Chapter 423 Confrontation and Planning
What does Roche Bio want?
Lu Li seemed to have handed over the initiative, but Luo Yue knew that things were not that simple. If he had a choice, he wanted to throw this question to the other party to test the bottom line.
However, it is not a good choice to stay silent.
After a little thought, this Mr. Luo said in a deep voice:
"It's very simple. The board of directors asked me to bring that alien creature back at all costs."
"Live?" Lu Li asked aloud, he wanted to test the bottom line of Roche's creatures.
And Mr. Luo, who had a plan in mind, did not hesitate at all, and said sincerely: "Frankly speaking, this kind of creature is too dangerous. I am different from the group of self-assertive people in the company. I am willing to give in. I just need some cell samples." .”
"Of course, it would be even better if we could leave the body to us."
That's it?
Lu Li was the first to not believe such a low request.
You know, judging from the behavior style exposed by Roche Biology earlier, they have a big appetite, how could they be satisfied so easily?
In addition, they don't come early or late, but they choose to contact themselves at this critical moment——
Just out of the meeting, he was weighing whether to contact Professor Taylor.
"Student Lu Li, you might as well say what your attitude is. The company will try its best to show sincerity and resolve the misunderstandings caused earlier."
On the light screen, Mr. Luo is full of sincerity, as if he is really a responsible entrepreneur with positive energy.
At the same time, the female secretary outside the camera feels more and more that it is no accident that her boss can achieve what she is today.
In the previous meeting, they said that they would do whatever it takes, even at the cost of sacrificing the entire ship's staff, to obtain a living alien body. Not only that, they also declared that they would send Lu Li, who had broken free from the genetic lock and possessed secrets, into the laboratory.
But now when talking to the Lord, he put on a humble and polite look.
Probably because he thought that no matter how many secrets there were in Lu Li, he was still a young adult with little social experience.
Unfortunately, misjudgment.
At this moment, Lu Li, who had calmed down to think about the conspiracy theory, thought of a possibility, and said apologetically, "Mr. Luo, it would be great if you contacted me sooner."
"Not long ago, those aliens broke into the living area, and the security team paid a great price. After killing them all, in order to prevent the virus, they deliberately threw the corpses into the incinerator, and the residue was discharged into deep space along the pipeline among."
After speaking, Lu Li passed a few photos to increase his convincing force.
The communication wristwatch has a storage function. When he was dealing with the dead drone, he took some videos and photos, not because it would be useful here, but as a memento.
Not long after, several high-definition pictures were loaded on the screen tens of billions of kilometers away.
The first: the body of a black monster is thrown into the boiler.
Second picture: The boiler starts to work.
The third picture: A pile of black powder was shoveled out, which was mixed with a lot of impurities, and the size was different. It was an exoskeleton that could not be destroyed by a high temperature of 3,000 degrees.
The fourth picture: The sewage outlet was opened, and the ashes were scattered into the deep space.
In an instant, Mr. Luo felt his heart sinking suddenly, but his facial expression was controlled by strong concentration.
He abruptly stopped spitting out the words: besides the three-headed alien, the most special number one!
Because, in this way, Lu Li would guess that there were spies on board and provide follow-up information for the company.
So, Mr. Luo changed his words: "Aren't there only two monsters in the message I received, how come there are three monsters all of a sudden?"
But Lu Li had already captured the expression he wanted, and he could almost conclude that the contents of the secret meeting had been leaked.
Thinking of this, faces flashed across my mind.
Doctor Amy...the pilot David...the co-pilot Andy...the female engineer Colleen, or the unnamed navigator?
Or, is there unknown surveillance equipment in the cockpit?
At this moment, Lu Li felt that he was getting closer to the truth. Because of this, he decided to continue to probe, and said nonsense, "The virus leaked in the scientific research area, Dr. Rhodes was unfortunately infected, and became the third infected person."
You are cunning, I pretend to be stupid.
Facing the cunning black-hearted capitalist, Lu Li kept pretending to be stupid and took the initiative in the conversation.
At this time, Luo Yue also realized that he was being played. He tried his best to control his emotions and tried to regain control of the rhythm of the conversation:
"That's really a pity. In this way, the only places with research significance are the research areas where viruses may exist."
