Chapter 32 The Incident of the Man-made Freak Runaway (Part 1)
In the conference room, the atmosphere was unusually depressing.
Facing the big guys here who represented the highest authority in Longdu, Xia Lenling felt on pins and needles.
"Then let me explain the situation first!"
He stood up slowly, his tall figure wrapped in a professional suit.
Xia Lengling was like a sexy little wild cat, immediately attracting a whistle from Bei Gongmu.
Everyone frowned and cast strange looks at the instigator.
"Ignore me..."
After taking a puff of his cigar, Bei Gong Mu exhaled a burst of smoke and said jokingly: "You go on, I'm just listening!"
Clearing her throat awkwardly, Xia Lengling introduced: "About an hour ago, our Communications Office received a report from Tianqin Metal Smelting Company..."
"Their smelting factory outside the city was attacked by an inexplicable group of monster beasts half a year ago. Currently, they have completely lost contact with the staff in the factory."
Picking up the remote control device, Xia Lenling pressed it lightly, and the projector immediately played the relevant picture.
On the screen are relevant information and photos about Tianqin Metal Smelting Factory.
"so what?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Beigong Mu interrupted without knowing why: "Is a case involving a private enterprise worthy of such an uproar? With all due respect, the boss of Tianqin Metal Smelting Company should contact the Night Watch Alliance Association instead of
us!"
The people in the conference room looked at Beigong Mu with gloomy expressions.
Hu Haiquan, the Lord of Longdu City, frowned and looked very annoyed.
As for Xia Lengling and An Gufeng, their faces were full of embarrassment.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
Bei Gong Mu glanced at them suspiciously: "Or are you hiding something from me?"
With a wry smile, An Gufeng said: "That's right, it's not too late to tell you some things now..."
"Tianqin Metal Smelting Company appears to be a private enterprise, but in fact it works for our Longdu War Preparedness Department."
Narrowing his eyes, Bei Gong Mu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
After a moment of silence, the city lord Hu Haiquan coughed twice and said in a deep voice: "Leng Ling, keep talking!"
"Okay...okay!"
Nodding, Xia Lengling quickly continued the introduction: "As Minister An said, the factory set up by Tianqin Metal Smelting Company outside the city is not simple..."
"There is a secret research institute in the factory, which was funded and built by our War Readiness Department and is responsible for researching a confidential project for us..."
"What are you studying?" Beigong Mu asked with a dark face.
Xia Lengling was stunned for a moment and looked helplessly at Hu Haiquan and An Gufeng.
The two old men nodded silently, and then she dared to tell the truth.
"Nanoscale atomic biological manipulation..."
Xia Lengling explained solemnly: "To put it in layman's terms, it's an artificial freak!"
boom!
With a dull loud noise, the entire conference room shook.
Bei Gong Mu punched the wall behind him hard, and the alloy wall buried deep in the ground immediately dented and cracked.
Immediately, an inexplicable amount of dust rose up in the room.
Hearing the commotion, the guards outside the conference room immediately broke in and were silent when they saw this scene.
They thought a powerful enemy was coming just now, and they were really sweating.
"Get out, you have nothing to do here..." An Gufeng rolled his eyes and raised his hand casually.
Several guards swallowed their saliva and quickly closed the door.
"You old guys, are you crazy!?"
Bei Gong Mu shouted angrily: "You are playing with fire!"
Faced with his roar, the two powerful old men chose to remain silent.
"Director Beigong, please calm down!" Xia Lengling saw this and quickly tried to admonish him.
"calm?"
After stubbing out the cigar in his hand, Bei Gong Mu raised his forehead and smiled bitterly: "After hundreds of years of bloody battles, human society has just recovered a little bit of vitality, and you old bastards are starting to get ready to die...
.”
"Have you forgotten how we fell from the top of the food chain?!"
Standing up violently, Bei Gong Mu held his hands on the table in frustration.
"It's because there are too many arrogant idiots like you who think they can control everything and don't have any respect for nature!"
In the conference room, the only sound was Bei Gong Mu's angry roar.
Sighing, An Gufeng responded: "We are doing this for the sake of the interests of the people of the Great Xia Empire..."
"It's the same thing again!"
Sitting back down heavily, Beigong Mu sneered: "What is the interests of the empire and what is the overall situation? Is this your excuse for doing such nonsense? I'm tired of hearing this!"
Gritting his teeth, Xia Lingling explained: "Even if we don't do experiments and research in this area, others will do it."
After a pause, she said solemnly: "According to intelligence, the Ocean Federation, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, including the Principality of Isa in the north, their technology in this area is at least ten years ahead of ours, so...
"
"So, if someone eats shit, you have to eat it too!?" Bei Gong Mu interrupted him rudely.
"enough!"
Hu Haiquan, the lord of Longdu City who had been silent all this time, took action.
He glanced at Bei Gong Mu angrily and said coldly.
"Beigong Mu, I'm warning you, I called you here today to discuss the aftermath, not to dictate the empire's decision-making!"
After giving Hu Haiquan a vicious look, Bei Gong Mu lit the cigar again and took a deep breath.
Seeing that he stopped talking nonsense, Hu Haiquan sat back down.
Taking a long breath, Xia Lengling continued: "According to the data submitted by Qin Zhiqiang, the project authorized by the Ministry of War Preparedness to research has made great progress."
Press the controller in your hand again, and the images on the projection will flash continuously.
Various research files and related experimental data are all vividly visible.
"However, a test accident half a year ago caused Experimental Subject No. 1 to go berserk. All evidence shows that the sudden attack by a group of monster beasts should also be related to Experimental Subject No. 1!"
As soon as the screen turned, a strange monster immediately appeared in the projection.
The body of this monster is fixed on a machine tool made of special alloy.
It looked to be as tall as a person, and its whole body was covered with a metal frame similar to an exoskeleton mecha.
Only the head was made of dense white bones, and a blue light flickered at the sternum.
Bei Gong Mu cheered up uncharacteristically and stared solemnly at this weird freak, his eyes full of wariness.
"This is Experimental Subject No. 1..."
Xia Lengling introduced: "The scientific researchers used alloy materials and the remains of the nightmare-level lv7 freak Skull Emperor to create a perfect work!"
"Does this guy have consciousness?" Beigong Mu asked in a deep voice.
"some..."
The person who responded to him was An Gufeng: "Not only is it conscious, but it also has a very special ability. It can control all experimental subjects in the laboratory, even those defective products that are not very successful."
