Global Flood: I Survive on Duckweed

Chapter 187: Chapter 155: Miscalculation, Trusting Peach Blossom Spring (Part 2)

Ren Yuanyang rolled his eyes at him, a bit annoyed, and cursed with a laugh, ”Get the hell out of here and go on patrol!”

”You got it!” Qin Haonan grinned, put away his phone, and turned to walk out.

While Ren Yuanyang was analyzing for Qin Haonan how Dawn Base had taken down the United Fleet, the very same topic was being discussed on the regional channel.

”I just realized how strong Dawn Base is! They actually took down the United Fleet!”

”Took down? Didn’t they just merge after a friendly discussion?”

”The poster above is so naive. You actually believe everything they say!”

”What else could it be? The United Fleet has over twenty large ships! If I remember correctly, Dawn Base only has one. Plus, the United Fleet had already defeated the Han Jin Association Fleet and taken their cannons. They were incredibly powerful!”

”Then can you explain why they’re still using the Dawn Base name?”

”It’s just a base name. It doesn’t matter, right?”

”That base name means more than you think. It means Dawn Base is in charge, and the United Fleet essentially joined them!”

”No way! That’s insane. One ship took out twenty!”

”Could it be that the United Fleet had just run out of ammo after their battle, and Dawn Base just got lucky and picked up the scraps?”

”That’s a strong possibility, but the Han Jin Association Fleet’s ships should have still had plenty of weapons and ammo. I still don’t quite understand how Dawn Base managed to take down the United Fleet.”

The vast majority of survivors were still ordinary people. They knew Evolvers were powerful, but they had no clear idea just how powerful.

”It just goes to show that Dawn Base really is strong. Those other three big ships wanted to reap the rewards without any effort, and didn’t they just get chased off?”

”No wonder I couldn’t find Dawn Base anymore. They must have left their original location. It’s a good thing Dawn Base went and absorbed the United Fleet, or our group probably would have been eaten up!”

”Dawn Base is this strong, yet they couldn’t do anything to the group from Peach Blossom Base. Just how strong does that make Peach Blossom Base?”

”Yeah, now that you mention it, I’m realizing Peach Blossom Base is the even stronger one!”

”Peach Blossom Base was definitely stronger before, but that might not be true now. Dawn Base absorbed the United Fleet and their power has grown immensely. Peach Blossom Base might not be their match anymore!”

”That’s right. Right now, besides the Aircraft Carrier Base, Dawn Base is probably the largest in scale. Peach Blossom Base is probably just strong in terms of technology.”

”In terms of scale alone, the Aircraft Carrier Base is in a league of its own!”

The three captains of the Aircraft Carrier Base, which these survivors were just discussing, were also in the middle of a conversation.

After seeing the news that the United Fleet had taken down the Magpie Country’s Han Jin Association, they had started paying attention to their experiments on the Evolution Potion.

”Those bastards from Magpie Country!” Long Zhan cursed out loud.

Ji Yizhi was equally furious, but also helpless. ”The World’s Roof is attracting the surrounding nations. Magpie Country won’t be the last to harm our compatriots. We can only do our best to remind our people to be careful of everything!”

Wang Jun nodded slightly. ”That’s all we can do for now. Our current fuel supplies don’t allow our carrier fleet to go around putting out fires everywhere!”

”It’s a good thing the United Fleet took down that team from Magpie Country. It’s a form of revenge for our people,” Ji Yizhi continued. ”However, should we ask Dawn Base for that experimental data? After all, both Magpie Country and Lvzhi Country are attack dogs for Sea Eagle Country. Their data might be interconnected.”

”If we want that experimental data, we’ll probably have to offer something in return,” Wang Jun replied.

”Hasn’t Peach Blossom Base already made a breakthrough? There’s no need to trade with Dawn Base!” Long Zhan frowned slightly. ”Besides, I don’t think that team from Magpie Country would have any more effective experimental data.”

”But that’s just what Peach Blossom Base is claiming. We don’t know the specifics. I think we should prepare for both possibilities. What if the Magpie Country team had the full support of Sea Eagle Country?” Ji Yizhi shook his head, offering his suggestion.

Long Zhan curled his lip in resignation. ”Either way, I feel that waiting for a breakthrough from Peach Blossom Base is better than trading with Dawn Base!”

”Then you can just wait. Just don’t be jealous if we make a breakthrough first over here,” Ji Yizhi retorted.

