"That is not low. It seems like only the powerful ones had a chance of surviving the Zerg invasion." Wang Tong murmured.
He conceded that there were many things he needed to do. Not only did he need to worry about fending off the Zerg attacks, but he also wanted to find out the real motivation behind the Zergs' inactivity of late.
Wang Tong knew the Zergs temperament well, so he found it hard pressed to believe that they would leave the Jade city alone and give up the aggression.
Something was amiss; it was as if the Zergs had purposefully preserved human life for some perverted intent.
Wang Tong could not find an answer to his questions, but he knew it was important to figure it out.
Charcoal walked alongside Wang Tong like a trusty companion. It was not uncommon to be accompanied by a personal robot, but no robot was as antiquated as Charcoal. Although only the rich people had the money to buy personal robots, a safe city never lacked rich people.
…
Meanwhile, inside a city shrouded by a dark cloud, the Dark Lord held a glass full of blood. Patroclus liked the taste of fine wines, but Moye preferred real human blood.
"What are Patroclus' men doing?"
"They have been quiet. I think they are looking for something."
"How dare he! This is my turf, and I want him to know it. Don't alert them yet, but follow them as close as possible."
"My lord, are we still going to carry out our plan?"
Moye was a dark one, meaning that he had never been a human. There were still reminiscences of his Zerg origin; however, that didn't affect his almost perfect face.
"Of course, we are. "
"We don't care about the presence of Patroclus' men?"
"No!" Moye refuted, his voice booming in the hall.
The rest of the dark ones dropped to their knees with heads lowered. Moye twirled the cup in his hand and roiled the blood slowly. "Patroclus has chosen his own path, and it is not the Zerg way. Never should we question the decision of our Mother Queen. Plus, I want to see how my beloved children will fare in a real-world mission. I have spent a lot of resources on them."
"Yes, my lord. The first generation is about to hatch; the mission will be a good test for them."
"Hehe… There are rewards along with risks. Make sure we keep track of their performance."
"Yes, my lord."
"Our human researchers are a bunch of turn-cloaks. Make sure they remember who they work for."
"Yes, master. I will discipline whoever dares to undermine your authority." The high ranking dark one replied.
Somewhere deep in the dark castle, a giant egg shone a with light passing through its translucent membrane. The membrane undulated as something inside struggled to break free.
…
After Wang Tong and the other three met again, they looked for a place to spend the night. They quickly decided on a hostel for traveling Sect members as they found out how expensive the normal hotels were.
Since Ye Zi was a member of the sect, she could stay at the hostel for free. This was only one of the many reasons that drove people to join the Sect.
"Boss, we have looked around all the weapon shops. Their offer for our equipment was pathetic. We might as well sell to Blizzard. "
"That's true, and we also need to pay taxes."
"That's fine. We can't count on it to get rich. We will try the auction later; maybe we can get a better price there." Wang Tong said and then nodded. Every city had its black market, where anything could be exchanged for money.
"It's true that we are likely to get a better price on the black market, but it's also risky. Anything can happen there." Ye Zi was concerned.
"Hehe… Worry not Ye Zi! You seem to have forgotten who our boss is." Tan Bu said.
Ye Zi grinned; she knew he was right.
"What about your contacts, Ye Zi?"
"I have met a few of my friends, and they told me that one of the four chief field medics, sister Xiao Yuyu, was going to visit the city tomorrow. So, I think we won't be able to meet Sanders anytime soon."
Even as a Sect member, it would be difficult for Ye Zi to meet the city lord anytime she wanted to, particularly when there was going to be an important guest visiting the city.
"Chief Field Medic? What kind of job is that?"
"Our ranking system is pretty straightforward. Susu is the head medic, and is assisted by the four chief medics. Under the chiefs are a hundred or so normal field medics like me, as well as countless trainees."
"Oh? So, you are just one step away from being the chief? Awesome!" Wang Tong exclaimed.
Ye Zi blushed and then waved her hands. "No, I am just a lowly field medic. The four chiefs are at least level eighteen."
"That's nothing, Ye Zi. I guarantee you that with my help, you will be able to reach level eighteen in half a year!" Wang Tong announced.
"Are you …serious?" Ye Zi felt her heart skip a beat.
"Since when did I lie to you? Do you know this Xiao Yuyu? Perhaps we should talk to her too." Wang Tong asked.
Although Wang Tong had never met Sanders before, the encounter with his nephew did not bode well for the business negotiation. Wang Tong did not fear any retribution, but he knew it would be hard to do business with someone who resented him. In a nutshell, he needed to find another business partner.
"Yes, I do, but I don't think she even knows of me."
Ye Zi said and then lowered her head, feeling ashamed for her uselessness and powerlessness. However, none of the three males had picked up the cue, as, like most men, they were insensitive to women's subtle feelings.
"Boss, why don't you charm this Xiao Yuyu and make her join Battle Wolf."
"You have my backing, boss!"
"Who do you think I am? Michaux is going to kill me if I steal one of his best so blatantly." Wang Tong refuted.
The other two young soldiers smiled at him with a great measure of levity. As long as they were with Wang Tong, they didn't feel the need to fear and respect the powerful.
Inside the hostel, the members of the Divine Mastery Sect could be seen in two types of outfits: one was a robe-like dress, and the other was a gym suit.
Ye Zi was in one of those robes; she changed into her Sect outfit as soon as she entered the city to blend in. Due to her relatively high rank in the Sect, the four enjoyed better than normal services.
