Chapter 21: Manhattan

Establishing a new life direction for the lost girl and providing her with unlimited free wheel cakes—Meng Yi is truly a 'great good person'!

For more than ten days, Meng Yi hadn't done anything harmful or against Firefly’s bottom line, so this interstellar civilization cyborg, who was conquered by the charm of 'free food and housing', wouldn't refuse Meng Yi’s invitation to accompany him.

Space Marines never become slaves, unless they are provided with food and housing and unlimited pastries.

……

The two took a train installed by Blackwatch to leave the underground Hive in Raccoon City, and returning to the surface where the sun rises and sets felt like it happened yesterday.

Arriving at the top of the initial building, the disciplined cyborg soldiers had been waiting for a long time in helicopters.

Psionic field diffusion, virtual memory compilation, Thought Steel Seal applied.

The 'powerless' cultured man Meng Yi fundamentally prevented the appearance of all hidden dangers that could endanger his safety, and the 'grunts' piloting the helicopter to escort him to Manhattan were no exception.

The setting sun was like blood on the horizon, and looking out, Raccoon City beneath his feet was full of broken walls and ruins.

The oncoming gale blew Meng Yi’s laboratory white coat, and the roaring noise of the helicopter flight carried his thoughts to the West Coast, thousands of kilometers away.

……

"Officer, would you like to take a nap? It is expected to arrive in Manhattan at dawn tomorrow."

Meng Yi, who was staring blankly at the night sky and stars, constantly repairing his plans in his mind, had his thoughts interrupted by words from the wireless headset. The Blackwatch soldier in the co-pilot seat turned his body and handed over a fairly clean neck pillow.

"I haven't bought this thing for long, and I’ve only used it twice. I hope you won't mind."

The tactical mask obscured the soldier’s face, but it wasn't hard to distinguish his fanaticism and loyalty.

"Alright, then thank you."

Meng Yi smiled indifferently and didn't refuse the soldier’s kindness, although his current physical strength meant it didn't matter if he didn't sleep for days and nights.

After putting on the neck pillow and finding a fairly comfortable angle, Meng Yi, having nothing to do, had the urge to chat.

"Young man, what is your opinion of Blackwatch?"

The low-level Blackwatch soldier thought for a long time and said uncertainly: "From the perspective of America, Blackwatch is an elite force that protects the country. Not only do they have the most advanced equipment, but the management of the soldiers is also very strict, yet the mortality rate has always remained high."

The young soldier scratched his head and laughed: "I dare not hide it from you, Officer. My biggest dream is to live past thirty, successfully retire from Blackwatch, take the retirement fee to buy a house in a big city, and it would be even better if I could marry a wife."

"However, my dream now is to dedicate my whole life to you, Officer!"

"Not just me, Blackwatch should be like this, and even America and the whole world should be like this!"

"Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty!"

"What is 'God'?"

"Officer, you are the only true Lord I believe in!"

The faint smile on Meng Yi’s face gradually dissipated, and he said in a flat tone: "I’m tired."

"Oh, oh! Officer, then you have a good rest! I’ll call you when we arrive!"

The soldier said in a panic, then turned around and sat up straight, staring at the night sky ahead without squinting.

Not far away, the silver-haired girl who was quietly observing this scene moved her lips, but finally closed her eyes and buried her head deep into her knees.

Is it really good to use "Psionics" to manipulate other people’s minds, thinking, and personalities?

Meng Yi certainly knows this is not good, but he has no choice.

The dangerous Warhammer world and the unpredictable "Evolution Paradise" are like two flood beasts chasing him from behind, making it impossible for him to slow down.

Will turns into a sword, cutting off distracting thoughts.

The disturbances turned into whetstones for his will, making his already steel-like will even more indestructible.

……

A night without words, the next morning, with 16 days left before the selection dungeon ended, Meng Yi arrived in Manhattan, where A-Brother haunted.

Due to the elderly vampires' fanatical pursuit of 'life extension and longevity', they ordered the Blackwatch generals to receive him personally.

Manhattan, Blackwatch Base.

A middle-aged man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a hawk-like gaze, wearing a pure black military uniform, stood straight with hundreds of soldiers armed with live ammunition, waiting in the aircraft docking area.

The machine guns on the surrounding high walls were slowly rotating, dozens of armed helicopters were patrolling back and forth in the sky, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles blocked every street within a five-kilometer radius, and more than a dozen towering virus detection towers flickered with light.

Blackwatch would not allow anyone to disturb the 'elegant interest' of 'Chairman Bai's' outing.

With this scale of firepower configuration, 'A-Brother' would have to be carried out even if he walked in standing.

"Psionic Interference: Extreme: Wide-area Cognitive Tampering!"

Before the plane landed, Meng Yi decisively activated his C+ grade "Psionics" to the limit, silently tampering with the tens of thousands of Blackwatch soldiers at the military base.

Ordinary soldiers, biochemical cyborgs, super soldiers, tank drivers, armored vehicle drivers, helicopter pilots, commanders, adjutants, generals...

In just a few seconds, the Blackwatch military base went through a moment of chaos, and then immediately returned to its original rhythm, looking no different from usual, but the 'core' had already been dyed with Meng Yi’s color.

The long-distance helicopter landed, and the heavy cabin door opened.

Meng Yi, whose face was as pale as paper, walked out of the helicopter with the support of Firefly and two soldiers.

Fortunately, his physical strength had been upgraded from F grade to F+ grade.

Otherwise, manipulating tens of thousands of people at once, he would have died from "Psionic" backlash before he even succeeded.

"Chairman Bai, long time no see."

The general’s firm and serious face was filled with a heartfelt smile, and his fanatical gaze was exactly the same as those in the underground Hive in Raccoon City.

"General Randall, we had a satellite phone exchange yesterday."

Meng Yi smiled and exchanged pleasantries, then went straight to the point: "Has Dana been found? What is the current status of Elizabeth Greene? Have the Black Light Virus researchers gathered?"

Yesterday, they weren't 'familiar', so General Randall didn't take Meng Yi’s orders to heart and certainly couldn't go all out; instead, he had complaints because Meng Yi snatched the research institute under his command.

Now, they are 'their own people', and their attitude and execution are completely different.

General Randall blamed himself extremely: "Sorry, Chairman Bai, I’ll go do it right away!"

Meng Yi rubbed his temples, which were as painful as needle pricks; the situation he had long guessed wouldn't catch him off guard when it actually happened.

Better late than never; he decisively activated the backup plan.

"Immediately notify the people at the Gentek research institute to lock down all entrances and exits of the laboratory at the highest alert level; no one is allowed to enter or leave. By the way, move a few instruments for detecting the Black Light Virus over there to prevent any 'little mice' from sneaking in."

"Yes, Sir!"

"In the laboratory where 'Hope Town: Elizabeth Greene' is imprisoned, inject anesthetic gas and Black Light Virus suppression gas at any cost. Send half of the top biochemical cyborgs of the Blackwatch troops over there. If there is any abnormality, you are allowed to kill without mercy."

"Yes, Sir!"

"Within half an hour, gather the scientific scholars at the military base who have researched the Red Light Virus and Black Light Virus; I have 'questions' to ask."

"Yes, Sir!"

Meng Yi raised his hand and patted General Randall’s severed arm, saying in a cold tone without any emotional fluctuation: "Within half a day, even if you scrape Manhattan three feet deep, you must bring Dana to me, understand?"

"If not... go to the laboratory and sign up to be a test subject."

"Gulp—"

The one-armed general swallowed hard, saluted, and nodded fiercely: "Yes, Sir! Guarantee to complete the mission!" ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
