Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 187 The Beginning

"Huh? Is it shedding its tail to survive? This thing... could it actually be a living organism?"

When Liu Ke saw 'Jelly's' amazing antics, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, staring in disbelief.

After all, the appearance and 'texture' of that pink unidentified object were really special. Liu Keyuan thought it was a 'prop' driven by Wang Zhenqiu using some kind of secret method.

But when he saw 'Jelly' choose to shoot itself out, he knew that the thing was most likely some kind of life form.

Liu Keyuan had been thinking of capturing 'Jelly' to see what it was, but now he was too embarrassed to let the greyhound chase after it anymore.

The reason is simple: 'Jelly' is a living being that can obey Wang Zhenqiu's commands. It might just be someone's exotic pet. If you don't know, fine, but if you do know, it's a bit much to try to kill it and force it to be taken.

……

The Puling alien, that is... Wang Zhenqiu's jelly 'partner,' is currently constantly stretching its fleshy pillar, alternately sticking to the upper part, and using it to pull itself, desperately trying to escape.

The reason it fled in such a hurry is simple: such a 'tail-shedding survival' maneuver will eventually consume a lot of energy.

Therefore, the 'life essence' remaining in its body is already nearing its lowest point. If it is attacked again, it may lose consciousness and become a true fleshy Ganoderma lucidum.

"That bastard... he never told me that guy was here too!"

The Puling aliens carefully and quickly moved over several minutes, heading straight towards Wang Zhenqiu's location.

It usually lives in the 'cup box' that Wang Zhenqiu carries with him, and has left its life essence in that 'small box'. It is not difficult to determine the direction by relying on the connection with the main body.

Swish!
Upon approaching its 'destination', the 'jelly' ignored the fact that Wang Zhenqiu was being chased by Liu Wukui and jumped onto him, then burrowed its body into the 'cup box' and skillfully returned to its 'happy old home'.

Of course, although it was eager to repair its body, it was still very dedicated. By crawling out a part of its limbs and attaching it to Wang Zhenqiu's ear, it quickly conveyed the news of Liu Ke's attack to Wang Zhenqiu.

Wang Zhenqiu was initially surprised to see the 'jelly' shrink and return, but upon hearing his 'old friend' explain the reason, he immediately understood.

At that moment, he understood why Zhang Chulan's attitude had changed these days; it turned out that Biyou Village had been joined by that 'mysterious person'.

"Hey, even so, our plan was still finalized and can still be implemented."

"Has the company gone mad? That can't be..."

"It's understandable that the regional managers don't understand the situation or lack the necessary knowledge, but as for the board of directors... are they unaware, indifferent, or do they know but still choose to continue?"

"Do the company's higher-ups... know about it or not?"

"Hehe... Interesting, very interesting, but it's just too dangerous."

Wang Zhenqiu is a fun-loving person, and when he encounters something he finds amusing, he can't help but show amusement.

But at this moment, he was also in the midst of a chase, and he wasn't alone. After talking to himself for a while, he started laughing strangely, which naturally annoyed Liu Wu Kui, who was chasing him.

So, this girl with slender arms and legs, but surprisingly strong, said directly, "Erweiza, what are you laughing at? What's so funny? Are you scared of your sister Kui to the point of going crazy?"

Upon hearing her words, Wang Zhenqiu chuckled softly again, then couldn't help but sigh deeply, ending his joyful game of hide-and-seek with her.

After he stood still, he turned to look at Liu Wu Kui, who was also standing about ten meters away.

"What's wrong? Are you finally ready to act like a man and face me head-on?"

Seeing Wang Zhenqiu suddenly stop, Liu Wukui actually smiled.

Seeing the other party's confident demeanor, Wang Zhenqiu said with an unreadable expression, "Originally... I wanted to resolve this with the simplest and gentlest method, but now it seems..."

"We must go all out and finish this quickly..."

"That person meant well but messed things up. You're such an unlucky kid."

------

"Keep a close eye on this young man until this is all over, and make sure he doesn't get hit by any stray arrows or stray bullets."

After briefly instructing the greyhound to protect Liu Hongzhong, Liu Ke leisurely walked out of the room.

Of those temporary workers, only Wang Zhenqiu, who had set Liu Wukui as his primary target, would consider Liu Hongzhong as a secondary objective.

