"The second batch of maintenance teams has just been captured, and they are all near the entrance of the vehicle." Wukong said expressionlessly.

Xuanzang nodded, and instructed Tianpeng to remember to transform those projects with drones and put them into the daily production of the steel plant like last time. "What else do you seem to want to say to me?" Noticing Wukong's eyes, Xuanzang asked, then looked around, and said, "Let's go outside." ”

The two avoided their comrades working in the warehouse and came to the semi-suspended support platform on another level.

Wukong folded his arms and looked at the furnace below in silence, and after a moment suppressed his emotions and said to Xuanzang, "This is not the counterattack I expected. ”

"And what do you want?" Xuanzang asked rhetorically, "Rush to the Heavenly Palace, destroy seven or eight cabins, and make them cry and beg for mercy." Or do you smash a corner of Lingshan into the ground and make them swear that they will never dare to attack us again? ”

"Don't raise the bar with me, Xuanzang." Wukong raised his voice slightly, and replied unhappily, "At least have a fight in the open, not doing some sneaky things!" ”

Since he was born, how has he ever been so timid? Even if you face a powerful enemy, you will face him head-on with no courage and turn him upside down.

That's right, he destroyed the reincarnation net at the beginning, but it would be too embarrassing for him to use such a powerless means to fight back against the enemy after everything he has experienced in the past five hundred years.

Seeing that Xuanzang hadn't responded to himself, Wukong added rather unevenly: "I know you have to take care of the overall situation, but those scum have stepped on our heads!" If you don't give them some color to see, won't you have to get worse in the future? ”

Xuanzang looked at Wukong with a peaceful gaze, until the other party's anger dissipated a little, and then slowly asked, "Wukong, do you remember being in the Five Fingers Prison." Did you say anything when we first met in the imaginary space? ”

"I said, we've failed."

"Yes. At that time, you had actually mastered the ability to change the phase column, but you still didn't have confidence. Because you know, it can crush all enemies though. But the moment the neutron star material is formed, you will be the first to be torn apart. You're not afraid of the Bondage Curse, and even though it can force you down the path to the West and make you do whatever you don't want to do, you'll always rebel and fight those who try to control you. Xuanzang paused and said, "What you are afraid of is that the war will burn everything out, and the world will not be able to be rebuilt." Maybe. But you can't guarantee that even if you sacrifice for it. Such an ending is not a victory. ”

Wukong leaned his back against the platform's guardrail, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Xuanzang propped up the railing with both hands, looked at the huge cave that was red by the furnace, and continued: "Of course we can fight them. Raiding a mortal weapons factory and destroying a number of fusion nodes in the ocean are all counter-attacks that can be done with certainty and can cause them real losses. But what happens next? The fighting escalated, dragged down by endless fighting. He who is a slave is still a slave, and the ignorant is still ignorant. ”

"That's not a bad thing." Goku retorted. "War allows us to get resources quickly, and you can see how much the maintenance team they send has improved the efficiency of the steel plant. They didn't even dare to send reconnaissance planes in the first place, weren't they afraid of this? Now that we're at the beginning, why don't we go with the flow? ”

He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you worried about these workers?" Xuanzang. Injuries are inevitable. This is a war, a war with the Immortals, and our enemies have long treated civilians as objects to be disposed of at will, and you can't keep them out of it entirely. Liberation can be after the end of the war, not the focus now. ”

However, Xuanzang said: "I asked you to save the slaves of the snake mountain." It's not that we want them to be one of us. Once production is automated, their role can be completely replaced by drones. I also don't expect these people to increase our combat effectiveness, they won't survive more than half a minute on the battlefield. ”

"So what's the point of doing that?"

"Wukong, people are going to die. No matter how strong an individual is, death will take everything away. However, ideas and beliefs will be passed on. The establishment of this base will allow these people to regain their own value and let them see order and hope. In addition to this, we must also break their fear of God, no longer submit to the immortals and Buddhas, and no longer see us as saviors, as another god to be worshipped.

"Suppose we found a way to wipe out all the enemies in one fell swoop with just the right power of the phase pillar without harming you, what would the thousands of ordinary people in this world think of us? Maybe for them it was just a change of emperor. Perhaps most of them don't know that they have regained their freedom. At that point, will we proclaim our convictions?

"Seeds need to be watered in order for them to take root and germinate. Transplanted trees do not necessarily survive in unfamiliar soils.

"The people we rescued in Shepan Mountain may not live to the day of victory, and maybe tomorrow, they will all die due to the surprise attack on the base. But all I did was not to pin my hopes on them, but to you, especially you, Goku. Xuanzang turned his head to look at him and said seriously, "Everyone else has their own goals, but you are the only one who is really fighting for freedom." ”

Goku stared at the ground silently, the focus of his eyes slightly distracted.

Five hundred years ago, he conveyed a belief to him, which made him awaken to the earth-shattering power in his body. Five hundred years later, he found him bound in another dimension and told him that there was hope. Although the person in front of him often did a lot of actions that he couldn't understand, that original intention never changed.

"Victory or defeat is not in the first place. One day, I will remove the shackles from you and let you have a hearty battle with them. Xuanzang smiled and said, "Count me to you." ”

Wukong glanced at him, chuckled, and said, "I'm afraid you won't be lucky enough to survive that day, and if you encounter another attack like the White Tiger Ridge Vault, I can't guarantee that I will save your life again." If anything happens in the future, don't go out with you. ”

"I've had good luck. Besides, you didn't object to me going out with you when I went to Baihuling, you said that you like exciting life. ”

"It's not that irritation." Wukong shook his head helplessly, "It's good to be like this, let someone else do it if it's dangerous." Your physical condition is not suitable for fighting, don't always think about acting in person, everyone's division of labor is different. ”

Xuanzang looked at the sky noncommittally, then smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Ah, think about it carefully, I really nested in the base by myself, pushing others into the fire pit." ”

"The golden horn and silver horn are not important companions, let alone the keel."

"Then you have to use it carefully, if something unfortunately happens to the golden horn and silver horn, it will also be a loss for us." Xuanzang said, "As for the dragon bone, he and his fanatical followers represent not only themselves, but also the Nine-Tails. ”

Wukong was puzzled: "The Nine-Tails are here with us, and we don't know about these things, what can be the problem?" She, like the workers, thought you were finally willing to exile the captives who would waste food. Didn't you just want to lure out the regulator when you put the keel out? ”

Xuanzang said slowly: "This is just one of them. It's easy to overlook the fact that Dragonbone knew from the beginning that Nine-Tails was a defector and that she would transform. And now that we have corrected the location that the 'Holy Land' really refers to, then the Dragon's Bones said that 'the Nine-Tails have broken into the Holy Land many times' is worth pondering.
