Chapter 1826: Going to collect a debt

After coming out of her idol's office, Xia Qing learned that after the disaster relief procedure was lifted, Shi Shi Youning had applied to enter the Territory 7 ward to visit Wu Wu Chengyu. She decided to go to Boss Wu's ward first to discuss some matters with the couple and settle the account by the way, saving Shi Shi Youning from having to run to Territory 3 again to find her to pay the debt.

Shi Shi Youning was worried that people from the Blue Blood Alliance would come to cause trouble while Zhang San was operating on Wu Wu Chengyu, so she had asked Xia Qing to find evolutionaries to form a patrol team to guard the evolutionary forest around Territory 7. Therefore, the reward for the Werewolf-Bird team's mission this time was to be paid by Shi Shi Youning.

After a strict inspection by Zheng Chen's team, Xia Qing entered Boss Wu's ward.

Boss Wu could have stayed in a regular single room, but a man-made poisoning case had occurred in Northern District 1, and the spies within Territory 7 had not yet been confirmed to be completely cleared. Therefore, for the boss's safety, he was arranged into an isolation ward.

Not only Wu Wu Chengyu, but Sun Sun Zhaoxiu of the Green Dragon team had also been transferred to the isolation ward. Wang Liang, whose injuries were lighter, had already been discharged and returned to Northern District 1 to recuperate.

Seeing Xia Qing arrive, Shi Shi Youning, who was tearful and smiling, stood up. Boss Wu, lying on the hospital bed, slowly turned his head and thanked her. "Sister Qing, you've worked hard over the past six hours. What type of bomb did the Blue Blood Alliance use?"

After Wu Wu Chengyu regained consciousness, he heard his wife talk about the emergency disaster relief procedure initiated in Northern District 1 and Xia Qing going over to retrieve the inert gas containment pod. He knew that while Third Brother was operating on him, the Blue Blood Alliance had launched an extreme and fierce attack on Northern District 1.

Xia Qing took the chair Shi Shi Youning moved over and sat down by the hospital bed, briefly introducing the mission situation. "It was a Qi-bomb the size of an ostrich egg, intercepted and contained 3 kilometers away from our territory. Fortunately, we had the containment pod prepared by Sixth Brother; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Boss Wu Wu Chengyu, an expert in precision instrument development, felt lingering fear after hearing this. "Does Sister Qing know the weight of the bomb?"

Xia Qing really didn't know the specific value. "They said it was about 3 jin, about the size of a round eggplant, and it was carried over by a high-level speed-evolutionary porcupine."

Wu Wu Chengyu's brain, which had just regained consciousness, reacted a bit slowly. It took nearly ten seconds for him to calculate the power of this bomb. "If this bomb was filled entirely with pure compressed Qi, based on this volume and weight, its TNT equivalent is about 21,000 tons. If detonated, the total destruction radius of this bomb would be about 800 meters, the severe damage radius would be 1500 meters, and the effective attack range of the shockwave would be 3000 meters. Given the Blue Blood Alliance's style of doing things, this bomb should have been detonated 1000 meters away from Territory 7..."

Boss Wu's voice trembled. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

Because of him, this national-level territory model demonstration zone, where nearly two thousand survivors lived, was almost completely destroyed. Wu Wu Chengyu had long known that the Blue Blood Alliance would stop at nothing to achieve its goals, but he hadn't expected these people to be crazy to such an extent...

Does Blue Blood really not treat ordinary people as their own kind anymore?

Shi Shi Youning held her husband's trembling hand. Just as she was about to reach into her pocket to take out her points card, Xia Qing, sitting opposite her, spoke up. "Sixth Brother's brain is indeed easy to use; he could calculate the attack power of this bomb even before the anesthesia wore off. Third Brother said the same thing. I believe the difficulty and danger level of this explosive ordnance disposal mission reached the 3S level. What do Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law think?"

Wu Wu Chengyu was still immersed in lingering fear and hadn't recovered.

Shi Shi Youning replied, "Sister Qing's judgment is very correct. This mission belongs to the 3S level. Thank you, Sister Qing, for saving our whole family's lives, and please also thank the evolutionaries who carried out the explosive ordnance disposal mission on our behalf. This is 500,000 points. If it's not enough, I'll go back and get more."

