Chapter 79: The Value of Human Beings

There was a tunnel behind the rock wall. He walked slowly with his back bent for more than ten minutes and entered the next mine. When he climbed out from there, Ryan found that he had actually circled to the east of the city, which happened to be the place where he had overlooked Montpellier the day before yesterday.

She is really a cunning rabbit with three burrows. She cannot be caught without a large scale siege. But if there are too many people, her communications would have been monitored and she would still escape.

Ryan put Sakura on the ground and glanced at Vil-V who was slowly drying her hair. Several helicopters were hovering over the town, and the Fire Moth soldiers were searching every house.

Gunshots were heard soon, and without asking, one knew that there had been a fight with local gangs. Even though the Fire Moths had no resistance in front of Ryan, their firepower was comparable to that of an army.

"It can be considered as an execution of justice. This small town should be cleansed."

Ryan had good eyesight and could see some soldiers in protective clothing dragging out corpses from the ruins. Those were the ones he had left behind specifically so his genetic makeup could be analyzed quickly.

"The evolutionists' evil human experiments went out of control, massacring civilians, and then fighting with the fire moths. It sounds... so nice."

Ryan laughed. These were the surface evidence, and they were also very logical. A trap had already been set up from Mobius to Canghai.

The evolutionists who supported the Mantis Project conducted human experiments without authorization, which was a crime against humanity. These data were leaked from the Fifth Research Institute, and Mobius was not unrelated.

Even if the higher-ups were to protect it for the sake of the future of humanity, the plan would inevitably be frozen, and there would be no suspicion of the pure-blood style anyway.

"Sure enough, no one is stupid. They took action in advance. Is this considered diverting trouble?"

Ryan folded his arms, thinking that those people were weak in fighting, but were absolutely top-notch in political schemes, and he deeply grasped the essence of the problem:

Power redistribution requires vacant seats, but these seats can be filled by others.

"It is indeed a very good plan, with many links connected to each other. It can also use this incident to make me shut up, even if we can't find any clues after investigation." Vil-V nodded, appearing calm and rational.

"But what they wanted to do just happened to provoke me," Ryan added nonchalantly.

"It's really unlucky. Just because I offended Mobius?"

"It has something to do with her, but the Mantis Program cannot be frozen. I also want to use this turmoil to reorganize the Fire Moths a little bit." Ryan frowned and admitted reluctantly.

Vil-V smiled slightly, knowing that 'rectification' also included herself, she had already seen this man methods.

He acted decisively, without any nonsense and just crushed the opponent. His plan was clear and organized. Except for rescuing a killer inexplicably, there were almost no flaws.

"If you can do this well, it will be a great help to some people. In exchange, they will certainly agree to some of your requests."

"That's right. That's why I won't make a special trip. Apart from your accident, the Pure Blood faction plan was completed very well. And I guess the dirty laundry you have is powerful enough."

"Well, I found one of their human testing sites and downloaded some confidential data from it, including some images and top-secret files. The people behind the scenes are indeed those Pure Blood." Vil-V said lightly, and pointed at Sakura next to her, "If Cocoon testifies again and throws out both things, they will be finished."

Ryan eyes widened slightly. He guessed that Vil-V must have gotten an important secret, but he didn't expect the secret to be so surprising. No wonder the Pure Blood group was chasing him crazily.

The top leaders have their own rules, and if they act anti-human or something like that, they will be expelled from their seats. But if this conspiracy is uncovered, all factions will unite to physically eliminate them.

How despicable and ungraceful it is! How can we save humanity together with insects?

"I have hidden the data. When will I release it?"

"Why rush? Some people in the Fire Council are more anxious than me. The later you provide timely assistance, the better the effect." Ryan shook his head. He didn't like to get involved in these dirty intrigues, but since he had stepped in,

Then you have to make a lot of money.

After thinking about it, it was indeed the case, but Vil-V still chose to make it clear: "But if this happens, they will find out that I am not dead, and will do everything they can to wipe us out, including the Cocoon. This commission cannot be considered a misunderstanding."

"Are you afraid when I'm here?"

The man glanced at her sideways, his tone was very calm, without any of the recklessness that comes from being hot-blooded. He just stood there stating a fact. Vil-V eyes widened slightly, then became quiet again.

"No."

...

The Fire Council, as the governing body of the Fire Moths, has been shrouded in mystery from the very beginning. Because the organization is extremely confidential and filled with political struggles and assassinations, the identity of each councillor is kept highly confidential.

