Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 186 I have to go see him
They're all exactly the same people.
The first thought that came to Chen Jian’s mind was cloning.

But it is obvious that 100 years after the catastrophe, it is absolutely impossible for any organization or any force to still retain the ability to clone humans.

This is not a question of technical difficulty.

In fact, from a purely medical and biological perspective, cloning technology is not impossible.

However, the extremely high level of coordination and management required by this technology has definitely exceeded the limits of the post-apocalyptic era.

There are a large number of machine tools in 011. You can make machines by throwing raw materials in.

Do you clone humans?
What? You want to put the fertilized egg into the mother's belly and produce clones like on an assembly line?
What wishful thinking!
Chen Jian knew very well how unrealistic this idea was, but if he was asked to judge what the mimicry heresy was, he could not give a suitable answer.

Unexpectedly, even the mystery of "Fuxi" has been solved, but there has not been much progress on the mystery of the mimicry heresy.

The only part that can be called "key information" is the part related to the so-called "beast tide".

In this part, the importance of the beast tide itself is far greater than that of the mimic heresy.
Chen Jian let out a long breath, dispelling the slightly messy thoughts in his mind.

Then, he spoke:
"You are right about one thing. We do need to deepen our cooperation."

“This is especially true when it comes to information sharing.”

"So, you have been to Luzhou? What did you find there?"

After he finished speaking, Wang Lizi paused and did not answer immediately, but asked back:
"Can you exchange it for the information you found in the Jinling ruins?"

"No."

Chen Jian shook his head decisively, and then said:
"When I say sharing, I mean you share with us, not us sharing with you."

".Understood."

Wang Lizi smiled bitterly and said:

"In fact, I had already guessed that this would be the answer."

"But it doesn't matter. Our ultimate goal is just to reach the mountain city and restart the ring."

"As long as you can help us in this regard, we can make concessions on other issues."

"There is nothing special in the Luzhou ruins. There are two level three monsters there. After bypassing the monsters, we entered the underground treasure house in the ruins."

"We found some well-preserved equipment in the treasure house that was obviously under Level 1 control. We have brought it back to Jinling City."

"Next, we will transport these devices back to the headquarters for storage."

"give it to me."

Chen Jian said:
"Didn't you say you would give us access to the first-level equipment? Then we want this batch of stuff."

".I can give it to you, but it must be done in the form of a transaction."

"You have entered the Jinling Ruins and apparently opened the treasure house. You may even have found clues related to the mountain city."

"You can use these clues to exchange this batch of first-level equipment with us, we..."

"No change."

Chen Jian shook his head and said:
"This information is too important for us to reveal to anyone else until the time is right."

"But, I can give you an option contract."

"As long as you buy now, I can guarantee that when we enter the mountain city in the future, you will have the same exploration rights as us."

".How can you guarantee that?"

Wang Lizi looked straight into Chen Jian's eyes, and it was obvious that he had begun to be tempted by this "option".

"We guarantee it with our reputation."

Chen Jian shook his head and said:
"Don't you understand? Our promise itself is something valuable."

“Why would we choose to maintain a cooperative relationship with you?”

"Isn't it essentially because you are a relatively 'normal' force in this wasteland?"

"Your goal is nothing more than to restart the ring and save this apocalypse."

"Although I don't know what the ring is, and although your methods don't seem so glorious, but in any case, your priority is higher than the Holy Blood Temple and the Mechanicus."

"So you should also know that there is no need for us to exclude you."

"If you understand this, you should know that if you want to make progress, you shouldn't negotiate with the organization."

".Now, you are indeed qualified to negotiate with us in this way."

Wang Lizi laughed at himself, then sighed:
"In just over three months, you have come this far."

"Then you are even faster than those mimic heretics."

"I accept your conditions. I will consult the leader and give you a final answer."

"But before that, I can make my own decision and send you the goods found in Luzhou."

"To be honest, we really don't know what the purpose of those carefully preserved things is."

