Chapter 910: The Battle for the Crown
Higashiyama.
A secret underground stronghold.
The Great Leader of the Far Eastern Whip, Kok, sat in front of the video wall, holding the materials in his hand, and held a meeting with the leaders of each group.
It's the same as the last time Death Canyon 13 was based, but this time the video conference was not attended by Josiah and Eric Jr. from the Mayflower team.
"As you received, Josiah and Eric Jr. are working further and deeper with Dongshan, or more precisely with Mr. Wood! I've talked to them once, and their attitude hurts me, and I can't agree with their desperate views on genetic research!" Cork finished speaking, with a little helplessness on his face, and spread his hands: "They are the plenipotentiary representatives of the Mayflower United Family, and their level authority is the same as mine, I can't stop them from moving closer to Dongshan!"
"How can they do this!" Rothko, the Eagle Head Banner Group, was very dissatisfied: "Last time we voted against it, how could they ignore the resolution? I don't mind them buying genetic medicine, and I don't mind them performing repair surgery on the genetically collapsed elite, but they can't bind most of the Mayflower cooperation to Dongshan!"
"Doesn't anyone think they're a bit stupid?" said Powers of the Triple K.
"If they're stupid, you're not even qualified to be stupid. Schnellson, the representative of the Apocalypse Group, disagreed: "I think they're great!"
"Are you deliberately going against us? We are speaking from the perspective of collective interests, and we have no selfish motives! Do you think that the Mayflower Group will really have a bright future with such passive binding with Dongshan, especially those large groups with military backgrounds?" Bowers became furious when he heard this.
"I don't know if they're going to have a bright future!" Schnellson said sarcastically, "I just know that if they don't, then they're not going to be qualified!"
"I know it's hard, but we can be more flexible and not throw up your hands and surrender completely!" Bowles certainly knows that.
"They don't pretend to raise their hands in surrender, we will have nothing later. Schneersson sneered.
"That's right, I think Josiah and little Eric are undoubtedly heroes!" agreed Robert of the Scales.
"No one doubts their loyalty, what I want to say is that they, as the two leaders, need a more mature mind and a more holistic view, and they can't do anything with a hot head! We are a community of interests that are closely linked to each other, and they can't leave everything behind and do what they believe in, they don't have the ability and the qualifications!" Because of their actions, our entire Eye of God has fallen into passivity, and countless plans have been put on hold as a result, and this loss is almost immeasurable!"
"I think Josiah and Eric Jr. are too young, and they are a big gap from the original captain Edward II. Bowers nodded: "They do have the right to do a lot of things, but we also need to give them a little restraint! Thomas, what about your opinion?"
"Is the loss big?" Thomas suddenly asked Roscoe of the Eagle Head Banner.
"Affected by the cooperation, there was a brief small collapse in the economy for two days, and at least 300 billion yuan evaporated from the market! With the passage of time, this loss may be even greater!" Rothko nodded: "As for our internal losses, there is a data I sent to you before, and it is also a rather large number!"
"And what about emergency remedies?" Thomas asked again.
"We can cut the flesh in other countries and slowly fill the holes in other countries, but our internal losses, for the time being, no one pays for our losses, and it is difficult for us to pass on this part of the losses......" Rothko shook his head.
"Do you think the collaboration between Josiah and Little Eric should be stopped?" Thomas put down the materials in his hand and looked at the many leaders on the TV wall.
"I wouldn't do it anyway!" Schnellsson shook his head.
"That's because you've lost the least!" Powers thumped the table a little frantically.
"Why do you want to do this? I don't think there's a problem!" Robert of the Balance Group directly objected: "I'll assume that we can stop it first, then what can we get? A wrath from Mr. Wood? A mockery from the whole world? We may lose even more after the discrediting is lost! Everyone, we have already invested, no matter how big the initial investment is, we have already jumped in, and it is too late to get out of it! Not to mention that this investment, whether it is the initial development or the future results, has a positive effect! In the end, I would like to say that the people who are bold in investing are not you, but the Mayflower group! If there are really fruits in the future, those who enjoy the fruits will definitely have you who have completely invested in the initial stage and only suffered a little loss and shouted to give up!"
"Bird?" Thomas said, not making a statement, and looked at his most powerful assistant.
"I think someone has to do something!" Bird groaned slightly, and then directly expressed his opinion: "Because of hostility, our relationship with Mr. Wood is very bad, if a part of the loss can be exchanged for temporary cooperation, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, we are in urgent need of genetic medicine." ”
"Mr. Thomas and Bird, I didn't mean anything about Josiah and Little Eric them. Cork sighed in his heart when he saw that the two leaders of the trial team still had a preference for Josiah and Little Eric.
