As the days passed, the mutation gradually changed from a sudden event to common sense accepted by most people.

Life is at a steady pace, and something seems to have changed, but it's not noticeable.

The Council went from initial anger and expectation to disappointment.

The new generation dominated by zero has not stopped, and the wave set off by them has intensified.

Gradually, some people have begun to seriously think about the conditions that Zero has put forward to them, which is like a Pandora's box, once it is opened, it is impossible to turn back.

It was a difficult decision.

Among the reforms proposed by the new generation is the current economic and resource allocation change, in which the annual payment for projects used to develop new drugs and extend their life as much as possible is considered unnecessary expenses, as long as this part of the funds is reduced, this fund can be used to immediately improve the treatment of employees and social welfare.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are processes that everyone will go through, and it is a judgment that it is worth the loss to spend a lot of manpower and material resources for the life of a few people.

However, for those who are over 150 years old, this reform is undoubtedly a suspended death sentence.

In the past few years, the biopharmaceutical research project has reached a bottleneck, and the development of new technologies has been delayed, which has caused each of them to fall into a deep anxiety, and the drugs and biotechnology at their disposal can only maintain their state, and they can clearly feel that their vitality is weakening, and they are closer to death with each passing day.

Once the research on this project is stopped, even in the most optimistic scenario, they will have less than five years left.

What's more, they know that the changes set off by Zero will not stop there.

When they wake up every day, they can still see the business empire they have created, and unlike their dying vitality, their empire is still thriving, and it may be able to reach new heights under the leadership of a new generation.

But at the same time, they can also see that the empire that once belonged to them is falling into the hands of others.

The more things you have, the more you fear death coming.

However, all this has become a sure fact.

The existence of the link of consciousness has rendered the Council completely useless, and now companies and families no longer need to listen to any instructions that their people come together to discuss.

In Zero's words, their contribution to the coalition government will not be erased, and although the investment of resources has been stopped, as long as they don't make too much noise, she and her team will let them have a relatively quiet old age.

What is even more difficult for them to accept than the life that is about to run out of oil is to see the empire that originally belonged to them become someone else's spoils.

Zero, the new generation, or the black hand that exists above them, really manipulates all this behind the scenes, and has never shown their faces in front of anyone.

And all of this is ultimately to blame on Song Lan.

This man proved to everyone how unreliable he really was.

When Zero rebelled, the guy researched new recipes at home.

When Zero swept away all obstacles from the council and kept the company and family in the palm of their hand, their last remaining intelligence officer captured the image of the cargo riding his bicycle to the supermarket to buy something.

And now, in the early morning when the overall situation has been decided, there is reliable information that Mr. Song Lan is sleeping lazily in his bedroom at home.

Because Zero, after meeting with H1, gave them a month's long vacation, the kind of paid leave.

What's even more annoying is that no matter when and how they find Song Lan, the latter will tell them with a serious face that he is taking the matter seriously and has already achieved phased results.

He used Lu Xiang's relationship in the counterintelligence department to find out a shocking story - the person who has been working as a security guard by Zero's side is the former six-star rescuer "Wild Bone"!

It's shocking!

After a week-long investigation and layout, this bastard finally found out what they had told each other on the first day!

Recently, councillors have reduced the number of meetings with Ms. Song.

They already had less than five years left to live, and they obviously felt that the more times they met Song Lan would drastically reduce their limited lifespan.

A few days ago, the founder of military science and technology was so angry that Song Lan was admitted to the ICU after a meeting.

Now some people suspect that Song Lan has actually been bought by Zero a long time ago, or that he is actually the mastermind behind the scenes who has never appeared in public.

The die is cast.

Even if they are unwilling in their hearts, it will not help, they have experienced the third war, and they have also experienced the process of the world from disorder to reorganization, and it is they who have gradually transformed the world into what they want to see, so no one knows the truth of the winner better than them.

From a historical perspective, they are those who have been rejected by the tide of the new era.

The people who accompany them have also changed.

From those who have been chosen by them since childhood and worshipped them as gods, to the "eyeliner" inserted by their side, the care of the people under them is still meticulous, but as long as they open their eyes every day, they will feel like they are being choked by the throat.

And in this early morning, Song Lan met a familiar figure on the way downstairs for a walk.

The roar of the hovercar came from above his head, and the man who still maintained the posture of the elite in the workplace came into view, and the moment he saw Song Lan through the car window, the man hid his disgust from the depths of his heart.

"Good morning, Wei, Wei......"

"Wicks."

The man pushed the gold-rimmed glasses and said coldly.

"Mr. Wicks, this time you're here to inspect the work? As you can see, I'm training for the upcoming fight. ”

Today's special training content - walk around the courtyard of the community three times.

