Chapter 1199: Chapter 989: Fully Prepared

Days went by one after another, and the mutation gradually morphed from a sudden major event to common knowledge accepted by most people.

The flow of life maintained its steady pace, as if something had changed, yet it was hardly noticeable.

The Review Meeting, from its initial outrage and anticipation, had come to disappointment.

Led by Zero, the Newborn generation did not stop in their tracks. The tide they had stirred grew fiercer.

Gradually, people began to seriously consider the terms proposed by Zero, resembling Pandora’s Box; once open even slightly, it becomes impossible to close again.

It was a tough decision.

The reforms proposed by the Newborn generation encompassed shifts in the current economic situation and resource allocation, categorizing the annual expenses for new drug development, aimed at extending their lifespans, as unnecessary expenditures. Cutting funds from this area could immediately enhance employee benefits and social welfare.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are processes that every person must go through; consuming a vast amount of human and material resources for the lives of a few is an unworthy trade-off.

However, for those aged over 150 years, this reform undoubtedly signified a deferred death sentence for them.

In recent years, the research projects in biopharmaceuticals had hit a bottleneck, failing to develop new technologies, plunging each of them into profound anxiety. The drugs and biotechnologies currently possessed only maintained their status quo, allowing them to palpably feel their vitality waning, each day bringing them closer to death.

Once the research on this project ceased, even under the most optimistic scenario, they would have less than five years left.

What’s more, they knew that the changes spurred by Zero would not stop there.

Each day they awoke, they could still see the commercial Empire they had built flourishing, in stark contrast to their dwindling vitality, potentially reaching new heights under the leadership of the Newborns.

But at the same time, they could see the Empire that was rightfully theirs, falling step by step into the hands of others.

The more one possesses, the more one fears the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

Yet, all of this had become an inevitable reality.

The existence of linked consciousness rendered the Review Meeting utterly powerless, as the companies and families no longer needed to heed any directives that came from their gatherings.

Using Zero’s words, their contributions to the United Government would not be erased. Though the flow of resources was stopped, if they did not make trouble, she and her team would ensure they spent their remaining years in relative tranquility.

More unbearable to them than their lives dimming was to watch helplessly as their Empire became the spoils of others.

Zero, the Newborns, or even those who operate behind the scenes and control everything, never showing their faces to anyone—the Black Hand.

And all of this was ultimately blamed on Song Lan.

This man’s actions had proven to everyone just how unreliable he was.

When Zero launched the rebellion, he was at home experimenting with new recipes.

When Zero removed all obstacles from the Review Meeting, seizing control of both companies and families, the remaining intelligence personnel caught images of him leisurely bicycling to the supermarket for groceries.

And now, on this dawn of a settled situation, reliable sources suggested that Mr. Song Lan was sleeping in at his home bedroom.

This was because Zero had granted them a month-long holiday after meeting with the H1, the kind that came with paid leave.

Infuriatingly, no matter when or how they approached Song Lan, he would invariably tell them seriously that he was taking the matter seriously and that he had achieved stage-wise results.

Through his connections with Lu Xiang in the Counter-Intelligence Department, he had learned a shocking secret—the person who had been serving as Zero’s bodyguard all along was none other than the former Six Stars rescuer, Wild Bone!

This was truly astonishing!

After a whole week of investigation and planning, this bastard finally uncovered the intelligence they had informed him of from the first day!

Recently, the Councilors had decreased the number of meetings with Song Lan.

They had less than five years of life left, and they could distinctly feel that their limited lifespan was greatly shortened by any increase in the frequency of meetings with Song Lan.

A few days ago, the founder of military technology ended up in ICU after being infuriated by Song Lan in a meeting.

Now, some suspected that Song Lan had long been bought by Zero, or perhaps he was the very Black Hand who had never appeared in public.

The game was over.

No matter how indignant they felt inside, it was to no avail; they had lived through the Third War and witnessed the world reorganize from chaos. They had step by step molded the world into what they desired, understanding better than anyone the rule of the victor.

From the perspective of history, they were individuals rejected by the new tide of the age.

Even the companions by their side had changed.

From those selected since their youth, the ones who regarded them as deities, to the "informers" Zero had planted among them, their servants continued to attend them meticulously. However, every time they opened their eyes each day, they felt as though someone was choking them.
