Zhang Weidong could not be blamed for thinking that way. After all, all the surveillance cameras in Area 51 C were turned off by Sister Qiao in advance, and the spies around were also cleared by ghost leopard warriors, including the spies of the force behind Zhang Weidong.
Moreover, Joseph had been taken into the water space by Ding Ning. Thus, no one knew what had happened in the arena.
What happened in Area 51 was regarded as a great humiliation by the US, and the kidnapping of Ding Ning could not be spread.
The White House Garden of the world's most powerful country was bombed, and in the end, the US government had to choose to compromise, begging Ding Ning and the others to leave as if they were the plague. Such a thing was not glorious at all.
Therefore, the US government could only swallow it and even ordered to block all the news, so that the force behind Zhang Weidong did not know that Ding Ning was involved in the whole thing, and he was Dragon Teeth's father.
Of course, because of Joseph's live broadcast, Ding Lie's other identity, Shura, was exposed, causing the entire underground world to be in an uproar. The Dark Flower, who had been gradually forgotten as the number one on the Dark Flower List, became a delicious cake again. Countless mercenaries and killers began to hunt Shura in a frenzy for the huge bounty.
After all, the reason why Shura was able to stay at the top of the Dark Flower List for so long without anyone taking away his Dark Flower wasn't because he was invincible, but because his identity was too mysterious, and those bounty hunters couldn't find any trace of him.
But it was different now. Thanks to Joseph's live broadcast, and some people were secretly fanning the flames, the reward of the Dark Flower list had increased again, and it had reached an astonishing 1.5 billion Mi gold.
This price was enough to make all the bounty hunters crazy. The vigorous Shura hunting operation had swept the entire underground world. Even if Dragon Teeth had other ideas, he could not take care of himself now.
Of course, Zhang Weidong had also contributed to the increase of the reward of the Dark Flower list again. He had collected 200 million Mi gold to increase the reward, just to make Dragon Teeth die overseas. Only then would he really get rid of the trouble forever.
As for who put up the reward of 300 million Mi gold, Zhang Weidong did not know, but it could be seen that he was not the only one in this world who wanted Dragon Teeth dead.
In a split-second, countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Weidong's mind. He hesitated in his heart. How should he deal with those former members of the Dragon Soul?
In fact, he didn't care about those former members of Dragon Soul at all. He was satisfied that he used them to force Xiao Baiyu to voluntarily hand over the command of Dragon Soul and forced Dragon Teeth to go overseas.
Of course, he was also worried that once those former Dragon Soul members were killed, Dragon Fang would desperately return to reveal his crimes to him.
However, he was also worried. What if he let those Dragon Soul members go and Dragon Fang didn't keep his promise and suddenly came back?
This gave him a headache. He didn't know how to deal with those former members of the Dragon Soul. After all, those former members of the Dragon Soul had been secretly imprisoned by him. He had always suppressed them and didn't report them. If he didn't deal with them for a long time, once they were discovered, even he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
"Forget it. Once I'm done with the matters here, I'll ask Mr. Fox."
Zhang Weidong couldn't make a decision for a long time, so he simply didn't think too much about it. He would go back and ask Mr. Fox, the contact person of the force behind him, and listen to his opinion.
Although Mr. Fox was only the contact person of the mysterious force, his own wisdom, vision, layout, and means were all amazing. He could climb so quickly to the present position, which was indispensable without the guidance of Mr. Fox.
Ring, ring!
The red internal telephone in the command post rang in a hurry, which made the people who had different thoughts shiver. They knew that the higher-ups must have made a decision. How to deal with the matter in front of them would soon be revealed.
Logically speaking, although the Dragon King had no military position, he was designated by the higher-ups as the team leader of the temporary Combat Command Post. He should answer this call.
However, Zhang Weidong took the phone first, stood up subconsciously, and said respectfully, "Chairman Chang, this is Weidong. I'm reporting to you the situation on the scene."
Li Xingguo looked indignant and whispered for the Dragon King. He said that Zhang Weidong was too arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all. Why should he answer this phone? The Dragon King should be the team leader.
How could the Dragon King not know that he was taking the opportunity to put Zhang Weidong in a bad light? He wanted to provoke Zhang Weidong into a common enemy, so that he could join forces with him to deal with Zhang Weidong.
He immediately smiled noncommittally. Even without Li Xingguo's provocation, he was also at loggerheads with Zhang Weidong. It was just that before he had enough evidence, he couldn't fall out with Zhang Weidong for the time being.
On the other end of the phone, Chairman Chang was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhang Weidong to answer the phone. Although he was the deputy team leader of the temporary Combat Command Post, according to the rules, the Dragon King, as the team leader, should answer the phone to report.
He immediately guessed Zhang Weidong's attitude towards grandiose achievements. However, this was an important matter, and he didn't want to be calculative with him at this time. He said in a low voice, "Say it."
Zhang Weidong was delighted. From the noise coming from the other end of the phone, he knew that Chairman Chang must have turned on the hands-free, and the members of Congress next to him must have heard it. This was a good opportunity for him to show his face.
