Chapter 361: Team of 100,000 Experts

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“The Daxia Kingdom had just been attacked by the shadow monster in the southwest, then there was the huge eye controlling an army of billions of mutant creatures to attack. It’s a difficult time for everyone.”

The top leader had a bitter expression on his face, and his tone implied like they were all in the same boat.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere became heavy.

The president of the European Union did not know how to reply.

There were many ways to deal with the snow monsters that the European Union had encountered.

They could use large-scale weapons of mass destruction to kill the snow monsters after gathering them together. They could also send out martial arts experts to defend the places where the snow monsters were wreaking havoc, or move the people from small cities to large cities to focus on defending the large cities.

As for the enemies that the Daxia Kingdom was facing, there was no clear way of dealing with them. The strongest technology, the nuclear weapons, had lost its effectiveness, and they could only rely on their own strength to withstand it. If they were not careful, their country could be destroyed at any time.

The top leader continued in an apologetic tone, “Ever since the invasion of the otherworld via the space-travel passages started, the wilderness has divided the countries and even the cities from each other. When one country encounters an emergency situation, it’s not that the other countries don’t want to help, but that they don’t have the strength to do so.

For example, in the Daxia Kingdom, we need to have strong defenses in every direction. Our important facilities need enough manpower to guard them, and the problem of the mutant humans requires a lot of time and manpower for the investigation…”

Once this topic was brought up, it could be said that it would be difficult to explain everything even if they talked through the night.

However, it was indeed the truth. The larger the territory that a country controlled, the more aspects it needed to take into consideration. Once something happened, it would affect the entire situation. No decision could be made rashly.

After a long time, the president of the European Union came back to his senses. All the leaders knew about these problems. It was precisely because of the isolation of the countries due to the wilderness in between that it was difficult for the countries to truly form an alliance.

It was time to discuss the terms. To get something without giving anything in exchange was something that was only possible in dreams. It was not just for the Daxia Kingdom, but for any country to provide unconditional support to another.

“The full set of the latest nuclear power technology, the latest technology to simulate conditions for supporting human life, the complete formula for the most advanced materials, a team of 100,000 technical experts on spaceship technology.”

The president of the European Union added, “The team of 100,000 technical experts will not be offered unconditionally. After the spaceship from the Daxia Kingdom takes off, you have to return them all to the European Union.

There’s also something else. You have to share the location of the planet the spaceship will be heading to with the European Union.”

The highest-ranking leader raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, “He used up all his chips right from the start. Is the European Union in such a dire state?”

The European Union’s offer, in sum, was simply to provide the technology that they had accumulated so far that was relevant to space travel, as well as a team of 100,000 technical experts, to support the Daxia Kingdom’s space plan.

In exchange, they would get a chance to escape before the black tide really arrived.

“The reason why they requested to know the location of the target planet is because these 100,000 technical experts might board the spaceship that the European Union is currently building, and set off together with the Daxia Kingdom’s spaceship. On the way to the inhabited planet, they can start upgrading their own spaceship.”

The top leader had seen through the intentions of the president of the European Union, or rather, the large number of factions behind him.

The spaceship that the European Union was building lacked the fragments of extraordinary weapons. Even if they were given another 10 to 20 years, it would still be difficult for them to obtain the ability to go to another planet on their own.

Therefore, they might as well find a tactful excuse to lower their heads and cozy up to the Daxia Kingdom.

…

After the details were discussed, a deal was finally reached at midnight. The president of the European Union left in a hurry that night and returned in the fighter jet he had arrived in.

In the meeting room, a thick document was placed on the table.

The top leader let out a long breath and rubbed his swollen temples. This was a deal at the national level, and was not easy to negotiate.

This deal allowed both sides to obtain what they wanted without the need for the Daxia Kingdom to hand over the fragments of the extraordinary weapons.

In order to speed up the development of the space plan, they could not care less at this time. The main reason was that the European Union could not compete with them anyway.

Facing the black tide that could reduce the power of the enemy, the big shots behind the European Union had already made up their minds to escape after seeing the display of the destructive power at Mount Everest.

Rather than saying that they should cozy up to the Daxia Kingdom, it would be better to say that they should cozy up to Chen Yiming.

At this moment, Chen Yiming and Elder Huang, who was in charge of guarding the north of the country, pushed open the door and walked in.

“Feng Wuji had just cleared out all the mutant creatures in the Daxia Kingdom when the conflict between the snow monsters and humans in the western world started to become intense. The European Union also hurriedly sent people over.

I think there’s a high chance that the one causing trouble behind the scenes is the huge eye from Mount Everest,” Chen Yiming said with certainty.

The more frequent the movements, the more they would be exposed.

It was impossible for the black tide from the sea of stars to have such an intense reaction to the small movements of the humans. The black tide was specifically targeting the strongest creatures on the planet.

Moreover, the current actions of the black tide were mainly to harvest the negative emotions in the otherworld. He had confirmed this via the spiritual figure.

