Chapter 263 Seeds Sleep in Dust
Although he could already conduct trial summoning, Gu Meng certainly would not carry out the practice directly in someone else's tent.

After adding some food, Gu Meng sorted out his gains in his mind. Before eating, he opened his eyes and joined Han Xiao and Hu Hongjun in chatting.

In the previous conversation, Han Xiao confirmed that Hu Hongjun had no other intentions and was simply being hospitable, so he couldn't help but let down his guard a little.

After Gu Meng joined in, they chatted about some trivial matters in the settlement.

In fact, most of the people in this settlement are white, but Hu Hongjun, who is obviously a more prominent person, is of the yellow race, which is unusual.

But since we are already a wandering force and people of a fallen country, sometimes some things are no longer important.

There were originally hundreds of countries on the Aquamarine Planet, with several races such as black, white, and yellow, and even more subdivisions.

One day, after coming into contact with interstellar forces, he realized that the existence of so many countries on a planet was a complete waste of limited planetary resources. Disunity would lead to endless internal friction. If this continued, when the planetary resources were exhausted, civilization would be trapped on the planet and lose the opportunity to enter the universe.

As a result, with the instigation of some people, the social environment changed dramatically over the past few decades. Wars, negotiations, economic pressure, through peaceful or non-peaceful means, the country was reduced to only six countries.

Some of those who lost their homeland chose to join the Six Nations, some chose to join the Germinal, and the rest became wanderers.

The world of Planet Aquamarine is in the throes of transitioning from the old era to the new. The people whose countries have been annexed, destroyed, and disintegrated are immersed in grief and disillusionment. Everyone hopes that their country can survive, but when the wheel of history feels that it has stopped long enough and needs to move on, some seemingly indispensable things can only accept the fate of being abandoned by the times and become a few words left in history books.

The progress of civilization is like a surging river that cannot be stopped. Every person, every thing, and even the country is just like the mud and sand in the river, drifting with the flow.

People with limited individual power can only vent their grief on the Internet or in marches, or be depressed by the past national honor. The more radical ones refuse to accept the invitation of citizens of the six countries and become wilderness wanderers, living in groups in the wild. Wanderers account for 30% of the entire planet's population.

With such a large number of wanderers, and the fact that they are not primitive natives who have been separated from the mainstream like some backward areas of the Earth, but are civilized, knowledgeable and even armed, the chaos on the Aquamarine Planet can be imagined.

If there were 30% primitive people in the wild instead of 30% civilized people, perhaps the world would not be so chaotic.

Some soldiers who once dedicated their blood and sweat for the country used more extreme actions to oppose the six countries. The Germinal Organization was a behemoth born in this social environment. Its philosophy was to overthrow the six countries and unite against the common enemy. It was the undisputed leader of the underground world.

However, Mengya's behavior has now reached a level that is unacceptable to normal people, and it is only slightly concealed on the surface.

In the original world line, this Wanderer settlement was massacred just because Han Xiao passed by. At first, they were just interrogating for intelligence. The Wanderers originally thought that the Germinal Organization would be a little particular, and as long as they were clear of any connection, they would not attack the Wanderers.

The Six Nations and the Sprouts are in opposing camps, while the Wanderers are the wavering fence-sitters in the middle, usually remaining neutral but also potentially leaning towards either side. Therefore, both the Six Nations and the Sprouts have rules not to use force against the Wanderers easily.

However, during the interrogation, someone was killed on a whim, so the leader of the Sprout immediately decided to massacre all the residents of the settlement to prevent the news from leaking out.

This style of work has nothing to do with justice no matter how you look at it. In addition, there are a series of scandals such as human experiments, brainwashing, Aurora sauce, etc. It is already a typical perverted evil organization and there is no need for sympathy.

A few men got together and didn't discuss sex, so they naturally started discussing politics. There was no such thing as literary inquisition on Aquamarine, so anything could be discussed.

