Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

The right hand covered with silver-white armor left the wall of the control room, and in the blink of an eye, the entire building was frozen.

Duan Mingyuan reached out and touched the ice on the glass. This thin layer of ice actually kept the disaster out of the building.

Bai Kou watched his personal bodyguard rush towards Ye Huo and stand between them.

——"'Zefeng', this is both the name of the armor and his code name."

Chapter 72 Snow Disaster

The current situation is quite unfavorable for Yehuo.

Manipulating the world's disasters is an invincible ability, but Bai Kou's personal guards are precisely the existence that restrains her. For some unknown reason, the armor formed by this layer of freezing mist can easily block the disasters outside.

What does the "west wind" that Bai Kou mentioned represent?

Duan Mingyuan carefully observed the cold air lingering in the armor, and actually felt the vigorous life energy from it.

It was a completely different form of energy than he had ever encountered before.

He suddenly realized that Zephyr's ability did not come from himself, but from the armor he wore. For this reason, he gave up his name, no longer showing his true face, and let the armor replace everything for him.

"This is the application of the seventh type of energy. This planet is not the company's only mining channel."

Bai Kou looked up at the starry sky.

It was already late at night, and the sky was dotted with stars.

He continued, "About 27 billion kilometers away from here, there is a planet covered by glaciers. When the company's exploration team arrived, the environment there was much worse than here. There were no large-scale cities on the planet, only small settlements scattered around struggling to survive. From the moment of birth, every life was forced to face the cold, shortage of supplies, and the invasion of snowstorms.

"The snowstorm is a cluster of elements formed by ice and snow on that planet. They have various shapes and all life will be annihilated in the extreme cold wherever they go. But it is also under such circumstances that the people on that planet have gained a special kind of life energy. It is through this strange life energy that they have been fighting against the snowstorms for generations.

"But this confrontation can't last long. According to the research of the exploration team, the 'cancer' of that planet has reached an irreversible level. The outline of a 'cocoon' was captured in the central area of ​​the planet. The snowstorm was bred from there."

The frivolous smile on Bai Kou's face disappeared, and he said seriously, "The planet that has become a 'cocoon' cannot be saved, so the company gave the residents of that planet two choices. One is to continue to stay in their hometown and fight against the increasing snowstorms until the last moment; the other is that the company can provide them with a flagship that can accommodate all the tribesmen, ensuring that they can escape the planet before it is completely swallowed by the snowstorm."

Duan Mingyuan asked, "What is the price?"

The cost of building a flagship that can accommodate all the survivors of a planet is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

Based on his understanding of the company, it was definitely not a charitable organization that was willing to give alms.

“The study of life energy.”

Bai Kou did not hide anything, "According to the contract, when the West Wind Clan settles down on the flagship, they must cooperate with the company's various research projects and provide enough research samples for the research projects. What you are seeing now is the result of their research."

Until this moment, Duan Mingyuan finally understood why Ye Huo's ability was ineffective against cold air.

The west wind does not control all the energy in this world. This special life energy comes from another planet 27 billion kilometers away from them.

This was a way to fight against the world's disasters that even he had never thought of.

Ye Huo seemed to have never encountered a situation where his abilities were ineffective, and he appeared extremely passive on the scene. What was worse was that as the battle continued, more and more areas were frozen by the cold air.

The ground, the walls, and even the life energy that constructed the barrier were covered with a thin layer of frost.

Correspondingly, the scope of the disaster is becoming smaller and smaller.

"There is also a special life energy on this planet. The way it is refined and expressed is completely different from that of the West Wind Clan. If we study it, I believe we can produce results that are no less outstanding than those of West Wind."

Bai Kou looked down at Ye Huo who was gradually retreating to a dead end. "The situation is clear at a glance. If this precious energy is left in the hands of people who don't know how to use it properly, it will only result in a waste of resources. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have seen such a situation once before. It's really amazing, the ability to control the disasters in the world, or -"

As he was speaking, a loud noise suddenly occurred behind Ye Huo, who was forced into a dead corner.

The beam of light spewed out by the energy weapon broke through the wall and hit the chest of the Zephyr Armor accurately.

The strong impact knocked Xifeng dozens of meters away, broke through the formed diaphragm, and left a huge hole in the wall of the control center building.

The large war weapons equipped by the factory broke through the wall behind Yehuo and aimed the gun barrel at the direction where Xifeng was flying backwards.

