The office door opened, and a Hafk flamethrower soldier walked in.
"Director, didn't you say before that you wanted to scout out the location on that hill where the press conference is being held? I've already taken everyone there for a look around."
Demoulan took a sip of water to clear his throat and said:
"Very good. Remember to check your equipment carefully. This press conference is very important. There can't be any accidents, understand? I will personally go there tomorrow. Tell the tank drivers to get everything ready, understand?"
"Yes! I'll go and tell them right now."
The flamethrower soldier, Hafk, quickly expressed his understanding. He was alone with Demulan, and the pressure was too great. By the time he left the office, his back and forehead were already sweating.
"Phew! The director's aura is really strong. Okay, back to work."
In his office, Demulan also gave his deployment map a final check. After confirming that it was correct, he transmitted it to Rometheus of Baksh through the Hafk security network. It should be noted that his Blue Eagle helicopter was also a very important combat force for this security operation.
"Well, I'm going there in person tomorrow with a sniper rifle. I wonder if there will be any unexpected changes."
Demulan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on as he thought about the current conflict between Asara and Hafk.
In her view, the Hafk Group came to Asara with good intentions. They not only helped them build Dam Zero, the largest water and electricity supply facility in the Asara region, but also maintained good relations with the previous royal family. Everything was developing in a positive direction.
However, after Yousef appeared, the Asara Guard was established here. It was from that time that the human experiments that were originally being carried out were said by these people to be the work of Hafk who killed all of them. Although he was not very clear about that matter, Demulan still took the time to ask Dr. Rometheus.
It's important to know that this volunteer program was approved by the former King Asara, and Rometheus also said that if better medical equipment could be developed during their treatment, it would be a huge step forward for the global medical industry.
As she pondered this, Demulan's head began to throb with pain. She was taking medication more and more frequently now. Fortunately, Rometheus had given her a large dose at once and told her that he would soon develop an even better, more effective drug and that once he developed a brain-computer interface with no side effects, he would be the first to have it fitted to her.
Thinking about how Rometheus told him that he would add an emotion module and upgrade the voice-generating device, his own Kami would be happy to see him like that.
After taking the painkillers, Demulan rested for a while before getting up again to handle his business.
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
Baksh, Tower of Babel.
Rometheus's assistant, Ella, was recording the experimental data on Rometheus's computer. Today, three more test subjects lost their lives due to rejection. The high-definition camera above their wards clearly recorded their painful growls and writhing before they gradually lost consciousness.
"The last brain of Subject 1 died, so this experiment failed again. Was the brain-computer interface too precise for their brains to handle?"
Ella glanced at the email and saw it was from Demulan. Although somewhat curious, she went to the lab and addressed Rometheus, who was still conducting experiments:
"Teacher, Ms. Demulan just sent you an email."
Rometheus stopped what he was doing. He was modifying a new type of brain-computer interface, and the reactions and data from the three test subjects had given him great inspiration.
"Leave it there, I'll go see it later. Also, ask Hamk to send me a few children with disabilities when he has time. I still have some children's models that I haven't tested, let's see if we can help them get better."
"Okay, Doctor."
Rometheus pushed up his glasses and, seeing that the laboratory door had closed, said softly:
"Zoya, I will make you understand that accepting investment does not mean I will become corrupt. My masterpiece will surely amaze the world!"
Chapter 98 Big Butt
(Thanks to the two characters summoned by Yaeten Night White Fox. I'll have to make up for this big update in a few days (?▽`???))
After finishing his work, Rometheus stood up, stretched, and walked out of the laboratory, looking slightly tired.
"Hey, look what Demulan sent me? There's so much to do every day, there's just not enough time."
Rometheus opened his emails, and a detailed strategic deployment map appeared on the computer screen.
"Huh? Oh dear, I almost forgot. I think the launch event for Mandel bricks is in a few days."
Rometheus slapped his forehead. He had been so engrossed in experiments to improve brain-computer interfaces that he had forgotten about this important matter. Fortunately, Demulan had already marked out the key locations where the Blue Eagle helicopters under his jurisdiction should be deployed.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. This will save me a lot of time. Ella, upload this blueprint to the Blue Eagle Squad's terminal. We can just take it out and use it later."
After Rometheus finished his work, he was exhausted and decided to go back and rest. The intense experiments he had been conducting for the past few days had left him feeling somewhat listless.
"Ha~ I'm tired. Ella, you watch over this place for me. I'm going back to rest for a while. Remember to report to me immediately if there's any news. You can handle the small things yourself."
After saying that, Rometheus took off his ever-present white lab coat and left the office.
