The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 708 Everything

Mrs. Li smiled bitterly: "What Qilin wants is the power to dominate the world, the right to rule mankind. It is the ultimate conceited ambition of a strong man."

Chen Ying was thoughtful.

"The doomsday is approaching. Jiu Si has repeatedly succeeded in provocation and is still growing. Qilin's patience is running out."

"Now that the dust has been pulled out, the Baichuan Group's foundation is clean and there are no potential dangers. Therefore, the Qilin Union has accelerated its pace of annexing us."

"Although the Baichuan Group's hard power is average, its soft power such as investigation, assistance, and resource creation is first-rate. Our joining can play an important or even critical role in the Qilin Union's elimination of the Jiu Si Organization."

"Blessings come when misfortune lies ahead, and misfortunes come when blessings rely on them. The words of the ancients make sense."

Chen Ying was very unwilling and subconsciously clenched the steering wheel: "Are we just going to let them slaughter us?"

"Chen Ying." Mrs. Li asked instead, "What is your ideal?"

"My loved ones and I can live a safe, free, dignified, and hopeful life." Chen Ying answered simply. Two seconds later, she laughed at herself: "I know it's difficult."

"It's difficult, but not impossible. That's exactly what we've been working hard for today, isn't it?"

Chen Ying nodded.

Li sighed with emotion: "Chen Ying, how much can you sacrifice for this ideal?"

"Everything." Chen Ying smiled. She had been waiting for Li's words.

"Think carefully before answering." Mrs. Li became more serious. "Sometimes people don't know themselves that well. At the critical moment, I'm afraid they will regret it."

"I have thought it through." Chen Ying said firmly, "That night, I watched Xiaotian's soul being burned to death by the dust and then being rescued by Gao Yang. When Xiaotian held me and cried, I thought it through very clearly. .”

"Even if I am so weak, I will risk everything! At least, I will give Xiaotian a bright future. The future of mankind is Xiaotian's future."

"I hope that one day, Xiaotian can go to the real world and fly a kite happily and freely under the real sunshine."

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, "Why flying a kite?"

"Every spring, he goes to the park to fly a kite." Chen Ying smiled: "He was very happy at that time."

Mrs. Li smiled: "When you were a child, you also liked flying kites."

"Really?" Chen Ying was a little surprised. She really couldn't remember.

Chen Ying turned the steering wheel and returned to the topic: "Mrs. Li, I know you, you must have a plan."

Mr. Li nodded slightly and returned to the decisiveness and calmness of the leader: "Chen Ying, within three days, you stole two other runes and defected to the Jiu Si Organization."

Chen Ying was shocked: she had guessed that she would have to bear the name of "traitor" to exonerate the Baichuan Group, but she did not expect that even the rune circuits would be taken away.

"Mrs. Li, do you really want to... do this?" Chen Ying hesitated for a moment.

Although she thinks Gao Yang is more reliable than Qilin, Gao Yang is actually quite crazy. Chen Ying does not believe that Gao Yang will definitely lead mankind to a bright future.

Of course, if she had to choose, besides Mrs. Li, Chen Ying's second choice would be Gao Yang.

"want."

Mr. Li explained: "The two runes are your most sincere letter of submission. Only in this way will Jiu Si truly trust and accept you."

"In addition, even if the Baichuan Group without runes merges with the Qilin Union, their plan will fail, and I can also save the Baichuan Group."

"But..." Chen Ying thought of many things at the same time: "If the Baichuan Group really joins the Qilin Union, won't I be your enemy in the future?"

"Don't forget, I am the vice president and have veto power." Li said, "I will try my best to prevent people from the Baichuan Regiment from going to the battlefield."

"But it can't be completely avoided." Chen Ying added in her heart: What's more, Qilin may ignore you.

"Chen Ying, this is war, and war will bleed." Li sighed: "Not only himself, but also the sacrifice of others is inevitable. Once you make a choice, you can't look back."

Chen Ying suddenly realized, no wonder Mrs. Li wanted to confirm her determination just now.

Sacrifice everything.

It turns out that this is the weight of "everything". "Chen Ying, I'm asking you for the third and final time. Think carefully before answering." Mr. Li's eyes were cold: "How much can you pay for your ideal?"

Chen Ying tightened her grip on the steering wheel, and after a few seconds, slowly released it.

This time, she was very determined and made her choice.

"everything."

Li's face was expressionless. Outside the car window, a stream of light passed over her face, as if she pressed the enter button for this plan.

"it is good."

Li took off his glasses and began to make plans: "Tomorrow, I will take back the two rune circuits in the hands of Wu Se and Zhong He, because Yan Liang's words tonight made me suspect that some of the four team leaders I am worried about secretly colluding with Jiu Si, so it makes sense to take back the runes and keep them for myself."

"Reasonable." Chen Ying replied.

"I will hide the runes in the secret room. You are my personal secretary and know me best. You can guess where I will hide the runes. It makes sense."

"Reasonable."

"Yan Liang's words made my trust in you begin to waver. You realized that the situation was not good and decided not to do anything else. You took one step ahead of me, stole the runes, and took refuge with the Nine Si Organization with your confidants. Is this reasonable? .”

"Reasonable."

"You have three days to make these reasonable things happen." Mrs. Li said.

Chen Ying was silent for a few seconds and nodded: "Yes."

Someone Li reminded: "When you succeed, you will become the most wanted criminal of the Baichuan Regiment and Qilin Union, second only to Gao Yang's public enemy of mankind. You will have to live on the run every day and may be killed at any time. If you If you die, you may always bear infamy, and even your grave will be spurned."

"I have awakened." Chen Ying's eyes were firm.

Li nodded slightly and stopped talking.

After ten seconds of silence, she turned off the jammer and put her glasses back on.

Chen Ying has also adjusted to a normal state. She stretched out a hand and took off Xiaotian's headphones: "Xiaotian, are you hungry?"

Xiaotian nodded sheepishly: "A little."

"I'm hungry too." Chen Ying rubbed Xiaotian's head: "After sending Mrs. Li home, let's go to the gate of Licheng University to eat beef offal noodles."

"Yeah!" Xiaotian's eyes jumped with joy.

……

Four in the morning.

Zhang Wei had a dry mouth and lightheadedness.

He forgot how much he drank and how much he boasted. He vaguely remembered that he ran to the toilet and vomited twice. After that, he was picked up by Ye Feng on his shoulders and thrown into the car. He couldn't remember what happened after that.

Although Zhang Wei's talent is mediocre, he is an awakened person after all, and his overall physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary humans. At this moment, he has been mostly sober.

He was lying on a soft sofa, covered with a fragrant blanket.

——Well, it smells so good. You can tell it’s a feminine scent as soon as you smell it.

——It should be a combination of shampoo, conditioner, skin care products, cream, and the woman's own scent.

——She still feels like a beauty, hehehe...

In the haze of consciousness, Zhang Wei's thoughts gradually became obscene. It would be nice to just have a colorful dream like this.

……

Suddenly, he was startled.
