Chapter 205 Reasonable! Aba Aba
Ruined city, headquarters lobby.
The venue, which was filled with dozens of people, was noisy and chaotic, making it very disturbing.
The conference room separated by a wall was exceptionally quiet. Many people could be seen opening their mouths to say something with serious expressions, but no sound was made.
——A domain-type ability that can prevent peeping and eavesdropping.
Anything produced by Zai Zhe must be top quality, whether it is a coffin or a barrier.
"... In other words, our? Research Institute's products can be used again?"
The gray-haired dean took off his reading glasses tremblingly, wiped them and put them back on. Then, when he saw Boss Lion giving him a bright smile without any gloom, he shuddered.
Since the large-scale beast tide attacked in winter a few months ago, the large-scale defense barrier originally arranged on the front line was destroyed many times by the beast tide due to its imperfect function. In addition, the previous director secretly developed some sealed projects, which angered the base director. All the senior executives in the base research institute were purged. Although the remaining people barely formed the current research institute again, they are always in a state of being honest and focusing on projects behind closed doors, and their presence is very low.
The current dean's surname is Zhou. His personality is completely opposite to the previous dean. He is cautious and timid, rarely attends important occasions, and is an obvious conservative.
But when it comes to the areas they are best at, they will still talk endlessly about them.
"The first generation barrier was built by combining multiple modules deep underground, while the second generation we are currently developing chose mobile splicing. According to experiments, the reason why the first generation barrier is easier to break through at high altitude is that it uses a timed energy transmission setting. In other words, if the energy cannot be smoothly transferred from the underground core area to the high altitude, a [gap] without energy protection will be formed, and the alien beasts with high-altitude flying ability can easily break through this loophole. The second generation we are currently developing adopts the principle of a small barrier, has experience, and has a high fault tolerance rate. In addition, the latest version also introduces northwest and desert technologies..."
Listening to the gray-haired dean's eloquent explanation, Zhang Chun felt a little difficult to follow. The "Northwest Technology" involved made his eyelids jump, and he couldn't help but look at the lion boss who had tilted his head back and pretended to sleep.
Wu Gaoyuan seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and handed him a note. [When you were heading to the desert, a caravan passed by the ruined city in the northwest. We bought a lot of interesting things.]
Zhang Chun: “…”
The first thing that came to mind was that a large team led by the chief priest, supplemented by three or four high-level aliens, plus nearly a hundred spider legions, was eyeing the desert covetously, not only for the research materials centered on the Desert God, but also for the important resources in the desert area. Now, it turns out that there is a team there to gather intelligence on the ruined city?
So, a team from the northwest also appeared in the Aletta Palace in the ocean... Based on past experience, the people from the northwest would most likely not respond to this kind of invitation with an unknown purpose.
...They? What are they going to do?
Zhang Chun couldn't help but frown.
The director of the institute finally finished explaining the principle and sat down contentedly.
Then stood up another middle-aged businessman who was a little younger and looked a bit old-fashioned. His expression was a little strange, more of a kind of resentment. "Everyone, let me summarize the current situation. In short, the gods on the other side of the ocean cannot control the two abilities, so they want a suitable successor, that is, the boy named Yunyan. When he officially inherits the ability of dreams or the ocean, there will be no disaster of floods in the future... Is that what you mean?"
Everyone at the round table nodded.
The middle-aged businessman's face became even worse. "Then why don't you let him inherit? Obviously, he can become a god and save the continent. Why do you choose [Flood Prevention] as the theme of the meeting? It seems as if you would rather floods ravage the earth than let the boy inherit the power of God... Then obviously, he can become a god! Isn't that a good thing? It's a win-win situation?——"
"Excuse me." Zhang Chun raised his hand, his face expressionless, "Are you a superpower?"
"I-I'm not."
The moment he said this, the sight that he had only vaguely felt became stronger. The middle-aged businessman's pupils trembled, and he suddenly realized that those S-level psychics who had been looking up in a daze, playing with their fingers, or even chatting quietly with the people next to them, all stopped their actions and turned their eyes towards him.
Look, observe, evaluate...
All of them exude a certain kind of? A creepy chill.
Zhang Chun frowned: "He's not a superpower..."
