Mechanical Flesh

five days later.

A man in a white shirt and black dress with a white handkerchief flower on his chest walked through the wilderness and stood at the door of the Black Steel Shelter.

The man raised his left hand, glanced at the watch on his right, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It turned out to be half an hour earlier."

The man patted the dust on the corner of his clothes, and waited at the door for about half a minute, when a sound of hurried footsteps came from the black steel shelter.

Soon, a grand guard of honor filed out from the gate.

Later, Chief Molin, as the representative of the board of directors, led several fourth-level researchers to welcome him out.

"Ming Ming, long time no see!"

Maureen walked up and shook hands with the person who came.

Mo Lin and Mingming did not meet many times, but they left a deep impression on them. The first meeting between the two was at a project seminar of the Gate of Truth. Security of all attendees.

Being able to travel through thousands of miles of wilderness alone under the blockade of the mechanical royal court, only a high-ranking powerhouse like Ming Ming who stands at the pinnacle of strength can do it.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, but Chief Mo is still so energetic."

Mingming smiled, the chief of a laboratory is also an important figure, not to mention, Mo Lin is also a member of the board of directors.

"I'm already old, and in a few years, I will go to the headquarters to retire." Mo Lin sighed.

"You have come from afar, this time you will stay in the Black Steel Shelter for a few days, let me do my best as a landlord."

Mingming glanced at the researchers behind Mo Lin, only five fourth-level researchers including Tan Qiu, Feng Qian, and He Shou were on the list, and they didn't see the protagonist Qi Yuan, so he vaguely guessed something, but he remembered the name of the master. However, he didn't make the matter clear in public.

"This time I came to the Black Steel Shelter. First, I came to see you, an old friend. Second, I heard that Commissioner Cao was injured. The master asked me to send me a "source of life". The latest issue of "Truth" and the leader's medal that have been vacant for five years!, because of the blockade of the mechanical royal court, this time the awards will be presented by me instead of the grandmaster in the Black Steel Shelter." Ming Ming said.

Although there have been speculations about the awarding of the Leader Medal, guesses are just guesses after all. Now that Mingming himself said the answer, it is still like a hurricane, sweeping towards the entire Black Steel Shelter in an instant.

Feng Gan, who had always maintained a calm expression, could no longer hide his inner excitement, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Tan Qiu noticed Feng Gan's expression, and also laughed, more recklessly, more brilliantly than Feng Gan.

The rest of the fourth-level researchers also leaked smiles. The leader's medal, which had been vacant for five years, fell on the Biological and Mechanical Research Laboratory. Even if it didn't fall on them, they also felt honored.

Just this leader medal is enough to make up for the impact of the previous explosion.

Against the backdrop of everyone's smiles, only Researcher He Shou, who was forced to open his business, looked extremely embarrassed. He didn't want to come, but was called by the chief, so he had to come, and he couldn't laugh.

But in this case, I have to laugh again.

In the end, he could barely squeeze out a very stiff smile, which looked uglier than crying.

Among the crowd of onlookers, researchers from Fengqian Laboratory had already surrounded them, and they made no secret of their excitement and pride.

Their interests and future have already been tied to Fengqian, and now that Fengqian is taking off, they will naturally benefit from it.

The eyes of several ability users who were secretly in charge of security guards were also full of shock and a hint of desire.

What they long for is of course not the leader's medal. This highest award in the energy field is a supreme honor for researchers, but for them, this honor is not as important as the badge itself. Energy creations that are more powerful than alienated energy weapons can greatly enhance one's own strength.

What really envied them was the "source of life" potion that Ming Ming said. This is a powerful and magical potion developed by the Grandmaster of the Gate of Truth. It has the ability to prolong life, strengthen the body, and restore injuries. and other powerful functions, but the most desirable thing is that it can temporarily awaken the power of the apocalypse.

For a sixth-level ability user, the short-term awakening of the power of the apocalypse means that he can see in advance the path he will take in the future. For the promotion to the seventh level in the future, the benefits of truly awakening the power of the apocalypse are self-evident.

Back then, the Grandmaster used this potion to win the Creator Medal of the Flesh and Blood Alliance in one fell swoop.

"The source of life" is the potion that every sixth-level glory ability user dreams of!

Although, the production of "Source of Life" requires a lot of precious materials in red or even black areas, as well as the core of high-level insects and beasts, and the output is extremely low. Only the laboratories of the Gate of Truth, Armament of Doom, and the headquarters of the Flesh and Blood Alliance are capable of producing it. But this doesn't stop capable users from yearning for the "source of life".

