Yang Yi organized the things Kant had said in his mind, then looked at the two people and said, "So I need to quickly find out where the Grey-cloaked People hid the Ark of the Covenant, and then you go and take it?"
"Yes."
"What if I don’t find it?"
"We cooperate with the Grey-cloaked People."
"Hmm, so if I find the location of the Ark and also tell you, there’s nothing else to do?"
Kant waved his hand and said, "Yes, as long as you find the location, you don’t have to worry about the rest."
Yang Yi thought for a mont and said, "What if your action fails?"
Kant said without hesitation, "Of course, we will choose to cooperate with the Grey-cloaked People."
So in the end, it all cos down to cooperating with the Grey-cloaked People, Yang Yi thought Kant was quite unprincipled, fighting for hundreds of years, and now suddenly cooperating.
Yang Yi pondered and said, "Why do I feel like you’re not saying everything, the plan seems too simple."
Kant said with a serious face, "Our mission and goal are to protect humanity, to protect civilization, we have no selfish motives. If humanity is on the brink of extinction and we still engage in infighting, wouldn’t our sense of mission be ridiculous? So I won’t hide anything from you."
Yang Yi said without hesitation, "Then about the janitors preparing outdated weapons in Africa..."
Kant took a breath and said, "This plan has been implented for about five years. When we thought we ultimately have to rely on ourselves, we felt, why not develop our own ard forces? A real army, outdated but reliable, easy to maintain, cheap, and not too difficult to manufacture, when... the Day of Judgnt cos, these weapons will be useful."
Kant admitted so quickly, so frankly, that Yang Yi was still surprised.
"Really preparing for the apocalypse?"
"Of course, preparing for a nuclear war. Those modern weapons with three defenses are indeed more advanced, but not suitable for us, nor for the new era after the global industrial system is destroyed."
Yang Yi said without hesitation, "Where are they placed?"
Kant also answered without hesitation, "Africa, I can tell you the specific location, mainly stored in three parts: Libya, Somalia, and Angola."
"Why put them in these places? Is there any special reason?"
"Libya experienced turmoil, and there we controlled an ard faction. Somalia is a forgotten corner, and its geographical location is important. Most importantly, transporting arms is convenient, and we also placed a production line in Somalia. As for Angola, it’s a place we’ve been managing for a long ti, so even a large ammunition depot can be conveniently hidden. There’s no other reason besides that."
This was not said by Kant, but by that security guard.
Yang Yi whispered, "You really have been planning for a long ti."
"Yes, compared to the Grey-cloaked People who only want to escape under the guise of exploring the universe, we are the ones prepared to do real things."
"Why not cooperate with other countries’ governnts?"
This was a question that Yang Yi never quite understood, a puzzle he could never solve.
The janitors can claim to be heroes hiding in the shadows to save the world, but if they want to save the world, they should unite the forces of the entire world. This reasoning is so simple that Yang Yi doesn’t believe the janitors can’t comprehend it.
Don’t talk about nonsense like letting the governnt know will cause chaos in the world. There’s no problem causing panic among ordinary people, just don’t let them know. If you really want to cover up the truth, who uses whom and who teaches whom?
Therefore, Yang Yi asked a very simple question, but it seed difficult to answer.
Kant and the security guard were silent for a mont, then Kant said with a helpless face, "I can’t say, we can’t say now. If our secret is leaked, do I need to explain what the consequences would be? The revelation must be handed over, and before the aliens arrive, a few big countries on Earth will have to start fighting first."
The security guard sneered and said, "It’s all nonsense. To be frank, why should we hand over the things and secrets we’ve painstakingly preserved for thousands of years? To whom? Who can do it better than us?"
Now that sounds right, the security guard spoke the truth. Why should they hand over what’s theirs?
Yang Yi had long thought of this possibility, that whether it’s the Grey-cloaked People or the janitors, they really want to save the world, but they want to save their own world, or rather, the world where they can call the shots. When the old order of this world is completely broken, who will establish the new order?
If aliens really wiped out all humans on Earth, so be it, but what if they don’t?
As the janitors have always anticipated, an alien code-nad God would co to save Earth, so it’s logical to think that if the janitors and the Grey-cloaked People’s plan is to rebuild a new civilization from the ruins of Earth?
With countries gone and most people dead, but Earth saved, who gets to call the shots on this Earth?
Apart from the janitors or the Grey-cloaked People who are prepared and hold the greatest secrets, who else could it be?
Now, the God is not coming, humanity’s greatest hope is gone, the janitors feel flustered, so they’re looking for a new path, which is understandable, and it makes sense.
Yang Yi felt he understood, so he nodded and said, "I understand, but I still have a question."
"Go ahead."
"The Grey-cloaked People said there’s an actual spaceship on Earth, right? They call it Noah’s Ark. Yes, it’s very religiously connotative, but it’s just a code na. So I want to ask, is it like this: whoever from the Grey-cloaked People or the janitors can get both the Ark of the Covenant and the revelation will be able to find the Ark, contact the aliens, and take the initiative in the future, is it so?"
Kant and the security guard exchanged a glance, then both nodded together. Kant spread his hands and said, "I’ve always thought that talking to smart people should be more honest. Yes, essentially, these are the things we’re striving for."
The security guard pointed at the few empty chairs and said in a low voice, "Let’s talk about so practical matters. If you succeed, there’s a chair here for you. I know the Grey-cloaked People have offered you very generous terms to win you over, which is inevitable, but have you thought about the fact that in the near future, can the strength and resources of Grey-cloaked People compare to ours? The Grey-cloaked People are just a bunch of conspirators, and we are the ones saving this world!"
Yang Yi lowered his head and pondered for a mont, then he raised his head and said, "I understand, I’ll go right away to find out the whereabouts of the Ark, but there’s another question. If those nuclear bombs are about to explode soon, what does it matter if we find the Ark? Are we really going to wait in the nuclear ruins for the aliens to co?"
