Luo Lan went to the bench next to Zhou Xilong and sat down happily. Meanwhile, the rest of his followers spread out and stood guard around them.
Just when Zhou Xilong thought that Zhou Qi, who was behind Luo Lan, would stand behind Luo Lan like his bodyguard, Zhou Qi actually casually asked Luo Lan to sit in the middle and made room for him.
What surprised Zhou Xilong even more was that Luo Lan actually made room for Zhou Qi.
In an instant, the three of them squeezed onto the bench, and it was as weird as it could get. Luo Lan's body size almost squeezed Zhou Xilong onto the ground!
Zhou Qi continued to close his eyes to catch up on his sleep. "You guys chat."
Luo Lan laughed out loud. "This is the former secretary of the Kyung Clan's Board, Zhou Qi."
Zhou Xilong smiled and said, "We're brothers from the same clan. May I know why you've come to the Central Plains this time, Boss Luo?"
"Nothing much." Luo Lan said with a smile, "It's mainly because there are some people in this world who are born to be friends. I'm here to make friends!"
"Although the Zhou Clan and the Kyung Clan are very close to each other, there's a mountain range between them, so we can't see each other. So, why would the elder brother of the Kyung Clan's clan leader come to make friends with the Zhou Clan?" Zhou Xilong did not comment on it.
Luo Lan smiled and said, "I'm not here to make friends with the Zhou Clan. I'm here to make friends with you, Zhou Xilong."
"Oh?"
"I've always been a straightforward person." Luo Lan said with a smile, "I heard that your branch of the Zhou Clan supports the research and development of nuclear weapons, but you can't win against the conservative Zhou Shiji. So, I'm here to lend you a hand."
"What kind of help?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. I want to know why Brother Zhou supports the development of nuclear weapons." Luo Lan said, "As far as I know, there hasn't been any war in the Central Plains for more than a decade. In the north, the Wang Clan consortium is very kind to the people, the Qinghe Group is content to stay in their corner, and the Kong Clan consortium is very far away from you. Who is Brother Zhou trying to attack by developing nuclear weapons?"
Zhou Xilong said calmly, "Do you have to use it to beat people up? It's good to build a nuclear power plant."
"Hehe," Luo Lan laughed and said, "Actually, I know what you're thinking, and I also know who the enemy in your heart is. In this aspect, we have the same goal."
Zhou Xilong didn't respond. Instead, he asked, "Does the Kyung Clan really have a nuclear base? I heard that even the Saboteurs haven't found it yet."
"Yes." Luo Lan smiled and said, "Of course!"
"Then why didn't it work against the Li Clan and the Yang Clan?" Zhou Xilong asked.
"This …" Luo Lan said awkwardly.
"Even if they had some reservations against those two clans, why didn't they use it against the Experimentals?"
Luo Lan did not say anything.
Zhou Xilong laughed heartily. "Is that really the case?"
This had always been the question that the Central Plains consortiums had. Had the Kyung Clan succeeded in developing nuclear weapons? Had they really done so already, or were they just lying so that no one would dare to target them?!
This doubt stemmed from two points. On the one hand, the Saboteurs hadn't found the Kyung Clan's nuclear base yet.
As a matter of fact, the Saboteurs had already destroyed a handful of nuclear test sites in the Central Plains in recent years and killed at least eight if not 10 extremist scientists. For a while, everyone was feeling insecure. Now, no one dared to openly declare that they wanted to develop nuclear weapons. But Zhou Xilong still had a group of bodyguards with him every day and was even spending a lot of money to recruit supernatural beings.
So if the Saboteurs couldn't find the nuclear base, did that mean the Kyung Clan was deliberately trying to confuse everyone?
On the other hand, everyone knew about the Kyung Clan's war in the Southwest. But in this war, the Kyung Clan didn't even use their heavy tactical ballistic missiles. Since they had them, why didn't they use them?
Luo Lan said in a serious tone, "When I was in the Southwest, I personally used the particle flow produced by nuclear fusion to cross an astronomical distance and kill hundreds of millions of bugs."
Zhou Xilong suddenly felt it was awesome. "Was it during the bug tide?"
Next to him, Zhou Qi finally opened his eyes. "Isn't it just drying a blanket? That's a joke from before The Cataclysm. How many times do you want to repeat it?"
Zhou Xilong was speechless.
…
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu, who was 1.8 kilometers away, was leading Zhou Yingxue up a tall building.
Before entering the building, Ren Xiaosu looked at the pedestrians outside and paused for a moment. However, he did not say anything.
When they arrived at the rooftop, Ren Xiaosu chose the best observation spot and silently looked into the park with his spotting scope.
As the high ground was too far away, Zhou Xilong's subordinates did not manage to monitor it at all.
It seemed like they also felt that there were very few snipers in the world who could shoot from such a long distance. The few snipers who could do this would not easily target Zhou Xilong. After all, Zhou Xilong was not the person in charge of the Zhou Clan.
Zhou Yingxue munched on melon seeds at the side and asked curiously, "What did you see? Let me take a look too."
As she spoke, she carefully put away the melon seed shells into a small bag to prevent them from being picked up by others and added to the DNA database.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly put down his spotting scope. Although he was far away, he might not be able to recognize other people, but given Luo Lan's build, how could he not recognize him?
But why had this fatty suddenly come to the Central Plains? And why was he together with the mission target, Zhou Xilong?
So when Wu Tong said that Zhou Xilong had arranged to meet a very important person today, it turned out that he was referring to Luo Lan!
Wait a minute, the mission text mentioned that Zhou Xilong advocated the development of nuclear weapons. That seemed to have something to do with Luo Lan.
At this moment, Wu Tong and the others were strolling around Liberation Park. However, they did not enter the park as planned. Ren Xiaosu put down his spotting scope and set up his sniper rifle again.
Zhou Xilong was within his shooting range. If he opened fire at this moment, Ren Xiaosu was still confident he could hit Zhou Xilong.
This was why the various consortiums were very annoyed by snipers from hostile organizations. It was really impossible to guard against them.
The role of a sniper on the battlefield was not that sinister. But when it came to a decapitation operation, snipers were existences that even supernatural beings had to be wary of. After all, even supernatural beings would not be able to withstand a shot from a sniper who was caught off guard.
But if he were to open fire, what would happen to Luo Lan? Wouldn't he be captured by the Zhou Clan at any moment?
Luo Lan would definitely be fine. After all, the Kyung Clan was not a force to be trifled with in the Southwest. Without anyone noticing, the Kyung Clan had become the most powerful force in the entire Barrier Alliance.
But it was certain that the other party would lock up Luo Lan.
Zhou Yingxue munched on some melon seeds and asked curiously, "Are there no conditions for me to open fire?"
"Yes." Ren Xiaosu said, "But the person next to Zhou Xilong is my friend."
Zhou Yingxue was taken aback. "So you're giving up on the mission?"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Ren Xiaosu pressing his face against the scope and starting to seriously correct the trajectory of the bullet.
The melon seeds in Zhou Yingxue's mouth fell to the ground. Was this really a friend?
So which was more important, friends or the mission?
Ren Xiaosu had already made his decision. Money was more important.
Moreover, he still had a follow-up plan.
