Chapter 166 That's it
After inspecting the cornfield, Gu Xi had just returned to the dormitory when he received a call from Li Ming.

In the video, Li Ming looked a little tired: "Xiao Xi, I know everything, it was Li Xiao who did it."

Gu Xi frowned, "Li Xiao? Your...cousin?"

Gu Xi remembered Li Xiao, but what impressed her deeply was not Li Xiao, but Li Xiao's superb parents.

At the beginning, the pair of Jipin didn't know where they got the news. Knowing that Li Ming was not dead and was still doing well in the central base, they dragged their families to find them, and insisted that Li Ming be in charge of their family's future life.

Li Ming, who was robbed of his family property by that couple and pushed into the pile of zombies with his own hands, naturally would not agree.

The couple talked about Li Ming's parents who had passed away for many years. They said that Li Ming's father had sworn in front of his grandfather's hospital bed that he would take care of his younger brother for the rest of his life.

Now that Li Ming's father is gone, it's up to his father to pay his debts, and Li Ming will take care of his uncle.

But at that time, Li Ming was just a frail boy of eleven or twelve years old.

Then the big family made him responsible, who would not say the best when they saw it?
Gu Xi doesn't remember how Li Ming dealt with it later, all he knows is that not long after, the couple disappeared, leaving only a young Li Xiao, who was finally sent to the orphanage at the base by Li Ming.

Li Ming nodded, put his hands on the wheelchair, tapped his fingertips, and said softly: "Well, it's him."

At first, Li Ming really didn't take this little cousin seriously.

But I didn't expect that Li Xiao was also capable. He used Li Ming's name in private, and as the younger brother of the vice captain of the doomsday team, he finally got him into the management of the base.

Although the official position was not big at that time, it was impressive.

Later Li Ming found out about this, but he didn't do anything. Instead, he let this little cousin act in his name.

Until ten years ago, there was a problem with his ability, and if he sat in that position again, he would become a living target in the eyes of others.

But if he retreated on his own initiative, others might not be relieved.

Thus, Li Xiao came in handy.

At that time, Li Xiao was still one of the eight deputy ministers of the logistics department, but he had already set his sights on the position of minister.

Li Ming asked people to release news, saying that if the two Li family brothers controlled the two vital departments of the base at the same time, it would probably make the top leaders of the base fearful...

So, in order to climb up, Li Xiao naturally had to kick away his cousin, the stepping stone.

In this way, Li Ming left the intelligence department "miserably and despondently", and finally hid behind others.

"Why did he do this?" Gu Xi asked while sorting out the materials.

She actually didn't understand Li Xiao's approach very well.

Judging from the current situation, no matter which side Li Xiao took refuge in back then, he has now been reduced to a chess piece that was discarded after the game.

Even if he completely disrupts the current situation, he can only keep his position temporarily, but this move will undoubtedly offend many people, and his future end... I'm afraid it will be a bit miserable.

Li Ming didn't answer this question directly, but said: "Li Xiao went to area 0569 a few days ago."

Gu Xi paused with her fingertips in front of the light screen, and looked up: "I remember Ye Xin was there too."

"Not bad." Li Ming tapped his hand on his thigh slowly: "Xiaoxi, I suspect that those dormant warehouses are hidden in area 0569."

Gu Xi frowned slightly: If it was really hidden in that place, Ye Xin went out to search for it for so many days, it is impossible to find it.

unless……

Gu Xi suddenly closed the light screen, got up and opened the door.

"Miss Gu?" Outside the door, the little soldier who was about to raise his hand to knock on the door was stunned for a moment, then saluted, and said, "Miss Gu, someone wants to meet you."

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Xi crossed the cornfield, looked at Shen Yue who was lazily leaning against the off-road vehicle to bask in the sun, and raised his eyebrows.

Shen Yue raised his finger and pointed to the cornfield beside him, but he looked away.

——No way, some old comrades are too embarrassing.

But in fact, Shen Zhennan, an old comrade, still pays attention to his image.

A second before Gu Xi looked over, he hurriedly stuffed the half-gnawed corn into the hands of the guard at the side, wiped his mouth, then turned around and walked in front of Gu Xi as if nothing had happened.

Smiling, he said, "Comrade Gu, this brat in my family didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

Gu Xi glanced at someone who was looking at the sky boredly, and nodded: "...It's okay."

After thinking about it, this is her parent after all. Thinking of the worldly wisdom that Li Ming taught her before, Gu Xi paused, and added sincerely: "Shen Yue is a good teammate."

Shen Zhennan was stunned for a moment, then concealed the disappointment in his heart, and laughed twice.

Whether it's her teammates... Isn't all of her teammates in the past all very prosperous now?
"With your words, I'm relieved." After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Zhennan naturally changed the subject, and he looked up at the corn field beside him: "The corn is growing well."

He just tasted it, and it tasted like it was more than 30 years ago...

Gu Xi also feels that she is very good at farming. Except for the fact that she used a little ability when raising the seedlings, this batch of corn has been in a state of natural growth - of course, this is also to cooperate with the work of the scientific researchers.

After all, most of the people who will go out to open up wasteland and farm in the future are ordinary people.

After all, supernatural beings are only a minority.

"Are you angry?" Shen Zhennan suddenly turned around and asked her: "Those rumors in the base...are they too much?"

Gu Xi stared at the corn doll in front of her, and slowly shook her head.

There's nothing to be angry about. Although Li Ming kept saying that she was too soft-hearted, in fact, Gu Xi knew that he was a cold person from the bottom of his heart.

She doesn't get angry or mind, it's just because she doesn't care.

That's it.

In this world, there are actually very few people and things that she really cares about.

Shen Zhennan took a deep look at her, then went up two steps and raised his hand to break off the corn doll she was looking for, and threw it to the guard behind him, and said back, "So you won't be angry?"

Those people have clearly received your favor, so it’s fine to be ungrateful, but they will bite you back and slander you with empty teeth, wishing to trample you into the mud...

Gu Xi withdrew her gaze and looked up at Shen Zhennan: "It's just a corn doll, I'm not that stingy."

What's more... Those gossips have long since failed to hurt her.

Now Shen Zhennan brought up this matter frankly - this is to test her attitude, afraid that she will give up in a fit of anger?

After all, the knife of public opinion, sometimes, can really kill people invisible.

But Gu Xi really didn't care.

Shen Zhennan has been in a high position for many years, so he still has a good eye for seeing people.

Seeing that Gu Xi was really not angry, he nodded, and then tentatively brought up another purpose of his trip: "Then if it's this evil wind, will it have to blow for a while?"

Gu Xi understood.

Li Ming can find out the source of this evil wind, so is it true that the military can't find out?
This matter was discussed with Li Ming before she went out to see Shen Zhennan just now.

It's not that it can't be found, but it's...not the best time to deal with it.

Because so far, apart from Gu Xi, only the dead Yang Qiao was lucky enough to complete a reverse evolution experiment of plants independently.

But now, Yang Qiao is dead.

Someone put this pot on the head of the military.

It is said that Yang Qiao is just a cover pulled up by the military to deceive people. In fact, he does not have that ability at all. The military deliberately released this kind of fake news in order to attract more supernatural beings, expand their influence, and compete with the base. right……

It's obviously not true, but just because Yang Qiao died, it became a case of no evidence.

Unless, a new supernatural person can stand up and cooperate with the scientific research personnel to complete a reverse evolution experiment of plants.

Defeat lies with facts.

But not now, the military can only wrong Gu Xi for a while - it's better to say that Gu Xi is hiding something than the military is lying.