"If you're not a superpower, you can't?! You? This is discrimination—" the middle-aged businessman shouted with red face, and his voice became louder and louder because of fear.
Boss Lion woke up from pretending to sleep. Compared with Zhang Chun, he was more suitable for confronting the opposition voices in the ruined city. He interrupted, "If it was discrimination, you would not be standing here and yelling at us now. I remember you. After I dealt with a large group of nobles and wealthy businessmen a few months ago, you used your own brains and means to seize a lot of market share and finally became the leader of the trade alliance, right? Very powerful and smart. If I were you, I would not be able to do what you did. I could not understand business, nor could I analyze market trends. Naturally, I could not empathize with your hard work and troubles. Then, to change it, why would you say something like [Becoming a God is a Good Thing] when you are not a superpowered person? "
The Lion Boss's unusual calmness and seriousness instantly shocked the other party.
The middle-aged businessman's lips trembled, "No, isn't it...?"
"It's death." Zhang Chun took over the topic, and Boss Lion drank some water to moisten his throat, then raised his head and stared blankly again.
"I remember your wife is a superpower. You two are very loving, right?"
Zhang Chun asked calmly, pretending not to hear Xuan Wu's whisper beside him. "How come these two people know about this family? What's the identity and background of this guy?"
When the middle-aged businessman who was several people away heard Zhang Chun mention his wife, he felt uneasy for some reason and nodded cautiously.
Zhang Chun nodded and continued, "Your wife is an A-level psychic. She is expected to break through to S-level in twenty years. If she encounters a major setback or is contaminated by a high concentration of blood crystals, she will most likely lose control."
The middle-aged businessman hurriedly said, "Yes, I know this. It's the information you have disclosed before!"
"Now let me add one more sentence," Zhang Chun looked directly at the businessman opposite him and said word by word, "From another perspective, the state of losing control is the path to becoming a god. The crazier you are, the closer you are to becoming a god. So can you imagine that after going through countless crazy tortures and finally becoming a god, can the person still have human emotions and rationality? By the way, you should have seen the appearance of a psychic losing control, right?"
The middle-aged businessman stopped talking, and his face gradually turned pale.
"It seems you have seen it, so I won't say much. Becoming a god? It's worse than what you remember? "
Zhang Chun pretended not to notice the look in Wu Gaoyuan's eyes, which said "Yun Yan's situation seems to be different," and continued, "I remember you have an eight-year-old son..."
Xuan Wu finally couldn't help whispering and asked, "So? Did you really memorize all the background checks?"
Zhang Chun ignored him as usual and said to the middle-aged businessman who looked a little shaky, "Suppose a wealthy couple from the northwest wanted to adopt your son and intended to transform him into a more powerful alien. What would you choose?"
"Bullshit!" the middle-aged businessman blurted out.
"Very good, it seems you understand. Please take a seat."
"…I feel sorry for my wife and son…"
Zhang Chun motioned the dazed middle-aged businessman to sit down, as if nothing happened, and continued the meeting.
Boss Lion suddenly came to his senses, pointed at the director of the research institute who was shaking his head frantically with a look of fear, and said with a smile: "This guy? This guy is also a non-superpower person, he is very powerful, isn't he? He got this position entirely by relying on his brain."
The gray-haired dean wiped his sweat and said, "It was just luck. Is it all thanks to my colleagues? They are all dead."
The middle-aged businessman sobbed and said he wanted to go home? He had been with his wife during her last few years of lucidity.
Zhang Chun: "...There's no need to be so pessimistic. We are all living well."
"Then, let's summarize the results of the meeting. I will be responsible for opening the mountain, the research institute team will be responsible for setting up the defense barrier, Wu Gaoyuan's team must protect the research institute team throughout the process, the team led by Zai Zhe will continue to deal with the white flowers in the dream world, Xuan Wu's team will go to the edge area to evacuate residents, and Jing Heng will continue to stay at the base headquarters to coordinate the overall response to emergencies. As for the rest, Wan Mingxu, Chu Li, take the teleportation props and follow the dream world team to Yun Yan's side. It's up to you."
Wan Ming remained silent? Xu looked up hesitantly, "I..."
Xuan Wu slapped him hard on the back, using seemingly careless means to forcefully suppress the other party's concerns, "Come on, why do you look weaker than me who stayed up all night? You won't fall down if you walk a little bit, right?"
