Chapter 34: Desert Base

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The passengers had experienced life and death, so they were very enthusiastic about their savior.

“So you two know each other?”

“No wonder they work so well together! They must be a couple, right? Are they on a honeymoon trip?”

They surrounded Bai Jing and Si Qian and kept asking questions. They even took out the snacks and fruits they brought with them and forced it into their hands. Their enthusiasm made Bai Jing feel burdened, and her expression gradually stiffened.

The plane landed very quickly. Bai Jing took advantage of her location and left first. She rushed to the hinterland to get an orchid sample.

Si Qian stayed behind to comfort the passengers and answer their questions.

“What will happen to the two terrorists?”

“Are you really the director of the weapons research institute? Are you researching missiles or tanks? Do you usually have to keep your identities a secret?”

The chaotic environment made Si Qian feel a little dizzy. Fortunately, some ground staff quickly came out to maintain order and urged them to leave the cabin.

Si Qian was able to catch his breath and rubbed his temples. A captain in uniform rushed over and saluted Si Qian. He said apologetically, “Director, it’s our fault.”

“They’re good at hiding and are very cunning. They number of people was also controlled to be small. It’s understandable that you weren’t on guard.”

Officer Yun pulled out the video recording in the cabin. When he saw Bai Jing and Si Qian’s teamwork, he paused and said with emotion, “It is thanks to the cooperation of the experts on the plane and the Director that we were able to subdue the two terrorists. She seems to be very familiar with Director?”

He did not dare to make a rash guess. Si Qian suddenly opened his eyes, narrowed them, and looked at him quietly.

Officer Yun was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained, “What I mean is that, from the looks of her skills, she is a rare talent! Whether it is in close combat or psychological warfare, she is very outstanding in controlling the situation. If we can recruit her, it will be a great help!”

“Right now, we also urgently need fresh blood from all aspects to fill the gap…”

Officer Yun watched Si Qian’s expression change. After a while, he calmly said, “I will consider it.”

“Send me to Ni Kun’s base…”

Si Qian’s fingertip was twirling a mica cufflink.

This was something that Bai Jing had dropped during the fight.

He put the item into his pocket, got into the SUV with a special license plate, and headed to the heart of the desert.

At a secret research base, Bai Jing checked the address and called out Ni Kun’s name.

“My friend!”

Ni Kun was wearing a helmet and mask, holding a welding torch, and wearing strange clothes. He ran over to greet her.

He sized Bai Jing up and asked uncertainly, “Are you… that genius God?”

“I’m here to pick up the mutated orchids.”

Bai Jing didn’t like the way he addressed her, so she directly expressed her purpose of coming.

This familiar cold attitude instantly dispelled Ni Kun’s doubts. He brought her to the greenhouse next door and pushed the door open. As soon as they entered, a wave of hot air assaulted their faces.

Seeing a few rows of orchids, Bai Jing curled the corners of her lips.

Ni Kun introduced them to her, “These are all varieties I’ve cultivated. These few plants have been exposed to nuclear radiation.”

“If you’re using them for the extracts and developing medicine, they’ll be more suitable…”

Ni Kun carefully took out the seedlings and transplanted them into a flower pot. Using the most advanced equipment, he simultaneously scanned its veins and meridians and said, “The amount of orchids that can be extracted from these few seedlings will be ten times or even more than that of ordinary mutated orchids!”

Ni Kun said proudly. Bai Jing looked at the data and it was indeed true.

“Thank you.”

With these few seedlings, she would be able to develop a medicine to treat Bai Chen, allowing him to regain a healthy life.

Bai Jing looked at Ni Kun with gratitude. To express her gratitude, she pointed at the heavy weapon in the work area, reminding him of the mistakes and problems that could easily occur during welding.

“You’re really a genius! Miss Bai, do you want to stay here? I can petition the Director for special approval for outstanding talents. As long as you’re willing to work for him, you can bring up any treatment you want! Whether it’s financial benefits or other requirements…”

Ni Kun tried to recruit her as a colleague.

However, Bai Jing was not interested. She just put away a few pots of orchid seedlings and said softly.

“Thank you. I still have things to do.”

She nodded, turned around and left, walking towards the gate of the base.

Ni Kun looked at her back with a regretful expression and muttered, “What a pity!”

Si Qian’s SUV drove right past Bai Jing. Si Qian was busy fiddling with his phone, reporting the details of the terrorist hijacking.

Bai Jing did not see him through the anti-prying glass.. They passed each other.