He understood.
The Eye of God needs new generation seeds like Josiah and Little Eric to break the ice and pass on the future.
But he felt that there was actually a better way, such as killing Mr. Wood, which was the most solitary solution once and for all.
On the surface, the development of the entire Dongshan seems to be driven by institutional forces.
In fact, there is only one real core.
That's Mr. Wood.
Without him.
The various research institutes in Peach Blossom Pass will immediately fall into a state of collapse.
If you find a way to get rid of Mr. Wood, who plays the role of the leader, all the advantages of Dongshan will be in vain.
So the most important thing to do at the moment is to find a way to erase the protected Mr. Wood from the world, no matter what method is used.
"We understand your feelings, Coke, just like we won't interfere with Josiah and Little Eric, and we'll support you! Do what you want, but try to plan well, there will never be many opportunities, as long as you fail once, it will be unlikely to come back later! Coke, you are a smart man, you should know this. Thomas was equally acquiescing to Cork.
"Yes, I will definitely make the best solution. Cork was overjoyed, as long as these two nodded, then he could let it go.
"Whatever you do, you can do it!" Bird tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his expression solemn: "Everyone, maybe some of you haven't realized it, but in fact, the situation is already very serious for us. We are slowly fading in our glory, and if we don't do something about it, we may soon be gone...... So, no matter what method you use, as long as you feel that it is good for our future, then let it go, maybe the path you are taking is the right one!Of course, do not underestimate the enemy, you are no longer facing the dark temple that is habitually hidden, nor the old and weak Plantagenet dynasty that refuses to admit that its crown has fallen, and it is not the Golden Flame Banner that knows nothing about itself and is still self-righteous...... But Mr. Wood, a young man full of wisdom and vitality of a new generation of kings! This young man, who was destined to take our crown as soon as he was born, if you despise his power, then I can only say that your glorious era will be reduced to history!"
Listen to what Bird said.
Whether it is the leaders who support or oppose the cooperation between the two sides, their hearts are shocked.
Yes, they had similar threats in their hearts before, but they still didn't want to admit it by relying on the strength of the powerful group.
However, when Bird directly uncovered the fig leaf, they realized that they were originally a kind of ostrich spirit, and in the face of a strong and young opponent, they were a little cowardly in their hearts, and they did not dare to face the bloody facts.
"In the battle for the crown, there is only one winner in the end!" Thomas directly announced the end of the meeting: "Everyone work hard, use your greatest strength!"
The heads of the video wall disappear.
Thomas and Bird sat at the round table and were silent for a long time.
Suddenly.
A bell rang.
Thomas picked up the remote control and pressed it against the video wall, and Josiah and little Eric appeared at the same time.
"Good evening, Thomas, Mr. Bird, we have confirmed, the nearest kilometre is absolutely safe. Josiah nodded.
"Very well, Josiah, and little Eric, then tell me what you have seen in Mr. Wood's Hall! Thomas motioned for Josiah to report.
"The layout of the hall is almost the same as the last time we saw it. Josiah gave a truthful report on the layout of the entire hall, and then mentioned a very important piece of information: "I chose to sit at the angle I chose to sit at this time, and I can see the study, and I can be sure that on Mr. Wood's desk, there is a scorpion!
"Are you sure?" Thomas and Bird looked at each other in surprise.
"100% sure. Josiah nodded, "Adams sat where I was last time, and little Eric sat next to me, and he could see the desk from his angle." ”
"I'm sure the last time I came, the young scorpion was there!" little Eric was more sure of that.
"It's been too long since the two scorpions, are you sure it's the same young scorpion?" Bird asked.
"Sure. Little Eric nodded, "I don't know how Mr. Wood managed to keep that young scorpion in its original ecology, but I'm sure it's the one I saw last time." By the way, in the rockery outside the big house, there are also a lot of giant scorpions, and they don't seem to have changed much, at least not much from the last change. I can't remember each one of them 100 percent, but there are a few giant scorpions that I have a strong memory of, and they have changed very slightly!"
"Finally, are you sure that the young scorpion is alive, not carved out of jade?" Bird asked again.
"It's definitely alive, and not only can I sense its vitality, but I can also see it move slightly. Little Eric clenched his fists: "That young scorpion's vitality is very powerful, comparable to a genetic warrior, maybe more, I had a great headache at the time, I couldn't sense its limits......"
"Where's the Gray Tower?" Thomas tried to examine from the side.
"He frightened the young scorpion, and it had been trembling from the moment he entered the hall!" Josiah replied.
"If the vitality of the young scorpion is comparable to that of a genetic warrior, then it is indeed possible to scare the crisis-sensitive Gray Tower, and it may be that other creatures are invisible to you. Bird was pleasantly surprised, but remained cautious on the surface: "Do you see anything suspicious other than the young scorpion?"
