If General Xiao Li'ao were a martial artist, he would be astonished by the abilities Lin Yao was displaying. Even a Heavenly-level expert wouldn't be able to achieve this level of "sound transmission" from such a distance and in such complex terrain, making it sound like a face-to-face conversation. In such a complex environment and at such a distance, even someone like Pei Tianzong, who is known as the number one Heavenly-level expert in the country, could at most use the energy of heaven and earth to transmit a somewhat distorted sound to this office after determining the location in advance. He wouldn't even be able to completely control the range within this room, and the effect wouldn't be so high-fidelity. Only Xiao Cao could do it so casually and naturally.
"It's Lin Yao. It's not appropriate for you to report the situation here. If there's anything, tell General Xia Chengwu. I will definitely take your opinion seriously."
General Xiao Li'ao did not grant Lin Yao's request for a meeting. Although the other party was a master, in terms of personal position, Lin Yao was just an ordinary citizen. As the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, he could not arbitrarily listen to and adopt the opinions of an ordinary person regarding matters concerning the military and the country. If it was about information collection, it would be more in line with procedure to have General Xia Chengwu relay the message.
Most importantly, the voices supporting the super-gene warrior program are growing stronger. Even the United States, which had previously held a conservative attitude, has reopened the super-gene warrior program again under the stimulation of its arch-enemies Cuba, Libya, Iran, and Iraq, as well as the Basic Organization, an enemy that is not a state. This is because the United States has been so harassed by the fearless terrorist attacks from enemy countries and hostile forces that it is unable to give up the program.
In the United States' experience, the most effective force in dealing with lawless and inhuman terrorists has been super-genetic soldiers. If special police or special forces are deployed, these terrorists cannot be eradicated, and the United States often suffers huge losses, which will inevitably affect ordinary people in society, thus putting great pressure on the current government.
However, if super-genetic soldiers are deployed, not only will the terrorists be wiped out, but there will also be no social impact. Therefore, the parliament and the cabinet have no choice but to continue the gene-engineering program, even though information from the United States indicated that scientists and researchers did not trust super-genetic soldiers. This still prompted the government to accept and continue the program.
With this analogy, the military's voice in passing the resolution grew louder. Vice Chairman Xiao, who had been somewhat persuaded by General Xia, naturally could no longer meet with Lin Yao at will. He even began to doubt the terrifying prospects described by Lin Yao. Scientists all over the world had not found the crux of the problem, so how could Lin Yao be so capable? Even if you are an angel beyond the times, you cannot influence the decision-making direction of an army and a country simply through prophecy.
With this thought in mind, Vice Chairman Xiao's expression and tone became somewhat perfunctory, which made Xiao Cao feel uneasy.
"Yaoyao, the old man's attitude has turned sour. We're in trouble now. How annoying!"
Little Grass cursed General Xiao Li'ao in Lin Yao's mind like a spoiled child. For a moment, she was at a loss. The more she learned about human knowledge, the more she realized that she had to act in accordance with rules and systems in many cases, otherwise things would not be done well. The world today is no longer like the era of Shi Nian, where the rise and fall of a tribe or even a country could be determined by the will of one person.
"It's alright, let's go. I'll call Grandpa right away and go to Old Master Xiao's house tonight. We absolutely cannot let the resolution pass. This is our country, and we cannot let 'Morning Mist' harm it!"
Lin Yao frowned. He hadn't expected things to become so complicated. Although he hadn't attached his senses to observe General Xiao Li'ao's expression and tone, Xiao Cao wouldn't blame the old man without reason. It seemed that something must have happened.
Lin Yao, who was preoccupied with cultivation and alchemy, was naturally unaware of what was happening in the United States. Even Xiao Cao was focused on assisting Lin Yao in alchemy. If Ge Yong hadn't deliberately inquired, he wouldn't have known about some high-level matters. Even General Xia was deliberately kept in the dark about the changes happening in the United States and other countries because of his relationship with Lin Yao.
They didn't know what the lightning was, and even the cauldron used for alchemy was very mysterious. Xiao Cao dared not be distracted, worried that if she was careless and encountered an emergency, Lin Yao would not be able to control it and would suffer a great loss. Even if she was safe, she could not afford to lose even a little bit of strength, because the threat of "Morning Mist" was getting bigger and bigger. Now, she had to protect herself no matter what.
