CHAPTER XV
"Judging from this situation, even if all the probes that infiltrated not long ago return, I am afraid that we will not have much to gain."
After listening to Atlas's report, Zhou Xin's face also became ugly. Fortunately, at this time, the little girl added: "However, now that we have those aliens on our spacecraft, people can analyze their language without relying only on the words recorded by the probe, and the dialogue between those people should be able to be of considerable help to the analysis work." This made Zhou Xin's face better.
"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, and then urged casually, "Hurry up, there are still a lot of troubles on the planet under your feet waiting for you to master their language before they can be solved." "By the way, after the large-scale attack on mining sites, the probes on the planet were attacked much less frequently, and they were no longer scattered around the world, but concentrated in a few fixed areas. As for why this change has occurred, no one has yet been able to figure it out.
"Uh-huh." The little girl on the screen nodded her head in agreement......
Just when Zhou Xin and the others were struggling to understand the attacker's language, a hotly debated video conference was also going on in the undersea-
"I'm quitting." An old man with a round face full of wrinkles on the screen said categorically, "If we continue like this, before the other party can make a move, our own foundation will be wiped out." β
"I agree." Another thin old man agreed, "After hiding here for so long to recuperate, our civilization has finally seen a glimmer of recovery, and I don't want to be destroyed so easily." β
Off-screen, a middle-aged man with a square face held his head in embarrassment, "Why are you so afraid of Sagincha? Obviously, we had the advantage in the previous attack, destroying a large number of their units, and even in yesterday's attack, the losses of the other side were much worse than ours-"
"That's because they haven't shown their true strength yet." Before he could finish speaking, an old man with yellow hair interrupted him. Perhaps because he was too excited, the old man coughed violently after saying this.
"Don't be so excited, don't be so excited, be smooth, be smooth first." The middle-aged man said in a bit of a panic, and while speaking, a young man appeared next to the old man on the screen, and he was busy patting the old man's back. It was obvious that the young man looked at the old man with a look of adoration in his eyes.
Coughing twice, the old man eased up, and after reaching out to stop the next move of the young man beside him, he continued: "Although our early attack does seem to have some advantages, have you ever considered why in the face of our attack, the other party only retaliated with a small amount of low intensity? β
"But yesterday's attackβ"
"That's right, in yesterday's attack, we did have the upper hand at first." Another old man said, "But, after the Sagincha and they have organized an effective counterattack, we will not be defeated in the same way?" β
"That's not because after seeing the other party's assault, you yourself messed up and ordered the troops to withdraw without authorization." The middle-aged man complained silently in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this sentence at this time.
"It's just a counterattack, and they haven't shown their true strength yet." The thin old man said, "Don't look at the previous defeat of Sakincha under our attack, judging from the strength exposed by their counterattack alone, I think they may have thought that they were weaker than us before, and the purpose was probably to seduce us all out and gather and annihilate them." β
"Makes sense." The yellow-haired old man nodded, "How could a civilization that is said to be able to destroy an entire planet be so easily defeated in the face of an attack of our magnitude, there must be some conspiracy hidden in it. β
"Okay, I see. In other words, if I were to continue the attack on Sakincha, you would not follow? As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man asked in a somewhat angry tone.
Faced with the middle-aged man's aggressive words, several old people on the screen were silent, but they all shook their heads in unison.
With a long sigh, the middle-aged man still looked a little unwilling, and he opened his mouth with a glimmer of hope to try to persuade: "But have you ever thought that since Sagincha has already appeared here, it is very likely that they have already grasped some clues related to us. If that's the case, then they probably won't leave the tower so easily until they find us. Rather than be found and destroyed, why can't we stand up against them? β
"No way, they can't find such a secret place." The yellow-haired old man immediately retorted, "It was by hiding here that we escaped Sagincha's pursuit back then, and as long as we didn't take the initiative to expose it, it would be impossible for them to find us." β
"And what if Sakincha stays at the tower because he can't find us?" The middle-aged man asked, "What else is our civilization talking about development and rejuvenation under their noses?" β
"Then we'll keep waiting." The round-faced old man said, "Boy, don't take it for granted that Sakincha will leave the tower for fear of our attack, you haven't seen their true power yet. β
Seeing that he couldn't convince anyone present, the middle-aged man couldn't help but show a look of frustration on his face, and then he subconsciously sat in his seat. Seeing his reaction, another old man spoke earnestly: "Mimiros, we dying people are not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" Although none of us here have experienced that mass extinction era, after all, we are so many years older than you, and we know more about the materials related to Sakincha that have been handed down from ancient times, and we have studied them more thoroughly, and they are by no means as simple as you see now. You must know that our civilization is now left with these family foundations, and every step needs to be carefully considered, and we cannot easily wade into danger. As the best of the next generation, our successors, and as leaders, need to be careful before making any decisions. β
"Yes, we are all old, and you are the only one in the next generation who can take over our responsibilities, what if you are so impulsiveβ" The yellow-haired old man patted the armrest of his seat heavily, and said with a tone of hatred that iron is not steel......
