Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

Chapter 34 The Dam Strategist

The moon was already high in the sky, and in the stillness of the night, Zhang Hao was experiencing the most blissful and most painful thing in the world.

Luna had wrapped her entire body around Zhang Hao's right side, her head resting next to him, her breath hitting his face, and occasionally she would breathe into his ear, causing Zhang Hao to shiver from time to time.

On the left, Mai Xiaowen curled up, trying to get as close to Zhang Hao as possible. She put her head in Zhang Hao's arms, savoring the scent of little Hao Hao, and gradually became sleepy.

Zhang Hao lay between the two men, not daring to move. Although he usually started dreaming at this time, he was afraid he would have insomnia today.

"Hehe, Xiao Hao, just kidding. Goodnight."

Luna, who was beside Zhang Hao, seemed to have noticed his distress. She stopped teasing him, closed her eyes, and leaned against him quietly.

Seeing that the two of them had quieted down, Zhang Hao also adjusted his breathing and began to think of a way to force himself to shut down.

And so, the night passed peacefully. (Tonight is Christmas Eve.)

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

The next morning, Zhang Hao wearily opened his eyes. Although he hadn't been sleepless all night, he hadn't been able to calm his restless heart and fall asleep until midnight.

Mai Xiaowen opened her eyes, but to her surprise, the first thing she saw was not her beloved Xiao Hao, but that hateful old woman Jin Luna.

The two women are currently resting their heads on Zhang Hao's chest, facing each other.

Mai Xiaowen quickly turned her head away and saw Zhang Hao's bloodshot eyes. She asked with some heartache:

"Little Hao Hao, didn't you sleep well last night? Humph! It's all that old woman's fault. She never acted like this when I used to put you to sleep."

Luna, who had been pretending to be asleep, stopped pretending when she heard Mai Xiaowen slandering her. She opened her eyes, looked at Mai Xiaowen, and said:

"Hmph, you're really crying wolf. If I weren't here, I guarantee Xiao Hao would be pampered and sleeping comfortably in my arms. What are you looking at? Mine is bigger than yours, wanna compete?"

Zhang Hao sighed wearily. If he had taken one of them to sleep with him, things might not have turned out this way, because with two heads pressing on his chest, he really couldn't hold on!

"Alright, sisters, stop arguing. Let's go downstairs for breakfast. I still need to go see Uncle Said later."

Zhang Hao quickly stopped the two women from arguing. He was tired and just wanted to help Said finish those things as soon as possible so he could get back to GTI, find his own bed, and get a good night's sleep.

After a quick wash, Zhang Hao and his group went to the cafeteria on the first floor. Wei Long was already sitting down and eating breakfast. He waved to Zhang Hao and the others when he saw them come down.

After inviting everyone to sit down, Wei Long noticed the bloodshot in Zhang Hao's eyes. He then looked at Mai Xiaowen and Luna, who were still attacking with their eyes, and instantly understood what had happened to Zhang Hao the night before.

Weilong: Roy said I'm a clueless straight man, humph, I'm smart! I knew at a glance that Xiaohao was dragged out for tutoring last night and didn't choose Xiaowen, so Xiaowen got jealous and then... (*￣０￣)ノ

"Hey Xiaohao, don't put so much pressure on yourself. I guess the assessment that Shenlan mentioned is mainly to motivate you. There's no need to push yourself so hard. Just get a good rest tonight, and you can study when you get back."

Three people: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Zhang Hao was too lazy to say anything more at this point. After quickly finishing his breakfast, he wiped his mouth and said to them:

"I've finished eating. I'm going to find Uncle Said now. You guys can wander around here if you're bored. Someone will be following you anyway. I'll be back as soon as I go."

After saying that, he dragged his heavy steps outside.

After seeing Zhang Hao walk away, Wei Long was about to tell Mai Xiaowen not to push the child so hard, but he found that the two of them had already gone upstairs. So he had no choice but to give up and asked someone to take them to stroll around the dam.

When Zhang Haocai reached the main gate, he saw that Said was already waiting for him there.

"Good morning, Uncle Saeed!"

"Good morning! Hmm? Xiao Hao, did you not sleep well last night? Are you having trouble sleeping in a new bed? Should I get you one of those beds you usually sleep in?"

