The Witch's Taste

"When will it be?"

"We have to wait until Suzuna Murasaki and the others come back."

"Then wait until they come back." Nishikawa Mie said cheerfully.

After settling the three confidants, Chen Ziang wandered around the business district for a long time before slowly returning to the bridge.

Halfway through, a radio suddenly sounded around.

The Forever is about to enter a transition state.

When I returned to the bridge, I saw that everyone was performing their duties, except for Xia Qingyu, who was half-lying on the sofa and not doing her job, looking like she had just woken up.

"Don't you have any serious work to do?" Chen Ziang sat down next to her and asked.

"My serious job is to prevent you from doing improper work." Xia Qingyu said lazily.

"On the surface it's management, but in fact it's just laziness!" Chen Ziang complained.

"I don't expect you to be able to distinguish the value and significance." Xia Qingyu sneered, "After all, your brain has only evolved to the size of a spoon. It's really pitiful."

Chen Ziang was already immune to her poisonous tongue, and he immediately counterattacked skillfully:

"Ah, yes, yes, so is this why you, who has a strong brain, are lying in the command room and sleeping?"

"The Garcia sector has sent a diplomatic note, claiming that there are a large number of Aegiraos immigrants on our ship, and suspecting that there is Japanese encephalitis among them." Xia Qingyu suddenly said, "Before confirming the disease on the ship, the starship will refuse the refugees Any docking and supplementary applications.”

"Really?" Chen Ziang immediately became serious.

However, he soon realized another problem: We haven't arrived in Garcia yet, and we are still in a state of transition. Where did you receive the diplomatic note?

"This is an obvious reasoning that can be derived by thinking about it with your brain." Xia Qingyu said lightly, "So how are you going to deal with it?"

"A person's wisdom is limited." Chen Ziang thought for a moment and quickly replied, "I plan to ask everyone for their opinions and work together."

"Ask who?"

"ask you."

338. Chapter 336 Countdown begins

To be honest, although Xia Qingyu has a bit of a venomous mouth, he has the imperial family behind him, so whether it is his vision, experience or information advantage, it is difficult for others to match.

If he were to choose the one who least wanted to ask for help among all the people, Chen Ziang would definitely choose Xia Qingyu; but if he were to choose the most reliable one... I'm afraid he would still have to choose Xia Qingyu.

Not to mention, if the Garcia sector does not allow humans to station starships, then various subsequent plans will not be able to be carried out, which is a very fatal thing.

With the lives of more than 1000 million people on his shoulders, Chen Ziang will certainly not be too superstitious about his thinking and decision-making abilities. What if he makes a mistake?

Of course, this kind of thing still requires a collective effort and careful planning as much as possible... It is definitely not because he wants to be lazy.

"Why should I help you?" Xia Qingyu asked coldly.

Although she would issue soul torture every time, she would always help in the end, so Chen Ziang did not panic at all and just said:

"Your sister is on my ship."

"Ha." Xia Qingyu sneered, but this was indeed the truth, so she didn't dwell on anything further and said:

"Garcia is the old colonial star district of the Federation. The struggle between the nobles and the new capital is extremely fierce, mainly between the Krubliff family and the Rhine Business Alliance."

"Your actions in the Aegelaos sector took advantage of the confrontation and struggle between corporate chaebols, as well as the fact that they currently have no means to restrain the witch. The refusal of the starship humans to station in the Garcia sector shows that Klub Leaf is unwilling to compromise with the starship humans like the Baal Group, so it needs to delay as much time as possible to resolve these two weaknesses."

"But if they choose to open it up, that means both issues have been resolved, and that's when the situation becomes really troublesome."

Chen Ziang pondered for a moment and said:

"I understand what you mean. You are hinting to me that abandoning the human residents of the Garcia sector is the wisest choice."

"It is impossible to hide this from anyone by admitting a large number of human residents from the Aegelaos Sector onto the ship." Xia Qingyu said lightly, "Now the entire federation can guess that you will definitely go to Garcia next. The district continues to recruit people, but the other party has begun to lay out targeted traps, and you still have to bravely jump in. I have nothing to comment on. "

"If I want to take a conservative route, then why should I choose a starship human?" Chen Ziang said in a low voice, "Wouldn't it be better if I just run alone? It is not only hidden and safe, but also does not require so much thought."

"I will not 'save them at all costs' for the human residents of the Garcia sector, but if I just give up without even trying, then I won't be willing to do so either."