Hu Hongjun said: "Since the Battle of Andea, history has been divided into two halves. The past few thousand years are called the old era, and now is the new era. Sometimes I think about it, what's wrong with life in the past? It was peaceful and stable. However, wars were started because of the so-called internal friction theory. The consequences are probably more serious than internal friction. Besides, even if it happens, it will only happen a few hundred years later. The future problems will be left for future generations to solve. What does it have to do with us?"

Han Xiao sighed: "Who knows? Maybe in the eyes of most people, internal friction is like boiling a frog in warm water. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one."

Gu Meng did not comment on this. From a simple emotional point of view, since they have entered the modern society, he personally does not support this kind of world war. However, from the perspective of the locals of the Aquamarine Star, the war of unification is also necessary in the long run.

After coming into contact with alien civilizations, Aquamarine believed that it had been degraded to an indigenous barbarian force and had turned from civilization to survival. If it were not unified, it would not be able to integrate resources and step into the sea of ​​stars. It would surely die on its home planet, or even be exploited by aliens who would arrive at Aquamarine in the future.

This reason may be necessary in the eyes of some people. For example, they all consider themselves barbarians, fight a war of unification, and bear the difficult issue of the future survival of the planet. It is difficult to criticize them from a moral perspective in primitive society. They can only be criticized for the regression of civilization. However, a civilization without people may not be a civilization. For the continuation of civilization and greater interests, this is a necessary sacrifice.

After all, under the pressure of aliens, people of insight believed that the planet must be integrated into a whole in a short period of time. Before the war, no country had an absolute advantage, and it was easier said than done to achieve this goal without fighting a war.

It makes sense logically, but "Saint Mary" Gu Meng thinks it is cruel.

So Gu Meng didn't comment much. He felt that he could do better and keep the casualties to a minimum, because he had extraordinary wisdom and could always accomplish great things that normal people couldn't imagine.

Or maybe next time Gray Mist shares the ability of Hehuan, he can use his powerful personal charm to convince everyone to peacefully establish a coalition government without engaging in a bloody war. He can just use his eloquent tongue to speak a few words. I believe no one can resist the charm of the electronic succubus.

Under external pressure, the existence of a coalition government rather than a country may be a more appropriate choice.

But other people are not like him, a man sent from heaven with cheats. Without a fight, the vested interests will not give up independence. Hundreds of countries will eventually have only one voice. Why should the highest power be handed over to a foreigner or an organization led by several foreigners? Can he guarantee the interests of all parties?

Take the Star Dragon Country as an example. If it occupies a dominant position, let alone other races, the internal disputes among the yellow race may be greater than those among the alien races. Some countries will definitely not be willing to accept this.

What's more, Gu Meng is an alien now, and he is not a real saint. He just has an inertial sympathy for human suffering, so he thinks that the war on Planet Aquamarine is an unjust war. However, in a certain future derived from the addition of some points, he also took the lead in invading Planet Aquamarine to complete his evil rule and rule the country with pure machinery, so there is no point in evaluating these.

As for the Battle of Andea mentioned by Hu Hongjun, it was the final battle of the long war and also a key battle that laid the foundation for the pattern of the six countries.

Andia is the name of a landmass where some countries once lived. When the war broke out, the countries on other continents seemed to have an unspoken understanding and chose Andia as the main battlefield to control the scope of the war. They did not want the war to destroy the ecology of the entire planet. Countless missiles, tanks, and aircraft bombings caused hundreds of millions of people to lose their lives on Andia.

After the war, the Andean continent was covered with dead vegetation, scorched earth, and devastated. The rivers and lakes smelled of rotting corpses, and the fertile fields and green mountains were covered with a dark yellow shadow, turning it into a dead area. The six countries patted their butts and withdrew their troops, leaving behind a mess and completely abandoning the Andean continent, just like a heartless scumbag who pulled out his dick.

Now the population of survivors on the Andia continent is sparse, and they all hate the six nations. This part is a bit like the Akatsuki organization...

Hu Hongjun was actually a soldier of a fallen country, and his homeland was annexed by Xinglong through military negotiations.

