Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 513 Negotiation
"Yambu Xingzou, you want to see me, right? Follow the signs and you will find me."

A deep male voice came from the loudspeaker in the corridor, and Qin Huai stopped and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"How did he know my identity? Was it Big Ben? Or someone else?"

With this question in mind, Qin Huai became extremely alert. Without staying for long, he changed his original route and began to explore the base "aimlessly".

Since it has been confirmed that Ilyich is most likely hiding in this base, Qin Huai, who has the advantage in military force, naturally does not want to lose the initiative and be led by others.

Rather than following the signs to an unknown location, he preferred to proceed slowly and gain control of the entire base before going to meet Ilyich.

Turning from the main corridor into the surrounding rooms, it is obvious that this underground base has just been reopened. Not only is it very spacious and clean, but the power supply, water purification, and air circulation are all very well done. It also has a large number of automatic weapon terminals, which is very consistent with the Russians' design aesthetic for military bases.

Qin Huai spent a few minutes walking around most areas of the base and found that no matter whether he encountered orcs, automatic weapon terminals, or other genetic soldiers, none of them attacked him again, which seemed to fully demonstrate Ilich's sincerity.

Seeing that he didn't find anything valuable, Qin Huai thought about it and decided not to stay in the periphery. Instead, he went straight to the core area, followed the green arrow in the corridor into the base, and came to a half-open tungsten steel door.

In front of the gate, a handsome, fair-skinned young man with slanting eyebrows was waiting quietly.

"Dear guest, please come with me."

Seeing Qin Huai coming late, the young man was neither anxious nor annoyed. He maintained a high level of self-control and turned around to take Qin Huai in.

Qin Huai opened [A Glimpse] out of habit, but was unable to gather any information from the handsome young man in front of him.

"Well, who are you?"

Qin Huai raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

"Yuri Vasilyevich Bondarev, you can just call me Yuri."

The young man smiled slightly, with an almost imperceptible gleam in his eyes.

""shore"?"

Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Qin Huai suddenly thought of a famous Russian writer.

"what is that?"

"nothing."

Seeing that Yuri's puzzled expression did not seem fake, Qin Huai shook his head, stopped testing him, and followed him into the tungsten steel gate.

After entering the room, there is an extremely spacious room, about a thousand square meters, with piles of documents and iron cabinets arranged in an orderly manner. In addition to several semi-new operating tables, there are also several rows of machines connected to many strange circuits, which are similar to those in Tianrui Base, and are all culture dish tanks left over from the old Soviet era.

Qin Huai counted them. There were four rows in total, with twenty-six in each row. There were cardboard signs on the bases with a series of Russian words written on them, from the light gold "Spring", "Summer", and "Autumn" in the first row to the inky black "Dark Spirit" at the end.

Looking through these glassware, except for the various "Jacques" brands, almost every vessel slot is empty, as if they have been left for a long time, and the inner and outer walls are covered with dust.

In the center of the room, there stood a huge machine with a purple-black shell. There was a complex single-arm fork rotating on it. From time to time, blue-purple electric arcs flashed and exploded at the tip, which really made people doubt its safety.

However, for such a strange machine that could have a high-voltage leakage accident at any time, there were sixteen bald old men wearing red robes and with identical body shapes and appearances sitting around it, seemingly engaged in some kind of deep meditation.

Behind a brown desk, an old man with a presence so strong that it could not be ignored put down his pen, raised his head, and looked straight at Qin Huai with a pair of golden eyes.

Along with this gaze, there is also a spiritual shock like a tsunami.

"A show of force?"

Qin Huai sneered in his heart, and his golden pupils that flashed with the clear light of glass were like vertical cracks, staring back mercilessly.

The two gazes collided, causing a loud thunderous sound. Countless tiny golden lightning bolts scattered and fell on the piles of paper documents, burning out charred holes.

"You really are the walking Yama from Big Ben!"

After seeing Qin Huai in person, Ilyich seemed to have finally confirmed something. He immediately stood up and left the desk where he had been working.

At the same time, a huge amount of information was also fed back to Qin Huai's iris through [Glance].

【Ilyich Grigorievich Ivanov】

He was awarded the Lenin Prize, the highest honor of the Soviet Union, the chief designer of the Endless Jacques, a geneticist with a wide range of interests, and an old warrior with firm beliefs.

