The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Chapter 38)
The collapsed underground was the result of a deal made between Sister Man and Song Ning.
Liang Anlin clearly knew more about this than Song Ning. He led the man and the leopard to a nearby spot, where Song Ning discovered that there was actually a decent-looking little bar. He even received a small glass of strong liquor from Liang Anlin.
Liang Anlin raised his glass, took a sip, and got straight to the point.
"Captain Man must have traded qualifications with you for the underground collapse, right? So, Boss Song, would you be interested in bringing along this Leopard Master beside you? And also your nice little cart, to cooperate with us in going underground?"
Direct and decisive, the opponent's move was completely unexpected by Song Ning.
But Song Ning wouldn't miss any information he needed to know. "Boss Liang is a smart man. So you've exchanged the access to the collapsed underground, but I don't think there's any need for cooperation. Wouldn't it be better if everyone searched for supplies on their own?"
Song Ning's meaning was very clear: just because you guessed the details of my deal doesn't mean I have to cooperate with you.
Moreover, Song Ning himself prefers to act on his own. Although he doesn't know how dangerous the place is, with Big Cat by his side, he doesn't need to worry too much.
In contrast, collaborating with unfamiliar people makes him feel insecure.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Liang Anlin's eyes. Even in the apocalypse, people as composed as Song Ning were rare. Only those who could remain calm could achieve great things and were suitable to cooperate with them to explore the collapsed underground.
"Mr. Song, please don't be in a hurry. I am very sincere in discussing this cooperation with you."
Liang Anlin took another sip of wine and exhaled a puff of white breath before discussing some details with Song Ning.
The collapsed underground area is a good place discovered by the base. It is not close to the base, the place is remote and extremely dilapidated, and the roads are full of potholes and difficult to walk on, so few people have ever gone there.
The base has always had a habit of exploring the outside world, after all, no one can ever have too much supplies.
That area wasn't initially within the scope of the exploration. It was only by chance that a member of the exploration team, feeling too cold, couldn't resist taking a sip of alcohol and accidentally fell in. That's when it was discovered that an earthquake had occurred in that area, and the original city seemed to have been flipped over and buried underground by the force of the earthquake.
"These people at the base are quite honest. I guess they're short-handed and lack supplies, so they're trading this entry qualification for a week's worth of exploration time. I think it's pretty honest and a good deal for us too."
Liang Anlin's words were a clear indication that he was playing his cards right, openly telling Song Ning that he had also obtained the qualification to enter the underground world and knew a lot of information that Song Ning did not know.
Song Ning pondered for a moment, "Boss Liang, I haven't figured out what benefits our cooperation would bring you."
Since the other party was being so honest, he wouldn't hide anything from them either.
Cooperation always implies that both parties have something to gain. If Liang Anlin had no ulterior motives towards them, then he really wouldn't dare to accept this cooperation.
Liang Anlin understood that he was speaking frankly and openly.
"It's very simple. First, we value the fighting ability of the Leopard Lord beside you. We humans are not as perceptive as animals. After all, that place has collapsed before. If it collapses again, with the Leopard Lord by our side, we might be able to sense the danger and retreat faster."
Song Ning expressed his understanding, after all, animals are indeed much more sensitive to disasters, whether before or after the apocalypse.
"That's one thing, but what about a second and a third?"
he asked.
A younger man standing next to Liang Anlin couldn't help but say, "I'm telling you, Mr. Song, you're too indecisive and indecisive. If we tell you this and you don't cooperate with us later, won't you be selling out all our secrets?"
Song Ning didn't care much about these words. He looked at Liang Anlin, who could only sigh inwardly when he saw that Song Ning was unmoved. It seemed that this Boss Song was really good at keeping his composure. It seemed that trying to provoke him into agreeing to cooperate in advance was out of the question.
Since things had come to this, Liang Anlin had no choice but to show his full sincerity. "Secondly, we didn't just pick people randomly. As far as we know, almost every single one of those guys from earlier will go. When we find any supplies, we have to be quick and ruthless. Relying on manpower alone is definitely not as fast as using tools."
He glanced at the cart, his meaning clear.
"With tools to help, it will be much faster. We won't use your things for nothing, Mr. Song. When we get underground, I'll have a small team dedicated to transporting supplies. We'll provide the labor to transport what you find out for free, Mr. Song. How about that?"
Now Song Ning roughly understood that Liang Anlin and the others really wanted to cooperate with him seriously.
As for how the cart could be used underground, or whether the roads were smooth, he didn't care. Since the other party had mentioned having a dedicated transport team, those would probably be their problems to consider later.
Song Ning and Liang Anlin discussed the details for a long time, until the heat from that glass of strong liquor had completely dissipated, before they finalized the details of their collaboration.
As part of the cooperation, Song Ning, Da Mao, and Liang Anlin's search team will set off underground together. Whatever supplies they find underground, Song Ning will take 10%, while Liang Anlin and his team will take 90%. In addition, Liang Anlin and his team will be responsible for quickly moving and sorting out all the supplies and delivering them to Song Ning. The trolley will be used by Liang Anlin and his team during this period.
While they were underground, Liang Anlin was responsible for all the supplies, such as lighting and food. In return, Big Cat was required to act as the vanguard to scout for danger and notify them immediately if any potential disasters were detected.
Both parties were satisfied with the cooperation, and in the end, they invited Sister Man to act as a notary to reach a cooperation agreement.
However, before finalizing the cooperation, Song Ning couldn't help but ask, "A 10% share is quite a lot. Why is Boss Liang so generous as to provide so many supplies to cooperate with me?"
He still couldn't understand this point.
Seeing that he was still confused, Liang Anlin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"This is just a personal hobby of mine. I'm a bit into metaphysics."
Song Ning was completely baffled. Metaphysics?
Liang Anlin patted him on the shoulder and gestured for him to look at the black panther beside him.
"Boss Song, not only do you have such a fierce beast by your side, but you can also find such good stuff as honeycomb briquettes. I, Lao Liang, have a feeling that cooperating with you will definitely not be a loss. You are a person with great luck. Maybe we will be the ones who benefit the most in the end."