"Thank you, Major, we're leaving now."
Lin Yao didn't bother to look at the nameplate on the right chest of the major in charge of reception. After a polite greeting, he turned and walked towards the door. Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view, which made even the usually composed Lin Yao pause and carefully examine the person.
The visitor was Luo Shijie, the eldest son of Luo Jichang, Lin Yao's nominal second uncle before severing ties with the Luo family, and his cousin Luo Shijie!
With his buzz cut, white shirt, and tie, Luo Shijie was in excellent spirits, his eyes were bright, and the smile on his lips had the air of a young man who had achieved great success. As soon as he reached the door of the liaison office reception room, he spotted Lin Yao, and the smile on his lips immediately changed from confidence to contempt, a cold glint appearing in his slightly narrowed eyes.
"Oh, isn't this our angelic physician Lin Yaolin! It's a pleasure to meet you! I was wondering why the magpies were chirping so much today, it turns out it's because we're going to meet the angelic physician today."
Although Luo Shijie's words were extremely hostile, his tone was not. The liaison officer, unaware of the relationship between the two, thought they were old acquaintances with a good relationship, just like his father Luo Jichang's hypocrisy and masterful acting skills.
"Major Niu, I wish to visit General Yue. I had an appointment beforehand, please inform him."
After greeting Lin Yao, Luo Shijie didn't wait for Lin Yao's response at all. He immediately walked up to Major Niu, who was in charge of receiving and reporting, and warmly shook hands with him, his attitude even more intimate than when he met Lin Yao.
Lin Yao frowned, glanced at Luo Shijie, and didn't bother to respond to Luo Shijie's greeting. At his level, there was no need for him to be polite or hypocritical. He walked straight out of the military headquarters.
What is Luo Shijie doing at the military headquarters? What is his current status? How can he directly deal with the second-in-command of the military?
Since the Huarentang Group went bankrupt, this cowardly and selfish guy has disappeared from the Lin Yao family's sight. They haven't heard any news about him since, and he didn't even return to the Luo family. Now he has suddenly become someone who can enter and leave the military. It seems that they need to investigate him carefully.

"My dear son-in-law, are you telling the truth?!"
General Xia's beard and eyebrows were all furrowed together. His mouth was open and he couldn't close it for a long time.
Although the small Western-style building in the military region disappeared, another small Western-style building was still allocated to him to live in. The original location of the small Western-style building was transformed into a small underground facility. Because of the transformation by lightning, the sinkhole created by the ultra-high temperature and ultra-high current is of great research value. The military's materials experts strongly requested that the original state be preserved for research. Therefore, that area has become a special research site, and strangers are not allowed to approach.
General Xia then shuttled back and forth between the military compound and "Urban Forest," staying here one day and there the next. Besides growing increasingly fond of his adopted great-grandson, Xiao Guli, he had fewer and fewer opportunities to meet and talk with Lin Yao, and he didn't know much about the situation. However, his life became richer and richer, and his old comrades became more and more enthusiastic towards him. Even some comrades with whom he didn't have a good relationship before frequently invited him to dinner. The vain old general was still happy and cheerful all day long.
Now that he had heard Lin Yao's description and the preliminary research results on the "poisonous man," General Xia was no longer happy. His mood immediately turned sour, and he suddenly stood up from his chair, grabbed Lin Yao's wrist, and walked out the door.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Come with me to Old Master Xiao's place. We must let him know about this immediately; we can't let the resolution pass."
Before Lin Yao could even speak, General Xia immediately thought of going to General Xiao Li'ao's house to do some ideological work. His impatient temper meant he couldn't afford to waste a second, and he didn't care that it was mealtime at other people's houses, or that his own meal was already prepared. He had to see General Xiao as soon as possible.
Thump thump thump!
The door opened, revealing a middle-aged man Lin Yao had never seen before, dressed in a major general's uniform. However, the seriousness in his eyes did not reveal a trace of friendliness, making Lin Yao feel as if he owed him a large sum of money.
