The three people in white robes walked to the prepared chairs and sat down, facing the black-robed man at the head of the table.
The white-robed man in the middle looked around and said in an unfriendly tone:
"If it weren't for the fact that you caused such a big disturbance that you couldn't clean up, do you think we would be willing to cooperate with you?"
After that, he turned to look at the black-robed man sitting at the head of the table.
"The premise of our cooperation is that you can solve the dissenting voices in your group. Otherwise, all the cooperation between us will become empty words."
The black-robed man at the head of the table nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
"As New Humans, although there are some differences between us, we have the same interests and the same goals to pursue. It's just that the methods to achieve the goals are different."
Hearing this, the white-robed man smiled.
"That's not what you said when you were in the limelight."
The black-robed man at the head of the table glanced at him and said: "Before this, we have argued enough. Now, let's discuss how to get through the current situation."
The black-robed man's gaze swept across the room. The gloomy room became quiet again.
"You should know very well why I called you here today. Mo Sheng advanced to the seventh rank, defeated Gu Jing, and took away the Source of Life Medicine. This has seriously affected our status."
"In addition, Qi Yuan acted recklessly and slaughtered our companions, but didn't receive the punishment he deserved. This made people start to doubt our strength."
"If we can't suppress these doubts with strong means this time, we will soon face more threats. We have too many enemies now. Once we show any signs of weakness or fatigue, these hidden enemies will attack us together and devour us."
"No matter what differences we have in the past, the common interests of New Humans will always be our foundation. I hope everyone here will remember this."
The room fell into silence again. The New Humans hadn't been out of the laboratory for long. In such a short time, they could grow to this point, mainly because they were united.
Although after they became strong, they split once because of differences in their future path, but they didn't completely separate from each other. When the overall interests of New Humans were threatened, they would still put down their differences and work together.
After a while, the white-robed man in the middle broke the silence in the room.
"How is Gu Jing's injury now?"
"Gu Jing's injuries are no longer a problem and he will recover soon. What I'm worried about now is Mo Sheng."
"Mo Sheng defeated Gu Gujing as soon as he reached the seventh rank. This means that his Fate Power is stronger than we expected."
"I believe all of you should be very clear that Mo Sheng is a blade used by those people to suppress us. Now that this blade has taken the initiative to leave its sheath, it has fully displayed its sharpness. If we are even slightly careless, it will give us a fatal blow."
"You don't have to worry about that," a white-robed man said slowly.
"Since Mo Sheng has stepped into the seventh step, he is no longer a blade. No one can wield a seventh step blade!"
"The reason why Mo Sheng defeated Gu Jing this time is probably to vent the anger in his heart. The things you guys have done before have crossed Mo Sheng's bottom line several times. Once he's done venting the anger in his heart, he'll naturally calm down."
"What if Mo Sheng doesn't let us go?" someone asked in a low voice.
"We have enough seventh step powerhouses. If Gu Gujing alone isn't Mo Sheng's opponent, we can send out two. If two isn't enough, we can send out three. Don't forget our biggest advantage."
"Although Mo Sheng has already stepped into the seventh step and awakened his Fate Power, he is not alone. He still has Fu Qingqing, Kong Yi, Qi Yuan, and many people by his side. With Mo Sheng's personality, he will not be crazy enough to disregard everything and abandon everything to become our enemy."
The others nodded in agreement.
In the past, the reason why they had unscrupulously crossed Mo Sheng's bottom line was because the existence of these people restricted Mo Sheng's hands and feet. Mo Sheng's restraint was not for himself, but for the people by his side. These people were his weak spot.
"I need to remind you that you must maintain enough respect for a high level powerhouse. Mo Sheng's brazen attack this time is not a simple warning. Mo Sheng has already broken the shackles on his body. If anyone wants to use Fu Qingqing's people to threaten him, he will not continue to compromise like before. Instead, he will use even crazier methods to take revenge."
The black-robed man sitting at the head of the table paused for a moment and tapped his finger lightly.
