National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

Ranzi got up from the ground, picked up the Raven, and instead of leaving, stood opposite the person.

The other person was very sloppy.

He had a scraggly beard and disheveled hair, but was burly, with sharp eyes and two forked scars on his face, exuding a murderous aura.

You can't tell which side they're from just by looking at their clothes:

He wore a tattered tan jacket over a Viper Guard bulletproof vest, and his knee and arm guards were company standard, though they looked quite worn.

The man stood with his arms crossed, looking down at the woman and scrutinizing her.

"Scared? Stress? You seem pretty bold... from Adam's company?"

It seems this person's bad attitude towards me is related to their outfit.

Ren Yi immediately clarified:

No, I'm not.

"So you're wearing company clothes?"

The man's forehead was wavy, clearly indicating he didn't believe it.

"Oh, it's just a personal preference."

"..."

"Your hobby is quite unique."

"good."

Ren Yi suddenly changed the subject and asked:

"And you? Who are you?"

The man was taken aback by his attitude, rolled his eyes, and the two scars moved, making them look even more ferocious.

You have no right to know.

"yes."

Renyi didn't care about his attitude and started looking around the room on her own.

Empty.

There was a thick layer of dust on the table, a broken mattress at the base of the wall, and several empty cans next to it.

This person wasn't an experimental subject; he was quite skilled and could suppress me without me using any of his trump cards.

but......

His purpose in appearing here and even opening the door to save me is unclear.

"Have you been living here all this time?" Renyi asked.

The man didn't answer, he just stared at him, as if assessing goods.

"Alright."

The two stared at each other for a while.

As if he didn't want to waste any more time with this strange man spouting nonsense, the man spoke impatiently:

"The 'actors' time is over; they'll soon be retreating to their own rooms. If you want to leave, hurry up and do it now."

"Are you just leaving like this?"

Unmoved by anything.

"It's a maze outside, and I can't find my way back."

That's your problem.

"But you are my savior." He said sincerely, "There is an old saying in my hometown: 'A drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water.' I am a person who values ​​gratitude the most. You saved me, so I have to repay you."

The man frowned, his tone cold and hard:

"I don't need it."

"..."

Okay, so you're refusing the opportunity I'm offering, huh?

I genuinely think this person overacted... If you really don't want to have anything to do with them, why open the door to save them?

"All right."

He shrugged readily and didn't press the matter further.

The man watched as Renyi turned around and opened the team communication.

"Everyone, how's the situation?"

The channel immediately filled with responses.

Klaus: "Boss! How's it going on your end? We're about to go out and look for you!"

Ivan: "I'm fine here, I'm just a little lost!"

Chi Lian's voice, thick with gunpowder, chimed in: "Where are you? Where did you run off to? I'm coming to find you. What are you doing, trying to be a hero all by yourself!"

"I encountered a small problem, but it's resolved."

It was glossed over casually.

"It's safe now."

"I've circled around several times. There's something wrong with the structure here, and I'm certain that the 'Glutton's' origin isn't on this floor. There's no need for us to waste any more time here."

"What should we do? We're still in the 'garden'."

Aurora sounded worried.

"Wait for me. I'll come pick you up once I find my way back, and then we'll go to the other floors."

"Other layers?"

Before Renyi could finish speaking, the slovenly man's hoarse voice rang out from behind him.

"What makes you think... you can defeat the 'Glutton' Matrix?"

The communication channel fell silent for a moment, then erupted in chaos:

"Boss?! Who's speaking?"

"Anything! This voice is unfamiliar!! Is it some kind of experimental subject?"

No time to respond to the shouts on the channel, Ren Yi turned off the communication, slowly turned around, and looked at the guy.

"Do you know about the 'Gluttony's Origin'?"

"Tsk."

The man chuckled and answered irrelevantly:

"With your limited skills? A few A-level and B-level rookies?"

Ren Yi smiled, unsurprisingly.

"It seems you've been observing us for a long time."

"From the moment you step onto this floor."

The man finally lowered his arms from his chest and approached Renyi with a very imposing manner.

"Do you know how many elites, with the same thoughts as you, died here twelve years ago?"

"have no idea."

He shook his head sincerely.

"However, I'm sure you already know."

The man's gaze instantly sharpened, but Ren Yi met his gaze without flinching and continued her attack:

"You saved me not out of kindness, but because you need a team."

"You've been waiting, haven't you?"

"Alright, stop pretending. I'm the one you've been waiting for."

The room fell silent for a moment, with only the faint "tap-tap" sound outside the door gradually fading away.

It seems the actors have left the stage.

After a long while, the man irritably scratched his messy hair and slumped his shoulders.

"I knew it."

"Every company in Adam Life is more annoying than the last."

He looked Ren Yi up and down, as if Venus were looking at Sun Wukong.

Let him see it freely and openly:

"So, we've reached a consensus?"

The man snorted irritably, tacitly agreeing.

He needed someone to break the deadlock, and while this young man was dangerous and difficult to control, he was also his best option.

"Since it's a collaboration, we should at least get to know each other first."

Start by casually trying to get close to them:

"What is your name?"

......

"Everyone, this is Ramons."

"Raymonds?! That Raymonds?!"

Chi Lian pinched Glasses' thigh in shock, and Glasses kept yelling in pain, "Sister, sister, it's not a dream, stop pinching me!"

"S-Class Wanderer, Ramons..."

Even Sixth Master showed a rare hint of emotion:

"Twelve years ago, you led an elite squad from three factions into Blackrock Heavy Industries, and then everyone disappeared... You're still alive?"

This news is explosive!

A legendary figure who had been presumed dead for twelve years... just appeared alive and well before them?!

This group of people didn't seem to feel anything, since it wasn't real to them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Well then, Mr. Ramons, now that you've brought us here, shouldn't you tell us about your plans?"

"I did not lead you here."

Ramons shrugged and corrected:

"You barged in here yourselves."

"Your target is the Type III Serum, right? It's inside the 'Glutton' Mother, but the Mother isn't so easy to kill."

Ramons lowered his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the floor to look at something.

"The Matrix is ​​omnipresent, growing stronger by devouring code slices."

"Code slicing?"

He casually raised an eyebrow.

He has plenty of these in his system repository.

"That's right."

Ramons nodded solemnly.

"Each experimental subject at Blackstone Heavy Industries possesses unique genetic code. The more the host absorbs, the stronger it becomes. Conversely, if we can extract this code, we can greatly weaken it."

"Twelve years ago... we were unable to analyze its defenses because we failed to collect enough code slices, which led to..."
