Chapter 75: 061. Infant Eater_2

"Hahahaha...listen to what you’re saying! How could I dare to order you about? The White Fang Guild is here to serve you after all, and we must certainly be all ears to provide you with the best service possible."

Zhu Baiya grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth, and laughed it off; this matter was considered settled.

"Smooth talker, but that’s also your strength."

Infant Eater didn’t sit down. He raised his sharp claws and gently rubbed his fingers in the air, the sharp glint of cold light making the bandits of the White Fang Guild’s hearts skip a beat, but he just calmly said:

"I don’t care about your gains in the Mingji Humanity or any discoveries you’ve made—how do you manage the task I entrusted to you?"

"To be honest, we didn’t capture any infants in the Mingji Humanity, but I’ve already dispatched Zonia and her men to the Sikkim Settlement; I believe they will soon have a breakthrough."

Zhu Baiya spoke cautiously. Transcendents of the Beta Rank could be considered elites in the Four Nations. How many from the Outer World can naturally reach this level?

Infant Eater claimed to be a person from the Outer World, yet both his equipment and strength bore strong traces of the Four Nations.

Zhu Baiya didn’t dare to truly provoke such a character; even if Infant Eater spared him, the followers from the Four Nations behind him wouldn’t let him off easily.

"Smart response, no worries, I’m not in a hurry, I have plenty of time now." Infant Eater seemed unconcerned.

Zhu Baiya’s gaze flickered.

This encounter was different from usual; Infant Eater was in no rush, seemingly just passing by to have a look.

"There will always be infants, and bread as well."

Infant Eater chuckled, the twin-filter cartridge respirator mask covering his entire face, obscuring his true expressions, making him hard to read.

He walked slowly within the tent, casually remarking:

"How has the experience with the two ’products’ been?"

Seeing the other party shift the topic, Zhu Baiya immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"The sister’s fighting strength is quite good, just not brave enough. This time attacking Mingji Humanity, Zonia managed to severely injure a female warrior of the Alpha Stage, which can be considered quite an achievement."

"Haven’t you tried the brother yet?"

Infant Eater chuckled:

"Logically, the brother should be much more useful than the sister."

"He is my trump card," Zhu Baiya confidently stated. "As long as he is with me, even if I lost all my possessions, I could still make a comeback. How could I lightly use him here?"

"Oh? Really? I somehow feel that you are wary of Zonia?"

Infant Eater’s eyes were sly.

"Here’s a piece of advice: next time you attack Mingji Humanity, bring the brother along."

"Those ladies have already been smashed by us—"

"No, no, no. You only defeated Head Nurse Nodley, a martial artist, a mere warrior. Assistant Doctor Anna is much more frightening than her."

Zhu Baiya didn’t dare disregard Infant Eater’s advice, and he nodded:

"If that’s the case, next time I will bring Youhe Lai along, I’m sure we can take down the Shelter. I only want the Shelter’s building itself, and all the technical data is yours to pick from."

"Hehe... but still, I see a glint of greed in your eyes."

Infant Eater spread his arms, opening them wide as if performing a magic trick, and produced a thirteen-year-old boy from between his coat.

The moment Zhu Baiya saw him, his gaze stuck as if to a magnet, unable to shift away.

The boy had a shaved head, no eyebrows, no eyelashes, no visible hair anywhere on his body. His eyes had no focus, just staring straight ahead.

"He’s different."

Zhu Baiya stated gravely:

"Previous products, though devoid of emotions, still had some remnants of humanity and intelligence... but he feels completely like a revolver, cold, precise, deadly."

"You guessed right."

Infant Eater chuckled as he introduced:

"This is the third generation Ersha Armament, fully on par with Frost Plated’s military-grade cyborg modifications and warriors. The issues with Zonia and Youhe Lai don’t exist in it; you can use it to your heart’s content."

"After all, it is purely a weapon."

He cajoled devilishly:

"Compared to letting others fight for you, isn’t the feeling of mastering Strength yourself far better?"

In the midst of their conversation, Zhu Baiya had already realized the true usage of the product.

"...It isn’t cheap, is it?"

"Add fourteen infants on top of the original price, and you can pay in installments."

Zhu Baiya instinctively retorted:

"That’s too expensive. Now that Zonia and others have already abducted a few infants, we can’t stay in the Sikkim Settlement,—this will cost our people more resting places..."

"But, you can obtain True Strength that belongs only to you."

"Infant Eater, forgive my frankness, but the nature of stealing infants is already abhorrent enough. The importance placed on newborns in even a slightly large settlement in the Outer World is beyond your imagination—"

"Mr. Zhu Baiya."

Infant Eater’s mask contorted into a crescent shape, mimicking a gentle and adorable appearance:

"No matter when, for those who have experienced a break-in, owning a private gun is more effective than calling the police for help."

"Do you think after you seize control over Mingji Humanity, holding the pharmaceutical production lines and monopolizing the market, that other bandit gangs will just let you do as you please?"

"I..."

"The White Fang Guild is not the only force in the northern Outer World watching Mingji Humanity. Some are more professional, equipped better, but they cherish their reputation, they wouldn’t directly attack a humanitarian organization."

He lifted his paw-like gigantic hand, patted Zhu Baiya on the shoulder, and spat out another name:

"The Rose Army."

Zhu Baiya’s gaze sharpened, and he immediately said in a deep voice:

"I’ll take it!"

"A wise choice."

Infant Eater slowly pushed the youth toward Zhu Baiya:

"Old rules, I need to collect some deposit first."

Zhu Baiya’s eyes darkened, he lifted his mechanical left hand to his neck, and whispered into the communicator:

"Bring over the two pregnant women we captured in Husong Town."

"Boss!" A subordinate replied anxiously, "That’s killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. The production chain from a pregnant woman is very long—"

"You can’t trap wolves without risking the flock."

Zhu Baiya made up his mind:

"No matter what, we have to take down Mingji Humanity. Besides, The Rose Army wouldn’t dare act against a humanitarian organization. Once we take control, they can’t afford to eliminate us ruthlessly, one and all; even if they severely try to obliterate us, the Four Nations among—"

Bang!

A violent collision came from outside the door, and before people of the White Fang Guild could react, Infant Eater had already slightly sidestepped.

Buzz—Zap!

The next moment, an SUV burst into the tent, ripping through the fabric walls, the glaring headlights instantly blinding everyone’s eyes.

As the blood and snow-mud-stained tires approached them, they only heard Nomi’s proud and exhilarating laughter from the driver’s seat:

"Scum, bastards, beasts, your grandpa from the Rose Army is here!!!"
