A quiet birch forest stands in the icy land of Beiyun Province.

Beiyun Province is adjacent to the extreme north, and in winter, the daylight time is short, and even the shortest time is only two hours of daylight, and the northern part of Beiyun Province is already full of snowflakes, there is no sun, no moon, and even the stars are invisible.

In the birch forest without lights, some white bark can be vaguely seen, and snowflakes all over the mountains and fields, falling on the trees and falling on the ground, no one wants to set foot in this birch forest, and no one dares to set foot in this birch forest.

Because this forest is the outer area of the main base of the standing mecha garrison force on the entire northern border, the monitoring of the base covers the entire forest, and once someone trespasses, they will face the invitation of the base task force, or annihilation.

However, in the middle of such a forest, the sound of steady breathing gradually came from the wind and snow, and if someone came to look carefully with a lamp, they would see that in the thick snow, a deep hole was coming out, and the heat was rising.

In such a snow cave with only one hole, a man in military uniform was sitting cross-legged inside, and what was running in his body was the standard cultivation method of the mecha army, and the level should have reached the realm of a young master, and he would be able to break through the mountain in a few days.

But this man's body is a little weird, in the process of his cultivation, the energy runs in the meridians, and every time the energy flows, the meridians will light up with a trace of fiery red light, which shines out from under the skin, which is very weird.

And this fiery red light, with great heat, evaporated from the man's body, melting the ice and snow above his head, and then the light disappeared, and the temperature of minus 20 degrees quickly froze the melting ice and snow.

Judging by the thickness of the frozen ice wall in the snow cave where he was, it was estimated that he had been practicing here for quite some time, at least a week.

There is a huge amount of power hidden in a man's body, even if it is a young master realm, it is impossible to have such a powerful and incomparable power, and this power is still rising with the washing of energy and the transformation of muscles. Finally, in the next moment, there was a slight crunch in the man's body, and a churning of muscles surged, and he opened his eyes with a happy face.

Got up, clenched his fists and felt the power in his body, and couldn't help but chuckle twice.

His military uniform was in tatters, and he had a large cut in his chest, on which the blood froze into frost, revealing his hard chest. There was no wound on his chest, not even a scar. And in the other corner of the snow cave, there was a man who had been stripped naked, and there was a huge gap in his chest.

The man stretched out his hand, as if inserting tofu, dug down a large piece of ice from the wall, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it "click", and finally chewed it into ice slag, turned into ice water, swallowed his stomach, his face instantly looked much better, the fiery red energy on his body flashed, and he smashed his fist on the ice shell above his head.

An alarm sounded inside the base of the standing garrison, red lights flashed, and the thermal imaging surveillance of the warning area was instantly displayed on the light screen, and everyone was surprised to see that a humanoid thing was running quickly in the snow.

A general next to him just pointed to the figure on the screen and asked, "Is that him?" ”

The soldier standing beside the general was already furious, and said loudly: "It's him!" Last time, I accompanied the team to send the Awakened to Beiyun Provincial City through the 36th area of the White Birch Forest, and it was this person who killed the captain, killed all the people, and after knocking me unconscious, he took away the Awakened prisoner 10247, there will be absolutely no mistake! ”

The general nodded, and immediately ordered: "Send out the action troops, the standby troops will be outflanked immediately, and the drone formation will take off to monitor, and if the enemy is found, flee and kill!" ”

One by one, the orders were executed, and the drone formation flew out of the gate of the base one by one, and immediately found the man who was running in the birch forest through thermal imaging, and three snow-bright searchlights were instantly projected from the lower abdomen of the drone, illuminating the man's whereabouts clearly.

The action troops of the base followed closely, and the other troops who had been waiting in this area for a long time had formed an encirclement and surrounded the man, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed in the direction from which the man came, waiting for the order to shoot, or the man retreated.

But the other party did not have the slightest fear, but let out a crazy laugh, and rushed towards the encirclement, followed by a dense burst of gunfire.

The general looked at the scene on the screen and observed the man, but found that every time a bullet was fired into his body, a fiery red energy would emerge from his body, repairing the entire bullet hole, and as the bullet hole was repaired, the bullet in the bullet hole seemed to be melted and discharged from the body, forming a hard metal shell.

As more and more bullets entered, almost all parts of the man's body were wrapped in a black metal shell, which did not hinder his movements, but made him more vigorous, even fearless of the impact of the bullets, and moved forward.

A ** shot out of the launcher and exploded directly on the man's body, but they found that ** could only blow up the metal shell on the man's body, leaving a large burn on his body, but before she could run a few steps, the burned skin had already returned to its original state.

