The old man's chest was covered with medals, indicating his extraordinary status. His angry slamming of the table made the atmosphere in the meeting room tense once again.

His gaze was piercing, fixed intently on Du Zhiyuan opposite him.

“I didn’t want to interfere in your fighting, but you shouldn’t have set your sights on supplies.”

Even a three-year-old child can understand now that supplies are the means to survive and their hope!

Du Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with panic again. He stammered, wanting to explain.

"Old Wei, I..."

The old man, however, did not agree and, not wanting to hear his explanation, raised his hand to stop him.

"You don't need to explain, I only look at the evidence."

Du Zhiyuan's hands, resting on his knees, clenched involuntarily.

What does this old man mean? Hasn't he always been a centrist? Is he trying to interfere?

At this critical moment, it is absolutely unacceptable.

As Du Zhiyuan was pondering how to respond, he saw the old man turn his head, look at everyone present, and then say:

"Everyone here is a smart person, and I don't need to explain the benefits of healthy internal competition."

But! The premise for allowing these to occur is! National interest! The greater good of the people comes first!

"No one, no matter, can be overstepped under any pretext!"

Old Master Wei's status was once comparable to that of the Lu family patriarch.

If it weren't for the fact that he was wounded on the battlefield and had remained single ever since, there would now be the Wei family, which is on par with the Lu family.

Even though he was retired before the apocalypse, his position in the management team was still significant.

With irrefutable evidence before him and Elder Wei's statement, Du Zhiyuan, despite his dissatisfaction, reluctantly admitted his mistake at the meeting.

Du Zhiyuan's attitude was 'sincere,' saying, 'I acted rashly in this matter...'

He reluctantly admitted his mistake, hoping to let the matter drop and make a big deal out of it.

After all, he didn't manage to intercept that batch of supplies, did he?

Besides, the transmitter was already ready, and he didn't interfere.

Seeing that many neutrals were about to be 'fooled' by Du Zhiyuan, You Su noticed the smugness in Du Zhiyuan's eyes and felt disdain.

At this moment, one of You Su's men knocked on the door, brought in a thick stack of documents from outside, placed them on the table in front of Lu Zheng, and whispered a few words in Lu Zheng's ear.

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, signaling the others to leave. He then glanced at You Su before lowering his head to pick up the documents and begin to carefully review them.

As if receiving a signal instantly, You Su looked at Du Zhiyuan, her tone becoming even more sarcastic.

Oh, right~

"Deputy Base Commander, now that the materials submitted by Yu Wanling have begun to be studied, shouldn't we send more researchers?"

If the previous incidents were like scratching the surface of Du Zhiyuan's body, then You Su's words now are like a pair of sharp claws, heading straight for his heart!

The things Yu Wanling handed over were his hope for a comeback!

He suddenly looked up, his eyes reddening.

"Yusu! Don't go too far!"

Yusu remained unfazed by his anger.

"Deputy Base Commander, please don't get agitated. We're just looking out for the timeline. How many people are in your lab? We have so many top-notch teams behind us, ready to go at any moment. If we can develop this solution sooner, it might alleviate our current predicament. That's a good thing!"

As Yu Su spoke, he suddenly looked surprised and puzzled.

"Deputy Base Commander!"

He opened his mouth wide, then exaggeratedly tried to cover it with his hand, but the sound continued to come out.

"You're not planning to pocket it, are you?!"

This blatant attempt to cover one's ears while stealing a bell is incredibly brazen.

Regarding Yu Wanling's matter, both sides are keeping it relatively secret. There were many people present who did not know the specifics.

As soon as Yu Su mentioned it, someone asked about it.

"Is there any new discovery?"

Why haven't we received any messages?

Even Elder Wei looked at You Su. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes clearly said, "You've explained things clearly."

Lu Zheng had instructed You Su to bring up the matter at the meeting, and he no longer intended to conceal it. He began to recount:

"Yu Wanling was a military doctor in the Second Military Region before the apocalypse, and now she belongs to the Medical Department."

"You should all have heard about what happened a few days ago when she accidentally pulled out a lifebuoy from the medical department."

"The life-saving ball is made of a special material, one we've never seen before. It can withstand attacks from supernatural beings..."

As Lu Zheng was speaking, Lu Jin'an and You Su distributed the materials that Lu Zheng had just reviewed to everyone present, including Du Zhiyuan.

After Du Zhiyuan saw the contents and found that they were exactly the same as what he knew, he almost instinctively turned his head to look at his assistant Xin Yue beside him.

It must be this traitor who leaked this information!

Sensing a malice that seemed intent on tearing him apart, Xin Yue looked up to meet Du Zhiyuan's gaze and gave a faint smile.

Well, congratulations on guessing correctly, but there's no reward.

Du Zhiyuan was so angry that he rolled his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.

The presence of that special product in Yu Wanling's hand caused a stir in the conference room.

"Is this real?!"

Didn't she say who the manufacturer was?

"Could it be an alien artifact?"

"Can we find this material? Can we manufacture it?"

······

Suddenly, a host of problems arose.

Lu Zheng had the answers he got from Li Xin'er, and he answered all these questions without hiding anything.
