"This matter doesn't need to be discussed."
The black robed man on the main seat interrupted their argument.
"Regarding the production of the Source of Life Potion, the headquarters has already made a detailed plan. From next year onwards, the headquarters will increase their investment in the production of the Source of Life Potion. Our quota for the Source of Life Potion will also increase from one to two every year."
The white robed men frowned when they heard this. They had never heard of this news before. This meant that their power in the headquarters was gradually being marginalized, and they were starting to distance themselves from some core decisions.
"Aside from Mo Sheng, there is another matter that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."
The black robed man on the main seat looked around and said slowly.
"How should we deal with Qi Yuan?"
After a short silence, one of the black robed men said with a hoarse voice.
"He is the one who ruined our plan this time. If he didn't ruin our plan, Mo Sheng might not have been able to break through successfully. Moreover, he killed Wen Zhuo and Yan Shan. This debt of blood must be paid back by him."
"How?" One of the white robed men asked.
"Qi Yuan has not only been promoted to a level 4 researcher and obtained the Leader's Medal, but he is also on good terms with Mo Sheng. He also has Tan Qiu and Cao Yansheng behind him. Now, even Chief Mo Lin has stepped forward to protect him. If you touch him, you will offend Mo Sheng and the entire laboratory."
"He is only a level 4 ability user, yet he dares to kill our people. Are we just going to let it go?" Someone snorted.
"We don't have to kill Qi Yuan, but we can use the rules to make him pay for Wen Zhuo's death!"
"As long as we don't break the rules, neither Mo Sheng nor the laboratory can blame us."
"Let's see your method."
"A few days ago, Duanmu Longxiang sent a message asking for help. He wanted to send a few researchers to the frontline to carry out battlefield maintenance. I suggest that we send Qi Yuan to the frontline and let him atone for his crimes."
"Do you think Mo Lin and the others will agree to your request?
What's the difference between this and killing Qi Yuan! "One of the white robed men sneered.
Although in the past, when the war was intense, there would be researchers going to the frontline to carry out battlefield maintenance. However, there had never been a level 4 researcher sent to the frontline.
In the frontlines, the researchers in charge of field maintenance were definitely the first targets of the enemy. In the past, the maintenance personnel who went to the frontlines might not be able to return alive even if they stayed in the base.
"Of course I know that. They won't let Qi Yuan risk his life at the front lines, but this is just a condition for negotiation. We can raise this condition. If the laboratory is unwilling to back down, we can use this condition to exchange for other benefits. I believe that Chief Molin will definitely be willing to give up something we need for Qi Yuan."
The others nodded. If they could use Qi Yuan to exchange for other benefits from Mo Lin's hands, it was something they could accept as well.
Under the influence of some people, a confrontation that had been hidden under the calm surface slowly became intense.
Some secret information also slowly reached Qi Yuan's ears.
"The Homo Evolutis want to send me to the frontline?" Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Tan Qiu nodded with a serious expression.
"The Homo Evolutis side has already proposed a proposal, but it was rejected by Captain Mo Lin's side. Based on past practice, there should be an exchange of benefits at the end, so this proposal should be rejected. However, the final result will depend on how the higher-ups negotiate."
Rejected?
Why would they reject it?
Isn't this a good thing to give me a pillow when I'm sleepy?
Qi Yuan's thoughts turned quickly. All the level 4 checkpoints had refreshed at the frontline, so he had to go there.
With his current strength, as long as he didn't face a level 6 powerhouse, he would definitely be able to put up a fight.
Moreover, with his identity, even if he went to the frontline, he would definitely be heavily protected.
"What's the situation at the frontline now?" Qi Yuan asked tentatively.
Tan Qiu frowned slightly. He sensed that something was wrong.
"Why are you asking this?
Do you really want to go to the frontline? "
Ah!
You know me so well?
Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Tan Qiu would be able to guess what he wanted just by asking.
Under the protection of the Soul Fortress, Tan Qiu obviously couldn't listen to his thoughts, so this was Tan Qiu's own judgment.
Qi Yuan said with a guilty conscience, "Don't misunderstand. I'm just concerned about the situation at the frontline. The latest batch of annihilation energy weapons should have already been sent to the frontline soldiers. I want to know how they're doing."
Tan Qiu looked at Qi Yuan suspiciously.