He immediately straightened up and reported in a sonorous voice, "Our temporary Combat Command Post is closely monitoring everything that happens on the Broken Soul Cliff, but because the suction is too strong, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft can't get close, so we can only investigate at high altitude. We can't find out what is making trouble under the cliff. The expert team is also making inferences and analysis according to the situation at the scene, but there is no conclusion for the time being. As for the strength of the suction, there is no sign of reduction so far, but the speed of the devouring has slowed down. It is estimated that it will take about... three hours for the devouring to reach our warning line..."
Zhang Weidong reported and gestured to the expert team. After getting the hint from the expert team, he answered affirmatively.
Chairman Chang didn't speak, and there was a silence on the phone. He should be covering the phone to communicate with the other chairmen. After a while, he asked, "Is there any sign of the devouring disappearing?"
"This..."
Zhang Weidong hesitated and didn't know how to answer. If he answered yes, then if the devouring force didn't disappear, he would have to bear the responsibility. But if he answered no, then if the devouring force suddenly disappeared, he would also have to bear the responsibility.
Thinking of this, he immediately replied, "Chairman Chang, please wait a moment. I will ask the opinion of the expert team. Maybe they can give an answer."
"Let Team Leader Song of the expert team answer the phone."
Chairman Chang didn't have the time to wait for Zhang Weidong to convey the message, so he gave an unquestionable order.
"Yes, Team Leader Song, please answer the phone. It's from Chairman Chang."
Zhang Weidong said politely to Team Leader Song, and the last few words were said while covering the phone.
Team Leader Song was a professor at Yan University, an authority on geology, ecological environment, and natural science. He had the arrogance of a scholar in his bones.
At the moment, he was busy analyzing the data of environmental changes through the most advanced detection equipment. He was not in the mood to answer some bullshit phone call. But when he heard it was Chairman Chang's phone call, he didn't dare to neglect it. He walked over reluctantly, took the phone, and said, "Chairman Chang, this is Song Wenxiang."
"Team Leader Song, according to the analysis of your expert team, is it possible that the strange devouring force will stop by itself?"
Chairman Chang's voice was much gentler. After all, these experts and professors were authoritative in academic fields and valuable talents of the country. Even he had to maintain a certain degree of respect.
"Stop by itself?"
Team Leader Song was slightly stunned, then he frowned and thought about this possibility.
Chairman Chang was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for his answer. Zhang Weidong had already reported that it should take three hours for the devouring force to reach the warning line. There was still plenty of time, so he didn't care about the time.
After all, even the Congress had not reached a consensus on whether to use unconventional weapons.
Whether it was because of Ding Ning or out of consideration of the damage to the ecological environment, they hoped to try not to use unconventional weapons to solve the problem unless it was a last resort.
"I can't be sure about this, but the devouring force is slowing down at present. I personally think it is possible that it will stop by itself, but it is only a possibility. No one can be sure of the final result."
Team Leader Song knew that his opinion was likely to influence the decision of the higher-ups, so he was extremely careful with his words.
"If, and I mean if, once this devouring force spreads to the town, will it drain people's vitality at once?"
Chairman Chang was not very disappointed with his ambiguous answer. After all, it was just a reference. He did not expect him to give a definite answer, so he changed his tone and asked a key question.
Team Leader Song could give a definite answer to this question. "No, according to the test data on the strength of this devouring force, it will take at least three to five minutes to drain the vitality of an adult. That is to say, as long as you can run out of the range of this devouring force within three minutes, you can still save your life."
When Speaker Chang heard this answer, he was a little relieved. "That's good. It seems that things have not reached the worst point. Thank you, Team Leader Song. On behalf of the country and the government, I thank all the comrades of the expert team. You have worked hard."
"Chairman Chang is too polite. This is what we should do."
Team Leader Song quickly expressed his gratitude humbly and then handed the microphone to Zhang Weidong, who was waiting on the side.
"Hello …"
Zhang Weidong had just taken the phone and said hello when he heard Chairman Chang's lukewarm voice. "Let Team Leader Long speak on the phone."
Zhang Weidong's smile instantly froze on his face. How could he not know that Chairman Chang had deliberately mentioned the words "Team Leader Long" to express his dissatisfaction with him for suppressing the prestige of the Dragon King without authorization? Zhang Weidong's face was extremely embarrassed. He angrily shouted to the Dragon King, who was engrossed in smoking, "Team Leader Long, answer the phone."
Li Xingguo looked at Zhang Weidong's defeated look and laughed silently. He felt so happy in his heart. It was as comfortable as eating a large bucket of ice cream in the hottest days of the year.
Zhang Weidong's face was so gloomy that it could drip water. After the Dragon King calmly took the phone, he calmly pulled a chair to the side of the conference table and sat down. He lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
However, he had sat at the head of the conference table as soon as he arrived. There was a suspicion that he did not take the Dragon King, the team leader, seriously. However, the Dragon King's attitude had always been calm, and he did not want to steal the limelight from him at all. This made everyone secretly despise the Dragon King, although they did not say it out loud.
But at this moment, Zhang Weidong took the initiative to sit at the side of the conference table in such a quiet way, giving up the head seat that he had occupied, and even called the Dragon King as Team Leader Long.
