Chapter 144 The unexpected mother mine arrives

[Evolution of Emperor Yanlei], this is the item that Li Ming chose to control, which increases the development speed and improves his basic strength as soon as possible.

Soon, Chen Dahai's house was turned upside down, and some clues were found to confirm the identity of the other party, Huo Zhong.

This incident caused quite a bit of impact, and after several senior executives discussed it, they issued new directives.

In principle, members of the temporary command center are not allowed to be alone with Li Ming and Ford.

If it is necessary to meet alone, a gene suppressor must be worn to prevent accidents.

All outside visitors must wear gene suppressors!

The screening of fire sources has become increasingly strict, especially for members of the temporary command center.

Another seven days passed in full swing.

………

In the Torch's hidden main ship, the leader's projection was looking through the documents and said in a deep voice, "Why is it so slow? They only sent in such a small amount of materials and people."

The subordinate helplessly reported: "Chief, these items are contraband and banned. We have already activated the high-level fire of Xingchuang Company, but it will take time to deliver them bit by bit."

The leader frowned and asked, "Any news on those two secret-level fire seeds?"

"No, we have no way of getting any information from them. I'm afraid they are in great danger."

Hearing this, the leader's face darkened, "Speed ​​up!"

"yes!"

………

"Li Ming is exercising again?"

In the metal corridor of the laboratory, Ford stopped Li Ruoning who was walking towards him and asked.

"Your Highness Ford..." Li Ruoning nodded and greeted him before responding, "Yes, Li Ming is in the training room now."

Upon hearing this, Ford couldn't help but ask, "He used to be like this too, often staying in the training room?"

"Yeah." Li Ruoning smiled bitterly, "Yeah, when he's free, he likes to stay in the training room and rarely even leaves."

This guy is really hardworking, Ford sighed secretly, developing genetic seeds is not a pleasant thing.

"The training room is over there." Li Ruoning wanted to take Ford there, but was rejected.

"I've been here before, I know where it is."

In the training room, Li Ming was shirtless, his strong muscles trembling constantly, sweat pouring down, arcs of electricity and flames rising from the surface of his body from time to time, and he was posing in postures that were difficult for normal living beings to do.

With his eyes closed, [Flame Thunder Emperor Evolution Theory] was also running. He could clearly feel that his cells were extremely active, and electrical energy and thermal energy passed through the cells in a specific pattern, making them in an excited state all the time, and constantly sending out pain and itching.

The exercise method and the theory of evolution are running in his body at the same time. If others saw it, they would definitely be shocked.

At a certain moment, a blazing arc of electricity suddenly exploded from his body, and flames roared all over his body, filling the entire training room. The aura of a high-level predator became even stronger.

After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked to the genetic testing device in the room. After some operation, the numbers popped up.

"60%"

Sure enough, Li Ming grinned, his development progress officially passed the second node.

Since he mastered the [Flame Thunder Evolution Theory], his development system has gained another powerful member.

This theory of evolution can bring about eight times the development progress and replace a C-class gene radiator. This back and forth is equivalent to a six-fold increase.

This brought his development speed back to the terrifying rate of 1% increase per day, of course it would slow down after reaching 60%.

He drank a sip of nutritional potion, and at the same time, the physical exertion brought about by running the theory of evolution was a bit too much for him to bear.

However, during this time, he did discover that the recovery blessing was not only useful for his injuries, but also for his physical strength, or more accurately, for all aspects of his body.

This made him think a lot, and the recovery system might be more important than he thought.

During these seven days, the laboratory was almost cleaned up, and the staff returned to the laboratory one after another from the temporary command post.

The blockade of the star port has also been partially lifted. It is impossible to keep detaining passengers from foreign civilizations.

The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, but the makeshift command post still stands outside.

At the same time, after the last incident, a considerable number of staff members submitted their resignations.

They were really frightened, and Luo Chuan didn't say much. He signed a hefty severance pay for them and the corresponding letter of recommendation.

If they are going to work in another laboratory, letters of recommendation will play a big role.

However, the blockade of the entire experimental island has not been lifted yet, so they cannot leave for the time being.

Li Ming pushed open the door and paused, only to see Ford standing not far away.

"Earl Ford, how come you have time to come to see me?" Li Ming greeted.