"Oh dear, now that I'm done with this, I need to go find [Zero]. It's not good to keep wandering around outside without going home."
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
The "Zero" he mentioned is still unconscious. In the mental world, 9527 looked at the unconscious "Zero" and sighed somewhat embarrassedly.
"Oh, you've really worked hard. Seeing how dedicated you are, I'll put the body you want in the shop ahead of time. When you wake up, go find Xiao Hao yourself..."
"Speaking of which, it seems Xiao Hao has a bit too much going on. I'll secretly use his points to help him out... It's alright, it's a blessing in disguise, but his charm value is really low. Looks like I'll have to raise it in the next few days. Oh well, I'll just buy it for him directly. No need to thank me! = ̄ω ̄="
Meanwhile, in Roy's infirmary, Roy was hiding under the table with his backside sticking out, while behind him, a furious Zoya was being held tightly by Zhang Hao. The enraged Zoya shouted:
"Roy, you dare say that nickname you gave me again? Say it, I promise I won't kill you!"
Zhang Hao, who was holding Zoya from behind, advised:
"Oh, Zoya, don't get so angry. You know what Roy's mouth looks like. Besides, getting angry isn't good for your health; it'll cause wrinkles."
Actually, Zoya's anger had already subsided by half when Zhang Hao hugged her. Now, she only needed to turn her head slightly to smell Xiao Hao's scent. In addition, the fact that he said it would cause wrinkles made Zoya calm down a little.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Xiao Hao..."
"Damn it, what do you mean she got wrinkles because I made her angry? It's clearly because she's getting old and has wrinkles, okay?"
Roy, whose butt was still twitching, couldn't help but spit out his nasty words again. As soon as he said it, he regretted it. He was afraid he was going to die here today. Oh, that damn mouth! He's really ruined me.
Mouth: ...My brain wants me to say it.
Brain: ...Roy thought of it himself.
Roy: Oh dear, it's not that I couldn't help it. (* ̄3 ̄)╭
"Roy! You're great, you're excellent, you're wonderful!"
Zoya's barely suppressed anger came from behind, which startled Roy and Zhang Hao so much that they broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhang Hao: Wait a minute, why am I sweating?
"Phew! Calm down, Zoya, you need to calm down. Xiao Hao, can you do me a favor and call Red Wolf and Wei Long over here?"
Zoya suddenly took a deep breath, and then calmly asked Zhang Hao to call the two people over.
Although Zhang Hao was a little confused, he still obediently went to call for help. However, Roy, who was stuck in the crack of the table, suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Why...does my butt feel a little cold?"
A short while later, Zhang Hao brought Red Wolf and Wei Long to the infirmary. On the way, he briefly mentioned that Roy, in order to show off his cultural level, had given Zoya the nickname "Siberian Tiger" in front of her, and then the above-mentioned incident happened.
"Wow, this Roy is really brave, but why did he call us over here? Could it be...?"
Red Wolf and Dragon suddenly exchanged a glance, then said in unison:
"Is she trying to make an example of someone?"
After having this idea, the two of them began to feel uneasy.
"Sister Zoya, I've brought the person to you."
Zhang Hao pushed open the door and spoke to Zoya inside.
"Okay, Xiao Hao, you can go play somewhere else first. I have something to take care of here. What are you two doing standing at the door? Come in."
Seeing the two people standing silently trembling at the door, Zoya was puzzled. What's going on? They called you over to help and you're trembling like this? Are you scared?
After giving the two men a knowing look, Zhang Hao quietly left and considerately closed the door behind him.
"Zoya...why did you call us here?"
Wei Long asked tremblingly.
"Why are you shaking? I'm trying to calm myself down right now, so I can't just make a move. It would give Xiao Hao a bad impression. That's why I called you two over. See this wiggling butt? I'm going out for half an hour. During that time, this butt is yours. Just don't kill it. Oh, by the way, if you need sticks or anything, there are some in the cabinet upstairs. I won't disturb you any longer."
Zoya waved her hand, then pointed to a cabinet above and introduced the available torture instruments to the two people whose eyes were gradually brightening. After that, she took her water glass and went out. She was no violent woman; she was going to find Xiao Hao to play.
Hearing Zoya close the door, Roy's anus tightened, and he was about to crawl out from under the table when Red Wolf pressed him back down.
"Hey! What are you... what are you doing? Aren't we good brothers? Hey, hey, Wei Long, did you go find a stick? Ah! Help! I'm still an innocent man! Waaah, Xiao Hao! Come save me! Red Wolf, you've already messed with me before, how can you do this again?"
