Chapter 518 "The Ultimate Weapon"
What to do?
Their war gang never likes to kill people, but when faced with such a big issue, they have to kill even if they don't want to.
But... these guys are people Wenjie knows after all. If he really kills them, Wenjie will look indifferent on the surface, but he will be sad in fact, right?
"Ah!"
Langxie sighed softly and waved his hand weakly, "Just lock them up like this."
If they succeed in their actions... or fail, then the information these people have will naturally have no place to use, and it will not matter whether they leak the secrets or not.
"Got it, sir!"
Just after the order was given, a subordinate came over, "Sir, the leader said he wants to see you."
"Yeah." Langxie frowned slightly, knowing that things had reached the last step.
After all... this is not the first time that sir has come to them.
The first two times, they could still use the excuse that the "final weapon" was not ready and waited a little longer, but when the other party's attitude really became tough, they had no possibility of refusing.
After seeing a white-haired old man wearing a single eye mask and wrapped tightly in clothes in the dark room, only outlining the strong muscle lines, the wolf scorpion nodded and greeted, "Leader..."
"Well..." The old man with white hair and an old age had a strong voice, just talking about the core things calmly, "This is the third time they have come to us, and their patience has reached the end."
"But isn't the 'ultimate weapon' still not ready?" The wolf scorpion couldn't help asking.
This is not only an excuse for shirking responsibility, but also a fact.
The old man shook his head a little dejectedly, "They don't care whether our 'ultimate weapon' is ready, they just want us to make some trouble."
The financial backers behind them funded their development, naturally hoping to help them do something that they can't do openly at a critical moment.
And in order to ensure this control, they naturally have something in their hands that can destroy their entire war gang at any time.
In addition to obeying orders, they have no room for resistance.
And this time, the other party's meaning has been made very clear. They don't care how much results their war gang can achieve. What they want is just "a little movement."
In other words, the war gang is likely to be wiped out this time.
Only by surviving the "movement" and avoiding the hunting dogs after the end, the remaining war gang members can gain true freedom.
This is a catastrophe, and after crossing it, there will be a new life.
The leader knew all of this, but when he first accepted the other party's funding, he naturally had his own plans.
The other party only wanted "a little movement", but he wanted to make his own "bigger movement".
"The final weapon" is what he hopes to use to fulfill his ambitions.
But now... it still hasn't been completed before the destined moment arrives.
"I'm not willing to bury all the development of so many years at this moment..." The leader's old eyes were a little dazed, "In these last few days, I still want to try."
"How to try?" Wolf Scorpion asked immediately.
She is an orphan adopted and raised by the leader, and the leader is like her father to her.
The scar across her eye was left in a fight with a group of older kids who bullied her before she was adopted by the leader.
However, a 6-year-old girl was no match for six 14-15-year-old kids. She just relied on her desperate ruthlessness to grab and bite...
The leader's hair was not so white at that time, and he was wearing the most rudimentary prosthetic limbs. When he rescued her from the group of older kids, he just smiled and said to her in a miserable state, "You look like a wolf cub. How about following me in the future?"
It was already quite difficult to survive in the lower city.
She heard that many girls who were only a few years older than her had to learn to put on heavy makeup and receive guests to make a living.
She didn't want that, so she followed the leader.
She followed... for more than 20 years.
No matter what the leader wanted to do, she would try her best to help him complete it.
"I want Zhou Wenjie." The old man spoke calmly, his wise and old eyes staring at the wolf scorpion quietly, "I know that he is a very special person to you... But we have trained him for so long, and this final technical breakthrough may only be completed by him." He knew that the wolf scorpion did not want the kid named "Zhou Wenjie" to get in touch with the "ultimate weapon". In that case, even if their war gang was finally broken up, those hounds would not chase such insignificant peripheral personnel. But once you touch this thing, even if you don't die in the "movement", you can't escape the next pursuit. Do you really think that "technology is innocent"? Many things are threats when you know them. If he hadn't really had no other way, he wouldn't want to take this last step. But over the years, he has tried all the methods he can try. The researchers under him have also been studying the same thing with him since his youth until now, and every time they say that there has been new progress, and every time they say that they will be able to install and test it soon. However... the "ultimate weapon" has never really been able to run. Even though these old brothers have been working tirelessly to try to overcome the final obstacle recently, they have achieved nothing.
Perhaps only the little guy who is said to be an absolute genius in these technical fields can complete the final puzzle.
In the past, of course he would not have been so naive in placing his hope on one person, but in this situation...if he didn't believe in miracles, what else could he believe in?
"..." Wolf Scorpion bit his lower lip and said nothing.
After three to five minutes of silence, Wolf Scorpion smiled brightly and raised his head, "I'll call him over..."
"..." The old man sighed softly, "Thanks to you for all the hard work these years."
"It's not hard..." Wolf Scorpion stared at the wrinkles on the old man's face. Each one... she remembered the time it appeared, "This is the life I want!"
Leading Wenjie on the path leading to the secret room, Wolf Scorpion caressed the back of Wenjie's head with her palms. Walking beside her, she looked at Wenjie's soft hair, her eyes flashing softly, "Without me, you You can't survive in this city. After all, this is a place for people to eat people. If there is a next life, don't come here again. Now, let me take you with me... and die. ’
Zhou Wenjie met the real boss of the war gang for the first time.
He is an old man with an intimidating figure but a very kind face.
"I've heard about your deeds..." The old man looked at Zhou Wenjie and said with a smile, "Now there is a final technology in the organization that needs to overcome the final difficulty, and it requires a genius like you to try to solve it. Time is tight. , The task is heavy, I won’t force it.”
The old man who was speaking glanced at Wolf Scorpion who was standing next to Zhou Wenjie.
