Chapter 40
"Can I know about your current condition?" Shen An sat on the small sofa, clasped his hands, rested his elbows on his legs, and leaned forward slightly.
Under the automatic defense mechanism of his body, he subconsciously adopted a more alert posture.
Shen Jian glanced at Shen An's unconsciously tensed body, supported his head without much concern, and hummed.
Sometimes, when he saw his subordinates unconsciously making various vigilant movements due to pressure, he would observe and record them. For example, the last time Shen Pingyan was frightened to the point that his soul floated away, Shen Jian admired it with great interest for a while.
Of course, Shen Jian would only appreciate the stressful alertness he brought to his subordinates. He thought it was quite interesting and was the only entertainment in his boring life of working at least twenty hours a day.
Shen Jian finished recalling with a smile, and just as he was about to respond to Shen An's words, he suddenly woke up.
It seemed like he had just said a few days ago that he was a normal person? His state just now was not very normal, right? It seemed that he had completely turned into an evil capitalist who was making fun of his subordinates.
The young man was silent for two seconds, then quickly and skillfully turned his thoughts around and looked directly at Shen An.
"A rough course of treatment." Shen Jian said calmly, "The Middle Ages was the creator of the virus, and Wu Yan Tower provided the equipment for the Middle Ages."
The young man calmly looked at Shen An's face, which froze for a moment, "To be precise, he provided the instrument to the Middle Ages. Let me think, looking at your current stalemate, it should be that he passed it over to the Middle Ages?"
Chen An's index finger moved slightly, trying to maintain his usual smile, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. After hesitating for a long time, he murmured: "Boss... Actually, just... just do nothing."
"He just didn't prevent the medieval invasion of the Tower of Invincibility."
The leader just remained silent as usual in the room filled with only blood and black. He condoned the audacity of the Middle Ages, condoned the release of viruses in the Middle Ages, condoned the attack on civilians in the Middle Ages, and his eyes were dead silent, just like the boy's.
"Only." Shen Jian repeated the word expressionlessly and pulled the corners of his mouth.
“If you really thought so, you wouldn’t have built the Ark.” Shen Jian indifferently lifted the curtain covering the stage and watched Shen An’s face turn as pale as lime.
Shen Jian looked at it quietly for two seconds, then turned his eyes to the side and picked up the teacup.
Xu Yinmo just said that in the later stages of the disaster, everyone will find out that they are good people. What's more, Wu Yan Tower... an organization whose leader's position is biased towards civilians.
Shen Jian could almost imagine the Wuyan Tower in this world torn between being loyal and saving the world.
To be honest, Shen Jian still has a sense of guilt: he knows very well that at least his soul is not the child of any Shen Jian in this world, so now Shen An is not pledging allegiance to the original owner's child, but performing a preparatory ceremony before pledging allegiance to another person.
However, the current Chen Jian can also be called the Chen Jian of this world, so they are actually not quite the same as simply changing a leader.
In short, although all the cadres and direct descendants of Wuyan Tower are now struggling with whether to clearly change their direct object of loyalty, it is obvious that one of the candidates for the object of loyalty is even more weird than them.
It's a strange feeling, as if you've taken away someone else's puppy, but not completely taken away so that only a few hairs are left (...).
He was not prepared to appreciate the pain and loneliness of his subordinates, who were like dogs caught in the rain. Even if it was just his imagination, this guy would soon...
Shen Jian frowned and reluctantly swallowed a mouthful of coffee.
Chen An lowered his eyes and slightly adjusted his movements, making his entire face fall into the shadows. "I still feel that I have betrayed the master, although the distance between me and the boss is now decided by the boss himself."
Shen Jian couldn’t help but smile.
"I know." Shen Jian said, with a very subtle and strange feeling of teaching someone else's puppy a lesson, "But he is not your first boss, or rather, you directly abandoned him..."
“There is no way that Wu Yan Tower can betray Shen Jian.”
This was the first time Shen An interrupted Shen Jian. He didn't look offended, but simply explained, "No matter which Shen Jian it is, no one can betray any Shen Jian."
Shen Jian paused for a moment.
"Even if you no longer agree with this simple ideology?"
Shen An quickly answered.
"Even if we no longer agree with this simple ideology."
Shen An and Shen Jian were in a stalemate. Xu Yinmo glanced at them casually and lazily changed to a more comfortable position.
Shen Jian retracted his gaze and casually glanced at the lamps, decorations, and tasseled curtains.
A chivalrous spirit unique to Wuyan Tower.
Unreasonable loyalty...but the object of loyalty is him.
Shen Jian sighed slightly.
The air no longer flows.
The young man changed his posture lightly in the room where you could hear a pin drop, and did not respond.
He pressed his back against the soft back of the sofa, rubbed his left hand backwards, and as expected, he found a small chip at the back foot of the sofa.
Xu Yinmo raised his eyes and shrugged nonchalantly.