"What kind of monster is this!" Some of the soldiers couldn't help but shout loudly.

The more powerful *** flew directly towards the man's body, and a violent explosion sounded, and all the soldiers looked at the fire in front of them, and found that no one's figure rushed out of it, and their faces showed a look of relief.

However, in the next moment, a staggering figure appeared within the range of the searchlight, and the man's entire left shoulder became a huge gap, half of his body was almost invisible, and even the left side of his face was no longer human.

But he still came out of the smoke and smoke of the fire, and staggered.

All the soldiers were looking at such a terrifying scene in front of them, they had not killed anyone, nor had they seen the dying struggle, but this kind of dying struggle was too terrifying, even creepy.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look! He's being born again! ”

At this time, all of them escaped from the terror, looking at the remaining half of the man's body in shock, there was not even any school flowing out of the wound, a stream of red energy flowed in his body towards the location of the wound, and the wound regrew like a foaming sponge.

All the soldiers could not help but take a step back, not daring to move any further, and no one gave the order to shoot.

Finally, a gunshot slashed through the woods, followed by a rain of bullets and various violent explosions, and the man's body was still growing rapidly, faster and faster, rushing towards the encirclement. The ** launched on the drone exploded in the man's palm, which quickly grew out and was intact.

No one knew what to do with such a monster, no one knew how to deal with such an incomprehensible creature, they were scattered by men, thrown into the sky, the guns in their hands were no longer useful, and the team formed by the usual training was vulnerable.

In the end, under the gaze of everyone, under the gaze of the general in the monitor, the man rushed to the canyon, jumped into the ice river of Beiyun Province, which never froze, splashed a small splash, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The general took a deep breath and asked, "This is the ...... Predators? ”

A researcher in a white lab coat beside him sighed deeply, stared at the flowing glacier on the screen, and said, "Yes, General, this is the Marauder. ”

The general turned around sharply and ordered: "Summoning the Imperial Capital Military Commission and Jiudaoguan, the first case of marauders appeared in Beiyun Province, killing ten awakened people, fifty-six ordinary people, and one hundred and twenty-seven soldiers, who have fled, and the territory of Beiyun is on first-level alert. ”

"Marauder Rank...... Level 2! ”

At this time, the imperial capital was still sunny, and the lazy afternoon sun shone into the window, making An Xiaoyu and Wang Zhen feel comfortable physically and mentally.

"Actually, it's not a big problem, it's just that I want to form my own force recently, and I have to make a little deal with Gray Rope. You also know that the relationship between me and Gray Rope is only between people, so I need to think about it differently, but I have never been exposed to this kind of communication between forces. ”

An Xiaoyu looked at the people who were enjoying music with headphones on a few tables in the distance, and whispered to Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen was not surprised, An Xiaoyu will form his own forces sooner or later, this matter is a matter that all the high-level executives who pay attention to An Xiaoyu know well, and they have also acquiesced to the promotion of Baume and Mercier at the news level, so that Baume and Mercier have access to real high-level news.

After thinking about it, Wang Zhen said: "I know that you have never been exposed to this kind of thing, in fact, when I first entered the Military Commission, I was put in control of a part of the reform at once, and I was also a little numb, but then my father taught me a lot, and I think there are some things you should be able to use." ”

"You say." Ann whispered and listened.

"At the beginning, when I entered the military commission, I represented a command post of the new army, and I had no real power, although I had an official position, but I wanted to be a representative and an envoy, and when I needed to talk to leaders from other quarters at this time, I needed to weigh the interests of both sides."

So fundamentally speaking, the relationship between people is more about the giving and return of feelings, which is the foundation, and on top of this, all kinds of interests will be established. And the foundation between forces and forces is directly interests, and only interests are the core relationship network. ”

"If you want to change the relationship between you and Gray Rope, you must first put aside the kind of alliance with a slight friendship that you and Che Zichang have cultivated."

"Generally speaking, your situation is really more suitable for the budding of interactions between informal organizations. The leaders of both sides have a good relationship, and then you can let go of each other's mustards, after all, you have done a lot of things to the gray rope before, and these are the factors that make your cooperation shackled. ”

"Che Zichang's purpose should be to use his personal feelings to wash away what you have done before, so that the opponents within Gray Rope will forget the conflict of interest that you had at the beginning. Or rather, to recognize that the conflict of interest that arises between you is not between them and you, but between the Wei family, the court, and the military commission, so that you can be an alternative to an ally without being blamed. ”

"At this time, as an alternative ally, you should take the initiative to highlight the benefits you can provide to them, and use your personal relationships to pass on this information, and Che Zichang should be very cooperative to pass this information on to every senior member of the gray rope to test their attitude."