Because it symbolizes the apocalypse!

Although some people doubt the effect of the "source of life" potion, according to statistics, since the advent of the "source of life" potion, the number of people who have awakened the power of the apocalypse has increased significantly, and those doubters have gradually closed his mouth.

Ranked by the strength of the Black Steel Shelter, there is only a quota of one "source of life" potion each year, but now the Grandmaster of the Gate of Truth has sent someone to send one to Commissioner Cao himself.

In the eyes of these ability users, Cao Yansheng, who only has fifth-level strength and does not have much frontal combat ability, using the "source of life" to recover from injuries is completely reckless. If this potion is given to other sixth-level ability users, although it may not be possible It can create an apocalyptic powerhouse, but even if there is only one more hope, it is better than simply using it to recover from injuries.

However, greedy eyes, they also know that this "source of life" potion, no matter what, it is impossible to fall on themselves, just like the annual quota of the Black Steel Shelter, except for a very small number of people, no one has ever known Whose hands did these potions fall into in the end.

Accompanied by Mo Lin, Mingming first went to the laboratory to condolence to Cao Yansheng who was still recuperating, delivered the "source of life" potion to him, and then went to the hall of the board of directors with the two chiefs.

The rest of the people were all waiting outside the board hall.

Of course, not many people are qualified to wait outside. Except for a few fourth-level researchers, only a dozen third-level researchers have come here, and then there are a few security guards.

According to the practice of other sanctuaries, since the leader medal is awarded in the sanctuary, it will naturally be selected in the hall of the board of directors, which symbolizes the highest power, but the process is different.

Sometimes, many bystanders are allowed to participate in the process of awarding the medals, but sometimes, only a few people are present.

Experimental research is always lonely. For many researchers who are used to loneliness, they will not even marry or have children. When awarding awards, they also do not want to be surrounded by too many people. Every time an award is presented, they will fully consider accepting the award the will of the recipient.

In the hall of the board of directors, with the theme of red and black, it looks solemn and solemn. A long table surrounded by eleven high-back chairs stands quietly in the center of the hall.

After Mingming and Mo Lin walked into the hall, the soft lights shone down, making the whole hall neither very bright nor too dim.

Ming Ming handed the latest copy of "Truth" to Mo Lin, and said slowly:

"In order to determine the ownership of this leader's medal, the Grandmaster and several review committee members conducted a special vote. Although I was also surprised by the result, I think that the Grandmaster and the others must have their own reasons for doing so."

Mo Lin nodded slightly. There was a golden Leader Medal logo on the page of "Truth", which meant that one of the papers in it had won the Leader Medal.

He had already heard about the recent rumors, but Cao Yansheng and Tan Qiu also secretly revealed Qi Yuan's thesis.

As for the ownership of the medal this time, Mo Lin is also a little confused, but to him, it is the same whether the winner is Qi Yuan or Feng Qian, both of whom are researchers in the laboratory.

Mo Lin opened the pages of the book and looked around the table of contents. The two papers in the front belonged to Qi Yuan and Feng Gan respectively. This is the affirmation of the two in "Truth". The paper with the most weight will always be in the front .

However, the biggest difference between the two papers is not the first and second, but the name of Qi Yuan's paper is golden, and behind the paper, there is a mark of a leader's medal.

Mo Lin didn't read the contents of the two papers carefully, but just glanced at the titles of the papers, and then slowly closed the "Truth" in his hand.

"Today, it's less than half a year since Qi Yuan stepped into the Black Steel Shelter. Unexpectedly, he brought such a surprise to the laboratory!" Mo Lin sighed.

As the chief, Mo Lin himself has never been involved in the three awards. Although there are reasons for too much energy being involved in the management of the laboratory and the daily affairs of the board of directors, it is enough to prove the difficulty of these awards.

"All frontline fighters will thank Qi Yuan for his contribution. He saved the lives of many soldiers!" Mingming said.

"The leader's medal, I have already brought it here, how about awarding the medal to Qi Yuan first?"

Maureen nodded.

"I'll send someone to notify Qi Yuan immediately. As for the others, don't let them in."

Mingming nodded to express his understanding. Feng Qian probably already regarded this Leader Medal as his possession. If he was allowed to come and witness the awarding of the medal to Qi Yuan, he might lose his composure and do something crazy.