"Ever since you built the starship humans, your character has been exposed." Xia Qingyu said coldly, "If I were the federal tycoon, I would use my mysterious power to tie 'bombs' on the human residents of Garcia. , wait for them to immigrate to the mothership, then detonate it and kill all of you starship humans."

Chen Ziang: ……………

Your method is a bit dirty.

If Klublev finds a way to deal with the witch, then the next goal must be to kill the starship humans.

Using "Bomber Man" is a relatively simple and quick way, and it will not give other chaebols an excuse to criticize themselves; but even if this method is not used, it is not impossible to use force to start a war with starship humans.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to retain enough power to deter the enemy.

According to Xia Qingyu, she seems to be quite certain that Krublev can find a "means to restrain the witch". Does this mean that similar things did happen in her previous life?

Once this happens, it means that the starship humans will lose their deterrence capabilities, and the situation will immediately take a turn for the worse - so run away as soon as possible before it happens.

In other words, if you choose to stop in Garcia and delay for too long, it is likely to delay the progress of the final escape.

Chen Ziang thought for a long time and finally asked:

"How many days can I stay in Garcia at most?"

"Of course, the shorter the better." Seeing that Chen Ziang finally understood what he meant, Xia Qingyu didn't show any signs of confusion and said calmly, "If you want to add a deadline, 14 days."

14 days... Even if immigration work starts immediately after arriving in Garcia, how many humans can be evacuated in this short time?

Chen Ziang was silent for a moment and suddenly asked:

"In this case, while our witch still has enough deterrence, what will happen if we contact the Rhine Business Alliance immediately after arriving in Garcia, launch an emergency raid on Klublev, and use force to break the blockade in the shortest possible time?"

"Then it depends on whether the other party is willing to cooperate." Xia Qingyu replied.

This is a road full of variables: first of all, the Rhine side may not be willing to cooperate. Secondly, if they do cooperate, they don’t know whether they can win. Finally, even if they win, it means completely breaking up with Klublev. The follow-up The journey will become more dangerous and unpredictable.

However, if you don't choose to take risks, when Krublev develops a method to restrain the witch, there will really be no way to save the day.

In the final analysis, powerful forces can make countless mistakes, while weak forces can only bite the bullet: if they win, they can continue to live, if they lose, they will be completely defeated, and there will be no way to recover.

"I think we should take a gamble." Chen Ziang made a decision quickly, "We will discuss this matter after they come back."

Xia Qingyu didn't comment on this, just picked up the cup and took a slow sip of tea.

The Forever is still in the process of leaping, Xia Qingyu has already finished asking questions (just give up), Suzuna and Zili are not here, and there is no one she can trust and ask for help for a while.

In this case, it seems that the only option is to run to the abyss plane and see what the priests have in mind.

In the dream world, High Priest Neeko is holding her staff high and controlling the strange black magic ball in the center of the square, causing it to continuously emit colorful radiation.

"Long time no see." He said with his back to Chen Ziang, "I can feel from my emotions that you are now like me, shouldering the fate of the entire race."

"Is this also perceptible?" Chen Ziang asked in surprise.

"Of course." Nicole replied calmly, "The huge responsibility will make the soul heavy, hard and tenacious, and will blunt your perception of yourself, causing your emotional spectrum to wander in the low-frequency band for a long time..."

"I came here this time because I actually have a question that I want to ask for advice." Chen Ziang quickly interrupted the other party's nagging and explained the problem he was currently facing.

"Interesting." Nicole commented, "I have also heard about the elves. As a race from the surface world, their thirst and greed for the abyss are extraordinary."

"My suggestion is to wait and see what happens, because if they want to pursue the power that can restrain the witch, they must try to explore deep into the abyss. In fact, the weak seek power that they cannot control, but in the end they are tortured The power of pursuit is destroyed, this happens all the time in thousands of surface worlds.”

"You mean..." Chen Ziang thought thoughtfully and asked, "The method that Krublev seeks to restrain the witch will eventually bring disaster to themselves?"

"Yes." Nicole replied, "Because any method that can restrain the witch is definitely more dangerous than the witch itself."

339. Chapter 337 Destroy the opponent first

The dying realm, the ancient city of Zubasa.

"The only option is to kill," Salahek said bluntly. "Since the enemy is weak and we are strong, directly destroying them with thunderous force is the best way to deal with it."

"Uh..." Chen Ziang said helplessly, "The opposite side is the interstellar chaebol. Even if such a star is destroyed, it is equivalent to a centipede insect breaking a leg. And after the hatred is deep, we have to face the power of thunder. It’s us, right?”

