However, recently, both the United States and other countries have discovered a strange thing.
—There have been no major security incidents in China caused by alienation.
That is, no more S-class or higher mutant species have appeared.
Regarding this point, we must first rule out the possibility that those exhibiting signs of alienation were secretly excluded by China.
Because the five permanent members of the UN Security Council generally have information about each other's high-level superhumans, they can be said to know each other very well.
However, they recently conducted a simple investigation using their intelligence network and found that, apart from the high-level superhumans lost by China at the beginning of the mutation, and those lost due to reasons other than the mutation, all the remaining high-level superhumans in China are safe and sound!
This is completely abnormal; it's too calm.
Even if the peak has passed, more than half a year has gone by now. There should be at least one or two cases, right? How could there be none?
Even the four permanent members of the UN Security Council excluding China have at least one or two such cases on average!
Just as they were about to investigate the matter further, the Chinese side learned that a general in the United States had undergone a mutation and offered to help, claiming that they could treat him.
Of course, it's a paid service.
However, the Chinese side did not state it so explicitly. They claimed that the treatment was free, but the process would require considerable resources, which the recipient would have to pay for themselves.
In this way, one can not only establish a good image but also gain wealth, achieving two goals at once.
Do the people of the United States understand this principle? Of course they do, but they still have to swallow it, otherwise they will lose an eighth-level ability user.
Furthermore, the Chinese side has an additional requirement—you are only responsible for sending those with symptoms here, and we will be responsible for their treatment; you are not allowed to watch the entire process!
The person has now been cured, but General Doyle, who was accompanying him, was so anxious that he was scratching his head and looking very eager.
"General Li, you—" General Doyle asked urgently, "How did you manage to do that?"
He certainly understood the significance of this to the entire world; it was far too important.
General Doyle earnestly advised, "You can't keep this to yourselves at this time. This is a good thing that benefits the whole world. Besides, we are all on the same side now. We can't keep our own things to ourselves, can we?"
Li Hao was amused by his words; this guy actually knew how to cherish his own possessions! But he used them in the wrong place.
"General Doyle, let me tell you, this isn't something we're keeping to ourselves! It's because this concerns China's top strategic secrets, and it can't be leaked."
"Seriously? A technology that benefits the world is a top strategic secret? If you don't want to give it to us, just say so!"
Since they had made it clear that they wouldn't share, General Doyle's attitude deteriorated considerably, and he became furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger.
What kind of time is this to be engaging in political confrontation?
"Hehe... General Doyle, you misunderstood. Let me tell you two key points and you will understand."
Li Hao remained calm, raising two fingers. "First, this isn't 'technology,' but rather a method on a different level. Second, this method is impossible to replicate; even among ourselves, only those with abilities at level six or higher can enjoy this privilege."
"Not technology? Not replicable?"
General Doyle's eyes widened as he recalled how the previous ruler of District Seven had undergone his transformation, and a vague answer began to form in his mind.
He tentatively asked, "Are you a superhuman?"
"Who knows..."
Li Hao's face was full of smiles, making it impossible to tell if he was being genuine. General Doyle inwardly spit out his saliva, knowing that this guy was determined not to budge, and had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
Before leaving, Li Haoyi's voice rang out: "Remember to pass on what I just said to the other 'old friends'."
Pshaw! I'm being used as a tool!
General Doyle opened the door with displeasure and went to wait in the lounge.
After he left, the smile on Li Hao's face gradually faded, eventually turning into a profound and inscrutable expression.
After a long pause, he scratched his head helplessly, "Oh dear, he's really... more perceptive than I thought. He must have figured out some clues."
Li Haoyi wasn't lying, and General Doyle guessed correctly.
This is neither "technology" nor a replicable method; it is achieved through superhumans, specifically those with unique, mysterious superhuman abilities. Therefore, it is impossible to replicate and is related to China's top strategic secrets.
Before he could leave, two people, one large and one small, suddenly appeared inside. The smaller one grinned at Li Hao.
"Hey, why is it a foreigner this time? Does this mean I'll have to handle all the 'orders' from overseas from now on?!"
56. Traveling alone
"Uh..." Li Hao awkwardly turned his face away, not daring to meet her gaze, his expression quite embarrassed.
