Afternoon, half past four.
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Baoze Headquarters, Icehouse!
The icehouse is a place used to temporarily store the bodies of employees who died in the war. It functions like a hospital morgue. After the employees die, they will be stored here and the administrative department will arrange the funeral.
If an employee’s family members want to retrieve the body and bury it themselves, Baoze will provide a generous compensation for the family members to purchase a cemetery and organize the funeral.
For employees like Sanwu who have no father, no mother, and no family, the funeral will be handled by Baoze and they will be buried in the company's cemetery together with the martyrs.
The freezer door opened, and the girl covered with a white cloth came out of the small square mouth.
King Thunder and Lightning stood nearby, his face filled with sadness and his eyes red.
Li Xianyu stood in front of the girl's body. He stretched out his hand and held a corner of the white cloth.
At this time, Li Xianyu's whole body slowly began to tremble for some unknown reason, and even his lips lost their color.
A piece of light white cloth, his hands shook and shook, shaking and shaking, unable to uncover it.
"Why don't you watch it." King Thunder and Lightning held Li Xianyu's hand.
His whole body trembled, as if he was startled, and then he reacted in a daze. He looked at the King of Thunder and Lightning blankly and said, "Huh?"
King Thunder and Lightning turned away his head and looked up at the sky, thus preventing tears from falling.
The white cloth was lifted, and Sanwu lay quietly. She was always so quiet, and when she was in a daze, she was like a lifeless puppet.
It's easy to ignore her presence.
The girl's facial features were still delicate, but this time they were completely lifeless and pale.
"How did you die?" Li Xianyu said hoarsely.
After reading Bingzhazi's letter, he gave up the idea of going back in time and rushed back to Shanghai as quickly as possible to come here.
Time passed very quickly along the way, because he couldn't listen to anything, couldn't see anything, and just stayed in a daze before returning to the Shanghai stock market.
"He was seriously injured in the fight with Neptune, and then fell into the sea and died in the aftermath of the battle between Phoenix and Dorgon." King Thunder and Lightning said in a thick nasal voice:
"Her wallet was lost at the time, and the pilot gave her his own blood medicine, but unfortunately, she was too seriously injured and could not be saved."
"... She left before support arrived."
Li Xianyu nodded and stroked the girl's cheek with his fingers, carefully and gently, as if she was just sleeping and didn't dare to wake her up.
"Actually, she died once when she was in the island country. I went back in time and saved her, but I never told you about it."
The King of Thunder and Lightning nodded slightly. Li Xianyu only said that he was defeated twice in the island country and went back twice. He did not go into details. The King of Thunder and Lightning did not ask Li Xianyu to write a mission report.
He guessed it might not end well.
"Even now, when I recall the scene at that time, I still feel heart palpitations. It hurts so much, my heart hurts..."
"I, in the end, still couldn't save her." Li Xianyu said softly.
The King of Thunder and Lightning was suffocated for a moment. Maybe Li Xianyu looked like him at this moment, very much like him not long ago.
Even though it hurts like a knife and the sadness flows back like a river, I still have to pretend to be calm and not let my emotions out.
In such a suffocating environment, King Thunder also whispered: "The pilot who brought her back said that she was smiling before she left."
After a pause, he added: "She had some last words, but she left before she finished them."
"What last words?"
"Ask him for me, I have something..."
King Thunder and Lightning did not say any more, and that was the end of his last words.
Then, he discovered that it was because of his words.
The man beside him was a man who had experienced life and death several times and experienced hundreds of battles.
collapsed.
... ...
Five p.m.
The setting sun sank into the horizon, and the magnificent golden-red clouds stubbornly lingered on.
Conference Room No. 1!
Qin Ze sits in the CEO's seat, with King Thunder and Lightning standing behind him. On his left is Li Xianyu, Grandma Grandma. On the right are Li Peiyun and Dan Chenzi. Now there is one more person, quit sex!
The holographic projections of the nine directors have also appeared, and the atmosphere in the conference room is extremely solemn and silent.
Director Zhang coughed, breaking the silence, and said in a low voice, "Everyone, what should we do now?"
The situation has become so bad that he, a veteran who has been in high and low officialdom for many years, cannot think of a solution.
The relatively young Director Xu looked around at the crowd and saw that no one was speaking, so he said: "Three ways: First, fire Li Xianyu immediately and announce the result of the firing. Then, run away as far as you can, and try not to give any Dorgon and the Superpower Association found it. Waiting for the fruit to ripen."
"The second way is to find a way to extract the fruit, surrender and seek peace."
"The third way is to fight to the death or fight with them."
The three paths were the judgments made by the forces behind Dong Xu after careful consideration.
Director Xu, on behalf of the forces behind him, raised the issue at the board of directors at this time.