Liu observed the development of the battle through the display screen.

The hero always appears at the critical moment and gives the villain a head-on blow.

At this moment, they had a common enemy. As for the grudge with Ye Huo, it would not be too late to settle it after dealing with that troublesome robot.

This was the moment Liu had been waiting for. He imitated Ye Huo's ability and let Bai Kou's personal guards gradually get used to Ye Huo's ability during the battle until they could capture the moment when the opponent revealed a flaw.

Just like in those thrilling movies, this is a sure-fire winning blow that is sure to hit and cause damage!

However, Bai Kou, who witnessed all this in the control room, touched his chin with interest, "Or fantasizing about becoming a hero in a movie, gaining strength from it, and being able to turn an imaginary scene into reality... And you, Mr. Duan, as long as things are within your cognition, they will be controlled by you. These abilities all sound extremely powerful."

Bai Kou paused and said, "But as you said, no matter how powerful an ability is, if it does not have sufficient life energy and cognition as a foundation, it is just a paper tiger that looks good but is useless."

When the smoke and dust cleared, a figure with a hole in the chest slowly returned to the battlefield.

There was no flesh and bones under the torn armor, and the raging blizzard was stirring madly.

It looked as if it had life and independent consciousness. Within five seconds, the hole in its chest returned to its original state.

Things from another world that cannot be reached by disasters, unknown lives beyond the world of movies.

The outcome of this battle was determined long before it began.

Not only did the company have intelligence about Night Disaster, but even his ability to hide in the dark, using Night Disaster's abilities as a cover to launch surprise attacks, did not escape the eyes of the company's intelligence department.

Before Bai Kou came to attend the meeting, he had already prepared the guards who could most restrain the two of them.

Do not,

To be precise, there should be three people.

Things beyond cognition cannot be reconstructed. Duan Mingyuan, who knows nothing about the structure of the West Wind Armor and the life hidden in it, naturally cannot transform it into other objects.

This is why Bai Kou deliberately turned the topic to him.

"Don't just stand there, Ye——"

Liu's shouting stopped abruptly.

The ice covered the weapon of war he was operating and also froze his body in place forever.

At the same time, Ye Huo, who felt his life energy rapidly fading, had not yet reacted before his body was grasped by a huge hand made of ice. In the blink of an eye, his body was suspended in the air and sent to the glass of the control room.

The blood-colored barrier collapsed and shattered under the erosion of the blizzard, turning into a semicircular ice sculpture.

"Should I call you Nightbane or Miss September?"

The two looked at each other through the cracked glass, and Bai Kou asked, "You are different from the remnants of the hunters. I want to hear your reasons. Although it may not be the way you imagined, the result is no different - you have ten minutes, after which your blood will freeze and fall into a dormant state. If you have anything you want to ask me, you can start asking now."

Small Theater No. 4:

Wednesday evening

September's picky eating problem has become more and more serious recently.

Although she seemed to know how to combine meals when cooking, she never ate anything herself. Take the big plate of chicken as an example. Often after a meal, only a big plate of potatoes and green peppers were left.

"Monsters never suffer from malnutrition."

September once again brought out his own twisted theory, completely forgetting that he had just developed an ulcer and had been in pain for a week.

According to Duan Mingyuan's long-term observation, foxes can get the same diseases as humans, and if they don't eat vegetables and get mouth ulcers, they will immediately give her a taste of her own medicine.

"I remember you used to eat vegetables."

Duan Mingyuan fell into deep thought. When did this little fox stop eating vegetables?

Perhaps she had an ulcer one time and accidentally irritated the wound when eating green peppers. To comfort her, he let the poor little fox sit on his lap and fed her a few grapes. From then on, September never ate vegetables again.

Not only green peppers, but even potatoes and vegetables are not eaten anymore.

He suddenly realized something and patted his legs. Jiu Yue immediately understood and sat on them, putting her arms around his neck.

Duan Mingyuan picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks and brought it to Jiu Yue's mouth. "Would you like to eat it?"

"eat!"

Jiu Yue bit her chopsticks contentedly and said vaguely, "I just like to eat potatoes and green peppers."

Chapter 73 Praying to the Heaven

"Batch 67..."

