Of course, they also had to test whether the Dripping Lotus was as magical as Ren Yuanyang claimed.
"Alright, I’ll arrange for a team to head over. Brother Yang, are you coming with them this time?" Wang Jun asked casually.
Ren Yuanyang replied, "Yes. With so many seeds, I have to come and see for myself!"
Wang Jun was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected Ren Yuanyang to come in person again!
He pondered for a moment before replying, "You’ve already met me and Captain Long last time. I’ll have Captain Ji go this time. He’s told me several times that he’s eager to meet you!"
"Sure. It’s a good chance to get familiar with each other. It’ll make it easier to pull some strings if I need something in the future!" Ren Yuanyang replied with a laugh.
"You’re too kind, Brother Yang. Right now, our base is the one relying on you," Wang Jun said, shaking his head slightly.
"It’s not about who’s relying on whom. We’re all helping each other out," Ren Yuanyang replied.
"Alright, we’re heading out now. See you at the trade point!" Wang Jun replied, then immediately contacted Ji Yizhi.
"Old Ji, hurry! Get ready and go with our fleet to make the trade!"
Hearing the urgency in Wang Jun’s voice over the phone, Ji Yizhi was stunned. "I’m going with them to make the trade?"
"Yes. Taoyuan Yang is coming with his team this time, so it’s a good chance for you to meet him," Wang Jun confirmed with a nod.
Ji Yizhi was stunned again, then immediately replied, "Alright, I’m on my way!"
He hurried to where the trade fleet was gathered. Wang Jun was already there waiting for him.
"Be on your best behavior this time. Don’t try to probe Taoyuan Yang," Wang Jun couldn’t help but advise.
Ji Yizhi replied with a smile, "Don’t worry, Old Wang! If this were before, I might have actually tried to probe him. But now, I’ve put myself and the Aircraft Carrier Base in our proper place."
"Good. For now, just focus on staying on good terms with Taoyuan Yang. No need for any other clever ideas," Wang Jun said with a nod.
"Understood. We’re setting off. If anything comes up, let’s stay in touch by phone!" Ji Yizhi said as he boarded a speedboat.
The Aircraft Carrier Base also dispatched four speedboats. Three were filled with seeds, and the fourth was an escort vessel!
The four speedboats sped towards their destination.
Ji Yizhi found himself feeling a little expectant!
Back at the Aircraft Carrier Base, the head of the Logistics Department rushed to find Wang Jun.
"Captain, our purified water reserves are almost gone! At most, we can last until tomorrow night!" The Logistics head’s brow was furrowed. "Should we keep distributing purified water like this? We might not have enough for our own people!"
"If we can last until tomorrow night, that’s enough," Wang Jun said in a low voice.
The Logistics head was stunned. "Enough? Is the toxin going to disappear by tomorrow night?"
Wang Jun shook his head. "The toxin won’t necessarily disappear, but by tomorrow night, we’ll have a continuous supply of purified water! And if all goes well, maybe even sooner."
The Logistics head looked completely bewildered. "Did we procure more advanced water purification equipment?"
"That’s classified for now. Let’s see if any other ghouls and goblins decide to show themselves," Wang Jun replied with a smile.
Although he didn’t know what solution Wang Jun had for the water shortage, seeing his captain’s calm and composed demeanor helped the Logistics head’s frantic heart settle down.
"When you’re able to announce the solution, please tell me at the first opportunity!" the Logistics head pleaded.
"Alright. Tell everyone to hold on a little longer," Wang Jun said with a slight nod.
"Yes, sir!" The Logistics head turned and left.
Wang Jun stared out the window at the curtain of rain. ’Taoyuan Yang, your base’s Dripping Lotus had better not let us down!’
