Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Military Strength_1

Song Lan felt that there was probably no mutant creature easier to maintain than the "Devourer," as it was able to accomplish the impressive feat once done by Bard Chun-Simple-Rakytz Mr.

And indeed, Song Lan had seen more than once in the news how the local residents of District Seventeen complained about the backwardness of their waste management, especially after a series of recent upheavals, no one was willing to manage the mountains of garbage piling up at the border, which received an endless stream of domestic and electronic waste daily.

The appearance of the "Devourer" could even improve the living environment of the people in District Seventeen to some extent.

But that alone was far from enough.

"Devourers" were extremely dangerous creatures, and if left to develop freely, they could become a hidden danger anywhere, but fortunately, the Barrosa Group and Mr. Scarecrow had set a good example for them by proving, with their actions, that when "Devourers" possessed enough intelligence, they too would make choices.

Intelligence is a wonderful thing; it can free mutant creatures from the drive of instinct and even achieve harmonious coexistence with their environment.

So, how could this "Devourer" be endowed with greater intelligence?

The answer, of course, is to strengthen its theoretical learning, and the first lesson was to understand the importance of sustainable development—it had to understand that establishing a good harmonious coexistence with the residents of District Seventeen was also beneficial to its own development.

However, this would undoubtedly be a long-term learning process, and their current goal was to help the "Devourer" settle down in the landfill at the border of District Seventeen.

Although the process was somewhat convoluted, Song Lan ultimately achieved his goal, and Medea also agreed to join this newly established organization, as it was all advantage and no disadvantage to her, especially since Song Lan promised her that as long as she stayed in District Seventeen, the claws of Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical could not threaten her.

Ge Fu once again demonstrated his potential to become a mad scientist.

Despite being quite startled by the giant worms sticking their heads out of the trash pile when he first met his two new colleagues, in less than ten minutes, he had become fast friends with them. Lately, he even moved the important equipment from his shop to the landfill one by one, ambitiously planning to combine the worms’ characteristics with the endless electronic waste to create a defense system that blends flesh and machinery.

The most astonished of all these days were the folks at Kolo Film and Television Media.

Knowing Su Li’s past, just when they were about to conclude that he couldn’t change his ways, Su Li almost had a moment of enlightenment, earnestly throwing himself into the fight against crime. For this cause, he even personally visited the local Law Enforcers department every noon to discuss various local criminal cases with Lu Xiang.

He had almost completely immersed himself in the role of a "concerned citizen."

Of course, Su Li’s daily visits to Lu Xiang’s office were a learning requirement set by Song Lan.

Like Scarecrow, Su Li’s current state after being parasitized by parasites allowed him to maintain his original autonomous consciousness most of the time, while sharing the same mind with the Queen’s Nest.

As a result, the theoretical knowledge learned by Su Li would be delivered unaltered to the Queen’s Nest.

Lu Xiang could never have dreamed that one day she would become a teacher for mutant creatures, yet this had become part of the core job of Law Enforcers in maintaining peace in District Seventeen.

Among the citizens of District Seventeen, the emergence of a group of mutant creatures treated as citizens is unprecedented in the history of the United Government, making her feel that the city was becoming increasingly fantastical.

She wondered if one day even the Death God Crabs would need to register for residency.

To this, Song Lan explained that this was the duty of the Bug Swarm leader.

But if you look at the issue from another angle, the addition of Ge Fu, Medea, Horn Bug, and the "Devourer" opened up the possibility of establishing a military force in District Seventeen.

Since its establishment, the city had no tradition of having a military presence, with Law Enforcers, the border inspection department, and the private security of large enterprises being the entire armed force of the city.

She was well aware that if war broke out, all these forces combined wouldn’t make up a complete unit, not to mention that the security companies with stronger armed forces were obviously unreliable; their only job during a war would be to help executives from big enterprises evacuate.

If it were possible to establish a harmonious coexistence with these mutant creatures as advocated by Song Lan, then that would undoubtedly be a new approach.

Now, with the joint efforts of Ge Fu, Medea, and the Queen’s Nest, "Infected No. I" had been born.

On the surface, it appeared to be a defense robot constructed from scrap metal, even less promising than decommissioned military robots of the United Government, but based on the characteristics of the Queen’s Nest, Ge Fu and Medea equipped "Infected No. I" with parasitic warheads.

This was a weapon that could fire the flesh and blood tissue of the Queen’s Nest as bullets; although the bullets had limited destructive power, once someone was hit, the Queen’s Nest’s thoughts would be infused into the target’s brain.

"Listen to me, being Infected has its own terrifying strength,"

Lu Xiang still remembered how enthusiastic Ge Fu had been when introducing "Infected No. I." That overwhelming fervor in his voice, along with the bloodshot eyes from a lack of sleep, made it hard not to suspect that he might have some underlying mental issues.

The Queen’s Nest seemed to have now become an armory, continually transforming the electronic waste from the trash heap into autonomously patrolling robots.

For this matter, she had even made a special trip to meet with the person in charge of the garbage dump, assuring them not to panic and claiming these were robots funded and researched by the Law Enforcers department.

Indeed, ever since the two of them and the Horn Bug moved into the garbage dump, they no longer had to pay for research and development since they could always find the raw materials they needed amidst the vast amounts of electronic waste.

According to Ge Fu’s last work report, they had recently started researching "Infected Turrets."

Military force.

Although it sounded absurd, as a regional director of the Law Enforcers, she had indeed started working on building local military forces.

The only thing that bothered her was that Song Lan was only responsible for recruitment, and after that, he would just lie on the sofa in his office and watch movies on his tablet, not caring about anything else.

"Song Lan, come here for a moment,"

That afternoon, after Su Li had completed his scheduled theoretical studies, Lu Xiang called over Song Lan, who was lying on the sofa with a tablet watching a movie.

"What’s up?"

"Su Li is facing a problem over there. Come on, talk to him about it."

Upon hearing this, Su Li nodded and said, "That’s right, the film crew has been having trouble casting lately, especially with finding someone to play the villain, Chai Ke."

For a superhero-themed movie, a superb villain was tantamount to injecting a soul into the film, so casting became particularly important.

The main reason for the slow progress was partly because they couldn’t find someone who matched the temperament of an outstanding villain, and partly because after the crew closely studied Chai Ke, the local underground emperor, they were surprised to find that he looked more like the type of character who would die off after just one episode.

At least from the photos of Chai Ke, it was hard to imagine him infusing the movie with a soul.

"I roughly understand, but what does this have to do with me?"

"According to my analysis, Boss, you are undoubtedly the best choice."

Su Li was convinced that, from a genetic standpoint, no one’s temperament matched an infamous villain better than Song Lan. He was the kind of person who could instinctively evoke fear in any living being.

And from what it had accessed of the memories, the underground emperor of District Seventeen had indeed died at Song Lan’s hands.

Lu Xiang also chimed in, "Wasn’t it your dream to become an actor before? This is a great opportunity."

?

Their harmonious coordination took Song Lan completely by surprise.

"You want me to audition for the role of a villain?"

The idea of auditioning wasn’t bad in itself, but once it got associated with the name Chai Ke, he subtly felt offended.

Good grief, Chai Ke was actually him?
