Bai Qi had failed so many experiments that he was on the verge of losing his mind. He would definitely want to try a new approach.
And a new experiment would very likely require some rarely used reagents he lacked.
Besides, when Xiao Jiang had spoken to Bai Qi about firearms shortly after five, Bai Qi had insisted Zhao Xun come back two hours later, even though he could have fetched them in ten minutes.
Bai Qi had probably spent that time compiling a list of the reagents he was missing.
See? He had even printed out a list.
"You can find all these reagents on basement level two." Bai Qi stared intently at Zhao Xun. "Can you get them to me before noon?"
"That won't be easy," Zhao Xun said, putting on a troubled expression. "There are thousands upon thousands of Zombies in the Experimental Base. With the few bullets you're giving me, I'll be lucky to get out unscathed. And you want me to find all these reagents and deliver them before noon..."
Zhao Xun left the rest unsaid, but his eyes clearly conveyed, You're dreaming.
Bai Qi looked displeased. After a moment's hesitation, he said to Zhao Xun, "I can give you a few more grenades..."
"How many can you give me?" Zhao Xun interrupted. "Or rather, how many do you have altogether?"
"You want all of them?" Bai Qi's expression darkened. "Don't get too greedy."
"Or you could consider going to the Experimental Base yourself?" Zhao Xun suggested with a warm, friendly smile.
The chance to take advantage of the situation was right in front of him. If he didn't demand an outrageous price, he would almost seem like a decent person.
In fact, given Bai Qi's current condition, he could go to the Experimental Base
