Chapter 229: Young People Don't Follow Martial Ethics!

"By the way, I also have something I would like to tell you."

"Go ahead," the old man said, reaching out to take Ye Cang's teacup to refill it with hot water.

But Ye Cang was quick-witted and snatched it back from the old man's hand.

Are you kidding me?

The old man had already poured tea for himself; to let him add water for him as well—that was simply out of the question, absolutely not allowed!

After reclaiming the teacup, Ye Cang then said, "The matter I want to discuss concerns the construction planning after the subsequent unification of Earth."

"The most important part of this is the issue of transportation; for instance, from here to Yingjiang Province, there is a distance of nearly 10,000 kilometers, and ordinary means of transport might take several days."

"Not to mention other countries, even though we have the Chixiao or Tianhe supersonic transport planes."

"However, supersonic flight is not something an ordinary person's body can withstand."

"Therefore, I want to promote a project!"

Hearing this, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly and finished the rest of the sentence for Ye Cang.

"A National Super Soldier project?"

"Am I right, Xiao Cang?"

"Yes!" Ye Cang nodded heavily.

"The project I intend to promote is indeed the National Super Gene Project."

"I want to start with Huaxia, implanting Super Genes into all Huaxia residents to make them Super Soldiers—Secondary Super Warriors, of course. What do you think of this plan of mine?"

The old man listened in silence.

But his fingers tapped lightly on the desk in front of him.

This indicated that the old man was thinking about the matter.

After thinking for nearly 10 minutes, the old man slowly raised his head.

"Regarding the National Super Gene project, I personally am quite in favor of it."

"However, regarding these Secondary Super Warriors, what are their specifications?"

"Once they start acting recklessly, will the police or the military still be able to subdue them like before?"

"If this National Super Gene project breaks the existing order, I think it would be better not to promote it."

Ye Cang had long anticipated the old man's question.

He had been thinking about the National Super Gene Project for a long time; every aspect had been fully perfected, and it could be said there were no major issues.

As for minor issues?

No one would dare to guarantee those, because all minor issues can only be discovered through practice.

Looking at the project itself, there were no problems.

Ye Cang stood up, poured himself a cup of hot water, and began to explain the issues he had just raised to the old man.

"I will answer these questions for you one by one. First, regarding the specifications of the Secondary Super Warriors."

"The specific data is complicated to explain; you only need to know that a normal first-generation Super Soldier possesses about 10 tons of strength."

"And the strength a Secondary Super Warrior can possess is one ton; of course, this is one ton of strength in all aspects."

"Therefore, a normal first-generation Super Soldier can easily subdue them, and I can develop an Enhanced Secondary Super Warrior for police use."

"This type of Enhanced Secondary Super Warrior possesses 5 tons of strength."

"I think this should be sufficient."

After receiving the answer, the old man pondered for a while longer.

Finally, the old man asked only one question.

"When do you intend to promote the National Super Gene Project?"

Ye Cang was not stupid; he understood that the old man asking him this question proved that he approved of his plan.

"I plan to do it after your business is settled; after all, I need some preparation time, and the time required is quite long," Ye Cang answered truthfully.

"I have had plans for this project for a long time, but the timing was never right, so I didn't mention it. Now, the time has come."

"Besides, our future enemy is the Taotie."

"Regarding the data on the Taotie, I believe Du Kaao must have told you about it while he was alive, right?"

"Yes, that's right, Xiao Du did tell me," the old man said. "Those Taotie warriors are all so-called Beast-body Warriors."

"I heard one can fight 5 or 6 people."

As he spoke, the old man rubbed his face and then let out a yawn.

"Sigh, enough of that, Xiao Cang."

"I can't hold on anymore; I need to go and rest."

"I'm old now, not like I used to be!"

After the old man sighed with emotion, he held onto the desk and stood up shakily.

He was preparing to rest for a bit.

But Ye Cang seemed not to have heard him and called out to the old man again.

"Wait a moment, I have one more thing I want to tell you."

"Go ahead, what else is there?" The old man, having stood up, held his waist and moved slowly, step by step.

However, Ye Cang did not say that thing immediately; instead, he put his hand into his pocket.

Because Ye Cang's movements were very light, the old man did not notice.

"It's just that..." Ye Cang said, blocking the old man's path.

"Regarding the Super Gene project, I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Cang suddenly erupted, violently reaching out a hand to pinch the old man's chin.

Forced by the pain, the old man couldn't help but open his mouth.

He had just wanted to ask Ye Cang what he was going to do.

Just then, Ye Cang's other hand, which had been in his pocket, was pulled out, and in that hand were two test tubes.

And those test tubes were filled with a white, viscous substance; what else could it be but Special Protein?

Seeing this, the old man immediately understood what Ye Cang wanted to do, before the old man could say anything.

Ye Cang used his teeth to bite open the stoppers of the two test tubes.

He poured all of the Special Protein from the test tubes into the old man's mouth in one go.

Afterwards, he closed the old man's mouth.

Fearing that the old man would spit out the Special Protein, Ye Cang did not let go of him, but instead gently stroked the old man's throat to help him swallow.

The next second, the two tubes of Special Protein were completely swallowed by the old man.

Only then did Ye Cang release the old man.

"Xiao Cang, you... you are being reckless!" the old man said indistinctly while rubbing his chin after being released.

"Why give Special Protein to an old man like me? It could play a greater role if given to the soldiers!"

"Giving it to me is just a waste!"

"A waste?" Ye Cang sighed helplessly.

"How is it a waste?"

"The brain and the heart are both indispensable; without the blood supply from the heart, the brain cannot think, but without the command of the brain, the heart cannot function."

"Is this what you call a waste?"

Ye Cang's two short sentences left the old man speechless.

Finally, the old man's face flushed red as he managed to blurt out one sentence.

"You, you... young people don't follow the martial code! You ambushed an old man like me!"

Hearing this "don't follow the martial code," Ye Cang blinked twice.

He hadn't expected the old man to say such a thing; it was truly unexpected!

Ye Cang shook his head and smiled.
