Robert: You old bastard, just you wait, you're going to hell soon.
After those people had left, Demulan stopped Rometheus and asked:
"It's been two months, and there's still no word from [Zero]."
Rometheus scratched his head awkwardly:
"Oh dear, haven't I already sent out my Blue Eagle team to search with all their might? I even specially arranged for someone to help you find the little boy you're looking for. If you keep urging me, I won't help you look for him."
Demulan remained silent and quietly took out the Polaris sword he always carried with him.
"Hey, hey, let's talk this out! I'm really doing my best to find them! Hey, hey, hey, murder!!!"
Chapter 195 Mandel Supercomputing Unit
Once Audrey returned to her private estate, she immediately hurried to her room. Earlier that day, when she went to prepare for the meeting, Wuming had promised to bring the Mandel supercomputing unit. Now that the meeting was over, Richard should have gone home, and if she didn't see him later…
When she hurriedly arrived at her room door, she took a deep breath and pushed it open.
"What are you so nervous about? Your heart is beating so fast!"
To her relief, the man she had previously wished would just die suddenly was still lying on her big bed reading a book, looking like an old man.
"What about the Mandel supercomputing unit? Did you leave any trace of it?"
The nameless finger pointed to Audrey's desk where she usually worked. Audrey turned her head and her eyes lit up immediately. There was no mistake. As a senior executive of the group, she had seen the Mandel supercomputing unit before. This must be it.
"As for the traces, don't worry. The one who did the bad thing is Nameless, not you, Audrey. Just don't be stupid enough to go and self-destruct with Richard."
Audrey thought about it carefully and realized that this made sense. This way, Richard would focus all his energy on finding the nameless woman instead of starting to suspect whether she or Robert was responsible, which would buy her a lot of time.
"I'll contact Reis right now and have him come and get the Mandel supercomputing unit. I hope everything goes smoothly. By the way, when are you going to give me the antidote? I can feel some discomfort in my body now."
At this point, Audrey frowned as she looked at the nameless man. This poison was no joke; she had already experienced dizziness and nausea over the past two days, which terrified her, as she always valued her life.
"What's the rush? I'll give you the antidote once Skynet is destroyed, as long as you behave yourself and don't do anything underhanded in the meantime."
Without even looking up, Wuming pulled a small green bottle from his pocket and waved it in front of Audrey, who stared intently at the bottle in his hand.
She had tried various methods, including consulting Hafk's private doctor for a comprehensive medical examination, hoping to find an antidote. However, after the examination, the doctor told her that the virus was a newly developed biological virus by the Hafk Group and had not yet been officially released.
Audrey thought that this was probably something Nameless had picked up in the lab when he escaped the Hafk Group. After all, the Hafk Group had been researching a lot of biological weapons behind the scenes, and she never expected that she would fall victim to it herself.
But now that she saw the nameless man also bring out the antidote, Audrey felt a little relieved. She didn't want to die in Asara, a poor place filled with endless yellow sand.
Saeed: You shameless bastards! We used to have an oasis here. It was you, you damned Hafk!
Audrey also went out to make a phone call to Reese. She just hoped that all of this would end soon, and once she got her hands on the antidote, it would be time for her to start making her move.
After seeing Audrey leave, Nameless scoffed mockingly, "A hopeless case! Desire can completely devour you, leaving not even a bone fragment..."
After tossing the book aside, Wuming took out the laptop from the bedside table, opened it, and skillfully logged into Audrey's account to look at recent events.
"Huh? One of Rometheus's test subjects escaped from the Tower of Babel three months ago? And they haven't been found yet?"
At this point, a document that Audrey had kept long ago, a report to Jacob, caught the attention of the anonymous writer.
He immediately began collecting information about the escaped test subject. As a fellow test subject of the Hafk Group, and also an escapee, Wuming unconsciously developed a sense of sympathy for this person.
"Is the code name [Zero]? Jacob asked Rometheus to create a human-powered weapon of war, but Rometheus's request to add an emotion module was rejected? Heh, that's really the usual style of those beasts."