Having said that, the conversation changed:
"In addition, before the battleship sent by the company arrives, I hope everyone can take care of themselves. Rescue will arrive within two days."
The mask of hypocrisy gradually faded.
Lu Li knew that it was definitely not a rescue. What everyone was worried about during the meeting finally happened.
In fact, the two said they were going to have a candid conversation, but neither had a word of truth in their words.
Except for the sentence just now, this is a blockbuster deliberately thrown by Mr. Luo in order to control the rhythm.
It has to be said that this guy is really proficient in conversing, and even the calmest captain will be affected by the situation in front of him.
However, Lu Li still didn't panic.
In fact, besides seeking help from Professor Taylor, he has another method:
Both jade and stone are burned.
It's not that they really want to bring the alien together to destroy it, but make this gesture to make the opponent throw a mouse.
That is, as long as the attack ship launches an attack or makes any dangerous moves, I will immediately detonate the scientific research ship. At that time, no matter if it is an alien or something else, Roche's creatures will not be able to get it.
What?
Before Tinder was destroyed, the spacecraft self-destruct program was turned off in advance.
It's not a big problem. Just take the high-explosive grenade in the arsenal and go to the nuclear-powered plasma engine room. Open flames are prohibited in that place, and once the explosives explode...
Not only will the Tinder become a ray of bright fireworks in the universe, but the spaceships docked in the surrounding area will also have to worry about it.
Just like that, Lu Li decided to tear off the camouflage. He secretly stated that there was a batch of high explosives in the equipment warehouse, and someone had transported them to the power room.
Luo Yue is a smart person, and immediately understood what this sentence meant.
Meanwhile, off-camera, many board members are slacking off, fed up with this probing chat.
If it goes on like this...it is doomed to have no results.
Mr. Luo decided to have a frank talk after noticing the impatient expressions of several directors.
In fact, his patience had reached its limit. The young man who was talking to him was clearly cunning and cunning.
"Mr. Lu."
This time, she no longer referred to her as a classmate, Luo Yue said bluntly with a sullen face: "The company must get an alien."
"The safety of the whole ship must be guaranteed." Lu Li was honest and confronted.
"So, let's talk about the conditions." Mr. Luo heaved a sigh of relief. He actually found this way of talking very enjoyable.
"Withdraw the battleship, let us go to safety."
"Impossible!" A director suddenly said, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Lu Li didn't care too much about this, no matter how many people were eavesdropping, as long as they showed sincerity.
"Alien creatures must not be known to the outside world. We must conduct secret research."
Mr. Luo raised his hand to signal the director who was so excited to stand up to sit down, and added: "This is the bottom line. Once the matter is known to the outside world, we can only destroy everything."
"According to what you said, the Tinder must stay within your sphere of influence." Lu Li sneered, "Everyone's integrity is obvious to all. Once we lose the initiative, we will be like fish on the chopping board."
"To show my sincerity, I will withdraw the three battleships that were chasing you."
Perhaps to show the so-called sincerity, Mr. Luo Yue became frank and reminded: "According to the company's next plan, it is to launch a long-range magnetic storm bomb, which will not cause damage to living organisms, but will make all the electrons on the spacecraft System failure.
In short, you will suddenly become cosmic ghosts, unable to send any signals. "
After saying that, he contacted the three attack ships in front of Lu Li, and ordered the captains to turn around immediately, stop carrying out the arrest mission, and destroy the long-range magnetic storm bombs on board.
Although he didn't see the specific picture, Lu Li didn't think this guy would play tricks on him.
Both jade and stone were destroyed, and this move gave him the upper hand while staying inside the spaceship.
"So we have to thank you?"
After eavesdropping for so long, Roger pushed the door open, and he felt the need to stand up.
But Lu Li had expected it a long time ago, and moved to the side to make room for this guy.
"Mr. Roger, I am so glad to see you safe and sound."
The middle-aged man at the other end of the screen bowed to greet him.
Roger didn't accept this at all, and pointed directly at the virtual light screen, and said, "You must come here in person. Since this is an important negotiation, what kind of sincerity is it that you are not present?"
"..."
Lu Li was taken aback for a moment, he really hadn't thought of raising such a condition.