Those leaders have all compromised. Some soldiers like him have devoted themselves to the cause and have not forgotten their homeland. They regard their previous leaders as traitors. He personally feels that being able to negotiate for annexation in the end is an acceptable outcome. After all, the Star Dragon Kingdom has the same race and customs as them, so there is no need to be so hostile. Although he does not like the six countries, he does not want to start another war.

"War is cruel... maybe there will be better ways to resolve disputes in the future..." Gu Meng said, and then denied himself, "But humans will always destroy themselves..."

Not to mention the sea of ​​stars when ordinary humanoid gorillas shine, a planetary-level power will naturally have a planetary-level gorilla group, and the lower limit of the gorilla group will always exceed the imagination of normal people on the surface.

Even in the past life, the situation on Earth was similar. Even though both sides were unsure in the confrontation and didn't really want to fight, there were also things like the Cuban Missile Crisis that almost happened. It was a luxury to expect humans to always remain rational, but overall, maybe there has been some progress... just maybe.

An interrupted, "Yes, the war was too cruel. My eyes were blinded by a flash bomb that suddenly exploded. Lao Hu took me everywhere and finally I settled down. Although life as a wanderer is a little hard, it is much better than before."

As he was talking, the meat in the pot gradually gave off a fragrant aroma. Han Xiao stopped thinking about the damn politics and sniffed greedily. He asked curiously, "How do you cook if you can't see?"

An said dissatisfiedly: "Don't underestimate me. Although I am blind, I still have my sense of smell, hearing, and touch. My hands and feet are nimble. I am not a useless person."

Hu Hongjun smiled bitterly and said, "She has a strong temper and would never let me take care of her."

"I can't be a useless person and drag you down." An's tone was full of tenderness.

……

At night, the long-haired young man who attempted to rob during the day came back. Hu Hongjun was his uncle. After hearing about what happened during the day, Hu Hongjun wanted to teach his nephew a lesson, but was stopped by Gu Meng.

As a result, he became greedy that night and tried to steal Han Xiao's bag again. Before he could open the bag, he was discovered by Gu Meng and fainted.

Han Xiao is now a mortal. In the novice stage, the long-haired youth actually successfully stole two guns, both of which were Germinal standard equipment. Later, he was interrogated by Germinal, and finally the entire settlement was massacred, including Hu Hongjun and himself.

Gu Meng didn't want to continue to torture this man physically, but since Hu Hongjun got along well with him, he helped teach his nephew for free and gave him a "sweet dream".

Through communication magic, the tragedy that was supposed to have happened in the settlement was sent into his mind, making him an ultimate beggar's version of a person who was only reborn for a few days, or a person who just had a precognitive dream.

Because of the effect of magic, after waking up again at night, he instinctively thought that was what would happen in the future. When he quietly opened Han Xiao’s bag to check, he found that the things inside were the same as in his dream. This feeling turned into fear, almost forming a steel mark, making him think about the things in his dream before stealing or robbing in the future, suffering unbearable soul torment, so as to ensure that he would turn over a new leaf.

Gu Meng discovered that his magic actually had some brainwashing derivative applications, and it felt like he had mastered all the magic. …

The next day.

Han Xiao, who had been relying on Gu Meng's spiritual instinct to lead the way, finally got the map. The map drawn by the wanderer was just like a primary school student's graffiti for fun, but it indicated the current location, which was enough for Han Xiao. He remembered the complete map of the Aquamarine Planet.

The two of them were located within the territory of Star Dragon Country. According to the map, as long as they walked out of the woods and found the railway, they could then take a ride to the city.

Suddenly, Han Xiao noticed that there seemed to be something different on the animal skin package. He paused and exclaimed.

"My package has been opened..."

Gu Meng was an alien, a suspected boss, and possessed many high-quality weapons. Obviously, he would not covet his weapons. Han Xiao suspected that he was in the settlement...

Han Xiao's heart skipped a beat. If the gun was left in the settlement, it would be terrible if someone saw it and reported it in the future! He wanted to go back and take a look.

"You just discovered it." Gu Meng said, "Young people should still be vigilant. You can't let your guard down in Hu Hongjun's house just because you think he is a good person. His nephew came back last night, and he is a habitual thief."

