Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

Chapter 600 586. Chairman Lu

Lu Lincheng sat in the dark conference room. The conference table in front of him was empty, but the gilded ancient Greek numbers on the tabletops facing each high-backed solid wood chair were lit with dim lights, which meant that all the committee members were present at the meeting. Since their party separated from the Secret Party, there were very few meetings like this that could bring all the committee members together, except for the annual routine parliament.

Another man was sitting at the end of the long table. Compared with Lu Lincheng, he looked older, but equally handsome. It was obvious that he was a big shot whose words were law when he was young.

If Lu Mingfei was here, he would recognize him. This guy has a face exactly like Alexander Bunin.

Bunin folded his hands on the table, pursed his lips, and his face was as hard as a statue.

"Alexander Bunin, we have heard your testimony. Even if Verkhoyansk hides the secret of the Glorious Banner, this is not a reason for you to bypass the committee and issue an extermination order to wipe the city off the map." The digital module of No. 7 on the conference table lit up. "This is an extremely evil, anti-human and anti-social war crime. Before we put an end to this crime, you have killed more than 800 Russians living in the Arctic Circle and had a medium-intensity direct conflict with the army, increasing the possibility of the safe haven being exposed to 31.8%. For this, the committee will have to pay more than 3 billion US dollars to deal with the aftermath."

"I will transfer 5 billion US dollars from my personal account in the Zurich Bank to the committee's fund as compensation for this incident and for post-disaster relief and expansion of various shelters." Bunin originally hid his face in the darkness, but now he leaned forward and his eyes were exposed.

Those were a pair of golden eyes that looked like those of a dead person and were covered with gloom. The fire in the golden pupils was completely suppressed by the pale cataract, but it still seeped out from the edges of the eye slits.

All digital modules were turned off at the same time. Given that similar meetings were not conducted offline, the participating committee members were able to discuss with each other through other means during the meeting without worrying about breaking the rules.

A moment later a woman's voice sounded.

"This is not a matter of funds. I think you should know..."

"Then let's vote. Twelve commissioners from a total of twelve shelters from the Safe Haven to Gaia's Residence. I recommend sentencing Alexander Bunin for crimes against humanity. In view of the fact that Ragnarok is approaching, all humans who have not entered the shelter after the apocalypse will be destroyed by the flood of the new era. He should be fined $8 billion and sentenced to 100 years in prison." The digital module of No. 1 flashed.

"pass."

"pass."

"pass."

“…”

From No. 1 to No. 11, every committee member expressed support for the resolution, until Lu Lincheng, who wore the No. 12 logo on his chest, the meeting room fell into silence.

"Chairman Lu, do you have any different opinions?"

"No, I agree with your verdict." Lu Lincheng pushed his glasses, and the face of the middle-aged man who looked quite gentle twitched, revealing a smile.

"I just wondered, if we finally made this decision, why not just eradicate Verkhoinsk?"

"We have the best hypnotist, we just need to..."

"Hypnosis is by no means a foolproof option. Until now, we still haven't figured out the functions of the various structures of the human brain. As long as memory is still hidden in a person's subconscious, it may always be activated again by some unexpected situation." Lu Lincheng crossed his fingers, his graying hair making him look inexplicably vicissitudes of life, and there was a kind of cunning that came with the precipitation of time, like a wolf that has lived for thousands of years and turned into a demon.

"The data left in the census at the end of 2010 showed that Verkhoyansk still had a permanent population of 1,309 people... The law enforcement team directly under the committee stopped Alexander Bunin from executing the extermination order on Verkhoyansk, which eventually led to more than 500 people being forced to evacuate from the Arctic Circle. Even if the failure rate of the hypnosis is 1 to 100, at least five people will reawaken the memory of the massacre in Verkhoyansk after a certain period of time... We claim to have obtained half of the resources and technology from the secret party, but there are still more secrets that we have not inherited, such as the alchemical matrix that can directly distort the world's cognition from the cause and effect. The school board can even force the cognition of ordinary humans worldwide to distort the Tokyo incident from a human attack to a natural disaster. It is simply a fantasy for us to want to do such a thing."

The conference room was as silent as death. Bunin raised his hands from the table. His forearms were extremely long, like spider limbs. The muscle tissue attached to the bones was dried and shriveled, and the skin on the muscles was completely wrinkled like leather.

It was a really weird scene. This guy seemed to have completely lost his human identity. He could not be called a human. He looked more like a monster that had never appeared in the world. In the dim light, Bunin's carotid artery exposed to the air looked like a throbbing green snake.

He covered his mouth and put on an exaggerated smile without making a sound. He looked towards Lu Lincheng, his golden eyes, which were covered with pale shadows, and flames of greed and sarcasm were jumping in them.

"What are you going to do? Detain all those people in the safe haven? But Chairman Lu, your shelter was built after rigorous calculations. Any species outside of the unique ecosystem that enters it may cause the ecosystem to collapse." No. 4 said coldly, "Or are you going to kill them?"

"In fact, the hunting team set out twelve hours ago." Lu Lincheng said lightly. It was hard to imagine that such a middle-aged man would have such a calm expression on his face when talking about an important event concerning the lives of 500 people. If Lu Mingfei was sitting here, he would definitely pull out the Desert Eagle and point it at Lu Lincheng's forehead to ask him who he was and where the real Lu Lincheng had gone.

Where was the man who worked at the botanical gardens, who would pick a rose from the flowerbed for his wife, who would buy a steamed guinea fowl on his way home to share with his son?

"Do you know what you are doing?" No. 6 said in a voice that was almost roaring. He was an old man, sounding at least a hundred years old, and his anger was vented in an instant.