"The desk was simple, and there was hardly anything but a jade vase and a young scorpion. Little Eric pressed his forehead and inhaled hissedly, he was frantically recalling the scene with his spirit, and his head was splitting, but other than that, he couldn't restore the details 100%: "There is a pot of plants at the other end of the desk!" I shook my body when I was coughing, and in less than half a second, I saw a pot of green plants, which I had never seen before, and it should belong to underground plants, or it could be a new variety cultivated by Mr. Wood himself!"
"Can you draw it?" asked Bird.
"Ahh......hh
"Stop, little Eric, stop thinking and relax!" Josiah hurriedly stopped little Eric from recalling the scene, he cared more about his partner's life than a pot of greenery.
Although Mr. Kito said that the use of mental power does not affect the lifespan, it is an appropriate use.
If you force an overdraft for a long time.
Especially if the spirit has not recovered now, and if you forcibly overdraw, brain damage is inevitable, and if it is serious, it may affect the spiritual awakening in the future! Josiah doesn't want little Eric to be limited to this, if his mental strength is restored, little Eric will exercise and improve it will be ironclad, and he can't destroy his potential here.
"We'll recover after this, don't worry, little Eric, pay attention to your health!" Thomas also looked very sad, little Eric is a seed of hope with the ability to premonition, if the brain damage is serious and ruined, it is equivalent to self-defeat.
"I'm fine......" Little Eric wiped his nose as he realized that just by looking back at the image, his brain was almost exploding.
I wiped my nose in my hand and found that my hands were bloody.
Don't talk about bystanders.
Even he himself was terrified.
If it weren't for Mr. Mu's promise that it would not affect his lifespan, he really wouldn't dare to use this kind of mental power that is seriously overdrawn.
Bird waited for little Eric to recover, he sorted out his vocabulary a little, and concluded: "Scorpion, maybe it is the key goal or basic element of Mr. Wood's research and development of genetic medicine, and we must also increase our efforts and make every effort to make a breakthrough in this area!" According to the information we have collected, scorpions have always appeared in Mr. Wood's research, for example, he was a scorpion in his initial experiments, and Liang Xiao's subordinates have been cultivating him later, and he has been supplied and used in unlimited quantities, plus the young scorpions on the table will not fade and remain in juvenile form for a long time, we have reason to suspect that Mr. Wood's genetic medicine may have been extracted from the scorpion's body for some kind of genetic synthesis!"
"In addition, according to intelligence, the Dark Temple and the Plantagenet Dynasty, as well as the Teutonic Knights, they are also engaged in scorpion research!" Thomas nodded: "Although we have invested in research before, we have not been strong enough, and we have shifted our energy to the bugs in Death Valley too much! Josiah, little Eric, I hope you can secretly open another stronghold to study, and the result is only responsible for the two of us! What support do you need, we also provide unlimited supply, and the focus of research is scorpions!"
"Yes. Josiah replied solemnly.
"Little Eric, let Mr. Wood help you adjust ......" Thomas paused: "We have concerns about advance prediction, we are always afraid that Mr. Wood will delete it in your brain, in fact, I don't think there is any need to have such concerns! If he were to do something, you wouldn't know it had happened! I think he must be interested in you, he is a scientist first, and then a competitor!"
"I also believe that Mr. Wood may have different positions, but he is indeed a respectable opponent!" Little Eric nodded, he had wanted Mr. Wood to adjust himself, but Thomas didn't speak, he couldn't do that, otherwise he would be vulnerable to Powers and their attacks.
"Keep up the good work, we will always be on your side!" Thomas nodded at the two of them: "There are some things, if the situation is urgent, then you don't have to report it, you can do it!
"Yes. Josiah was solemn, and at the end he gritted his teeth and asked, "What if someone has to destroy it?"
"Kill him!" Thomas waved his hand, "Whoever he is!"
Falling Star House.
Lin Dong looked at the picture that the puppet sisters sent back to him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Josiah definitely didn't know that it was not only limited to Peach Blossom Pass, but the entire Dongshan was under his own surveillance.
And it's different from the camera.
This kind of monitoring clarity is almost as immersive as being in the scene, with no obstructions at a glance.
Cheng Mingge frowned a little when he heard Thomas's final decision: "If there is no way to monitor this, I really don't know that they have done so many things behind their backs! Thomas, this old guy is a little ruthless, an elite leader like Cork, he actually said to kill him!"
"Haha, that's interesting!" Lin Dong laughed when he heard this: "If there is only an opponent like Cork, it won't be interesting to me at all!"
