At that time, in Huaxia Base, Si Kongchen was sitting in the office, reading a report with a poker face. Xie Longyun was sitting on the couch in his office, doing her manicure with her legs crossed.
Xie Longyun paused and said, “But, I think our own weapons aren’t worse than theirs. As long as the people in your research base use their brains, it won’t be hard to improve our current weapons. Don’t you know serious our shortage of food is now? The crops cultivated without soil have low nutrition value, not to mention the pathetically poor harvest. We need to provide over a million people three meals a day. I wonder if you’ve ever thought about how many people might die of starvation.”
“Don’t forget that you’re a base leader,” said Xie Longyun, “You are responsible for the residents of your base. Otherwise, why would they seek protection from you? Without such a big population, where could you find so many technicians to strengthen this base? If you don’t care about them, you might regret when they all leave.”
Si Kongchen turned a page of the report and said, “He won’t come to me. I heard from his men that he was taken by the woman from All Beings Base.”
Xie Longyun stopped short, then raised her head and looked at him with surprise, “She has the courage to do that? She actually let a robber join her base? How ridiculous! Is she dumb?”
“The result would certainly be her joining Sea City Base, and then Sea City Base would have two level-eight beings. What good would that do to us?” said Si Kongchen coldly.
