The Witch's Taste

"That's right, you are a witch after all." Chen Ziang turned off the water.

"...Are you worried about me returning to the family?" Xia Zili asked quietly.

"Don't worry." Chen Ziang was silent for a moment and replied, "If you decide to go back to Klublev, I will respect your idea."

"That's not what I'm asking." Xia Zili interrupted him, "Zi'ang, do you want me to go back?"

"If you ask this, of course I don't want to." Chen Ziang smiled bitterly, "I still need your help with many things."

"Is it just helping?" Xia Zili seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Emotionally speaking, I don't want you to leave either."

"...That's it."

A sigh of relief came from outside the door. Chen Ziang wanted to say something, but the shower door was opened by her.

"The clan said they are cooperating with the Bakht family and asked me not to continue destroying the energy matrix." Xia Zili turned her back and spread her black hair down, "Help me wash my hair."

"Okay." Chen Ziang glanced outside and saw that the clothes she was wearing were neatly folded and placed on the toilet seat.

Is there another disaster next?You and Suzuna should have saved some energy just now...

He calmly picked up the shower, turned on the water, and asked:

"Is the water temperature right?"

"It's okay." Xia Zili said, "I played a trick and pretended to agree to stop, and then planted a bomb underneath."

"If Bakht sends people to repair it overnight, by the early hours of tonight, they should receive the surprise I set."

"You're really mean-spirited." Chen Zi'ang joked casually and put shampoo on her hair.

Xia Zili's body suddenly stopped moving.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziang sensed something was wrong.

"'Really mean-spirited', this is Tsukimiya Suzuna's catchphrase." Xia Zili said slowly.

Despite all precautions, the boat capsized in the gutter!Chen Ziang was nervous in his heart, but he smiled calmly on his face:

"Well, after I've been with you for a long time, I've naturally learned some oral habits."

He wanted to discuss the topic lightly, but Xia Zili didn't give him the chance. She just turned around suddenly and pushed him hard against the wall of the shower room.

"Then why didn't you learn my oral habit?" Xia Zili stared into his eyes and pressed his upper body until he couldn't move - not because he was captured by desire, but because he was really outmatched in strength.

"Do you have any unique oral habits?" Chen Ziang asked calmly.

Xia Zili: ……………

Her face turned a little red, but she still said forcefully:

"If your personality is like a blank sheet of paper, then I can understand that it is easy for you to be infected by her color, but you are obviously not a person with that kind of personality... Is it because you have been together for too long recently?"

"Zili." Chen Ziang said calmly, "Is there a possibility that this is a pure slip of the tongue..."

"Words that are blurted out without thinking can best reflect what is on your mind." Xia Zili's face became increasingly red. She didn't know whether it was because of the temperature of the hot water or because she had some thoughts that were inconvenient to express. In short, her originally fair and smooth face was now as pale as a peach.

Chen Ziang finally understood that "you learned her oral habits" was just a random excuse.

If he hadn't redeemed [Pan's Name] by himself, he would probably have turned into bagasse by now.

That’s it, fight, fight, fight!

But in the guest room outside, Tsukimiya Suzuna took about half a minute to put on her clothes and skirts, and then came to the bathroom door and knocked on the door.

I'm here to cause destruction!

"Senior, are you there?" She called in a sweet voice.

There was the sound of gurgling shower water and the sound of two people talking, but they couldn't be heard clearly and there was no response.

This is quite unusual, because Tsukimiya Suzuna knows Chen Ziang's character.If he hears himself calling her outside, he will immediately respond loudly to escape.

Now there is no sound. The only explanation is that the bathroom itself has been cursed, and the sounds from outside can no longer penetrate.

Tsukimiya Suzuna thought slightly and penetrated the shadow through the crack in the door. Sure enough, she was intercepted and blocked by some unknown force halfway.

How can this kind of trivial skill stump me?

She was gearing up to break through the defense when she suddenly heard Xia Zili's voice coming from inside, and her expression suddenly changed.

350. Chapter 346 Continue to provoke

Around ten o'clock at night.

In the past, after dark in the slums, it was almost impossible to see anyone on the streets except drunks and homeless people.

After all, there is no security force here. If you encounter a robber when it is dark, you can only meet the brave in a narrow road. Therefore, everyone locks the door early after dinner and does not dare to stay outside too much.

However, there was a group of uninvited guests on the streets tonight.

Their clothes were ragged, their steps were shambling, their expressions were haggard, and their appearance was haggard, much like zombies commonly seen in film and television works.

