Chapter 1469 Infinite Resentment
Seeing Qu Jianlei's surprised expression, Wu Zhen didn't care about anything else.
"Well, I'm asking you about the patent, not because I want to buy it. Under the current circumstances, it's totally unnecessary to think about it!"
"I just want to ask you if you can help me get some non-toxic meat. There is no shortage of locust carcasses in the shelter..."
At this point, his voice lowered, "I have more than three to five hundred people here who want to eat their meat..."
"Many of the survivors here have witnessed their families being eaten by them, so I'm sorry to bother you..."
Wu Zhen stood up and bowed deeply. "The price is negotiable. It can also boost morale."
Qu Jianlei spread his hands and said, "This alien race...even if it's not poisonous, it may cause problems if eaten, but it's not detectable at the moment."
"I know this very well," Wu Zhen nodded slightly, "If I hadn't killed my mentor, I should have graduated with a degree in gene editing."
"This..." Qu Jianlei touched his forehead, not knowing what to say.
Finally he sighed, "That's great. I don't have to find someone to do the experiment."
But then, his brows raised, "But if I process the locust meat at a high price, what can I get?"
"Let's get this one thing together. There's no debt!"
"Just ask, sir," Wu Zhen said without hesitation, "As long as you dare to ask, I dare to agree!"
After a pause, he smiled helplessly, "I know you will definitely doubt it, but I really think so."
"Well, to show my sincerity, I will first give you a brief introduction of the characteristics of the alien race we encountered."
Qu Jianlei already knew a lot of things that Wu Zhen described, but there was much more that he didn't know.
For example, those mysterious spores are essentially the seeds of trees, but these seeds can only grow on the mother plant.
After arriving at a suitable place for breeding, the spores quickly take root and sprout on the mother plant, and gray seedlings emerge.
At the seedling stage, locusts will not devour the seedlings - this is due to the rules of the symbiotic system.
As for other information, the alliance has only observed it for a short time and has not drawn any further conclusions.
For example, how these seedlings separate from the mother plant - this requires long-term observation.
But no matter what, it is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Miao is a male tadpole.
These spores are not harmful to the human body, but if too much is inhaled, it can cause negative reactions, like being attacked by dark elements.
Essentially, the Alliance believes that the alien race that appeared this time is primarily dark in nature.
Just like the black lines emitted by the trees, the Alliance has done research and believed that they are spatial fluctuations with dark attributes.
This is not a hasty judgment. The league has been looking at this issue for a long time and has carefully examined it.
As for the spatial fluctuations... they actually have dark attributes? This is too normal. Everything has yin and yang.
Since there can be matter and antimatter, why can't there be space fluctuations with different properties?
Moreover, these experts speculated that the power of these black lines would have been even greater, but it was a pity that they came to our world.
The dark attribute of our world is not active, which leads to a significant reduction in power, but this black line itself is actually very scary.
Qu Jianlei felt that he had made a fortune by gaining so much information from this charge.
The only secret about the spores and black lines is that you can’t buy them with money.
He didn't know how much the alliance paid to analyze these things.
But he was sure that if he wanted to figure these things out, he would have to spend more than just manpower and material resources.
However, the surprises did not end there. Wu Zhen said that he had also heard a rumor.
Whenever the alien race completely occupies a planet, a mother tree with a diameter of over a thousand meters will appear on the planet.
And this mother tree will become the king of trees, managing all the other trees in a unified way. No tree will be able to resist, which is similar to rank suppression.
So far, the thickest tree Qu Jianlei has ever seen has a diameter of only about 700 meters.
The main gun of a battalion-class ship would take at least dozens of shots to destroy.
These trees with a diameter of over a thousand meters are most likely to have undergone a mutation in their life form.
At least Qu Jianlei felt a little terrified. The vast sea of trees was scary enough, but if there was an organization...
But at the critical moment, the soul-nourishing wooden bracelet on his hand snorted coldly, "It's just a Yuanying tree demon, who are you trying to scare?"
Yuanying is not bad, right? Qu Jianlei muttered to himself.
Moreover, the Nascent Soul may not be scary, but it is very scary if the Nascent Soul leads an army with similar cultivation levels.
Qu Jianlei was not sure how terrifying the rank suppression was, but at least it was better than "strict military discipline", right?
However, he did not answer Yi He, but frowned and asked, "How many mother trees like this exist in the alliance?"
"Haha," Wu Zhen smiled mysteriously, "How many? The alliance will really be in chaos."
Then his face straightened, "I'm not sure exactly how many there are, but... that's just what I heard."