At the same time, he is also a natural psychic with genetic mutations. Since childhood, he can listen to other people's voices and use his powerful mental power to accomplish all kinds of incredible things. As he grows older, he can even use mental insights to briefly observe the future!

Status: Red Watch (highest level 5), Psychic Jacques (natural ability)

Expertise: Genetics 110%, Telekinesis 100%
Threat level:? (He has no ill will towards you)
Comprehensive evaluation: Peak of the Seven Palaces (the limit of what this fruit can produce)

Note: He was originally a Bolshevik warrior with lofty ideals and the intention to save the winter, but due to the influence of certain people, he seemed to have gradually strayed away from his original goal.
[Red Watch]: This is a general term given by Ilyich to the genetic abilities he possesses. It has fully strengthened his body and gained all kinds of incredible supernatural abilities.

Note: Red Watch is just Illich's name for the Supreme Fifth Order, you can call it by any name, God Potion, Amazing Kryptonian, Destiny Jacques, or just the Supreme Fifth Order.

[Psychic Jacques]: As a supreme fifth-order neural network cluster, the Jacques gene can, after injection, ignite the Jacques map by contacting different Jacques gene samples, and continuously gain fourth-order genetic abilities until all the Jacques maps are ignited, reaching the supreme fifth order.

Note: For the owner of the Spirit Jacques, becoming a god on earth is only a matter of time.

"Born with a genetic mutation? Can someone survive this?"

After reading the information from [A Glimpse], Qin Huai was inevitably a little surprised. Even though he had previously guessed many possibilities, he had never expected that the so-called Psychic Jacques was a genetic ability developed from Ilich's own mutant genes.

"As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor. I chose to enter the field of genetics in order to survive."

As if he had heard Qin Huai's thoughts, Ilyich walked over and smiled amiably, motioning him to sit down and talk. "Then why did you quit the Big Ben Institute? After all, this top research institute that brings together scientific masters from all over the world should be more helpful to you than a charlatan like Lysenko, right?"

Qin Huai asked with a wry smile.

“Because at that point, I had already gotten what I wanted.”

Faced with such a sharp question, Illich pointed to a huge screen in the distance, on which was a DNA helix composed of countless formulas.

"Gene research algorithm? That's when you solved the potential risk of genetic collapse and stabilized the ability of [Psychic Jacques]?"

Hearing Ilyich telling him everything he knew, Qin Huai's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't have time to distinguish the truth from the false. He just wanted to get more information out of him first.

"Genes are God's code. Even for me, it took me decades to solve these minor problems. As for my withdrawal from the Big Ben Institute, the deeper reason is that Su Ling and I have different ideas."

Ilich sighed and said meaningfully: "Excuse me, considering the way you walk in Yamafu, most of the natives would not be able to tolerate the truth. I am no exception."

"People's struggles will not change because of anything anyone does. Even if Su Ling did fan the flames behind the scenes, if there weren't those ambitious people playing with power, Winter would never have become what it is now. There are good people in the bandit den, too. If you intend to generalize and put all the blame on us, the Yamafu Walkers, then I think there's no need for us to continue talking."

Qin Huai narrowed his eyes, and the sea-devouring whale in [Chaoyang Valley] was eager to try, and wanted to come out and make a big fuss immediately.

"Don't get me wrong. I know that we should settle accounts with the culprit. I brought you here because I want to negotiate a deal with you."

As he spoke, Ilyich snapped his fingers, and the strange instrument in the middle of the room suddenly flashed with lightning, and crackling sparks spurted out. As an invisible wave passed by, the scene in front of Qin Huai changed drastically, and the two of them suddenly appeared in a movie theater.

"Sumeru Illusion?"

Qin Huai felt a sense of familiarity and glanced at Ilyich. This man was bringing him more and more surprises.

First, there were the extraordinary genes that were born with mutations, and then there was the Sumeru illusion created by technological means. I really don’t know what other strange things he has in his hands.

"It's fine to talk about business, but I want to know where you got the term Yamabu Xingxing from."

Qin Huai, who was sitting on the sofa, turned his head, looked at Ilich who looked calm, and asked the question he was concerned about.

"I don't know if you know her, a woman named Yu Shu."