September's nine ostentatious tails disappeared, and her murderous scarlet pupils turned back into amber. The boundless cold seemed to be drawing her life energy out of her body. She glanced at Mr. Mingyuan and found that he was also looking at her seriously, waiting for her answer.

She gritted her teeth and pulled herself together, "Where did you send the 67th batch of goods?"

"Although I usually don't remember the numbers of every batch of goods, but since this matter is so important to you..."

Bai Kou supported his chin with his left hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "I remember that there was indeed a batch of cargo that delivered a lucky fox and a disaster fox. This rare combination also left some impressions on me. If you want to know their whereabouts - they are different from those ordinary cargoes. They were assigned to an important project team. I like their abilities very much, and hope to conduct research based on this and create new armor."

"Give them back! Give them back!"

"Didn't they tell you? It's a fair deal."

Bai Kou said, "The company has always kept its promise and allowed the villages and forests where your people live to remain intact. In the years since then, the company has never interfered with the area where you live, and has indirectly protected the safety of your people from the Royal Hunting Court. Until the fall of the Royal Hunting Court, the company has never issued any commission involving you. In exchange, they should also keep their promise and cooperate with all research on the project-"

He heard the sound of the bulletproof glass crumbling.

The gathering disasters were trying to spread in through the gaps, but were once again blocked outside by the thin frost due to insufficient life energy.

Bai Kou and Jiu Yue looked at each other, their eyes flickering with confusion. "When faced with a natural disaster, will anyone blame God? No matter what kind of disaster God sends down, it is destiny, and you should just accept it silently. As a lucky fox, you should understand this best."

Drought, heavy rain, insect plague, famine.

Whenever there is a change in the natural world, disasters will spread to the world. It is precisely because of the yearning for happiness that people built temples and placed their hopes on illusory beliefs.

"No matter how you shout and cry, your voices cannot reach the heaven, but...the heaven can bring disasters, but also blessings."

His sharp eyes locked onto Jiu Yue. "Colluding with Wang Xu to rebel and assassinate company executives is a serious crime, but I can give you a chance to choose. You can meet them. In exchange, you have to cooperate with all the company's research until the day the project is completed. You have the blood of both Ruihu and Huohu, so don't waste it."

September did not respond.

She saw the frozen Liu out of the corner of her eye, and then looked at Duan Mingyuan.

Bai Kou noticed her look and said, "This is the inevitable outcome of defying destiny. Mr. Duan is different from you. He understands the consequences of doing this. If he angers heaven and a disaster strikes, not only you but everyone on this planet will be implicated, and he is destined to become—"

Bai Kou's voice suddenly stopped.

He looked at Duan Mingyuan's actions and frowned, "What are you doing?"

"I just did some research, this should be the emergency button to open all the compartments."

This should be done to rescue as much company property as possible when a dangerous incident occurs.

The incessant alarms stopped, and after pressing the button, every door in this "prison" was opened.

"Is this a childish temper tantrum? I think you are a reasonable person. In this case, we will have to re-evaluate you."

Bai Kou didn't like this silent resistance. After learning about Jiu Yue's life experience, he would never let this precious resource slip away from his hands. Now was an important moment in the negotiation, and he didn't want to be distracted by some boring trivial matters.

“It’s to show support.”

Duan Mingyuan has been waiting for an explanation.

He doesn't like being used, and somehow he becomes a pioneer in the rebellion against the company.

After understanding her reasons, a stone in my heart suddenly fell to the ground.

If September also held high the empty slogans of "survival of the fittest", "sacrifice" and "saving the world" and claimed to be righteous, he would probably be greatly disappointed.

Duan Mingyuan turned to the man who called himself Tian and said, "Mr. Bai Kou, you can also make mistakes sometimes. For example, if I wanted to attack you at this distance, you would be dead now."

"You know the consequences of doing this."

Bai Kou said coldly.

The company's assessment is never wrong. Perhaps Duan Mingyuan has some crazy ideas deep in his heart, but he is fundamentally different from the remnants of Wangxu.

Reason will become Duan Mingyuan's shackles.

With just a simple command, the company's flagship can easily wipe a city off the map forever.

The company doesn't even need to resort to violence. Everything on this planet is built on their support. All it needs is some small economic tricks to displace countless people overnight.

"Mr. Duan, all these sins will be blamed on you alone. No matter if it was ten, dozens, or even a hundred years ago, people will remember the consequences of a fool trying to rebel against God."

"That won't bother you."