After briefly reviewing the basic information of this "Zero," Wuming gained a basic understanding of him. This kid was just as unfortunate as himself. However, he ran away before the Relink brain-computer interface was installed. Wuming certainly wouldn't believe that this wasn't Rometheus's doing. Without Rometheus's secret help, could he have escaped from the heavily guarded Tower of Babel?
Rometheus: Huh? I don't know? But how dare you compare yourself to my "zero"? Be careful, or I'll crush you with my little finger! (●ˇ?ˇ●)
"Sigh, if I ever have the chance to run into one, I'll keep it with me. I don't have any family here..."
Deep Blue: Kid, you've got some nerve. You'd better not run into me, or I'll show you what absolute power dominance is all about. You don't even have family yet, but we're all still doing well.
Meanwhile, Audrey had finished discussing with Reese. The meeting had been scheduled for Thursday morning, so Reese needed to install the Mandel supercomputing unit on the rocket as planned before then.
"Hey! Do you even know how to implement that chain explosion program? Otherwise, simply putting this Mandel supercomputing unit in won't do any good, will it?"
When Audrey came in, she saw Wuming playing on the computer again. Speechless, she pointed to the Mandel supercomputing unit on the table. You know, this thing is priceless outside. How come this bastard just casually put it on his table? Did he bump it when he brought it back?
Audrey quickly leaned closer to examine it carefully. After checking it over and finding no signs of damage, she breathed a sigh of relief. If it had been damaged, she would have been crushed to death here.
"Yes, and this thing isn't that fragile. As long as you don't intentionally damage it, it won't break at all."
Wuming was too lazy to bother with this woman who lacked common sense and was making a fuss in front of him. Hafk was quite solid in this regard and not so fragile.
As for the explosive program, under Audrey's murderous gaze, Nameless said calmly:
"What's the rush? It's like you're going to have someone install it tomorrow. Go to sleep first, I'm tired. Turn off the lights and don't make any noise at night, okay? I'm afraid my muscle memory will make it work for you."
Audrey: Just you wait. Once you give me the antidote, you can die too. (╬▔皿▔)╯
Chapter 196 Reis: Damn it, do you want me to donate some to you?
After returning to his own territory, Robert immediately ordered his men to expedite contact with the newcomer, Gale, from Demulan's side. At the same time, he also made a phone call to Youssef.
Youssef: I don't want to say anything more. What happened to privacy? You don't even have Reis's or Said's numbers. Where did you get my phone number from?
“Hey Youssef, I don’t want to waste any more time talking to you. Send me your card number, and I’ll transfer 500 million Haff coins into that card to buy you a Reiss phone number. Hurry up and stop dawdling.”
At this moment, Mrs. Yousser was actually confused. What had happened these past few days? Before, Demoulins had stolen something and sent her tanks and planes, but she had no information about that white-haired brat and could only miss it. Now, another big fool had come along and spent 500 million to get Rhys's phone number?
Yusuf: Not a buddy? You think you're some kind of domineering CEO? You think you can make me submit like this? Reese is my good brother!
But then Youssef gave out Reis's phone number.
Yusuf: Sorry, brother. Blame this guy for giving too much. I'm not exactly rich myself right now, but don't worry, Asara's Guard won't forget you!
"Very good, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"
After saying that, Robert hung up the phone and started dialing Reese's number.
At that moment, our clever Robert began to think that if he spent money to bring all the Assara leaders under his command, wouldn't he be...?
"Hey! Which idiot is it? Spit it out or I'm hanging up."
At that moment, Reis's gruff voice came through the phone, and Robert frowned in displeasure upon hearing it. What was wrong with Reis? Was he some kind of brainless beast?
"Ahem, listen carefully, I am..."
Robert coughed twice to clear his throat, and was about to speak when Reese silenced him with a kiss:
"Screw you, you coward, you haven't said a word in ages, what the hell are you coughing for here?"
Robert's face flushed slightly, but after thinking about how Reis was an uncultured native of Asara, he held back his anger, took a couple of deep breaths, and said:
"There's a big business opportunity, are you interested?"