"But maybe you will know how to use it."

"Pleasant to work with."

Chen Jian extended his hand to Wang Lizi, who also extended his hand and then said solemnly:

"Pleasant to work with."

After Wang Lizi left, the nine core members of the Huaxia Army, including Huang Yu, all gathered together.

Fuxi has given a verdict on the authenticity of all the information provided by Wang Lizi, with a credibility of over 70%.

In fact, even without the help of Fuxi's analysis, Chen Jian could basically see that Wang Lizi did not lie to him about these things.

This then puts a new problem before Chen Jian.

"When will the so-called beast tide happen, and in what form will it happen?"

He raised this question, but no one could give an accurate judgment.

After all, no one had personally experienced the so-called "beast tide".

Therefore, there is only one choice left for the Chinese army.

Chen Jian took a deep breath and said:
"Neither the Mechanicus nor the Holy Blood Temple can be trusted."

"If the beast tide really happens and is aimed at us, then it is possible that the Mechanicus will even add insult to injury when we are in trouble."

"After all, that's what they did when the 'plague' of mimic heretics occurred."

"So, we have to prepare in advance."

"The recovery and reconstruction of 011 Fortification and 011 Base must be accelerated."

"We must expand our sphere of influence as quickly as possible at all costs, especially by rolling out cellular network coverage as quickly as possible."

"Only in this way can we expand our danger perception zone as much as possible without satellite assistance."

“So the plan is very clear.”

"The second-level monsters have been cleared out, but the smaller monsters that affect the living environment have not been completely cleared out."

"Unmanned equipment alone is not efficient enough and the losses are too great."

"It's time for our 'second line troops' to push forward."

"Yellow Fish, you have trained these warriors well. Now it is time for the organization and the people to test you."

"After returning to Base 011, take them out for some actual combat training!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yu suddenly stood up.

Then he answered loudly:
"Yes!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

At the same time, just when Chen Jian had just sent Wang Lizi away, the first batch of Mechanicus troops who had rushed to Jinling for support from other cities had also arrived.

Zhang Tao, commander of the 15th Guards Brigade, thought he would see a devastated city. After all, when he received the order, the situation in Jinling City was already critical.

But he didn't expect that what he saw after entering the city was a prosperous scene that was no different from the Jinling City he had seen countless times before.

People's lives have been restored, merchants are trading enthusiastically, and even the streets in some areas have become cleaner and tidier than before. Zhang Tao has no idea what is going on. He has only heard sporadic rumors about the battle.

Giant elephants galloping across the wasteland, artillery fire raining down from the sky, warriors wearing heavy armor, and robots controlled by machine spirits to fight autonomously.
Zhang Tao had heard many stories about the "triumph of the Mechanicus army", but none of them was so exaggerated.

He even doubted whether the war had actually been fought.

He knew too well the nature of those high and mighty bishops.

Maybe this is just a show jointly performed by them and Huadu, just to continue to expand the influence of the Mechanicus.

But soon, his doubts were dispelled after he received new orders.

On the way to the outside of the city to receive the prisoners, he saw those "mechanical warriors" with his own eyes, as well as hundreds of wounded Huadu prisoners, and the bodies of Huadu people piled up and waiting to be burned.

At this moment, he even felt that he was hallucinating.

Depend on.

Has the God of All Things really arrived?
Did the Holy Trinity really bestow its divine power?
Zhang Tao was both excited and doubtful.

When he finally saw the commander of the 4th Guards Brigade, Jin Zhong, who was also cleaning up the battlefield and receiving prisoners like him, he almost couldn't wait to rush in front of him and asked:
“Did we really win?”

Looking at this brother whom he had not seen for a long time, Jin Zhong really couldn't bear to burst the beautiful fantasy that he might have just built up.

But he couldn't lie.

Because in the face of the powerful truth, no lie can stand.

So he sighed deeply and then replied:

".No."

