816 A Secret Meeting (2/2)
The two followed closely and into a meeting room where the young man entered. The room was filled with empty chairs and a long table and was decorated by thick curtains at all corners. The man pulled down a wide projector screen and powered on a computer.
Jiang Fei and Ariel exchanged looks and made the decision to stay in that room. Even though Jiang Fei's main objective to infiltrate the base was to find Han Tianyu, his end goal was to investigate and gather intelligence about the military. Being in that room could be helpful for Jiang Fei since he might be able to learn something from the man!
After the man had started the computer, he activated an encryption program before establishing a connection to the internet. Judging from what he was doing, it seemed that he was preparing for a meeting with someone who was not in that room. The man stood up from this chair and left the room, leaving Jiang Fei and Ariel alone.
”We should wait here. I think there's more coming in and we might learn something here,” said Jiang Fei.
”Yes, dear,” Ariel nodded and responded with a sweet purr.
An hour later, the man returned with Qin Tian and a few other officers.
”Let's start,” said Qin Tian, sitting down at the end of the long table.
”Yes, general!” said the man Qin Tian was talking to. When everyone was seated, the white projector screen flashed with a bright light before displaying a live feed of Fan Yao and a few other officers, walking away from him.
”Qin, how are the martial artists?” he asked.
”Sir, the martial artists are in Japan. I have reports saying that they have fought the Mutants in separate groups and sustained heavy casualties on both sides.”
”Is there anything that I should know about?” Fan Yao asked nonchalantly, as if he did not care about the martial artists, nor the Mutants.
”Nothing special, sir. The battlefield seems bland. It seems that because of the absence of reinforcements, the martial artists have refused to fight the Mutants. They had chosen to wait until reinforcements arrive. There is something that you should know… The man named Jiang Fei came to the base… looking for me,” said Qin Tian nervously.
”Looking for you?” said Fan Yao, thrown aback. He knew Jiang Fei very well since he was the source of all their alien technology.
”Yes, sir. He came to me requesting for reinforcements. Albeit that is given, I do question the method of how he arrived in China. From what I've gathered, there's no means of transport from Japan to China. Can he fly?” Qin Tian asked, frowning.
”Perhaps he has his own way of walking on water, but who cares. We have our plans to execute for now. Jiang Fei not being in Japan might be a good thing after all. His alien factory might still be useful to us,” Fan Yao stated with great interest gleaming from his eyes.
”Yes, sir! I will make sure there will be no hindrance to the plan!” Qin Tian stood up from his seat and saluted Fan Yao.
”Mhm, I trust your judgment. On a side note, the second batch of Androids is en route. They will be reporting to you shortly,” said Fan Yao.
”That's great news. Our forces will be stronger with the second batch. When the third batch arrives, we would not need to depend on the martial artist scum!” Qin Tian roared with excitement.
