Chapter 209: Killed

~10 min read 1,850 words

The entire Yantian City was completely shocked!

Wu Pifu was new to the area and naturally didn't understand many of the detailed information of this world.

Li Muxia and the four were mercenaries at the bottom, and they didn't understand these things either. Although Li Xianchun knew these details, first, she had just recovered from a near-death state and was mentally exhausted, and second, she thought Wu Pifu understood these things, so she didn't remind him.

The reason for the shock in Yantian City was actually that Wu Pifu insisted on dragging the entire bunker snail shell back to Yantian City. If he had dragged it back alone, although it would have shocked the whole city, the point of shock would be different from now.

Because it was the Security Society's motorcade that dragged the bunker snail back.

The three major societies of this world—the Mercenary Society, the Researcher Society, and the Security Society—had both secret confrontation and mutual dependence, almost encompassing everything in the human world after the biochemical beast tide. And in the application of biochemical beasts, the three major societies each had their own uses. After obtaining biochemical beasts, it was almost impossible to give them to each other; they were generally digested internally.

And Wu Pifu dragged the bunker snail back to Yantian City almost entirely, and let the Security Society's motorcade drag it. This immediately made the people of Yantian City think that the Security Society was going to take this bunker snail to the Mercenary Society to get the bounty. All kinds of things made many discerning people feel terrified, and there was a feeling that a storm was coming.

To put it bluntly, among the three major societies, the Security Society had the strongest military power and the most Super War-machines. The Researcher Society was second, but the Researcher Society had many cutting-edge technologies from before the war and a systematic accumulation of knowledge for training researchers and scientists, so it wouldn't be much worse than the Security Society. Only the Mercenary Society was a latecomer, with the weakest strength and the worst foundation, having to unite with the public and let the public benefit to coexist with the other two societies.

The so-called bounty target was actually the bounty of the Mercenary Society. The Researcher Society and the Security Society had never had a bounty list. The Mercenary Society relied on a large number of mercenaries to obtain a large amount of biochemical beast materials, and these materials still needed to be partially transferred to the other two societies to let these two societies recognize the equivalent exchange item of water tickets.

This was the pattern of this world.

And the Security Society's motorcade dragging a bounty-level biochemical beast to the Mercenary Society to get the bounty... this was a major event that affected the pattern of this world!

If it had to be categorized, it would be equivalent to the 21st-century era of Wu Pifu, where the Ugly Country and the Little Japan united to build an army, and then let the people of Little Japan become the commander-in-chief of this joint army. It was truly a world shock.

But Wu Pifu, as an outsider, naturally didn't know these things. He happily got the water tickets from the front desk of the Mercenary Society, ignored the strange expressions of these employees, turned around, and strode into the city, starting to look for a suitable area in this city to buy a house.

"But why is there no prompt to establish a shelter?"

Wu Pifu didn't quite understand. He clearly saw that after the bunker snail shell was transported to Yantian City, whether it was the soldiers guarding the city wall, all the people along the way, or the employees of the Mercenary Society, they were all shocked.

Obviously, his ability to hunt this bunker snail in one fell swoop had shocked the world. According to his idea, at the very least, he should be able to establish a level-1 event-type shelter. You know, in the Demon Castle world, he established a shelter just by entering the Demon Castle, and the shock brought by the greeting gift he made this time should be even greater.

"Perhaps it's because the news hasn't been passed out, it's only limited to this city, or maybe this world is a bit special, and the intensity is greater than the Demon Castle world?"

Wu Pifu couldn't figure these things out, but he wasn't worried. Anyway, as long as he continued to fight in this world, he could always establish an event-type shelter.

When great power belongs to oneself, it is not easy to be confused by the outside world, unless the power of the outside world is far more powerful than one's own.

On the other side, the Security Society, the Researcher Society, and the Mercenary Society were all quickly passing this news to the upper levels, but the information passed was naturally different.

The Security Society passed information about Wu Pifu's existence, including photos, videos, and descriptions from many officers, most of which were speculations about Super Soldiers.

The Mercenary Society and the Researcher Society only passed information about the Security Society suddenly sending a bounty-level biochemical beast to the Mercenary Society. Both societies were asking the upper levels if something had happened to the Security Society, or if the Mercenary Society and the Security Society had a tendency to unite.