"The latest batch of annihilation energy weapons have indeed arrived at the frontline, and they've already exchanged fire with the Mech Dynasty. Their performance is very good."
"In the latest batch of reports, our soldiers used the annihilation energy weapons to destroy a large number of level 4 Mechs of the Mech Dynasty. They were completely unable to resist the attack of the annihilation energy weapons."
"However, there's also a piece of bad news," Tan Qiu said slowly.
"Although the level 4 Mechs of the Mech Dynasty suffered heavy losses, the level 5 Mechs displayed a strong resistance to the annihilation energy."
"I'm guessing that after reading your thesis, the Mech Dynasty had already begun to prepare a way to deal with the annihilation energy."
"Based on the data we obtained from the frontlines, the Mech King Court has begun to upgrade the Type 5 machines on the frontlines. They are using a new type of metal armor that can weaken the destructive force by 50%."
Qi Yuan furrowed his brows.
"The Mech Dynasty responded so quickly?"
After being weakened by 50%, compared to other types of energy, the annihilation energy no longer had an obvious advantage.
"Don't underestimate them," Tan Qiu said seriously.
"The Mech Dynasty's battle feedback is much faster than ours. In the field of machinery and energy, they're truly the best. I don't find it strange that they could find a way to deal with the annihilation energy."
"According to the progress of the Mechanical King Court, my power of annihilation will soon lose its effect on them." Qi Yuan laughed bitterly.
"Of course not," Tan Qiu said.
"The frontlines have already obtained some of the latest alloy armor used by the Mech Dynasty to resist the annihilation energy. They've also taken samples for analysis."
"This alloy is not only complicated to craft, but also expensive to produce. It requires a few rare ores, and the Mech Dynasty's production is not high. With their production, they can only upgrade the Mech Dynasty's Mechs, but not the Mech Dynasty's Mechs."
"If the Mech Dynasty wants to cross the threshold of annihilation energy, they still have a long way to go."
Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. If the Mech Dynasty had really solved the annihilation energy, then his trip to the frontlines would be dangerous.
"Let me remind you, although you've already stepped into the Type 4 realm and have the Leader's Medal, I still don't recommend you go to the frontlines. The Mech Dynasty has already sent out Type 5 and even Type 6 Mechs. Their leader, Slayer, is a Type 7 Mech Apostle. Only Duanmu Longxiang can restrain him."
"On the battlefield, your body is naturally at a disadvantage compared to those metal cans."
Qi Yuan nodded perfunctorily.
Tan Qiu suddenly felt a headache coming on. She could not understand why Qi Yuan wanted to go to the frontlines so badly. The situation here had not even calmed down, yet he wanted to go to the frontlines.
Wasn't it better to just stay in the lab?
Did he really think that the Mech Dynasty's Mechs would not kill?
"Why do you want to go to the frontlines?" Tan Qiu could not help but ask.
"I don't!
Don't spout nonsense! "Qi Yuan denied without any change in expression.
"You better write me a contract!"
Qi Yuan:???
Just as Tan Qiu was having a headache over Qi Yuan's desire to go to the frontlines, Mo Sheng's first negotiation with the Homo Evolutis ended unhappily due to Mo Sheng's stubbornness.
That night, Mo Sheng left the Black Steel Shelter once again and went deep into the wilderness. The next morning, the Homo Evolutis were infuriated by a piece of news.
Mo Sheng had destroyed yet another wilderness base.
After two consecutive bases were destroyed by Mo Sheng, the Homo Evolutis were furious. This time, they chose to retaliate.
The Homo Evolutis sent out two Type 7 powerhouses in an attempt to kill Mo Sheng in the wilderness. However, as Mo Sheng had always been a lone wolf, they were unable to track him down.
It was only when Mo Sheng destroyed the third base that he finally encountered the two who came to rescue him.
An intense battle broke out in the wilderness. Both sides did not hold back, and Mo Sheng displayed shocking combat strength. He actually managed to injure one of the Type 7 powerhouses in a 1v2 situation. Although he was injured more heavily and was forced to flee, the result of this battle was enough to make the Homo Evolutis feel fear.
Mo Sheng, who had just stepped into the Type 7 realm, was actually able to break through the encirclement of two Type 7 Homo Evolutis and even injure one of them.
