"Ah! Brat, how dare you get Menglu drunk?! What are you planning?!" Qi Qiusheng's furious expression as he saw the tipsy Qi Menglu being sent home made Yang Xiaoyou feel somewhat speechless.
On the other hand, Dream Butterfly appeared to be in a daze, almost falling asleep, while Menglu seemed to be the most normal among them.
The arrangements in the Middle East had already begun to take effect. The wheels of history could no longer be stopped. For many, this was indeed an opportunity, but at the same time, it also signified the destruction of old forces.
Choosing this moment to announce their results, P had an exceptional grasp of timing.
If they continued along the general direction of memory, P's ultimate choice would be to cooperate with multiple countries simultaneously. By navigating between major powers and maintaining balance, they would ultimately gain substantial benefits.
When the Virtual Docking System was just starting to be utilized, the first targets were the reserve mech pilots from various countries. The realistic simulation closely mimicked reality and could even replicate death and falls to a significant extent—experiences that could not be obtained during regular training.
Undoubtedly, Hive Security Company, as the Second Largest Shareholder, had complete usage rights and would utilize it more advancedly than before.
After this holiday, Chen Hao would also begin his long training period.
"The framework is mostly done; now we just lack the power system and that Anti-Lock System. Tsk tsk, it seems that princess wanted to get her hands on the Anti-Lock System at the beginning. I guess she was already preparing for something before this matter came up," Yang Xiaoyou thought as he walked toward the area, his heart racing a bit.
Naturally, Hive Security Company would be envious of such a lucrative system.
However, if they got involved before the Chinese Empire reversed its course and announced results, they would likely face full-scale suppression and retaliation from the United States. If they were to make a move now, they must wait for that opportunity.
At the same time, HLI also needed to be dragged into this mess to consider it; for now, this blueprint would remain under wraps.
After all, regardless of what happened, even if they didn’t obtain the Anti-Lock System and abandoned their plans, they would have to wait until a second competitor appeared to sell it at the best price.
Moreover, given that Hive Security Company was still expanding its production capacity, even if they planned to set up a ready-made Production Line and machines, it would require some time for adjustment. Just as Yang Xiaoyou pondered these issues and prepared to enter the area, he suddenly looked up and saw a figure that absolutely should not have been there.
Dressed in a luxurious red ribbon outfit, she stood quietly atop a streetlamp. Due to the shadow cast by the lamp itself, half of her silhouette was hidden in darkness. He could only vaguely see her delicate pointed chin and half of a mask concealed in the light's shadow.
The night breeze made her ribbons flutter softly; without that sudden sound, Yang Xiaoyou might not have noticed her presence at all!
Yet this figure seemed to have been watching him all along. Even under the strong light of the streetlamp, her gaze could not be concealed.
"It’s you?!" Although he couldn’t clearly see her with his naked eye due to the distance and shadows, he still had a deep impression of that mask from their previous encounters!
It was the same mysterious figure who had once controlled the Tyrant atop Burj Dubai, and later manipulated the Licker in the infected town.
Now, looking at her luxurious attire and the exposed, fair skin, it was undeniable that she was a woman, and likely very alluring. Her outfit transformed what would have been a disadvantage into an advantage, making her appear exceptionally captivating, with a tantalizing hint of skin that was even more seductive.
"I'm not used to this." Just as Yang Xiaoyou hesitated, the figure on the lamppost lightly pointed her toes and performed a graceful flip in mid-air before landing elegantly on the ground.
At the same time, a slightly low, melodious voice drifted over from where she stood.
As she landed and slowly raised her head, the mask she wore only revealed a vague outline, simplifying many features and faintly exposing some skin beneath. This sudden glimpse gave Yang Xiaoyou an odd sense of familiarity.
"Who are you?" Taking half a step closer to the side, Yang Xiaoyou looked into the figure's eerie eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Well, I helped you clean up the path ahead, and you've already forgotten so soon?" The Red Shadow walked towards Yang Xiaoyou with an air of nonchalance.
Yang Xiaoyou's heart raced as the black figure flashed past her. A wave of unease washed over her; it seemed that this person knew exactly who she was—the same individual from Burj Dubai! And it appeared they knew much more than just that!
The thought that this person had likely been watching her all along sent a chill down her spine. She had to keep her secret about consuming those mutated insects safe!
"Hey? Don't be so fierce. If I really wanted to do something to you, I could have done it while you were unconscious. Why do you think those villagers outside didn't come in when you fell into a coma?" The Mysterious Woman revealed a strange smile at the corners of her mouth.
Hearing this made Yang Xiaoyou's expression darken. While there might be some truth to what she said, the memories of her past suffering were still fresh in her mind.
The root of all this was her own condition!
She could afford for her identity to be exposed! Even if it meant revealing that she was infected! But if anyone found out that she held the key to unraveling the mystery of immortality, things would get complicated!
If this person had been nearby while she was unconscious, who knew if they had secretly taken any of her samples? Even the slightest possibility made Yang Xiaoyou uneasy.
Although she understood that this person was dangerous and likely had some sort of 'pet' lurking in the shadows, Yang Xiaoyou's heart was boiling with murderous intent. She had no intention of holding back!
Now was indeed not the best time to act, but circumstances left her no choice but to prepare for confrontation!
"I have saved you so many times, and yet you still think about killing me? Is it just about immortality? That doesn't tempt me much," she said with a light chuckle. "Have you been scared ever since those days of being hunted? I didn't expect you to have moments of fear; I thought you were always so cold-blooded and ruthless." As the murderous intent within Yang Xiaoyou began to boil, the mysterious figure curled her lips and spoke in an unusually calm tone. With each step she took, she was now completely within striking distance of Yang Xiaoyou.
Even the faint scent of alcohol mixed with her fragrance wafted into Yang Xiaoyou's nostrils.
When the first half of her sentence emerged, Yang Xiaoyou felt an overwhelming urge to unleash a thunderous strike, wanting to eliminate her before she could summon any help!
However, the latter half of her statement left him momentarily stunned.
"You!" If Heart had been filled with murderous intent at the start, now Yang Xiaoyou felt a strange fear creeping in.
His greatest secret! A secret he had never intended to share with anyone, not even his closest kin! Yet it was exposed by this seemingly unconcerned Mysterious Girl who had walked right up to him.
Although it seemed like he could strike her down with a mere gesture, Yang Xiaoyou instinctively took a step back, maintaining a proper distance from her.
"Hehe, you still look so cute when you're scared," the mysterious woman said as she stood before him, noticing his astonished expression. A wicked smile crept across her lips.
Then she raised her palm and gently removed the mask from her face. To be continued.
