Canyon Lao Liu's eyes were sharp: "You mean, they were planning to rob it at that time?"
"It doesn't matter now."
Jiang Qian smiled and patted Lao Liu on the shoulder:
"In short, this "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" can almost take a breather here. Defend the position and prevent the remnants of the Hunters from coming back, so that we can return safely."
Canyon Laoliu agreed and analyzed this:
"According to the current deployment, even if these remnants have the courage to attack, they have no ability to go back, and they should not show up for a while."
"If I were them, I would choose to hide in a human settlement as far away from the guardians as possible, and use the remaining time to vigorously cultivate the tribe, recharge their batteries, and make a comeback at the critical moment."
Speaking of this, Canyon Lao Liu said urgently:
"I suggest cooperating with humans to hunt down hunter groups around the world! The appetite of those remnants will not diminish. As long as they try to eat people and capture people to create a group, they will definitely leave traces and even alert the joint defense forces. We will have a chance to
Cut them off before they grow big!"
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled off the goggles on his head and made a motion of wiping his neck.
The only regret in this battle of Canyon Lao Liu is that the defender camp failed to kill all the hunters in one fell swoop!
"Not urgent."
Jiang Qian quoted the notes from Jugang’s strategy meeting:
"What you mentioned is also the urgent wish of the joint defense forces. The human commanders are eager for us to come forward to deal with these time bombs."
"You really want us new mutants to consume each other, right?" Canyon Lao Liu sneered.
“Everyone takes what he needs, as it is natural.”
Jiang Qian didn't mind this at all. He revealed the essence of the current relationship between the three with a calm enough perspective:
"For humans, we are also new mutants, and we are not fundamentally different from the hunter-killer camp. There is no reason for humans to continue to cooperate with us unless they are forced to do so."
"Without the hunters making trouble, how can the defenders turn the tide?"
At this moment, Canyon Lao Liu understood why Jiang Qian was not in a hurry to kill all the hunters.
There is still some time before the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" instance ends, and Jiang Qian does not want to turn his allies into enemies again during this period.
"Then what are you going to do next?"
"Maintain stability and rectify," Jiang Qian took a sip of water from his tea cup and said in a relaxed tone, "Then take some time to solve the last issue of this dungeon."
"The last topic?" Canyon Lao Liu was a little curious, "What other topics are there?"
Jiang Qian picked up a fancy bell from nowhere:
"The science of evil."
…
The next day, Canyon Lao Liu returned to Devos Island with home-cooked Northeastern dishes to improve the food in the mysterious place.
Jiang Qian came to the medical support department of the military fortress to visit Yin Lisabai and the defender players who were injured in this joint battle.
After one day of post-war rectification, normal operation has been restored here.
Yin Lisabai lives in the special care ward. Although she is fully conscious, the skin injuries on her body still need medical treatment, so she has been in the ward since she came back from Jiang Qian's plane.
Dr. Kate and Monat were with her.
This female leader of Ideal Town is still the same as when we first met. Even in the ward, it does not affect her charm at all, making people around her and even the medical staff feel like a spring breeze.
"Dr. Jiang! I knew you would become a hero who saves mankind."
Yin Lisabai expressed heartfelt admiration to Jiang Qian.
"The victory of mankind depends on the efforts of all parties, and I am just an insignificant part of it."
Jiang Qian observed the other party's speech and behavior, and found that there was no obvious difference between the other party's voice, appearance, and smile when he was alive, and the effect of his resurrection was impeccable.
After a brief reminiscing about old times, Jiang Qian pulled Dr. Kate aside, asked about his experience in establishing a religion, and then left.
On the way back, we passed the pharmacy and happened to have Thalia taking little Alan to pick up medicine from the pharmacy.
Also waiting in line were three beautiful female gamers with North American flair. They were all defenders of the same camp whom they had met once when they were picked up.
Because the doctors and nurses on duty paid more attention to little Allen, which "delayed" the process of getting medicine, which caused dissatisfaction among several players. They relied on their status to ridicule Talia, little Allen, and the doctors and nurses on duty.
Tricky words.
This makes an originally solemn and clean place like a pharmacy filled with a disharmonious atmosphere.
However, due to the identity of the opponent's "player", the medical staff here did not dare to say anything; Thalia also cared about the presence of little Allen and kept it silent. She pursed her lips, pulled up little Allen and was about to leave, when she met him face to face.
