Zheng Yuandong, lightly equipped, walked along the street, following the route planned by Qing Chen, meeting two Guardians' Union members at the designated location, and then proceeding together.
These two Home Families were for opening the Key Gate.
One would have been enough, but to be safe, Qing Chen arranged for two.
Ideally, the best way to use a Key Gate is to carry the door, which allows for stable arrival at a destination.
But with experts in the entire city under surveillance, carrying a door to visit a scientist would be somewhat disrespectful to the Koshima intelligence agency.
It would also make you look like a fool.
Fortunately, the Guardians' Union has many people, and every city has a group of Time Travelers; this is the advantage of widespread deployment.
The two Home Families were a little nervous, so Zheng Yuandong comforted them, "The situation hasn't escalated yet, so the alert levels of Koshima and Shendai won't be too high. As long as we're careful, we'll be fine."
Arriving in the third district, Jiangnan Road, Zheng Yuandong didn't even change his appearance or clothes; he went straight up and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock. The door opened, and the person inside seemed to have been waiting.Zheng Yuandong smiled and said, "Mr. Ning Zhiyuan has an appointment with you, and I'm here to visit on his behalf."
The middle-aged man inside carefully examined him, then subconsciously looked outside, as if checking for surveillance.
At this moment, the intelligence personnel outside were already in action. He secretly photographed Zheng Yuandong's profile and transmitted it to headquarters: "Target 2 has a visitor; please confirm the visitor's identity. Target 2's behavior is somewhat unusual, as if conducting secret activities. Request Garrison Troops to approach!"
The communication channel replied: "Comparing now, Garrison Troops have been notified."
Theoretically, there are 631 research experts under constant surveillance, and 71 of them received visitors tonight.
The two Zheng Yuandong visited were socialites who received many visitors daily, including media reporters, close friends, students, and political figures.
Having visitors isn't unusual.
However, the Koshima intelligence agency was more perceptive than they thought. After visiting only the second house, they were already noticed, and facial recognition and comparison had begun.
On the other hand, Zheng Yuandong, seemingly unaware of Koshima's movements, smiled and asked, "Won't you invite us in?"
"Come in," the middle-aged man said, "I've told you, I don't necessarily have to go. If you want to persuade me, you have to show sufficient sincerity."
Zheng Yuandong slowly said, "You're an expert in biotechnology. Many of Koshima's recent advancements in Gene Medicine come from you. I heard you've found a new breakthrough? Is it A-Class Gene Medicine?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "No, the human body is too fragile. B-Class is the limit of Gene Medicine; this path won't work."
"But I heard there is A-Class Gene Medicine overseas," Zheng Yuandong said, "Forbidden Artifact Tribunal also has it, and their Gene Medicine seems to have no side effects."
The middle-aged man looked at him and said confidently, "Gene Medicine adds to the genes. If you want to reach A-Class Gene Medicine, it will inevitably be extreme, even causing humans to become bestial or causing gene chain collapse, resulting in massive rejection reactions. Even Metahumans can't withstand it."
The middle-aged man continued, "The Forbidden Artifact Tribunal can produce a small amount of Gene Medicine because they have special gene fragments—god's gene fragments—that you can't obtain. Don't even think about this."
The origins of the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal remain mysterious. Some say its predecessor was an organization called Ember, originally under the control of a high-ranking Federation officer named "P5092," along with Ember Military Academy.
Later, a small group of people unwilling to teach at the school, led by an Ember member codenamed Black Fox, left the military academy and founded the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal.
Just like the Observer organization separated from Hope Media.
If the rumors are true, it's not surprising that the Forbidden Artifact Tribunal has God's blood, because P5092 had a very good relationship with the Demi-god Ren Xiaosu and participated in the salvation battle against the intelligent machine crisis.
Moreover, the origin of Gene Medicine is the Ember organization.
"Then why does A-Class Gene Medicine exist overseas?" Zheng Yuandong asked. "Now that Inner World information is interconnected, Mr. Cai Xinyan, you must have heard that there are A-Class Gene Soldiers overseas, and they haven't died."
Cai Xinyan sneered, "I've bought some information and seen photos of those Gene Soldiers. They just chose the least costly form of bestialization, such as scales on the body, antennae on the head, thick hair, but that doesn't mean I approve of their actions. Turning people into beasts is extremely dangerous; intelligence will regress, and lifespan will shorten to less than 30 years. Researching this kind of Gene Medicine is a crime."
Cai Xinyan continued, "It's because I don't want to be forced to research this kind of Gene Medicine anymore that I contacted you. If you also want me to conduct this research, please leave."
This scientist is relatively young, only 41 years old, and he isn't particularly interested in extending his life by 21 years.
He wants to leave simply because he's tired of the research direction here.
He witnessed Koshima using the Gene Medicine he researched to conduct clinical trials directly on humans.
He also saw those ordinary people turn into terrifying monsters after injecting the medicine.