They ran around the streets, breaking into houses and attacking passers-by.Poor people who are injured by attacks will soon be transformed into similar zombies.

They are vulnerable to the firepower of modern weapons.

North of the city of Galapasia, roadblocks have been erected at all intersections leading to the suburbs (slum areas). The reason for the closure is that the road ahead is being repaired.

Farther away, at the entrance to the slum, a "land-based mobile fortress" was erected, with a nuclear reactor and ammunition warehouse installed inside. Its firepower could easily level the entire slum area.

Since the blockade of the intersection, nearly a thousand slum zombies have tried to storm the city, and then lost their lives in the steel storm of the land-based mobile fortress, leaving no bones left.

However, after 10-20 minutes, these corpses will stand up again intact and continue to rush blindly towards the city until they are completely torn apart by fire again.

The city government had to send out more than a dozen military trucks to pull away these strange corpses that could be infinitely resurrected one by one.

But more zombies are still pouring out of the slums, and it is obvious that some unknown plague is spreading among them.If the transmission route is not cut off as soon as possible, the huge population in the entire slum will eventually turn into walking undead.

After an emergency voting session, the city council quickly passed a special resolution to respond to the current critical situation through government-enterprise cooperation.

Although the federal government is also known as the eight giants, it is the weakest among the giants. Therefore, no matter what it wants to do, it cannot do without the chaebol.The chaebols each have their own monopoly areas, so the government usually looks for them as needed. For example, if they want to engage in real estate development, ask Bakht, if they need investment, ask Rhine, etc.

But this time things were too weird, even a biochemical crisis was caused, and the city council was in a mess, so they simply held a government-enterprise joint meeting and invited all the chaebol representatives to the video conference platform to work together and unite. stand up.

"The cadaver specimens in this incident have been tested in the biochemical laboratory and the results have been obtained." A spokesman for the city government transmitted the data to the platform. "You can take a closer look at the specific clinical data."

The chaebol representatives all pretended to click "receive data online."

In fact, the major chaebols have already obtained corpse specimens in advance through secret channels, and are now dissecting them in secret laboratories within the company!But on the surface, I still pretend to know nothing, "Oh, is there such a thing?"

"Based on the data, it seems to be some kind of plague with unknown pathogens. The transmission route has been confirmed to be mainly body fluids, and no other routes have been found yet." The government spokesperson continued, "Patients become more aggressive after the onset of acute symptoms. , and also has a certain degree of immortality.”

Although it was an online video conference, everyone was staring at the computer screen and camera in front of them, and there was no way to confirm which person they were looking at... However, the representative of the Barr Group still felt a subtle atmosphere directed at him and immediately spoke out. said,

"Based on the current clinical data, it is similar to some of our known diseases, but we still cannot confirm what the disease is before the pathogen is actually isolated. In this regard, the Barr Group is willing to cooperate with the municipal government to conduct biochemical tests , to find out the mysterious epidemic spreading in the slums as soon as possible."

It was beautifully said. "I don't know, I'm willing to cooperate", but does anyone believe it?

Apart from anything else, the miserable state of Aegelaos is still there!This time the target is changed to the Garcia sector, which is very reasonable!

In half a month, will your Barr Group launch some kind of special medicine in Galapasia specifically to prevent this disease?

Although everyone was thinking this in their hearts, on the surface they remained calm and silent.

Unless there are enough interests, there is no need to break up with the Barr Group directly...

"Regarding the traceability of this aspect." A representative of the Bakht Group suddenly said, "When our drone was patrolling the power supply lines on a daily basis, it found an abandoned airdrop warehouse outside the slums, and there was a corpse inside. After the security The Bureau’s autopsy confirmed that the deceased should have died of intracranial hypertension caused by some unknown disease, and the identity of the body is not in the information database of the Garcia sector.”

Hearing this, the expressions of other chaebol representatives changed.

Although the words of the representative of the Bakht Group did not mention the "Barr Group", everyone knew that he was hinting at who was behind the scenes.

Unknown brain disease, the corpse comes from outside the star zone... Just take the genetic material data of the corpse and compare it with the citizen information database of Aegelaos, wouldn't you know?

"Ahem!" The corporate representative of the Barr Group looked very serious and quickly led the conversation. "Since it is an airdrop warehouse, the star port and the starship humans are highly suspicious. We can focus on tracing the source in this regard."

"Indeed." Representative Bakht agreed. "If it was done by a starship human, it must be severely punished."

