Chapter 1372: Chapter 1377 Simple Truth

One would use the Ark as a means of escape, while the other would use it to fight against the aliens.

Hmm, although the plan of the Grey-cloaked People seems more realistic, Yang Yi actually agrees more with the plan of the Cleaners.

Even though it seems like there’s no chance of winning, one cannot just flee without putting up a fight. It’s still necessary to resist. The things flowing in Yang Yi’s blood make him unwilling to run away in disgrace.

Wait a minute.

If Yang Yi’s status is high enough and his role significant enough, wouldn’t he be able to escape on a spaceship?

In that case, even though it’s an escape, it would fulfill Yang Yi’s lifelong dream to take a trip in space and have a look around.

Yang Yi understood why the Grey-cloaked People could get a lot of support from the higher-ups because, ultimately, only a few dare to resist. The majority, when knowing they could escape, would still choose to flee.

The Cleaners’ approach doesn’t sound very reliable.

There’s no right or wrong. Perhaps, to the Grey-cloaked People, the Cleaners’ concept would make humanity lose the hope of preserving the last seed, while to the Cleaners, the Grey-cloaked Persons’ approach is a willful abandonment of Earth. Even if it enables a few to escape, what significance is there for the majority, indeed almost all, of humanity?

If Earth’s civilization is gone, then the survival of a small number of humans doesn’t mean much.

These two concepts can actually be seen as the inherent opposition, which is irreconcilable, between the higher-ups eligible to flee and the middle and lower classes that cannot escape.

However, cooperation should be possible, right? Since the Cleaners don’t want to escape, let the Grey-cloaked People escape while the Cleaners stay to resist, wouldn’t that be a win-win?

Yang Yi gathered courage and said softly, "Hmm, I have an immature idea, why not cooperate? First, find the Ark, then let the Grey-cloaked People escape, and the Cleaners resist..."

Thomas shook his head and said, "Wasn’t I clear enough just now? Without the Ark, what do we use to resist? The Ark’s purpose is to save the Earth. Therefore, the Ark must either perish with humanity or save the Earth!"

Indeed, there’s no perfect solution. The Grey-cloaked People see the Ark as a means of escape, while the Cleaners see it as a weapon. How can they talk?

Yang Yi cautiously said, "Then the alien allies you mentioned..."

"Uh, we hope to have allies, but if not, we’ll fight on our own."

"Then the nuclear weapons you prepared..."

"Of course, they are used against aliens. If the Earth’s resistance force is consumed internally before the aliens arrive, wouldn’t that be foolish? Even though we all feel that, given human civilization, there’s actually no great use for them."

Damn, it’s different from what the Grey-cloaked People said.

Bruno was particularly sure that the Cleaners wanted to incite a nuclear war, while Thomas vowed it was not true. Hmm, who to believe?

Yang Yi decided to trust the very simple truth, that is, to believe whoever has the logic and makes sense.

"Alright, you make sense."

Yang Yi wasn’t sure what to do unless he had evidence that the Cleaners truly intended to incite a nuclear war. Otherwise, he should believe the resistance fighters.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Yi said to Thomas, "Then what should I do next? The most important thing is to find the location of the Ark of the Covenant, right? What should I do."

Thomas took a deep breath again, then said in a deep voice, "I have a plan, a very risky plan."

"Hmm, I’m listening."

"If you can find the location of the Ark of the Covenant and tell us, that would be the best. But if not, you can leak the location of the Revelation to the Grey-cloaked People."

Yang Yi was taken aback and said, "What? Uh, I get it, lure the Grey-cloaked People to fight, and take the opportunity to ambush them for a fatal blow. But that’s wrong, even if you can strike the Grey-cloaked People’s active forces, you can’t get the Ark of the Covenant."

"No, it’s not to kill the Grey-cloaked People’s active forces, but to get both the Ark of the Covenant and the Revelation!"

Thomas said with determination, "We can’t delay any further! There’s no time left; we must make a final bet. We’ve been actively giving way; we willingly sent that Energy Block just to establish a basis for earning the Grey-cloaked People’s trust. Then, if you side with the Grey-cloaked People, we’ll deliberately let you lead them to find the Revelation. If you don’t, we’ll still have you lead to find the Revelation, that’s our plan, and now, this plan is near completion."

Yang Yi knew he was the bait.

The Cleaners are indeed making a desperate bet. Success or failure depends on this one action — either they get both the Ark of the Covenant and the Revelation or they lose them all.

Thomas slowly said, "We believe that delaying will bring no benefits, so this plan is also a choice out of desperation. Well, even if the plan fails, it results in the Grey-cloaked People getting the Ark and then escaping, which is the worst outcome. But we are confident we can get the Ark and the Revelation."

Yang Yi asked curiously, "Why? Where does the confidence come from?"

Thomas smiled slightly and said, "A powerful military force!"

"Hmm? Military force!"

"Yes, a powerful military force. All along, the Grey-cloaked People have believed that they can get everything they want through top-level connections and power, so they focus on infiltrating the government levels of various countries, never aiming to build their own military base. Their military force comes from members, not their own."

Connecting this with the real situation of the Grey-cloaked People, Thomas was right, so Yang Yi nodded and said, "That’s the case, that’s right, so the Grey-cloaked People want me to become some sort of Western Angel."

Thomas took a deep breath and said, "But we are different, we focus on establishing a powerful military force. We have the military strength, so after deliberately sending the Revelation out, we can find it, and we can take it back!"

Alright, a simple truth, at the end of the plot, it’s ultimately resolved by military force, and the Cleaners’ punch is indeed harder than the Grey-cloaked People’s. In this case, the Cleaners do have a chance of success, and a great one at that.

No matter how your plots succeed, I can still rely on powerful military force to take it back, and this is the confidence of the Cleaners.

Yang Yi rubbed his chin, pondering for a while, then nodded and said, "I understand, I also know what to do. Uh, I have a small question, just now that fake Thomas said the Grey-cloaked People are white supremacists, is that true?"

Thomas chuckled and waved his hand, "He was just anxious and found an excuse to cover up, that’s all. White supremacy, hahaha, the Grey-cloaked People’s philosophy isn’t that low-brow."