Shang Jiangqian came over.
When the two of them saw Jiang Qian, they were stunned unconsciously.
At this time, several players also noticed Jiang Qian's appearance.
Everyone silenced.
Especially those players who tried to cause trouble immediately shut up after seeing Jiang Qian appear. They thought of Jiang Qian's friendly greetings to the human commander when he got off the plane.
Although Jiang Qian is not the nominal commander of the Guardians, as the organizer of the Guardian camp, he leads the players to win beautifully in the confrontation with the Hunters, and miraculously reverses the defeat in a mysterious place unknown to everyone.
The commander's prestige has been invisibly formed in the Guardian Alliance, which is daunting.
Jiang Qian approached silently, and the eyes of the humans or players waiting around him were all focused on him, guessing his whereabouts and purpose.
"What's wrong? What's the problem?" Jiang Qian looked past Thalia and Little Allen and looked at the three female players who were causing trouble.
His tone was gentle, but it carried invisible pressure, which made the three players feel a little nervous.
This is a warning.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's just chat..." The medical staff on duty quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"It's no problem, boss." One of the female players quickly softened her expression and muttered to Jiang Qian.
"Sorry for causing trouble to everyone!" Another player immediately apologized.
But the person she apologized to seemed to be Jiang Qian.
The potential conflict was settled.
Several players also quickly took the medicine and left.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thalia watched Jiang Qian save herself and little Allen without even using a word, and she was shocked and ashamed in her heart.
She pulled little Allen, lowered her head, and prepared to leave Jiang Qian quickly...
"etc."
Thalia paused and looked at Jiang Qian nervously. Little Allen she was holding also looked at Jiang Qian and swallowed unconsciously.
"I dropped something, have you seen it?"
Jiang Qian's gaze was focused on Thalia's face, calm and profound, still unfathomable.
But Thalia felt her cheeks burning.
Not only the cheeks, but also the heartbeat speeding up in vain, and the pores all over the body from the soles of the feet to the top of the head are sweating...
She didn't understand what this strange symptom came from, but she still carried out Jiang Qian's will by some strange means: she took out the black porcelain doll found in the armored carriage from her pocket.
"Thanks."
Jiang Qian took back the puppet, then lowered his head and smiled lightly at little Allen as a greeting.
Just as he was about to turn around, Thalia's voice came from beside her, still filled with some doubts and entanglements:
"You don't look like a villain."
Jiang Qian's eyes paused slightly and did not answer.
His attention had shifted to little Allen next to Thalia. He lowered his body and put his hand on the boy's head:
"It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on small talk."
"I don't!"
Little Allen actually defended himself in fluent Chinese: "You were so fierce at the beginning! Moreover, you never asked me..."
"Talk back," Jiang Qian calmly looked at Thalia, who looked surprised, and reminded her kindly, "pay attention to your child's tutoring."
After saying that, he rubbed the boy's head forcefully: "It's time for you to be discharged from the hospital, taking up medical resources."
"Hey, it hurts..."
Little Allen did not avoid Jiang Qian's hand, covering his head and grinning, but when Jiang Qian turned to leave, he shouted at his back:
"Thank you for saving Yin Lisabai!"
Just after coming out of the Medical Support Department, Jiang Qian, accompanied by the human commander, went to the prison where Hunter prisoners of war were held and interrogated the prisoner-of-war players in person.
These players were over-consumed due to fighting, and after a day and night without adequate meat replenishment, they were all on the verge of collapse. Seeing Jiang Qian was like a dog seeing its owner, lying on the ground begging for food!
Beth, who accompanied Jiang Qian, was quite emotional when she saw this scene.
She seemed to see herself a few days ago.
But now, she can feel the hunger gradually draining from her body. As Jiang Qian said, as long as she eats regular food for a long time, the strange hunger will gradually slow down and disappear.
Therefore, it is only now that Beth realizes that being a hunter is a violation of freedom!
In the following days, Jiang Qian interrogated the Hunter prisoners one after another every day and "sorted" them for surgery.
Now, Jiang Qian has been able to successfully repair mutants in one state, two states, and even three states and fusion stages into normal license holders, and the success rate of the operation is increasing day by day.
He trained these captives the same way he trained Beth, kangaroos, crocodiles and others.
