Holding the tablet computer, Xiao Ding got off the tank alone, walked to the front of the Doomsday Fortress, and knocked on the door of the Doomsday Fortress. Gu Zhuo opened the door. In order to prevent Xiao Ding from sneak attacks or other accidents, he had already covered himself with
Layer War Machine.
After he opened the car door, he took the tablet and saw Wang Zhian's face. He was sitting in the center of the tablet screen, looking serious, not angry or intimidating.
He only glanced at Wang Zhian and then continued to focus on Xiao Ding.
Looking at Xiao Ding up close, I realized that he had aged a lot. He was not much older than him, but he looked like he was in his forties or fifties. It seemed that he had been struggling a lot during this time.
When he saw Gu Zhuo for the first time, Xiao Ding was surprised.
Unexpectedly, this kid is even wearing a mecha now, and this mecha looks majestic and full of technology. It is indeed extraordinary. No wonder the chairman is so eager to talk to him.
"Captain Xiao, I've paid off all my debts this time. I won't owe you anything in the future."
"I know, I won't take a job like this anymore."
The two exchanged a few words quickly, and Gu Zhuo closed the car door of the Doomsday Fortress, while Xiao Ding stood alone outside the car waiting.
After closing the car door and holding the tablet, Gu Zhuo quickly retracted the war machine. Wang Zhian could clearly see these actions on the other side of the video.
"Gu Zhuo?"
Wang Zhian called him tentatively.
Gu Zhuo had heard this dull sound of vicissitudes of life countless times before, either on TV or during the war mobilization long ago.
He lowered his head to look at Wang Zhian's face and saw Wang Zhian looking at him without blinking an eye.
"it's me."
Gu Zhuo put the tablet on the console in front of him, held it up with something, and sat down with his hands hanging on his chest.
"Is there anyone else with you?"
Wang Zhian looked around him. He seemed to be looking for other people's shadows, but more importantly, he greedily took in the scenes inside the Doomsday Fortress. He could see as much as he could without missing a single detail.
Pass.
"have."
Gu Zhuo didn't hide it from him. Seeing him like this, he felt a little funny in his heart, so he reached out and moved the tablet so that Chao Ying next to him could also be in the mirror:
"You have no objection to bringing a family member, right? Since you can keep an eye on me to find this place, you must have gotten to know the people around me."
The moment he saw Chaoying, Wang Zhian's expression changed slightly. He nodded and said:
"If it's Miss Chao, it'll be fine. It just so happens that I want to have a good talk with both of you. There should be no one else except you two, right?"
"Gone."
Hearing this, Wang Zhian also took a look at the scene around him to the two of them.
He was in an empty office. The style of the office was very simple, with no decoration at all except brown tables and chairs. And inside this office, it was empty at the moment, with no one in it.
"I am only one person, and before the meeting, I confirmed that there is no electronic monitoring equipment or any monitoring. Only the three of us know the content of this meeting. Apart from this, there will definitely be no third party.
Four people know."
"I saw it. So, Chairman Wang, what do you want to say? Let's make the story short. Don't waste our time."
Gu Zhuo's attitude is a bit disdainful. It's no wonder that he has never had a good impression of the government. Whether it is his own country or the governments of other countries, in his eyes, they are just a group of people who seek to benefit the public.
It's just an organization that seeks personal gain for itself.
The several wars he participated in have long proved this indisputable fact.
Wang Zhi'an was keenly aware that Gu Zhuo's attitude was not good, but he didn't care. What he wanted was not Gu Zhuo's attitude anyway, but just the value in him that he could use.
"Gu Zhuo, do you know that both of you have been targeted by the Prophet Cult?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo shook his head. Chaoying was targeted by the Prophet Cult. He knew the reason. It was all because of Fang Yuqing. But Fang Yuqing was dead now, and no one would harass Chaoying anymore. He was targeted by the Prophet Cult because
What?
"Locked? Who locked me?"
"The leader of the Prophetic Cult, Wansui."
"Wan Sui?"
Gu Zhuo had never heard of this name before, and it sounded like a Japanese woman.
"I only know that her name is Wan Sui. I don't know anything else. I can't find any information about her. She has no surname, no past, and no file records. It's just like a person who appeared out of thin air."