In short, without Wu Pifu's knowledge, various undercurrents, rumors, and speculations had begun to ferment.

That night, at the headquarters of the Security Society several cities away, dozens of officials and officers gathered in the conference room for a meeting. Most of them didn't know what had happened and were whispering to each other. But as the high-level officials hosting the meeting played the pictures and videos of Major Jia's troops, the whole scene fell silent.

"... Could it be a robot!?"

Someone immediately asked, but someone next to him retorted, "We have also researched robot projects and even manufactured several prototypes. But what was the result? As soon as the manufacturing was completed, it would undergo biochemical beast mutation within a year, turning into a biochemical monster with a bounty of at least 30,000 tons."

Someone else retorted, "It's not just us. The other Mercenary Society and Researcher Society must have done similar research. Super Soldiers have been slow to appear. We naturally know that we can't artificially create Super Soldiers through robots. We have known this for a long time. This world has been completely shrouded in the inexplicable virus or radiation of biochemical beasts. Except for having intelligence, there is no way to isolate biochemical beast mutation."

The video on the stage was still playing. When everyone saw the shells bounce off Wu Pifu, and the explosion caused him no harm, followed by him slapping a heavy tank—a steel giant weighing about 80 to 100 tons—flying more than 20 meters away, everyone in the room was performing facial expressions. They were all high-level officials of the Security Society, and each could be considered well-informed. In their eyes, a bunker snail with a bounty of more than 10,000 tons was just a weakling. Only regional security teams would think it was terrifying. And those truly terrifying top-level biochemical beasts couldn't even express their strength with bounty amounts.

But no matter how well-informed they were, they had really never seen a human slap a heavy tank away. They couldn't even imagine such a thing.

"... Is it really a Super Soldier!?"

"Is his body really flesh?"

"Arrest him immediately! What are you waiting for!"

"Arrest? How to arrest? Do you know how terrifying the mobility of a human-sized existence that can slap a heavy tank away and whose defense is so strong that shells can't penetrate it is?"

The officials and officers in the conference room immediately became noisy, each talking and discussing the situation.

At the top of the conference room sat seven old men who had been silent. At this moment, the video finished playing, and they looked at each other, exchanging glances. One of the old men said, "We cannot let the news of his existence spread. The legend of the Super Soldier has existed for a long time, and I don't know when it started, but this legend gradually became that the Super Soldier is the savior of the world. And many civilians believe this deeply. If the outside world knows of his existence, many civilians and mercenaries will gather around him. This is not good. It must be avoided!"

Another old man also said, "We must block the news, and it doesn't necessarily have to be an arrest. You have all seen that he was attacked first, but he didn't kill anyone, just established his power. This shows that he has intelligence and reason. No matter whether his skin is machine or monster, having intelligence and reason means he can communicate... Then why not recruit him?"

The officials and officers in the conference room were shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, they all applauded.

!

The reason why the outside world couldn't know that a Super Soldier had appeared was to avoid the so-called savior effect. But if this savior was from their organization, then this was not a problem. The Security Society would even beat drums and gongs to promote him.

"Wealth, status, power, and the glory of salvation—as long as he joins our society, all of this can be obtained."

The old man smiled and said, "And we are not those lunatics from the Researcher Society. They probably want to slice him for research, while we will sincerely look forward to him joining our big family. For example, the position of the seven of us old things can also be increased by one, right?"

"Of course, there is a prerequisite: he must sincerely join our society, and at the same time, confirm that he is indeed a Super Soldier. As long as this point is confirmed, then..."

"The Origin Project will be restarted, and the great cause of saving this world can truly be completed in our generation!"

The conference room was silent. A few seconds later, there was a sudden uproar. Everyone was applauding loudly, and the other six old men were also thinking seriously and applauding gently.

At this time, someone asked, "What about the other two societies?"

The old man said, "Hide, blur, delay time. Do you still need me to teach you this? As long as he joins our society, all of this will no longer be a problem."

Someone asked again, "Then... what if he doesn't want to join our society? What if he is really a Super Soldier, with his own power and pride, then what?"

The conference room suddenly fell into silence again.

The seven old men looked at each other and laughed.

"Then he has no need to exist. Super Soldier... or rather, the existence of a suspected Super Soldier, our society, the Mercenary Society, the Researcher Society..."

"We haven't killed them before."