“We didn’t win.”

"It was the Chinese Army that won the battle in Huadu."

"Chinese Army?"

Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, as if he was extremely unfamiliar with the name.

Jin Zhong could only remind:
"Those are the Mimicry Heretics, the Mimicry Heretics in Yellowstone City."

"them?!"

Zhang Tao was stunned.

"They won the battle against Huadu?"

"Yes, a big victory. To be more precise, an overwhelming victory."

".How many of them are there?"

Zhang Tao asked.

"Eight people."

"8 people?! Did they use the same weapons as those used in Yellowstone again??"

"No, not this time. They used tanks, what we call 'Sacred Elephants'."

".This is simply impossible."

Zhang Tao's eyes were filled with disbelief, but Jin Zhong smiled bitterly and said:

"But that's what it is."

"Everything you see is their work. They brought a large number of machines with souls that we cannot understand. These machines helped them to easily wipe out the enemies in Huadu without any casualties."

"I know it's hard for you to believe this, and I know you may be disappointed with our failure, but..."

"No, I'm not disappointed at all."

Zhang Tao suddenly interrupted Jin Zhong, and then a playful smile appeared in his eyes.

"I was just surprised."

“But I’m not disappointed.”

"In fact, before I came here, I was ready to take over an empty city."

"You don't believe we can hold on?"

Jin Zhong asked in astonishment.

"Are you kidding me? You want to stop the 3,000 people in Huadu with just the few hundred people left?"

“Don’t even think about relying on a few hundred of you. Even if the Saint hadn’t decided to go on an expedition before this, with sufficient troops and weapons, it would be impossible for Jinling City to be defended.”

"Brother, don't you understand?"

"The Skitarii are no longer the Skitarii they once were, and the Archbishops are no longer the Archbishops they once were."

"Failure is inevitable, even I doubt it, Saint"

"Keep your voice down!"

Jin Zhong immediately interrupted Zhang Tao and then frowned and said:

"You shouldn't talk about these things!"

"How did you become so reckless? You were not like this when you left Jinling!"

"If you were stationed in a city far from the core for a few years like I did, I believe you would become even more reckless than I am."

Zhang Tao spread his hands and said:
"Okay, let's not talk about this topic."

"No matter what, defeating Huadu and defending Jinling is a good thing after all."

"So what's next? What's the Saint's plan?"

"The Saint will begin formal negotiations with the Chinese Army today."

Jin Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"I heard that the Huaxia Army has made many demands on us and will make more demands at the negotiation site."

“And the sad thing is that it is simply impossible for us to oppose these demands.”

"But even a saint would not accept everything."

"He is dispatching most of the guards brigades in the south and ordering them to rush to Nanjing within two days."

"Perhaps, the saint wants to use this to put pressure on the Chinese army to force them to give in."

"force?"

Zhang Tao laughed and then said:

"That's the funniest joke I've ever heard."

“Where does the saint get his confidence from?”

"To be honest, instead of calling back all of our brigade commanders one by one, it would be more practical to have him kneel down and beg the leaders of the Chinese Army."

".You can't be so disrespectful to a saint."

Jin Zhong shook his head and didn't respond.

The scene he saw in the manor yesterday flashed before his eyes.

The saint fell to the ground in a panic at the feet of the man named Chen Jian.
How is it different from kneeling?
Jin Zhong will not tell Zhang Tao about this matter. This is his bottom line.

But he also knew that the lofty impression of the saint in his heart had been completely destroyed.
At this time, the work of receiving prisoners had come to an end, and the soldiers of the Guards Brigade began to organize their troops and return to Jinling City.

Seeing the sun rising high, Zhang Tao suddenly asked:

“When was the negotiation?”

"It's said to be four o'clock in the afternoon. What's the matter?"

Zhang Tao smiled slightly and then replied:
"There's still time."

"Before they officially start the negotiations, I have to find a reason to meet those so-called Chinese soldiers!"
