Volume 2: Scales in the Pond Chapter 262 Human Weakness
"The Dragon Clan is determined to find Qiao Ji. They have a strong purpose, and they have not yet revealed their purpose. This is not the attitude that two parties should have."
"Now our production of supernatural materials is growing rapidly, and the rate of growth will continue to increase with factors such as Qiao Ji's supernatural level and mental strength. Therefore, Qiao Ji's importance is not comparable to the knowledge of the scaly claw given to us by the dragon clan. I believe everyone is very sure of this."
One Qiao Ji is now equivalent to a few tenths of a country's production of supernatural materials, and may even exceed that in the future.
No, it should be said that as long as we continue to develop normally, we will definitely surpass it.
What is this concept? A humanoid bonanza that can grow.
When one day Qiao Ji surpasses these old guys, breaks through the boundaries and reaches the heavenly level, maybe he can just wave his hand and there will be a continent of supernatural materials that are inexhaustible.
Therefore, Qiao Ji’s safety must come first. In fact, from a big picture perspective, Qiao Ji is more important than anyone present.
Moreover, as partners, the Dragon Clan wanted to meet Qiao Ji but never explained the reason, which was very bad.
After explaining the reasons, they all still had to consider it carefully.
Without explaining the reason, there is absolutely no possibility for the dragon clan to contact Qiao Ji.
What's more, Qiao Ji can now materialize such extraordinary props as the telekinetic camera.
If you want to give some gifts to Qiao Ji, that's no problem, we can pass it on. But the meeting can wait until we have eliminated all dangerous factors.
After all, we were the ones who rescued you, and we don't owe you anything.
"Next, we need to arrange for personnel to carry out telekinesis transformation. Should we postpone the attack on the imperial mausoleum?"
"I don't think there's any need to postpone. We are fully prepared and speed is of the essence. We have already wasted too much time. There was no plan for telekinesis in this battle, but it doesn't mean we can't fight without telekinesis."
…
The meeting lasted for some time and covered war preparations and changes in combat methods, as well as resource allocation, diplomacy and other aspects.
With telekinesis, although it is currently only open to psychic abilities above the Xuan level, it will also have a certain impact on the combat method.
Fortunately, it is a positive impact.
At the meeting held at the Spirit Realm Exploration Base, after Xia Xingzhong and others reported on their work, an old man came to the stage.
"Everyone has said a lot of good news, let me tell you some bad news."
Just a few words made the place silent and the atmosphere heavy.
"Our comrades sent back news from the underworld. After our analysis, we came to the following conclusions."
News from the underworld!
Xia Xingzhong knew nothing about this matter. After all, he was not in charge of this department. However, just imagine how difficult it would be to go to the underworld to gather information.
I'm afraid I have to turn myself into that kind of thing first. Such dedication is not something that ordinary people can do.
“First, the underworld has already infiltrated our Earth on a large scale.
This is not an accidental crossover like the Xishan Ruins, but a conscious and purposeful infiltration. The infiltrated ghosts are already lurking and can cause huge damage to our human society at any time!"
"Secondly, according to the worst-case scenario, we still have five years before we face a full-scale war with the underworld. This time, they are trying to build a bridgehead on our Earth by inciting the rebellion of several imperial tombs. It is the vanguard of their exploration."
A picture was displayed on the huge screen . It was the scene of the Philadelphia Undead Plague. Black fog covered the sky and the undead were hunting living beings in the fog.
Those undead spirits, except for the earth-level ones, cannot leave the range of the black fog. This has been confirmed through analysis.
"And the strategic weapon prepared by the underworld is confirmed to be this black fog. They have prepared a very huge amount. Once they successfully cross the border, I'm afraid the black fog will immediately cover the entire world. They invade one world after another, and the supplies are abundant. We must also prepare for the worst."
The scene changed, and an analysis of the black fog appeared.
"In addition to creating an environment suitable for the undead, the most troublesome thing about this black fog is that it can absorb electromagnetic waves. This means that once it successfully appears on Earth, the global wireless communication network will be paralyzed."
Xia Xingzhong felt a chill down his spine when he heard the news.
What does global coverage mean?
The person on the stage could not have used inaccurate . When he said it covered the entire world, it proved that the underworld had indeed prepared a large amount of strategic materials and was ready to turn the entire earth into their home ground.
And the underworld does have such strength. According to their archaeological discoveries, many spiritual realms have disappeared, been conquered by the underworld, and incorporated into the netherworld, numbering hundreds.
Once this black fog covers the entire world and absorbs electromagnetic waves, what will happen to satellites? In modern technology and weapon systems, the importance of satellites is self-evident.
If radios can't be used, will everyone use wired communications? Or just shout?
This knife undoubtedly hit the soft spot of human beings.
The joy just now brought by the increase in the production of Qiao Ji's telekinetic props and supernatural materials was diluted by the huge bad news.
There are still five years left.
The threat of total war weighed heavily on everyone's mind, and the main content of the next meeting revolved around domestic and international response strategies.
Domestically, we need to strengthen the protection of key personnel. Philadelphia is an example, where the undead would assassinate key figures.
At the same time, we must increase military spending, increase armaments, and increase military personnel reserves. The entire country must be prepared to shift toward a wartime system. War is not far away.
Internationally, we need to propose and form a new 'World Security Council' to unite global forces to jointly respond to crises facing all mankind and have the power to fight against foreign enemies around the world. Otherwise, even if their defense is successful, other places on the earth or some small countries will be breached, which will still cause the earth to fall into the passive position of black fog.
They must do their best to avoid the worst consequence of black fog descending upon the earth.
The battle to capture the imperial tomb that was instigated not long after was a signal to the world to dispel the thoughts of some surrenderists in the world.
After all, the lifespan of the undead is not limited. They can live forever as long as they are not killed. It is inevitable that some people want to join the opposing camp.
Therefore, the battle to remove the imperial tomb must be fought with momentum and prestige, in order to eliminate these bridgeheads of the underworld in one fell swoop, and to break into the Dragon Spirit Realm, establish humanity's own front-line fortress, drag the battlefield out of the Earth's range, and boost the confidence of allies internationally.
…
The meeting always ended late at night.
Xia Xingzhong ate a bowl of wontons at the Spirit Realm Exploration Base with many elders.
After all, everyone is curious about his current telekinesis and wants to ask him to demonstrate his newly acquired telekinesis to see its power.
He was helpless, but there was nothing he could do, as they were all his elders, and this was also semi-official business.
He demonstrated, and other earth-level psychics would also gradually transform their telekinesis.
This made him think of his childhood, when he was also pulled by his elders to show his talents.
I used to be quite happy when I was little, but now I feel a little uncomfortable all over. After all, these elders are looking at you with burning eyes, and some of them can really see through you inside and out.
But he had no choice, he was a generation younger.
I used to think that I was very proud of having reached the prefecture level at a young age, but now it seems that being young is not always a good thing.
