Chapter 1114: Internal Division

Early the next morning, Jiang Fei informed Yang Xiao and the others that he was leaving, then returned to Winter Islands with the two girls.

After two days of rest, even though Bella’s body was still very weak, she could at least withstand the pressure of Teleportation now. After returning to Winter Islands, Jiang Fei asked Shang Guanqi to help take care of Bella, then left together with Ariel.

“0542, mark the coordinates of the Unknowns’ stronghold for me.” Since the decision had been made, Jiang Fei naturally did not hesitate.

“Yes, captain.” 0542 projected a three-dimensional map that had the location Jiang Fei wanted.

“This one.” Jiang Fei casually pointed to a stronghold nearer to them.

“Captain, I don’t recommend that you go to this place.” After a day of downtime, it seemed like 0542 was now more willing to express its own views.

“Why?” Jiang Fei asked.

“This stronghold gives off an unstable energy response. According to my calculations, this should be an important factory for the Unknowns. If your purpose is to cause destruction, I would suggest that you go to this place. But if you’re looking to cooperate with them, I suggest you avoid sensitive facilities like these,” 0542 replied.

“Mmm, makes sense. I’ll listen to you.” Jiang Fei nodded. As he was too used to trusting 0541, he never thought about doubting his assistive system.

“Okay, captain, I suggest you go to this place.” 0542 marked another stronghold of the Unknowns. It was not far from Winter Islands and it was closer to America. America was in a defensive state right then and they had almost given up all of their overseas islands.

“Sure, let’s do that.” Jiang Fei nodded, then summoned Gigantic Sword.

More than an hour later, Jiang Fei and Ariel arrived above a small island. As soon as they arrived, Jiang Fei felt the scanning of a radar wave. Obviously, the Unknowns on the island had already discovered him.

However, this time, Jiang Fei was not there to destroy anything, so he naturally did not need to hide from them. So, Jiang Fei and Ariel openly descended onto the land near the coast of the island.

“Are you Mr. Jiang Fei?” As soon as they landed, two Unknowns appeared out of nowhere. The two men did not attack him. Instead, they called his name.

“Yes.” Jiang Fei nodded.

He had no doubt that the Unknowns knew about his arrival in advance. He assumed that Bennette Straz had already informed all the bases.

However, Bennette Straz was only a frontline commander of the organization. What right did he have to give orders to all the bases?

Jiang Fei was just a young boy after all. He did not consider many issues in depth, so he naturally accepted the fact that people knew he had returned and dropped the issue.

“Mr. Jiang Fei, this way, please! Our commander will be here soon!” An Unknown led Jiang Fei into the island.

Although the Unknowns had built this island into a base, they were all robots. Their demand for their own enjoyment was very limited. Hence, other than industrial facilities, there were only a few simple buildings on the island.

“It’s pretty rough here…” Jiang Fei pursed his lips. From a human point of view, the living facilities on this small island were quite basic. It was comparable to a refugee camp.

A few minutes later, a white light flashed and Bennette Straz appeared in front of Jiang Fei.

“Xiao Fei, long time no see.” Bennette Straz welcomed Jiang Fei warmly as usual.

“I’ll cut to the chase. I can cooperate, but under two conditions,” Jiang Fei said straightforwardly.

“Let’s hear it.” Bennette Straz laughed.

“Firstly, I want energy, a lot of energy.”

“Give me a number.” It seemed like Bennette Straz had everything well-thought-out, so his tone was very calm.

0542, how much energy is needed to treat Bella? Jiang Fei asked in his heart.

“About forty million crystal lattices,” 0542 answered after some calculations.

“I want at least a hundred million crystal lattices worth of energy,” Jiang Fei said to Bennette Straz. Jiang Fei was not being greedy at all. He not only needed to treat Bella. He also had to resurrect Nina and Sylphy, so a hundred million crystal lattices were already the minimum for Jiang Fei.

“No problem, let’s hear the second condition.” Bennette Straz laughed. Previously, they took the engine room away before Jiang Fei could. Immense energy was stored in the engine room, so even though a hundred million crystal lattices was a lot, it was a drop in the ocean compared to the entire energy reserve.

“Secondly…” Jiang Fei hesitated for a bit. He was somewhat worried that Bennette Straz would use the Core of Life to threaten him if he said it directly. However, after he considered the Dragon God’s character, Jiang Fei decided to be direct.

“Secondly, I want the Core of Life!” Jiang Fei said, looking into Bennette Straz’s eyes.

“The Core of Life? Tsk tsk…” This time, Bennette Straz did not immediately agree. Instead, he frowned and gave it some thought.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Jiang Fei asked anxiously.

“I can give you the Core of Life. In this form, we have no interest in the Core of Life, but it is now part of a person’s collection. I don’t think it’ll be easy to get it…” Bennette Straz frowned. As they were all robots, the Core of Life did not have any practical value to them, but the Unknown holding the Core of Life did not really deal with people like the Dragon God.

Although all the Unknowns seemed to be under one organization, there were many factions internally. Since these robots had evolved and obtained self-awareness, they had humanly emotions and desires. Their ambitions would naturally divide them into separate groups internally, just like human beings.

“I don’t care if it’s difficult. These are my conditions. If you can satisfy them, we’ll cooperate. If not, forget it!” Jiang Fei was playing hard to get. After all, he probably needed the energy and Core of Life more urgently than how Bennette Straz needed the planet Namek technology that was in his hands.

“I’ll think of something, but I also have a request,” Bennette Straz said to Jiang Fei.

“What is it?” Jiang Fei asked.

“You are to work with us only, not the entire organization.”

When the Dragon God said this, blue light flashed through his eyes.
