After Da Yuanyuan led the two away, the conference room returned to silence.
Zuo Feng was filled with emotion; sure enough, courting death was human nature.
Pan Yeluo attempted to control Slash Zombies, and even had successful cases, but were they truly successful?
Zuo Feng didn't think so, because those so-called "successes" were very likely just superficial.
But Zuo Feng couldn't say much, after all, he didn't have concrete evidence.
As for Jun Moce, he was trying to remove the zombie nature from Slash Zombies, extract their abilities, and create warriors similar to Super Individuals.
Zuo Feng slowly closed his eyes. He didn't intend to interfere too much with these two's suicidal actions.
Because he understood that what was truly frightening was not the experiment itself, but the greed in human nature that often led people astray, even to the point of ignoring potential disasters.
For the Super Individual slots this time, Pan Yeluo took one, and Jun Moce took two.
Of course, Jun Moce also paid a greater price: a mutated plant.
Zuo Feng opened his eyes. This matter was not yet concluded. On the surface, E City was controlled by the two Three Overlord Powers, Mo Wen Tian Ya and Jun Lin Tian Xia.
But Zuo Feng knew that Mo Wen Tian Ya was managed by three people. If Pan Yeluo became the sole Super Individual, it would inevitably cause an internal power imbalance, leading to the other two of Mo Wen Tian Ya being suppressed or even forced out.
Pan Yeluo was not to be trifled with; his Laboratory's deception of survivors for experiments was a clear example. Once he held great power, the survivors under Mo Wen Tian Ya would surely fall into hardship.
Therefore, Zuo Feng would not allow Pan Yeluo to dominate. Wen Wudao and Mo Tianya also had to become Super Individuals.
As for Jun Lin Tian Xia, Zuo Feng was not too worried. Jun Moce completely controlled Jun Lin Tian Xia, and his personality was relatively more rational; he wouldn't easily do anything out of control.
His two Super Individual slots were prepared for himself and for his son.
In this way, Jun Lin Tian Xia would have two nine-striped Super Individuals working together, while Mo Wen Tian Ya would have three Super Individuals with their own agendas.
The balance between the forces would not be easily broken.
Therefore, Wen Wudao and Mo Tianya had to get the Super Individual slots. Zuo Feng tapped his finger lightly on the table; he wouldn't do a losing business.
These two couldn't be unmoved by the Super Individual offer. The next step was how to make them willingly pay a sufficient price.
Zuo Feng's lips curled slightly, already having a plan in mind. It was simple: Pan Yeluo had already secured a Super Individual slot. As long as these two knew and witnessed the power of a Super Individual, they would certainly be unable to hold back.
That night, Wen Wudao and Mo Tianya, with grim expressions, stood outside Firefly, patiently waiting for an announcement.
The two of them had originally gone to H City to contact the Three Overlord Powers to discuss matters concerning the Void Land. Unexpectedly, the leaders of the Three Overlords were all at the edge of the Void Land, so they immediately rushed over. Only after arriving at Firefly did they learn with alarm about the transaction involving Super Individuals and A-level metal weapons.
The news that Pan Yeluo and Jun Moce had already secured Super Individual slots first was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads.
Wen Wudao and Mo Tianya looked terrible, their hearts filled with anxiety, fearing that they would be completely left behind.
They had no doubt that once Pan Yeluo became a Super Individual, the internal power structure of Mo Wen Tian Ya would immediately shift, and the two of them would very likely be completely ostracized and killed by Pan Yeluo.
Therefore, they had to get the Super Individual slots, as well as the trading rights for A-level metal weapons.
At this moment, Zuo Feng was chatting with the girls outside the bedroom. Upon learning of Wen Wudao and Mo Tianya's visit, Zuo Feng's lips curved into a meaningful smile.
He waved to Da Yuanyuan and said, "Come on, Da Yuanyuan, we have distinguished guests. Let's go meet them together."
