Chapter 146: The Last Sustenance

Half a day later, Kuntu had already taken Ye Dongming to visit various places on the spacecraft and gave a detailed explanation. Perhaps, in his opinion, this is the last compensation for Ye Dongming.

On the occasion of parting, Quintu said, "If you allow it, I can control your mind again, but this body is ......"

"No," Ye Dongming said indifferently, "You have made the last mercy, and I will choose to be with my kind, no matter when the destruction comes." However, there is one thing I would like to say. ”

"What?"

"If humanity set foot on your planet, if I were one of them, I would choose to live in harmony with you."

"There are no assumptions, and time is not turned back." Quintu said leisurely.

"Goodbye."

Quintu nodded, watching him step out of the laser line and slowly disappear from view......

After returning to Command, Williams asked expectantly, "How's it going, is it done?" Ye Dongming shook his head and said, "No one can complete this task. ”

So, Ye Dongming explained the whole process in detail, and Williams was silent, like falling into an ice cellar. Indeed, in the face of such advanced thinking ability, ordinary human beings naturally have no backhand, not to mention the risk of being controlled.

Williams has already understood that the last hope of mankind is to fight the X-stars, even if the odds of victory are slim, it is also the last hope of mankind.

Soon, Zhang Tianlin learned that Ye Dongming's action failed, but he was not overly surprised, because before that, he had already thought of the worst outcome, perhaps, the most real result.

"Lao Zhang, I suggest that you report this matter to the Council and the Chairman, and you must get the Council to agree to my request, preferably the Chairman himself." Williams said on the phone, and at the same time noticed that Zhang Tianlin did not say anything, "I think Ye Dongming has already told you the ins and outs of the matter, I will not repeat it, this is our only chance." ”

"The chairman himself!" Zhang Tianlin snorted, "Are you talking about that damn three-dimensional image?" ”

Williams was not surprised, in his impression, Zhang Tianlin has always had great respect for the council and the chairman, and he was really shocked to be able to say such "rude" words today.

"Lao Zhang, are you ......?"

"Are you reminding me of the taboos about the chairman?" Zhang Tianlin continued to be "rude" and said, "In fact, at the juncture of human life and death, anyone should put down the so-called dignity and stand with the people, not to mention witnessing some kind of miracle, and do the same thing as the people." ”

"I don't think it matters," Williams replied with a slight smile, "for decades, no one has ever seen his real body, no one has even doubted the truth of his existence, just blindly following the established rules, is there no one who breaks the rules?" This may be one of the reasons for the demise of humanity......"

In the end, Zhang Tianlin hung up the phone helplessly, even the mass production of "super soldiers" could not make him unfold his frowning brows, and after a short explanation to Ye Dongming and Xu Shan, he rushed to the coalition government building by car. As a result of the advance notification to the Council, all Council members were present and the 3D image of the Chair was in place.

"I'm sorry to keep the chairman and the directors waiting." Zhang Tianlin said apologetically and sat down hurriedly, "As I said in my notice, I took action without the instructions of the chairman and the council. Although it did not succeed, it was discovered that there was an unchangeable fact. ”

The members of the council and the chairman did not interject or interrupt Zhang Tianlin's narration, but listened silently, which meant that he could continue.

"The X-Stars agreed to our proposal because they weren't ready and were waiting for their kind to arrive, and while their ships were advanced enough to withstand a nuclear bomb attack - that's a well-known fact, one wasn't enough to conquer us." Zhang Tianlin calmly narrated, as if these things were happening right in front of him, "Judging from the information obtained, their assistants will soon descend on the earth, and they will get what they want at that time." At that time, humanity will be doomed, and even a small part of the population will survive - as slaves or puppets, it will be of no benefit to humans, and the end is already doomed. ”

"What about your opinion?" One of the council members asked.

Zhang Tianlin glanced at the three-dimensional image of the chairman and did not see the change in his expression, so he said: "Dean Williams put forward a suggestion, and I personally agree with it. ”

"Everybody knows the hawk's point of view." The council member dismissively said, "It's just the same old thing." ”

"Chairman, may I go on?"

"Please continue."

"Dean Williams's proposal is simple, prepare for war, and do everything possible to ensure the safety of the 'Dome', which is the most effective and final barrier to prevent the X-Man spacecraft from entering the region, and at the same time, spare no effort to attack the South Pole spacecraft, it is best to eliminate them at the South Pole."