This battle not only proved Mo Sheng's strength, it also made the Homo Evolutis realize the gap between them and the Homo Evolutis.
The Homo Evolutis' bodies were originally fused with the genes of Heaven Awaken powerhouses, so it was easier for them to break through the limits of their ranks and step into the higher ranks.
But at the same time, because of the lack of tempering, their Homo Evolutis were not as strong as the Homo Evolutis.
For example, Mo Sheng, who had broken through to the higher ranks without any external help, and had just awakened his Heaven Awaken power, he could almost fight one against two. This huge gap in strength made the Homo Evolutis feel fear.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Homo Evolutis decided to sit down and negotiate with Mo Sheng for the second time.
Compared to the first negotiation, the Homo Evolutis' attitude was clearly much more humble this time.
Under the matchmaking of a director, Mo Sheng sat down with the Homo Evolutis once again.
Mo Sheng and a Homo Evolutis in white robes sat at opposite ends of the long table, facing each other.
"Mo Sheng, it's been two years since we last met. I didn't expect you to have already stepped into the Type 7 realm. I wonder if you still remember this old friend of yours," the Homo Evolutis in white robes said softly.
Mo Sheng smiled.
"An Xi, I also didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances."
An Xi, who was wearing a white robe, took off the hood that covered her face, revealing a gentle female face.
"During the last negotiation, I originally wanted to come, but because I knew you wouldn't agree to those conditions, I found an excuse to refuse," An Xi said.
"I can't refuse today's negotiation. After all, I'm also a Homo Evolutis. I only hope that no matter the outcome of the negotiation, it won't affect our friendship."
Mo Sheng nodded, expressing his understanding.
Although the Homo Evolutis had differences in ideology, causing them to split internally, the Homo Evolutis were much more united than the Homo Evolutis.
An Xi, who had been ostracized by the Homo Evolutis, was still willing to negotiate with him for the sake of the Homo Evolutis.
In An Xi's words, even though she had already used 'them' to refer to the Homo Evolutis, she still regarded herself as one of them.
"Since they sent you to negotiate with me again, they should have already reached an agreement on my conditions," Mo Sheng said.
An Xi nodded.
"They have already agreed to most of your conditions, but they hope you can reconsider the issue of Qi Yuan."
Mo Sheng frowned.
"Qi Yuan only killed one of your Rank 4 Evolutis. Why do you insist on pursuing him?"
Qi Yuan saved Fu Qingqing this time, so it was reasonable for him to not let the Homo Evolutis put pressure on him, even if Qi Yuan had the whole laboratory behind him.
An Xi looked at Mo Sheng deeply.
"With your intelligence, you should know very well why they are doing this."
"This time, you've caused too much trouble. The destruction of three bases has hurt them deeply. They need to vent some of their anger."
"They are willing to reconcile with you because you've shown great strength. For the sake of their interests, they are willing to compromise on your matter."
"After reaching Rank 7, this is the first time they have suffered such a big loss, but instead of taking revenge, they chose to compromise. This made many people see their weakness."
"In order to show that they still have great strength, they must take action. Targeting Qi Yuan is only because of the situation."
"A Rank 4 researcher who has won the Leader's Medal. Although his glory is limitless, he is still a Rank 4 Evolutis after all. Moreover, his foundation is too shallow. If he can kill a Homo Evolutis without paying any price, then the consequences will be worse than ten Wen Zhuo's."
Seeing Mo Sheng still frowning, An Xi couldn't help but remind him.
"Mo Sheng, although you've already reached the seventh order, defeated Gu Jing, and escaped from their encirclement, this doesn't mean that they don't have a way to deal with you. The power of the new humans under the water is far beyond your imagination, this is something you should know very well."
"Because they don't want to expose too much of their strength, they didn't go all out in the previous encirclement. It was more like a warning to you. If they really want to kill you, you won't be able to come back alive."
"I'm prepared to die in battle," Mo Sheng said slowly.
"Before reaching Rank 7, I retreated again and again in the face of their pressure, but in the end, they only took an inch and wanted a mile."
"Now that I have reached Rank 7, I can no longer find a reason to continue retreating. If they really want to kill me, then bring it on!"
"Even if I can't come back alive, before I die, I can at least drag a Rank 7 down to hell with me!"