A few days have passed, and a new member has been added to the guardian camp.
One day, Jiang Qian was preparing to go to the cell for daily rounds when he received an urgent message from the human commander-in-chief Schubert:
Various regions have reported that residents in human-inhabited areas have suddenly mutated naturally and grown into human-faced anteater monsters with long hair and narrow cheeks, and they attack humans and other creatures indiscriminately!
Just like Yin Shi when the crawlers appeared in the first place, they also happened without warning, spreading and spreading for unknown reasons, causing the mutant population to develop day by day, and the human living space to be increasingly compressed...
On the way to the meeting, Jiang Qian once again remembered the prompt when he first entered the instance:
[People don’t even know how “it” happens: some humans are “transforming” into another species: ferocious, greedy, hunting their own kind for food...]
[The world order was rewritten as a result...]
The chain of reincarnation has been cracked, and the world is freed from the cause and effect of nightmare reincarnation, but the pollution of the earth's veins is still affecting the world like boiling a frog in warm water.
This is the result that Jiang Qian once doubted, and now it is being verified in a vivid form.
The ley lines are contaminated.
The global crisis is only "temporarily" lifted.
A month later, he and all the players will leave here smoothly and return to reality. Everything here will be forgotten like a temporary game.
But the disaster of this world has just begun.
Looking at the anxious and uneasy people surrounding the conference round table, when the entire conference table fell into silence after the arguments, anger, and anxiety were vented, Jiang Qian, an outsider, slowly raised his right hand:
"I have a plan."
All human commanders looked at this young and quiet outsider leader.
"This plan is very simple, with only two words: lie."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
"lie?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Is he kidding us? What we are talking about now is the racial crisis of mankind and a global catastrophe! He, an outsider, is here making sarcastic remarks..."
"Stop being so nagging, let's listen to what others have to say first!"
Even if they are of the same race, it has been difficult for humans to achieve complete unity of ideas since ancient times.
But Jiang Qian's words are not nonsense.
At this time, Beth and Crocodile had already pushed the whiteboard to Jiang Qian's side. On the whiteboard, a brief diagram of humans, crawlers, human servants and their energy structures was sketched.
He stood in front of the commanders like a teacher and explained the catastrophic logic of the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" in a language that was easy for them to understand:
Human desires/evil thoughts Toxic pollution (catalyst) = dangerous species.
The root cause of the disaster is the expansion of human desires and the emergence of evil thoughts.
Leyline pollution is actually the proliferation of catalysts. It is now clear that this direction cannot be effectively eradicated.
Then the only way to make efforts is to start from human desires/evil thoughts and find ways to make changes.
"But desires and evil thoughts are hidden deep in people's hearts and are difficult to detect when they take root and sprout."
Jiang Qian uses vivid language to describe the huge hidden danger of the extinction of the human race in this world:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "When the heart has completely become the soil of desire and evil thoughts, and happens to encounter a sufficient catalyst, then mutation will occur."
"However, desires and evil thoughts are contagious. One after another, the majority drives the minority. After countless mutations occur, disasters come and crises emerge."
This theory shocked all the commanders present, some questioned, some were frightened, or some disagreed.
Commander-in-Chief Schubert stood up and raised the question that everyone here was concerned about:
"You said that the source of disaster is human desire and evil thoughts, so why do you think the solution will be: lies?"
"How to use lies and what kind of lies are they?"
Jiang Qian thought for a while and calmly answered the human commander's question:
"Use lies to build a belief, a world full of kindness, wisdom and hope. Let people who are not yet rotten in their hearts believe this lie and practice this belief."
"In this hopeless world, the truth will not help anyone, but faith will lead people in the direction of his determination."
Jiang Qian said, holding up a bell and shaking it in the air.
The bell made a clear and sweet ringing sound:
"Just like some people will feel wonderful and pleasant when they hear the ringtone, some people will feel hungry and out of control when they hear the ringtone..."
"You are the ones who control the bells in this world."
As soon as Jiang Qian finished speaking, a young human commander stood up, looked at Jiang Qian in confusion, then looked around at everyone present and said:
"I think the plan you describe should not be called a lie, it is called faith."
Jiang Qian smiled: "How you define it, that's your homework."
After speaking, he pulled off the diagrams and information on the whiteboard and tore it into pieces in front of everyone.