Cai Xinyan hadn't slept well for a long time. After seeing City 10's talent introduction plan, he even proactively contacted President Ning Zhiyuan.
Zheng Yuandong smiled and said, "I'll ask you on behalf of someone. If they have God's gene fragment, would you be willing to go to City 10?"
Cai Xinyan was stunned, "You have God's blood?"
"To be precise," Zheng Yuandong said, "someone has a drop of God's blood flowing in their body."
Qing Chen's needs for scientific researchers are clear: scientists in nanobots, high-energy physics, and biological sciences are prioritized for City 10.
He clearly understands what a side-effect-free Gene Medicine means for a large organization.
Cai Xinyan said, "I'm willing to go, but can we escape?"
"Don't worry," Zheng Yuandong smiled, "As long as you want to leave, you will be able to leave."
210 meters across from the villa, on the top floor of a house, Koshima intelligence personnel were closely watching the villa's gate.
At this time, someone suddenly said on the communication channel: "The photo has been matched. This person just visited another researcher. Quickly, quickly go and confirm the situation at Scientist 2 Cai Xinyan's house! Also check if anyone is at Scientist 13's house!"
At the same time, several intelligence personnel quickly approached the villas in two locations.
Scientist 13 was the wheelchair-bound old man Zheng Yuandong first took away. The villa's lights were still on, so the intelligence personnel simply walked up and knocked, knock, knock.
No response.
He knocked again, knock, knock, knock.
Still no response.
The intelligence personnel immediately panicked and smashed the first-floor window, climbing inside.
But the villa was empty, with things in disarray on the ground.
He said urgently on the communication channel: "Scientist 13's house is empty! His entire family has disappeared! Scientist 2's place is probably the same!"
The commander on the communication channel was stunned. Someone had snatched two academic bigwigs right from under their noses? If he couldn't explain this, he'd face the strictest investigation!
But the commander couldn't figure it out. How bold would the person who took the two scientists be to not even bother with disguise, just directly visiting one after another? Didn't they realize that the Koshima intelligence system had already begun deployment?
"Quickly, confirm if Scientist 2 Cai Xinyan is still inside!"
"Received, approaching!"
This numbering is Koshima's order of importance. A total of 631 scientists are being monitored, so you can see how important numbers 2 and 13 are, and now these two important figures are being taken away.
Inside, Zheng Yuandong remained calm.
His Home Families took the golden True Sight Eye and opened the Key Gate.
Zheng Yuandong looked inside; the Key Gate didn't lead to the Garrison Troops camp but to a beach.
He curiously asked, "Haven't you seen the sea before?"
The Home Families were a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I'm from inland; seeing the sea has been a dream of mine since childhood."
Zheng Yuandong said, "Don't apologize. Opening the Key Gate to the wrong place is common, which is why we brought two people. I'm surprised that even the housing assignment couldn't attract you. Come on, let's try the next one."
The other Home Family received the golden True Sight Eye, turning it clockwise ten times on the wall. Unexpectedly, this time, the Key Gate actually opened to a bustling street in City 23!
Zheng Yuandong looked, amused.
Bringing two Home Families for safety, yet neither could open it to the right place?
Is the appeal of housing allocation that low? No, they only talked about giving Home Families houses but didn't let them see what the houses looked like; the temptation wasn't enough.
They need to do more preparation next time, telling the Home Families in advance that they'll get at least a three-bedroom apartment!
But that's for later. What to do now?
Then, Zheng Yuandong looked at the biotechnology expert and said, "I can assure you that the person waiting for you in the City 10 Garrison Troops conference room has God's blood flowing in their body. This is something you won't get in Koshima or Shendai in a lifetime, or even ten lifetimes. If you want to research this, turn this stone clockwise ten times, thinking about where you want to go."
He handed the golden stone to the biological science expert. The next moment, the expert opened the Key Gate, and behind it was the conference room where Qing Chen was!
Zheng Yuandong said, "I admire your love and dedication to science. All you need to do is walk through this door to reach City 10. Good luck."
The biological science expert hesitantly walked in, and Zheng Yuandong heard the sound of champagne being opened from inside, the cork popping out of the bottle with a crisp "pop."
Zheng Yuandong breathed a sigh of relief. When he and Qing Chen discussed the plan on Whale Island, they knew that this biological science expert was the most crucial link in Qing Chen's plan.
Qing Chen wanted to make the best use of the drop of God's blood in his body.
Of course, one biological science expert isn't enough; Zheng Yuandong still needs to pick up many more.
As he was thinking, there was a banging on the door, and someone shouted fiercely, "Open up!"
Zheng Yuandong walked to the door, raised his right hand, and drew a black knife from nothingness, directly piercing through the alloy door.
The black knife smoothly pierced through the door and the intelligence personnel's heart behind it—precise and ruthless.
The two Home Families were shocked!
Zheng Yuandong opened the door, and two more intelligence personnel raised their guns, aiming at Zheng Yuandong's forehead.