”Fine. The experiments are at a standstill anyway. Let’s just split up for now and decide for ourselves what to do,” Long Zhan nodded. ”I’m going to reassign my research personnel to other projects.”

Long Zhan was right. Research on the Evolution Potion at the Aircraft Carrier Base had come to a near-complete halt. The research staff still had plenty of ideas, but due to current limitations, many of them couldn’t be tested.

Wang Jun nodded slightly. ”I agree.”

”I have no objections either,” Ji Yizhi agreed as well.

”Then let’s temporarily dissolve the joint research and development department for the Evolution Potion,” Wang Jun decided.

After dissolving the joint R&D department, Ji Yizhi sent a private message to Wang Jun: ”Captain Wang, what are your thoughts?”

Wang Jun pondered for a moment before replying, ”I also think preparing for both outcomes is the right move. However, I personally believe Peach Blossom Base is more worthy of building a good relationship with than Dawn Base is.”

Ji Yizhi immediately understood what he meant. ”In that case, I’ll go negotiate with Dawn Base.”

Wang Jun nodded. ”Share the results as soon as you have them.”

”Okay!”

Ji Yizhi immediately sent a private message to Jing Shu: ”I am Ji Yizhi, captain of the aircraft carrier Lu Ban. I hear you’ve acquired the experimental data from the Han Jin Association Fleet. Would it be possible to share it with us? It would help us develop the Evolution Potion faster.”

Upon receiving the private message, Jing Shu smiled. He knew that all he had to do was leak a little information, and the people from the aircraft carrier fleet would come knocking on his door.

”Of course, but I didn’t acquire this experimental data by myself. There are twenty other captains. With so many people, there are bound to be differing opinions. My approval alone isn’t enough!” Jing Shu’s words were a bit roundabout.

How could Ji Yizhi not understand the deeper meaning behind his words? He replied, ”Then we will offer some supplies in exchange.”

”If that’s the case, the other captains shouldn’t have any objections!” Jing Shu grew excited, but he steadied himself and continued, ”We are still in the process of recovering the experimental data. Let’s talk about the supplies once it’s fully restored.”

”Alright, I’ll wait for your message,” Ji Yizhi replied.

At the same time, Wang Jun actually contacted Ren Yuanyang.

”Did you see that Dawn Base obtained some experimental data on the Evolution Potion?” Wang Jun asked, getting straight to the point.

Ren Yuanyang immediately replied, ”Of course I saw it!”

”Do you need me to buy that data and share it with you?” Wang Jun’s question was skillfully phrased. He didn’t say it was for his own research, but rather framed it as an offer to share it with Ren Yuanyang.

Ren Yuanyang pursed his lips and replied, ”I don’t need it. We’re not on the same path as them.”

Wang Jun was taken aback for a second. ”’Not on the same path?’ Aren’t you also conducting experiments?”

”We are, but our direction is different,” Ren Yuanyang explained vaguely. He stopped beating around the bush with Wang Jun and said directly, ”If you want to buy the experimental data from Dawn Base, feel free. Although we have some friction with Dawn Base, that has nothing to do with you. Besides, I’m also curious to see how far Magpie Country’s research has progressed.”

”Captain Taoyuan Yang, you are truly magnanimous!” Wang Jun praised. To this day, he still believed that Peach Blossom Base was composed of several large ships.

Ren Yuanyang didn’t bother to explain further, simply warning, ”Be careful they don’t ask for an arm and a leg.”

”Okay, thank you for the warning,” Wang Jun replied.

After ending the chat, Wang Jun immediately posted his conversation with Ren Yuanyang to the captains’ group chat.

Ji Yizhi was a bit surprised. ”Is this Taoyuan Yang really so broad-minded?”

”Nice! I knew I wasn’t wrong about Peach Blossom Base. I like his style!” Long Zhan laughed heartily.

”Now we can trade with Dawn Base without any reservations. Captain Long, are you still not going to participate?” Ji Yizhi asked with a smile.

Long Zhan shook his head decisively. ”I’m not participating. I’m waiting for Peach Blossom Base to deliver results!”

Ji Yizhi was stunned and a little surprised. ”Even Peach Blossom Base doesn’t care about this. Don’t you want to prepare for both possibilities?”

”Taoyuan Yang’s reaction makes me even more convinced that Peach Blossom Base will definitely be the first to develop the Evolution Potion!” Long Zhan replied with a smile.
