"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me?"

After the few people sat down, Silco lit a cigar and spit out a cigarette ring and asked.

"Silco, have you met that sheriff Marcos before?"

Vander asked.

"Oh, it turns out you are here to seek punishment."

Silco smiled contemptuously, "Yes, I told him that the naughty kids who caused trouble were at your house. But that guy is also a waste. I heard that he didn't catch anyone like this. Humph, you are quite good at hiding things."

"No, I'm not here to argue with you today."

Vander shook his head, "I'm here to cooperate with you."

"cooperate?!"

Silco paused, and then he seemed to hear a huge joke, "Work with you? Vander, I trust you before, but how do you repay my trust?"

As he said that, he stood up, with an angry look on his face, "Do you know the feeling of the wound being immersed in sewage, radiation and blood being mixed with flowing in the body? From that day on, I, who once was, who respected and trusted you, was dead."

"I'm sorry, that's really my fault, and I'm willing to bear any consequences for it."

Vander lowered his head and apologized repeatedly, "I accept everything you want to treat me... But Silco, I have now recognized my mistakes and hope you can give me a chance to make up for it."

“An opportunity to make up for it?”

Silco walked forward and looked at Vander, "Tell me."

"Once we once recklessly hit the bridge, causing countless people who trust us to die for it..."

"That's not reckless, that's courage. They died to fight for their dignity!"

Before Vander could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hilko in anger, "Totally deny our past, is this what you call realizing mistakes?"

"No, no, I mean, it's good to use the determination and courage to resist, but we need something more practical to support it."

Vander quickly explained.

"Oh? Something more practical?"

Silco narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that Vander had discovered the glimmer potion he was developing.

"That's right, something more practical. Our fists alone cannot be valued by Picheng people. They have all kinds of technological weapons, but we used to have nothing. But now it's different..."

Vander took out a Hex crystal from his pocket, "This is what they got from Uptown this time, an ore containing extremely high energy."

"oh?"

Silco stared at the dazzling dark blue gem, his eyes flashing.

"You must have heard that an explosion occurred in a building in Picheng at that time, and it was caused by this gem."

Vander explained, "I suspect that the reason why the people in the upper city chased me so closely this time is probably because they want to retrieve the gem."

"So what do you mean?"

"Since it can cause such a strong explosion, it can naturally make more powerful weapons."

Vander looked at Shirco sincerely, "I know that Dr. Singid is not inferior to the great scientist of the Hemerdinger of the Upper City in your place. If we can master this power, we can have the capital that Upper City has to pay attention to, so as to gain the benefits we deserve for Zuan's children."

Vander's words made Hilco think in the contemplation.

To be honest, this path was exactly the direction he decided to go, but he had no way to get the Hex Gem, so he could only hope for the Glimmer Potion.

This is a strong enhancer with great side effects. Although you can gain strength after taking it, it can also cause terrible mutations.

From a performance perspective, it cannot be compared with Hex Gem.

"So...will you give me this gem?"

After a while, Silco asked.

"It's not for you, but for Dr. Singid."

Vander stressed, "And I have a condition."

"Ha, let's talk."

"This is Bobo and Ike. Both of them have good research talents. I want them to study with Dr. Singid."

Vander pulled out two little guys from behind.

“Surveillance?”

Silco sneered.

"It's not surveillance, it's really just a simple learning. They all have great talents, Silco."

Vander explained, “We are all for Zuan to live better, but we have to admit that Zuan is too far from Picheng now. Even if we find the right direction, it is still unknown when we can really reach the end.

He sighed, "We are not young anymore. If things cannot be completely solved in our hands, we must leave something for the younger generations so that they can move forward more easily, right?"

"A junior..."

Silco looked at the two little guys standing together timidly in front of him, "Well, then go see the doctor with me, I hope they are really talented."

Alchemist Singid, the inventor of the glimmer potion, and Zuan's leading scientist.

When he saw Hex Ore, he couldn't help but exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "Oh, what a pure and violent energy!"

"How about a doctor, how about this thing compared to a glimmer?"

Hilco asked from the side.

"The energy it contains several times the glimmer of light, but because it is too violent, the human body cannot absorb it directly."

Singid said, holding the ore.

"Then find a way to stabilize it."

Araki opened his mouth, "Picheng is doing this, I believe you will not be inferior to them."

"Oh, that's of course."

Scientists are all arrogant, and people like Singid are no exception.

"And I have also found you two disciples, and their talents will never be inferior to those of Hemerdinger's disciples."

Araki pushed Burst and Ike forward.

"Yeah?"

Singid turned his head and glanced at the two of them.

"Then I'll wait and see."

...

...

It is always easy to talk to scientists. As long as they are given valuable and interesting research topics, nothing is a problem.

After leaving Bangbo and Ike in Singid's laboratory, Vander and Hilco returned to the chemical plant.

"Welcome back, Vander."

Hilco said.

"No, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Vander shook his head, "We need the power that can make the city fear, but what we need more is the time for development. If Dr. Xinjid had just obtained the ore and was still early before weapons were produced, Picheng's anger would need someone to calm down."

"What do you mean?" Silco frowned.

"It was my leader that you followed you to attack the bridge, but so many people sacrificed their lives for our ideals, but I am still alive."

Vander's eyes were firm, "This time, let me buy enough time for Zuan to develop!"

"You want to help them take the blame? Just for those children?"

Hilco was a little incredible, "Vander, since you have understood what we lack the most, you should understand that it is not a good thing for Zuan to exchange for those children yourself."

"Maybe, but they are all my children, and I can't choose to hand them over. But if I don't do this, I will not be able to calm the anger of the city..."

Vander is actually in a dilemma.

"Hmph, is the anger of the upper city..."

Hilco sneered a few times, "Actually, I'll prepare some gadgets for them too."

He waved, and a burly bald man walked over carefully with an test tube.

The test tube was filled with potions that emitted purple fluorescence.

"What's this?"

Vander asked with a frown.

"I call it a glimmer, and I hope it can bring some faint light to Zuan."

Silco gently stroked the test tube, as if he was stroking his beloved treasure, "But with your Hex ore, it may not be that important in the future. But, at least for now, it should be able to buy us enough time."

"it?"