A screen of light was instantly projected in the gloomy room.
A huge ruin could be seen in the projection. From the gloomy gray sky, one could vaguely determine that this should be the wilderness.
Traces of energy explosions could be seen everywhere in the ruins.
Shattered rocks, twisted steel frames, burnt corpses …
Thick smoke was even rising from some parts of the ruins.
It was clear that the ruins had experienced an intense explosion or battle not long ago.
"What is this place?" a white-robed man asked.
The black-robed man at the head of the table adjusted the angle of the projection, zooming in on a collapsed metal wall and displaying it to everyone.
There was a vague mark on the wall. It was a blurry human face in the midst of light and darkness.
The black-robed man's expression changed abruptly.
"What base number is this?"
"Why was it destroyed?"
The other white-robed men's expressions also changed slightly. They had already guessed where this place was.
In the process of strengthening, the New Humans had chosen to build secret bases in the wilderness to avoid exposing too much of their strength.
The locations of these secret bases had been carefully selected. Except for a few people, no one knew the exact location of these bases. Even the staff of these bases did not know the exact location of these bases.
Over the years, although people had slowly guessed that the New Humans had built bases in the wilderness, the location of these bases had never been exposed. There had also been no incidents of them being destroyed.
However, the base in the projection had been completely destroyed. Furthermore, it had been completely destroyed.
"This is the projection Mo Sheng sent me yesterday," the black-robed man at the head of the table said in a low voice.
"Mo Sheng!
How dare he do this? "a black-robed man couldn't help but growl.
Every base in the wilderness represented a huge investment. These bases were where the New Humans' fundamental interests lay.
"I've told you before. The current Mo Sheng is no longer the Mo Sheng of the past who only knows how to passively take a beating.
He has already broken the shackles on his body and released the beast in his heart. He has learned to take the initiative to attack. He has become the most dangerous hunter. He will look for the enemy's weakest point and launch the most fatal attack. "
"What is he trying to do?" a black-robed man growled.
"Fu Qingqing is safe and sound. Not a single one of his people died. He even took the Source of Life Medicine. Qi Yuan also got ten tons of Asterite!
He didn't lose anything. On the contrary, many of our people died! "
"Why did he do this?
Does he want to fight to the death with us? "
"Mo Sheng's actions have already crossed our bottom line. I suggest we eliminate him!"
"Eliminate?
How are you going to eliminate a seventh order powerhouse? "
…
After calming everyone down, the black-robed man at the head of the table spoke slowly.
"Other than this projection, Mo Sheng also sent me a message. He wants us to stop targeting his people and hand over those who attacked him before. Otherwise, this base is just the beginning. He will destroy even more bases."
The atmosphere in the room became silent once more. These bases were related to their fundamental interests. They were the foundation of their foothold and strength.
Building a base required a large amount of resources and energy. Losing a base was like stabbing a knife into their hearts.
Mo Sheng had used his actions to prove that he had the ability to turn threats into reality.
Mo Sheng's attitude was unyielding. If they wanted to stop him from continuing, they had to agree to his conditions. Lowering their heads to Mo Sheng would be a loss of face for the New Humans.
"How did Mo Sheng find out the location of these bases?" a white-robed man asked slowly.
His gaze leisurely swept around the room.
"I believe that the locations of these bases must be very secretive. Apart from a few people, only a few people know the location of these bases. Did a traitor leak the information to him?"
Before he finished speaking, several black-robed men immediately glared at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just stating a fact," the white-robed man said with a shrug.
"It's not a leak," the black-robed man at the head of the table said.
"The possibility of the location of these bases being leaked from the inside is very low. I'm more inclined to believe that Mo Sheng planned this beforehand and found the location of these bases through clues."
"Don't forget one thing. Not long after Mo Sheng entered the sixth order, he began to frequently go out on missions. Among all the sixth order powerhouses, he was the one who went out on missions the longest. However, the number of missions he completed wasn't more than the others. With Mo Sheng's strength, this is clearly abnormal."