The minimum quote for a 3S-level mission at the Lan 1 base is 200,000 points, and at the Hui 3 base, it is 180,000. Intercepting and containing a nuclear-weapon-level Qi-bomb certainly cannot be paid according to the minimum quote, so Shi Shi Youning took out all the points cards she had in her pocket.

Xia Qing didn't take them. "Sixth Sister-in-law, that's too much. At our base, the reasonable valuation for this mission is 250,000. According to the rules of our alliance, transactions between allies are settled at market price."

Shi Shi Youning refused to take them back. "250,000 is used to pay for the mission points, and the rest is used to pay for the expenses incurred by the disaster relief and compensation for the families of the deceased in Territory 23."

Xia Qing shook her head. "The expenses for disaster relief within the Northern District 1 territory are paid by the base's special funds. If Sixth Sister-in-law wants to compensate the relatives of the deceased in Territory 23, you have to talk to them yourself. You can also ask Captain Tan to come forward; the latter has lower hidden dangers than the former."

Birds of a feather flock together. The lord and employees in Territory 23 are not good people.

Xia Qing had never had a direct conflict with them, but the employees of the Ninth Center had almost fought with them twice.

The first time was when they lay on the passage and wouldn't let the Ninth Center's harvester pass, shamelessly demanding that the Ninth Center's harvester and dryer help them harvest grain first; the second time was when the employees of the Ninth Center went out during the natural disaster to assist various territories in emergency harvesting, and Territory 23 didn't want to pay the reward but demanded assistance from the Ninth Center.

Besides these two things, there was an even more vicious one: the reason Xu Xu Cunchao hadn't received the accidental injury insurance compensation he bought for his mother was that an employee in Territory 23 anonymously reported that it was Xu Xu Cunchao who killed his mother.

Tang Huai heard about this when he was digging for insects in Territory 12. Xia Qing didn't ask who reported it, but these people in Territory 23 had all come out with Xu Xu Cunchao in the tenth year of the natural disaster, and there had been no personnel changes in the past six months.

That is to say, the person who reported it was still in the territory, either in isolation or already dead.

Most of the relatives of those who died from the virus infection were in Territory 23. If these people knew that they could squeeze oil and water out of the Wu family, they would definitely use various means to cling to this family.

Even if they sucked the Wu family's blood dry and chewed their bones to pieces, these people wouldn't be grateful; instead, they would feel that the Wu family owed them.

No one who has lived to the twelfth year of the natural disaster is a fool. Shi Shi Youning immediately understood Xia Qing's meaning. She took back a few points cards and handed the 250,000 to Xia Qing. "Thank you for the reminder, Sister Qing. I'm not familiar with the situation in each territory yet. After the New Year, I will consult Captain Tan first, and then discuss with Old Wu how to handle this matter."

According to the "Territory Law," the person who released the poison was not sent by the Wu family, and they were unaware of this matter, so they had no liability for compensation.

The Wu family hadn't moved into the territory for long, and Shi Shi Youning probably hadn't had the energy to study the "Territory Law" carefully. After Xia Qing fulfilled her duty as an ally and gave a reminder, she didn't say anything more.

She reached out and took the points card handed over by Shi Shi Youning and began to talk about the second thing. "The containment pod for the Qi-bomb was taken away by people sent by the Base Commander. I don't know when it will be sent back."

Wu Wu Chengyu, who had stabilized his emotions, spoke gently, his voice weak but his words were not weak at all. "Don't worry about this. I'll make two more when my body recovers."

Boss, awesome!!!

When Xia Qing saves up enough points, she must ask the boss to make one of each according to the list of precision instruments he listed.

If the boss agrees, Xia Qing not only wants to open a factory with him to earn points but also wants to be his exclusive product agent.

She wants to purchase the precision instruments for animals developed by the boss and sell them to Xin Yu, Broken-Waist Wolf, the two melons, and the White-Eyed Raven.

Fourth? That guy has no taste, cross him out directly.