Lu Lincheng knocked on the table with his knuckles.

"My dear Eugenio, this is not your Vatican. Religious beliefs cannot save humanity. When Ragnarok comes, even God will fall. What we are facing is the survival of our race. For this goal, everyone can be sacrificed." He chuckled and said, "Including you and me."

No. 6 was silent for a moment, and then he said, "You shouldn't have revealed my true identity."

"Damn it, do you think the committee is surfing the Internet? Everyone here uses real names, okay? I really don't understand why we need to use a digital module to replace you. Can't we tell through these numbers whether the person sitting behind the screen is an old guy with all his teeth fallen out or a scantily clad woman?" Lu Lincheng sneered.

"Please watch your words! Chairman Lu!" More digital modules lit up, and the meeting room, which had been silent and polite just a moment ago, suddenly became noisy, as if it was the vegetable market next to the small old house where Lu Mingfei used to live.

Those people in power in the dark world who controlled the lives of thousands and tens of thousands of people suddenly started quarreling with each other like fierce women swearing at each other on the street.

Lu Lincheng took out a cigarette from somewhere, tapped it on the corner of the table, lit it and put it in his mouth, then sat down, leaned back, and looked at the ceiling with a mural of Nidhogg flying from the abyss. His eyes became deep. His face was full of indifference, as if it was not him who started this dispute, but just someone here.

Alexander Bunin, who was at the end of the long table, lowered his arthropod-like arms. He looked at Lu Lincheng and grinned with a weird smile.

A few seconds later he disappeared from the long table, not by moving away, but by sliding under the table into some underground space.

At this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly rang throughout the safe haven, and crimson warning lights flashed in every corner of the conference room.

Lu Lincheng sat up straight in surprise, looking around blankly, and the quarreling among the participants at the meeting also died down at this moment.

As the founder and supreme leader of Haven, he was all too familiar with this kind of alarm, which meant an invasion.

"Let's end the meeting here. Our hunting team has set out 12 hours ago. If you want to stop them, you have to invent a time machine." Lu Lincheng crushed the flame of his cigarette on the table fiercely. He took a puff of the cigarette next to him and stood up abruptly.

Number 1's digital module flickered. "I heard the alarm. Is the safe haven under attack? But who in this world can invade the Nibelungen? Even the smoothbore gun of the T95 tank can't tear apart the storm surrounding that space, right?"

"That's true in terms of rules, but there are a few exceptions. Some unique words can easily help the user enter the Land of the Dead. In addition, some pure-blooded dragons with extremely high crowns can directly order the Nibelungen to open up to them." Lu Lincheng said, "I guess you all have a deep impression of Chen Motong, right?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"she is……"

"Besides her, the Chen family has another special guy, Chen Motong's younger brother. He joined the secret party a few years ago and was able to activate the bloodline in his body and possess his own Word Spirit. But it was from that day that his body began to degenerate and gradually evolved into a baby. His Word Spirit is a key that can open any door within the rules of the world, even the Bronze City of the King of Bronze and Fire." Lu Lincheng interrupted what a certain committee member wanted to say, speaking at a rapid speed.

"Let's end the meeting here. The decision on Verkhoyansk has been made... Next, the safe haven will face its first invasion crisis since its establishment. Everyone, please wait for our good news."

——Even when riding in the hovercraft, Lu Mingfei could hear the barking of dogs everywhere. The safe haven indeed raised hellhounds, a forbidden species that could only be used by the executive department even in the academy.

These ferocious dogs, which have been genetically modified and transformed into dragons, run in the darkness and surround their prey, just like a human empire deploying its troops.

When Eva displayed her kingly majesty, all the dark shadows that stood up from the snow disappeared. They were just illusions created by this land of Nibelung to confuse the uninvited guests who broke in.

But what follows is the first line of defense of the safe haven, which is the packs of hellhounds.

In addition, the sounds of other engines were brought by the wind, coming from the commandos inside the haven.

"What should we do next? If we encounter resistance, can we use lethal weapons?" Chu Zihang stroked Chunyu's knife handle repeatedly. He was mobilizing his blood and forcing himself into a critical state where he was about to burst into blood.

Lu Mingfei did not answer. He actually did not want to have a conflict with the people in the safe haven.

After all, it is his father's business, and maybe his mother is also in it.

Even if they had to fight each other in the end, he still hoped to get answers to certain questions from them.

Chrisga was holding a sniper rifle and looking around. Looking through the infrared sight, there were countless ghostly shadows in all directions. After they ran past, they left behind high-temperature air currents that lingered for a long time.

"The hull of the hovercraft has no way of withstanding any kind of heavy weapons fire. We have no way of communicating with the people on the other side. Perhaps they will shoot us into sieves with machine guns the moment we meet," she said.

Susie shook her head: "No."

The invisible domain expanded in all directions with her as the center. Yanling Jianyu's domain covered the entire hovercraft, and the surrounding magnetic field was completely controlled by Susie.

Lu Mingfei's pupils contracted slightly.

He didn't know when Su Si had trained her words to this level. Even her bloodline seemed to have been improved to A+, which Chu Zihang had only been able to reach before.

Eva sat next to Lu Mingfei, crossed her legs, and chewed a bar of high-calorie dark chocolate.

She actually appeared beside Lu Mingfei and the others in a physical form, and at this moment, she was chewing dark chocolate while looking down at Jiude Mai who was still in a coma.

"These kinds of trash soldiers can't do anything to you. After all, you are the Dragon King." She pouted.

Although it’s a bit of a weird title…

After saying this, Eva looked up at the buildings in the distance.

Even so, there seemed to be something extremely dangerous hidden inside, and even she found it difficult to deal with...
