It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

At this time, Marvin Branagh, the leader of the investigation team in Lanxiang City, also noticed this restaurant that looked very familiar. However, he also noticed Kevin in the EMMO state, so he said nothing and went into the restaurant alone to investigate.

As soon as he walked in, he saw a very handsome guy standing behind the nostalgic counter. He raised his finger and pointed at him, and exclaimed with the excitement of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land": "Fuck! You... Marvin Branagh!"

"You are..." Marvin frowned, trying hard to recall whether he knew the handsome guy in front of him.

Don't wrongly accuse him. It's understandable that Marvin couldn't recognize his former lifesaver. There's no way. After all, his body is new. His height has dropped from 196 to 190, and his figure has changed from a super big guy to a normal strong man. Especially he was extremely shameless and changed his face to a replica of Zun Long. If he could recognize Boss Cheng the first time they met again, the main control should intervene to investigate whether there is something wrong with this world.

"Me!" Boss Cheng continued to say to Marvin excitedly, "The one who opened a restaurant and apartment in the south of Raccoon City! The one who gave you the idea to pick up money from the bank! The one who stayed in Raccoon City and was bombed by a nuclear bomb!"

However, just when the boss mentioned banks, money and nuclear bombs, Kevin and his partner happened to walk into the hotel.

As a result, Kevin burst into tears with a loud "wow".

Marvin, who had already guessed the boss's identity, quickly made a "shut up" gesture to the boss, and the boss had to shut up decisively. Crossbones Bullock, who was watching the American TV series "Cougar Town", turned around and stared at Kevin who was howling with a confused look on his face.

"Hey, man! Why are you crying so sadly?" Brock came to Kevin with a familiar look, "I found a few big sisters with nice figures around here. Since the boss knows you two, I'll take you out to have some fun..."

"puff!"

"Break!"

As soon as the boss who jumped out of the counter landed, Brock passed through the store door and flew to the main road of Lanxiang City.

"How dare you call yourself Crossbones? I think you should just change your name to Crossbones!"

"Fxxk! Boss! I was almost run over by a car just now!"

"It's fine if you're crushed to death. I can just throw your body to Orochimaru!"

"Come on, man! Is it my fault that I'm capable? Is it wrong that I'm fierce? Is it wrong that I have strong needs..."

"If there is a strong demand, estrogen can be injected. Those who have undergone circumcision know this."

"I..." Brock sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I'm going to find Rogers and Barnes to release the extra energy."

Crossbones left to seek advice from Captain America and the Winter Soldier. After seeing Crossbones go to the backyard, Marvin told the boss, "After the nuclear explosion, some of us returned to the ruins of Raccoon City. But we didn't find your store. It turned back into a parking lot and an empty lot."

"As you can see!" Boss Cheng spread his hands. "In fact, my store has been disconnected from your world for four years. I only reconnected here a few days ago and moved the store here. And the day after the reconnection, I encountered the terrible thing of a biological attack in the distant city."

At the same time, Kevin, who had just experienced a brief PTSD attack, returned to normal. As if the one crying just now was not himself but someone else, Kevin came to the counter and looked at the boss's new look with curiosity.

"Is your technology so advanced? Not only can you do plastic surgery, but you can also do body shape and height?"

"It's not as complicated as you think." Boss Cheng replied Kevin: "I just changed into a mass-produced body as a temporary emergency measure. My original body had some minor life-threatening problems, so I look like this."

But in fact, after the boss's explanation, it seems that his technology has been advanced to the point of breaking through the sky! After all, even the body can be replaced, and the face is so stylish...

As the conversation continued, the boss learned about the chaos that had occurred in the world since the destruction of Raccoon City. Marvin also introduced the establishment of BSAA to the boss, as well as some interesting stories in the process, including the name "Cheng Tianyan" appearing in the signature of the founder of BSAA.

"Eh? There's me too!"

"Although this was a decision made by everyone, if it weren't for you, the boss, we might have lost the independence of BSAA in order to raise funds."

"So I also became the founder of BSAA?"

Kevin corrected him, "Not only is he the initiator, he's also the honorary chairman!"

"This time it should be a truly honorary position, right?"