Ford's reward has come down. He didn't get the hereditary earl title, but he was given the title of earl. It is said that he was also given a remote planet as a fiefdom.

Ford's face darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I've already got the idea of ​​what you asked me to do."

"Oh." Li Ming didn't continue talking nonsense. When the two of them arrived at his room, Ford continued, "I got four pieces from several collectors. Some of them charged less for my sake."

"It's hard to calculate the exact amount of money spent, but overall, 500 million is definitely enough."

The pain on Ford's face didn't seem fake. Li Ming smiled and said, "Count, the planet is worth every penny."

Ford said coldly: "My father also paid a heavy price for this."

"I understand, I understand." Li Ming said perfunctorily, "When can the things be delivered to me?"

Ford responded, "It's on the way, through Giant Shield, expedited, probably within a week."

"Ha..." Li Ming was quite expectant, and even Ford seemed to be more pleasing to his eyes. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go eat. The cafeteria in our laboratory is pretty good."

"Chef Liu's tiger grouper is a must-try. It's usually only available on Mondays. During this time, he can't go anywhere and can only stay in the kitchen to cook."

Ford's expression changed, but he remained expressionless in the end. He wanted to pretend that he and Li Ming had a good brotherly relationship.

But when I see that smiling face, I remember the time when the other party threatened me, and it feels so awkward.

"I'd better go back to the temporary command post." He didn't want to stay with Li Ming any longer.

Li Ming didn't care. When they went out, they happened to see Li Ruoning standing not far away with an ambiguous look on his face.

"Why are you here?" Li Ming looked at her suspiciously.

"Someone's looking for you. They say it's Sun Jing'an, the regional director of Xingchuang Company." Li Ruoning walked over and responded quickly, "They stopped him outside. Do you want to see him?"

"Regional director of Xingchuang Company?" Li Ming recalled secretly. He had no impression of this person and had never even seen him.

Why did he come to see me?

Ever since he handed over some of the evidence he got from Fu Zongchen to Xunying Company and asked them to deal with Xingchuang Company, he hasn't paid much attention to this aspect.

"Not interested, no meeting." Li Ming shook his head.

"Okay, I'll tell someone outside." Li Ruoning was operating on the smart terminal.

After a moment, she frowned slightly and looked up at Li Ming: "Before leaving, this regional director said that something happened outside and suggested that you pay attention to it."

"Oh?" Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Ford: "What is the specific background of this Xingchuang Company?"

Ford hesitated for a moment and said, "The property of Grand Duke Collier."

"He is also an A-level life form, the Pillar of Itlan." Ford added.

A-level life form, Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

After seeing Ford off, Li Ming opened the smart terminal and first found Huang Jianzhong, the regional director of Xunying Company.

"Li Ming..." As soon as the call was connected, Li Ming noticed the fatigue in Huang Jianzhong's tone.

Did something really happen?

Li Ming probed, "I heard your company hasn't been doing well lately."

"Alas..." Huang Jianzhong sighed and said helplessly, "It's more than just bad luck, it's simply bad luck."

No way, the evidence is all hitting you in the face, and you still haven’t taken down Xingchuang Company?

Li Ming complained in his heart, while listening to Huang Jianzhong say: "We planned to proceed step by step, and we were about to bring down Xingchuang Company."

"But who knew that Blue Star launched a large-scale investigation and discovered that our Xunying Company had secretly smuggled a group of Torch people."

"You still dare to have contact with Torch?" Li Ming was quite surprised when he heard this.

"How is that possible?" Huang Jianzhong said firmly, gritting his teeth. "That was all done by the people below. I had no idea. In fact, the people below didn't know either. They just stuffed a few people in when transporting the goods. I thought they were just smuggling, but who knew it was Torch's people?"

"Because of this incident, all our business activities have been suspended."

"Although most of Xingchuang's assets have been frozen, they must have taken a breather. They will definitely use this as an excuse to crush us."

The chain reaction caused by the torch brought disaster to Xunying Company. It turned out that Sun Jingan was here to show off his power to me.

Li Ming was also a little speechless, but then he said: "Is Xingchuang Company so clean? Don't they have people who secretly make money like this?"

"It seems, really not." Huang Jianzhong hesitated, "I don't know the specific situation."

No? Li Ming sneered.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Is that all?"