Mr. Luo was also stunned.
A few minutes later, after suppressing the noise in the conference room, the black-hearted capitalist unexpectedly agreed to a request.
"Okay, let's talk face to face, but before I enter the Tinder, you must ensure that the last alien is still alive, let alone contact that Professor Taylor privately.
This is the bottom line of our company, and the safety you seek will also be guaranteed.
The above three bottom lines will never change. "
If it weren't for the different positions, Lu Li really wanted to be friends with this guy, and his careful thoughts made both sides have their own scruples.
Perhaps, he has seen that he does not want to contact Professor Taylor as a last resort.
"You'd better not play any tricks. Next, I will move all the explosives to the power cabin and set up a manual detonation device."
On the side, Roger, who had left a warning, stood up and returned the position to Lu Li.
"In order to express your sincerity, why don't you reveal the identity of the spy, anyway, everyone is planning to go to the negotiating table and have a face-to-face discussion."
As soon as Lu Li appeared on the screen, he pushed forward and made a request that made Roche Biotech feel embarrassed, "It's completely unnecessary to keep this kind of person who affects the trust between the two parties, right?"
"It's just a few secret surveillance."
Luo Yue doesn't intend to tell the truth, and negotiating with sincerity does not mean that she has to give up her cards.
Seeing this, Lu Li didn't ask any further questions.
Anyway, after a lot of wrangling, the general direction has been set, and the rest is to discuss the minutiae. It is best to get an answer. If there is no answer, don't push too hard, lest all previous efforts will be wasted.
After all, it's not good to be too aggressive all the time.
"The day after tomorrow at the latest, I will appear in the area where the Fire Seed is located, with only a security team of 30 people with me to negotiate."
"It won't be an assault ship carrying heavy weapons?"
"A light transport ship."
"Okay, I will let Mr. Captain slow down the flight speed of the Pyro, waiting for you to come to negotiate."
After getting the desired result, Lu Li changed his face and said with a smile, "I wish us a happy negotiation."
"The day won't be long."
After going around and going around, I finally achieved my goal. Although I have been led by the nose, it is indeed infinitely better than the ending of the same death.
Therefore, after confirming the interview, Mr. Luo Yue interrupted the communication with Lu Li and asked the female secretary to prepare a transport ship immediately.
"Things still aren't going the worst way, are they?"
Facing dozens of gazes, Luo Yue shrugged, showing a calm look.
As for his inner heart... He has been in the capital market for many years, but today he stumbled and was crazily paced by a junior, how could he not be depressed.
"Are you going to be a hostage in the past? The opponent has two inhuman beings who have broken free from the genetic chain. If you don't send an attack ship, there will be no deterrent effect at all."
One of the rich-looking directors looked displeased.
"If you don't try it, how will you know the final result? It's really not good, so what about being a hostage for a period of time, as long as you can get that alien creature, everything is worth it."
Mr. Luo's tone was relaxed, and he regained his control over everything.
...
Inside the tinder number.
"Are you sure he will not play any tricks and come to the negotiation honestly?" Lin Xiuyi's expression was serious, and his heart was mixed.
"Not sure." Lu Li shook his head, "But I can guarantee the safety of all survivors on board."
"Roche Bio is eager to get the alien and doesn't want to attract the attention of the alliance. As long as we have a tough attitude and take precautions, we can always control the initiative."
"Okay, the next thing is entirely up to you."
After saying that, Lin Xiu took a deep look at Lu Li, and had high hopes for him in his heart.
"Don't worry, I have everything."
"It's just that I want to ask you a question, can the Huozhuo monitor all the strange devices that are close to you, and what is the longest detection distance?"
As for high-tech equipment, Lu Li, a later generation, really finds it hard to understand.
Just like those magnetic storm bombs that can interfere with interstellar communication, if Luo Yue didn't take the initiative to say it, he would never know that there is such a thing.
Almost at a disadvantage...
"Of course there is."
"However, the Tinder is still a heavy-duty scientific research ship, and its scanning ability is not weak. Based on my understanding of Roche's creatures, their airships are simply not capable of sneaking up without being detected."
"The most important thing is that we fly at nine times the speed of light, and no aircraft dares to approach at will, unless the people on board want to die together."