When Reis heard that it was another big deal, he immediately perked up. This guy just robbed something, installed a board, and directly made 200 million Haff coins. It can only be said that these people's money is really too easy to make. Now that another money-giving opportunity has come, Reis is naturally happy to see it.
"You go first, I'll take a look first."
Reis picked up his glass and took a sip of wine. It seemed that he really was Asara's chosen one. Even when he was slightly down on his luck, a group of people would remember to send him money.
"Would you like to submit to me and serve me? Here's what we'll do: I'll give you 100 million Haff coins every year, but you have to work for me. What do you say?"
Robert initially intended to spend 200 million a year, but after hearing Reis's crude remarks, Robert assumed that Reis was an uncultured person who had never seen much of the world, so he decided to cut Reis in the bud.
Reis: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Reis thought he had misheard. What the hell? He was Reis! The "strongest" man in Asara, the leader of Longbow Valley! He thought he could be taken in as a subordinate for a hundred million Haff coins a year? Are you kidding me? Even that woman Audrey didn't dare to think of making him her subordinate. She gave him two hundred million Haff coins for doing some work for her.
"How many HAF coins did you say?"
Reese scratched his ear, wondering if he had too much earwax and couldn't hear clearly.
But in Robert's view, this country bumpkin Asara must have been intimidated by such a large sum of money. It seems that the task Richard gave him was really simple!
"That's right, you heard me correctly, a full 100 million Haff coins. How about that? Aren't you surprised? Don't worry, after you become my underling, I'll continue to give you more, as long as you behave well."
Reese realized that this person was just there to tease him, and he immediately couldn't take it anymore and started criticizing him:
"You son of a bitch, stop pretending! You think you can get Asara's strongest man as your underling with just 100 million Haff coins? Are you still dreaming? You're so short on cash, what are you trying to prove? Should I donate some money to get your head fixed? Do you even have anyone with you? Should I have someone piss in your face to wake you up? Are you kidding me? You're wasting my time. Let me tell you, you better not get caught by me. If I do, I'll castrate you and throw you into a pile of men. I spit on you, you piece of trash!"
Under Reese's barrage of "attacks," Robert, who had been pampered since childhood, was completely dumbfounded. He only began to recover after Reese hung up the phone.
"How dare he? What right does he have to curse me! You damn bastard."
Robert was furious and called back, but it showed that he had been blacklisted.
Robert is now completely blacklisted, and extremely blacklisted (basically on par with that fiery hot pepper). He now seriously suspects that Reese is illiterate and doesn't know how much a hundred million is, but now he's been blacklisted.
Robert called his butler in to give him his phone, but when he tried to call it from the butler's phone, it showed that Reese's phone was switched off.
Robert was no longer red-faced; he completely lost it. He pounded on the expensive solid wood desk in front of him. He hadn't expected that he couldn't even handle this seemingly simple task. It seemed he had overestimated Reese's intelligence. He should have told him 100 times 1000000, then Reese would have known how much the money was.
Reese: I swear, I've said it countless times, I'm not illiterate, only that idiot Saeed doesn't know how much a hundred million is.
Saeed: But I have Sofia. (???`?)
Unlike Robert, who could only rage helplessly in his study, Reese blocked the number after he finished cursing, then calmly turned off his phone and tossed it aside.
"Damn it, someone actually made fun of me. And I need to change this phone number. How come someone always knows my number? Ugh, but it feels so much better after cursing. If I could just chop off that idiot Hamk's head right now, that would feel even better."
Hamk: Something's not right, my neck feels cold.
Chapter 197 Zoya: Should I watch the house?
The day after the meeting, Demulan had Mary release a statement to the media about the Hafk Group launching a rocket from the space base in the Asara region that Thursday.
As for updates to the Skynet system, those are things that those people wouldn't know about, since such things have to be done secretly.
"Hello, this is Alexei. Um... okay, I understand. Okay, got it."
