Chapter 103: Compromise
Qin Nanyi’s words not only failed to have an effect, but they further cemented their resolve.
Professor Ke looked at the research members beside him and confidently said, "We are the core members of the cooperation project between Beicheng Base and Yunan Base. Without us, this project simply cannot move forward. The mission of these people who came here is to rescue us, and they will not leave without us, returning empty-handed."
Upon hearing his words, Hong Yun found it both funny and frustrating, "Professor Ke, I’m afraid I should introduce you to Mr. Han, who is not a member of the base’s forces. These few people were asked by General Ji to help, and the highest command of this mission is in his hands."
Hong Yun wanted them to understand that Han Yi’s people were not soldiers and would not be prepared to sacrifice everything just to complete a certain mission.
Yan Xiao also laughed strangely and deliberately raised her voice, "Brother Han, let’s hurry up and go. Bringing these people is a burden. After all, the base asked us to rescue people but did not specify which ones to save."
Professor Ke’s face turned sour, and he looked hesitantly at Hong Yun, "If they don’t take us, what about your people?"
Hong Yun replied with some difficulty, "Professor Ke, the highest command of this operation is in Mr. Han’s hands, and indeed... our mission didn’t specify a full rescue for everyone."
In fact, the base even assumed that this group of scientists were mostly already dead, holding the mentality of saving whoever they could when sending them out. After all, in the current environment, having a group of researchers would be of tremendous help to the base and extremely significant for the future construction and development.
Professor Ke fell silent, and upon seeing him wavering, Qin Nanyi continued to persuade him.
Han Yi, who couldn’t be bothered with these obstinate scientists anymore, pulled Han Jiaojiao away from Hong Yun and calmly instructed everyone on what to do next.
