Zhou Yi had already planned to use the Gemstone Transformer to deal with Proxy No. 4.

If successful, they would not only take down a Proxy and stand out for the Freedom Army but also gather intelligence and experience for dealing with other Proxies in the future.

If they failed, it wouldn't matter. It was the Gemstone Transformer who acted, what does that have to do with the Wasteland Development Company?

The results were unusually smooth.

However, the final situation was somewhat different from Zhou Yi's expectations.

He initially thought that Proxies, as spokespersons for the Heavenly People, were superior beings, the actual rulers of the Earth in the Wasteland era.

To ordinary people, Proxies were supreme rulers, a taboo topic, but in front of the Heavenly People, Proxies were like beggars.

They were just humanoid hammers and gloves, used and then discarded at will.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask the Night God, "You've had contact with Proxies. Are they all like Wang Fengwu?"

"No,"

The Night God shook his head, "He is an anomaly. The No. 2 and the previous No. 6 I knew were ambitious, always enhancing their own factions' power to stabilize their positions."

"I didn't know that there could be someone like him."

Zhou Yi gathered his thoughts and refocused his gaze on Wang Fengwu below the Twin Towers.

"Tell me about No. 3."

"Yes."

Wang Fengwu organized his thoughts before saying, "No. 3's duty is to screen ordinary humans, to find those with strong vitality or have special genetic mutations innate, and then submit them after selection. Another duty is to ensure the total human population remains above 300 million. In fact, the population has already fallen below this number."

"I used the 403 Protocol to have the Mechanical City investigate, and seven years ago, the global population was approximately 247.63 million, considering some unaccountable islanders, but it couldn't reach as many as 50 million."

"No. 3 was originally supposed to ensure humans had enough living space to continue as the world's largest intelligent group, but instead, he used a large number of children for biological experiments."

Zhou Yi asked, "Why did he conduct those experiments?"

"I don't know,"

Wang Fengwu said, "I only know he turned many children into half-human, half-mechanical forms, hybrids of humans and mechanical beings."

"Some children were used as carriers for Guangna Organs, and once matured, the Guangna Organs were extracted and cultivated separately."

"These important pillars of the future human population were turned into various bizarre Guangna Organ monsters."

"Because my responsibility is mutants, and there's some overlap with ordinary humans managed by No. 3, so I found out a bit about this. But I don't know where he is, nor his true identity, so I can't interfere with his work, hence my helplessness."

He said solemnly, "Please stop him to ensure population stability."

Zhou Yi immediately called Canghai Jun over to the moon's surface through the Cat God, ready to connect consciousness.

This could directly transmit information.

"I don't know who No. 3 is either,"

Canghai Jun hesitated, "When I was the Weaver Lord, Proxies were unwilling to associate with us because we lead the Great Holy Spirit, and the consciousness side is a place they can't interfere with."

"That's why they detached from the Great Holy Spirit and instead obtained information from Mechanical Life, the Heavenly Kingdom, and 404 City. To avoid revealing their identities."

"Wang Fengwu is a rare Proxy who interacted with us because his ability, Divine Travel, sometimes overlaps with our dreams, so we knew of his existence."

"For this reason, later, we internally decided to find a way to cultivate Proxies."

"Initially, we couldn't find the opportunity; Proxies were cautious. Until the Black Emperor's assassination, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 7 were killed by traps set by the Black Emperor and the Warlord, we finally had room to operate."

Of the three new Proxies added, two were pushed up by us. But although their positions differ, their thoughts differ too. Even though we pushed those two Proxies, we might not be able to call on them now. But for small matters, they might still help."

"Even so, it's better than not being able to insert anything before."

Zhou Yi keenly realized, "It seems, in the ambush of the three Proxies, you also played a significant role."

"This matter is complex; I'll explain the details to you later."

"Okay."

Canghai Jun added, "We Weaver Lords have tried for many years to be friendly and on good terms with Proxies, although all were rejected, but we should know more about their situation than anyone except the Heavenly People."

"The seven Proxies each correspond to one life group, including ordinary people, Bone Men, Sea People, Mutants, Mountain Dogs, Panda Men, and Mechanical Life."

"These make up over ninety percent of the world's self-conscious life, representing the life groups favored by the Heavenly People."

"Humans are the most special, occupying two parts."

"Ordinary people are the largest number and the main life group that needs to ensure the base. Mutants, due to phenomena like Light Burst and the rapids of the Dead Sea, are naturally formed. Without rejection-inhibiting drugs, multiple organs within these bodies would simultaneously mutate, forming multiple dangerous structures of Guangna Organs."

