Since Taiyang Company released this kind of news on its own, it can no longer be regarded as an example of Wu Ming on its own side.
Kongté was previously the leader of the medium-sized mercenary gang "Borderless Organization", and he was in charge of three formations. Because his long-term collaborator Mateo has been eliminated, and Kongté himself has gone to become a gangster, the Borderless Organization has become very difficult.
It's about to fall apart, but there's still an empty shell left that can be used.
Borrowing their mercenary group identification codes from the Borderless Organization, Xu Yang, Lila and A40 transformed themselves into a mercenary team, put on thick disguises and prepared to set off.
Xu Yang has his own dressing style. He wears a long-sleeved black plastic dust-proof windbreaker and a blood-red ghost mask, which has been treated with anti-scanning to make him look even more mysterious. He wears a long-sleeved printed shirt underneath to block the close-fitting nano armor.
, wearing leather trousers and black sneakers, like a street ghost-faced ronin.
Lila dressed up as an intellectual first responder in the field, wearing an old-fashioned Thai military cap, a white cloak, and a ceramic mask. The original human head was placed in a portable medical kit and followed Xu Yang. A40 was carrying it.
The knife leads the way.
As a result, a decent mercenary group was formed. Kong Tai's "boundless organization" had rich resumes, detailed files, and no faults could be found. Then Xu Yang contacted Taiyang Company and asked to take over the commission.
Taiyang Company is in dire straits due to the theft of golden branches, and now it has to place its hopes on mercenaries.
When we arrived at the company on Yuzhong Avenue, it looked a bit dilapidated. The company had obviously been severely damaged by the previous rat infestation. Its campus roughly consists of three buildings: the main office building, the warehouse and the laboratory. Now the warehouse has been completely destroyed.
In order to level the ground, repair drones kept shuttling in the sky, and a medium-sized tower crane kept moving and delivering materials. The repair work was very busy and roaring.
There was already someone waiting at the door to greet you.
This is a company man with a serious expression and a stereotyped expression. He has short hair and his eyeballs have been replaced with prosthetic eyes. They are dark blue. He subconsciously scanned Xu Yang and his group, but was blocked by Xu Yang quietly and fed back.
The information was all false information carefully prepared by Xu Yang. His right hand was a cold mechanical hand. He seemed not to want to use this hand to shake Xu Yang, so he stretched out his left hand. Xu Yang did not take it seriously and shook his hand with his left hand.
"I'm very sorry." The company person said, Kyoto Unlimited locals usually start communication with an apology, "I am Nohara Masato from Taiyang Biotech. I am honored to meet the members of the famous 'Infinite Organization'. I really hope that you can help us regain the
The Lost 'Golden Bough'."
"Please lead the way, please." Xu Yang responded politely. Although they didn't really want to do anything when they came here specially, they still had to do superficial things.
"Taiyang Biology has always been committed to researching life technology and improving human living conditions." Nohara Masato led them through the company courtyard. Poorly programmed robots shuttled on the road, forcing them to squeeze sideways. A40 stared at those
The engineering robots looked like they were going to kill them.
"Many of the products launched by your company are very famous." Xu Yang used his digital mind to search for information.
Taiyang Biotech is well-known in Aizu City. It mainly produces pharmaceuticals and also develops some human body enhancement mixtures. Its dominant product "Natsu no Maru" can make people physically strong and energetic, but it can make people addicted because of the added
The ingredients of the stamps have been revealed, which is obviously the style of a sinister enterprise.
"We try our best to make profits with integrity." Nohara Masato is proud of Taiyang Bio's achievements, "However, thieves visited our backyard and stole our important production raw materials."
"It must have been during the rat tide," Xu Yang said.
"Indeed," Nohara Masato admitted, "we were busy evacuating at that time, and the laboratory was breached."
"We are deeply sorry that this happened." Xu Yang said patiently, "We are a responsible team and will definitely try our best to recover the items. However, please take us to the location where the stolen items were last stored, so that we can
Only then can we learn relevant clues.”
"Aren't the defense facilities working?" A40 asked urgently, "Is there a particularly powerful enemy coming that can't be stopped by the guards you left behind?"
"No, no..." Nohara Masato was a little surprised by the momentum of the A40, "...it seems to have arrived through covert operations."
Entering the depths of the laboratory, the air conditioner was turned on very low. Xu Yang could feel the chill in the air, so he turned up the temperature control system of the nano armor.
I didn't see anyone from other companies on the way, and it seemed that the entire company hadn't restarted work yet.
Walking through the metal corridor, Xu Yang noticed that Taiyang Company stored each experimental product in a separate metal space, deliberately storing them separately, and requiring complicated procedures for entry and exit.
Through the glass curtain wall, you can see cutting-edge experimental equipment and protected objects. Some resemble malformed embryos, some resemble blackened tumors that have been cut out, and some are shaped like small cubs, which cannot be said to be similar to any animal.
