On the top floor of the Stargazing Building, an old man was sitting in a wheelchair facing the huge glass windows. In the distance were low and dim lead clouds, and the desert was endless.

"Xiang Yu, you are already in your fourth zodiac year this year, right?" He leaned his body in the wheelchair and took his eyes back from a distance.

"Yes, president, you still remember this. Sometimes I think about it and feel like I'm old."

Not far behind him, a burly man bowed slightly.

"You are in your prime. If you are old, then what should I say about my old bones? Shouldn't it be burned to ashes?"

"I'm sorry, President, I..." Xiang Yu bowed his body lower.

"Ha, life and death are the norm in the world. There is nothing to say. How many years can I last." The old man sighed, "I started from scratch and founded the Star Gazing Club. I didn't expect it to be like this now. Your father was my childhood playmate and he kept helping me. Unfortunately..."

Xiang Yu straightened his body and stood silently.

"The war ruined all this, and now only the Star Gazing Club is left in Yingzhou. The other chaebols, no matter how glorious they were before, have now turned into ashes." The old man tapped his fingers and knocked on the wheelchair, "How is the Blood Moon?"

"It has developed quite well. In name, they are still an independent mercenary organization. No one knows that they were trained by the Star Gazing Club. On the surface, they have not shown much strength. According to your instructions, they have always been very sensible in their actions." Xiang Yu said.

"What about Lei Jin's arms? Last time Jin Jisheng stole their things, they wouldn't just give up."

"We have communicated with them and we have added 10% of the arms procurement. This matter is just like this for the time being. They may still have actions in secret, but Yingzhou is not their territory, so they cannot cause much storm."

"That's because Yingzhou is not very valuable now. For them, Yingzhou is just an irrelevant little place. There are too few resources, so how long we can last is also an unknown, unless..." The old man pressed the button and the wheelchair slowly turned over, revealing a dry face.

Stargazing Society Chief, Lee In-jae.

"President, according to the plan, the transaction with Spike Technology has been completed and the east and west can reach Yingzhou within ten days." Xiang Yu said, "Will the plan from Chief Jin continue?"

"Let him go. Didn't he always want to get to power? I'll give him this opportunity, it's good to polish that kid Qingsheng. Since they want to fight, then go and fight." Lee In-jae paused, "Look at it, don't let them make too much trouble, don't kill too many people. People are the most precious resource now."

"Yes, President." Xiang Yu nodded.

"How is the auction ready?"

"It's almost done. Director Luo is responsible for all matters on behalf of the board of directors, and Chief Jin is responsible for the review and security of the auction items."

“Where is the guest this time?”

"There are people coming from major cities in each state, which is even more powerful than the one half a year ago. The auction in Yingzhou has become the most influential auction. Most of the traded items are provided by people from each state." Xiang Yu said, "According to the current information, the majority of resources account for, and other types are more complicated. President, please see, should you choose it?"

"No need. The more you get, the more people will pursue some extreme things to satisfy their hobbies. There is really not much value in this world." Lee In-jae said, "I will take the list tomorrow, I want to see it."

"yes."

Lee In-jae waved and closed her eyes.

Xiang Yu bowed slightly, then gently stepped out.

...

On the twenty-five floors down the building, in the huge office at the same location, Jin Jisheng was looking at a document in his hand.

"The research team is progressing too slowly, and they have not found a breakthrough. The corpse brought back by Yunlong lacks the most important head, so..." Zhihao stood in front of the table, a little hesitant.

"Just say whatever you want." Jin Jisheng put down the document.

"Chief, will the research plan continue?"

"Zhihao, in our research plan, the heads of abnormal creatures are not the most important. That is not our goal. For our limited resources, it is a topic that we cannot reach. Spire technology, Lei Jin arms, and the forces in Zhongzhou, they are much ahead of us."

"Is that going to be a pause?"

"Our goal is to find the equipment. The report said that they believed that there were traces of active armor resided on the body. Can this be confirmed?" Jin Jisheng asked.

"I've seen the body with traces of peeling on the back. I don't think their report is wrong. The instrument shows that the intensity of Epsilon radiation is the highest value we have detected so far." Zhihao replied.

"The highest? It is only 0.5 Hz." Jin Jisheng said, "But this can really illustrate the problem. There are some progress in the research on bone kihiro. There are 159 experimental samples, the highest level flash scale level plus S virus strengthening level 3, which can successfully produce bone fetals, all of which are above the flash scale level, and a total of 22 cases, without exception, all of them are spinal bones." Jin Jisheng pressed his temple, "What does this mean?"

"The zombie ghoul with the flash scale-level or S virus strengthening level 3 can mass-produce bone fetuses, with a success rate of about 60%. This is a great progress. I speculate that this is probably due to physical strength. Individuals below this level have not enough bones to withstand the effects of alienation." Zhihao held his glasses.

"What about the living experiment? Why isn't it written in the report?"

"Living bone tyre transplants require Kuangsun-level warriors. The most transplanted number is four bone tyres. The basic effect is comparable to the strength of Class A exoskeleton armor, which is about the highest level of Lei Jin arms on sale." Zhi Hao said, "But there are obvious side effects and the rejection reaction is large. They are still trying to adjust the plan. I think this is not a problem, we need some time."

"But..." He paused, "We lacked the Kuangsun-level warriors to conduct the experiment. By yesterday, three people have been lost."

"Aren't they dead? They can recover after two months of prosthetic surgery. As for manpower problems, they can be recruited from the Blood Moon, and you can also go outside to find the mission to the Hunter Guild. You can offer a high-priced reward of zombie ghouls with a level 3 strengthening of S viruses." Jin Jisheng's face was expressionless.

"I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, they are nominally independent organizations. There are very few people who know their background. Even if they know, they won't jump out and say it unless they don't want to live." Kim Ki-sung said, "The body is worthless anymore. Put it at auction and someone will be interested in it."

"Yes." Zhihao said, "The auction has been almost ready. Director Luo did not make things difficult for us this time."

"He knows the severity," said Jin Jisheng. "Where is the radiation detection instrument?"

"It has been installed in the venue. Every item and every person entering the venue will be scanned and will not alarm anyone."

"Very good." Kim Ki-sung said, "When Yunlong comes back, let him come to see me as soon as possible."

"Yes." Zhihao retreated.

Jin Jisheng looked out the window and raised his head slightly.
