Chapter 243: Chapter 238: What’s the Point_2

Li Jingang whispered, "If the Serpent People are so advanced, why do they still have to go through so much trouble?"

Xinghe said with surprise, "Go through so much trouble? Are you joking? The Serpent People only sent an expeditionary team, which has very limited resources and manpower; But this team needs only one lab to complete the destruction and occupation of a planet. Is there a better option than this?"

The Serpent People dispatched just one Expeditionary Fleet, using collected genes to create a small number of creatures in a laboratory. They then let these creatures breed on their own until their numbers grew to a certain level, successfully replacing the species on a planet, after which the Expeditionary Fleet would eradicate this species instantaneously through a backdoor method.

Is there a more efficient, lower-cost method of invasion?

The methods of the Serpent People are simple enough to drive one to despair.

Gao Yuan just wanted to clear the doubts in his heart, but he didn’t want to crush morale into complete despair.

Xinghe continued indifferently, "Do you know the significance of our mission? You know, don’t you? If we find the medical pod, we have a chance to find the Serpent People’s control codes for biology. Your genetic technology won’t be able to identify the genetic flaws in biological weapons, but the medical pod can, because our genetic technology is more advanced than that of the Serpent People. That means as long as we find the medical pod, we can quickly identify the flaws in any new biological weapon the Serpent People deploy, and then we can shut down these creatures for the Serpent People, just like that."

What Xinghe said was more motivating than any pep talk.

Let alone others, Gao Yuan now felt an explosive sense of mission.

It’s no wonder they were willing to pay any price to get the medical pod. So that’s it, that’s it!

Xinghe suddenly looked confused and said, "Did I disclose something I shouldn’t have?"

Gao Yuan immediately replied, "No, no, no, you didn’t; you’re allowed to say it."

Zhao Qiang suddenly said, "The people in this vehicle cannot be captured alive, cannot be taken prisoner, must not be captured by anyone!"

There were five people in the vehicle, Pan Xin, Li Jingang, Zhao Qiang, as well as Gao Yuan and Xinghe.

Pan Xin and Li Jingang both nodded silently, and then, without any communication, each hung a hand grenade on their chest at the same time.

Xinghe whispered, "I have a question that has never been answered. Why can’t humans work together and disclose this secret? You don’t have to fight over the medical pod. If humans get the medical pod and bring it to me, I could render the Serpent People’s biological weapons ineffective, couldn’t I?"

This question was heart-wrenching.

Gao Yuan whispered, "Because humans are essentially selfish. If the medical pod fell into the hands of the wrong people, then it wouldn’t become a key to saving humanity, but rather a weapon for some ambitious individuals to try to control humanity. Moreover, the medical pod is currently in the hands of a conspirator. If they found out the true purpose of the medical pod, the first to be wiped out... would be us."

Xinghe looked at Gao Yuan, who scratched his head and said in a low voice, "Then I’ll also reveal something I shouldn’t, well, not exactly a secret, but more like family disgrace. The person controlling the medical pod is a part of an organization known as the Sanitation Workers, which upholds white supremacy. Their ultimate goal is to eradicate all races except for their own, so they would never hand over the medical pod, never."

Li Jingang seemed restless, and then he suddenly turned around and said, "In that case, I think... we shouldn’t be taking risks here, our mission is too important. We should be trying to find the medical pod, not taking risks here. We shouldn’t be taking this risk!"

Gao Yuan also hesitated, as the importance of the medical pod was indeed too great, so great that the survival of an entire city like Dushanbe seemed insignificant by comparison.

But to just turn back and leave?

Gao Yuan started to hesitate, he really hesitated.

But at that moment, Xinghe smiled and said, "Would you like to hear my advice?"

"Go ahead."

Xinghe said calmly, "Within the range humans can still control, try to delay the Serpent People from deploying any kind of biological weapon as long as possible. Since there are six Serpent People ships here, it shows that they attach great importance to this experiment. I can’t guarantee that this experiment will have a decisive effect, but at least it is of significant reference value to the Serpent People."

Zhao Qiang said in a low voice, "Do you mean that if this experiment is successful, the Serpent People might deploy new monsters soon?"

"Yes, no experiment is done just once, but a failed experiment could cause the Serpent People to abandon or change an approach. Although it’s only a matter of time, time is what we lack. Given our current pace of progress, it won’t be quick to find the medical pod, but once the Serpent People decide on which creature to use as their primary weapon, they will occupy the entire Earth very quickly, extremely quickly."

Xinghe looked seriously at Gao Yuan and said, "Do you understand what I mean? Once the Serpent People fully deploy their new biological weapons, we will lose all chances. But if we can eradicate all the Serpent People’s biological weapons here, it may cause them to postpone the deployment of new biological weapons by a day or maybe even a year. No one knows how long that time would be, but at least, it’s worth a try."

Zhao Qiang immediately said, "Does our headquarters know about this?"

Xinghe shrugged, "I’m not sure. Before I left your base, I talked about the significance of the Serpent People deploying the Armored Beasts at the Stonegate Shelter, but seeing six ships here, I think the Serpent People’s experiment has reached a critical stage. Generally speaking, one experiment does not require the use of six ships, but also, it could be because this city was not affected by the virus before, preserving enough humans, so the experiment sample was large enough to warrant the Serpent People sending so many ships."

Zhao Qiang looked anxious, and then he finally turned to Gao Yuan and said, "What do you think?"

Gao Yuan whispered, "I just feel that we should inform headquarters about this, and then, we should also try to slow down the Serpent People’s experiment as much as possible."

After speaking, Gao Yuan gathered his courage and said in a low voice, "I have something to say that I shouldn’t, and that is, no matter what kind of monster the Serpent People deploy, I am confident I can escape with Xinghe. Logically and emotionally, shouldn’t we explain the situation in detail to the local defense forces here? They don’t have the experience in fighting Armored Beasts. Not to mention anything else, but at least we all know how to deal with Armored Beasts."

Zhao Qiang replied without hesitation, "I agree, but from now on, you must let me command. When I order you to leave, you must obey!"

Gao Yuan nodded, "Okay, I hand over the command to you now, and I promise to absolutely follow orders!"