Lu Xiang said that moderate exercise is good for physical health, and can also improve his old problem of back pain to a certain extent, and during this month's paid leave, she formulated a detailed exercise plan for Song Lan.

"Not anymore."

"Oh, I almost forgot, you don't work in the Council anymore, you were transferred to a military science and technology job a few days ago, this can be regarded as a promotion, congratulations."

Hearing this, the man frowned, and his eyes were obviously much more vicious.

During this time, he and Mr. Wicks were also old acquaintances, and whenever there was any latest news to convey to him, Mr. Wicks would take a hovercar to his house, and even Uncle Li kept the other party in mind.

Song Lan witnessed the change in Wicks' attitude, which was also the epitome of the last group of supporters.

From the initial theory of "gunman and gun", to the pressure of "urgent, please act now", and then to the later plea of "do well, time is running out", and just a few days ago, when the founder of military technology was admitted to the ICU after interviewing him due to his temper, the most loyal secretary finally blackened.

Lu Xiang said that Mr. Wicks submitted his resignation to the council in the evening of the same day, and then wore a nutritional injection and single-handedly broke into the office of Zero in Military Technology.

After that, he joined the company's board of directors and temporarily replaced the founder of the ICU, who was responsible for maintaining public relations for military technology.

Although there is no change in rank, it is a department with real power.

"Minister Zero wants to meet you, and it shouldn't take up too much of your time."

Wicks turned sideways so that Song Lan could see another familiar face sitting beside him.

Armed Technology's new security captain, Arabone, is also involved in the operation, and his old friend is scanning him with his prosthetic eye that glows with a pale blue glow.

Song Lan once again calmly got into the back seat of the hovercar, and this position was about to become his exclusive seat recently.

Zero's invitation came a little later than he expected.

It seems that they have finally cleared all the obstacles and are finally free to deal with "unstable factors" like him.

Thinking about it carefully, this was the first time he had visited the military science and technology headquarters building.

In the past, when he usually rubbed Lu Xiang's hovercar after work in the evening, he glanced at this high-rise building from a distance.

The building is always lit up at all times, and the workers inside work day and night, they have a more important mission than other companies, and every weapon they develop and manufacture is related to the military power of the coalition government.

When he entered, Zero was already waiting at the entrance.

The white coat as always, and the light makeup painted to hide the dark circles under her eyes, she didn't look any different from the last time we met.

"Welcome."

Zero greeted her, and she gestured to the others with her eyes, and Wicks and the others quickly left, leaving only the mountain-like steel body of the "Wild Bone" behind the two of them, meticulously carrying out the security work.

If he let Wicks choose for himself, he wouldn't want to stay with Song Lan for even a moment.

"I really didn't expect to end up meeting you in such a way."

Zero feelings.

They had expected hundreds of scenes when they met Song Lan, whether it was a battlefield full of corpses and bones, or on a ruined ground, but none of them could start in such a calm way.

One of the big reasons why all their plans went so smoothly was that Song Lan, who was regarded as a hole card by the council, was in a state of passive sabotage from beginning to end, not only did not play any positive role, but also put the founder of military science and technology in the ICU so angry.

It is not too much to use 0 damage to the enemy and 12,000 self-damage.

In fact, most of their plans were based on Song Lan as an imaginary enemy, and in the event of a war with him, among the hundreds of futures predicted by RT1, the only outcome would be the destruction of the first district and even the major cities where other companies were located, so they had prepared assets and means of production from the beginning, as well as a large number of post-war reconstruction plans.

Zero doesn't know Song Lan, the only information that military technology has is that this person can kill the "wild bones" in a state of rage in an instant, according to RT1's assessment, Song Lan is undoubtedly the most terrifying enemy they have encountered so far.

She stared at Song Lan's face carefully for a long time.

The most dangerous figure in the coalition government to date yawned in front of her, as if she hadn't fully woken up.

Military Science and Technology has a special intelligence team that has been paying attention to Song Lan's movements at all times, and to everyone's surprise, the latter has recently lived a three-point and one-line life of exercising, buying groceries, and going home to cook every day.

He gets along well with the people around him and has an excellent image in the community, and the residents of the community hope that this sunny and reliable young man can join the neighborhood committee.

The intelligence officers seriously doubted that they had made a mistake with the subject of the investigation, this person was not dangerous from head to toe, and even when they tried to talk to Song Lan in private, they were enlightened by the other party, helping the intelligence officers regain their confidence in life and love for life.

Rao is a well-informed Zero, who was also confused by this series of news.

At this meeting, Zero was finally able to ask the doubts that had been pent up in his heart, "Song Lan, I have a personal question I want to ask you, is it possible...... Are you actually supporting our reforms? ”

This point seems to be glimpsed from Song Lan's attitude towards the council and work.