"Because the relationship between you and Gray Rope was bad before, it is already the sincerity of Gray Rope to be able to transform you into a harmless existence for sleepwalking, so you need to reciprocate. After the return, the exchange of interests will be generated, and then Che Zichang will transform this interest into the benefit of the organization, which is the transformation of the relationship. ”

An Xiaoyu listened to Wang Zhen's words and benefited a lot, feeling that she was indeed narrow-sighted before, and could only see the people and things around her, and after expanding a little more, she couldn't control it. Treat everything like a fight, and think rigidly.

Wang Rong continued: "At this time, the benefits thrown out should be to their liking, and they should be roughly equivalent to the benefits you want to obtain, and you should also pay attention to the impact on the overall situation, these three aspects are the focus. ”

"The first is to do what they like, and an organization's preferences are not necessarily their preferences, but their goals, or their common needs. For example, if consumers want a better place to spend, the store has replaced the market, and this is an example. ”

"Therefore, the needs of the other party are not necessarily realized by the other party themselves, because they are an organization, a collection of human beings, and there is no absolute unity of thought in the collection, so you need to take the initiative to find out what kind of benefits you can give them, so that they can't refuse."

"Of course, the other party may also have clear demands, but these demands must be related to their ultimate goal, for Gray Rope, the ultimate goal is, of course, whitewashing, whitewashing is their most urgent goal, and all the interests that can promote whitewashing are beneficial to them."

"It's just that the demands they show on the surface are still different from the demands you can take the initiative to provide."

"Because an organization has to take into account the influence of various aspects, it must take into account the perception of itself by the outside world, and it must take into account the control of information by internal members. The demands revealed are necessarily not entirely sincere, and the attraction is only those inconsequential collaborators, each taking what he needs, and that's it. ”

"But why do we need such collaborators? Because what Gray Rope wants is not just cooperation, but also an intention. This is throwing bricks and jade, it is a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, in order to tell people who are really qualified to cooperate with them, I accept such collaborators, you come to me! That's what it means. ”

"So what kind of cooperation you choose ultimately determines what kind of status gap you have. And the degree to which you can think of the benefits for them also determines the degree of cooperation between you. ”

"This is called the giving and the benefit must be comparable. This is the basis for guaranteeing equality of status for both sides. What you pay must be exchanged for benefits of equal value, otherwise whether your interests are not enough or the benefits you seek are not enough, it will cause inequality between the two parties. ”

"Unequal transactions are the root of the contradictions between the two sides, at the beginning of the relationship may be in line with the relationship of cooperation, did not care, but in the future in the process of communication, it is likely that some relatively small things will lead to the loopholes that have been hidden before, resulting in the collapse of cooperation."

"Only when the pay and the harvest are equal, can we maintain the equality of both sides, and the two sides are equal, and the cooperation can go on like this for a long time, otherwise it will only become an autumn wind that takes advantage of the danger of others, and any cooperation in the future will lose its foundation, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Of course, the benefits you give, and the benefits you receive, are not just transactions between the two of you. The relationship between any forces will involve a variety of forces related to both sides, all the forces constitute the general environment, and the transaction between you must be carried out under the rules of the general environment, and the rules cannot be broken, and the rules cannot be skipped, otherwise even if the transaction is successful, it is impossible for both parties to obtain benefits. ”

"Because any interests are born from the general environment, it is impossible for both of you to create interests out of thin air, unless it is between the empire and the ten thousand races, because there is no other power in the entire continent except the empire and the ten thousand races."

"It's called taking into account the impact on the surrounding environment."

"That's actually the most difficult thing to control, because it's hard to take into account the ideas of all the organizations involved in the transaction, and it's hard to take care of the interests of all the organizations, so you need to avoid the most important. But what is important and what is light should be considered according to various factors. ”

"The interests of you and your allies, the impact on the current situation, the general trend of the tide, the market economy, policy risks, the attitude of the above, the conflict between the two sides, the cost of taking care of one or the other, etc., etc., need to be weighed in the heart of the decision-maker to decide whether to take the risk."

Wang Zhen said that the head is the Tao, and An Xiaoyu has benefited a lot.

After speaking, the young reformer leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes comfortably, leaving time for An Xiaoyu to think for himself. He is really tired these days and needs a good rest.

However, at this time, Wang Zhen's terminal rang, he frowned, took the phone and asked, "Didn't you say that you should watch it first?" ”

However, the next moment, I don't know what the secretary on the other end of the phone said, and a shocked look instantly appeared on Wang Zhen's face. After a while, he put down the phone, looked at the curious An Xiaoyu, and said softly:

"There are marauders in Beigumo...... Level 2! ”