"It must be severely punished, it must be severely punished." Other representatives also expressed their opinions.

When it comes to targeting humans on starships, the elf plutocrats have shown a high degree of consistency... Just like the two parties in the United States in Chen Ziang's previous life on Earth, no matter how much they quarrel in private, it is always right to attack Russia on the table.

"If anyone cooperates with the starship humans in private, they should be severely punished together after being found out." Representative Bakht added.

"That's right, we should jointly punish them severely." There were far fewer echoing voices this time.

Who cooperated with the starship humans to transport the pathogen of Aegelaos to the Garcia sector and airdrop it?I don’t know, but if found out, severe punishment must be imposed. This matter has been decided as a consensus among the chaebols.

"We will soon issue a stern diplomatic inquiry to the starship humanity." Now that the tone of the government-enterprise meeting has been set, the government spokesperson no longer hesitated and concluded the same stance.

The online video conference ended, and representatives of the Barr Group quickly reported the news.

When the news reached the board of directors, everyone was immediately confused: What, we are suspected of cooperating with starship humans?

This is obviously nonsense.In the Aegelaos sector, we were forced to join forces with humans to fight back because the Bakht family took action first.

Now that there is no corporate war in the Garcia sector, will we collude with the starship humans again?There is also that airdrop pod. It was obviously dropped by the starship humans on purpose to instigate internal fighting among us!

These directors are also experienced in the market, and they can quickly guess the thoughts of other chaebols.

It is impossible to say that they cannot see that this is a frame-up of the starship humans.But there is a high probability that they will pretend not to notice it, and in the process of attacking the starship humans with all their strength, the Barr Group will also be involved, and even the eight giants of the Federation will lose one head...

This is the conspiracy of the Bakht family!Taking revenge for Aegelaos's defeat!

The situation in the Garcia sector is more complicated. Bakht and Krublev are closely connected, and the faction of the noble enterprise has become unprecedentedly powerful.If you want to fight against these old-fashioned guys, you must quickly join forces with financial capital. Otherwise, the Barr Group's independent strength will not be able to resist these two aristocratic giants.

So the directors used their magical powers, and many contacted the financiers in the Rhine overnight and offered extremely generous conditions.

351.Chapter 347 Sleepless Night

In the luxury float car, a well-dressed middle-aged elf gentleman sitting in the back row suddenly received a call.

On the other side of the phone was an old acquaintance of his, making an offer he couldn't refuse.

The elf gentleman did not give an immediate reply, because anyone who has experienced the financial market knows that benefits are often accompanied by risks - the greater the benefits on the surface, there are often terrible risks that match them secretly.

So, what forced the Barr Group to bleed so much?

Just as he was thinking quietly, another call came. This time it was from another investor who was familiar with him. The purpose of the call at this time was self-evident:

"...It seems like they've made you an offer you can't refuse."

"After all, they have to stand on the opposite side of Klublev and Bakht, so no amount of preparation is too much."

"Then you plan to agree?"

"Of course, you also said it was an 'unrejectable offer'."

"Other old guys should make the same decision as you."

"I hope so. After all, the decadent afterglow of the nobility has been entrenched in this universe for too long. In comparison, humans are not our biggest threat at this stage. What do you think?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm not interested in humans. I just want to protect my property."

After the call with his old friend ended, the middle-aged elf gentleman looked out the window with emotion.There are row upon row of skyscrapers, and the lights are bright even late at night, like a city that never sleeps blessed by God the Father.

The starship humans... are quite clever. They were able to accurately identify the gap in the Baal Group from the predicament of being besieged by the major chaebols, and thus suddenly found a precious opportunity to "join forces to fight against the old aristocrats" and seize it. Hand-delivered to emerging capitalists.

Unlike traditional aristocrats, these financiers do not have such strong racial discrimination and sectarian prejudice. What they like most is to deal with smart people - because the behavior of smart people can be predicted through the concept of interests, while aristocrats can act as they please. Very annoying.

"In that case." He opened the small refrigerator built into the car and took out a bottle of champagne.

"Let Galapacia cause chaos."

--------

Chen Ziang suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He pushed aside the tangled hands and feet on his left and right sides, climbed down from the end of the bed, and heard noisy shouts coming from outside.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see that most of the lights in the nearby buildings have been turned off.

power cut.

"What to do next?" Xia Zili sat up from the bed and put on her clothes.

"We..." Chen Ziang just started to speak, when suddenly he saw Xia Zili swooping over and crushing him under him in an instant.