Seeing Saeed's concerned gaze, Zhang Hao quickly shook his head.

"It's alright, it was just some personal issues yesterday. Come on, Uncle Said, we'll help you resolve those problems."

Since Zhang Hao said he was fine, Said didn't say anything more. He picked Zhang Hao up and carried him on his shoulders, then walked quickly toward the administration building.

Upon arriving at the administration building, Sayed expressed to Zhang Hao his desire to gather his troops together for unified training and to implement full military management.

"Xiao Hao, I feel that although this will greatly improve the overall level of the dam, we still need to have people guarding many places, and we are also a bit short of supplies. Do you have any good ideas?"

After listening, Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said:

"If you're worried about a shortage of manpower, you can ask Reis for some people during this period. We don't need his elites. We can take his soldiers to guard the area and train our own. Let them stay for a while and observe which ones we can use."

Saeed was a little surprised after hearing this.

"You mean? Try to turn some of Reis's soldiers against him? That's not a good idea. We're allies now, after all. If Reis finds out... you know what I mean."

Looking at Said, who was still somewhat restrained in his thinking, Zhang Hao explained with a hint of exasperation:

“Don’t forget how Reis treated his ordinary men. I remember that apart from training his personal guards, he basically left his ordinary men to their own devices. Besides, you’ve also put them under your training and management to spread our idea of ​​liberating Asara. Even if some of them are willing to go back, as long as the seed is planted in the soil, it will naturally sprout over time.”

After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Said nodded as if he understood but not quite.

"I understand. When they go back, they'll tell their associates about our ideas, right? Then if anyone wants to join, they'll contact us, and our team will gradually grow?"

Zhang Hao nodded in satisfaction, it seemed that Said did have some ideological awareness.

“That’s right. If any of the people left here know someone in Reiss’s group, they will contact them. In this way, our influence will only grow. If you successfully defeat Hamk, the problem of supplies will also be solved. You know, he’s latched onto the Hamk Group, a cash cow.”

After resolving the issue with the prison, Zhang Hao stretched wearily and let out a big yawn.

"Sigh, I still think about how great it would have been if you hadn't been taken away by the GTI people and had stayed with me as my strategist."

Seeing that all these problems had been solved, Sayed couldn't help but sigh again.

"Alright, alright, aren't I your strategist now? I'll come play again next time!"

Zhang Hao comforted Said and then took out his phone to contact Shenlan, asking him to prepare to pick him up.

"Hmm? Leaving already? Not staying for lunch before you go?"

Seeing that Zhang Hao was about to leave, Said wanted to persuade him to stay for a meal.

"No, Uncle Saeed, you're too kind. It's such a waste to treat me to such a nice meal. You don't have many supplies either, so please distribute them to the people below!"

Zhang Hao shook his head; all he wanted to do was go back to bed and get a good night's sleep.

After everyone boarded the plane and said goodbye to Saeed, the vacation came to a successful end.

Upon returning to the Special Operations Unit, Zhang Hao completely ignored Roy, who had come up to him trying to joke around, and went straight to his room. Without even taking off his clothes, he lay down on the bed and immediately turned off his phone.

Roy was momentarily stunned and was about to go upstairs to see what was going on when Luna stopped him.

"Alright, let him rest for a while, he's tired too."

Roy: Dude, you're already tired from a vacation? What about me watching the house these past two days? Sigh, back in the day, I was a guy who could travel to three countries without getting tired. Looking at it this way, I'm practically a superman!

Chapter 35 Blue Eagle Helicopter

Baksh, the highest level of the Tower of Babel.

At this moment, on the uppermost helipad, Rometheus and a foreign woman standing behind him were waiting for something.

"Doctor, will the helicopter you requested be delivered today?"

“That’s right, Ella. The Blue Eagle helicopter, which combines the current cutting-edge technology of the Hafk Group, with the Superman I developed and equipped with the Relink brain-computer interface, means that no one in Baksh can compete with us.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a small black dot appeared in the distant sky, rapidly approaching them.

"Ella, bring me that telescope, my things are here."

