Chapter 903, Chapter 898: The Difficult Problem
“Death,” D17 said, looking at the creature opposite him.

The figures that had been charging like hunting dogs suddenly seemed to lose all their strength, and then crashed into the walls on either side of her like rags being thrown, completely losing all movement.

Then, the corpses of these ancient lizard-like creatures began to dissolve rapidly, and something imperceptible to the naked eye spread from their bodies, continuously propagating in the air.

"Keep the formation." Li Tinglan, who was hiding behind D17, turned around and looked at the other survivors following behind them.

Not long ago, their special operations team had more than thirty people, but now only a few members equipped with advanced internal filtration systems are still alive, while those who relied solely on protective gear to protect themselves have all become slaves to the fungal organisms.

"How is the situation?" D17 asked.

Li Tinglan replied:

"There is still no signal from B4 to B15. Only the first two areas of Sector C remain. We still haven't been able to track the enemy's movements, and the 'Disinfector' has already been destroyed by the enemy. Perhaps we should retreat."

D17 nodded slightly:

"Then retreat."

trouble.

She had no idea that this opponent was so troublesome and serious. Even though it was impossible for it to harm a single hair on her head, it still relentlessly launched an attack on her.

But in reality, she really couldn't threaten the other party.

This thing called the Supreme Will is one of the few beings in the world that is not afraid of her abilities; it has a consciousness structure that is completely different from that of humanoid beings.

Even the heads of those parasitized individuals are not the true consciousness of the body. To the fungi that parasitize those bodies, what they use to replace the host's head is merely a secondary organ, while their consciousness flows entirely within all the fungi in the host's body.

Even if she directly attacks the heads of those hosts, she cannot completely damage these fungi with low comprehension. After the host dies, they can still spread and parasitize without dying because of her language.

Not to mention the supreme will behind them.

She had tried to attack the other party directly many times in recent days, but none of them had been very effective. Only the first time did the other party quiet down for a few days.

But her opponent quickly found a way to counter her and immediately launched a fierce offensive against her. Even now, she has tried many new counterattacks, but none of them have been particularly effective.

These fungi, however, have already slaughtered many of her precious "companions".

Although she could continue to create more companions through the cloning factory, they had lost many grounds in recent days, and fungal infections were constantly breaking out within them.

If this continues, the other side will eventually infiltrate their cloning factory.

Moreover, with the fall of many factories and warehouses, and the deaths of many comrades, their counterattacks are becoming increasingly weak, and the failure of the "Disinfector" project has dealt them a new and devastating blow.

D17 returned to the portal with his companions:

"Check each other out and prepare to retreat."

Although most of their comrades had died, the remaining company employees were not demoralized. On the contrary, when they heard D17's words, they all showed a triumphant expression.

Normally, she would be happy to see this scene, but at this moment she just couldn't muster any enthusiasm. Their unwavering worship and trust in her seemed quite ironic now.

D17 passed through the portal and returned to the sterilization room with the remaining members.

Instead of staying in the room to wait for the disinfection to take place, she went out first. These fungi posed no threat to her near-perfect body; she was neither afraid of the material or energy attacks of the mission, nor immune to the mental attacks that only beings with souls needed to worry about.

In other words, even if the supreme will with terrifying mental power appeared before her at this moment, it could not cause her any harm. But it was this thing that posed no threat to her that made her feel extremely agitated at this moment.

"You're back safely!" As soon as she opened the door, she saw dozens of her joyful companions standing outside to greet her.

“Although there was a minor problem with this plan,” a cloned biologist immediately said, “our plan is entirely feasible, and this failure is nothing.”

These were meant to be comforting words, but D17 felt inexplicably irritated.

"Shut up!"

Silence fell.

She knew very well that things weren't that simple. A second "Disinfector" couldn't be built in just a few days, and this mishap would have a significant impact on their future plans.

At this moment, Li Tinglan also came out of the disinfection room, and she immediately noticed the abnormality in the situation before her.

"What's wrong?" she asked softly.

D17 sighed, then said to his companions in front of him:
"You don't need to shut up."

This is also the downside of their unconditional love for her; sometimes, even when she treats these people she controls with the worst attitude, they don't feel any resentment or dissatisfaction.

This often gave her the urge to throw a tantrum, but whenever she thought about doing so, the pre-implanted knowledge in her mind would tell her how foolish it was.

Then, those who "love" her will quickly take action to quell her anger.

And to be honest, she enjoys being comforted more than indulging in a fit of temper.

But she couldn't calm down at this moment, because not only was she completely powerless against that supreme will, but things were also developing in a direction she particularly didn't want to see.

She knew very well that she had not yet fully mastered the powerful force within her body, and that the other party could not harm her. In other words, given enough time, she would eventually find a way to deal with it.

Even if we can't kill that supreme will, we can at least repel it and prevent it from ever reaching out to our territory and possessions again, which is not difficult to do on the production line of the Eastern Federation Pharmaceutical Company.

The only problem is time.

"Can we get it done in time?" she asked with some concern.

Li Tinglan knew what she was talking about, and a serious expression appeared on her face:

"We've lost our most important intermediate processing plant, so unless we can retake it within the next few days, it will be difficult for us to meet his demands..."

"Even if we go all out, it won't help. Although we might be able to buy some time and then take back the intermediate processing plant, this situation could repeat itself..."

"Perhaps we should discuss this with him."

Upon hearing this, D17's face immediately showed resistance and disgust:

"do not want!"

But just seconds after she said that, D17 seemed to have thought of something and spoke up again:
"Ok."
