"Research mission? Research requires the use of armed platforms? "
Hu Yuli felt that this was incomprehensible: "My boy, I know you came from the Deep Blue World. That's right. Things there are very straightforward. The Apocalypse Laboratory is a core organization. Everything revolves around the laboratory. But I'll still say the same thing. This is Xia City. The government and the military are the ones who make the rules. We are a company. We should use money and connections to solve problems. This is what we should do … … "
"It doesn't matter who makes the rules. The assessment department and the methods determine everything."
Yan Yongbo leaned back in his chair and interlaced his fingers: "You are responsible to the company's board of directors. You need to accomplish your revenue targets. I am responsible to the laboratory. I need to accomplish my deadlines. If you can't accomplish your goals, you step down and bow. But what if I can't accomplish my mission? I won't even have a place to stand … … This is where the difference between us lies. "
Hu Yuli took a deep breath: "My boy, we all know each other's difficulties. But weren't things going well before? Everything is progressing according to plan. The personnel and equipment are all ready. We just need to move them to Gear … … "
"This is an excavation mission. Its priority is just below research. I've seen your full cooperation these past few days, Director Hu. "
"Excavation? Research?"
In the end, Hu Yuli was a high level member of Quantum Corporation. He had been confused by the overly common title of research mission. But now that he heard Yan Yongbo emphasize it again, he suddenly understood:
"The research you speak of. Is it the Deep Blue Project or the bloodline project?"
Yan Yongbo raised his eyes to look at him: "What do you think?"
Hu Yuli knew that he was about to retire as a high level executive. It would be best if he didn't get too involved. He immediately took a deep breath: "Fine, fine. I was reckless this time. But my boy, no matter what the mission is, no matter how high the priority, there is nothing wrong with paying attention to a few methods. Right now, the company is very passive in Xia City because of this matter with the R&D district. The pressure on me is great. If I don't reverse this situation, many missions will be disturbed. Whether it's excavation or research … … Don't you think so? "
Yan Yongbo wasn't blindly arrogant. Seeing that Hu Yuli had completely admitted defeat, he stood up with a smile and had his secretary bring two cups of coffee.
"Director Hu, it is unfortunate that an accident occurred. But no one expected that the Human-Faced Arachnid would rebel, just like no one expected that it would be targeted. The Human-Faced Arachnid was Plan A. We were close to success when it was destroyed, but this was not the end. Gear was Plan B. We have done very well up until now.
"But the problem is that the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks. The highest priority has appeared, and we have to prioritize. Fortunately, this should only be a temporary mission. As long as everything goes smoothly, we will only be nervous for two days at most. It won't affect the implementation of Plan B … "
"I hope so."
Hu Yuli didn't wait for the cup of coffee. He didn't even need to drink it. Right now, his heart was filled with bitterness. He immediately said his goodbyes.
Yan Yongbo walked him to the door. When Hu Yuli was about to open the door, he hesitated for a moment. In the end, he could not help but turn around and say,
"Can you answer a question?"
"Please go ahead."
"I am very clear about the importance of excavating the Stargate. If we can control the Deep Blue World, we will completely change the course of human history. However, on what basis did that 'research' have to be prioritized over the 'stargate'? Is it because of its taboo? "
"This … … My instructor in the laboratory, Mr. Li Wei, once said, 'Everything can be delegated to mortals. Gods only need to control life.'"
Yan Yongbo spread his hands, "From his perspective, the research of life is the domain of Gods. Humans and Gods have different standpoints."
Madman.
Hu Yuli shot a cold glance at Yan Yongbo. He said no more and left with large strides.
In the lower levels of the DeShang Building, Crag Burst gradually calmed down as time went on. After muttering to himself for a moment, he suddenly proposed:
"I'll contact the Society."
"Huh?"
"There are dozens to a hundred people in the fighting arena. If he doesn't take Rui Wen away, she will be targeted once she awakens her ability. The possibility of her being an ability user trafficker is very high. According to what I know, many underground powers have similar mechanisms to nurture venomous insects … … They exhaust all methods to stimulate the potential of their targets, catalyze their awakening, and then sell them for money. Large companies and secret orders are all very good buyers. "
Crag Burst said coldly, "When it comes to this sort of thing, we can only see one and eliminate one. Right now, this is no longer a matter of investigating you. This matter will be handled by the Society … … Even if it's Quantum Corporation, if they can't give us an explanation, we'll beat the fuck up! "
But just as he made his decision, he smashed a fist into his palm: "The most important thing is still tracking … …"
Luo Nan was quite helpless as well. Actually, with the speed of his soul, he could lock onto Jack if he wholeheartedly focused on tracking him. But Crag Burst had been ambushed and pinned down, delaying him for such a long time. He might be able to catch up to the heavy truck, but Jack knew of the existence of the soul body. Would he just obediently stay in the truck and drive all the way out of the city?
Not to mention that Quantum Corporation had already directly made their move. After covering fire, it was time to provide support and move.
Xia City had a population of two hundred million. Hiding two people was far too easy.
"It would be great if Cat Eyes was here. With her psychic perception, as long as she made contact with Rui Wen, locking onto them from a distance of three hundred to five hundred kilometers is nothing difficult … … Oh right. Scout. Your all-encompassing perception is so awesome. Do you know what psychic perception is? Oh right. Aren't you a psychic? Why don't you try drawing a picture? "
Luo Nan didn't respond.
Crag Burst also knew that this was just wishful thinking. He clenched his teeth and said, "I'll contact the Society first. If we can't catch him, we'll have to hand him over … … In short, we can't let that bastard escape. I'm going to personally crush his skull."
Crag Burst raged as he contacted the Society.
Luo Nan thought for a bit, then his soul body bounced and returned to the fighting arena.
It was a mess here. The spectators were all retreating. There were still more than twenty unlucky people who had fainted or simply could not wake up. They also needed to be dealt with.
Jack left in a huff, causing the other people in charge to be badly battered.
Soon, the fighting arena was empty. There weren't many figures left. The altar that the Human-Faced Arachnid had built upon the negative emotions of the spectators had fallen into disarray.
But from another perspective, Luo Nan was here. The framework that supported the altar still existed. The rules of the sacrificial ritual continued.
The sacrificial process had yet to truly come to an end. Under the iron rule of winner takes all, as the final victor, Rui Wen had yet to completely withdraw or clearly renounce her rightful rights.
The Human-Faced Arachnid had taken advantage of the Greatmaw Basilisk's disruption to divert the disaster to someone else.
But all the spectators present were sacrificial offerings. They were targets to be harvested. There was still a connection between her and these sacrificial offerings. There was still a connection between her and the altar framework.
Luo Nan could clearly sense this.