He took the binoculars from Ella and looked closely; a weaponized helicopter bearing the logo of the Hafk Company was rapidly approaching.

It was larger than a typical armed helicopter, with heavy machine guns mounted on both sides and four hardpoints under its stub wings capable of launching anti-tank missiles, air-to-air missiles, and rockets.

"Ah! The culmination of Hafk technology, the machine body uses the most advanced metal technology, it can directly withstand the barrage of 12.7 mm bullets, and it can even withstand some 23 mm heavy ammunition. The seemingly fragile propeller can withstand the attacks of armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds."

Rometheus looked at the Blue Eagle helicopter parked in front of him with satisfaction. He believed that with this, the subsequent operation to capture [Zero] would be much smoother.

"Doctor, the Blue Eagle helicopter has been safely delivered. Please check it!"

The pilot, who was piloting the plane, got off the helicopter and spoke to Rometheus.

"No need, thank you for your trouble."

Rometheus waved his hand dismissively. He was just a PhD in biology, not a military expert. As long as the body was delivered safely, that was enough.

"By the way, Dr. Rometheus, Ms. Demulan asked me to pass on a message to you. She said she put three boxes of high-explosive bombs and one box of aircraft-specific incendiary bombs in the helicopter. She hopes to see you next time you bring back [Zero]."

"Hmph! Go back and tell her that this kind of thing is none of her business as someone who guards the space base. If you have a headache, take more medicine. My affairs are none of her concern."

After Rometheus finished speaking, he took Ella and went downstairs, leaving the soldier standing there awkwardly. After waiting for a moment, he sighed and then went downstairs as well.

At this moment, only the Blue Eagle helicopter remained quietly parked on the rooftop, but this underscored that the Asara region would never be as peaceful as it was now.

Upon arriving at the laboratory, Rometheus went inside after passing iris recognition and fingerprint authentication.

What comes into view are rows of futuristic-looking nutrient tanks, where people are immersed in green nutrient solution, devoid of any life.

Inside the largest nutrient tank in the very center, the person inside was significantly larger and more muscular than the others. However, what felt out of place was that the bald head, which should have been round, now looked somewhat pointed. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the face was very similar to that of the previous guard captain.

"Doctor, should we wake them all up?"

Ella stood behind, holding a tablet. All the data displayed on it was currently stable. Looking at the wake-up button on the tablet, Ella asked.

"Yes, it's time. Equip them all with specially made Relink second-generation brain-computer interfaces. It's time to awaken my guards."

As the button was pressed, all the liquid in the nutrient tank dropped and was drained out. Then the nutrient tank's deck opened, and each person's robotic arm held a Relink brain-computer interface, which was then connected to the back of their heads.

"Activate the brain-computer interface."

As soon as Rometheus finished speaking, all the previously lifeless people opened their eyes, but their pupils were unfocused, like a still pool of water.

Looking at these people who seemed to have lost their souls, Rometheus nodded with great satisfaction and gave instructions to Ella:

"Input all those top-notch close-combat skills and firearms techniques into the system. From today onwards, they are the Blue Eagle Squad. Give that arrogant guard captain the highest management authority over his squad. Since he loved power in life, I'll be a good person to the end and let him enjoy these rights even after death!"

Rometheus said in a sickly tone, looking at these soldiers who were all like elite soldiers outside, now all gathered in his Blue Eagle Squad, and they could guarantee their absolute loyalty to him.

"Ah~ wonderful, [Zero] just wait, you are my most outstanding work in this life, the culmination of all my and Zoya's efforts. It's a pity that she may not have even seen you yet. I will prepare the most sophisticated brain-computer interface for you, and you will become my most outstanding [son]."

Every time Rometheus thought of Zhang Hao, he felt incredulous. Someone who had undergone brain surgery, who should have been mentally challenged, and who could soon be fitted with the brain-computer interface he had developed and become the strongest human in the world.

But he somehow developed self-awareness and broke through the defenses like a monster to escape.

Rometheus hated the feeling of not being in control of things, but this time he was surprised to find that he felt no anger at all, and he was not in a hurry to bring him back.

He wanted to see how far his son would grow and how his path would differ from the one he had paved for him.

After all, he was different from others.