"Then if you try to maintain peace, will the other party accept it?" Salahek asked him.

Chen Ziang fell silent.

This is where he is most troubled now.If you choose to go to war, you will immediately become the enemy of Krublev, and there is basically no possibility of victory in the future; but if you don't go to war, although you will win some breathing space, the price will be that the existing advantages will gradually be exhausted.

After bidding farewell to Sarah Hek and coming to the drowned sea forest again, Han Na listened to Chen Ziang's narration and said:

"It's a very interesting question. Both sides are stalling for time, but their purposes are completely different."

"The other side is delaying time to completely deprive you of your final advantage and deny you any chance of comeback; and you are delaying time just to escape and not dare to officially start a war with the opponent."

"Correction." Chen Ziang said helplessly, "It's not that I don't dare to go to war with the opponent, but that I shoulder the fate of an entire race and cannot just put everyone's lives on the gambling table without thinking."

"If you want to be cautious, I have an idea here." Han Na said suddenly.

"What's the idea?"

"There is a plague here." Han Na said slowly, "If it is spread into the food and drink, it can slowly turn your people into living dead."

"As long as you all have the ability to be immortal, you don't need to worry about being killed. You can use aggressive strategies as much as you like in the future."

Chen Ziang: ……………

As long as you don't behave like a human being, you're not afraid of being killed, right?

The idea of ​​turning all starship humans into starship living dead is still too advanced for him. Chen Ziang has no idea of ​​becoming a white-haired death knight yet.

but……

If they follow the example of the Baal Group of Aegelaos and put this thing in the Garcia sector, Krublif will probably be busy cleaning up the mess and have no time to deal with the starship humans anymore, right?

Seeing that he was obviously interested, Han Na took out a paper bag and said:

"Put this into drinking water. Just a little bit is enough to contaminate an entire city's population."

Chen Ziang accepted it with a heavy heart, thinking that this was still too inhumane... But think about it from another angle, wouldn't nuclear weapons be inhumane?

No matter how evil the method is, I can choose not to use it, but I must have it.

People who are really brainwashed by the so-called "humanitarianism" and actively destroy weapons even though they have them can only be said to be unfit to be leaders.

After leaving Drowning Hailin, Chen Ziang came to the Lightless Shura and asked the quartz priest here for advice.

"The hesitation unique to stupid flesh-and-blood creatures." Quartz commented unceremoniously, "According to your statement, once the opponent finds a way to restrain your weaknesses, you will have no chance of winning, so this path is definitely not possible. Chosen.”

"Excluding this, the only thing left is to start the war in advance, right? Is there anything left to hesitate?"

"If we want to start the war early, the winning rate is relatively slim." Chen Zi'ang sighed, "After all, the opponent is a large chaebol across the stars."

"Because the lives of lower-level races are too fragile, they will stick together to form a false sense of strength." Quartz let out a harsh sneer, "This kind of strength that requires a high degree of organization to be exerted is one article ahead of the real strength. not worth."

He slowly separated a fragment from the surface of the crystal cluster. It looked like a portable USB flash drive, but the top was extremely sharp.

"Insert this fragment into their network carriers. Mobile phones, computers, wireless TVs...any carrier connected to the information network can be infected and assimilated by this fragment."

"Using your time, in about a week, all the unmanned robots in the entire sector, as well as the factory equipment that produces them, will be invaded, infected, and eventually out of control."

"Thank you." Chen Ziang put away the fragments hesitantly, "So, what's the corresponding price?"

Han Na provided him with the plague powder because she needed his help to expand the living dead clan, so naturally it was impossible to charge.But quartz shouldn’t be so generous, right?

"There is no price." Quartz replied, "I just heard that the living dead seem to have given you some kind of 'plague'?"

Chen Ziang: ……………

So where do these lower-level races get their information?

"Immortal evil flesh and blood is a completely wrong direction of evolution." Quartz said hoarsely and sinisterly, "Far inferior to the metal race of order."

"My only request is that you use the fragment I gave you after you spread the plague."

"I may not know how to use plague yet." Chen Ziang said helplessly.

"No, you will." Quartz didn't believe his excuse at all and just sneered, "Because you don't have the right to choose."

"Behind you are thousands of fragile flesh and blood lives. In order to protect your compatriots, you will definitely make the choice that is in your best interests."

--------

"To protect our compatriots?"

Back in the real world, Chen Ziang sat silently on the sofa and fell into long contemplation.