"……roll."
Zhang Chun looked at Wan Mingxu for a while, then looked at Chu Li who also remained indifferent.
"Can?."
Chu Li made a promise, "But next you have to convince the Ocean God to agree to let us contact Yunyan."
"I know. Then this meeting ends here. Everyone, take a half-hour break, and then invite those from the Sky Church to come in."
After Zhang Chun finished speaking, the first person to stand up was Lion Boss. He stretched his limbs and walked towards the window, "Go out? Let's play——"
"Jing Heng, wait a minute. Let's discuss the core content of the next meeting in advance. Time is running out. It would be best if we could get the people from the Sky Church to open a channel to contact Poseidon before night falls and convince Him..."
The lion boss twisted his neck with a click? , and looked at Zhang Chun, who looked serious? Not joking, for a few seconds, and hurriedly shouted: "... Weiwei! Weiwei! Mo Wei! Help, help! There is a workaholic here, help!!"
Mo Wei was sitting at the conference table, showing no signs of moving. He even mercilessly ignored the screams of Boss Lion and immersed himself in his work in the ruined city. It was obvious that he was also a workaholic.
Zhang Chun listened grimly to the screams echoing in the room, and pulled back the Lion Boss, who had half of his body out of the window trying to escape.
"Why are you yelling? Don't you want to rescue Yun Yan as soon as possible?"
Zhang Chun was unusually irritated and anxious. "Although theoretically it is impossible for the Ocean God to force the rest of his power into Yunyan, but what if? We must know the situation over there as soon as possible!"
Boss Lion scratched his head, "Although, it seems that Yuanyuan is also with Yunyan... Ah, it is said that Yunyan originally seemed to have used the ability to travel through the dream world. The day after the messenger team led by Sawyer arrived at the ruined city and was locked up by me, Yunyan came to the prison where Sawyer was from Huangshi Village. In other words, under normal circumstances, even if he was trapped in the dream, he should not have received any news."
Zhang Chun listened, his expression becoming more serious. "So? It's very likely that there's something wrong with me, right?"
The first thought that came into his mind was divine pollution.
Can't wait any longer?
"Call the members and continue the meeting! Zai Zhe, bring in those people from the Sky Church outside."
Lion Boss: "We? We only rested for five minutes!!"
…
Mysterious island.
Chu Xiuyan stroked his chin, squatted on the beach, and stared at the furry white rabbit in front of him.
The white rabbit with a pair of red eyes was chewing a turtle shell, its hind legs stepping on the sand, looking back innocently at the serious-faced boy.
"Normally, when I say something like 'That cloud looks like a white rabbit', a rabbit shouldn't appear, right?"
Chu Xiuyan said seriously, carefully reaching out his hand to poke the rabbit. It was soft and warm, and it was not an illusion.
He shifted his gaze to the side and asked inquiringly, "It makes sense that there are camels on the island, right?"
The next second, a camel with two humps emerged from the lush woods. It had slightly curly hair and a pair of big eyes staring straight at Chu Xiuyan. Then it walked straight towards him, lowered its head, and wrapped its rough tongue around the boy's hair and tried to chew it.
"…My hair is not food, damn it!"
Chu Xiuyan quickly dodged, "Go? Go? Go?!"
Under his drive, the camel actually gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared on the spot.
Chu Xiuyan: “…”
He opened his eyes little by little.
The expression on his face changes from blank to excited?
"I understand! This is a lucid dream! I was actually hit by a car but I'm still in the hospital for treatment! So that's how it is, I understand! So now, I have to wait for the doctors outside to successfully treat me and then hear people calling my name before I wake up, right?"
Chu Xiuyan said to himself: "But it's a bit lonely to wait alone, so?..."
"It makes sense that there are groups of cats and dogs on the island!"
“It makes sense that there are giraffes and alpacas on the island!”
"It makes sense that there are flying goldfish on the island!... Holy crap, they can actually fly!"
"It makes sense to have another island! Great! Let's open an island amusement park! Let's open another island, great Camisa!!"
"Tyrannosaurus! Velociraptor! Stegosaurus! Dragons that can fly! Dragons that can swim in the sea!"
"Dragon, dragon, dragon! Jurassic Park!!"
