Chapter 152

The slave was strongly pulled over, had his sleeves pushed up, exposing his skinny arm and showing the thin wound dripping with blood change from bright red to dark red, and finally black. The slaves waxy complexion also turned pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat as he was apparently infected with zombie poison.

The guard pulled the rope around the slaves neck and walked him around the hall like a dog, letting everyone see whether his wound was fake. Twenty base chiefs examined the wound one by one and nodded their heads firmly.

Song Haoxuan looked at the scientist in the white coat that was waiting at the side of the hall. He raised his jaw and motioned him to give the disinfectant to the slave. The man in the white coat nodded and carefully opened the metal box in his arms, showing everyone the bottle of pale green potion.

The legendary salvation potion finally appeared and the leaders of the different bases couldnt help but stand up and walk to the center of the conference hall to surround the man in the white coat and the wounded slave. They wanted to verify the efficacy of the disinfectant with their own eyes.

Song Haoxuan had seen it many times and was no longer interested in it. So, he sat calmly on his throne and gazed at the unmoved and uninterested Gong familys base with darkened eyes and a frown.

Dont you want to go up and see? Song Haoxuan asked Song Haoran, who sat expressionlessly next to him.

Song Haoran shook his head without answering him. Only after seeing Gong Lixin stand up, walk towards Li Dongsheng, take a handheld camera from him before squeezing into the crowd did he get up to follow. Lin Wenbo, Dou Heng and He Jin also walked towards the crowd one after another.

Seeing the teenager walking with a camera in hand, the leaders of the other bases greeted him with tight smiles before separating to make a path for the teenager straight to the middle of the encirclement. Song Haoran, Lin Wenbo, Dou Heng and He Jin were four tall and powerful men. They were like four King Kongs standing silently behind the youth, making the other leaders even more uneasy and nervous.

Lets get started. Gong Lixin ordered the man in white coat as he adjusted his camera. The man in white coat had been waiting outside the hall and had already seen this young mans strength through the slit of the door. He nodded unconsciously and respectfully.

He asked two guards to hold the slave, held a pair of tweezers in one hand with a lump of cotton in between and slowly dabbed the green potion on the slaves wound.

Ah~ The slave raised his head and screamed loudly, scaring the people around and making them take a step back. When the wound on his arm touched the disinfectant, a lot of foam came out and the black blood mixed with some skin was washed out. The man in white coat applied the disinfectant with tweezers since the potion was highly corrosive, so application was really painful. It was no wonder that even the slaves that were used to being beaten ended up screaming at the pain.

When half of the bottle of disinfectant was used, the thin wound on the slaves arm had turned into a blur of flesh and blood, but the black venom had turned back into bright red blood. Obviously, the toxin had been washed away. Although the damage from the medicine was worse, as long as one doesnt become a walking dead, the result was satisfactory enough. More than twenty chiefs applauded in unison with awe in their expression.

Gong Lixin zoomed in with the lens and carefully filmed everything. He also took a close-up of the potion with the man in the white coat.

Jin Shangyu was unable to attend because she wanted to watch over Jin Shanghui, so this task was specially explained by her. She said that she would make a similar potion in the future to earn supplies for the base. She had heard that it was possible to get fragrant rice in exchange. Thus Gong Lixin naturally attached great important to this and meticulously completed his task.

Leader, is it okay for him to film like this? Zheng Chaohe asked in a low voice when he saw the youths behaviour.

So what if it is filmed? Without the necessary equipment, people and finished product, can he really copy it? In order to alleviate the pain in his chest, Song Haoxuan poured himself a gla.s.s of spirits.

That is true. Zheng Chaohe nodded and continued speaking, He seems to be very interested in our disinfectant.

Its good that hes interested. I dont know what price he would be willing to exchange for it in the future. Song Haoxuan grinned and sneered coldly.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Bai Hong looked at the people at the center, then at the rest of the Gong familys bases members who still remained seated and were simply eating and drinking. She felt that something was weird somewhere. With so many people there, why were these four not curious? You know, this potion can possible save lives. Even ability users from their own base were curious about it, yet these people were only concerned about eating and didnt even bother lifting their eyes.