Wang Zhenqiu's purpose in sending "Jelly" to capture Liu Hongzhong was naturally to use Hongzhong to control the Five Kings, making his own mission process easier.

Now that 'Ball' and Wu Kui have started to seriously face off, and 'Jelly' is injured, there is no need to continue to guard this place so closely.

As the saying goes, a pawn that crosses the river becomes a chariot, but a pawn that hasn't crossed the river is naturally useless. Therefore, Liu Ke had no need to confine himself to this place.

As he walked, he also used the drones that hovered over Biyou Village to observe the situation on the field.

Throughout Biyou Village, the living areas of those transformed into superhumans and ordinary people are still somewhat different.

If we take the 'Village Chief's Office' as the center, then the overall layout of Biyou Village is an elliptical shape radiating outwards from the Village Chief's Office. At the west and east apexes are Chen Duo's house and the [workshop] of the Body Cultivation Furnace, respectively.

Ordinary people in the village mostly live in large communal rooms on the outermost edge of the oval-shaped village, or in small, simple houses.

As for those temporary workers from Nadutong, their primary focus of the raid was naturally on the scattered individuals in the central part of the oval shape.

Therefore, ordinary people faced no obstacles whatsoever in Na Du Tong's special operation tonight, so the temporary workers almost entirely overlooked them when making the plans.

When Feng Baobao deliberately set fire to the village to drive people away, she only set fire to the two key areas: the "village center" and the "transformation zone for superhumans." She deliberately skipped over the areas where ordinary people lived.

Of course, no matter how big the village is or how many people it has, it is still just a medium-sized village.

The bustling fire in the village center, along with the commotion caused by the extraordinary individuals leaping and bounding about, naturally aroused unease among the ordinary people. This led them to spontaneously gather, wanting to go to the village center to help put out the fire and see what assistance they could offer. Although their intentions were good, allowing 'unrelated civilians' into the war zone would ultimately cause trouble. This was true for both the extraordinary individuals from Na Du Tong and Bi You Village.

Fortunately, a few minutes later, Qiu Rang, who had lost his Ruyi, stepped forward despite his frustration and sent people to stabilize the situation in the village.

His organizational skills were also excellent. Within minutes, he had organized an additional group of people to appease the villagers on the outskirts and maintain order.

"Is there some disorder in the northeast? It seems like Qiu Rang doesn't have enough manpower..."

"Black Wall, have the drones handle it, make sure no one gets missed."

"Okay, master."

The drones that Liu Ke had deployed earlier were not just for observing how the village brawl was going; he wasn't making a documentary.

Rather, he knew that if the temporary workers from Nadutong wanted to complete the plan properly, they would inevitably try to take advantage of the chaos and make a mess of the village, so he prepared with drones.

How should we put it? We can't let a 'mess' become a runaway horse?

Although this sounded a bit too official, that was pretty much what Liu Ke was thinking. He was worried that if the village became too chaotic tonight, it would affect the ordinary people.

Fights between people of different kinds are not always close-quarters combat. They often throw things like Qi bombs and projectiles. If someone accidentally misses and hits a vulnerable ordinary person, it could easily lead to serious trouble.

Although the probability is small, it's definitely worth taking precautions. In the unlikely event of such an emergency, the sonic impact of a drone could serve as a deterrent.

Of course, it can also serve some other purposes.

For example, the northeastern area of ​​Biyou Village needs those drones that can project images to make some use of it.

When Wang Zhenqiu broke into the village, he went around to the northeast and swaggered in. As a result, he directly attracted all the transformed superhumans there, along with Liu Wu Kui.

It must be said that in this village dominated by superhumans, it's quite normal for the ordinary villagers in the northeast to panic when faced with a sudden attack from them, without those transformed superhumans acting as police to maintain order.

At this moment, they were clearly restless and agitated. Some of them had already left their homes, carrying carrying poles and wooden sticks, ready to do their part for Biyou Village.

To prevent them from continuing towards the 'war zone' in the center of the village, Liu Ke immediately ordered the drones in that area to project illusions of 'transformed aliens' patrolling and appeasing the villagers, telling them to retreat to their houses and not to make any rash moves.