Although the times have changed and their identities have long been guessed, there is no need for them to gather together to discuss like the League of Nations Council did. Instead, they can only hold a remote meeting in a dark room at the headquarters using electronic nameplates.

The advantage of doing this is that no one can wipe out the Fire Council in one fell swoop, which satisfies the mystery and ritual sense of the big shots, and allows for "group discussions" while holding meetings.

"The first phase of the meeting is over. Calis left enough time for us to discuss individually. He is very smart and noticed something was wrong."

The moonlight shines through the dome, making this elegantly decorated room look cool and cool. The oil portraits on the wall are hidden in the shadows, exuding low-key luxury everywhere.

The large office desk was very tidy, with two 30-inch screens placed on the left and right. The old man who was speaking had silver hair, triangular eyes, a goatee, and a plaid shirt supported by his sturdy body. He was dressed very casually.

The left screen shows the Fire Moth headquarters. In that depressing conference room, there are forty-six tombstone-like electronic nameplates. The nameplates simply have the number 'Sicht-XX' and, of course, a silent pattern.

The right screen was the same, except that the room was much smaller, there were only six 'tombstones', and an indistinguishable electronic synthesized sound was emitted.

"The director is playing dirty tricks, trying to buy time and let those people get in touch with each other."

"As long as the exchange of benefits is sufficient, crimes against humanity and war crimes are worthless, but this time, they must at least give up five seats."

"Are just five seats enough to satisfy the appetite of the new nobles?"

"How can we possibly be satisfied? From now on, the Mantis Program will be frozen, and resources will be tilted towards the Second Research Institute. Our position will become even more unshakable."

When people live in this world, what they depend on for survival is value. They can give full play to their own value or attack the value of others. In essence, it is a dispute over route.

To fight against the collapse, the Fire Moth has prepared two legs, one is to climb the technology, the other is to fuse warriors. The latter is bound by ethics, so at this stage, resources are more inclined to the former.

However, the Third Herrscher broke the balance. The fleet built at great expense, the Honkai warheads and even the Scepter of God did not play a decisive role. Instead, it was Ryan and Elysia who shined. This was the origin of the crisis.

This is very embarrassing. The earth resources are limited, and resources must be concentrated on the most valuable routes, which affects the interests of some people.

"Humanity must maintain its purity. Only in this way can defeating the Honkai be meaningful. If we change our genes and become closer to those monsters, it will be no different from surrendering."

The old man tapped the table lightly, his voice heavy and sad.

This is the core argument of the Pure Blood faction, which has many supporters all over the world and resonates with many people.

"Yes, this is the answer that best fits nature and philosophy."

"Calis is too eager for quick success. Those weapons are indeed disappointing, but more and stronger weapons are being developed. When the Fourth Herrscher arrives, he will surely shine!"

"Our path is the path that humans should take, to achieve victory as human beings."

A faint smile appeared on the old man's lips. This was not only a benefit, but also the expectation of most humans. They had already verified the Mantis plan, and no one wanted to become that kind of monster.

Just when he was about to strike while the iron was hot, a small window popped up on the screen. The smile froze instantly, and the deep blue eyes became sharp.

It was a bit unbelievable and a bit at a loss, as if the joy had reached its peak but was then hit hard on the head.

How is that possible? There were hounds and a whole team of Cocoon.

His expression changed drastically, but he still took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and slammed the table hard with his hand.

Knock knock.

The discussion suddenly stopped, and the bigwigs who were drawing a blueprint for the future were a little confused.

"Everyone, I have some bad news to tell you now." The old man did not keep anyone in suspense and tried his best to remain calm: "The preliminary investigation report has come out. The magician is not dead, but the Cocoon are almost completely destroyed. In other words, someone saw through our plan and intervened in advance."

Silence, deathly silence. The joy just felt was gone, and I could even feel the fear through the screen.

"That person must die!"

"If she doesn't die, we're done."

"What she has in her hand is the only evidence. If the Evolutionists learn the truth, they will tear us apart, and then no one will speak for us."

This time the emotions were even more intense, it turned out that these top dignitaries could also roar and show fear.

"Gentlemen, calm down. Since the evidence has not yet reached the hands of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, there is still a chance to remedy the situation." The old man knocked on the table again and picked up the phone on the table in front of his companions.

"You have received the message, right? If you want to settle accounts with me, we can talk about it later, but you should know that Cocoon is also involved in this matter. Now find her at any cost and make her shut up forever, no matter who is around her."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before a hoarse reply came.

"How many people do we need to send?"

The old man gripped the phone with such force that his fingertips turned white and veins popped out on his forehead. There was no trace of elegance left in him.

"Everyone!!"
