Chapter 752 Research base
“Look at him, then look at us,” Cheng Yu said peeved while crouching next to Vanilla. “Back when the plans were being drafted, why didn’t you ask the boss why she insisted that we come to a godforsaken place where birds don’t even defecate?”
In the Sacred Mountains, it was not an exaggeration to use “where birds don’t even defecate” to describe the place. There were really no birds that could be seen anywhere. Otherwise, Cheng Yu would not have to resort to doing the splits for a hardtack!
Fortunately, they had already joined up with Vanilla and the others. After all, Vanilla’s team members were all Anjing House hitmen. By helping each other out, they would definitely be more united than the outsiders no matter what. Therefore, there wouldn’t be a need to worry about food anymore. However, as Cheng Yu ate his hardtack, he saw that even Ren Xiaosu had someone taking care of his daily needs. This nearly caused him to throw the hardtack onto the ground.
Comparisons were really infuriating!
But Vanilla handed him a water bottle and said calmly, “What’s the point of comparing with him? Look at the other side.”
While they were eating breakfast, Li Shentan was served by more than a 100 Pyro Company members on the other side and being treated like a king. He did not even have to wash his face by himself. There were also some Pyro Company members washing his clothes next to the stream.
Vanilla was right. What was the point of comparing with Ren Xiaosu? If he wanted to compare, he should be comparing with this person instead.
Cheng Yu flinched. “Who can compare to him? He can control thousands of people like he’s playing a game. If I were him, I would’ve run off to a deserted place and abducted tens of thousands of people to become their ruler!”
“Someone secretly left the group last night.” Vanilla whispered, “When our teams joined up last night, there were 27 people in Cheng Yu’s group and 35 in mine. But look at how many people there are left now? Only 51!”
“Left? Where can they run to now? Since we’ve already come this far, I definitely won’t be satisfied if we don’t go into the Sacred Mountains and have a look inside.” Cheng Yu curled his lips and said, “Do you think it’s true that we can obtain a way to achieve immortality with the legendary No. 001 Experimental’s DNA after we capture it?”
“I think it’s true.” Vanilla said, “Someone has already confirmed with Li Yingyun of the Riders that the Experimentals did mention this when Stronghold 74 got destroyed. And think about it. To say nothing of the No. 001 Experimental, even those failed Experimentals have managed to live for more than 200 years. If the No. 001 Experimental appears, it’ll very likely introduce a revolutionary change to the lifespan of humanity.”
“I hope it doesn’t show up then.” Cheng Yu shook his head and said, “I don’t want to go through any more changes. This kinda life is already good enough, so I don’t wish that we can live that long.”
In fact, Cheng Yu represented the thoughts of most people in this era. They were no longer looking forward to any huge changes to their lives, and it was good enough living as they were with humanity developing slowly.
Was it a good thing to be able to live for a long time? Who the hell knew what other trouble those consortiums might cause?
“Let’s not talk about that for now.” Vanilla continued, “11 people have run away overnight. I suspect they aren’t scattered individuals but people from the same organization. In the battle yesterday, the Pyro Company suffered heavy casualties. Who knows how many T5-ranked experts have died? Y’know, not all the T5 combatants are in the Sacred Mountains. There’s other T5 combatants stationed at their other strongholds to guard the places, so only a few of them are likely left in the Sacred Mountains at this moment.”
Vanilla said this rather loudly as he did not intend to hide it from anyone. Or rather, he just wanted to bring up the topic so everyone could join in the discussion.
When Ren Xiaosu heard them talking about T5 combatants, he wondered if he should feel a little sad. After all, he had just experienced the pain of losing his “son.” That poor T5 combatant had died so soon after establishing a father-son relationship with him.
