Eternal Night

Chapter 210 Killed

The entire Yantian City was in a complete shock!
Wu Xianxiao had just arrived in your place, so naturally he didn't understand many details of this world.

Li Mucha and the other three were mercenaries at the bottom of the society. They actually didn't understand these things. Although Li Xianchun knew these details, she had just recovered from being seriously injured and dying, and her spirit was not good. She also thought Wu Xianxiao knew these things, so she didn't remind him.

The reason why it caused a sensation in Yantian City was that Wu Xianxiao insisted on pulling the entire shell of the fortress snail back to Yantian City. If he was the only one who pulled it back, it would also cause a sensation in the whole city, but the point of the sensation would be different from the current point.

Because it was the Security Guild’s convoy that pulled back the Fortress Snail.

The three major guilds in this world, the Mercenary Guild, the Researcher Guild, and the Security Guild, are both secretly confronting each other and interdependent. They almost encompass everything about humanity in this post-apocalyptic era of the biochemical beast craze. In the application of biochemical beasts, the three major guilds also have their own uses. After obtaining the biochemical beasts, it is almost impossible for them to give them to each other. They are usually digested internally.

Wu Xianxiao almost pulled the entire Fortress Snail back to Yantian City, and even asked the Security Guild's convoy to pull it away. This immediately made the people in Yantian City think that the Security Guild was going to take the Fortress Snail to the Mercenary Guild to collect the bounty. All these things made many discerning people frightened, and they all felt that a storm was about to come.

To put it bluntly, among the three major guilds, the Security Guild has the strongest military force and the most super machines, followed by the Researchers Guild. However, the Researchers Guild has many pre-war cutting-edge technologies and a systematic training of researchers, scientists and other knowledge accumulation, so it is not much worse than the Security Guild. Only the Mercenaries Guild is actually a rising star, with the weakest strength and the worst foundation. It has to unite with the people and give benefits to the people in order to coexist with the other two guilds.

The so-called bounty target is actually the bounty of the Mercenary Guild. The Researcher Guild and the Security Guild have never had any bounty lists. The Mercenary Guild relies on a large number of mercenaries to obtain a large amount of biochemical beast materials, and a part of these biochemical beast materials needs to be transferred to the other two guilds in order to make these two guilds recognize the water ticket as an equivalent exchange.

This is the way the world works.

The Security Guild's convoy took the bounty-beasts to the Mercenary Guild to collect the bounty... This in itself was a major event that affected the world situation!
If we have to categorize it, it is probably equivalent to Wu Xianxiao's 21st century era, when Chouguo and Xiaorizi jointly established an army, and then let Xiaorizi's people become the commander-in-chief of this joint army. It really shocked the world.

But as a visitor from outside, Wu Xianxiao knew nothing about this. He happily got the ticket from the front desk of the Mercenary Guild. He ignored the strange expressions of the employees, turned around and strode into the city, starting to look for an area in the city suitable for buying a house.

"But why was there no prompt to set up a shelter?"

Wu Xianxiao was a little confused. He clearly saw that after the shell of the fortress snail was transported to Yantian City, whether it was the soldiers guarding the city wall, all the people along the way, or the employees of the mercenary guild, they all looked shocked.

Obviously, he was able to hunt down this fortress snail in one fell swoop, and this fact has shocked the world. According to his thinking, he should be able to at least set up a first-level event-type shelter. You know, in the original Castlevania world, he set up a shelter just by entering Castlevania, and the shock brought by his meeting gift this time should be even greater.

"Perhaps it's because the message was not passed on and is limited to this city. Or maybe this world is a little special and even more powerful than the Castlevania world?"

Wu Xianxiao couldn't figure this out, but he wasn't worried. As long as he continued to fight in this world, he could always set up an event-type shelter.

When one has great power within oneself, one will not be easily deceived by the outside world, unless the power of the outside world is far more powerful than one's own.

On the other hand, the Security Guild, Researcher Guild, and Mercenary Guild all quickly passed the news to the upper levels, but the information passed on was different.

The Security Association conveyed information about the existence of Wu Xianxiao, including photos and videos of the scene, as well as descriptions from many officers, among which the most common was speculation about super soldiers.

The information conveyed by the Mercenary Guild and the Researcher Guild was just the intelligence record about the Security Guild suddenly sending bounty-level biochemical beasts to the Mercenary Guild. Both guilds were asking their superiors whether something had happened to the Security Guild, or whether the Mercenary Guild and the Security Guild had any tendency to unite.