Director Zhang said "ha": "After expelling Li Xianyu, how can we ensure that Dorgon will settle the score and kill Qin Ze?"
Xu Dong frowned and said: "Dorgon's goal is Guozi, not us, not Baoze."
The oval-faced woman snorted coldly: "My great-grandfather said that if you surrender, war criminals will be executed. Will Dorgon give up? He is willing, but neither is Baker Richardson. The first way can be eliminated directly, and Baoze has already There is no way out, and you can't get out by firing Li Xianyu."
Another bald director knocked on the table and glanced at the oval-faced woman: "Defeat means you have to pay a price. This is inevitable. But it can reduce Baoze's losses and stabilize this turmoil in the blood world."
"To look at the problem from an overall perspective, some sacrifices are inevitable. Baoze is no longer able to fight against the Superpower Association. No, it has never been able to fight against it."
The implication is that he plans to sacrifice Qin Ze.
"Are you going to kneel again?" The oval-faced woman sneered and said sharply: "People of your age are the ones with the heaviest knees."
"My man is not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of death. Our whole family is not afraid of sacrifice. But we will never sacrifice in such a dignified and meaningless way."
The bald director was furious and slammed the table.
"Cough cough cough." Zhang Dong coughed hard and squinted at the oval-faced woman. Although he was not bald, he was also the age group with the heaviest knees in her mouth.
Director Zhang said in a deep voice: "The first plan and the third plan are the same. As for the results of Baoze, everyone can refer to the island country."
"It's nothing more than the Superpower Association setting up relevant departments in various parts of Baoze, sitting on our heads every day and shitting and peeing on us. Turning our vampire world into a subsidiary of the Superpower Association."
"From an overall perspective, this is indeed in line with what some people call the overall situation, but is it really so?"
"Baoze's top masters will be executed as war criminals and die in vain. According to the style of the Superpower Association, they must suppress our Baoze and dominate while inciting all forces in the blood world. The vampire world that we have finally stabilized will fall into chaos again, and even affect ordinary society."
Zhang Dongyizheng said: "Is this the so-called overall situation? It's just to survive temporarily in exchange for being useless to future generations."
"Even in the old society, our vampire world was never manipulated like a little girl. If in our hands, the vampire world became like an island nation... Who would have the guts to bear this eternal crime?"
"I don't."
"Besides, do you know how to take out the fruit?" As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xianyu, who was silent as if he was just watching the meeting.
"Then what do you mean, fight? Fight them to the death?" Another director frowned.
"Dorgon has returned to the peak of the Yakuza, and Baker Richardson has devoured the body again, and is another peak of the Yakuza. They also have the Kusanagi sword, how can they fight? How do you rely on you?" The bald director slapped the table: "There is no chance of winning. If you fight, you will die."
The oval-faced woman responded tit-for-tat: "It's better to die in battle than to die."
It even rhymed... The bald director was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Directors, if the discussion is over, please listen to me." Qin Ze spoke calmly, attracting the attention of the nine directors.
"First of all, I have to review and admit my mistakes. This battle was messed up again. This was my mistake. I, as the CEO, did not take the lead."
Grandma sneered: "You are the weakest Ji Dao, why are you taking the lead?"
Qin Ze knew that Senior Wushuang War Spirit was trying to excuse himself, but he didn't need to. The above was just a scene.
He continued: "Everyone can see how difficult the enemy is. So, I shamelessly made excuses for myself."
"Then, regarding Director Xu's three methods, there is actually only one way we can go, and that is to fight to the death, until the head is broken and the blood bleeds, the talent is withered, and both the jade and the stone are destroyed."
"Why?"
"Because the fruit does not fall into the hands of Dorgon or Baker Richardson. To be precise, the fruit cannot fall into the hands of any careerist."
"Why did we form an alliance with the Phoenix before? The Lord is too terrible. Letting them live is irresponsible to the country, the people, and even all mankind."
"For this reason, we are destined to fight the enemy to the end, and we cannot hand over the fruits. Unless you want to grow your braids again and shout to a guy in a dragon robe: Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"Times have changed. You could have an emperor before. Now, you absolutely can't have one."
"The two of them will destroy the entire human civilization."
The directors were silent.
"So, if we want to fight, is there any chance of winning?" Qin Ze stood up, put his palms on the table, and said sharply: "Yes."
At this moment, he was full of majesty and sharpness called "big boss".
"Is there a chance of winning?" The directors' eyes lit up.
"Remember how the Blood World settled the Quanzhen Rebellion more than eighty years ago?" Qin Ze spoke very quickly: "Yes, it was the human sea tactic."
"In this world, the peak of individual power can never compete with the power of a group. As long as we have enough people, we can destroy Dorgon and Baker Richardson."