When Wang Zhian mentioned that woman, he kept shaking his head slightly.
"Why is she looking for me?"
Gu Zhuo continued to ask him.
"She didn't tell me the reason, but she asked me to find out your information and your whereabouts. Once I have any information, I would tell her. She didn't say much else.
"As for Miss Chao, I think you know who is looking for her. Fang Yuqing is the high priest of the Prophet Cult. This was a private mission he gave me at the beginning. I didn't expect that he found her before me.
Miss Chao even paid the price with her life for this..."
Wang Zhian briefly told the whole story.
Gu Zhuo and Chao Ying looked at each other. What Wang Zhi'an said didn't sound like a lie. Moreover, it had already reached this point, so there was no need to lie.
"Gu Zhuo, I really want to ask you, was it really you who killed Fang Yuqing?"
After Wang Zhian finished speaking, he asked Gu Zhuo another question.
"yes."
Gu Zhuo answered him unequivocally.
"how did you do it?"
"Why should I tell you? Even if I tell you, you will never do it."
"..."
Hearing this, Wang Zhian was silent for a while.
But he was not angry. After all, Gu Zhuo's ability to deal with Fang Yuqing proved that he was a very powerful person, and a powerful person is naturally qualified to have a temper.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I just need to make sure that Fang Yuqing is solved by you. As long as you know this, it's enough."
"What do you mean? You haven't told us what the purpose of this conversation is. You can't come here with good intentions to remind us that I'm being targeted by the Prophetic Cult, right?"
Gu Zhuo asked impatiently.
Wang Zhian shook his head, crossed his hands together, then put them on the table and placed them on his chest, making a serious gesture:
"Aren't you curious as to why I joined forces with the Prophetic Cult in the first place?"
Gu Zhuo shrugged, looking indifferent:
"No, it has already happened anyway, so what's the use of being curious."
This sentence made Wang Zhian feel a little embarrassed. He originally thought that Gu Zhuo would follow his words and asked, but he didn't expect that he would answer like this. If it is placed in international negotiations, Gu Zhuo's current attitude is simply a target of public criticism.
.
But there is no other way, now I have to hold my breath for now, there are still important things to discuss with Gu Zhuo.
Wang Zhian took a breath and gave a fake smile:
"Although you are not curious about the reasons behind it, I still want to tell you that our cooperation with the Prophet Cult is really a helpless move. There are internal and external troubles, riots in the bunker, and so many monsters outside, frequent disasters
, and the forces that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. If we don’t cooperate with them, the government will be done with it.”
Gu Zhuo didn't know why he was telling him this. Is it to arouse his sympathy?
"Then, what does this have to do with me?"
A government that ignores the people has absolutely no need for sympathy.
"We exchanged terms with the Prophetic Cult, using a large part of our real power and the conditions to preach for them in various places, in exchange for a controller and an infected person, thereby stabilizing the political power."
“Preaching in various places?”
"Yes. We have decentralized religious rights... It is better to say that we have completely given up religious rights than to decentralize religious rights."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo shook his head. He felt that Wang Zhian must have gone crazy. By handing over all religious power to the Prophetic Cult, wouldn't it be obvious that he had given away all the realm of thought?
Although China's divine power has never been greater than imperial power since ancient times, religious power represents far more than the simple concept of "divine power."
There are many factors behind it such as ideology, culture and so on.
It can be said that imperial power can only affect an era, but ideas and culture can affect the future direction of the entire country, and can fundamentally change a nation.
This is why emperors of many dynasties like to unify their thoughts and exclude dissidents.
Its importance is something that Wang Zhian, as a leader of a big country, cannot fail to understand.
But now that he has made such a decision, Gu Zhuo just thinks that he is completely crazy. He has handed over the real power, and also handed over the key to his thoughts. In time, the Prophetic Cult will become the true master of this land.
"Tsk, Chairman, you really made an extremely stupid decision. It's so stupid that I feel that you shouldn't be sitting in this position in the first place."
Gu Zhuo shook his head.
"I know, but that's exactly why I want to talk to you."
Wang Zhian looked at him, staring at every expression on his face, his eyes were unfathomable, no one knew what he was feeling in his heart right now.
