"Luna... Sister Luna, please don't blow air into my ear, it's so itchy."

Looking at the little boy blushing beneath her, Luna felt a strange pleasure. Ignoring Mai Xiaowen, who was about to go crazy, she stuck out her tongue and gently licked Zhang Hao's ear.

"Are you shy, my little cutie? I'm really growing to like you more and more."

"Luna! Get the hell out of here!"

Seeing this scene, Mai Xiaowen completely lost it. The little cabbage she had painstakingly protected was almost eaten by a pig. How could she bear this? She blushed on the spot.

Seeing the little boy so embarrassed he was about to faint, Luna decided to let him off the hook for now, since there was plenty of time.

"What are you shouting for? Haven't you seen how close Xiao Hao and I are getting? Aren't you afraid of scaring Xiao Hao by shouting so loudly?"

Luna stood up and rolled her eyes at Mai Xiaowen. "Are you kidding me? Who wouldn't like such a cute little boy? How can you, Mai Xiaowen, be so nosy? You're probably just feeling threatened by me."

"Oh dear, some people are incompetent themselves, but they get anxious when they see others who are better than them, don't you think? Hazha."

As Luna spoke, she gave Mai Xiaowen a victorious smile.

"I'm xxxxx, are you even human? I'd rather raise you to adulthood than lay a hand on you. You xxx are shameless. Come on, Xiao Hao, let's go back. We're skipping class today."

Mai Xiaowen was indeed fired up and decided to take Zhang Hao back. This place was too dangerous. An old woman like Luna must have learned a lot of ways to seduce men. Little Hao Hao is so young, he will definitely not be able to resist such temptation. As his good older sister, she has the ability, obligation and necessity to pull him out of the quagmire and prevent him from sinking deeper.

"Hmph, so you have no choice but to drag Xiao Hao away? You're just jealous of me. You see me and Xiao Hao being so happy and intimate in class, while all you see in your class is Xiao Hao's helpless and listless eyes. Besides, did Xiao Hao even agree to take her away? Come on, Xiao Hao, do you want to go with her?"

Seeing that her thoughts had been exposed, Mai Xiaowen simply gave up and went all out.

"Xiao Hao, come with me. I can teach you sniping skills too. I'm just as good as her."

Luna then suddenly added:

"Xiao Hao, if you behave and finish my class, I'll take you to my room after each get out of class to get the parts and make you a bow that's your own, okay?"

Upon hearing that he could assemble his own bow, Zhang Hao made his choice immediately.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaowen, it's not that I lack willpower, it's just that the bow is too attractive to me."

Hearing this, Mai Xiaowen felt dizzy and weak. She slowly moved backward, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that she had been completely defeated this time, and that Xiao Haohao was going to be devoured by this bad woman.

This time, Luna wins decisively!

Chapter 24 Meeting

At the space base, several high-ranking Hafk executives held another meeting. This time, the target of their discussion was placed at the center of the conference table, gleaming with a shimmering light. It was a creation built from the combined technological prowess of the entire Hafk Corporation, possessing the power to reshape the landscape of Asara.

Today, all of Hafk's top brass decided to hold a global live broadcast to showcase the power the Hafk Group is currently displaying, and also to suppress the rise of these minor leaders in the Asara region. It's important to understand that the high-tech tanks they've been manufacturing for Hafk utilize Mandel Bricks, and once Hafk acquires these tanks, Reis and Said will be nothing more than a roadside nuisance.

"We'll be holding a global press conference at the radar station in Longbow Valley this time next month. Demulan, you'll lead a squad of snipers to provide long-range fire support from afar."

Audrey, dressed in a black suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was assigning tasks to these people on a large screen. Demulan, the safety director of the space base, had survived an explosion by wearing the first-generation Relink brain-computer interface developed by Rometheus.

In the eyes of the people of Asara, Demurran represents the head of the Hafk armed forces; she guards not only the space base built here, but also the face of the entire Hafk Group to the outside world.

However, in the eyes of these high-ranking members of the Hafk Group, Demulan was nothing more than a dog that the Hafk Group could discard at will. If it weren't for the Hafk brain-computer interface installed, Demulan would have ceased to exist long ago.

"Dr. Rometheus, please take this opportunity to handle the hosting of the press conference that day. As for security, don't worry. The Blue Eagle helicopter you requested from headquarters to use the power of the Mandel Bricks to build is being assembled at an accelerated pace and will definitely be delivered to Babel before the press conference."

Pushing up her glasses, Audrey turned to Rometheus, who was sitting leisurely drinking tea.

"I'm fine with it, but I just want to remind you that when the day of the press conference arrives, it won't just be those brainless pigs from Asara causing trouble. You haven't forgotten about the GTI that harassed us every day before, have you?"