Red Wolf held Roy firmly, preventing him from coming out, and chuckled:
"Yeah, it's because I messed with you once before, so it's not my turn to do it this time, right, Dragon?"
"Yeah, hey Roy, do you know where I'm from? Don't worry, it'll only hurt a little at first, but I guarantee you'll feel amazing later."
Wei Long chuckled and threatened, reminding him that Roy used to joke around with him online all the time, and that he was a straight man, okay? But now...
"Dragon, stop talking nonsense, we only have half an hour, let's go!"
"Oh, then you'll have to bear with it, I'm about to begin!"
Roy: Ah! Yay! Oh!!! (;???Д??`)
Chapter 99 The Installation Turmoil 1
Without bothering to see what had happened in the infirmary, Zhang Hao returned to his room and looked at the computer parts he had asked Shenlan for last month.
At this moment, the monitor, computer components, and other equipment were neatly piled on the table. Speaking of which, when Zhang Hao asked Sai Yide to play before, he also mentioned wanting a computer. At that time, Sai Yide almost disassembled the only two graphics cards in the entire dam to give to Zhang Hao.
Fortunately, it wasn't taken over by Reis and his gang this time. Otherwise, if our Xiao Hao had cried and begged everyone at the Special Operations Department, Reis's lair would probably have been attacked by the Special Operations Department that very night.
"Hmm~ It's been a long time since I've built a computer, I don't know if I still remember."
After taking the accessories out of the packaging box, Zhang Hao sat down at the table, facing a dilemma.
"Oh no, how did I do that again? I think I've completely forgotten?"
After installing the CPU, RAM, and hard drive, Zhang Hao was stuck. He had always followed online tutorials step by step in his previous life, but now the tutorials were nowhere to be found. This left Zhang Hao completely dumbfounded.
"Xiao Hao, I'm here... Hey? Are you setting up a computer?"
Just then, Zoya, who had been searching for Zhang Hao downstairs without success, pushed open Zhang Hao's door and saw him staring blankly at the parts in front of him.
"Oh, it's alright, Xiao Hao, just watch. Your sister Zoya once built an electric guitar by herself, so this little computer is nothing to her."
Zoya confidently declared that she would handle it, and then, under Zhang Hao's admiring gaze, she began to perform her dazzling maneuvers.
Ten minutes later...
Zhang Hao and Zoya sat on the bed, staring blankly at the mess of parts in front of them.
"No, what kind of computer is this? It's different from the one I used before."
Zoya awkwardly scratched her head. Damn it, she was so embarrassed. She hadn't expected this computer to be so difficult to install. Come to think of it, even if she had never installed one before, couldn't she just insert whatever looked like it would work?
"Hey, Sister Zoya, why don't you call Sister Xiaowen over?"
Looking at the pile of parts in front of them, which they didn't know where to start, Zhang Hao made a suggestion.
"Xiao Hao, what... what are you doing?"
As they were talking, Luna suddenly opened the door and saw her nemesis No. 1 and her beloved Xiao Hao sitting on the bed. She was thinking about whether to take the initiative to question Zoya, but when she saw that the two of them were staring blankly at the computer parts in front of them.
"Zoya, you... Pfft, hahaha, you don't know how to install a computer, do you? Hahaha, oh dear, it seems you're not good at it either. Xiao Hao can't even play on the computer now, hahaha."
Luna immediately turned on Zoya, using the same "ruthless taunt" that Mai Xiaowen had used countless times to break her defenses.
Luna had expected Zoya to become enraged and start arguing back. She was already envisioning how to defeat Zoya with a splendid verbal battle, then, under Xiao Hao's affectionate gaze, set up his computer, and then that night she could... well, you know...
Zoya looked speechlessly at Luna, who was already engrossed in her own self-entertainment. Suddenly, she remembered what Shenlan had told her before: most men don't like strong and violent women, and that she should learn to be gentle and to act coquettishly towards men.
Zoya turned her head and snuggled into Zhang Hao's arms.
"Waaaaah, is Sister Xiaohao really useless? She can't even install a computer properly, sob sob sob."
Although Zhang Hao got goosebumps seeing this, he quickly comforted him:
"How could that be, Sister Zoya? Your strengths might not lie in this area. Look at your music, you're very good, and you're also good in the medical field. Nobody is perfect."
Luna, having finished her self-congratulatory spree: Pshaw, what's going on? She didn't fall for it and even turned the tables on me. That's impossible.
"Ahem, Xiao Hao, come here, let me help you pack it. Come a little closer, Xiao Hao, I have a request."
"Sister Luna, you say it."
"Hehe, even if I set it up for you later, how about you sleep with me tonight? (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭~"