"Is there any honorary position that is not in vain?" Kevin asked again.

Then, Kevin saw the hotel staff nodding in unison.

That afternoon, the culprit of the Lanxiang Walled City attack was arrested. Do you remember the "real estate developers who settled in the Walled City" mentioned by the two unemployed social brothers? The hunters were their "masterpiece" inside the Walled City.

No one knew which genius came up with the land acquisition plan for them. Since the real estate developers couldn’t acquire land in the walled city area, this real estate company actually bought hunters from the black market and actually released the hunters into the walled city!

The plan of these geniuses is quite simple - since the land acquisition problem cannot be solved, then get rid of the people who caused the problem. These daring guys plan to use biological weapons to kill more than 5 people in the walled city, and take this opportunity to turn the walled city into a no-man's land, so as to reduce the unit price of land in the walled city and the difficulty of "land acquisition".

But these idiots never considered that if their plan really succeeded, and these 5 zombies roamed into Lanxiang, the entire city of Lanxiang might turn into a living hell because of their stupidity. By then, let alone whether anyone would buy a house, it was not certain whether there would be any living people in the entire city of Lanxiang!

"No, are these people stupid?"

"Correction!" Ma Wen cursed, "They are not just ordinary idiots, but a group of idiots who have money, courage, ideas, channels, and execution, but they are just big idiots without brains!"

Kevin shrugged and said helplessly: "But there is obviously someone else behind this big idiot."

"Was he silenced?" asked the boss.

Marvin and Kevin both nodded.

"He died in the police station less than two hours after being arrested. The autopsy results are not out yet, but it is probably heart failure or respiratory failure." (Ricin or tetrodotoxin)

"Where's the body?" the boss asked. "Is the brain of the body intact?"

"No."

"That's easy!" the boss requested, "Please notify the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy to help remove the deceased's complete brain and spinal cord, and then send them here fresh on ice! My research team here can help you and pry the truth out of the dead man's mouth!"

Marvin and Kevin immediately exclaimed: "Boss, can you revive the dead?"

"What resurrection? There's no need to revive a trivial matter like prying words. Just give the person an electric current and a shot of nutrient solution to keep the brain active."

This was a piece of cake for the scientists from the academy who had joined their boss. After all, these were a bunch of lunatics who could use the human brain as a living CPU. It was a piece of cake to get some data out of the brain of a recently dead person!

An hour later, the boss returned to the restaurant with an M.2 SSD and a piece of fresh human brain. The BSAAs were stunned when they received the 460GB "resource".

"By the way, what is this high-tech chipset?"

0371 Not as good as imagined

马文他们撤走了，并且是带着M.2的固态硬盘和一台不知道谁淘汰下来的13900K+GTX750主机一起走的。其实这台机器上的显卡本来是“高达39999块”的RTX4090，并且CPU本身也自带核显。

But the people who need to use this machine are from 2004, and HDMI2.1, DP2.1 and TypeC Thunderbolt interface are too advanced for them. So the boss can only find this 12-year-old "first-hand high-performance" graphics card from a local second-hand merchant on Xianyu.

Although HDMI was released in 2003, it was not installed on computer monitors at this critical moment in 2004. Moreover, the boss was not sure whether the 2.1 interface could output video signals normally to 1.0 devices, so he had to replace the computer with a second-hand computer card. After all, the butt of this thing still had the "old-fashioned" VGA and DVI interfaces.

Fortunately, the computer is still running Win10. If people in 2004 were asked to use Win2024 in 11, this behavior would not only be inhumane, but even insane.

No one wants to restart the computer and then the shortcut icon on the desktop will appear in the Recycle Bin. No one wants to use the computer and then the page will suddenly switch to something else.

But before leaving, Marvin left a message for Boss Cheng: "Remember that kid Leon?"

"The one with the side parting who chases after the female agent and tries to please her?"

Upon hearing the answer, Marvin first frowned and sniffed, then complained: "Come on, how can you remember this kind of thing so clearly? If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even remember the Asian female agent!"

"So I'm not mistaken."

Marvin nodded and told his boss, "Yes, you remember it right. It was the young man with a side-parted hair. Because of his last name, although we don't know if he is related to that top family, his last name is Kennedy after all! So it's normal for a guy with his last name to be noticed by the federal high-ranking officials. And the young man back then has now become an investigator directly under the White House.