"Once confirmed, mutants are captured and detained by towns. Over the years, this number has grown to about 200,000, about 0.08% of the total human population. Artificial mutants were later created through various technological means."

"This is the foundation for the birth of the Freedom Army."

"Wang Fengwu represents the mutant group."

Zhou Yi thought, surely it's people ruling people.

The Heavenly People chose the largest-based groups, selecting Proxies to screen the entire group, collecting suitable experimental subjects for them.

Recalling Wang Fengwu's words, he couldn't help but say, "It seems the Heavenly People don't strictly manage Proxies."

"Yes,"

Canghai Jun said, "Nor did the Heavenly People state or announce the Proxy Selection Mechanism. Only after several generations of Proxies did we summarize the experience."

"Each species has one Proxy quota."

"Above them are the sixteen Transformers orbiting the Earth, officially called 'Supervisors,' but mainly supervising not the Proxies, but the entire Earth's ecology."

He said solemnly, "Chairman, I have a suggestion. How about..."

Zhou Yi and Canghai Jun discussed carefully again.

The general situation was understood.

Next was how to deal with this No. 4 Proxy.

Night God's idea was, "Let him work here. After all, the construction and development of the moon also need manpower. Let him stay here as my permanent employee and spare his life. How about it?"

"Employee?"

"Yeah, I'm also going to establish a company!"

She said happily, "It'll be called the Moon Service Company. I'll build some shelters here, and if anyone wants to escape the Heavenly People, they can settle here. Like Mars immigration, a moon residency will cost 200,000 Light Seeds each."

"Of course, not in this Twin Towers area, but further outside."

"I need to understand the structure and operation of the Gem Pool. It won't work without manpower, but I have high requirements here. Only Light Core Body employees are accepted. Otherwise, the intensity is too low, and they might die here."

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, "It's a good idea. But where to get so many Light Core Bodies for you to hire…"

"Proxies,"

The Night God said, "Weren't you going to deal with Proxies? Bring a few over. I don't even need to pay them, making them work directly. At least here, they don't have to worry about being destroyed by the Heavenly People."

Zhou Yi: "…"

Do you think Proxies grow on cabbage patches, to be easily plucked?

However,

At least Wang Fengwu could indeed be handled this way.

Zhou Yi nodded, "I'll leave him to you. I'll go back for a while, the Freedom Army still needs to talk. After finishing there, I'll come over."

"Go ahead."

The Night God then turned her gaze to Wang Fengwu.

...

Back in Jade City.

Brothers Zhang Zhi and Song Xian were restless in the room. Seeing Zhou Yi return, they immediately stood up.

Zhou Yi said, "Wang Fengwu has been dealt with. He won't appear again."

Song Xian was overjoyed, rubbing his hands, "It's truly Mr. Zhou! Even a Proxy can be dealt with! We are so fortunate to have an esteemed person like you help us!"

Zhang Zhi's face stiffened for a moment, then his expression turned complex, "Our greatest enemy has vanished… I never thought it would end like this... I thought it would take us many years to confront him."

Zhou Yi continued, "Wang Fengwu indeed was the Proxy responsible for mutants. But this matter isn't over."

"Because current situations may lead to the selection of a new Proxy."

Zhang Zhi nodded, "We know that situation, but a new Proxy appearing will need time to understand everything, making them less threatening, giving us more time to prepare."

Zhou Yi hesitated.

He finally revealed Wang Fengwu's truth to them.

After listening, Song Xian was stunned, "According to you, he's not an enemy, but rather someone helping us… Was Wu Gang really lying?"

Zhang Zhi's eyes moved slightly, seeming not too surprised.

He slowly said, "I always felt something odd. Wu Gang was in such a hurry, as if he had no time… The shorter a person's life, the more hasty their decisions, leading to errors and loopholes."

"With a new Proxy, things will have more variables."

He said worriedly, "What the future will be like… only heaven knows."

Zhou Yi said seriously, "Man proposes, God disposes."

"Mr. Zhang, are you interested in competing for the Proxy position?"

"Me?"

Zhang Zhi was stunned, "I'm just a Skywalker, not qualified at all..."

"Not really,"

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, "In fact, our company has some connections, knowing a bit about the tricks of Proxy selection. Currently, there's room for operation. Instead of resigning to fate, why not seize the opportunity and control your destiny."

"What do you think, Mr. Zhang?"

This was also Canghai Jun's previous suggestion.

With a position vacant, a new Proxy replacement would soon happen.

Currently, seizing the opportunity to push one of their own up was possible.

Future affairs would be much more convenient.

Zhang Zhi's eyes changed, then he cupped his hands and bowed, "I want to try, please arrange it, Mr. Zhou!"
