119: Chapter 119 Boss Cliff Young
Chu Hong's heart shook violently.
At this moment, standing on the sniper watchtower in front of the main gate, the sniper who had just been killed still lay right by his feet.
However.
Being stared at by that figure looking calmly through the huge floor-to-ceiling window at this moment gave Chu Hong an inexplicably intense psychological pressure.
"I've said it before, and in fact, I've emphasized it more than once... Let those damn animal protection organizations go to hell. They're just a bunch of monkeys, a bunch of completely worthless monkeys that are even blocking us from getting the flower of eternity!"
"Only those sons of bitches holding up placards in the news and protesting like fools would deny such a great cause of ours just because of those few damn monkeys!"
"Hey, Yang! I'm talking to you! What kind of foolishness are you pulling over there?"
Inside the [Parino Valley Base] [Main Building Top Floor Base Commander's Office]—precisely the floor-to-ceiling window where Cliff Yang was locking gazes with Chu Hong right now.
A fat white man with the build of a nouveau riche pointed at the recent negative news about the group playing on the computer screen in front of him,
while rudely and profanely cursing the animal protection activists swarming in front of their group's headquarters building in the news video to protest their animal abuse.
At this moment, noticing Cliff Yang's strange reaction, the fat man couldn't help frowning and standing up.
He strode over to the floor-to-ceiling window.
"What are you looking at?"
The fat man looked outside at the seemingly normal surroundings. With his eyesight, he completely failed to notice that a sniper had vanished from the watchtower that usually nobody paid attention to.
"It's nothing... Sir, I heard everything you said just now. All I can say is that as long as I am here, the project in Primitive Valley No. 1 will not stop. Those people simply have no idea what a sacred and great path you are searching for on behalf of all humanity."
"No matter how many people they send, the guards of our group and I will tear them to pieces."
Hearing this, Parino Vincent, the current chairman and major backer of Palino Bio-Group, nodded with satisfaction and tapped the latter's chest with a thick, fat finger holding a cigar.
"Yang, I like your drive. Of course, you don't actually have to flatter me about this stuff—human civilization, the greatness of science, blah blah... I do want eternal life, and I do want more wealth, but those aren't contradictory, are they?"
"Everyone up and down the group knows that I, Vincent, am the kindest person in the Parino family, and we possess a sincere heart to change all of humanity..."
Cliff Yang patiently listened to the man before him endlessly boasting about himself. However, a pupil that was obviously a high-tech prosthetic eye flashed with a faint red glow.
Right now, inside his brain, a figure was quietly slipping past the patrolling soldiers along the way like a cunning loach,
quietly sneaking into the [East District Armory] on the northeast side of the base.
Not only did it house the [Maintenance Bay] which maintained and serviced dozens of armored vehicles and tanks, but there was also a [Hangar] where two fighter jets were parked.
Could this person be coming for these things?
A cold glint flashed across Cliff Yang's expression. However, within his clear perception, Chu Hong—who was in a highlighted state even inside the building—was nimbly dodging the surrounding guards and patrol teams,
quietly bypassing the [East District Armory] and arriving at a huge exhibition hall recently built near the northern wall.
"Yang, I trust you. Matters of the base have never gone wrong when left in your hands, even when those damn monkeys went crazy back then... I will handle the external public opinion, but I also hope you can organize a team again as soon as possible to enter Monkey Village and bring back a batch, even if it's just a single flower of eternity..."
"What are you looking at..."
In front of Cliff Yang, Vincent tilted his head in confusion, stood on tiptoe, and followed the former's gaze toward the direction of the East District outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Nothing, sir. Sorry, I was just thinking about what you said regarding entering Monkey Village again. The lab did indeed mention this matter to me; we need a new research sample."
Cliff Yang shook his head. Seeing that Vincent nodded in satisfaction afterwards,
he only then asked, as if suddenly thinking of something,
"Sir, regarding the [Palino Exhibition Hall] you are setting up in the east district of the base, have exhibits started being moved inside yet? If necessary, I can dispatch extra patrol and security personnel."