Early in the morning, Shen Lan received a phone call from above. After hanging up, Shen Lan woke up Roy, who was still snoring, and asked him to wake everyone up and go downstairs for a meeting.
Roy: Wait, why is it me again? Can't someone else call me?
However, under the threatening gaze of the deep blue, Roy immediately declared that his favorite thing was waking everyone up, and slipped out without looking back to call for help.
Shenlan also came to the kitchen and everyone prepared a simple breakfast. Since she didn't have to make breakfast for Terry these past few days, Shenlan felt that her activity level had been reduced by half.
All of this stemmed from a few days ago when Terry specifically approached Deep Blue, saying that he would prepare his own breakfast from now on. Recently, Deep Blue had been making fried dough sticks for everyone, but this was unacceptable to Terry, who was very strict about his food intake. Especially since Deep Blue knew he had a large appetite, she prepared a huge pile for him that day. After that day, Terry said he would prepare his own breakfast from now on.
After Shenlan finished preparing breakfast for everyone, everyone was already waiting at the table. Zhang Hao and Mai Xiaowen also came in to help Shenlan carry everyone's breakfast out.
After Shen Lan sat down, he also said:
"I believe everyone knows what a morning meeting means, so I won't waste any more words. This morning, just now, someone from above told me that this Wednesday, the Hafk Group will launch a rocket from the space base, and the people above suspect that this is very likely Hafk trying to do something underhanded in Asara again."
"Huh? What kind of rocket is Hafk planning now? They're really obsessed with the skies. We've even cracked their SkyNet satellite system and are using it to transmit messages. Let's see what we can get for free this time?"
Uluru also mocked, saying that Mai Xiaowen had previously hacked Hafk's Skynet system, so their current communication was essentially connected to a private communication channel, and Hafk couldn't do anything about it, so it was impossible for him to eavesdrop.
So what are we going to do this time?
"We will be split into two teams this time, one to keep watch over Asara and the other over Hafk, to prevent the two sides from fighting again. Originally, the higher-ups wanted to send another team to watch over Said, but now that we have Xiao Hao's connections, we can let go of Dam Zero."
"Alright, Weilong, Terry, Uluru, Luna, and I will go to Longbow Valley. Red Wolf, you take Xiaohao, Roy, and Mai Xiaowen to the space base. There shouldn't be any problems there. We'll keep an eye on Reis and see what he'll do next."
Reese: Hehehe, I'm going to make my 100 million.
"Hey, Old Deng, what about me? Roy's already been chosen, why can't I go?"
Zoya also protested immediately. Although she was not as reliable as Roy on the battlefield, she was not so unwanted as to be unwanted!
"Bozya, you're also crucial. We're entrusting this communication connection to you, as well as the arrangements after the rocket launch. We're all counting on you."
Deep Blue shook his head, indicating that Zoya was also indispensable in this operation.
"You... Sigh, fine, fine, you should be grateful I'll handle your logistics!"
Seeing how much Shenlan trusted her, Zoya didn't say anything more, indicating that she would live up to his expectations.
Zoya: Damn it, why is Mai Xiaowen on Xiaohao's team?! So what if she can gather enemy information? If I just spam fireflies, it'll be about the same!
After finishing breakfast, Zhang Hao called Said and told him to keep an eye on the soldiers at the dam these next few days and not to go visiting the neighbors, lest they accidentally injure them.
Said immediately offered to accompany Xiao Hao and the others on this mission, saying that if they encountered danger, he could take Zhang Hao and run away.
Red Wolf: Dude, are you trying to make me look bad? Damn, I'm the number one free agent in the Special Operations Department. If you're so capable, give me a try.
Wei Long and Roy, who were holding back Red Wolf: Don't go and get yourself killed! Just keep making threats in your own home. Do you really think you can beat him?
Zhang Hao declined Said's offer, as his side was there to maintain balance, and if Said were to be seen, it would be bad for their GTI camp, whether it was Asara or Hafk.
"It's alright, Uncle Said. Don't you trust me? My sniper rifle is very powerful. Even if the enemy gets close to me, I can easily take him down."