In short, without Wu Xianxiao's knowledge, all kinds of undercurrents, rumors, and speculations had begun to ferment.

That night, at the Security Guild's headquarters several cities away, dozens of officials and officers gathered in a conference room for a meeting. Most of them had no idea what was going on and were whispering to each other. But after the senior official presiding over the meeting played pictures and videos of Major Jia's troops, the entire scene fell silent.

“…Is it a robot?!”

Someone immediately asked, but someone next to him retorted: "We have also studied the robot project and even built several prototypes, but what are the results? Once the manufacturing is completed, it will take no more than a year for the biochemical beast to mutate and become a biochemical monster with a bounty level of at least 30,000 tons."

Someone else also refuted: "It's not just us. The other mercenary guilds and researcher guilds must have done similar research. Since super soldiers have not appeared yet, we naturally want to use robots to artificially create super soldiers, but it's impossible. We already know that this world has been completely shrouded in the inexplicable virus or radiation of biochemical beasts. Apart from intelligence, other things have no way to isolate the deformation of biochemical beasts."

The video on the stage was still going on. When everyone saw the shells bounce off Wu Xianxiao and the explosion did not hurt him at all, and then he slapped a heavy tank, a steel behemoth weighing about 80 to 100 tons, and sent it flying more than 20 meters away, everyone was performing facial expressions on the spot. They were all senior executives of the security guild, and each of them was well-informed. In their eyes, a fortress snail weighing more than 10,000 tons was just weak scum. Only regional security teams would find it scary, and the truly scary top-level biochemical beasts could not even be expressed by the bounty amount.

But no matter how knowledgeable they were, they had never seen a human being slap a heavy tank away with one blow, and they couldn't even imagine that.

"…Is this really a super soldier!?"

"Is there really flesh and blood inside him?"

"Capture him immediately! What are you waiting for!"

"Capture? How to capture? Do you know how terrifying the mobility of a humanoid-sized being that can blow away a heavily armored tank with a single blow and whose defense is so strong that even artillery shells cannot penetrate it is?"

The officials and officers in the conference room immediately became noisy, talking and discussing the situation.

There were seven old men in the conference room. They had been silent the whole time. When the video finished playing, they looked at each other and exchanged glances. One of the old men said, "We can't let his news spread. The legend of the super soldier has been around for a long time. And I don't know when it started. The legend gradually became that the super soldier is the world's redeemer and savior. Many civilians also believe it. If the outside world knows about his existence, many people and mercenaries will gather around him. This is not good and must be avoided!"

Another old man also said: "It is necessary to block the news, and it is not necessary to capture him. As you all saw, he was the first to be attacked, but he did not kill anyone. He was just asserting his authority. This shows that he is intelligent and rational. No matter if he is a machine or a monster under the skin, he is intelligent and rational, which means he can communicate... Then why not recruit him?"

Everyone in the conference room was shocked when they heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, they all applauded.

The reason why the outside world cannot be informed of the appearance of super soldiers is to avoid the so-called savior effect. However, if this savior is organized by them, then all of this will not be a problem, and even the security guild will publicize it with fanfare.

"Wealth, status, power, and the glory of saving the world. As long as he joins our guild, he can obtain all of these."

The old man smiled and said, "Besides, we are not those crazy people in the Researchers' Guild. They would probably want to slice it up for research, but we sincerely hope that he will join our big family. For example, we can add one more place to the seven old guys, right?"

"Of course, there must be a prerequisite, that is, he sincerely joins our guild and confirms that he is really a super soldier. As long as this is confirmed, then..."

"The Origin Project will be restarted. The great cause of saving this world can really be accomplished in our generation!"

There was silence in the meeting room, but after a few seconds there was a sudden commotion, with everyone cheering loudly. Even the other six old men applauded after careful consideration.

At this time, someone asked, "What about the other two guilds?"

The old man said, "Concealment, ambiguity, delaying time, do you still need me to teach you these? As long as he joins our guild, all of this will no longer be a problem."

Someone else asked, "Then...what if he doesn't want to join our guild? What if he really is a super soldier, has his own strength, and is arrogant? What should we do then?"

The conference room suddenly fell silent again.

The seven old men looked at each other and then laughed.

"Then there is no need for him to exist. Super soldiers... or the existence of suspected super soldiers. Our guild, the mercenary guild, the researcher guild..."

"It's not like we haven't killed before."