Didnt Gong Lixin film it? Maybe theyll look at them later? Maybe they would rush back to see the film when they get back. Thinking of it like that, Bai Hongs doubt disappeared.

Gong Lixin went back to his original seat and went through the video again. When he saw that the effect was good, he nodded in satisfaction. Seeing this, He Jin whispered, How is it? Do you regret it now? Its not to late to change your mind. Theres still room for recovery. When you leave tomorrow, you can cut off my limbs and give it to Song Haoxuan.

What are you talking about? You gave yourself to me and I wont hand you over that easily. Gong Lixin stared at He Jin and blinked at him.

The young mans eyes were angry even as his dark eyes were more s.h.i.+ny than the stars in the sky, penetrating the heavy defenses around He Jins heart. It shone into the softest place in his heart and caused his heart to grow hot. He Jins eyes kept changing with emotions and, finally, he dropped his head and laughed. The laughter was full of joy and was carefree. No matter how much he had suffered, he could finally fulfill his promise of being with this young man.

Witnessing the magical effect of the disinfectant, more than 20 base leaders were no longer interested in watching the follow-up program. Among them, the few people with higher rank next to the Song familys base, sat next to Song Haoxuan and took out the material list that had been prepared by their base. They went out and discussed in low voices with Song Haoxuan, trying to curry favor. Then came the lengthy and dull process of negotiations and bargaining. The Song familys base, who had been hit hard by Gong Lixin, took back the limelight of the conference. As long as this potion was in their hands, all the survivors of Country C could only curry favor with Song familys base.

Boring, lets go back. Gong Lixin stood up and waved at his father. Father Gong knew that they were leaving and stepped forward to tell Song Haoxuan so.

What should we do with him? He Jin kicked the person at his feet. Fang Ye had a terrified expression on his face.

Gong Lixin stopped and beckoned Li Dongsheng to come over. He asked him for the bottle of pills that he had stored with the words Fang Ye written on it and which had been stored for three years. He forced open Fang Yes jaw and poured all the pills inside his mouth and made sure the other swallowed them. Gong Lixin nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand then, Okay, hell deal with it later. Lets go.

Li Dongsheng and He Jin looked at each other and their eyes flashed with understanding and they smiled. It turned out that this mysterious little medicine bottle was actually to be used here. Lixin (Boss) sure holds a grudge!

Seeing the back of the Gong family and their party as they turned and left without hesitation, Song Haoxuans eyes darkened for a moment. Right then, an ability user came in a hurry. Seeing that the leader was talking to the other heads of the base, he didnt dare interrupt and walked to Zheng Chaohe instead to report his findings in a low voice. Zheng Chaohes face became more and more shocked and even Bai Hong sitting beside him was shocked at the words she heard.

Whats wrong? Song Haoxuan stopped talking and asked with a frown. That person was sent specially to inquire about the situation of Gong familys base. Seeing him looking anxious, Song Haoxuan had a bad hunch creeping up his heart.

Zheng Chaohe stepped forward and whispered in his ear, If I understand clearly, Gong Lixin is 19 years old. Hes a four system wind, fire, ice and power ability user whose level is unclear, but should be at least fourth level and higher. Zheng Chaohe had thought that their leaders double system was rare in this world, but now they find out that they were too ignorant and theres someone above them. Gong Lixin is already this strong at such a young age. How strong would he get in a few years? The Song familys base still had its reputation today thanks to their leader, but now that Gong Lixins here, the Gong familys base would definitely take the lead and flourish. Fortunately, the disinfectant was successfully developed, otherwise, the life of the Song familys base would be in a very sad state. Thinking of that, Zheng Chaohe was slightly relieved.

However, Song Haoxuans mood had not relaxed one bit. He pursed his lips and the fists on his sides were white. He had always been the one on top, but one day, he was beaten down to the ground. This huge psychological gap almost made him lose control on the spot. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down his dysphoric mood. He then moved away from Zheng Chaohe and continued to negotiate with the leaders of the other bases.