After finishing his tea, Rometheus shifted to a more comfortable position and leaned back. The information he had received from his men at Dam Zero was that Zero wasn't at the dam; instead, he had left with a group of people in a helicopter. How could Said, a penniless pauper with no weapons or resources, possibly afford a helicopter? A little thought brought to mind the GTI that was hovering around him like a fly.

"GTI? Hmph, that annoying thing. If they didn't bother us every day, we would have taken over Bakshi and Longbow Valley long ago."

Robert was still as hot-tempered as ever. He had been annoyed with GTI for a long time. You see, Mr. Hafk had told him that if he could take over the whole of Bakshi, the supreme board of directors would welcome him to join. But just when he was happily preparing to take over the whole of Bakshi, that damned GTI kept stopping him like an annoying fly.

Especially that tall black man, who shamelessly requested support from their headquarters. Just when he was about to take it down, Mr. Hafk stopped him and demanded that he withdraw his troops. The reason was that GTI broadcast the war he organized to the world. Hafk Group was caught in a media storm, and his precious board seat disappeared as a result.

"Hmph, GTI ruined my plans. I'm willing to use my family's Death Servants, but if they find any of their people, my men will break away from the unit to wipe them out."

"Alright, Robert, don't interfere. Mr. Hafk takes this matter very seriously. You must know that Mandel bricks are the culmination of our group's technology, and we cannot afford any mistakes this time."

The speaker this time was an elderly man, dressed in an old-fashioned British suit, who was sitting in his seat with meticulous attention to detail, exuding an air of elegance and gentlemanliness.

Jason Richard, one of the company's board members, came from headquarters to oversee the entire launch event, as this global livestream was crucial.

Seeing that he had been warned, Robert shrunk back dejectedly, his eyes filled with greedy envy as he looked at Richard's seat. So close! He had almost been on the board himself, but there were no "what ifs." With Richard around, he had to listen to him.

"You don't need to worry about security anymore. Just send me more test subjects, and the super soldier plan can be advanced faster. Once I've built a super soldier team, these people won't pose any threat to us at all."

Rometheus yawned, then stood up to leave.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back now. I have a lot of experiments to do."

As Rometheus swaggered away, the entire conference room fell silent. Everyone here harbored their own ulterior motives. Rometheus was indeed more important than Demulan, but what Hafk wanted was a pawn who would obey and serve him. Judging from Rometheus's actions, it seemed that this pawn had developed its own consciousness.

"Since there's nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting!"

After a moment of silence, Richard adjourned the meeting. There was no need for him to remind anyone else. No one in this meeting room was a fool. Even Robert, who had a short temper and seemed to lack common sense, was actually quite cunning.

Rometheus boarded the vehicle back to the Tower of Babel. The recent amount of experimentation had left him feeling exhausted. He needed to quickly assemble his own super army, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to defeat Zero with just these ordinary Hafk soldiers. Although he was also curious as to why Zero was staying peacefully in GTI, he knew that he had created Zero with the purpose of being a killing machine. The Hafk soldiers he had sent earlier had indeed been wiped out by Zero.

While I was still thinking in the car, the soldier in the passenger seat suddenly said:

There's a fast-moving object ahead. Should we check it out?

"The target is preparing to meet us. Be on alert!"

Hearing the soldier's words, Rometheus also peeked out to see what was going on. When he got closer, he saw a man riding an all-terrain vehicle passing by them.

Looking at the man, Rometheus quickly deduced his identity.

"GTI? You'll be sending people to patrol the Bakshi area later. If you see anyone driving one of these cars again, keep your distance and follow them. I need to know where their hideout is, understand?"

"Yes!"

Red Wolf, who was riding his bicycle, also looked back at the car behind him. Today it was his turn to patrol with Mai Xiaowen. He was near Bakshi, while Mai Xiaowen was going to see Chang Gong Valley. He didn't expect to see someone driving by in this desolate desert.

"That car just now seemed to have come from the space base. Could it be one of Hafk's men? No, I need to go back and report to Deep Blue right away."

But inside the car, Rometheus was thinking about the "zero" he longed for.

“Oh my dear Zero, are you not attacking them because you have gained self-awareness? That’s truly amazing! Don’t worry, I’ll find you soon. I’m the latest Relink brain-computer interface created by countless people who sacrificed themselves for you. Soon we’ll be together forever.”

Chapter 25 Using me as a practice subject?

Red Wolf returned to the Special Operations Department without stopping and immediately went to Deep Blue to report the situation.

"What? Are you sure it's from the space base to Bakshi?"

After listening to Red Wolf's report, Deep Blue asked again with a serious expression.

"Of course, I had just finished inspecting Bakshi and was on my way back when I saw a black jeep coming from what was supposed to be a no-man's land. Judging from its route, it must have come from the space base, so it must be one of Hafk's men."

