247: Chapter 247 Robbery isn't faster than cooperation?!

Zone 777, Squid People Core Command Center.

A Mossad agent carrying the secret medicine headed to the front line to contact the players of the Red Wolf Guild.

Rata Hu watched the video feed sent back by the agent and fell into a strange silence.

In the video...

The wasteland battlefield, which was originally piled high with the wreckage of Merkava tanks, was now as clean as if it had been licked by a dog!

The scorched earth and bottomless craters everywhere spoke volumes of the intensity of the battle that had just occurred.

But... where were the tanks?!

Two thousand main battle tanks, each weighing sixty-five tons, should have left behind mounds of steel ruins even if they had been blown to smithereens!

How could they have all vanished into thin air?!

What made Rata Hu's skin crawl even more was...

...the Dragon Country players of Zone C in the video, wearing red vests.

Right now, they were surrounding the Mossad agent in packs.

Every single one of them had a fanatical look, their eyes gleaming with a green light!

Those eyes didn't look like they were looking at a negotiating envoy at all.

It was more like a pack of wild wolves that had been starving for eight hundred years, staring intently at a plump, dripping-fat sheep!

In the center of the battlefield.

Agent Eli, acclaimed as the gold-medal Mossad agent of the Heavenly Dragon Zone, was currently standing frozen in place.

Being sized up from head to toe by thousands of muscular men with such "greedy" eyes...

...he felt his sphincter contracting uncontrollably.

What breed of devils were these Dragon Country people?!

Agent Eli took a deep breath, forcing down the terror in his heart.

He adjusted his suit and, with a hypocritical yet gentlemanly smile, looked at the stunningly beautiful, silver-haired female death god before him.

"Respected lady, and the commander on the armored vehicle over there."

Agent Eli bowed slightly, his tone sincere. "What happened just now was actually a regrettable misunderstanding."

"Our Minister of Defense acted on his own initiative, and His Excellency Rata Hu has already severely reprimanded him."

"To express Zone 777's apologies, Lord Rata specifically had me bring a small gift."

Saying so, Agent Eli carefully opened the specialized incubator in his hands.

Two vials of reagent radiating a rich, life-red glow lay quietly on the cushion.

The moment Xia Li saw this secret medicine, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly.

The system panel automatically popped up with the item's details.

[Item Name: High-Purity Elven Secret Medicine]

[Item Grade: Epic (Purple)]

[Function Description: Upon consumption, instantly restores 100% HP, reconnects severed limbs, and permanently increases Constitution attribute by 10 points!]

[Extra Effect: Greatly delays aging of the body, possessing an incredible miracle of life!]

[Note: Refined from the adrenochrome of pure-blooded elves, extremely precious.]

"Delays aging, a miracle of life?" Xia Li murmured to herself.

Isn't this exactly the disguised "immortality" that the Elder spoke of?

However...

...the moment the members of the Elf Tribe standing behind Xia Li saw those two red vials, they were all struck as if by lightning!

The Elf Elder glared furiously at the two vials of secret medicine, his entire body shaking uncontrollably, his eyes bloodshot to the point of dripping red!

Those were refined from the blood, flesh, and life essence of their own people!

In every single drop of the medicine lay the lives of countless clansmen!

Agent Eli keenly noticed Xia Li's gaze, and following her line of sight, he saw the shivering elves behind her.

He immediately revealed an "I understand" smile.

"Hehe, beautiful lady, I assume you captured these lowly elves to manufacture Elven Secret Medicine as well?"

Agent Eli raised his chin arrogantly, throwing out what he believed to be his ultimate trump card.

"Why don't we cooperate!"

"As long as you are willing to form an alliance, we will immediately present a full hundred bottles of secret medicine as an alliance gift!"

"You Dragon Country people are newcomers; you don't understand the twists and turns of this place."

"But we, Zone 777, possess the most mature live-extraction technology in the wasteland!"

"Apart from here, there are also quite a few Elf Tribes living in other labyrinth zones."

"As long as our two powerful factions join forces to capture all the elves..."

"...when the time comes, mass-producing the secret medicine and achieving true immortality will be a walk in the park!"

Hearing this devilish speech...

...the Elf Elder's heart instantly plunged into a bottomless abyss.

It was over!

The temptation of immortality, the massive leverage of a hundred bottles of Epic-grade secret medicine!

For any human, these were absolutely irresistible terms!

The Elder looked despairingly at Xia Li's back, tears silently streaming down.

Were these Dragon Country people, who had just given them hope, ultimately going to collude with the Squid People and treat them as live ingredients for refining the secret medicine?

Under Agent Eli's highly confident gaze...

...a faint, half-smiling expression suddenly appeared on Xia Li's frost-cold, exquisite face.

Agent Eli was ecstatic in his heart.

It worked!

No woman could resist immortality and eternal youth!

But in the next second...

Xia Li suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Yuan on the Red Wolf Tank.

The cold female death god instantly switched to a sweet, high-pitched voice.

"Lu Yuan~"

"This guy in the hat says they have tons and tons of this high-grade potion in their home base!"

Xia Li toyed with the silver Chain Blade in her hand, her tone faint, carrying a matter-of-fact bandit vibe.

"Tell me, instead of us busting our chops cooperating with them to catch elves..."

"...wouldn't it be much faster to just roll over them with our cannons and plunder the Squid People's home base clean?"

"What do you think~?"

On the turret.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

As expected of a woman from the Red Wolf Guild!

It seemed this once-aloof ice beauty had completely awakened and embraced the glorious identity of a "Dragon Country bandit"!

Why cooperate when you can just rob them?

Supporting himself on the turret with one hand, Lu Yuan looked down from above at Agent Agent Eli, who was completely dumbfounded.

The smile in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness and undisguised killing intent.

"Buddy, you don't seem to have grasped the most fundamental issue here."

Lu Yuan pointed at the despairing elves behind him, then pointed at Agent Eli.

"We, the people of Dragon Country, would never commit such beastly acts as usurping others' homes and returning kindness with ingratitude!"

Lu Yuan's voice boomed like thunder over the ruins through the loudspeaker as he pointed at these hypocritical Squid People and cursed them furiously.

"Before crossing over, you occupied other people's land like parasites and slaughtered their elderly, weak, women, and children."

"Yet you still pretended to be the world's biggest victims every single day!"

"After crossing over to the wasteland, you still have this same repulsive, disgusting face!"

"Keeping living beings as blood bags? And you have the audacity to come talk cooperation with me?!"

Agent Eli's face turned pale from the scolding, and he stumbled backward in panic. "You... you actually refused?! This is immortality..."

"Immortality my ass!"

Lu Yuan sneered and waved his hand.

"If I slaughter all of you disgusting squids, won't your supplies, secret medicines, and technology all be mine anyway?!"

"Red Wolf Army, hear my command!"

"Chop up this fat sheep for me!"

"All forces, decamp! Target: Zone 777 Core Base. Plunder them clean for me!!!"