"Grandmaster asked me to ask, have you encountered any difficulties in the progress of that project in the laboratory?" Ming Ming asked in a low voice.

"Grandmaster, rest assured, with this bottle of "source of life", Yan Sheng's injury will recover soon, and the progress of the project will not be affected in any way!" Mo Lin said.

"If this project is successful, our high-level combat power will be able to fight against the high-level mechanical apostles of the Mechanical Royal Court. Coupled with Qi Yuan's annihilation weapon, our frontal battlefield should be enough to defeat the Mechanical Royal Court!"

"I hope so!" said Maureen.

"If we hadn't been restrained by the mechanical king's court, our exploration of the wilderness would not have been so slow. I hope that in our lifetime, we can see the mechanical king's court defeated."

As a member of the board of directors and chief of the laboratory of Black Steel Shelter, Morin has used the "source of life" potion early on. He has tried all the methods that can prolong the life of the body. If he wants to prolong his life, he can only Trying to upload consciousness to the mechanical body.

But as a non-mechanic, the success rate of successfully uploading consciousness to the mechanical body is not high, and Molin himself does not accept the kind of eternal life that gives up the body.

While the two were chatting, Feng Gan, who was waiting outside, suddenly felt a little uneasy. As an ability user of the glory rank, he could already vaguely perceive something, just like the ability of the mysterious domain .

This feeling is not that his life is threatened, or that there is danger coming, but that something bad is about to happen, as if someone has targeted him. This vague feeling makes Feng Gan feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Now, I am about to live to receive the Leader Medal, and then I will take over the position of the next chief, enter the board of directors, and become one of the most powerful personnel in the Black Steel Shelter. Who else can stop me? Why is there such a thing? Bad feeling!

Feng Gan glanced at He Shou who was standing beside him, his face was gloomy, as if dripping water, it was the despair of failure.

But Tan Qiu on the other side was a little confusing. Instead of showing any despair, Tan Qiufei had a smile on his face, as if something to be happy about had happened.

Will Tan Qiu be happy because he won the Leader Medal?

Of course she won't!

So why is she smiling?

At this moment, footsteps came from behind him. Feng Qian subconsciously turned his head to take a look, but saw a familiar face.

Qi Yuan!

How could he come here!

Thoughts flashed through Feng Gan's mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility that he had thought of occasionally, but quickly denied.

impossible!

This is impossible!

Feng Gan kept comforting himself in his heart.

Perhaps feeling Feng Gan's gaze, Qi Yuan turned his head and looked at Feng Gan, casting a gentle gaze.

Thank you for the method of breeding the tree of oblivion!

Qi Yuan thanked Feng Gan with his eyes!

Although Qi Yuan didn't say it out loud, the uncomfortable feeling in Feng Gan's heart became more and more intense.

Afterwards, Feng Gan saw Qi Yuan walking beside Tan Qiu.

"Congratulations!" Tan Qiu said.

Qi Yuan came here at this time, of course it couldn't be to witness Feng Qian receiving the award, he must have been notified by the chief to come to receive the award himself.

Qi Yuan smiled slightly, but didn't say much.

Feng Gan next to him froze, what does Tan Qiu mean?

Afterwards, Feng Gan saw Qi Yuan pass several people and continue walking forward.

Going forward is the gate of the board hall!

The two guards standing in front of the hall of the board of directors seemed to have received an order in advance. Instead of blocking Qi Yuan's progress, they took the initiative to help him open the heavy door and made a gesture for Qi Yuan to come in.

Seeing Qi Yuan's back disappear behind the gate, but no one informed him to enter, Feng Gan's face suddenly turned pale.

"How could this be...how could this be..."

Feng Gan muttered to himself with empty eyes, he never thought that he would lose to Qi Yuan again, and it was in the competition for the leader's medal.

Next to him, He Shou, whose face was as sinking as water, slowly regained his composure.

Feng Gan didn't enter the hall of the board of directors, but let Qi Yuan in!

So, it was Qi Yuan who won this leader's medal?

Although He Shou felt that this conclusion was extremely absurd, everything in front of him was telling him that this was the truth.

He Shou glanced at Feng Gan's empty and desperate expression, the gloom was swept away in his heart, and he suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud.

Feng Qian turned over at the most critical moment, and it fell into Qi Yuan's hands!

I really should thank Qi Yuan well. After this failure, Feng Qian is not only not closer to the chief position, but even further away!

I still have a chance!