He seems to have encountered some problems recently, but because of the sensitivity of our BSAA identity, the Federation has been on guard against us. So I only know that the guy is in trouble. As for what kind of trouble, he is not convenient to say, and it is even more inconvenient for me to ask. Boss, you are just a restaurant owner. If you have time, you can give him a call and ask him if he needs to order food service. "

Then, the boss picked a relatively safe time and, using the contact information Marvin left, used a public phone to contact Leon, who had just woken up.

"What af..."

It is interesting to say that Fentou (Leon) is not too familiar with Boss Cheng, but they have a life-long friendship. It can even be said that the boss has saved his life more than once. So even though Boss Cheng's call seems very abrupt and confusing. But Boss Cheng, who disappeared for 6 years and suddenly appeared, made Fentou inexplicably feel a sense of crisis that "the world is going to be in trouble."

Wait!

There seems to be no causal relationship between "even if" and "but".

But Fentou just felt this sense of crisis that had nothing to do with it!

"Trouble? I have trouble too. But I do have to go on a business trip recently."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm in Fu Lao Village, Gou Long District, Lanxiang. If you have any problems that need to be solved, come to me."

Is Lyon in trouble?

Of course it happened! The daughter of the great President Amei was kidnapped at the school gate. This is even more incredible than the President rolling down the stairs when getting off the plane. It is as outrageous as the President and his own son's hobby is to fuck little boys.

And Leon happened to be transferred to the command of the President some time ago, from a direct agent of the White House to a direct agent of the President of Amerika. So when the daughter of the President was kidnapped in Amerika and taken to Spain, the kidnapping case that was close to scandal naturally fell on Leon's head.

Shortly after……

"Ingrid, can you help me look up this address?"

Lyon reported the boss's address to Ingrid Hanigan, an intelligence officer of the White House Secret Service. Hanigan replied to Lyon as soon as she found the information, saying that it was a cheap box restaurant that had just opened a few days ago. However, the information about the restaurant was limited to this. As for who the owner was, where he came from, and the business situation, there was no information at all.

"But two days ago, a biological and chemical attack occurred near this address. Many citizens took refuge in this hotel for a short time. The owner and employees of this hotel even took the initiative to walk on the street to help guide the fleeing people. They are a very brave group of people."

"Thank you, Ingrid."

Leon was sure that the person who called him was undoubtedly Boss Cheng himself. Because the boss's behavior in Lanxiang was almost the same as that in Raccoon City. They both took the initiative to accept survivors or refugees, and took to the streets. However, Leon did not think that the boss went out to divert the crowd. He was more willing to believe that the guy was going to eliminate the crisis itself.

But Leon was also worried. He was afraid that the guy would instigate someone else to make a big move. After all, when the two sides met, his former colleagues just happened to "return from Desheng". And the restaurant owner was the initiator and planner of that "scavenging operation".

"Please help me change my schedule, Ingrid. I need to go to Lanxiang first to meet an old acquaintance there. Then I will go to Madrid from Lanxiang."

"Old acquaintance?" Ingrid asked curiously.

"Yeah, a survivor who doesn't exist on the list of survivors in Raccoon City."

"Could he be the legendary..."

"Yes, he is the legendary first hero of Raccoon City." Leon told Ingrid with a smile: "If it weren't for that man, Raccoon City wouldn't have so many survivors now."

A day later, Leon boarded a plane to Lanxiang, and when he was drowsy in the chair of the business class, his boss was squeezed in the crowd of the completion ceremony, watching a group of UEG bosses pretending to push open the door of the super-time and space transportation hub.

To be honest, given the weight of the door, not to mention the 29 people pushing it, even 299 people might not be able to push the two doors that were strong enough to withstand space shock. So these people just went up there for the sake of formality and put on a show. Standing in the audience, Boss Cheng was even thinking about whether he should do something bad in secret and ask the technical department to stop the motor that controlled the door.

These idiots who don’t let the boss get on stage are dying of exhaustion!

This is also the reason why there are only 29 people performing in front of the camera, instead of a full 30.

