Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!-Chapter 238 - 96 I Need to Meet Him

They were all identical people...

The first thought that popped into Chen Jian’s mind was clones.

But clearly, 100 years after the cataclysm, it’s absolutely impossible for any organization, any power, to still have the ability to perform human cloning.

This is not a matter of technical difficulty.

In fact, from a purely medical and biological perspective, cloning technology is not unattainable.

However, the ultra-high level of coordination and management required for this technology has definitely surpassed the limits of the post-apocalyptic era.

In 011, there are plenty of machine tools where you can throw in materials and it’ll produce machines one after another.

And you want to clone humans?

What, you think you can just put a fertilized egg into a womb and produce clones like on an assembly line?

What a pipe dream!

Chen Jian knew full well how unrealistic this idea was, but if he were to judge what the Mimic Heretics actually were, he couldn’t provide a suitable answer.

Unexpectedly, the mystery of "Fu Xi" had already been solved, but the mysteries regarding the Mimic Heretics still hadn’t made much progress.

The only thing that could be called "key information" was their connection to the so-called "Beast Tide."

And in this regard, the importance of the Beast Tide itself far exceeds that of the Mimic Heretics...

Chen Jian let out a long breath, clearing his head of the slightly chaotic thoughts.

Then he spoke:

"You’re right about one thing, we definitely need to deepen our cooperation."

"Especially in terms of information sharing, it’s even more so."

"So... you’ve already been to Lu Zhou? What did you discover there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lizhi paused and didn’t immediately answer. Instead, he asked in return:

"Can we trade it for the information you discovered in the Jinling Ruins?"

"No."

Chen Jian shook his head decisively and then said:

"When I say sharing, I mean you share with us, not us with you."

"....Understood."

Wang Lizhi said with a wry smile:

"Actually, I already guessed this would be the answer."

"But it doesn’t matter, our ultimate goal is just to reach Mountain City and reboot the Circle."

"As long as you can help us in that regard, we can compromise on other issues."

"There’s nothing special in the Lu State Ruins, there are two Level 3 Monsters there. After bypassing them, we entered the underground treasury within the ruins."

"In the treasury, we found some well-preserved equipment, clearly of Level 1 control, and brought it back to Jinling City."

"Next, we’ll transport this equipment back to headquarters for safekeeping..."

"Hand it over to me."

Chen Jian stated:

"Didn’t you say that you would open Level 1 equipment authority to us? Then we’ll take this batch."

"....You can have it, but it must be done as a trade."

"You entered the Jinling Ruins, obviously activated the treasury, and might have even obtained clues related to Mountain City."

"You can use these clues to trade for this batch of Level 1 equipment, we..."

"No deal."

Chen Jian shook his head and said:

"This information is too important. Before the time is right, we can’t reveal it to anyone else."

"However, I can give you an options contract."

"As long as you buy in now, I can guarantee that in the future, when we enter Mountain City, you’ll have equal exploration rights with us."

"....How do you guarantee that?"

Wang Lizhi looked directly into Chen Jian’s eyes. It was obvious that he was already tempted by this "option."

"With our credibility."

Chen Jian clicked his tongue and then said:

"Don’t you get it? Our promise itself is valuable."

"Why would we choose to maintain a cooperative relationship with you?"

"Essentially, isn’t it because you’re relatively ’normal’ on this wasteland?"

"Your goal is nothing more than rebooting the Circle and saving this apocalypse."

"Even though we don’t know what the Circle is and your methods don’t seem very honorable, your priority is higher than both the Holy Blood Temple and the Mechanical God Sect."

"So you should also know that we don’t necessarily have to exclude you."

"Once you understand that, you should know that when you want to make progress, you shouldn’t negotiate with the organization...

".....Now, you truly have the qualification to negotiate with us in this manner."

Wang Lizhi laughed self-deprecatingly, then sighed and said:

"In just over three months, you’ve reached this point."

"You’ve even surpassed those Mimic Heretics."

"I accept your terms, I will consult with the leader and give you a final answer."

"But before that, I can make the decision myself to give you the goods we found in Lu Zhou."

"To be honest, we don’t really know what use those carefully preserved items have."

"But perhaps... you will know how they should be used."

"Pleasure doing business."

Chen Jian extended his hand to Wang Lizhi, who also offered his hand and solemnly said:

"Pleasure doing business."

....

After Wang Lizhi left, all nine core members of the Huaxia Army, including Huang Yu, gathered together.

Fu Xi had already provided a credibility assessment on all the information Wang Lizhi provided, reaching over 70%.

In fact, even without Fu Xi’s analysis, Chen Jian could basically tell that Wang Lizhi hadn’t lied to him about these matters.
