In a secret meeting room somewhere, several people in military uniforms were holding a meeting with serious expressions.
Suddenly, Zhao Jing's cell phone rang, and everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to him.
Zhao Jing was the liaison between that person and them. There was no one else who could call at this time except that person. Zhao Jing just looked at the screen of his mobile phone and nodded.
General Wu, who was sitting at the top, made a hushing gesture and then motioned him to answer the phone.
After pressing the hands-free button, the conference room suddenly fell silent, leaving only the voices of Zhao Jing and the person opposite him.
After Zhao Jing answered the call, he only said a polite word, and the person on the other end began to state their requests continuously.
Zhao Jing could only listen and take notes. After the other party stopped, he repeated it again:
"Mr. An, the resources you need will be delivered as soon as possible. But why do we need a group of construction workers this time, especially those with experience in large-scale construction?"
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Don't worry about it. I have my own uses. You will know when the time comes."
After saying that, the other party asked them to prepare as soon as possible and hung up the phone.
Zhao Jing's face was full of anger, no longer the respectful look he had just had.
He was using speakerphone when he answered the phone, and everyone heard the request from the person on the other end.
General Wu asked, "What does he want to do this time? Why does he suddenly need so many senior construction workers?"
Someone thought for a moment and said, "They asked for so many technical secrets before, and now they suddenly ask for so many special senior construction workers."
The man touched his mouth, feeling something was wrong. "Could it be that he knows about our secret underground base?"
General Wu frowned, "There's been no movement from Taoist Xuanyi, which proves that he hasn't come into contact with anyone else. Shouldn't he know?"
Zhao Jing shook his head and looked at the list of demands he had written down. "Generals, I think he must have known something. Otherwise, this situation would be too abnormal."
"Although he also wanted resources before, he only wanted some special ores he mentioned."
"This time, not only did they ask for special large-scale construction workers, but they also asked me to deliver some tools, including tools for various trades."
General Wu asked, "Do you suspect he knows about our underground base construction and is deliberately trying to harass us?"
"Are you asking for those special construction workers to reduce our manpower?"
General Wu also heard the voice on the other end of the phone. The other party had a lot of requirements. It sounded like they wanted to build some special large-scale building. However, almost all the large-scale construction workers with names in the country were urgently recruited to work on underground fortifications.
At this point, his expression became serious: "Maybe he called to warn us?"
A hot-tempered general slammed the table and exclaimed, "This is simply lawless!"
"Isn't he just a little knowledge of some immortal cultivation thing? What's so great about that? If he really wants to piss us off, we can just fire a cannonball at him! If we can't fire it once, I don't believe he can escape even if we aim all the cannonballs at him!"
Others also expressed their dissatisfaction. They were really fed up with each other in the past two years. This special meeting room was established because of each other.
The ordinary man named An Jingzhi was originally just an ordinary college student. After disappearing for two years, he suddenly reappeared and transformed himself into an immortal cultivator.
No one believed it at first, but after the other party showed off their tricks several times, they had to believe it.
The year the other party disappeared was also the year they confirmed that the Blue Water Planet had been targeted by alien life.
They originally thought that this sudden change would be the key to their breakthrough. No matter what resources the other party wanted or how outrageous their demands were, they had to accept them.
But the problem is that the other party is like a Pixiu, only taking in and not giving out. He asks for all kinds of resources, but always makes excuses when asked to help with anything, saying that he wants to practice in seclusion.
"General Wang is right. No matter how powerful his cultivation is, I don't believe that artillery shells can be completely ineffective against him! What the hell is this! Can we, as a country, really let a brat ride on our necks and shit on us?!"
Listening to everyone blaming each other, General Wu suddenly shouted, "Okay, stop complaining."
"Now is not the time to vent your emotions."
"Don't you think I don't want to deal with him?" A general who has led troops in battles all his life can only be confined to an office, thinking about that man's behavior every day, and having to flatter and coax him. Isn't he aggrieved?
"Do you know how many tricks he has? How can we be so sure that a few shells will kill him? If he doesn't die, how much trouble will it cause us?"
At this stage, almost all major countries with satellites know that the Blue Water Planet has been targeted by aliens. Everyone tacitly keeps this news secret for fear of causing trouble.
Putting aside other issues, if they didn't kill the other party and the other party went out and talked nonsense, could they catch him with his abilities?
If an ordinary person says something, they can ask the Internet police for help, but is that person an ordinary person?
Another thing is that the other party is very capable, and even Taoist Xuanyi has not figured out his bottom line yet.
What if the other party is not killed and turns around to seek revenge on them? They have not been able to deal with an enemy hidden deep in the starry sky, and now they are making another enemy for themselves. This is definitely not a wise choice.
What's more, although several countries have now formed a joint department, which ostensibly involves information sharing and mutual resource assistance, in reality everyone has their own ideas.
They also didn't want to offend this person and force him into another camp, where he would become a weapon against them.
They would never take that step unless it was absolutely necessary.
Everyone present here is aware of these principles. General Wang, who was the most cheerful one just now, was silenced by General Wu's words.
"This kid was born an orphan, and he was able to grow up safely and go to college thanks to national policies. You said he clearly had this opportunity, so it would be fine if he didn't contribute, but why didn't he make things difficult for us?"
"Before, we had to spend all our energy preparing for war and building fortifications to leave ourselves a retreat. After he came back, our situation not only didn't get better, but it became even more troublesome. We have to be on guard every day against those people from abroad who might come into contact with him."
"Every one of his demands is more outrageous than the last, but we have no choice but to agree to them. Otherwise, he'll be coaxed away by those foreigners. He's just so confident."
After the person who was being criticized finished talking to Zhao Jing, he started drawing a building plan in his own practice room.
This world is more complicated than he imagined.
After receiving the original owner's memory, An Jingzhi discovered that the original owner had an opportunity because of the space-time wormhole accidentally opened by the alien positioning signal.