Although Song Haoxuan looked the same as usual, everyone could hear the abnormally tightness in his voice. There were several people who were close enough to have overheard and repeatedly thought about the ambiguous words four-system ability user and all above fourth-level mid-grade that they heard. A shocking guess formed in their minds then. If that truly was the case, it was really unclear who would rule Country C in the future!

As soon as Gong Lixin walked out of the conference hall, Lu Yun, who had been waiting for a long time outside the door, greeted him immediately.

Young Master Gong, can we go with you tomorrow? His eyes were full of expectation even though his expression showed his uneasiness. Between that disinfectant and his friends, he didnt know what choice Young Master Gong would make?

Pack your things up tonight and come to our warehouses tomorrow morning to leave. Gong Lixin spoke slowly and smiled at him. As soon as his words fell, he patted the other on the shoulder and walked away.

Lu Yun froze for a while. It took a long time before he could return to reality. When he did though, he cheered enthusiastically. He Jin smirked and was about to follow the young man, but was blocked by Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran.

How many people are going to be coming? Lin Wenbo asked in a low voice.

I dont know. After I go back, Ill ask them for their opinions. Those who are willing to leave, will leave; those who are willing to stay, will stay, but Lu Yun and I will definitely leave. He Jin replied slowly.

Then you have to be mentally prepared. Our base is very exclusive. Youll have to pay a great price to fully integrate into the group. Life would be no easier than living in Liaocheng. Song Haoran said with a deep voice.

Thats okay. As long as Lixin doesnt exclude us. As for the rest, sooner or later, theyll learn to accept us. He Jin said casually. He was determined to go with Lixin and no one could stop him. Lu Yun on the side nodded again and again, not afraid of being excluded.

Lin Wenbo smiled and narrowed his eyes, Its good to have that kind of mentality. By the way, theres one more thing I forgot to tell you. Haoran and I are already together with Xiaoxin.

The casualness in He Jins turquoise eyes was replaced with tenseness. He unconsciously tightened his back and looked straight at them, his face going a little dark. Lu Yun also opened his mouth wide, shocked and speechless.

But after a moment, He Jins twisted expression recovered and was the same as usual. He sighed before he sneered, Since one person can be squeezed into two people, it wouldnt be too much to add me in. Is that right? He raised his brows, his eyes full of red, naked provocation. You want him to give Lixin up? In you dreams! Without Lixin, he didnt know how he would live in the future!

You Song Haorans mysterious, red eyes ignited into two cl.u.s.ters of anger and he grabbed He Jins collar, ready to throw a fist.

Do you really want to beat him? Gong Lixin will be unhappy. Dou Heng warned them. He stood in the distance and watched the three of them entangle with each other. The teenager was still close by and was chatting with Gong Xiangyi.

Gong Xiangyi gave the young man a hug and then quickly ran away. The youth turned his head and looked back; his eyes full of confusion. Song Haoran immediately let go and smirked as he smoothed the folds of He Jins collar. No matter how angry he got, he couldnt let it out in Song familys territory. Anyway, He Jin was also now one of their own people. As Dou Heng had said, its really to unsightly to fight now.

Seeing that they had calmed down, Dou Heng nodded to the three men and walked away, following Gong Lixin like a shadow. In his view, it was really meaningless to compete with others to rob the young man.

In his opinion, protecting the young man was what was really important.

Whos he? He Jins attention immediately turned to Dou Heng.

Another rival. Lin Wenbo said in a deep voice before he strode away with Song Haoran.

Brother, the enemies are strong. Good luck! As several people walked away, Lu Yun patted He Jins shoulder with sympathy.

He Jin glared at him and returned to his room to pack his things. Finally, he was able to return to Lixins side, but he had to spend time with these people. Since the other was a treasure, there must be a lot of robbers waiting to steal him. He had already been mentally prepared.

CrazedCookies: About that, did it not come to their minds that, since Gong Lixin is strong enough to kill all the powerhouses in the base, he can just

take

the potion?
