Mao Wudi, Zuo Feng, and Tie Zhenshan exchanged glances, their expressions turning solemn.
Finally, Mao Wudi slowly spoke, "Our plan is for the three of us to personally lead a team with the top combat power capable of lighting seven lotus seeds. We will strike directly, completely eradicating the Three Giants of Dream City and their core forces.
As for ordinary survivors, we will not slaughter them indiscriminately, but if new forces are found to be recreating pathogens later, we may resort to more extreme measures, even considering the use of nuclear weapons to completely destroy the entire Dream City.
After all, the harm of Slash Zombie is too great; compared to the safety of all humanity, we don't mind being the bad guys for once."
Zuo Feng's heart trembled slightly; the Three Overlord Powers actually possessed nuclear weapons!
However, what Mao Wudi said was not without reason.
Zuo Feng pondered for a moment, then slowly said,
"I understand your intentions. This is an internal conflict of H City, and we, Firefly, will not intervene.
However, I hope the three of you will take this matter seriously and try to avoid large-scale civilian casualties.
Additionally, there's one more thing: Mei Xue Ji, the leader of the Luo Xia Alliance, has already joined us. Although she has completely left the Luo Xia Alliance, I hope the three of you will be gentler in your methods when dealing with the Luo Xia Alliance."
Rou Moyu, Mao Wudi, and Tie Zhenshan all nodded immediately after hearing Zuo Feng's words, indicating no problem.
They originally did not want to implicate the innocent; their objective for this operation was clear, targeting only the core forces of Dream City.
Moreover, Zuo Feng did not stop them from dealing with the Luo Xia Alliance, only hoping that their methods would be gentler when dealing with the Luo Xia Alliance, which already showed Zuo Feng's attitude.
The three looked at each other, already having a plan in mind.
Seeing that the three understood his meaning, Zuo Feng nodded slightly, then added,
"There's one thing I must remind the three of you: keep the commotion small. Absolutely do not attract the Seven-Bar Mutants from the central area."
The Seven-Bar Mutants can be said to be the current world's forbidden existence. Even if Mao Wudi's three men possess strength comparable to Nine-Bar Zombie, if they were to truly attract the Seven-Bar Mutants, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zuo Feng was also unsure if the three knew about the existence of the Seven-Bar Mutants in the central area, but he was still willing to remind them of this point.
Upon hearing this, their expressions turned grave, and Tie Zhenshan said in a deep voice,
"We have long heard of the existence of the Seven-Bar Mutants. In fact, it is one of the main reasons why the three of us have not used nuclear weapons to pacify Dream City."
From Tie Zhenshan's words, Zuo Feng already knew that all three were aware of the Mutants' existence. Since they knew, Zuo Feng said no more, as further words would be useless.
"In that case,"
Zuo Feng stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone,
"Let's conclude today's discussion here. I wish you all a successful operation."
The leaders also rose one after another, preparing to have their confidants and Shui Rou handle the handover.
Rou Moyu, Lu Zhuoyan, Luo Tianyu, and others signaled to Shui Rou, then prepared to leave the conference room.
Actually, Zuo Feng especially wanted to know how powerful Mao Wudi and the other four became after becoming Super Individuals; he wanted to test them, but now was clearly not the time to ask.
All five of them were leaders of their respective forces. Professor Yan had already gone too far by shamelessly and persistently extracting blood samples from the five for research.
Zuo Feng could still attribute that to Professor Yan's personal actions, but it was indeed not appropriate to continue treating the five as guinea pigs for research, especially if Zuo Feng were to propose it.
At this moment, only Zuo Feng remained in the conference room. With nothing to do, Zuo Feng was about to find one of Firefly's girls to play with when his body suddenly trembled slightly; he felt the psionic energy within him fluctuate violently.
His pupils suddenly constricted, and his heart pounded like a drum. He was about to light the third lotus seed!
Zuo Feng suppressed the surging energy within him, stood still, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing.
He was only lighting the third lotus seed, and there was no earth-shattering phenomenon, but for him, this was a crucial breakthrough.
The lotus pedestal slowly rotated deep within his consciousness. The third lotus seed was filled with purple light, which seeped into the entire lotus seed like a fine stream. As the last wisp of light integrated, the lotus seed suddenly burst forth with brilliant radiance.
