On the long and narrow tropical island, in the middle zone, there is a boundary between dense forest and plains.
A giant python is meeting several exotic jungle cats.
"Humans are here again. It seems we should stop the conflict and work together to deal with the outside world." One of the largest exotic cats, with a head like a leopard, said, waving its paws.
"Hmph, we can't defeat them at all. When we sent people to meet just now, the information sent back was that the people on the deck alone exceeded the combined strength of both of us. Unless you have some trump cards, I think it's better to withdraw from this island.
Okay." A spotted python on the opposite side shook its ferocious head and said.
"Yes, we do have a trump card. There are tens of thousands of human slaves in that prison. We didn't eat them all at the time. It seems that we were really far-sighted now." The leopard-headed strange cat said coldly.
The pied python was surprised and said: "Do they care about the lives of these ordinary people? Compared with ten thousand slaves and more than ten thousand square meters of land, anyone would choose the latter, right?"
"That's not necessarily true," the leopard-headed cat said disdainfully. "Some humans are very strange. They cherish the lives of their own kind very much, and they don't hesitate to be tricked by them again and again. When I was managing the slaves, I often heard them mention the Holy Mother.
Such nonsense as salvation and God’s love for the world…”
"Do you think the people on that ship would be like this?" the spotted python hesitated.
"Anyway, we need to give it a try, but if the coercion succeeds, your alien rat breeding farm must give us 10% of the future profits." The leopard-headed cat finally made the condition.
"That's no problem. We have already made up our mind to run away anyway. If we can stay, we can bear 10% of the profit." The pied python did not bargain because the other party did not take advantage of the situation.
"Well, let's see if we can win the prize." The leopard-headed cat said coldly.
"I hope I can win a big prize and meet a true Holy Mother." The pied python nodded repeatedly.
…………
So, not long after, the people on the warship once again saw a strange cat swimming over to negotiate.
This is a large jungle cat with tiger stripes all over its body. It is bloated and looks like it has not exercised for a long time. It is not as agile as it is at all.
Even when boarding the boat, you still have to lower the rope ladder to climb up. The negotiating cat from before jumped up and down, turning a blind eye to the height of the side of the boat and the water.
Shen Rui had already handed over the negotiation to Teacher Wu. He still needed to practice, so he didn't show up.
"We know that you have very few humans now, and there are only a few survivors. We have more than 10,000 human slaves there, but they are very expensive. They should be enough for the total population of your small castle." The tiger-striped exotic cat said arrogantly.
.
"What do you mean?" Teacher Wu asked with an unkind expression.
"It's very simple, we give those people to you, you get out of here, and don't let other people come." The tiger-striped exotic cat said while combing its hair.
"Can I think that you are going to treat those more than 10,000 people as hostages threatening us?" Teacher Wu suddenly said displeased.
The tiger-striped exotic cat was slightly shocked, as if these people were not easy to deal with.
But it did not panic, and just said calmly: "Humph, if you insist on understanding it this way, that's fine. If you really don't care about the lives of more than 10,000 people, we really have only one way to withdraw from the island, but before we withdraw,
I will use the killing method to kill three-quarters, let go of a quarter, and finally tell them why they were killed..."
When Teacher Wu and several other attendants heard this, their eyes were filled with fire and their fists were clenched.
As expected, he is vicious enough. No wonder he still has such mysterious arrogance even though his power is far inferior to his own.
However, despite their hatred, they really couldn't think of any way to solve it for the moment.
The other party's use of civilians to coerce the strong has actually happened many times in history, but it is difficult for the parties involved to find a solution that has the best of both worlds, unless they are lucky enough.
"You wait first!" Teacher Wu could only say something harshly, and then got into the cabin. Such a matter was no longer something he could decide alone.
Shen Rui was called out of the training room. Although no one wanted to disturb him, he still had to make the final decision on this matter.
In the command room, Shen Rui listened to the whole process and frowned.
With two lifetimes of memories, he understands the difficulty of this matter better than these people in front of him.
None of those crisis events that are difficult to describe can end satisfactorily in the end.
The opponent's move was indeed vicious. If he retreated just now, what if something similar happened again in the future?
This is the same essence as the Guanzhuang Fort that I encountered before, using the lives of ordinary people to threaten him or high-level cultivators.
In fact, it is very simple to crack it, just four words are enough.
"Erase conscience", whether they kill 10,000 people or 100,000 people, what does it have to do with me? It's not me who killed them, and I have a clear conscience.
Send people to push them over in a wave and kill them all, no matter what kind of pythons or cats they are. As for what they have done, what will be the hindrance?
As for those survivors who go out to preach, they can just blame the slander of the aberrations. Aberrations are inherently vicious and never need a reason to kill.
Shen Rui was very confident that there were countless organizations that would take the initiative to help him settle the matter without him having to defend himself. Because this matter did not break through those people's bottom line, and there was no need for him to worry about it.
However, he has not experienced a complete doomsday, and his bottom line is still relatively high. If he can think of a solution, he is still willing to try it.
After all, more than 10,000 people are also a very valuable labor force in this sparsely populated apocalypse. No matter who they were before, Shen Rui will only treat them as basic labor force at this time, and will not be particularly biased or special. Treat harshly.
He thought about it carefully and realized that similar things could not be solved satisfactorily in his previous life because that was a real world where no one could cheat.
No matter how rich or talented you are, you will still get sick and die of old age. No matter how powerful you are and how advanced your technology is, ordinary people will still die if they are shot.
But in this world, it was different. There were mysterious special particles, so he could consider using other methods to solve it.
He immediately began to figure out what special ability he had that could solve this incident.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Does any of you know of any way to quietly deal with these strange cats and find the whereabouts of the survivors?"
Ouyang Ling said: "Some people are good at hiding and infiltrating. They can first go to the hiding place of the survivors and then carry out targeted rescue. In this way, those strange cats have no threat."
Shen Rui nodded and said, "That's fine. Of course there will be sacrifices, but at least a large number of people can be saved."
"Actually, we can issue entrusted tasks to the International Joint Defense Organization. It is best to leave this kind of matter to experts. In fact, similar things have appeared many times in the files of local administrations. The monsters are cruel and cunning. Through arrests, It has happened many times to arrest ordinary people and threaten us." Xia Daxue suddenly said.
"Well, your idea is better," Shen Rui nodded repeatedly, brainstorming, and it turned out to be useful, "Then let the experts handle it, just for learning."
So it was decided that Xia Daxue would issue a commissioned task to solve this incident.