As he spoke, a photo appeared on the giant screen in front of the two of them. On it, dozens of people in white coats sat in several rows. Ilich pointed to the woman sitting in the front with a single ponytail and her hands in her pockets, and said slowly: "In the cold winter, she was a core researcher at the Big Ben Institute and the founder and major shareholder of Yunhai Pharmaceutical. She participated in and presided over many research and development experiments on genetic drugs and was one of the pioneers in the field of genetic drugs in Asia. Originally, I didn't have much friendship with her. I only met her a few times through Lysenko in some genetic experiments. But just two years ago, this woman who mysteriously disappeared more than ten years ago suddenly came to the top-secret Zog Port and told me about the walking of Yanfu."

"Tai Sui? Didn't she defect? ​​Why would she take such a huge risk to come to Ghost Winter?"

Qin Huai calculated the timeline in his mind and suddenly realized something.

The owner of this fruit, the ghost lord Su Ling, probably has a close relationship with that Tai Sui.

"What did you pay for the truth of this fruit?"

"This is the trial version of Red Watch. It is also the only fifth-order gene potion I have debugged so far."

Ilyich waved his hand, and the images on the giant screen began to change. "If it fell into the hands of Big Ben, this would be a huge achievement that could open three consecutive water park games. Unfortunately, they can't see it."

Looking at the images and audio-visual materials on the screen, Qin Huai also recalled the original intention of establishing Shuizhu Park in his heart.

Shuizhu Park is actually a salon gathering for the Yanfu people to exchange the progress of genetic drug research and development. Since the first fourth-level potion came out, it has been held a total of eighty-nine times. At its most frequent time, it was held more than ten times a year, and at least four or five times.

The first "Shuizhu Park" was held at the Washington ruins on the other side of the ocean. It was hosted by Su Ling, director of the Big Ben Research Institute. Most of the participants were agents of the Five Immortals, and the number was not large.

After that, the meetings at Shuizhu Park became more and more frequent. Qin Huai was able to see many old acquaintances in the photos provided by Ilyich. In addition to Yu Shu and Su Ling, there were also Yu Shiqie, Bu Yang, Wuwei Sanzang, Zhan Yuejin and even the only one of the Four Imperial Guardians of Yama, Yu Zhu Cao Yuanchao!

Although it was clear that Su Ling's Big Ben Research Institute had cooperative relationships with many agents in Yan Zhaohui, such a wide network of personal connections inevitably made Qin Huai realize once again the strong foundation of Lord Yanfu.

"Tell me about your so-called deal. You should know my position. I'm curious about what kind of bargaining chips you are going to offer."

Qin Huai crossed his hands and signaled Ilyich to get to the point.

Ilich smiled and took out a box. Inside was a crystal pyramid made of stacked transparent small boxes.

Qin Huai looked carefully and found that each transparent box contained a small bottle of golden liquid, each engraved with different miniature Russian characters.

The word "Spirit" is engraved on the outside of the golden liquid bottle with colorful light at the top, and the four small boxes holding it below are the Jacques of the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

"This is a set of blood and flesh samples and research data on all 105 types of Yak genes in the Yak Atlas. It includes my own gene sample. As long as you have enough patience, you can also possess the highest fifth-order genetic ability with it."

Ilich pointed to the Jacques at the top and continued, "This is the result of more than 50 years of research in Zog Harbor with the full support of our great motherland. There should have been a finished product, Red Watch, but unfortunately you came too early. The entire Winter, including the Big Ben Institute, will never have such a comprehensive genetic map."

"sounds good."

The black ripples disappeared in an instant. After confirming that what Ilyich said was true, Qin Huai nodded slightly: "Tell me, what do you want?"

"My request is simple. Either help me rebuild the Soviet Union in the winter, or take us away and find a new fruit to continue civilization."

Ilyich looked at Qin Huai and spoke seriously word by word.

"Hmm? I thought you were going to ask me to help you kill the culprit who caused all this, or destroy the Big Ben Institute to vent your anger."

Qin Huai raised his eyebrows, as if he was joking.

"In my opinion, politics, order, power, desire... in short, everything is insignificant in the situation where humans are almost extinct in the Winter Era."

Ilyich's expression straightened: "Destruction is always easier than creation, but someone muster up the courage to pick up the rusty hammer and sickle again for the survival of mankind and the continuation of civilization."
