As he expected, Leng Xuantong popped his eyes at the sight of the plant, then rushed up to him and grasped the plant with excitement, “This is uninfected! This is uninfected!”
Leng Xuantong held the plant and carefully felt it with his hand. It was unbelievably pure!
“Where did you get this? Do you have more?” Leng Xuantong looked at Lin Feng, thrilled.
Lin Feng pointed at Lin Wenwen and said, “She brought it back. She has five-hundred kilograms of fresh plants and some uninfected seeds. As long as those seeds are planted in Chief’s space, we’ll never be short of uninfected catmint again.”
“Really? Oh, this is amazing! But… Wenwen, where did you find so much of it?” Leng Xuantong was overwhelmed with joy at first, but he soon turned to Lin Wenwen questioningly.
“I’ll keep that secret for now,” Lin Wenwen said to him with a smile, then took a step backward and waved a hand. Following her movement, three large bagfuls of catmint showed up on the ground before her feet.
Leng Xuantong’s eyes glowed brightly when he saw the three bagfuls of plants. He even wore a greedy look on his face, like how some people might react when they saw three huge bagfuls of cash before the apocalypse.
“Are these enough for your research? I have more. Should I be sending some to Sea City Base?” Lin Wenwen first talked to Leng Xuantong, then to Lin Feng.
“Yes, yes! These are all uninfected. These will be more effective than the ones were used before by a hundred times over. It can be diluted before being used for experiments!” Leng Xuantong nodded quickly.
Lin Feng nodded and said, “Sea City Base is producing catmint weapons. We can send them some of these. I think they’ll be able to make better weapons with pure catmint.”
Sea City Base had been working together with All Beings Base to produce the weapons. All Beings Base provided catmint and information while Sea City Base was responsible for developing the weapons. Thirty percent of their products would be given to All Beings Base in return.
After leaving the lab, Lin Feng sent Lin Wenwen straight to Sea City. Jiang Anan, Qin Yu, Sun Lunan, Dou Yunfan and Jiang Anan, who were recently trained in the base, formed a squad together with zombie Number Three, Six, and Jingyan, to escort Lin Wenwen.
Jiang Anan joined the army once she followed Lin Qiao to All Beings Base. As a level-four earth-power possessor, she was considered as a capable one. Moreover, she was familiar with Sea City Base.
Ever since she experienced what Bai Xuer had done to her, she became even more aloof than before. She cared about her missions only. In the army, she was always alone, training herself. Her scarred face was always as cold as ice. Her fierce vibe grew slightly soft only when she went home to see her mother.
The journey from All Beings Base to Sea City Base was peaceful. Apart from a few mutated beasts, no trouble occurred, and no underground creatures were seen either. Soon, they arrived at Sea City Base safely.
The zombies didn’t enter the base, but stayed outside and found a place to rest as they waited for Lin Wenwen to come out. Meanwhile, Jiang Anan, Qin Yu and the others followed Lin Wenwen.
The one who was responsible for the development of catmint weapons was a weapon scientist. He was a gray-haired old man who was respected by the entire base. Even Xiao Yunlong didn’t dare to talk loudly to him.
Of course, Xiao Yunlong wouldn’t take Lin Wenwen and her people into the research base for weapons. Lin Wenwen was an old friend, so he conveniently guided her into the reception room.
“You look good. I guess Lin Feng and Lin Hao were so worried when you disappeared. They just couldn’t find you.” The first thing Xiao Yunlong did when he saw Lin Wenwen was to observe her. Lin Wenwen only smiled silently in response.
“Why did Lin Feng send you to deliver materials to us this time? He usually sends someone else for the job,” Xiao Yunlong had no idea what Lin Wenwen was delivering. According to Lin Feng’s message, it was some important material.
“Because it’s safer to keep it in my space. Also, the quantity isn’t small,” Lin Wenwen looked around, then gave Xiao Yunlong an eye signal. The latter soon understood her meaning. Clearly, it needed to be kept secret.
He waved a hand and signaled for his men to leave.
Then, Lin Wenwen told Qin Yu and the others to leave too. At last, only Xiao Yunlong, Meng Yue, and herself stayed in the room.
Lin Wenwen stood up from the couch and walked to the middle of the room, then took a hundred kilograms of catmint out of her space and put them on the floor.
“There is a hundred kilograms of pure catmint, completely uninfected. I think it’ll be very helpful for you guys,” she looked at Xiao Yunlong and said.
Xiao Yunlong stared at the pile of bags full of catmint. Hearing Lin Wenwen say that the plants were all uninfected, he looked at Lin Wenwen with disbelief and said, “Uninfected? That’s impossible! Can you still find uninfected plants now?”
Lin Wenwen shrugged as she stepped back to the couch and sat down, “Check them yourself if you don’t believe me.”
Before Xiao Yunlong made a move, Meng Yue, who was sitting by his side, stood up and walked to those bags. She then touched a bag with her fingers and said, “She’s right! They are all pure, not infected at all.”
“No way! Really?” Xiao Yunlong was surprised.
Meng Yue was a green power possessor. She said those plants were uninfected, so they were certainly uninfected. She couldn’t be wrong. But, how was that possible? The plants that now existed in the world had mutated twice, and uninfected plants had probably died out. How did All Beings Base people find so much uninfected catmint?
Xiao Yunlong walked to the bags with disbelief and opened one to find some fresh catmint plants. Indeed, he didn’t sense any virus energy from those plants.
Meng Yue was stunned too. She looked at Lin Wenwen and asked her, “Where did you find these?”
“That’s a secret,” Lin Wenwen smiled and said, “We’ll be able to keep providing it to you on one condition. I want ten percent more of the weapons.”
Meng Yue and Xiao Yunlong didn’t react strongly to her request, and only glanced at each other as they fell into thoughts.
Lin Wenwen’s requirement was reasonable actually. Catmint was the main raw material needed for the weapons, and uninfected catmint could certainly deliver the best effect. If All Being Base could provide such catmint, giving them forty percent of the finished products would be fair. Sea City Base wouldn’t suffer any loss by taking only sixty percent of the finished products. After all, Sea City Base only needed to provide the metal.
