Chapter 160 Partnership
Ever since Zhou Tianhai followed Wang Jinlong into the reception room, Song Chen had been sizing him up secretly.
This man has an upright and resolute face and the simplest hairstyle. He looks like a very ordinary man, but there is a deep feeling between his eyebrows. He seems to be about the same age as Wang Jinlong, but he looks more vicissitudes of life.
Since it was Wang Jinlong who brought him here personally, Song Chen would certainly not deny him face. He also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Zhou Tianhai's hand gently.
During the handshake, Song Chen felt the thick calluses on Zhou Tianhai's hands, as well as the small wounds that were obviously recent injuries and had not yet fully healed.
It seems that the man in front of me is not as simple as he appears.
"sit down."
Song Chen asked Zhou Tianhai to sit opposite him along with Wang Jinlong, and then also handed him a cup of tea.
Zhou Tianhai felt a little thirsty for a long time, so he picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp, making Wang Jinlong, who was sitting next to him, sigh repeatedly.
What a waste of natural resources!
Giving such good tea to a layman like Zhou Tianhai who can't taste the difference is simply a waste!
However, even though Zhou Tianhai didn't know much about tea, he could still taste the cup of tea that Song Chen handed over. The taste was somewhat different from other ordinary tea.
"Thank you Brother Song for your hospitality."
"You're welcome." Song Chen waved his hands indifferently, "I just don't know why you two came here today?"
Zhou Tianhai wasn't one to mince words. When Song Chen asked him about it, he spoke directly.
"It's like this. I heard from Wang Jinlong that Brother Song had reached a cooperative relationship with him. After he was targeted by other survivor teams, Brother Song also stepped in to help, so he also wanted to get to know Brother Song."
After speaking, Zhou Tianhai waved to the companion he brought behind him, who immediately opened the box he was carrying and placed it in front of Song Chen.
Song Chen lowered his eyebrows and took a look, and found that the box contained crystal nuclei.
"This is……"
Zhou Tianhai smiled and explained: "I wanted to bring some greeting gifts before I came, but I heard Wang Jinlong said that Brother Song's place is not short of anything. After thinking about it, these are the only things left at my place. It works, I wonder if Brother Song is satisfied with it?"
Song Chen looked at the box that was as big as a small suitcase in front of him and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
"Of course I'm satisfied, Mr. Zhou took the trouble."
There are roughly three to five hundred crystal nuclei contained in this box, and they are not small in size. Most of them are Level 2 and above.
Although there are Level 2 zombies all over the place now, Zhou Tianhai may have given these crystal nuclei as a meeting gift to Song Chen, so Zhou Tianhai could be considered a ruthless spender.
But as the saying goes, no reward comes without merit.
Zhou Tianhai was willing to give so many crystal cores to Song Chen, there must be other things that he had not said.
Song Chen raised his hand to close the box, looked at Zhou Tianhai and asked, "Mr. Zhou found Brother Wang to set up a call, and specially prepared a meeting gift. It must be more than just wanting to get to know Song, right?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Song!"
Zhou Tianhai laughed twice, then straightened his expression and said: "I came here mainly to establish a cooperative relationship with Brother Song. If my Tianhai base encounters trouble in the future, I hope you can help me. Of course, if you need me, Brother Song can just ask, as long as I, Zhou, can do it, I will definitely do it!"
In fact, Zhou Tianhai came here specially two days ago, but he didn't know about Song Chen at that time and just came to look for Wang Jinlong.
But when he finally found Wang Jinlong and confidently offered to let Wang Jinlong serve as the deputy base commander of Tianhai Base in exchange for Wang Jinlong taking the entire team to join Tianhai Base, he was decisively rejected by Wang Jinlong.
Faced with Zhou Tianhai's unwillingness to stalk him, Wang Jinlong had no choice but to tell him that he had cooperated with Song Chen's Chenxi Base. By the way, he also told Song Chen about helping him repel Li Lin and successfully resisting the zombie tide. Say it all.
In short, he told Zhou Tianhai that Song Chen himself was strong, the base was stronger, and he was kind to Wang Jinlong. No matter what Zhou Tianhai said, he would never betray Song Chen and join the Tianhai base.
After listening to Wang Jinlong's retelling, Zhou Tianhai's first reaction was disbelief.
He had heard of the names of Li Lin and the Creation Team. Even though he was in the eastern suburbs, he had also heard of the brutal deeds of this team. Li Lin, who he was not sure he could defeat in a single fight, was defeated by Song Chen in a matter of seconds. Already?
How does he accept this?
Especially the zombie attack on the city is like a scene that only appears in novels and movies. They have already encountered it?
And not only did he encounter it, he also successfully fought off the zombie wave and survived.
This series of information was beyond Zhou Tianhai's cognition.
However, Zhou Tianhai also knew that Wang Jinlong could not tell lies about this matter, so he had the idea to see with his own eyes how powerful Song Chen really was.
Following Wang Jinlong's hint, he deliberately returned to the base to prepare a large number of crystal nuclei.
Crystal cores are hard currency in the apocalypse. Even though he has established a Tianhai base, it will inevitably feel painful to take out so many crystal cores in one go.
He even thought that if he saw Song Chen and found out that Song Chen and Chenxi's base were just a showpiece, he would take back these crystal cores even if they were forced to rob them.
But the fact is.
When he saw Song Chen for the first time, he knew that this person was definitely extraordinary.
At this time, he was willing to give away the crystal core, and he was even worried that Song Chen would be dissatisfied and unwilling to accept it.
Song Chen looked at Zhou Tianhai deeply, but did not express his opinion immediately.
Wang Jinlong also persuaded him: "Brother Song, Zhou Tianhai is also a superpower. He has awakened the wind superpower. Now his level has reached level 4. I also know a little about the situation of Tianhai Base. The number of members in the base has almost reached 500. It is one of the bases with the largest number of survivors in North City."
He understood what Song Chen cared about, and did not care about Zhou Tianhai sitting next to him. He told all the information he knew without reservation.
In short, in his opinion, there is no harm in the cooperation between Chenxi Base and Tianhai Base.
On the contrary, Tianhai Base has a larger population, and there may be a time when it can help Chenxi Base.
Song Chen naturally heard the implication of Wang Jinlong.
However, in his opinion, no matter how many survivors there are in the base, it can only attract more zombies.
Only when the members of the base are strong in combat and have many high-level superpowers can it be regarded as a top base.
But considering Zhou Tianhai's gift of so many crystal cores, Song Chen thought for a moment and nodded.
"Please take care of me in the future, Mr. Zhou."