When things came to a head, he felt a little weak.
On one side is his commitment to those old brothers, on the other side is his "daughter's" happiness in the second half of her life.
If those old brothers could still talk, I really wanted to talk to them... what should I do.
But now no one can give him any advice. He can only look at this little guy that his "daughter" likes... What kind of person is he?
"Let me tell you the truth, this technology is not a good thing. Once you touch it, you will be hunted by the city in the future. I don't know what will happen. And we have been studying this technology for decades. It's not completely successful, even if you join... you may not be able to achieve any results."
Listening to these words, Wolf Scorpion moved his lips and wanted to speak out, but was stopped by the old man with a wave of his hand. His eyes just stared at Zhou Wenjie's face quietly, "So I want to ask Are you willing to join? If not... I will let the wolf scorpion take you away and don't come back again."
The resources outside the city may be a little more limited than in the city, and life is a little boring, but as long as you are careful, you will not lose your life.
With the abilities that Wolf Scorpion has honed over the years, they should be able to live a good life outside the city.
And I heard that the old brothers outside the city seem to be doing well recently. If you can't help it, taking refuge with them is also a way out.
Wolf Scorpion couldn't listen anymore and opened his mouth to retort, but he only heard another voice ringing in his ears first, "Of course I'm joining!"
Wenjie raised his hands with a look of great interest.
There are new techniques to learn!
The task that the adults assigned to themselves at that time was short of the last piece of knowledge/technology that they could not complete. Now that they finally have the opportunity to get in touch with new things, how could they miss it?
As if feeling the silence after he spoke, Wenjie glanced carefully at the face of the wolf scorpion beside him.
Is there anything wrong with what I said?
Why don't you both talk?
‘Are you really so happy? ’ The leader’s heart was full of weirdness, ‘Is there something I didn’t explain clearly? People will die...'
There can't be anyone who isn't afraid of death, right?
Even if these people in Xiacheng don't live like human beings, they are still trying their best to survive.
But after seeing the little guy glance at his "daughter", the leader realized.
It's like love!
The daughter likes him, and he also likes the daughter.
For his daughter, he is willing to do anything.
Even if we die together.
"Okay, okay!" The leader laughed with rare laughter, "Then it's settled, Wolf Scorpion, you take him to find Lao Qi and the others. I'll give you three days. After three days, before the 'action' begins, , take him out of the city and never come back! And don’t ask what happened to us in the end, we will have nothing to do with each other in three days!”
Whether it can happen or not depends entirely on God’s will.
As for whether the daughter and the boy can escape the pursuit of those hunting dogs in the end...it depends on their own luck.
Wolf Scorpion glanced at Zhou Wenjie with a frown, his eyes filled with joy and worry.
If "father" just asked her to join without talking about anything, it wouldn't make her mind waver.
And if Wenjie firmly refused, she might not force it.
But now...
Wolf Scorpion stretched out his right hand, grabbed the back of Wenjie's neck, and pushed him out with half intimacy and half annoyance, "Let's go! Go see your research!"
Wolf Scorpion's hands were cold, Wenjie just shrank his neck and protested in a low voice, "Just leave, why do you have to pinch me..."
"Not convinced?!"
"I'm convinced! I'm convinced~" Wenjie raised his face and just smiled, "Sister, I will listen to you, you have the final say."
…
The long-silent feedback information came back again, and Bai E was somewhat pleased to receive the information prompt from the panel.
In fact, after releasing some tasks to players recently, he has received a lot of feedback tips one after another, and now he has summarized them all together.
[Feedback from the commission, your insight +0.7, physical fitness +0.9, reflex +1.1, mystery +0.3, light weapons proficiency experience +350, light firearms proficiency experience +105, long-range weapon proficiency experience +437, combat proficiency experience + 115. Knowledge - Biological Master Brain Theory Experience +50. 】
It's just that this time, an additional knowledge and experience of "biological master brain theory" was added, which surprised Bai E a little.
This was the knowledge necessary for the blueprints of his mecha transformation plan 2.0. How could something he hadn't heard about in Helen suddenly appear in the mission feedback?
"..."
Of course, the feedback attribute of the task comes from the player who does the task, and among the players who do the task, there is only one person related to technology——
Wenjie!
Awesome!
"What's wrong?" Seeing the change in Bai E's face, Helen asked curiously.
"Nothing..." Bai E shook his head and stated his purpose of coming, "I came to you this time just to ask when the second genetic optimization solution can be injected?"
"The second genetic optimization fluid?" Helen raised her eyes slightly and looked at Bai E with a strange look in her eyes. "If I remember correctly, your first injection of genetic optimization fluid was not more than half a year ago, right?"
"Yes..." Bai E nodded, "I just want to ask what conditions need to be met for the second injection of genetic optimization fluid?"
"Injecting the second genetic optimization solution generally requires the effectiveness of the first genetic optimization solution to be completely absorbed and digested, and the optimization and transformation of the gene to be completely stabilized. This process does not take less than half a year. In fact, in the past In actual operation, we will only pay attention to the optimized body indicators of those who have been injected with the previous optimization solution for more than one year, let alone even if the actual attributes of the body are completely improved to the optimized body limit. It is not a simple thing, it means that one’s familiarity with oneself has reached the extreme. Although this is not a rigid indicator, it is also an important reference indicator in our clinical practice. "
Helen, who was speaking, glanced at Bai E's body, looking at the body exuding great vitality, with a little more curiosity in her eyes, "But... if it were you, I would also like to see you now. To what extent.”
This artificial man named Bai E has already created so many miracles, so it doesn’t seem like something unacceptable to break the convention of using genetic optimization fluid, right?