“I think so too. Ever since the huge eye started to hide on Mount Everest, which is not far from the Daxia Kingdom, it has been targeting us both openly and in secret. This time, after we cleared out all the mutant creatures that were acting as its spies, the other party must be anxious to use another sneaky method to monitor the Daxia Kingdom again.

We can’t be careless with this team of 100,000 technical experts, even if Feng Wuji has personally checked them.” Elder Huang also had a similar opinion.

The reason why he was so vigilant was because Feng Wuji’s ability was indeed able to restrain mutant creatures, but, in essence, there was still a huge difference in cultivation level between him and the huge eye. And the huge eye was a powerful creature that also specialized in spiritual abilities.

No matter how vigilant he was, it would not be considered too much. The other party might be able to use methods such as possession and switching souls that even Feng Wuji could not detect to infiltrate the team of 100,000 technical experts.

The top leader nodded.

Now, they were not discussing whether to make a deal with the European Union. This was because the three of them had discussed it in advance before meeting the president of the European Union.

What they had to decide now was the series of problems that would be caused by taking in the team of 100,000 technical experts. The seemingly free support was like a ticking time bomb.

Since they were forced to accept it, they naturally could not let the time bomb explode. Instead, they had to think of a way to eliminate it and deal with the other party’s tricks.

In the wee hours of the morning, the lights in the meeting room were still on. The surrounding guards were standing guard at their posts.

They were all members of the Daxia Kingdom’s military who had undergone many rounds of selection. Other than their martial arts cultivation level, their character, perseverance, reasoning, and other qualities were also the best.

They were temporarily transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to stand guard. Even though they were feeling sleepy, they were still fully alert and observed the surroundings for any signs of trouble.

This was because every decision made inside concerned the future direction of the Daxia Kingdom.

The sky turned bright.

Chen Yiming glanced out of the window and said, “Keep an eye on every member of the 100,000-strong team of technical experts. Don’t come into contact with any fragments of the extraordinary weapons before the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, you can let them participate in the core projects.”

“The Spring Festival?”

The top leader and Elder Huang looked puzzled. What was so special about the one and a half months from now till then?

Chen Yiming nodded and didn’t elaborate.

The first move of the huge eye was to snatch the fragments of the extraordinary weapons from the two futuristic fighter jets. Then, dealing with the huge eye’s schemes would definitely involve separating the fragments of the extraordinary weapons.

After the Spring Festival, the spiritual figure would be able to increase its swordsmanship talent. At that time, the difference in strength between the enemy and the spiritual figure would be reversed, and the threat of the huge eye would no longer exist.

If it dared to show itself, he would kill it with one strike.

“Of course.”

The top leader and Elder Huang quickly agreed.

The highest level of secrecy was to not let anyone else know about it. Chen Yiming naturally had his reasons for not revealing anything.

It was all for the sake of completing the space plan. At this time, no one would mind it.

…

Back home, to Chen Yiming’s surprise, Father Chen and Mother Chen were practicing a set of cultivation techniques in the living room.

“Old man, your movements are too stiff!”

Mother Chen’s palm landed on Father Chen’s back. Only then did Father Chen react and try to dodge. At this moment, Mother Chen had already pulled back. His movements were not only one beat slower, but two beats slower.

To be honest, his reaction speed was too poor.

“I still have to take care of the work at the industrial base every day. I don’t have enough time to cultivate,” Father Chen quickly defended himself.

Mother Chen stopped and said, “The two of us relied on the miracle blood ritual to obtain our cultivation level. We are both warrior candidates, but your actual combat talent is clearly inferior to mine.”

“…” Father Chen could not think of a reason to refute her.

As their bodies were nourished for a long time, coupled with the new batch of high-quality miracle blood, Father Chen and Mother Chen only needed to do some simple daily training to maintain their cultivation level.

Recently, their accumulated enhancement had suddenly released their hidden potential, and their cultivation level had reached that of a warrior candidate.

The improvement brought about by one’s hard work was far less than the effect of the miracle blood.

As for Father Chen, he could not defeat Mother Chen in actual combat. It could only be said that Mother Chen was talented in terms of reaction speed, while Father Chen’s talent in reaction speed was poor.

The outcome could still be different when using the miracle blood to help with one’s cultivation.

“Brother, you’re back!”

Chen Yingying greeted Chen Yiming excitedly when she saw him enter the house.

“How did it feel to be on a spaceship?” Chen Yiming asked his excited sister.

“We flew around the Daxia Kingdom. It was just like a real city on the spaceship. We stayed in the spaceship hotel and walked around the residential area. We even went shopping…”

Chen Yingying chattered as she shared about her day on the spaceship.

Finally, she added, “Dad and Mom also asked me to supervise their training in the future. They have to become warriors before the spaceship really takes off.”

Warriors who had the extraordinary power of internal force would undoubtedly increase their resistance to danger in deep space where the danger was unpredictable.

Although the spaceship did not actually leave the blue planet, but only flew around the Daxia Kingdom, the experience had affected Father Chen and Mother Chen greatly.

They began to make preparations for boarding the spaceship and setting off to a new planet that can support life.
