Chapter 329
The conference room was dead silent.
But the question Wu Fanghou asked stuck in everyone’s mind.
The photos of the girl were scattered on the table. All of them captured the moment of the girl smiling innocently to the camera. But one of the photos was wet by Wu Fanghou’s tears.
“Sighed… It is also not easy for Miss Ke…” Liang Xingdong sighed.
Huo Jiashan didn’t say anything immediately. People at his age and with his life experiences would not overthrow their own ideas easily just because of the one-sided words of others. In fact, he, Wu Fanghou and Liang Xingdong were the same kinds of people and they were very persistent in their own judgment.
The only difference between them was that Liang Xingdong would always try not to offend anyone and hide his real opinions. Wu Fanghou on the other hand, rarely discussed his judgment with others, and he often made decisions arbitrarily.
Huo Jiashan waited until Wu Fanghou calmed down then said, “General Wu, the things that happened in Wu Yang city, I have actually personally read the report in detail. We were not ignorant like you said. I admire you from the bottom of my heart and I respect the soldiers who died in battle and the countrymen who sacrificed themselves to save the future of humanity. They are also our heroes!
In terms of the help you mentioned, I think your defense strategy was deeply flawed at that time. We didn’t want to send out our men to die for nothing!
But that smart insect brought back the swarm to ask for the bodies of the rest of the insects.
Judging from the records of our previous engagements with insects, this is something that has never happened before, so I’m sure that the smart red insect must have used some kind method to threaten the wisdom unit of the creep area in the north. It must have forced them to give up the battle in the north.
It may be related to that wood elemental energy leakage, but I am not sure. So all the focus should be on that smart red insect!”
Liang Xingdong suddenly asked, “your analysis is good. So what are your suggestions for the current situation?”
The young man coughed violently until his mouth was full of blood, but he still carried on, “I have two suggestions for you to consider.”
Liang Xingdong instinctively reached out his hands wanting to help. But he stopped halfway. It seemed like he was scared of something, and it made him slowly move his hands back, “Do you need to take a break?” he said with concern.
The young man shook his head and pulled out an exquisite handkerchief to wipe off the blood of his mouth. “The first one, gathering all the forces in Hong Kong to look for this red insect and kill it. Erasing its link to the bow. After Miss Ke gains full control of the bow, her power will likely to grow dozens of times or even hundreds of times stronger. At that time, the insects in the north will no longer be a problem.
If the first step, which is killing the smart red Insect, is successful, then, the success rate of solving the current crisis of Hong Kong is at least 90%! ”
Huo Jiashan knitted his brows and said, “what about the second?”
The young man smiled weakly and said, “The second… In my calculation, the success rate of the second option is only 1%!”
Liang Xingdong asked in confusion, “only 1%? Since there is only one percent, why is it worth mentioning?”
The young man’s eyes suddenly flashed with a strange eerie gleam, “Yes, only 1%, but this 1% is not about saving Hong Kong, it is about saving the entire human race!”
“Entire human race!?” Liang Xingdong suddenly blurted out in shock.
The young man nodded weakly and said, “Yes, entire Human Race. The Insect has evolved, it has humanity in its mind, it tries to communicate with human beings, it does not look down on human beings, and it has a strange ability. This is an opportunity, but it is also a long process. We can try to contact it again, regain its trust. A seed of peace has been planted in its mind, but the chance to make it grow bigger is only 1%!
During this process, the entire Hong Kong will probably be taken over by the insect. But as long as we can germinate the seed, then the seed will continue to grow, Hong Kong may not be able to survive it. But human beings in other places on earth will benefit from it.”
Liang Xingdong took a deep breath and then glanced around. The young man provided two directions for them, now it was time for them to choose.
“Raise your hand if you vote for…” the vote for the future of Hong Kong and the future of humanity began in this small conference room.
…
The young man closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening his eyes again. He then leaned against the wall and stepped out of the conference room.
An old man, who looked around sixty years old, quickly walked over to help the young man and said, “young master, you coughed up blood again?”
The young man’s effeminate face had a hint of fatigue, “It’s alright. I’m used to it.”
The old man asked with concerns, “Would you like to rest for a while?”
The young man leaned over the old man’s shoulder and walked lightly out of the General Administration Department Building.
“No, Ask Xiao Li to drive the car over. You help me to get in the car.”
The old man waved his hand to call a black car over. And then he carefully helped the young man to get in the car. Then, the car quickly drove off the main street.
…
“Young master, which one do you think they will choose?” The old man seemed to be very worried.
The young man sat back weakly and looked at the world in front of the car lights. He replied in a light trance, “In fact, there is one more way. If we hand over the bow to the insect. What do you think will happen? ”
The old man was shocked, “Young Master! If the insect got the bow. How can Hong Kong survive?”
The young man suddenly smiled, “Uncle Wang, you don’t understand. The world has changed, and the rules have changed. That is actually the best choice for Hong Kong. The people in this building are just like you. The way of their thinking still stays in the age of light. It has been confined. They can’t think outside the box.
Do you still remember the UFO incident half a year ago? They were searching for a man called Chu Yunsheng. Chu Yunsheng. Chu… Chu Clan… sword… Don’t you feel a little bit strange?”
“You are saying the man is…” The old man’s voice was shaking.
The young man nodded his head and said, “if I am not wrong. That person should be the real owner of the bow, and that man is the real Chu Clan’s successor…”
“But you were saying the insect earlier. Why do you suddenly talk about him?” The old man was confused.
The young man smiled weakly again, “This is the limitation of your thinking. Why can’t he be an insect? Why? Chu Clan’s knowledge is really wonderful, it really fascinates me! ”
“Why didn’t you tell them about this?” The old man asked.
“I have been working with them for three years now. I know what type of people they are. Even if I said it, they would not believe me, and if Qianer knew about it, she would definitely kill me…” the young man said.
The old man bowed his head down thinking about what the young man said.
“Poor thing. She is sitting on the mountain of treasures, but she is obsessed with a bow. Human beings really are sordid animals. The more they can’t get it, the more they think it is the best. However, I am also the same.”
The old man hurriedly consoled, “young master, you are different. Didn’t you just say that General Wu said that she was possessed by the bow?”
“Everyone has an inner devil in them. People who believe it, would restrain themselves, people who don’t, would let loose the chain of the devil. It has nothing to do with the bow…” the young man’s voice became quieter and quieter until he fell asleep.
…
“Young master, young master… we are here,” The old man gently called.
The young man opened his eyes and said weakly, “are boats and food ready?”
“Yes, everything is ready, young master.”
“Then, let’s go. Sail along the coast. I have prepared quite a lot of Chu Clan’s stuff. So we shouldn’t have any dangers. It is a shame that I can’t see the result myself. I really want to meet with Chu Yunsheng… I hope that the person from the capital, who sold the bow, will not let me down…”