"What did he do with all that extra time?"
"I think this destroyed base is the answer."
Everyone else fell silent once more.
Although the bases established in the wilderness were hidden and the wastelands were vast, building a base wasn't something that could be done overnight. There were bound to be traces left behind. If a sixth order powerhouse set their sights on these traces, it wasn't impossible to find the location of these bases through them.
Mo Sheng was also a Wasteland Hunter. He knew more about the wastelands than anyone else in the room. Add that to the fact that he was highly respected in the wastelands, and it wasn't difficult for him to get any information out of them.
After a moment of silence, one of the black-robed men spoke slowly.
"If Mo Sheng can find the first base, then he can find the second. He's already made a real threat. We can't ignore it!"
"Mo Sheng destroyed one of our secret bases. A base like this would cost us a lot of resources and effort. Only by killing him can we ensure the safety of the other bases."
The black-robed man at the head of the table stared at him.
"Mo Sheng defeated Gu Jing as soon as he advanced. He's always been a lone wolf in the wastelands. We can't even lock onto his location. How are you going to kill him?"
The black-robed man paused. He did have many seventh order powerhouses on his side, but there weren't many who could defeat Mo Sheng in a direct confrontation. It wouldn't be easy to kill Mo Sheng unless they mobilized more seventh order powerhouses.
However, if they mobilized more seventh order powerhouses to kill Mo Sheng, they would expose more of their strength and make more people wary. This wasn't an outcome he wanted to see.
"I suggest we find someone to talk to Mo Sheng," said a white-robed man.
"Although I want Mo Sheng to pay the price, the current situation doesn't allow us to do so. With the strength he's shown, it's too difficult to surround and hunt him down. We have to think of another way."
"Mo Sheng is a smart man. He may have destroyed a base, but he doesn't want to fight us to the death."
"The reason why he's doing this is probably because he wants to use his craziness to scare us so that we won't dare to continue attacking Fu Qingqing and the others. He's only flexing his muscles to us."
"What about Mo Sheng's conditions?" asked a black-robed man.
"Talk to him first. If he can raise the price, we can also pay him back," said the white-robed man.
"Doesn't he want us to hand over the murderer?
Let's find a few genetic warriors to take the blame. It's not shameful to lower our heads to a seventh order powerhouse. "
Compared to new humans, it wasn't easy to cultivate genetic warriors, but it was much simpler.
With the newbies' current strength and status, sacrificing a few genetic warriors was nothing.
The black-robed man at the head of the table turned to look at the white-robed man at the center.
"I know you have a good relationship with Mo Sheng. I'll leave this matter to you. How about it?"
The white-robed man nodded his head and agreed.
"I can help you negotiate with Mo Sheng, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to convince him. You should know very well how much you've done to him."
"It doesn't matter. As long as Mo Sheng is willing to negotiate, it's enough," said the black-robed man at the head of the table.
Seeing that some of the black-robed men were still unreconciled, he slowly said, "Don't forget, don't forget about Mo Sheng.
Right now, Mo Sheng still has a Source of Life Medicine in his hands. Using this medicine, he might be able to rope in a peak sixth order powerhouse, or even create a seventh order powerhouse. "
The black-robed men became silent again. They were very clear on how attractive the Source of Life Medicine was to sixth order powerhouses. If they continued to oppose Mo Sheng, Mo Sheng indeed might do this.
"I suggest that headquarters increase their investment in the Source of Life Medicine, and use it to rope in those peak sixth order powerhouses. I believe there will definitely be people willing to sell their lives for the Source of Life Medicine!"
"I don't agree with this!" Someone objected.
"The Source of Life Medicine has no help for our sixth order powerhouses to break through. It's only useful for old humans. The more we produce, the more old humans will use it to break through."
"When these people were at the sixth rank, they were willing to risk their lives for us for the sake of the Source of Life Potion, but when they step into the seventh rank, we won't have enough means to restrain them. In the end, they will all become our enemies!"