"That's what he meant, what about your opinion?" The Chair asked rhetorically.

"I completely agree, but," Zhang Tianlin hesitated, "I have two worries, one is that the 'dome' can block the attack of alien spacecraft, and the other is that even if all the X-star people in the South Pole are killed, they have the ability to control human minds, and killing them may not be of any help." What we need most is how to avoid being controlled by them. ”

"Insightful, but in my opinion, only you can do these two things." A smile appeared on the corner of the chairman's mouth as he spoke, but it was fleeting. Zhang Tianlin thought that he was wrong and did not think deeply.

"Indeed," Zhang Tianlin did not deny, "if time is given, I believe it can be done, but we are running out of time." ”

"This is a very real problem," the chairman's image said, "and I agree with you that the government's military forces can be deployed along this line, with three points on the Antarctic continent and seven points on the defense of outer space." After all, it's better for us to fight behind closed doors. What do you think? ”

The Chair's last words were addressed to the other Council members in a somewhat heavy tone, as if expressing some kind of dissatisfaction.

"We agree with Director Zhang's proposal, but it would be more effective if we could spare a little energy to study the mind control of the X-star people."

Indeed, the chairman originally wanted to express this meaning, but looking at the worried Zhang Tianlin, he didn't want to put more pressure on him.

"Understood, I'll do my best to arrange it." Zhang Tianlin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but the most important question was about to be said.

"If conditions allow, can our army go on the offensive?" He asked solemnly.

"If I'm not mistaken," said the chairman, "you mean to take the initiative?" ”

"Exactly." Zhang Tianlin replied simply.

After the chairman confirmed the issue, everyone fell silent. Because everyone knows very well what it means to do so.

To take the initiative to attack is to provoke a war and tear up the agreements reached. If human beings can win by surprise and destroy the X-star people in the South Pole in one fell swoop, they may still have a chance to survive, but it is not ruled out that the X-star people in outer space will counterattack. However, it also shows that the X-stars are not invincible.

However, if it fails, it will hasten the demise of humanity – a real demise. Perhaps, before the X-Men started the war, they didn't want to exterminate humanity, maybe they just took over Earth, but the odds are slim. However, even if this probability is very small, there are always some people who do not want to lose such an opportunity because they have illusions.

Sure enough, several council members began to oppose this, for the simple reason that doing so would anger the X-Stars and hasten the demise of humanity.

Once again, the chamber fell silent, and everyone, oppressed by death, would have a final struggle with themselves, and after the struggle, an irrevocable decision would be reached. However, this time was an exception, because no one dared to be the first.

"I'll tell you!" The chairman's three-dimensional image moved, "We can't have illusions, let alone the slightest luck. Have you forgotten the rebellions of half a century ago? Have we forgotten how painful the lessons we have learned? No, we paid a huge price for it, with blood! So, we can't afford to be stupid again, especially if this may be the only chance we have, so that preemptive action is still valid, and it will always be the truth we admire! ”

"Yes!"

The enthusiasm of the crowd was mobilized, and it seemed to be a little more bloody.

"The coalition government has been steadily growing under our leadership until the crisis arises, until the emergence of the X-Stars, who have come to our planet for only one purpose, and that is to occupy and colonize. But you will never give mankind any good face, and will you still look at other people's faces in your own home? No! So, I think, my opinion is pretty clear. ”

"Perhaps, some people will question my resolve and question my existence," the chairman said, "after all, I never show myself as I am." I would like to assure you that my determination is stronger than all of you, and that soon, when the time comes, I will give back to the people what I have! But before I can do that, I need to be a common enemy! ”

When a person who has made laziness a habit begins to work, it naturally attracts astonishment. They watched everything that happened with the mentality of an observer, some watching coldly, and some secretly admiring. At this moment, such a scene is the meeting hall of the coalition government's most secret.

A group of pampered council members, who gave up their pleasures and began to discuss national affairs, no matter how much time washed their hearts, but one thing is certain: the blood that flowed in their young bodies back then. This is not only because of the existential situation, but also because of human instinct, which is not to sit still.

Of course, after a short notice, there were far more such people than a few in the conference hall, and when they rose up and shouted, no matter what kind of intruder they were, they could not easily realize their ideals, and at least pay a terrible price!