After letting Black Wall take over the responsibility for the drones' self-discipline, Liu Ke walked around while mentally reviewing the current battle situation.

After his protective magic weapon was shattered, Master Zhao Guizhen's fighting spirit plummeted. Even using the Seven Fiends technique couldn't lift his spirits. He fought and retreated, wanting to run back to the village.

But Xiao Zizai wouldn't let him have his way, and immediately increased the force of his palm strikes, ravaging his opponent. Judging from the momentum, in another two or three minutes, this 'Master Xiao,' who used Buddhist techniques but possessed a seasoned and ruthless aura, would begin to enjoy the fruits of victory.

As for Zhang Chulan, he's probably already exhausted the "brotherly talk therapy" approach, and seeing his beloved village in such chaos, Ma Xianhong can't delay any longer. It's likely that in another minute or two, Ma Xianhong will break into the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Feng Baobao was also following her pre-arranged plan, heading towards the [Cultivation Furnace Workshop] where Zhang Chulan and Lao Ma had previously had their heart-to-heart talk after setting the fire. Of course, given her current route, she would likely first have to fight the village's 'Earth Immortal'.

The situation on Hei Guan's side looks a bit troublesome. The burly man named Haricha Gai, who has golden blood flowing through his veins, is quite strong. He's managing to slowly entangle Hei Guan with his protective magic weapon. There's also Zhong Xiaolong, the ADC who throws stones, on the side. It looks like this two-on-one situation will be a stalemate for a while.

Wang Zhenqiu's situation was more relaxed. His previous attempt to use a scheme to capture Liu Wukui was not because he was afraid of facing the enemy head-on, but rather because that method would avoid bloodshed and be easier to deal with.

Having activated his divine mask, he naturally couldn't hold back. After transforming into Sun Wukong, he unleashed a barrage of blows on Liu Wu Kui's Five Directions Protector. Judging from the looks of it, it would only take five or six minutes for the Five Directions Protector's protective barrier to be shattered by the Golden Cudgel.

As for Lao Meng...
"Interesting, hahaha."

Something that can make someone burst into laughter and talk to themselves must be truly interesting. And now, Liu Ke couldn't help but laugh out loud because of what happened in Lao Meng's area.

------

"Actually, the one who caused you the most severe losses was that unemployed man who made a living by selling stocks and futures."

Upon hearing Lao Meng's words, Fu Rong quickly retorted loudly, "That was just an accident! He was working hard for our future; it's value investing! We need to look at it in the long term!"

"We were just going through a technical correction! And it just so happened that we separated when the stock market was at a low point..."

"It's just a coincidence that the market is bad! We'll break even once the Shanghai Composite Index rises to 7000 points!"

Seemingly finding this statement somewhat weak, Ms. Fu added, "He said... he would earn our money back! He didn't want to lose everything, and even after we broke up, he said he would pay me back when the money came back!"

Old Meng was speechless for a moment, but his lips twitched as he said, "As far as I know, the Shanghai Composite Index has never risen to 7,000 points."

"Well, of course, there's really no way to avoid stock market investments. They're quite risky, and everyone can understand if an investment fails."

"But about your ex-boyfriend, I have to say something unrelated. He's stopped trying. He went to Yunnan and is living with a woman in her fifties who's in the jade business."

"And he really doesn't trade stocks anymore, because the one you bought with all your money was delisted last year, so there's no hope for it."

Old Meng spoke sincerely, and seemed like an honest uncle; he didn't seem like the type to lie about something so public.

Upon hearing this, Fu Rong's internal energy stagnated again, as if she had been struck by Medusa's petrifying curse in Greek mythology, and her whole body stiffened into a lump.

Yes, Fu Rong and Zhuge Qing, these two top talents from Biyou Village, have recently had a rather ambiguous relationship.

The one assigned to deal with them was Old Meng, who helped Black Pipe initiate the fight and then promptly withdrew from the battle.

Of course, Lao Meng is indeed quite skilled, but it is unlikely that he could deal with both a master swordsman and a master of esoteric arts at the same time.

He chose these two guys as his targets because he had something to rely on.

What she relied on was Fu Rong's complicated love history, which was even more intricate than the bureaucratic structure, and the mountain of various loans she owed.
