Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of white light entered the corner of his eyes, making his heart tighten. When he was knocked out, he was in the dark, and his body tensed up, ready to release flames at any time. However, the next moment, he relaxed again. He saw that the lighting layout and material on the ceiling were similar to the interior of the frigate. He wondered if Zhuo Mingyue and Huang Tingwei had found him at the last moment.
Feeling that his body was not restricted, Zhang Xiaoqiang sat up and looked at the little loli beside him. At this time, the little loli's wounds had been treated, and she was sleeping quietly in the crystal coffin-like protective cover. The two penetrating wounds had begun to heal, and the bloodstains on her body had been cleaned. It seemed like she was fine.
Then he saw the backpack and the Firebird machete under the bed, and he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. At least these things were still there. What puzzled him was why the room was so narrow?
After all, the frigate had enough space, and even the toilet was big. Why was this infirmary not much bigger than the toilet?
There was basically no space after putting two beds?
Just when he was puzzled, two men walked in. When he saw them, Zhang Xiaoqiang was stunned. He did not expect to see two officers from New Era that he did not know. The younger one looked familiar, but he had never seen the other one before. The two smiled and nodded at him, and the younger one said, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, I didn't expect to see you again so soon after we parted ways. I really miss the days when we fought together underwater. However, if Zhang Xiaoqiang wants to visit Australia, just let me know. There's no need to be so embarrassed …"
There was a hint of schadenfreude in Zhang Xiaoqiang's misfortune, which made him feel friendly. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang took back the Firebird machete and stared at him with a hint of killing intent. This made Xeller, who was next to Leger, reach for the pistol on his waist. Leger grabbed Xeller's hand and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang with a smile. "Zhang Xiaoqiang, you don't have to be so cautious. If we wanted to make a move, we would have done it before. Also, Zhang Xiaoqiang is on my ship, not New Era's ship. I hope Zhang Xiaoqiang understands this …"
When Zhang Xiao Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but relax. He was just testing the two of them. As long as he had the Firebird Scimitar, even if there were two gods standing in front of him, he was confident that he could escape with the little loli. Putting away the scimitar, Zhang Xiao Qiang stared into Legel's eyes and said, "What do you want?
Since you're not going to imprison me, you must have something you need my help with. As long as you don't betray China's interests, I'm willing to help you to a certain extent. "
Zhang Xiaoqiang was not an ingrate. He might not be grateful for a drop of water, but at least he would not be ungrateful. After he spoke, Leger nodded and did not say anything else. He turned to look at the little loli with a strange expression. After a while, he said, "What if I want Zhang Xiaoqiang to hand her over to me?"
"Don't even think about it …" Zhang Xiaoqiang rejected without hesitation. However, Leger did not turn hostile. Instead, he compromised and said, "Then, please protect her well, Zhang Xiaoqiang. Decars is a mutant that the chairman will not let go of. At least on some goals, I and Zhang Xiaoqiang are in agreement. This way, we can have a platform to seek common ground while reserving our differences for a dialogue …"
As he spoke, he gestured for Zhang Xiaoqiang to leave. Both of them spoke in Mandarin, but Kessel did not understand Mandarin. Seeing that Leger had already spoken to Zhang Xiaoqiang, he released the pistol at his waist and stepped out first. Zhang Xiaoqiang turned to look at the little loli and followed closely behind. The three of them followed the narrow passage to a small conference room, but they saw that someone was already waiting for them. This small conference room was less than five square meters. Apart from a few chairs, there was not even space for a coffee table. However, there was an alcoholic who had placed red wine on the wall. Most of the red wine had disappeared, indicating that the owner of this place was addicted to red wine.
There were two people waiting here. One was a blond, handsome, yet flustered, three-leaf military officer, and the other was a woman wearing a collar and tight clothes. Seeing the woman, Zhang Xiaoqiang's expression changed slightly. He immediately recognized that this woman was the one who had chased him out of the core area. When the woman saw Zhang Xiaoqiang, she could not help but stand up and get ready to attack. Zhang Xiaoqiang tensed his muscles instantly like a ferocious beast hunting its prey. The expanding killing intent reverberated in the narrow space, causing Christina's expression to change drastically. They were inside a hawk, and there was no soil or stone for her to move. In this place, her combat power was not even comparable to that of an ordinary evolved person. She could not help but grit her teeth and stare at Leger.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, she will not be a danger to you. Do you see the collar on her neck?
If I press my finger, her head will be blown off, even if she's a priest. "
Leger was the first to break the dangerous atmosphere. Zhang Xiaoqiang watched as Christina touched her neck to make sure that she was not being choked. He breathed a sigh of relief, and did not say anything as he took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and found a place to sit.