Hearing this, Vincent laughed heartily and waved his hand.
"Hahaha, rest assured, the attendees of the exhibition are all those fellows who accepted our gifts; they know what to say. In fact, I'm not planning to announce any profound technology to the outside world—this is purely an art exhibition... Relax, Yang. You don't think those stinky monkeys in Monkey Village would be interested in anything other than bananas, do you?"
"Hahaha, do they even understand art? That would simply be too hellish..."
Vincent laughed heartily.
However.
Cliff Yang, looking at Chu Hong who had already entered the [Palino Exhibition Hall] in the East District, couldn't help taking a deep breath.
Indeed, those monkeys in Monkey Village wouldn't be interested in those collections of the Parino family.
But... it looks like certain rats are quite interested.
...
"The world is vast, eating is the greatest... Mianbao Mianbao, where are you~"
After activating the effect of the [cobweb brain-computer interface] exhibition case, Chu Hong clearly discovered that entering a core area with a massive number of personnel like this was far easier than before.
Often, he was separated from the personnel by nothing more than a single crate or a door and window.
Yet even so, none of the personnel in the entire core area were alerted by him.
Right now, he was inside a huge exhibition hall that looked to still be under arrangement, with a large number of neatly arranged exhibition cases scattered across the open space,
as well as some wooden crates and other boxes that had not yet been unpacked,
covered by tarpaulins.
Soldiers were also adjusting the positions of the individual exhibition cases under the command of officers.
Chu Hong hid behind a pile of cargo.
Beneath the huge tarpaulin, a small corner of a dark golden metal safe was sharply spotted by Chu Hong.
He reached out his hand.
Searching [Collection Safe (High-Value Container)]: ...
A two-by-two four-slot, a one-by-one single slot, and a one-by-two two-slot.
A total of three items!
The search icon began to spin, and Chu Hong couldn't help feeling filled with anticipation.
[Item Name]: Parino Head Sculpture
[Item Grade]: Golden
[Value]: 400,129
[Type]: Artistic Collection
[Weight]: 15kg
[Backpack Slot Capacity Occupied]: 2 × 2
[Item Description]: Parino Sean, the earliest founder of the Palino Group, a navigator, explorer, writer, and also a kind philanthropist. A 1:1 replica head sculpture handmade out of gold by craftsmen on the orders of current Palino Group Chairman Parino Vincent.
A big gold item!
Chu Hong's eyes lit up, and he immediately stowed the item into his backpack, just as he was about to continue searching for the next item.
Suddenly, a loud alarm sound rang out through the surrounding broadcast speakers.
"Warning!"
"Warning!"
"External intruder detected entering the base! Combat personnel of all units and teams enter a state of alert!"
"Base patrols enter Level 2 combat readiness!"
"Repeat... External intruder detected entering the base! Combat personnel of all units and teams enter a state of alert..."
Chu Hong's pupils instantly constricted.
And right at this moment, a cold and calm male voice was transmitted into Chu Hong's ears through the broadcast.
"This is the battlefield between human evolution and backwardness. Ignorant and crude, uncivilized monkeys are our primary enemy. Considering that you are also human... put down what's in your hands and get the hell out of here!"
"Otherwise... as the price for unauthorized intrusion into Parino Valley Base, no matter who or what faction stands behind you, they will not be able to stop you from becoming a pile of fertilizer for this land!"
Accompanied by this warning sound clearly coming from the boss,
the alarm lights overhead in the East District [Palino Exhibition Hall] where Chu Hong was located suddenly lit up.
A sharply shrieking red light flashed.
"Woo woo woo!"
Rapid footsteps, accompanied by angry shouts, caused a layer of cold sweat to break out on Chu Hong's forehead.
Within the perception of his [cobweb brain-computer interface],
those personnel and guards he had evaded earlier were now swarming over with weapons in hand, rushing toward his direction.
"Woof woof woof!" Patrol dogs barked frantically at the place where Chu Hong was hiding.
"It's the intruder! He's right here!!!"