The reason why they didn't let Boss Cheng take the stage is also very simple, because in his current state, Boss Cheng is not only shameless, but also not human. You have to know that the image of the UNSC Space Fleet Marshal has always been a majestic and majestic horse-catching man. Although the Marshal is sometimes bald and sometimes kiwi, no matter how his hairstyle changes, he can't become a super handsome guy who is "handsomer than Daniel Wu" in an instant.

(John Lone is more handsome than Daniel Wu.)

The world can accept a bald, muscular man who is 196cm tall and weighs 124kg as the universe marshal. But the males with normal sexual orientation in the world find it difficult to accept a handsome guy commanding the universe fleet. He is rich, good at fighting, has a large army, and is handsome enough to attract girls. It is impossible for him to take all the benefits in the world!

Furthermore, once the rumor that "the Marshal of the Universe can change his body at will" gets out, combined with the netizens' ability to spread rumors, who knows what kind of trouble UEG might cause!

And most importantly, the digital life faction in the folks is becoming more and more active. And a part of the conservatives in the digital life faction has just separated from the original faction and became an independent artificial life faction. Of course, they have another more familiar name on the Internet - the mechanical ascension faction!

It just so happens that the current Boss Cheng is exactly the ultimate pursuit of the mechanical ascension faction!

But UEG is very clear that once the mechanical ascension faction becomes the mainstream among the people, it will be hard to say what direction the future of mankind will take!

That’s right, it’s “can’t say for sure”, not a positive or negative answer. In fact, even after learning that the boss had changed to a “temporary body”, UEG has been studying whether to put the biochemical prosthesis into practical use.

After all, with the current technological development speed on Earth, biochemical prostheses are no longer a fantasy. Instead, they are within reach, and there is no need to wait for occasional technological breakthroughs. Just continue to develop and you can achieve technological results in a short period of time.

"In fact, the core issue of whether biochemical prostheses can be promoted is not whether they will affect the future development direction of mankind, nor whether this technology violates traditional human values ​​and ethics, nor the cost of research and development and manufacturing of the technology."

Zhou Zhezhi sighed helplessly, then asked his boss: "You should understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand." The boss also shook his head. "What really troubles you is that after the crisis breaks out, UEG does not need so many people as it does now."

Ⅴ.Ⅱ.Ⅵ.Ⅵ.Ⅴ.Ⅱ.Ⅱ.Ⅴ.Ⅰ.

“β-027需要15亿农业人口，移山计划启动后的世界只需要最多30亿人来维持世界的运转。但现在……妈的，总人口数已经突破84.4亿了！（2021到2026）五年！只用了五年！人口就从78.88亿增长到了84.4亿！

Even after the establishment of UEG and the public disclosure of the Solar Crisis, the entire world except East Asia has ushered in a wave of pregnancy peaks! At the current rate of population growth, the world population may be 2030 billion around 90! The pressure of food production reduction is increasing, how can we feed 90 billion people? "

"But within the next 10 years, the environmental population carrying capacity of β-027 cannot exceed 5 million people."

“是啊。”周喆直承认道：“10年以内，β-027能完成完全的自给自足，就已经是天大的喜讯了。想用一个β-027养活全世界的人，至少需要30年的努力。可农业专家和气候专家却预计人类粮食的总产量将会以每年4%到5%的幅度持续下滑。”

“When will the harvest be completely gone?”

"The braking era." Zhou Zhezhi replied: "When the braking era comes and the rotation of the earth gradually slows down and stops, outdoor agriculture and animal husbandry will be completely destroyed. If we cannot solve the problem of food supply before then, we will have to abandon part of the population."

“But by the time a large-scale food crisis breaks out, it will be too late, so before that, what is the UEG’s opinion?”

"Leaders of some countries have strongly suggested that in the next 40 years, the human population should enter a new round of self-optimization and self-elimination."

"To put it bluntly, it's just selection based on wealth, allowing the rich to survive and leaving the poor to fend for themselves."

Zhou Zhezhi nodded and said, "So we firmly oppose it."

"but?"

"Yes, but we agree to give up the group of people with low desire to survive, those who give up on themselves, and those who pursue free souls."