After everyone was seated, the restless Assad spoke first. "Lord Leger, what did you mean when you said I still had a chance to live?
How are we going to explain this to the chairman? "
When Assad saw Zhang Xiaoqiang and Christina here, he already had a vague guess in his heart. What Leger was after was probably something he did not dare to imagine, and it could be said that it was not much different from the destruction of the research lab.
However, Leger did not answer immediately. He took out a multi-faceted metal box the size of a cell phone from his pocket, and pulled out an earplug connected to a silver thread from the side of the box, and handed it to Zhang Xiaoqiang. "This is a very interesting invention. It can connect to the Harrier's database and translate languages you don't understand. Of course, it can only understand, but not speak. It's the simplest language cracking device."
Leger did his job well. He knew that Zhang Xiaoqiang would not be able to understand what they were going to say next, so he found a solution first. There was no need for Zhang Xiaoqiang to say anything, as long as Zhang Xiaoqiang listened. Zhang Xiaoqiang silently took the light metal box, weighed it in his hand, and put the earplug in his ear. The next moment, he heard what Assad said.
"The reason I invited you here today is very simple. I want to expose the evil nature of Kluge. Although I am his son, I am very disgusted with everything he has done. Lady Christina, the Creator Goddess of Earth, China's supreme leader, Mr. Qiang, and my close friend, the Governor of Australia, Kassler, as well as the defense commander of the New Era's top secret laboratory, Knight Assad. We hate each other, and we will do anything for our own goals. It can be said that in some aspects, we are all mortal enemies, but we are sitting here because we have a common enemy, Kluge …"
This was not the first time Zhang Xiaoqiang had heard of the name Kluge. Marlenna had told him some things about the New Era's headquarters. If it was in the past, he would not take it to heart, or at least, he did not think that Kluge could do anything to him. But now, he was much more cautious. The chaotic battle had made him realize the power of the New Era's Primordial Deity. Assad's expression changed when he heard Leger calling the chairman an enemy, but he soon calmed down. No matter what, the chairman would not forgive him unless he found evidence of Leger's betrayal.
"It is not a coincidence that the laboratory attracted the attention of Genesis and Mr. Qiang. Everything here was created by Kluge for his own desires. My original mission was to capture the mutant that escaped. The mutant is taboo, and it can be said to be the root of the destruction of mankind. I believe that Sir Assad understands this the best. You have always been the one to cooperate with this project, so please explain it to us …"
Changing the topic, Leger dragged Assad into the conversation. Assad did not want to answer, but under Leger's piercing gaze, he compromised. His previous pleading and despair told him that if he was abandoned by Leger, he would have no other choice but to commit suicide. Taking a deep breath, Assad's expression suddenly changed. He clenched his teeth and said, "Everyone knows about mutants. These walking corpses that walk in the cities and on the earth are the greatest enemies of mankind. They devour human flesh and blood and transform humans into something like them. But they are also the markers of biological evolution. Through research, as long as there is enough food, these mutants will continue to live and continue to grow stronger. They can be said to be a different kind of immortal.
The probability of her appearing is only one in ten million. Through various coincidences, the pregnant mother of the mutant causes the fetus to develop normally, and it is discovered by humans before the mutant is born. This is to prevent it from being devoured by the mother. This kind of coincidence will give rise to a creature that is between a human and a mutant, and we call it a taboo creature. The moment a mutant is born, it has ten times the speed of an agility evolver and ten times the strength evolver. They can consume both human and mutant food, and their nature is cruel and bloodthirsty. Once these mutants are angered, they can wipe out the entire population of a city in the shortest time possible.
Of course, these are not important. What is important is that these mutants are far more suitable for survival than normal mutants. Similarly, they also have the longevity of mutants. According to our inference, the lifespan of mutants may be far longer than that of normal mutants. In other words, they may be the key to human immortality, but the risk of this key to human beings is greater than the benefit. The Chairman's goal is to solve the problem of immortality through mutants, and the purpose of building this laboratory is to make him live forever. "
Christina, Zhang Xiaoqiang, and Kozelle were all shocked, and even their bodies were trembling. Humans yearned for immortality because of their fear of death. No one was not afraid of death, and no one would complain about living longer. Zhang Xiaoqiang was the first to calm down. The Nuwa Base had Ma Ruibo's improved serum, and as long as they could find it, anyone would be able to triple their lifespan. There was no need to lose himself over a theory that had yet to come to fruition. According to his theory, the so-called immortality was just an extra one or two hundred years.
