Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Conspiracy
The eting in the council hall lasted until midnight, and when Qiao and the others ca out, although they were utterly exhausted, everyone felt that their day had been very fulfilling and morable.
“Everyone should rest early. We will start heading to the Cockroach Nest tomorrow,”
Qiao said. Although there would be others following them besides them, having good ntal and physical condition was still crucial.
“Got it, see you tomorrow—no, see you at dawn,”
Abby stretched a big lazy stretch and walked towards their dormitory area with Avril and others…
In the council hall, only Xius and Mo Fei were left.
“Qiao has really hit the jackpot this ti; such a tough problem and yet he solved it again,”
Mo Fei said.
“Elder Mo Fei, it wasn’t Qiao who solved it, but the Heart Talk Team,”
Xius corrected.
“Well then, what are Chieftain Xius’s final plans?”
Mo Fei asked with a smile, as he saw Xius as the real player in this ga.
“Such talent, it would indeed be a waste to do as that family suggests,”
Xius mused, playing with the gilded pen in his hand.
“But if we don’t follow their requests, our future supply of materials from Y country will be cut off. While the problem of the Zombie Cockroach is apparent, the issue of supplies is equally critical, Chieftain Xius, I rember you always being a wise and decisive king,”
Mo Fei said, squinting at Xius.
“I also rember that the duty of an elder is rely to devise strategies. Don’t worry, Elder Mo Fei. Since they all have arrived, we’ll definitely implent the plan, just… that Wood Elent Ability User nad Su Jin can’t be handed over. The rest are as per the original plan for you to deal with; is that difficult?”
Xius asked.
Even if the Zombie Cockroach is resolved this ti, there are bound to be more incidents in the future. Since the key to this mission’s success was that Wood Elent Ability User, he just wanted to find a way to keep her.
“But… she’s the team leader, and specifically the person they asked for. How are we going to explain it?”
Mo Fei also relaxed, presuming it would now be difficult to find another person in the world who could eradicate Zombie Cockroaches for Y country. If they handed over that Wood Elent Ability User, then Y country’s future…
“Although our Y country is much smaller compared to Huaxia, including the Mutated Crocodile and the Zombie Cockroach, they have seen it too. What if we just say the team leader was eaten by sothing? They will have to believe it, right?”
Xius said, by then the Wood Elent Ability User would definitely be uncooperative. After using their Hallucinogen, wouldn’t she still end up being manipulated?
Moreover, it was said that this Wood Elent Ability User was now pregnant; such a beautiful and delicate pregnant woman, they really couldn’t find a second one in Y country.
Xius curled his lip on one side, fondling the patterned pen in his hand. Rare treasures were better firmly held in his own hands, weren’t they?
In the shadow outside the council hall, a figure clenched and then relaxed his fist, the moisture in his palm indicated that he had been standing there for a while. He hung his head with his shoulders trembling slightly, eventually, he left the spot along the wall…
The news that the Zombie Cockroaches in Tawa City and Ouk City had been completely eradicated spread throughout the entire base early the next morning.
However, the base only released two short segnts of the mission’s verification videos, but they were enough to reveal the unique markers of the two cities, imdiately causing a huge stir at the base.
“I heard Qiao brought a professional team from Huaxia, which solved the zombie cockroach problem in two cities, and they are going to the cockroach nest today!”
“Country Y and Huaxia have always been peaceful and friendly. Maintaining a good relationship with them is really the right thing to do!”
“Oh, God is still rciful to us. Country Y can be saved!”
“Are they really going to the zombie cockroach nest today? No one has ever co back alive from there.”
“I heard that Chieftain Xius also sent Hanson’s Team this ti. The chances of winning should increase significantly, right?”
“…”
However, those who had left the base could no longer hear any of this. They had already gathered early, aiming for the nearest zombie cockroach nest.
Even though it was the nearest, the journey was still very long.
When the base in Country Y was established, because the zombie cockroach nests were already ford, they chose to locate it on the farthest mountain from the cockroach nests. Now they had to travel from here to get there.
“Reese, you said last night you would bring back my phone. Now what? The other broken phones in my space have worse pixels than that one. How am I supposed to properly capture our achievents today?”
Mo Fei complained.
Last night, they left the phone on the projector when they departed. He had planned to go back and retrieve it, but since the maid was waiting for him to take out ingredients from his space for the next day’s breakfast, Reese had offered to go back and get it.
He didn’t bring back that good-performance phone, but he looked as if he had lost his soul when he returned…
“Here you go”
Su Jin handed a new phone to Morris. There were many phones in her space, all collected from a supermarket before. This one was also fully charged.
“Oh! I really don’t know what to say, beautiful lady, you are truly rciful!”
Su Jin felt that Morris had started his strange complints again, but she was now immune to these words.
“Reese, you should also thank Miss Su quickly. Reese, Reese?”
Morris noticed Reese had lost his soul again; his blank stare and silence towards Su Jin also made Lu Hao frown.
“He probably didn’t rest well. We didn’t return until midnight last night,”
Qiao explained.
“I’m fine,”
Reese finally snapped out of it after Morris shook him but his eyes were filled with apologies when he looked at the Heart Talk Team again.
Although they were still using the sa minibus and the sa few people as yesterday, this ti David was following a SUV in front.
The SUV belonged to Hanson’s Team, which was the highest-ranking team in Country Y and supporters of Chieftain Xius.
Knowing that the Heart Talk Team had a way to deal with the zombie cockroaches, Xius also said Hanson’s Team was the most familiar with the cockroach nests, insisting on having Qiao step back and letting that team lead the way for today’s mission with the Heart Talk Team.
“Qiao, could you tell us more about what the cockroach nest looks like?”
Su Jin asked. They still knew nothing about the place they were going to, and knowing beforehand might help them prepare for any difficult situations.