Da Yuanyuan obediently got up and followed Zuo Feng to the reception room on the first floor. Not long after the two sat down in the reception room, a Xi Duo on patrol led Wen Wudao and Mo Tianya into the reception room. Their gazes swept over Zuo Feng and Da Yuanyuan, their expressions complex.
Zuo Feng smiled slightly, motioned for the two to sit down, and then instructed Xi Duo to serve hot tea.
Wen Wudao, unable to hold back, spoke directly, "Left Leader Zuo, let's be frank. You must know why we are here."
Zuo Feng gently blew on the hot surface of his tea, his gaze calm as he looked at Wen Wudao, "Of course I know your intentions; it's nothing more than the Super Individual and A-level metal weapon trading rights. However, gentlemen, haste makes waste. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Zuo Feng unhurriedly put down his teacup, his gaze sweeping across their faces. He naturally wouldn't tell them that his plan was for them to become Super Individuals and obtain the A-level metal weapon trading rights; this was a matter of life and death for them.
But for Zuo Feng, it was merely a transaction that he didn't want to affect the power structure of E City.
For these two, while he wouldn't demand an exorbitant price, he would certainly not give in easily. The two had to produce resources and bargaining chips equivalent to those of Jun Moce and Pan Yeluo to obtain the corresponding trading rights.
Wen Wudao's face was ashen, his hands on his knees unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the effort.
Mo Tianya, on the other hand, picked up his teacup and took a sip, seemingly composed, but the slightly trembling rim of the cup betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
The news that Pan Yeluo had already secured a slot was like a poisonous thorn in their hearts.
"Left Leader Zuo," Mo Tianya put down his teacup, his voice slightly steadier than Wen Wudao's, but the deliberately suppressed tension was even more apparent,
"Pan Yeluo and Jun Moce... have they already obtained Super Individual slots from you?"
Zuo Feng didn't respond directly, only the smile on his lips deepened slightly, his gaze calmly sweeping over the two.
"Deputy Leader Pan and Leader Jun have indeed expressed their willingness to cooperate, and they have offered corresponding sincerity."
He deliberately blurred the specific content of "sincerity," leaving ample room for imagination.
"Sincerity?" Wen Wudao's voice suddenly rose, carrying a trace of uncontrollable agitation,
"What sincerity? What did he give you?" He couldn't imagine what Pan Yeluo could offer to move Zuo Feng, nor could he accept the reality that he might be excluded.
Once Pan Yeluo successfully evolved, there would be no place for the two of them within Mo Wen Tian Ya, and their lives would even be at risk.
Zuo Feng's fingers began to tap rhythmically on the table again. The crisp "thump, thump" sound was exceptionally clear in the silent reception room, each tap seemingly landing on the heartstrings of Wen and Mo.
He enjoyed watching the anxiety and fear on their faces, which they tried hard to conceal but couldn't completely hide. This fear was his most powerful bargaining chip at the negotiating table.
"Leader Wen, please calm down."
Zuo Feng's voice remained steady, carrying a composure that indicated he was in control of the situation,
"Leader Pan Yeluo's 'sincerity' is naturally the result of an equivalent exchange.
As for the specifics... this involves the details of the agreement between Leader Pan and me, and I regret that I cannot elaborate."
He looked at the bulging veins on Wen Wudao's forehead and Mo Tianya's suddenly constricted pupils, then changed the subject,
"However, since you two are visiting late at night, I presume you also come with full sincerity, hoping to discuss the same transaction, am I right?"
Mo Tianya took a deep breath, trying to steady his mind:
"Left Leader Zuo, let's be frank. We are here indeed for the Super Individual slot and the A-level metal trading rights. Pan Yeluo... his obtaining the slot, you must know what it means for the two of us."
His voice deepened, carrying a nearly desperate heaviness,
"That will be the end for the two of us."
Leaving aside A-level metal weapons, just the terrifying power of a Super Individual was something they had experienced firsthand with Mao Wudi and the other two; it was a completely crushing difference in strength.
As long as Pan Yeluo became a Super Individual, they would be completely suppressed, utterly helpless, not to mention the added power of A-level metal weapons.