The young man crushed the chip and pressed it between his index finger and thumb. There was a crisp cracking sound, and the chip broke into two pieces at the flash of cold light.
Shen Jian casually threw it on the ground, his arm resting on the armrest and hanging down, "Don't put this thing next time."
The purple-haired admiral snorted and did not comment.
But Shen An knew very well that the other party had listened, otherwise it would be impossible for him to watch Shen Jian smash the chip.
To be honest, it's quite expensive. In today's world where resources are almost completely exhausted, a completely invisible chip that detects nerve jump frequency without direct contact can be exchanged for almost a dozen Ti vaccines.
A coloring card that plots the frequency of nerve beats can be used to fundamentally profile a person's personality, which is equivalent to analyzing the person as if he were a machine from all angles.
When Shen Jian sat down, he noticed something was wrong. This only sofa was obviously prepared for him, but the wood was very new, so new that it was not normal.
But Shen Jian thought about it and decided that one should have a bottom line. If he let others spend a lot of money but get nothing in return, wouldn't it stop the transaction that hasn't even started?
So he gave this unknown instrument enough time to absorb the data, and then tore it off in the middle.
Xu Yinmo got half of the data, and Shen Jian kept half of it, which was fair——
Shen Jian looked at Xu Yinmo briefly, and seeing that he acquiesced to this matter, he suddenly raised a slightly subtle smile.
He was about to ease the atmosphere, but Shen An seemed too pitiful, so he had to comfort him.
Xu Yinmo’s heart suddenly jumped, and he raised his head slightly to stare at Shen Jian.
Shen Jian asked with a smile: “So, in return, should I get you?”
Xu Yinmo paused, and suddenly figured out what trap Shen Jian had set.
He had just acquiesced to Shen Jian’s order for him not to put the chip next time.
This is equivalent to recognizing Shen Jian's status as his leader.
"Cough." As soon as the words fell, Shen An couldn't help but abandon the loss just now, coughed as if to add insult to injury, and put his right hand on the corner of his mouth, half covering the slightly upturned corner of his mouth.
The more mature chestnut-haired puppy also advised him with a smile: "Xu Yinmo, accept your fate."
The purple-haired admiral sat there in silence, hugging his arms. After a moment, he took a deep breath, turned his head and covered his face, and stopped talking.
Chen Jian delivered the final blow: "I heard that submitting merits is very popular in Wuyan Tower, so please submit a letter of surrender within one month, General Xu."
Xu Yinmo simply stood up, walked around Chen An, walked out and slammed the door.
Shen Jian looked at the door calmly: "Oh, he has it now?"
Shen An smiled softly, as if he had tacitly turned the page on the previous question: "Yes. He will explain to you the source of the virus included in the agreement."
Shen Jian glanced sideways.
"We will soon face the sixth great storm. The virus will spread with the wind and parasitize the human body like spores, absorbing nutrients from the human body to grow, and then gradually turning people into monsters no different from plants. However, it will take several years for these parasitic bodies to truly stop thinking like humans."
"At the same time, it causes serious environmental pollution, so many resources are now scarce."
"There is no solution at the moment," Shen An added calmly, "Only a vaccine in advance can stop the virus, but it's very expensive, very expensive - one of the necessary resources currently only produces 25.5 grams per year."
“And one vaccine requires 0.002 grams, and only 12,000 doses of vaccine can be produced each year.” Xu Yinmo pushed open the door and took over the conversation, handed a stack of documents to Shen Jian, and sat down again.
Shen Jian lowered his head and browsed the documents, his tone was very light: “Yeah.”
The document lists the locations where the first five virus storms occurred and speculation on where the next storm will occur.
Unlike Shen Jian’s original world, the Middle Ages in this world is probably hidden very deeply because it has successfully established a connection with that leader.
At least Wuyan Tower has been secretly tracking down the medieval garrison until now, otherwise, with the style of Wuyan Tower's militant faction, they would have gone up and fired a cannon. Everyone knows that even the civilian staff of Wuyan Tower are extremely good at planning wars.
"He didn't stop you?" Shen Jian asked as he looked at the schematic diagram.
Shen An shook his head. He knew what Shen Jian was asking: "No. Just like he didn't stop Mo Yi from stealing our data, he didn't stop us from tracking down Mo Yi."
Shen An repeated it again, "The boss just 'did not interfere', 'did nothing', and quietly waited...for the world to fall into decay."
Shen Jian didn't say anything. He looked at the seemingly irregular trend chart and said coldly, "I don't think this is a qualified letter of surrender."
Xu Yinmo seemed to have a switch turned on and his body relaxed.
Then, he glanced at Shen An, who suddenly fell into dead silence, “This is certainly not an achievement.”
"The token of my allegiance to you is..."
"Chen Xiuzhu - the head of the Wuyan Tower's research institute, defected to the Middle Ages."
