"Do you think I don't dare to press it? Since we have the ability to develop entropy weapons, we naturally have a way to throw it directly into the Unjust City."

The atmosphere once again fell into a strange awkwardness, with both sides refusing to give in and remaining deadlocked.

"How about we both discuss our respective conditions?" Jack sighed. "You're giving me a headache."

The current situation is quite different from the war between us and Yari.

The battle between Steel Dome and Yari mainly takes place in space, so both sides have fewer restrictions on the use of cutting-edge weapons and can fight to the death.

If Cat Tail's Entropy Warriors were on the spaceship, Steel Dome would have a hundred ways to deal with them, but the current situation is that they are on the ground and too close to Injustice City.

"I should be the one having this headache. Don't you have star destroyers capable of destroying planets?"

"We're back to square one with this conversation, Miss Chu."

Destroying a planet for a cat-tail company? That price is too high, not worth it.

The current situation between the two sides is that both sides have the means to threaten each other, but no one dares to press the button first.

"Then I'll tell you my conditions." Chu Yao sat up straight.

"First, the lifting of the seal on Maowei Company must not affect the normal operation of Maowei.

Second, cease the persecution of Maowei employees and the restrictions on their personal freedom. Finally, withdraw your personnel from East Fourth District. From today on, this area will become the private domain of Maowei Company!"

The words and sentences used in Chu Yao are not overly embellished, but they clearly express their meaning.

Jack was silent for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons, and then spoke in a deep voice:

"I can order the cancellation of the operation against Maowei. In return, we also have our conditions."

He glanced around and saw that many low-ranking officers and soldiers understood and quickly left the room, leaving only a few people in the room.

Jack turned his gaze to Shen Yu. Now he believed that this weird guy from Xinghui was really here to mediate. “Mr. Shen, can you step aside for a while?”

"Are you starting to chase people away now? Fine, fine, I'll leave. Don't fight without me around." Chen Yu stood up slowly, lighting a cigarette and walking towards the door.

"There's nothing wrong with them both." Chu Yao was referring to Yao Han and Gu Yue.

Jack also left two senior officers with him, who seemed to be his confidants. Now there were only six of them left.

"My condition is to hand over the research data you obtained from Feldman." Jack crossed his hands on the table. "Don't play dumb, Miss Chu Ye. We know exactly what you did on the island in the Yaxiu Sea."

"Your scientists at Steel Dome are still passionate about the study of psychic energy." Chu Yao probed calmly.

"You're the company president, and I'm the planetary governor, but ultimately, we're both ordinary people. There are some things ordinary people can't interfere with. Believe me, this is a restricted area... Matters involving psychic powers are of no benefit to ordinary people."

Ordinary people... I believed your nonsense.

However, it seems that his identity as a cultivator has not been exposed. This should be the work of Yu Chen.

Chu Yao heard tons of information from Jack's words: "In other words, you were also under pressure?"

"I can agree to withdraw my troops, or I can hand over the East Fourth District to you, or even give the ownership of the main wasteland to Maowei... Of course, this is based on the consideration of maintaining relative safety for both of us.

But Fehrman's research materials, the Steel Dome, cannot be lost. I cannot afford the consequences. This thing is far more important than you and I can imagine."

Compared with before, Jack's attitude seemed extremely sincere.

"In a way... it's more important than Lingyuan Star. To some people at Headquarters, if destroying Lingyuan Star can get Feldman's research back, they will definitely choose to do so."

"Have you told me too much?" Chu Yao was puzzled. "Maowei has no intention of joining Gangqiong."

"Just to emphasize, I'm not interested in poaching Xinghui's people." Jack spread his hands. "After all, I just want to protect Lingyuan. This is my responsibility as the general manager."

"I see."

Chu Yao pondered for a moment, then a mysterious smile appeared on his face:

"I can agree to your terms, but—it has to be in installments."

——

The negotiations lasted a whole day. With the remote support of Yao Han, Gu Yue and the base think tank, Chu Yao and Jack signed various treaties.

The most important one is called the "Non-Aggression Treaty between Cattail and Steel Dome", referred to as the "Wasteland Peace Treaty".

Its compilation was based on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which had appeared in the history of the Celestial Being.

From the date when the Wasteland Peace Treaty came into effect, the area of ​​the eastern twenty districts of the wasteland west of the third continent's urban cluster became the independent property of the Maowei Company, which enjoyed all the ruling and jurisdiction rights.

At this point, a deterrence mechanism was established between Maowei Company, which owns Entropy Weapon, and Steel Dome.

The first layer of deterrence is the high-risk weapons in the hands of both sides that are capable of flattening each other's cities.

The second layer of deterrence is Fehrman’s psychic research data in Chu Yao’s hands.

She wasn't stupid enough to return all of it to Steel Dome. After a tense negotiation that nearly escalated the conflict, the two sides agreed on a deadline.

ten years.

Chu Yao divided Feldman's research into several parts and returned them to Steel Dome in batches over a period of ten years.

Ten years is already the limit, and this is the result of the joint efforts of everyone at Maowei.