"Hmm..." Huang Jianzhong pondered, "There's nothing else serious, but your little brother, Zhang Huaiyuan, was tricked by Xingchuang Company and was beaten badly."

"Don't you know?"

"Zhang Huaiyuan didn't tell me." Li Ming shook his head and didn't talk to him too much. He turned around and looked for Zhang Huaiyuan again.

"Brother Li..." Zhang Huaiyuan's voice was hoarse.

"Were you beaten by Xingchuang Company? What happened?" Li Ming asked directly.

Zhang Huaiyuan hesitated, "It's not a big deal. My father worked with Xunying Company on Silver Ash Star and ruined a lot of their business. They were just trying to teach me a lesson."

"The injury wasn't serious, so I didn't tell you."

Li Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Come over tomorrow."

He thought for a moment, then found Li Ruoning and said, "If Sun Jingan comes again tomorrow, let him in."

Li Ruoning didn't know what he was thinking about, hesitant to speak, and wrote it down in his memo.

Sure enough, the next day, Sun Jingan came again.

At nine o'clock in the morning, I arrived at the laboratory door, ready to go through layers of testing.

"Except for him, no one else is allowed to enter." The armored guard stopped the other entourage. The assistant beside Sun Jingan glared at him, "Why can't we enter? We've already been tested."

"Either you go in alone, or everyone goes back." The guard wore an alloy helmet, and the glass windows of his eyes were also ink-colored. His tone was cold.

"You guys wait here, I'll go in by myself." Sun Jingan didn't care until the other party took out the gene inhibitor, and his face darkened.

"He's wearing this thing?" The assistant asked in disbelief. "This guy's the regional director of Star Creation, not a criminal!"

"If you want to see either Li Ming or Ford, you must wear it." The guard said in a cold tone: "Or go back."

Sun Jingan hesitated for a moment and said calmly, "Then take it with you. No one dares to kill me in here."

This is not a shackle-style gene inhibitor, which would be too ugly. It is just attached to the back of Sun Jingan's neck and attached to the spine.

After putting on the gene suppressor, his body felt weak. This feeling made him very uncomfortable. He tugged at his collar, and even the alloy box in his hand became heavier.

"Let me hold it for you."

A guard led Sun Jing'an into the tightly sealed experimental island. His eyes flickered as he looked around, but he was scolded:

"Don't look around or ask around. If you enter the red-lined areas, you can be shot on the spot."

"The final right of interpretation belongs to both the Yitlan Civilization and the Blue Star Civilization."

Sun Jing'an nodded and looked away, but someone called out, "Director Sun?"

He stopped, looked around, and asked in surprise, "Duke Bai Ye?"

The man who came was none other than Duke Bai Ye, wearing a green cloak. He walked with the wind blowing in his face. The two seemed to be familiar with each other. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see Li Ming," Sun Jing'an explained. Duke Bai Ye seemed to be lost in thought, then said in a deep voice, "This is the regional director of Xingchuang Company. How could you treat him like this?"

"Untie it quickly."

The guard shook his head: "Your Excellency, this is an order. Anyone who meets with Li Ming and His Highness Ford alone must wear a gene suppressor."

Duke Bai Ye looked unhappy, and Sun Jingan shook his head secretly. Being the Duke of Sera didn't have much status on Blue Star.

He came to the rescue and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since it is a rule, we must abide by it."

Duke Bai Ye exchanged a few words with him and agreed to have a meal after Sun Jing'an met Li Ming, and then they went their separate ways.

The guard sent him to the laboratory door, and then Li Ruoning took over.

At the same time, in the reception room, Zhang Huaiyuan looked haggard, completely different from the ambitious look he had when he met Huang Jianzhong.

"Brother Li, I'm sorry...I've troubled you." He whispered.

"Don't tell me you're sorry." Li Ming poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. Zhang Huaiyuan took it with both hands, his face full of shame: "I thought it was too simple."

"They are all old foxes. You are lucky you didn't get eaten. Their target is me." Li Ming said, "You are just an innocent victim."

"I understand." Zhang Huaiyuan knew this very well. He was no threat to Xingchuang Company. He was just a small fry.

There was a knock on the door and it was pushed open. Li Ruoning turned sideways and behind her was Sun Jingan, which immediately made Zhang Huaiyuan's face tense.