"Yes, of course yes."

Song Lan said, "Reducing unnecessary expenses and using them to increase social welfare and employee treatment, as well as your recent proposal to avoid unnecessary internal friction in the workplace, can effectively reduce working hours, allow employees to get enough rest, and at the same time mobilize work enthusiasm and productivity. ”

……

The elevator door closed slowly, and Zero One was speechless for a while.

From a standpoint, Song Lan is their number one enemy and the biggest threat to the new era, but this dangerous element recognized the reforms they had implemented and praised her to her face.

Being able to get Song Lan's recognition even made her mood a little excited for the first time in a long time.

No, it's mostly just a negotiation technique.

Zero admonished himself in his heart.

She froze and said, "In that case, how can the actions of the Qi River, the Rebels, the Eclipse Cult, and the Barossa Clan be explained?" As far as I know, they've been investigating the location of the Devourer, with the ultimate goal of breaking the mind link, and these organizations are all inextricably linked to you. ”

"Up to now, your ideas and the reforms you have implemented are developing in a good direction, and if there are more people with lofty ideals like you, I can rest assured that I will be able to take indefinite vacations."

If you can, who doesn't want the world to be peaceful and be able to stay at home and enjoy a nourishing life every day?

"But unfortunately, the people who dictate to you don't seem to be satisfied with that, and if they don't get rid of my obstacle, they may not even be able to sleep."

Hearing this, Zero was stunned for a moment, and the moment she looked at Song Lan, she had a feeling that she had been seen through.

A cold feeling crept up her spine, an aura that seemed to be death-specific.

For Song Lan's invitation, it was indeed a Hongmen banquet from the beginning.

But since the other party has seen through this, why should he go to the appointment alone?

In addition to the relationships she mentioned above, Military Technology has also investigated that he has a close friend in the neutral country that he calls "Old Void", and if these forces are combined, they will form a force to be reckoned with.

The outcome of this war is still unknown.

"In that case, why did you go to the appointment alone?"

"Because I've been waiting for you."

“……？”

Zero became more and more confused.

"If it is a failure caused by rash action, there will be many reasons such as 'insufficient preparation' and 'teammates are too weak', and these unwillingness will evolve into many unnecessary troubles in the future."

"Mr. Song Lan, I don't understand what you mean."

"I'm waiting for you to be ready."

Song Lan said, "Whether it's setting traps, researching my abilities, or gathering all the power and intelligence you can get, if you still lose in such a situation, you should be able to learn to give up." ”

"Ding—"

The elevator reached the designated floor.

Located beneath the Military Technology Building, they spent a lot of time and energy to create this cage full of psionic suppression fields, known as the tombs of psionic beings.

But Zero suddenly realized that since he met Song Lan, the other party had never asked where this road would lead.

Obviously, they are the ones who set the trap, but why does she feel like she is being held in the palm of her hand?

"Minister Zero."

Before stepping out of the elevator, Song Lan asked, "I just want to confirm one thing, this time, you are indeed ready, right?" ”

Thanks to Lohiliu for the 500 starting coins!

The small theater of its three hundred and fifty-five:

Tuesday, evening, year, month, day

Guan Lili knew for the first time that artificial intelligence would also faint.

In Lu Xiang's words, this is likely to be a downtime caused by an error reported by the intelligence center, and the RT6 lying in the arms of the "Emperor" has a red face to the base of his neck, and his prosthetic eyes have become mosquito-shaped circles, as if they are stuck in the loading screen.

"So what now?"

The "Emperor" was a little helpless, after all, this was the first time that RT6 had such a big reaction in front of him.

"Take advantage of the victory and pursue."

Song Lan said, "Yes, this is the action, this is called the princess hug, you use this action to carry her back to your room." ”

"And then?"

"Then I'll talk about it tomorrow, I haven't had time to learn the next lesson."

"Understood."

Watching the "Emperor" go away with the RT6 in a circle-eyed state, Lu Xiang felt a feeling, she got up, spread her hands, and hung on Song Lan's back like a koala.

"Lao Lu, what's wrong with you?"

"I've been sitting with you for a day, and my legs are numb."

Just like his fragile waist, Lu Xiang's legs often have problems, and he will be so numb that he can't walk every once in a while, and he needs to carry it on his back to go home.

In this regard, Song Lan has long been familiar with the road, "Guan Lili, Lao Lu's legs are numb, I'll carry her back first." ”

"Ahh

Under the moonlight, Guan Lili stood alone at the door of the burger restaurant, and the moonlight at this moment was like the lights of the stage, hitting her alone, and the atmosphere of being alone was especially obvious at this moment.

Hiss.

Guan Lili gasped.

Who kicked her again?
