Chapter 265: Ruo Chan Does Not Know Xue Jian
As soon as these words were spoken, the three officers in the video all frowned and clenched their teeth.
Ai Wanxin looked at He Yang and saw him nod solemnly, realizing that what "Yang Jici" said was indeed the truth.
"In theory, after declaring a state of emergency, the speaker's power is unimaginable."
"Some people have questioned the rationality of this bill before, but there has never been a national emergency as long, wide-ranging, and with such heavy casualties as the current one, and previous Speakers have not done anything too outrageous. Plus, if the Speaker abuses his power, the Parliament has the right to impeach him, so the matter of revising the bill has been shelved." He Yang explained simply.
Ai Wanxin turned her gaze back to the video.
Shan Pengcheng sat with his back straight, holding the piece of paper he had received from "Yang Jici" in his hand, with such force that he almost pierced the paper.
The officer on the other side of Shan Pengcheng took the paper from him, glanced at it again, and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Yang, I also have some understanding of the emergency bill you mentioned. The Speaker does have the power to directly mobilize our Army's 9th Mountain Division. However, this order directly issued by the Speaker only said that we should cooperate with the work of the Academy of Sciences, but did not specify what the work was."
"Excuse me, if I remember correctly, your main research area is astrophysics, which is inconsistent with the project you described that requires our cooperation."
"Besides, you don't hold any administrative position in the Academy. I am very confused as to why the Academy sent you alone thousands of miles away in such a dangerous situation to lead a project that is not your forte. I also don't understand how you managed to get here from Glory City unscathed."
"I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation."
Zhu Taihe whispered, "That's Captain Guo Xuguang, our battalion's intelligence officer."
"Yang Jici" crossed her slender fingers in front of her body, and the huge white pearl ring on her left index finger emitted a soft and white luster.
Her cold voice slowly sounded: "The questions you ask are meaningless. That's why I never like dealing with soldiers. You are stubborn, stupid, self-righteous, and arrogant. You think you can control everything in the world with the weapons in your hands."
"However, this world is simply not something that can be described by your poor imagination."
She raised her left hand wearing a huge pearl ring, and gently shook her fingertips. A green flame suddenly ignited on the long wooden table in front of Shan Pengcheng and others.
Shan Pengcheng, Zhu Taihe and Guo Xuguang suddenly pushed away their chairs and took two steps back in embarrassment.
Even though they retreated quickly, the eyebrows and hair of the three people were still burned to varying degrees.
They slapped their faces randomly and managed to prevent the fire from starting on their heads.
"What are you doing?!" Zhu Taihe shouted.
"Yang Jici" was still sitting steadily on the chair, almost surrounded by green flames, but unharmed.
She flicked her hand, and the green flames covering the tabletop went out. On the charred and hideous tabletop, green sprouts emerged from the burnt wooden tabletop.
Shan Pengcheng and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Guo Xuguang frowned and asked, "What is this? A dual-element ability of wood and fire?"
"Yang Jici" said calmly: "You can think so if you want."
"But I suppose I have answered your question."
"Do you still have any doubts about how I could come here alone from Glory City?"
Guo Xuguang fell silent. In the video, Zhu Taihe snatched the Speaker's Order from his hand, tore it into pieces and threw it on the table in front of "Yang Jici".
He suppressed his anger and shouted, "When a general is away from home, he is not subject to military orders. Moreover, there are many people in Frost City waiting for our rescue. How can we have the time to participate in your Academy of Sciences' "Sun Bathing and Sky Repairing Plan"? Not to mention that you are an academician, even if the Speaker comes in person, it will be useless!"
"Yang Jici" shook his head: "I don't trust people because I haven't seen them, just like a cicada doesn't know the hardness of snow."
"You have no idea of the power you are about to gain."
She tapped the table twice with her left index finger, and a hand suddenly stretched out from the ground in front of Shan Pengcheng and the others. Before the three of them could react, a muscular man jumped out from the ground, grabbed Zhu Taihe's throat, and lifted him into the air with one hand.
Zhu Taihe reacted very quickly and hit the man's eyes with his elbow. The hard tip of his elbow hit the eyeball which should have been soft, but it was his forearm that was broken.
A whine escaped from his tightly pinched throat.
Shan Pengcheng attacked the strange man at the side, but was kicked away by him.
Guo Xuguang pulled out his pistol and the bullet hit the man's face and bounced off. He seemed to be angry and picked up Zhu Taihe and threw him at Guo Xuguang, knocking him unconscious.
You know, Shan Pengcheng and Zhu Taihe are both high-level B-level sentinels, but they couldn't last a single round under his hands.
"Yang Jici" stood up and the cold voice sounded again.
"Now, you can answer again whether you will participate in this plan or not."
The video stops here.
Zhu Taihe said hoarsely and tiredly: "We have no way to resist. Brigade Commander Shan can only agree to her request and allow the Academy of Sciences to conduct experiments on the soldiers of the 9th Mountain Division."
"What experiment?" Ai Wanxin asked with a frown.
Zhu Taihe set his sights on another video: "An experiment to transform our soldiers into monsters like that man."
He Yang understood and enlarged the video in front of everyone.
It was a small room, but it could accommodate a single camp bed and a simple small toilet.
Shan Pengcheng lay flat on the camp bed.
"Yang Jici", wearing a white cashmere coat, leaned over and injected a needle into his neck.
She injected all the bright green solution into Shan Pengcheng's arteries, and then left.
"That's the confinement room." Zhu Taihe said, "It was temporarily converted into a laboratory."
"Captain Shan was seriously injured, but he insisted on being the first person to participate in the experiment, and Yang Jici agreed."
In the video, Shan Pengcheng, lying on a camp bed, had a collapsed chest, his whole body was trembling, his dark face was pale, and it seemed that he would die at any time.
He suddenly began to convulse all over, and like a fish out of water, he fell off the bed and rolled on the ground in pain.
Shan Pengcheng had a lean and muscular body, but at this moment his whole body was swollen, bursting through his military uniform, revealing muscles as strong and hard as rocks.
His blood vessels bulged all over his body, his eyes were wide open almost popping out of their sockets, and his mouth was full of blood as he screamed in pain.
Suddenly, Shan Pengcheng grabbed the legs of the camp bed while struggling, and swung it violently. The whole camp bed was thrown out and hit the steel confinement door with a loud "bang".
This blow seemed to vent his pain. Shan Pengcheng pounded his fists on the steel floor, bent his knees and jumped up. He leaned over and grabbed the deformed camp bed, and smashed it madly against the steel plates on the four walls of the confinement room.
