A few minutes later, Gong Piqing appeared at the door of the headquarters office.

Even though Hades and Gaia were discussing what tasks he would receive in the hospital room, he had no guesses about it in his own heart, because he was thinking about what Hades and Gaia had secretly said behind his back.

But what are they talking about? There were only the two of them in that ward, and what could they say secretly in his head......

Gong Piqing felt that after today's battle, his brain was a little numb, as if he had really become an emotionless revenge machine, and there was no room for anything extra in his mind except revenge.

Today's battle is to avenge the elemental mage, but this war will definitely not end here, this is just revenge on the personal level, the next step, is to fight for the Mill Institute, for humanity and the earth, and his next enemies should be those demon lords.

He felt that the old man should not be looking for him at this time, he thought that the old man should think that Gaia and Hades were both injured today, and the two of them did not bring back all the materials on the form, so the Mill Institute still needs him to go out and bring those materials back.

So, with such a heavy heart and a warm expression, he pushed open the door of the headquarters office, and the old man was already sitting at the table waiting.

It's just that what surprised him was that there was only one old man in the office, and it stands to reason that if he was given the task of going out to find supplies, there should be one or two commanders next to him who would be responsible for supplementing the details of the mission.

"Come, please be seated!" When the old man saw him enter the door, he got up as soon as he saw him enter, and gave him the main seat of the conference table.

But he sat down next to the old man, and shook his head to say that there was no need to sit on the main seat, and the old man nodded in acquiescence, and then a smile of relief appeared on his face.

For Gong Piqing, this smile seemed to have returned to the past, when the old man had such a smile on his face every day, whether it was in the face of good things or bad things, it was the same; At that time, the old man was decisive in his decision-making, and to the enemy, he was a terrible "smiling tiger", but to the staff inside the Mill Institute, he was a good leader who was absolutely trustworthy......

It's just that today, the first thing the old man said fell on a topic that Gong Piqing didn't expect anyway.

The old man said, "I have thought a lot about what you told me before......"

Gong Piqing was stunned for a while, and he didn't understand what the old man meant by this sentence for a while.

"Oh yes, I forgot to ask you, how was the result of today's test, no injuries, right?" The old man suddenly thought of this question again.

"Some minor skin trauma, but it's almost healed now."

"Hmm...... The appearance of such a tanuki changing the prince on the ghost's side is due to our poor supervision, I will apologize to you on behalf of the entire research institute first, it's good that you are not injured......" After the old man finished speaking, he fell into deep thought again.

"Just say what the arrangement is, and I can continue to carry out the mission now." After a long time, Gong Piqing spoke again.

"It's not a big deal, in fact, I came to you today just to talk to you, and the other thing is to ask you about the restart of the 'Super Soldier Project' that you told me about at the beginning." The old man finally got the subject down to the matter once again.

Gong Piqing was stunned.

"Actually, I really have seriously considered the matter you said, but after today's incident, our position has been exposed, and this battle is ...... We're going to have to fight if we don't fight......" said the old man with a long sigh.

Gong Piqing still couldn't come back to his senses, because after the old man told him that this plan was not feasible, he almost didn't think about it anymore, but the old man said this today...... Could it be that you really want to restart the "Super Soldier Project"?

"Did you come to me today to tell me that we are going to officially start a war with the Xiguan Renai Research Institute next?" Gong Piqing asked expressionlessly.

The old man took a deep breath, "Actually...... I haven't thought about it that deeply, and I've never told Command that you're the first person to discuss it with me. ”

"You should also know in your heart that this kind of thing should not be discussed with me, you all say in private that I am a revenge maniac, I am the kind of person who will do anything to get revenge, discuss this kind of big matter with me, and your plan will only be led astray by me." Gong Piqing said.

The breath that the old man had just inhaled was only slowly exhaled by him, as if it was followed by the grievances accumulated over the years, a trace of vicissitudes that could not be concealed appeared on his wrinkled face, and his eyes immediately fell on Gong Piqing, "Yes, before this, you have been trying to find a way to turn us into a revenge organization, the strong desire to attack in your heart is completely in conflict with my plan, I can see that you have been in pain during this time, but now it turns out that I was wrong." ”

Gong Piqing lowered his head and didn't speak, he knew that the old man hadn't finished speaking.

"I didn't expect the shelter we rely on to be exposed to the enemy so quickly, you're right, we have to do something, and now reality doesn't allow us to spend the rest of our lives in it in peace......," the old man continued.

"So, you plan to restart the 'Super Soldier Project', and fight another battle of technology with Xiguan Renai, and fight a battle to turn the tables." Gong Piqing said.

"No...... I haven't thought of a specific plan yet, but what you said is too difficult to achieve, now our level of technology and knowledge is not even half of what it was eight years ago, without those top scientists, our plan will be bottlenecked everywhere, the project that has reached a conclusion now needs to be done from scratch, the plan that can be completed in three years may now take five years or more, my subconscious tells me that our time does not allow for a real restart of the 'Super Soldier Project'... …”

"Xiguan Renai's scientific and technological progress in the past few years has been very great, if the Xiguan Renai Research Institute that I saw with Hades a few days ago is just an illusion covered by illusions, then Xiguan Renai's side should still be operating normally, I can go with Hades to break the illusion, and then bring those top scientists inside to us, with Hades' ability to suppress thoughts, they can't escape from our palms, it's really not good, let Hades move everything in their heads to his own head, In that way, he would become a scientist in his own right. Gong Piqing said.

The old man smiled lightly, "If the Hades King hears your calculations, he will definitely scold you in private......

"Yes, but he's the only one who has to do it."

"Xiguan Renai's side...... We are definitely going to go, but not now. The old man looked at him meaningfully and said, "Now that our positions have been exposed, the three of them have been seriously injured again, you are our only protector here, you can't leave, and even we can't be sure now that the enemy has laid a net in front of our house with three layers inside and three layers outside......

"I know, I'm not saying now, I'm going to stay with them until their injuries heal, I'm talking about waiting until all three of them recover." Gong Piqing added.

The old man fell into deep thought again, "What are you talking about...... I'll think about it carefully, but go to Xiguan Renai to kidnap scientists...... I don't think it's feasible, the risk factor is too great, although I don't doubt the strength of the four of you, but if Xiguan Renai's side feels that the scientists on his side can't be saved, it's hard to guarantee that they won't do anything to those scientists, so this is ...... We still have to think about it. ”

"As for your doubts about restarting the 'Super Soldier Project', I have actually discussed it with the Hades, and we also know that if we want to do this, we will face a lot of problems, but my idea is not to create a new batch of super soldiers with the same strength as the four of us to fight against the Demon World and Xiguan Renai, if we are very limited in terms of technology, it is also an option to copy and inject the abilities of the four of us." Gong Piqing said softly.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. The old man was curious.

"I told the two of them some time ago, if I have the mind ability of Hades, let Hades have Gaia's physical attributes, let the ghost have my mutation ability and let Gaia have the speed of ghosts, the shortcomings of the four of us will be supplemented to the greatest extent, compared with spending a lot of time and energy to create a group of super soldiers, wouldn't it be easier to achieve?" Gong Piqing said.

This time, he finally saw a flash of light in the old man's gaze, instead of the same helplessness and denial as before......