After receiving confirmation from Red Wolf, Deep Blue immediately reported the news to headquarters. As for investigating the identities of the people in the car, that was a matter for higher-ups to handle.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hao is in the clinic of Bee Doctor. Today is the last class of the week, and the two unreliable people are obviously very happy.

Zhang Hao: Haha, I'll be free after this last class! Haha!

Roy: Finally someone's here to play with me! Ugh, I was so bored before.

Although the two haven't exchanged a single word, they've been exchanging friendly glances as if by unspoken understanding.

"Ahem! Well then, let's have class first, and after you finish learning, I'll teach you how to cheat, okay?"

Roy raised an eyebrow at Zhang Hao and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's finish this quickly today!"

Just thinking about learning these cheating techniques and then going to find Sister Xiaowen and Sister Luna to test their skills and show them what a real gambling god is.

"Good! You're very energetic. So today we'll learn some simple bandaging techniques. You need to master this skill well, because you'll need to use these bandaging techniques if you get injured in battle. After all, I won't always be by your side. If you get injured then, you'll have to rely on yourself."

As Roy spoke, he took out a simple surgical kit and handed it to Zhang Hao.

Wow, is this surgical kit really that big?

Looking at the surgical kit in his hand, which was as big as a small backpack, Zhang Hao was also shocked. He never expected that the small surgical kit he saw in the game would look so big here.

"Huh? Are you kidding me, bro? A surgical kit isn't very big, what can it hold? Just two bandages? And this is just a basic surgical kit. The most luxurious one could hold enough equipment to perform a minor surgery. Of course, those kinds of surgical kits are usually very expensive. Ordinary people like us can use a regular surgical kit. We only bring high-end ones when we're going to complete some big missions. Of course, if you're going on a mission with me, don't worry, you won't get hurt with me around."

Looking at the confident Roy in front of him, Zhang Hao completely agreed. Even though Roy seemed unreliable on ordinary days, he always turned out to be the most dependable one whenever someone was injured.

“Kid, listen carefully. The person standing in front of you right now is the Chief Medical Officer of GTI Hive System. If it weren’t for the suffering that the people of Asara are currently enduring, I would have been doing very well at headquarters long ago.”

Roy spoke proudly, recalling his heroic deeds on the battlefield years ago.

"Alright, alright, I know you're awesome. Hurry up and finish today's class. I'm waiting for you to teach me how to cheat and backstab Sister Xiaowen!"

"See? First, take out those surgical gloves and put them on to avoid infection when treating the wound. Of course, if you get infected in this critical period, then it depends on how kind God is to you. After all, you have to be alive to get infected."

Zhang Hao and Roy put on their gloves together and listened to Roy talking eloquently. In fact, among all these people, Zhang Hao felt that Roy's medical class was the most interesting. He didn't seem to be teaching, but rather using the most understandable way to help Zhang Hao remember these things. He would also tell stories from his past.

"Come on, these two look exactly alike! One is surgical forceps, and the other is surgical scissors. We won't teach you those today; it's too much of a waste of time. Hmm, let me think about what I should teach you today. Oh well, never mind, I'll introduce them to you first, and you can choose one yourself."

As Zhang Hao opened the surgical kit, familiar items came into view.

"Here, this is a syringe. Usually, there's only one in a basic surgical kit, so you can't just use it randomly. Usually, they'll give you three, so go ahead and use them. Medical alcohol—to be honest, I think Uluru's IQ isn't as high as it is from drinking too much. He's always drunk and clamoring to ambush people on the bridge at the space base. Finally, there are bandages. Today, I'll teach you how to use bandages. You'd better learn this carefully, because it can save lives."

After Roy finished explaining all the equipment, he took out a bandage and said to Zhang Hao.

"Bandages? How can you tell if I've learned it well or not?"

"Hey, that's easy. My eyes are your ruler. If you can get past me today, Wei Long will be changing his medicine later, right? He'll be your first practice subject."

"Come on, look carefully, stretch out your hand. Let's say you have a wound here. First, we'll clean and disinfect it with alcohol. Then, we'll take out a bandage and wrap it around the injured area a few times to secure it. If you're bleeding a lot, we'll need to apply some pressure to the bandage, but not too much, otherwise it will prevent the blood from circulating smoothly."

After explaining to Zhang Hao, Roy brought out a mannequin and let Zhang Hao practice. Once he was ready, he'd have him change Wei Long's dressing. Wei Long always screams when he changes dressings; let's see if Xiao Hao can still shamelessly scream like that this time.

"Hmph, watch closely, with my talent, bandaging is a piece of cake."

Watching Zhang Hao relentlessly attack the prosthetic hand, Roy leisurely pulled out a recliner, put on his headphones, and began to enjoy a wonderful rest.

"Alright, Roy, how do you think my bandage is?"

Roy glanced at it, shook his head, and continued listening to the music while closing his eyes to rest.

"now what?"

Shake head.