Zuo Feng's spirit was invigorated, and the psionic energy within him surged like rivers flowing into the sea. A sense of unprecedented power spread through his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, which sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
Without further hesitation, he quickly ran to the Second Floor, outside the bedroom. He wanted to verify if the Mutants he had subdued, who were all stuck one step away from four bars, would also advance with his breakthrough.
However, the Mutants had all been taken out by the girls to search for the pathogens that Wan Youyu had placed near Firefly and were about to erupt. Now, only the sleeping companion beasts were left in the base.
Fortunately, the strength of the companion beasts was synchronized with the Mutants, so he could tell if they had evolved by observing them.
Zuo Feng arrived on the Second Floor, and before he could open the door, he heard a series of "squeaks" from inside, with a hint of excitement in the squeaks.
Without opening the door, Zuo Feng knew that the little beasts must have broken through to four bars; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to wake up at this exact moment. They must have awakened early, using the opportunity of breaking through to four bars.
He gently pushed open the door. Outside the bedroom, on the little beasts' rocking beds, the little beasts were blinking their nimble eyes, excitedly chirping at Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng slowly approached and looked down. As expected, the fourth bar was fully formed on the forehead of each little beast. In Ying Xingxing and Ying Yueyue's crimson eyes, the fourth ring pattern was also completely closed. Zuo Feng's lips curved slightly, and a wave of joy surged in his heart.
Iron HanHan and Iron BenBen, the two little beasts, naturally did not sleep because they had not fought. They were taken by Bai Duanqian and Da Yuanyuan to produce a-grade metal.
Although they were not present, Zuo Feng was certain that they too had reached the realm of four bars.
As for Silk Jingjing and Silk Yingying, the two Seven-Bar overlords, they remained in slumber as they had not broken through.
Zuo Feng gently stroked the heads of the little beasts, feeling the surging energy fluctuations within them, his heart filled with joy. He couldn't even imagine how terrifying four-bar companion beasts would be.
Just then, Hotuntun and Hotuntun suddenly each spat out two glazed Pigeon eggs. The surfaces of the four glazed Pigeon eggs glowed with strange patterns, and glazed flames flowed within the Pigeon eggs like surging magma.
Zuo Feng's pupils constricted slightly. The Black Fire's Fire Essence Crystal was already terrifying enough; how terrifying would these glazed Fire Essence Crystals be, especially with the added patterns on their surfaces?
But that wasn't all. While Zuo Feng was dumbfounded, the other little beasts each spat out two more Pigeon eggs. All the Pigeon eggs had patterns corresponding to their respective attributes flowing on their surfaces.
Zuo Feng stared blankly at the scene before him, a massive wave crashing in his heart.
He could barely believe his eyes; these companion beasts had actually produced Pigeon eggs with attribute patterns while breaking through to four bars.
"Professor Yan, have Xiao Yu come to the Second Floor immediately. The little guys are awake, and they've produced Pigeon eggs with patterns!"
Zuo Feng's voice transmitted through the communicator to Professor Yan's Laboratory on the fifth floor of the base. Professor Yan, who was focused on recording data, immediately put down his notebook upon hearing Zuo Feng's call and quickly walked to the communicator, his brows slightly furrowed:
"Pigeon eggs with patterns? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
His tone carried a hint of shock and doubt. Mutants and Pigeon eggs were also among his research projects. He had studied previous Pigeon eggs, but now, Pigeon eggs with attribute patterns had appeared, which was simply unprecedented.
"I'm sure."
Zuo Feng's voice was filled with unconcealed excitement. Professor Yan pondered for a moment, then pressed the communication button:
"I'll bring Xiao Yu over immediately. Don't move anything yet; wait for us to arrive."
Professor Yan's voice was filled with unconcealed excitement. He deeply understood the value of Pigeon eggs, and the value of those with patterns was immeasurable.
Professor Yan's mind was already racing, considering the scientific breakthroughs these Pigeon eggs might bring. He hadn't expected to have just created a walking Nine-Bar Zombie, and before he could thoroughly research it, another big surprise arrived!
Zuo Feng hung up the communicator and gently rubbed his brow. He could stay still, but these little guys wouldn't be quiet. Immediately after producing the Pigeon eggs, a group of little beasts began jumping, rolling, and playing in the room.
Zuo Feng quickly reached out to stop them, but then decided to let them be. After all, this was their nature, and forcefully suppressing them would only be counterproductive. He simply stepped aside and quietly observed these energetic little ones.