There were a few clang sounds, and Principal Zheng actually judged the trajectories of the bullets, blocking them one by one.
The intelligence personnel roared, "Attack! A-Class or above! Requesting reinforcements! The enemy is forcibly taking Scientist 2!"
The next second, a split bullet hit the Koshima intelligence personnel's heart!
The two Home Families watched this scene, their mouths agape. This is the strength of the Kunlun leader?!
Before they could react, Zheng Yuandong had already flashed to the Koshima intelligence personnel and killed them one by one.
"Ah, this," the Home Families thought, didn't they say to act cautiously? This isn't very cautious!
This so-called infiltration and penetration—is it to kill everyone who discovers them?
Zheng Yuandong glanced at the time, "According to Qing Chen's estimate, the Garrison Troops will arrive in five minutes; that's enough time."
He looked at the two Home Families beside him, "I'll go in for a bit; you wait here."
Zheng Yuandong entered the Garrison Troops conference room.
In the conference room, people were checking the patent documents brought by Scientists 2 and 13: "No problem. The research materials are also fine."
Qing Chen smiled, "Let's begin then."
If he didn't know that Scientist 13 was a computer engineering giant, he might have thought it was some kind of a scam.
Qing Chen then performed the ritual on Scientist 2, who also experienced the miracle of extending his life by 21 years.
"You've both experienced it," Qing Chen asked, "How is it?"
The two scientists looked at each other and nodded simultaneously, "Real."
Qing Chen returned the documents and patent materials to them. Scientist 2 was stunned, "Giving them back? You don't want them?"
Qing Chen smiled, "Rest assured, we invited you to City 10 for free research; we won't confiscate your patents or restrict your personal freedom."
Scientists 2 and 13 looked at each other, "Understood. We've personally experienced it; now we'll notify the others."
Then, Scientist 13 made a phone call, "Confirmed it's real; you can come over too."
Qing Chen smiled and looked at Zheng Yuandong, "Boss Zheng, you'll have to make another trip. Follow our plan."
"Mm," Zheng Yuandong nodded, "But I can handle City 23; what about City 20?"
"It's fine, I've already figured it out. Boss Zheng just needs to handle City 23," Qing Chen said.
Zheng Yuandong returned to the Key Gate and had his Home Families close the gate with the golden True Sight Eye.
At this moment, the sound of engines could be heard outside, and hundreds of Garrison Troops arrived on the scene.
The timing was perfect.
"You two Home Families leave through the back door; I'll draw their attention," Zheng Yuandong said, looking outside. He took out his True Sight Eye, "Tian Shan three zhang of snow, is it time for a long journey?"
In an instant, on the street in front of the villa, huge ice spikes rose unevenly from the ground, piercing through all the Garrison Troops vehicles!
On that street, a glacier hundreds of meters long seemed to suddenly appear! Killing the Garrison Troops in disarray!
"Tian Shan three zhang of snow, is it time for a long journey?" is a witch's incantation.
Initially, witch inheritance came from Europe, and the incantations were all English.
However, after the Demi-god Ren Xiaosu unified the witch inheritance, he brought the Forbidden Artifact ACE004 True Sight Eye to China and developed a complete set of Chinese incantations.
In Ren Xiaosu's words, China's Cultivation inheritance is A-Class and above, using one's body as a bridge to merge with the world's will.
In witch inheritance, language is the key to mobilizing spiritual will to harmonize with the world's will, while the True Sight Eye is the bridge. China and foreign countries have different paths leading to the same destination.
Since it's the same destination, there's no reason why only English can harmonize with the world's will; Chinese should also be able to!
Later, Ren Xiaosu discovered a large number of incantations, such as:
Congratulatory fortune sinking earth technique.
God of wealth arrival meteor technique.
Early birth of a noble son body-double technique.
Red hot fire explosion fireball.
Wishing you happiness makes people cry uncontrollably.
The incantations invented by the Demi-god Ren Xiaosu are quite polite.
Holding the black True Sight Eye and uttering a bunch of blessings looks festive, but it actually hides murderous intent.
However, besides these incantations, the Observer organization has recently researched a more brutal set of incantations: classical Chinese poetry.
Like the one just now, the move was an S-class spell!
It can be said that when the black True Sight Eye was in Ren Xiaosu's hands, because he personally looked down on witch inheritance, he didn't study it properly, so he failed to carry forward this inheritance.
It was only with Zheng Yuandong that it regained its vitality.
At this time, the surviving Garrison Troops on the street began to call for reinforcements: "Quickly, need reinforcements! District 3, Jiangnan Road needs a large number of reinforcements! Suspected A-Class, or even unknown Demi-god, took researchers!"
Zheng Yuandong smiled and slowly walked towards District 4, the entire City 23 Garrison Troops being manipulated by him, disrupting the peace of the night.
This was also part of the plan; Qing Chen never thought they could quietly take people away.
Since quietly wasn't possible, then grab them openly!