Han Xiao was relieved after hearing Gu Meng's words. Since the Dark Lord had said so, it was obvious that the habitual thief had not succeeded, so he didn't need to worry.

It is indeed time to reflect on this. After arriving in the star sea, although I still have the game panel, I may only have one life, so I should always be vigilant. However, after escaping from the Germination Base, I had powerful allies by my side, so my vigilance was indeed too poor.

In fact, what Gu Meng didn't say was that he was still working hard in that settlement, activating Hu Hongjun's car so that it could transform in dangerous moments to prevent accidents.

Han Xiao no longer thought about the settlement and was considering the next step.

Since he had become an enemy of the Germination Organization, Han Xiao not only had to flee, but also had to find a way to cause damage to the Germination Organization.

His current personal strength is indeed insignificant compared to the Germinal Organization, but he has the ability to severely damage the power of the Germinal Organization. The countless advanced intelligence in his mind is his real trump card!

In order to make use of this intelligence, it is necessary to take advantage of it, and the object of the leverage must be strong enough to compete with the embryonic organization.

During this period of time, Han Xiao has discovered that Gu Meng's current ability should still be limited. That's right, otherwise he would not have escaped with him. It is unclear when he will be able to recover.

Then the only choice left is six countries!
Xinglong, Hongfeng, Tilius, Ruilan, Haixia, and Odifena.

Xinglong is the closest to him. Compared with Ruilan's cold-blooded cruelty, Hongfeng's bureaucratic rigidity, Haixia's priority on profit, Tilius's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, and Odifena's shrewdness, Xinglong's internal atmosphere is the most mild, and its hatred for the Germination Organization is deep-rooted.

Considering various aspects, Star Dragon is currently the best choice.

But Gu Meng thought differently from Han Xiao. He knew that Star Dragon was not a good thing either. It could only be said that it was relatively good in a worse world, but it also had various problems. There were many mentally retarded bureaucrats. Although Han Xiao joined temporarily, he did not make it there because there were also many stupid leaders in Star Dragon.

Gu Meng did not intend to persuade Han Xiao. Everyone has their own aspirations and ideas. He only intended to give a hint. Han Xiao probably knew all this and was just taking advantage of the situation during his development period. The conflict with Mengya was the main conflict at the moment, and he also had hostile missions against Mengya. Han Xiao himself did not have enough strength, and taking advantage of the situation would allow him to develop quickly and complete the game mission.

But Gu Meng is different. He does not plan to join Star Dragon. He plans to build his own power and guide the situation in the future to complete the system tasks.

Building one's own power is extremely difficult for normal people, but for Gu Meng, an alien robot who has mastered the ultimate skill, it is already a huge convenience... More importantly, he doesn't want to have any stupid leader from the Star Dragon Country above him.

If you have a bunch of leaders above you before you travel through time, and you still have a bunch of leaders above you after you travel through time, then it would be a waste of time. It would be more comfortable to be the boss yourself.

Therefore, after Han Xiao settles down and joins Star Dragon, Gu Meng will temporarily leave with him. If Gu Meng's power expands rapidly in the future, and Han Xiao is willing to cooperate with him when he leaves Star Dragon, they can discuss it again. Gu Meng is willing to give him a second-in-command position. Under one machine, above all machines, the future super god mechanic is still very powerful.

If Han Xiao doesn't want to, it doesn't matter if he wants to build his own Black Star Army in the future. Everyone has their own ambitions. The starry sky is big enough with so many planets. Han Xiao's character is not that of a human ape. His morality is even noble in comparison. He even belongs to the human stars. If he invests in advance, he will definitely be a reliable ally and will not suddenly turn against him.

……

On the other hand, the leader of the Germinal learned that the opportunity for pursuit had been missed. Zero and X might be particularly good at escaping, and no spies could find their traces. As time went on and there were no more clues, a quick pursuit had become a low-probability event.

