Chapter 320: Negotiations (4)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Compared to Zhao Yus well-trained soldiers, they were like a mob.

She didnt know that Zhao Yu was eager for both sides to withdraw their guns. After all, his soldiers really didnt have any bullets in their guns!

Meng Xian turned around and looked at Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu, I wonder how long you will be staying here?!

Zhao Yu seemingly dissatisfied with her probing into the military operation.

Dont misunderstand!

Before we came here, we didnt know that you were stationed here. We originally planned to set up a camp here Meng Xian hurriedly explained.

So, I want to ask when youre leaving. After all, the solar power here is quite useful to us

That will depend on higher-ups arrangements. But from what my brother told me, this military base is quite essential. Many more resources and personnel will be deployed here in the future.

This

Meng Xian felt a touch of disappointment. If they completed their mission and left, it would be better since the solar power plant would remain for them.

The main base of Re Zhao Corporation is in the north. It should be inconvenient to come here. Initially, Id like to set up a trade exchange point with you. What do you think?

Trade?

Zhao Yu contemplated for a moment. Trading with Meng House Village for the supplies he needed seemed like a good idea.

Its a minor matter; I can decide.

Meng Xian felt a little moved, thinking Zhao Yu was fortunate to have such a trusting brother to grant him this level of authority.

Well, our settlement is lacking electricity. Can we move our camp here?

Zhao Yu was pondering his response.

After all, he was currently wielding borrowed power, using the prestige of the Re Zhao Corporation to intimidate Meng Xian and her group.

We dont have to be in the power plant. Theres a vast open s.p.a.ce outside the east gate. We can set up camp there. If possible, Id like our camp to have electricity.

Outside the east gate?

Zhao Yu stroked his chin. The area outside the east gate was an option. It was a fair distance from his base, so he wasnt afraid that Meng Xians group would see through his facade.

Meng Xian had her own concerns. If they were too far away, Zhao Yu might have other ideas.

If both parties were closer, even if Zhao Yu harbored ulterior motives, he would have to consider the proximity and worry about Meng Xian action.

So, while it seemed like she was asking Zhao Yus opinion, she was quite determined to move the camp there.

The power plant is currently shut down. Do you know how to restart it?

Well, dont you guys know? Meng Xian didnt understand the intricacies, but she a.s.sumed that Zhao Yu could handle such issues.

We do have the capability to restart the power plant, but whats in it for us?

Meng Xian was overjoyed as a sign that Zhao Yu agreed to their relocation outside the east gate.

We can exchange goods for it, any supplies, as long as the price is right She quickly responded.

It doesnt have to be complicated.

Well manage the power plantrepairs, operations, maintenance. You just pay for the electricity you use. Zhao Yu directly proposed.

Pay for electricity?

Meng Xian glanced at her group. Most of them had expressions that seemed to say, Please agree, leader.

Paying for electricity is fine, but how do we determine the price? She nodded.

Zhao Yu wasnt in a rush to discuss the price, No need to hurry. We currently lack the personnel to repair the power plant. First, move your camp here. Once I request more personnel from the higher-ups and the electricity is restored, well offer a free trial day of operation. We can discuss the pricing later.

Discussing the price now would be premature, as they wouldnt know if it would be profitable or not. The specifics could be discussed once the plant was operational.

Moreover, Zhao Yu felt somewhat uneasy and wanted to send Meng Xian and her group away as soon as possible.

Agreed!

Meng Xian was delighted. She recalled what Xu Meng Lan mentioned about Zhao Yus improvement over the week.

Perhaps, he had really turned over a new leaf?!

Following this, Meng Xian handed over the eight prisoners to Zhao Yu, and while pointing to the alien creature, she curiously asked, What kind of creature is this? Ive never seen anything like it before!

Zhao Yu casually replied, Its an alien, a new type of creature. As for its origin, Im not sure. We received orders from the group to eliminate it.

Is it powerful?

Meng Xian had noticed that along with the creatures body, there were four soldiers, probably lost in the combat.

Very powerful. Zhao Yu said.

At the same time, he entrusted Meng Meng in the group to her. Shes a survivor we rescued. We initially planned to send someone to escort her to your village, but since youre here, you might as well take her with you.

Meng Xian was slightly surprised. She hadnt expected Zhao Yu to bring back a survivor for them.

However, thinking back the mother and daughter whom Zhao Yu had directed them to Meng House Village, she believed him.

Meng Meng, who had witnessed Meng Xians negotiation with Zhao Yu, was already filled with admiration for her. Upon Meng Xians gesture, Meng Meng hurriedly approached.

The two parties went their separate ways. Zhao Yu remained at the base, while Meng Xian and her team left.

After they had left the base, a few individuals approached Meng Xian with concern, Madam Meng, are we just going to leave like this? Is it okay?

Yes, Meng Xian nodded.

Although I believe he will keep his promise, to be safe, we should keep an eye on them.

She selected four individuals, Ill set up a surveillance team. Youll be responsible. If you notice any military personnel heading our way, report immediately.

This alleviated everyones worries.

Sister Meng, are we really going to be neighbors with them? Xiao Liu was somewhat uneasy, deep down feeling that these soldiers couldnt be trusted.

Indeed, Meng Xian smiled, Being neighbors with these soldiers isnt necessarily a bad thing.

If they harbor no ill intentions, then in tricky situations, we can ask for their help or lead them to intervene.

She didnt believe that if there were large numbers of mutated creatures or radiation beasts, Zhao Yu and his team would not just stand by.

Although it seems different from our original plan, We can still considered it a success. Those on the surveillance team stay, the rest come with me. Lets prepare to move our camp! Hahaha Meng Xian laughed heartily..