Director Xu interrupted him: "Where did the human sea tactic come from? I used to have so many masters in the blood world, and we gave birth to geniuses one after another. But relying on them is obviously not enough. Moreover, from last year to the present, the blood world has There has been continuous turmoil and too many masters have been killed and injured. Even if you want to recruit troops, you can only recruit a bunch of crooked melons and cracked jujubes."
"Relying on them to kill the two ultimate masters?"
"Of course it's not just us." Qin Ze said: "I have already held a meeting with the chairman of the "Belloberg Palace" and invited them to join forces to deal with the Superpower Association. At this time, they are also having a meeting, and the result will be soon come out."
"Belloberg Palace" is the headquarters of the official organization of the White Bear Country.
"In addition, there are also the blood descendants of the island country and the Holy See. There is one half-step pole peak in Beloberg Palace, one who has just entered the half-step pole, and the Holy See has three half-step pole peaks. Plus our group of people , enough to compete with Dorgon, Baker Richardson, and the Superpowers Association for life and death."
Hiss... The directors gasped.
In this way, the high-end combat power of the global vampire community has almost been gathered. The destructive power of the experienced half-step Ji Dao is already comparable to that of a humanoid nuclear bomb. Because it can briefly burst out the power of the ultimate level.
And in such a war, how many humanoid nuclear bombs are there
Director Zhang immediately shook his head: "No, this won't work. There is no place for you to fight. How many people are you going to kill? The superiors will not agree. If it gets to that point, things will be out of control."
This is no longer something that the superiors agree with... Li Xianyu said calmly: "For this battle, we will set the battlefield in New York."
The directors' expressions froze.
"You want to set the battlefield in New York?! Fight in someone else's base camp? This is too reckless. Isn't it like throwing yourself into a trap? The chance of winning is not high in the first place..."
"Wrong," Li Xianyu interrupted the directors' beeping with a wave of his hand:
"'Giant' Malgaitilahan and 'Sea King' Angie Charles died in battle one after another. Except for Baker Richardson, the Super Power Association lacks high-end combat power in a short period of time, which is when it is at its weakest."
"The battlefield has been moved to Millikin so that we can let go. In the past few days, the Association of Superpowers has attacked various branches. How many ordinary people have been affected? The number of casualties is on your table. The public opinion turmoil has caused you to be taken advantage of. It’s so bloody that it’s dripping on your head.”
"Since we decided to go to war with Baoze, we must be prepared to bear the consequences."
"I'm going to make the Superpowers Association pay the price."
The directors pondered.
If this war is inevitable, then it is better to lose the battlefield abroad than to lose it at home.
"You are going to announce the existence of the blood world to the whole world." Director Zhang rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
From the perspective of managers, they naturally disagree, but the current situation is out of their control, and even out of the control of a country's political power.
If you want to suppress, you can, then be prepared to choose the third way and be prepared to be infamy for eternity.
But this still cannot solve the problem. The war is not over yet, and Li Xianyu and Wushuang Fighting Spirit, the grandson and grandson, will not sit still and wait for death.
The Holy See in Europe and the official organization of the island country have limited friendship with Baoze. It is Li Xianyu and Li Peiyun who have established friendship with the Holy See and official organizations.
Will definitely help.
By then, several humanoid nuclear bombs will collide, and the outcome will be the same.
Dorgon and Baker Richardson traveled across the ocean to grab the fruit, but they wouldn't think about it for you so as not to affect ordinary people. They all went to a deserted place to fight.
impossible.
He can neither control the Li family's ancestors nor his enemies.
Director Xu stared at Qin Ze and reminded: "You told the White Bear Country the secret of the fruit, how can you ensure that they will not become the second Baker Richardson?"
"No, I didn't reveal the existence of the fruit. I just invited them to fight against the Superpower Association." Qin Ze said: "In this battle, we still have to fight the time difference. If what is expected is true, Baker Richardson needs Spend some time integrating and mastering the relics. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the normal approach is to lie dormant for a period of time."
Thinking of the history of the Superpower Association and the White Bear official organization, Director Xu nodded and accepted it.
Director Zhang sighed silently, and then asked: "Before the Phoenix fell, there was a letter left behind, why not make it public?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Xianyu.
After Li Xianyu read the suicide note, he burned it.
Afterwards, no matter who asked or mentioned it, he remained silent.
Not planning to tell anyone.
It was obviously the last thing left behind by the Phoenix, and it was probably of great importance, but he didn't say anything about it.
Li Xianyu met everyone's gaze with a calm expression: "It has nothing to do with you or the war. It's just my personal matter."
Same reply.
Director Zhang nodded: "I believe you are a person who knows what is important and what is important."
No more questions.