The leader of the Germination, with his hands behind his back, looked at the distant mountain valley and was silent for a long time: "In the name of the organization, I offer a bounty for Zero and X, regardless of life or death. The bounty for Zero is one million, and the bounty for X is ten million. There is also a big reward for anyone who can provide relevant information. The exact location of X is five million."

The information uploaded to the bounty network described Zero's various appearances in detail, while X's description was vague. In short, he was a mysterious person who was close to Zero and had many mechanical modifications on his body. Mengya didn't dare to say that X was an alien mechanical life.

If the leader of the sprouts wasn't worried that more bounties would attract unnecessary attention, he would have offered even crazier stakes.

And no one among the men around tried to dissuade him. Zero was at most an ordinary enemy who was not even an E-level super-powered person and was not a big concern. But everyone was afraid of aliens and completely understood the leader's urgency. That thing was not only an alien, but also an alien that they had chopped into pieces and had spatial abilities.

The combination of these conditions is too terrifying! The buffs are stacked up, and everyone wants to travel back to before everything happened, worship this alien, let a bunch of alien queens, biochemical zombies, chrysanthemum tentacle monsters, and Aurora sauce produced by the Sprout Laboratory dance for him, or just violently dismantle it cleanly.

Now, his machine head is alive!
Maybe when they recover, they will open a space gate, pull in the alien boss behind them, shoot everyone, and then rule the Aquamarine Planet.

By then, let alone sprouting, humans will never be able to turn things around. Even if the leader wants to hang himself on an old crooked tree, he won’t be allowed to do so…

If we put ourselves in their shoes, we will realize that these people, as the natives of the cricket land, have already become so ape-like that they can carry out a massacre at will.

They are noble alien robots, how evil must they be? They must have to eat hundreds of millions of people for one meal. I dare not even think about it!

How many inhumane and evil plans does he have...

No, X is too scary. X is extremely evil and is the public enemy of all mankind!

They must be sentenced to death, their heads must be chopped into pieces, and the pieces must be assembled into a toilet, in order to vent their fear today!
……

Halfway through, Han Xiao triggered the mission.

[You start the sprouting organization camp relationship! ]
[The favorability of the sprout organization decreases by 1000.]
[Sprouting Organization: Hatred (-1000)-[Defector]]
[System prompt: You have triggered the A-level mission [Seeds Sleep in Dust]]
[Task Tips: Freedom is priceless, and for this you risked your life, and finally got freedom as a reward. But the Germinal Organization cannot tolerate your and X's defection, and they have issued a generous reward. You will face endless pursuit, and you will be in constant fear and will never have peace! This is a disguised cage, a gray sky, and there is only one way out to gain true freedom. Do you know what to do!]
The reward for this mission depends on the progress of the destruction of the Germinal Organization. Gu Meng also shared that the two of them also have a hidden team-up information.

[You have triggered the hidden mission "Seeds Sleep in Dust"]

[This task is generated by the system transferring the current world's special rewards. After accumulating a certain degree of completion, you can participate in a random draw. When completing an A-level task, you have a low probability of obtaining skill points.]

Gu Meng's mission was to help Han Xiao complete it. After all, it was a shared mission that was obtained through prostitution. The requirement was that both Han Xiao and he had a certain degree of participation, and only direct or indirect destruction of the Germinal Organization would be effective progress.

"It seems that this is my main mission for the time being."

Han Xiao, who was freed, had made up his mind to show his skills.

In fact, he could have found a very secret place in the wild and hid there until the Germinal Organization was seriously damaged, but in this way, he would not be able to grow. Although it was safe, it was meaningless and he would inevitably be overtaken by the players later.

Following the main events of the planet, a large number of tasks can be triggered. The turbulent times are a great opportunity for growth. Countless events have a clear thread in his mind, so how could he choose to escape?

Just as Gu Meng felt when he first saw Han Xiao at the base, some birds are destined not to be caged, and every feather of theirs shines with the glory of freedom.

But some people are destined not to be content with being ordinary. They will become the protagonists of the times, or die on the road.

Usually, the latter accounted for the majority, but Han Xiao did not belong to the latter. Coincidentally, Gu Meng did not belong to the latter either.
