Chapter 667 Great Changes in the Original World 21

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately turned to look at the middle-aged man beside him and asked in confusion: "Youde, do you know him?"

Lin Youde, who was standing by, became nervous when he heard this. He tried desperately to recall what happened, but he couldn't remember anything. He didn't remember Wu Xian at all. He was so anxious that he kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

At this moment, a guard soldier nearby seemed to remember something and hurried to Lin Youde. After whispering a few words, Lin Youde's eyes suddenly lit up and he remembered something.

"Yes, yes, I remember now. We did meet each other more than a month ago at Xixi Wetland!"

Wu Xian nodded and continued, "Where's Master Peng Wu? Why can't I see him?"

The old man seemed to have heard something. The young man in front of him seemed to know Peng Wu.

Lin Youde said disdainfully: "He was transferred because of some things!"

"Transferred? Why was he transferred?"

"This is a military secret and cannot be disclosed to outsiders!"

Wu Xian frowned when he heard this.

The old man seemed to have noticed Wu Xian's displeasure. He smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. He is now in the Central Security Base in Kyoto. If you need help with him, I can help you contact him!"

Wu Xian shook his head when he heard this. When he heard that Master Peng Wu had been transferred, he thought of the woman with whom he had a close relationship even though they had only been together for a short time. He thought that she must have also left with Master Peng Wu.

"Nothing! We've only met a few times, but we're not very familiar with each other!"

"Well! Have you made up your mind? Do you want to join the base? With your strength, I can allow you to set up a special operations team. You can select the personnel as you like, and you can only accept the highest-level direct orders! These conditions are impossible for others to have, so please consider it!"

When Wu Xian heard the old man's words, he knew that the old man was impressed by his abilities and wanted him to help him solve the problem of mutant creatures. However, Wu Xian did not want to be used as a thug by these guys and be asked to deal with the mutant creatures whenever he wanted.

If he kills them by himself, there won't be any problem and the materials he obtains will belong to him personally. But once he joins the base and becomes a part of the national power, things won't be so easy anymore. He will probably have to hand in all the gains from hunting mutant creatures.

Moreover, they have to obey orders from above, and their freedom will naturally be restricted, which is something Wu Xian does not want to see.

But in the current situation, if he refuses, he may not be able to leave easily. He may even become a wanted target of the country because of some problems. After all, he is a Chinese, so it is not advisable to deal with it too radically at this time to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After thinking for a while, Wu Xian said, "I'll think about it. Let's talk about it somewhere else!"

"Well, since the young man is willing to discuss it, that's a good thing. Then get in the car and let's sit down somewhere else and talk it over!"

The old man gave Lin Youde beside him a look, and Lin Youde wisely ordered his personal guards to handle the reception matters.

The old man turned around and got on the military vehicle. Wu Xian originally wanted to follow him, but was soon stopped by the guards.

"You sit in the back!"

Wu Xian didn't care, it was all the same anyway.

Before getting on the bus, Wu Xian remembered something. He shouted to the special forces who were trying to collect the mutant lion's body on the battlefield, "The lion died of poisoning. Don't touch its flesh and blood. If it's poisoned, I don't have an antidote!"

Upon hearing Wu Xian's shout, a special forces member who was about to reach out to touch the mutant lion's wound immediately retracted his hand.

Soon another troop arrived at the scene, along with a large crane and a semi-trailer. With the combined efforts of everyone, they put the mutant lion's body into a special canvas bag, then lifted it with a crane cable and pulled it to the experimental base.

Of course, all this happened after Wu Xian left. He didn't know that the mutant lion's body had been taken away by the base for research.

Wu Xian sat in the car. After driving for about half an hour, when Wu Xian saw the familiar streets and turned into the familiar roads, he knew where he was.

Sure enough, when the car stopped and everyone got off, there was a big sign in front of them that read, Xixi Wetland Park, Wu Xian is back here again, the place where he bullied that woman...

Recalling this, the Xixi Wetland has changed drastically. All the houses inside have been renovated, and the central area has been isolated and become the core of the Jiangnan Security Base. In addition to the important figures of the base, there are also soldiers responsible for protection.

Wu Xian was taken to a restaurant in Xixi Wetland. The furnishings inside were very simple and quaint. Not long after Wu Xian sat down, the old man appeared in the private room of the restaurant. After he sat down, someone soon came over to pour tea.

The waitress who came in was wearing a red, hip-hugging cheongsam, which made Wu Xian's eyes unconsciously glance at her.

"This is the best pre-rain Longjing tea, you can try it!"

The old man picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Wu Xian also picked up the teacup and took a sip. He didn't drink tea much so he couldn't taste anything. He didn't know whether the tea was good or not, but it tasted good anyway.

After Wu Xian took a few sips, the old man got to the point and continued to recruit Wu Xian.

"How is it? You should have thought it through clearly, right? You can propose the conditions and we can discuss. As long as you are willing to join the base, I can even help you apply for a regular national establishment, at least a cadre at the section level or above! If you perform well, you can be promoted to a department-level cadre!"

Wu Xian was somewhat tempted when he heard the conditions offered by the old man. Apart from anything else, he was promised a civil servant position at the section level or above before he even joined. In the past, a cadre of this level would at least be a town mayor.

Wu Xianlian had never seen a town mayor, let alone a department-level cadre. That was just someone at the level of an ordinary mayor. The person who could promise to give him such a position without any evidence was not an ordinary person in himself.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Wu Xian still asked the question in his mind.

"What is your position? Although I know you are not a simple person, I still want to ask you clearly. And the conditions you promised, how can I believe that they are not just empty words?"

"Haha, young man, you're right to be suspicious."

"I am the former chief of the Eastern Military Region. My last name is Lin. You can call me Commander Lin!"

"Because of wartime regulations, I am currently in charge of the Jiangnan Security Base. I can be said to be the top leader of the base!"

Although Wu Xian was mentally prepared, he was still frightened by the other party's words. The old man's background was still a little too great. Let alone the commander, Wu Xian had never seen any officers N levels below him. The most powerful one he had ever seen was probably Master Peng Wu.
