1683 Fooling
Midwell also looked at Lu Yanlong.
He didn’t expect to finish repairing all three of the compressed magicite cannons. He only hoped that he could fool them for just one night.
“Can you do it?”
Lu Yanlong nodded and said, “Yes, the request is just to fool them. It’s not a big problem for us. We brought a portion of the precision parts in advance this time.”
The warehouse supervisor was pleasantly surprised and asked, “Really? Can the repair be completed within an hour?”
“We should be able to make it if we hurry.”
As Lu Yanlong spoke, he looked at Midwell and confirmed with him, “As for the remuneration?”
“Hurry up and do it, the reward will satisfy you! Our Obsidian Company has always been fair.”
Lu Yanlong felt that something was wrong when he heard this. The other party did not seem to have any self-awareness of his reputation outside.
He couldn’t help but look at Fang Heng.
Seeing Fang Heng nod his head, Lu Yanlong also nodded at the company’s maintenance supervisor.
“Start repairing.”
The Starfish Company was a professional mining company. The various missions they usually took on were mostly supportive. This included all kinds of high-end maintenance services. Its professionalism and after-sales service were widely praised by the industry.
This was also one of the reasons why the Obsidian Company sent a request to them for help.
After Starfish Company found out the model of the machine that needed to be repaired in advance, they spent a lot of money to buy some parts from the black market and brought them over.
Seeing that there was finally a turn of events, Midwell was finally at ease. He even felt a sense of relief that he had narrowly escaped death.
Fang Heng also knew about mechanical maintenance and occultism. However, he did not join the maintenance team this time. He just observed quietly from the side and did not say a word.
The entire warehouse was very quiet. Only the slight sound of parts colliding could be heard.
Starfish Company’s repairmen were all elites. After nearly an hour, the three compressed magicite cannons had been repaired.
The actual effect was unclear. At least on the surface, it didn’t look like it had been damaged.
“Good! All data indicators are normal!”
After the Obsidian logistics warehouse supervisor checked the data of the compressed magicite cannon, he was a little excited. He quickly reached out and called for the team to load the magicite cannon into the truck and bring it back to the federal camp.
“Quick, we have to send them back before the warehouse completes its stock-taking tonight!”
Hearing this, the people from the Obsidian Company began to move the compressed magicite cannons onto the trucks.
Seeing this, Lu Yanlong walked up to Midwell and asked, “Supervisor, regarding the energy beam weapons and ammunition we need…”
Midwell frowned, and his tone carried some doubt as he asked, “Energy beam weapons and ammunition? What is that?”
Fang Heng, who had been following Lu Yanlong all this while, suddenly had a change of expression when he heard that.
Lu Yanlong also had a bad premonition.
It wasn’t just a day or two that Obsidian Company had a bad reputation.
Was he going to go back on his words?
“Please don’t joke with us. You should remember our agreement. Starfish Company provides mechanical maintenance services to Obsidian Company and keeps it confidential. In exchange, Obsidian Company is willing to provide us with energy beam weapons and ammunition…”
“Alright, you don’t have to continue.”
Midwell waved his hand as if chasing away a fly and interrupted impatiently, “This is a matter of the upper echelons of our company. I’m not too sure. I only know that you will come over to assist us in repairs. As for this transaction, it’s best if you communicate with our headquarters.”
As Midwell spoke, he walked towards the players who were loading the trucks outside the warehouse.
“Wait a minute.”
Lu Yanlong was anxious. He wanted to chase after them and explain things clearly, but he was blocked by two players with loaded guns.
“I’m sorry, sir. Please stay here.”
Lu Yanlong’s face was ashen as he looked at Midwell’s departing figure, cursing madly in his heart.
Previously, that guy was so anxious that he jumped up and down like a dog. Now that the matter was resolved, he turned hostile and refused to pay for their services?
This was the first time he had encountered such a shameless thing and Lu Yanlong could not accept this.
It was no wonder that few people were willing to do business with the Obsidian Company.
The more Lu Yanlong thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn’t take this lying down.
Seeing Fang Heng walk to his side, Lu Yanlong felt a little apologetic. He lowered his voice and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Fang. I didn’t expect them to do this. We’ll find a way to contact the Obsidian Company offline.”
“It has nothing to do with you. I was the one who said I wanted to give it a try.” Fang Heng looked at the players from the Obsidian Company who were loading trucks outside the warehouse and shook his head. He said, “Looking at them, offline communication probably won’t be effective, and we’re in a hurry.”
Fang Heng was also a little angry.
Judging from Obsidian Company’s arrogant attitude, he did not have much hope for offline communication.
He was expecting the ammunition tomorrow and there was no time to argue with the Obsidian Company.
“Then, then we…”
Lu Yanlong’s face was bitter. He really couldn’t deal with such an unreasonable company like Obsidian Company.
Fang Heng already had an idea. He patted Lu Yanlong’s shoulder and said, “There’s no hurry. Let the maintenance staff rest here for a while. I’ll think of a way.”
…
The players from the Obsidian Company loaded the supplies and three compressed magicite cannons into the truck and immediately returned to the Federation headquarters.
Midwell sat in the front passenger seat of an off-road vehicle and led the way, urging the driver to move at full speed.
All he had to do was to return the magicite cannons to the camp’s warehouse intact!
He had finally settled his problem!
As for Starfish Company…
Thinking of Lu Yanlong and his team, Midwell couldn’t help but laugh.
Energy beam weapons and ammunition were products controlled by the Federation. How could they be traded to them so casually?
If Starfish Company only needed some ordinary materials, they would still consider it.
Unfortunately, the other party was too greedy…
This was not the first time that Obsidian Company had done something like this.
He was already used to it.
As Midwell was thinking, he realized that the SUV was gradually slowing down.
“What happened?”
The driver looked at the black shadow in front of him, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he stammered, “Supervisor, it seems like…”
Midwell was puzzled, and he couldn’t help but raise his head to look in front of the convoy.
What the hell!
Suddenly, Midwell’s pupils contracted, and his heart began to beat faster.
Not good!
Mutated creatures!
A group of mutated creatures suddenly appeared on the truck’s route to the Federation base!
How could this be…
Where did they come from?
Midwell was shocked.
This was an area protected by the Federation, a safe area that had been verified countless times. Theoretically, there should not be any monsters around.
“Buzz!…”
Before Midwell could figure out what had happened, a large swarm of mutated creatures flew toward the transport team!
The flying locust had undergone a special mutation and was about 20 centimeters in size.
The most terrifying thing was their numbers!
They were densely packed together like a thick black fog!