"Okay, got it," Qu Jianlei nodded calmly, "One last question, where is Higgins?"
You invited me in, and now you want to keep me in suspense? I'm sorry, I won't talk about it anymore!
It must be admitted that he had received a lot of information tonight, far exceeding his initial expectations.
But the other party's attitude really made him very dissatisfied.
You, the military, are holding on to so much information and not releasing it to the public. You're committing a crime, don't you know that?
Now you're using your information source to block me? Sorry, I really don't buy it.
It's never a business deal. You keep doing your thing, and I'll go ask Higgins, okay?
"Take out the dead locusts. After we deal with them, we will leave!"
Wu Zhen was a little stunned when he heard this. Are you really going to leave like this?
To be honest, he is not a pure soldier, at least his mind is not that pure. It's a local army... It's normal.
But he is not a bad person by nature. The reason he is being treated like this now is only because he has more demands.
But when he wanted to explain at this moment, he swallowed his words silently when he saw the other side's powerful team of eight people.
It's best not to do anything that adds fuel to the fire.
Next, someone brought in five locust corpses, which were tattered and incomplete.
This person probably felt a little embarrassed and could only explain, "Sir, these... the big ones are all here."
Qu Jianlei nodded expressionlessly, but he was quite speechless in his heart. I was just doing an experiment, do you guys want to have a feast?
You may not feel comfortable after eating this!
However, he also knew that there were many things worth studying on locusts, and every experimental subject was worth cherishing.
All you have to do is experiment with the eating habits, and their choice is right!
The truth is that other people provided him with a group of people who were willing to take the risk to eat it. In the empire, only death row prisoners could be used for experiments.
Therefore, people should know how to be content.
The initial solution proposed by Xiaohu was extremely expensive, but it had one advantage: the solution was confirmed.
To put it bluntly - he carried all those expensive materials with him!
So he set up a small shielded experimental room and did the work himself.
Although Wu Zhen has left, this is his territory, so it is still easy to find out some things here.
In fact, to be frank, if he put all his efforts and mobilized all his troops, it would not be difficult to deal with these eight people.
Is there anything that cannot be done with eight people out of 40,000 people? The only question is how high the cost will be.
However, those who do this are basically brainless villains in novels. No one would do this in real life.
After seeing the professional-grade small experimental room, Wu Zhen, as a semi-expert, really deeply appreciated the other party's professionalism.
How could an ordinary Supreme think of buying this thing?
So he walked over leisurely with his hands behind his back and waited outside the room.
Outside the room, the other seven members of the opposing team were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Zhen believed that if he wanted to force his way in at this moment, even three lives would not be enough.
Just looking at those seven pairs of cold eyes, they will definitely attack without mercy at any time.
Especially the female supreme with the gold attribute, who should be the second most powerful person in this team in terms of combat power.
The woman looked at him as if she was looking at a ball of air, as if he didn't exist at all.
The more this happened, the more he had to keep his composure. He smiled and nodded at the other party, "Are you going to save Higgins?"
Jing Yuexin didn't bother to pay attention to him at all. She pretended not to hear him and her eyes didn't change at all.
The other six people did not react at all, and the air was filled with awkwardness.
However, Wu Zhen did not feel embarrassed. He didn't know how long he could live, so what was there for him to care about?
After a pause, he continued, "Perhaps you don't believe me, but I was also deceived."
He raised his hand and pointed outward, "I didn't even know that locusts were so difficult to deal with... otherwise they wouldn't have held back the aliens for so long."
"I highly doubt that the Alliance has also figured out a way to make locust meat non-toxic... after all, you guys have figured it out."
He did not think that a research team composed of awakened ones could surpass the research level of the Alliance, nor did he think that this statement was presumptuous.
"But they didn't tell me that locust meat can be processed to be non-toxic. I don't even know what to call this alien race."
Hearing this, Jing Yuexin finally spoke up, "Do you have a grudge against Higgins?"
"The relationship is indeed not very harmonious," Wu Zhen nodded calmly, "I don't want you to save him."
"Humph," Bentley couldn't help but snorted when he heard this, "After all the internal strife, you still want to fight against aliens?"
A trace of resentment flashed across Wu Zhen's eyes. "Without his willful behavior, the people of Baozhi could have evacuated at least ten days earlier."
"Why is he insisting on doing this? He just wants to make his resume look better, but he is also a member of the local army!"
"He was only thinking about his own career advancement and wealth, and he ignored the suffering of his fellow countrymen and misjudged the severity of the situation."
"Why save this kind of person?"
