"Speak, who are you?" In a room temporarily cleared within the Mobile Base, Chen Xin looked at the captured Oleg and his subordinates, with a leisurely deanor, and asked them.
"We are..." Oleg had no intention of resisting and was about to confess his identity.
However, before he could speak, a young man next to him jumped up first and shouted at Chen Xin, "We won’t say anything! Don’t think you can get a word from us!"
The young man’s fierce actions naturally drew the rciless suppression from the Fla Country soldiers standing by, who slamd him directly onto the table, his face nearly deforming from the pressure of the exoskeleton-equipped soldier.
This scene made Oleg extrely embarrassed and helpless, while Chen Xin looked at these two people reacting so differently, showing a look of interest.
Chen Xin waved his hand, signaling the soldier to release the young man, then turned to Oleg and asked, "Speak, who are you?"
Chen Xin repeated the question he had just asked.
This ti, the young man wanted to say sothing again, but was held back by Oleg, who himself candidly told Chen Xin, "We are from the revolutionary army, we’re just here to see what’s going on, there’s no ill intent! It’s all a misunderstanding!"
"Uncle Oleg?!" The young man looked at Oleg with disbelief, seeming surprised at how this usually brave and steadfast uncle would have no backbone and reveal everything.
"Shut up, there’s nothing unspeakable here!" Oleg scolded the young man and then respectfully said to Chen Xin, "We’re not official spies, we just heard strange noises here, so we ca to check it out, really no harm intended.
Moreover, we have to thank you for helping us. If it weren’t for you Fla Country people treating those infected, we might all be sick by now."
Chen Xin noticed that as Oleg spoke, he deliberately winked at him.
"Not official spies? Hmm, the way you look does indeed seem unlike spies." Chen Xin nodded playfully and then said, "Alright, since you’re not spies, I won’t make things difficult for you. Take this young man and get sothing to eat, judging from the way he looks, he probably hasn’t had a proper al lately, has he?"
Upon hearing there was food, the expression on the young man’s face showed obvious wavering. Although he still wanted to firmly refuse, the hunger in his stomach quickly broke down his will to resist.
With a sowhat reluctant but embarrassed attitude, he followed the Fla Country soldier out of the room and was taken to the cafeteria.
After the young man left, Chen Xin put away the smile on his face and looked at Oleg in front of him, and at this mont, Oleg’s expression also beca much more serious. Although still respectful, he no longer showed that rugged appearance, rather displaying a sharp look.
"So... you’re with the KGB?" Chen Xin looked at Oleg and asked him.
Oleg did not admit it, just gave a barely noticeable nod.
Chen Xin understood his attitude but didn’t say much, just talking to himself, "So you’re here to monitor us? Because the revolutionary army’s leadership suspects we’re experinting with so powerful weapon?"
"We truly have no ill intent, the revolutionary army leadership doesn’t suspect you’re experinting with powerful weapons, we’re just here to have a look." Oleg remained flawlessly discreet, but his expression seed to openly suggest he was speaking in reverse.
Chen Xin naturally grasped his aning but didn’t find it strange, having learned about this matter from Lucia’s leader previously, so it was no surprise to have soone spying during his experints.
As for the revolutionary army’s suspicion that they were researching so powerful weapon, Chen Xin could only smile at that thought.
The Weather Controller is considered a teorological weapon. In terms of sheer power, it may not be highly lethal, but its impact scope and consequences far exceed most weapons mankind possesses, with perhaps only nuclear weapons standing as its match.
In fact, if Chen Xin weren’t aiming to change the Blue Planet’s overall climate and let humanity see the sun again by researching the Weather Controller, but instead intended it as a powerful weapon, he could have already used it to kill everyone in Lucia Capital.
Of course, the facts remain, but Chen Xin didn’t feel obligated to explain to the revolutionary army, nor did their misunderstanding and hostility bother him; rather, he thought the people from Lucia were simply ungrateful.
At this mont, their survival largely depended on Fla Country’s aid to Lucia, whether dical treatnt or food, or refuge construction.
If Fla Country were to cut off aid to Lucia or even agree to cooperate with the official forces to crush the revolutionary army, these people would have no chance of survival.
Yet, instead of being grateful, they were full of hostility, rejection, and suspicion towards Fla Country, which made Chen Xin quite uncomfortable.
If he hadn’t considered their survival bringing him continued resource points, he would’ve already had Lucia’s official forces completely deal with these so-called revolutionary forces.
As the person in charge of Fla Country’s aid to Lucia, Chen Xin held considerable authority, and if he wished, he could completely cut off all resources to the revolutionary army, or even further collaborate with the officials to suppress the revolutionary army wasn’t impossible.
Only after seriously considering it did Chen Xin refrain from taking such actions.
But evidently, his mood wasn’t good, he gloomily told Oleg, "I don’t care whether the revolutionary army has ill intent, your act of peeking at our secret experints can be seen as a provocation against our country and theft of confidential technology. I hope this is the last ti, and there won’t be a next ti, otherwise... don’t bla for being rude to you."
Chen Xin isn’t soone accustod to making threats, so his words were relatively mild, lacking apparent lethal force.
But Oleg was no ordinary revolutionary who knew nothing; he clearly understood the significant deterrent beneath Chen Xin’s seemingly moderate words.
If those foolish revolutionary forces intended to use force against Fla Country or continue provocation, Oleg knew very well, even without official intervention, just the power of Fla Country’s people in Lucia Capital could easily crush the entire revolutionary army.
With this in mind, he hastily promised, "I assure you there won’t be a next ti!"
As for how effective this promise would be, Chen Xin neither agreed nor disagreed, rely shook his head without saying much, evidently not optimistic about Oleg’s promise.