This is the structure of a large asylum, and the "golden branch" is just one of the many weirdnesses in Taiyang's biological collection.
Xu Yang was curious about whether Taiyang Company had collected other ancient relics. Sensing the prying eyes of outsiders, Nohara Masato felt uneasy and secretly sent a message to close the glass curtain walls of the major containment areas. The iron curtain slowly lowered to block sight.
This little trick couldn't stop Xu Yang. He silently connected to the cameras and terminals in each containment area and collected information while watching the objects inside.
According to the collection and analysis of intelligence in the archives and containment areas, it turns out that Taiyang Biological Company has been conducting secret human experiments, and the root cause is Jin Zhi.
They had already investigated that golden branches had the ability to change the landscape and increase plant yields, and they tried to transplant this power to humans.
After ten years of research, they conducted tens of thousands of experiments. Many desperate citizens of Aizu City signed voluntary experiment contracts. After being implanted with the power of the golden branch, most of them broke out with strong rejection reactions and died suddenly.
On the dark underground operating table.
The result is now the company's important product "Summer Pill", which mixes the power of golden branches with the addictive formula of stamps. It takes the meaning of the ripeness of summer crops and makes people feel strong, but it will also be contaminated by the power of golden branches.
Give birth to the roots of a tree.
According to Taiyang Company's budget, users who take it will die within 5 to 10 years. In addition, due to the stamp content in it, once people purchase it, they can't help but increase the dose and keep eating, accelerating the process.
The most important thing is that once a person dies, Golden Bough derivatives will be produced on the human body, that is, Golden Boughs can achieve self-replication through nutrients from the human body.
At that time, Taiyang Company can recycle the precious golden branch replicas and continue to expand the scale of research. This company's obsession with golden branches can be seen.
Now that the precious original golden branches have been stolen, how can they not be extremely anxious? If Xiazhiwan loses raw materials and stops production, the company's operations will be unsustainable.
Xu Yang felt disgusted with such a despicable company. For the sake of business interests, he was almost crazy.
Arriving at the end of the laboratory, where the golden branches were stored, Xu Yang saw that the contents were gone and surrounded by a large puddle of water.
"Water?" Xu Yang frowned, "Why is it all water?"
"Sorry, it turned out to be a large bulletproof glass cover." Masato Nohara shook his head, "But by the time we returned to the company, it had turned into water."
Xu Yang closed his eyes and analyzed the locations of the surrounding cameras and security facilities. He found no blind spots. Every road was blocked by at least four defense machine guns and a set of smart sniper rifles.
Taiyang Company still spent a lot of effort to protect Jinzhi, thinking it was very safe here.
Um……
Xu Yang learned about the situation from Masato Nohara and learned the approximate time when the golden branch was stolen. He then worked backwards from this and secretly downloaded the video at that time. At the same time, he multitasked and used the power of the processor to analyze it and search for clues.
"...That's it. According to the analysis of the security personnel we hired, the other party probably carried anti-scanning implants and optical camouflage equipment," Masato Nohara explained, "But in the end, we are certain that the container suddenly turned into water.
Those who received the alarm were just that the Rat Men were everywhere at that time and were unable to go back and check."
"I understand." Xu Yang nodded. He used the built-in mailbox to send a message to Lila. Lila also reported that she had collected important information.
"There is magic left." Lila sent a text message. "It has a unique nature. It is suspected that a reality manipulator stole the golden branch."
"I hacked the data reports of all the sensors and cameras that day," Xu Yang also replied, "The work here is almost over, let's go back."
Lila closed her eyes and felt the surrounding situation, constantly collecting key information, and then nodded slightly.
In order to act for Masato Nohara, Xu Yang pretended to be looking for information everywhere, but in fact he was just wandering around.
"We can do it." After it was over, Xu Yang said to Nohara Masato, "Actually, after the preliminary exploration, I already have an idea. Can we be allowed to return to our base first, and wait until the intelligence analysis is completed?
Contact you?"
"Yes, of course." Nohara Masato's eyes lit up. The teams that came before said they couldn't do it, but this "boundless organization" rekindled his hope of retrieving the golden branch.
Golden branches, golden branches... Nohara Masato kept imagining the beautiful golden branches growing into huge golden trees, taking root and sprouting from Aizu, and destroying Anku City.
As long as the entire residents of Aizu City become the host of the Golden Bough, Aizu City will become a hotbed for the reincarnation of the Lord of the Forest. The meaning of this dirty and small city is to be dedicated to a greater existence. Think of this
, Nohara Masato's face showed a look of ecstasy.
Success is imminent, as long as the golden branches are retrieved - the parasites who took the medicine of summer and turned into tree-growing dependents...
Until Xu Yang and his party were sent away, Nohara Masato still felt happy from the bottom of his heart. He lowered his head and stared at his robot hand. Under the camouflaged metal skin, not only had it turned into a tree, but it was also crawling with insects.
After walking far away, Lila looked back in the direction of Masato Nohara, thoughtfully.