"Well, Xiao Qi, don't worry, the quantity won't be too large, it's just friendly assistance."
"Then give me an estimate."
Xiaoqi's cheeks puffed up in anger. She was furious. They always said the same thing, but in the end, they still took up all her rest time!
Li Hao coughed awkwardly, "Well... if we consider a six-month cycle, it's probably twenty or thirty. That's not many, is it?"
"Really?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you," Li Hao said quite seriously.
This girl is like a little princess, and he can't afford to be negligent towards her. Besides, she's his savior, so Li Haoyi can't be tough anymore.
"Hmph! I've done a rough calculation, and in the past six months, you've exploited child laborers hundreds of times!"
"Cough cough!" Li Hao coughed violently, his eyes wide, and said, "How could you slander someone like that!"
"What innocence? I was busy all afternoon yesterday!"
Li Hao's face flushed red, and veins bulged on his forehead as he argued, "This... cannot be considered child labor exploitation. How can something as important as protecting our country be called child labor exploitation?"
Then came incomprehensible words, such as "spiritual creed" and "peaceful world," which made Xiaoqi laugh, filling the room with a cheerful atmosphere.
A moment later, Li Haoyi immediately put on a warm and welcoming smile, "How was it? Did I imitate it well?"
"Pfft~~ It's so similar, it's like the person in the picture is you." Xiao Qi laughed along.
Li Hao sighed and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I was a member of an opera troupe and a scholar when I was young."
"If there's nothing else, let's head back," another person said at that moment.
This person is Mu Mu.
To maintain absolute secrecy, only a few pillars of the nation and a handful of military and political leaders within the upper echelons of China knew of Xiao Qi's existence—no more than ten people in total.
This is already an exception to treat foreigners, so we must be extremely cautious. We must not allow any channels to leak Xiao Qi's identity, otherwise, it would be extremely dangerous for such a mysterious superpowered individual to be exposed to other countries.
So from beginning to end, only he and Mu Mu saw Xiao Qi today. Mu Mu took care of her the whole time, and even the treatment recipient was closely monitored by Mu Mu.
"Okay, you can go back now. Oh, wait, if any news comes back from over there, remember to ask them to provide some proof so we can get our payment later."
Li Hao called them over at the last minute, and only Mu Mu could understand the meaning behind his words.
"Okay, I will."
Mu Mu nodded gently and took Xiao Qi back.
Today, besides her and Li Haoyi, no third person will ever see Xiaoqi again.
"Having a high-level spatial ability user is very convenient."
Li Hao sighed and prepared to engage in dealing with the 'bombardment' from other countries.
When other countries learned that China could treat such a significant condition as alienation symptoms, how could they not want to know the answer?
That's definitely going to be a digging! We'll get to the bottom of it, using every available means to find out!
Li Haoyi will not be idle for at least the foreseeable future.
..........
Tibet West Province.
If someone were to come and explore, they would surely discover that the topography of a certain area here seems to have undergone a very significant change.
Plateaus turning into hills and plains turning into basins seems absurd, but it really happened.
Here, there are two charming young women. Light and graceful as snow, they seem out of place at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll discover that they are the ones who have transformed Tibet into this place.
These two are Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue.
They're just a little disappointed now.
"It seems that luck plays a big part in this matter; you can't force it."
Yan Ziming sighed and prepared to hunt for his next target.
Half a month has passed since they teamed up to kill the Floating Itachi and achieved the first SSS-class kill. Since then, they have not been able to succeed again when faced with an SSS-class intruder.
That time it was mostly by chance; the Floating Weasel had just broken through to SSS level, and its defense was relatively weak among mutated species of the same level.
If it were someone who had already broken through to SSS level for some time or had stronger defenses, Yan Ziming could only sigh in despair.
However, they still gained something.
After the Floating Weasel, they encountered three SSS-rank creatures, each different from the last. Two of them were quick enough to detect the danger and retreat in advance, while the remaining one provided them with excellent material.
It's true that we didn't manage to kill or seriously injure it, but we still dealt it a heavy blow.
If you fight them at this point, they won't be so invincible.
Although she only fought him briefly before running away due to being outmatched, and her body was even broken once along the way, her teamwork with Ye Qianxue left a deep 'impression' on him. At least for a while, he would be a cripple.
