"No, we can't cooperate with such an uncontrollable person. Today, he attacked the Japanese survivors. Who knows if he will lure the mutants to attack England tomorrow?
What if he goes crazy and wants to rule the world? Where will we stand at that time?
I think it's necessary to dispatch the Apaches and kill this guy under the guidance of the hunters … "
After the apocalypse, 99% of the countries in the world have been destroyed. Even if he wants to conquer Earth, there isn't enough manpower for him to do so. We are in a great era of change, we are creating a new history. Any decision we make could revitalize or destroy England. Therefore, I ask you to make a decision seriously, clear-headed, and even coldly. Don't mix your emotions with it. We can't afford to lose anything … "This was the first time Byron directly refuted the General. Byron had always respected the General. The General's personality was straightforward and dared to love and hate. This was what he lacked. He also admired the General in his heart. In his eyes, the General was closer to a normal woman, a cute girl that needed to be loved and coaxed. Therefore, he was willing to follow the General through life and death. If it wasn't for him racking his brains to help the General get through all kinds of crises, the General wouldn't have reached where he is today. At most, he would be a senior thug in the House of Lords.
This was the first time Byron directly refuted the General. Byron had always respected the General. The General had a straightforward personality, daring to love and hate, which he lacked. He also admired the General in his heart. In his eyes, the General was closer to a normal woman, a cute girl that needed to be loved and coaxed. That was why he was willing to follow the General through fire and water. If it wasn't for him racking his brains to help the General get through all kinds of crises, the General wouldn't have reached where he was today. At best, he would only be a high-ranking thug in the House of Lords. He wouldn't be able to command the entire House of Commons like he did today. All of this was planned in secret by the wise and resourceful Byron. Because of his consistent performance, he was given the nickname of Sinister Snake.
Byron had always been the General's right-hand man, always making up for any loopholes in the General's decisions. But today, Byron actually overruled the General. It wasn't a tactful advice, but a complete rebuttal. The General couldn't accept it for a while and stared blankly at the gloomy Byron as if he was looking at a stranger. Byron felt pain in his heart when he saw the General's expression. His mind instantly returned to the first time he met the General. That prideful and confident girl who was filled with serving the country and the people. That village girl who wasn't beautiful but believed that with power, she could protect all Britons.
"Now, listen to my opinion …" Byron took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he calmed down and returned to his previous state of being a strategist. At this time, the young officer didn't dare to interrupt, and the General also calmed down. After all, she knew that Byron was the reason why she could be where she was today. In some cases, Lieutenant Colonel Byron was more like a teacher to her.
"Let's not talk about the fact that we can't kill him. If a super evolved person wants to escape, no one can stop him unless we use a nuclear bomb. But that will create a very dangerous enemy. He's from China, and this is Japan. Even if we kill more Japanese and destroy his camp, he won't suffer any losses. On the contrary, the revenge that will follow will make our precarious situation even worse. Also, even if we are lucky enough to kill him, what will we get?
We won't get anything, and he only killed a small team of evolved people. Including the crew, there were only six of them. But how many of us did New Era kill?
More than six thousand, right?
This time, we came out to fight for new energy. With energy, Britain will have a future, and New Era also knows this. That's why they are trying their best to stop us. If we make a mistake and place our hostility on China, New Era will have a chance. We won't have an advantage on two fronts, and we will definitely be wiped out. Is this what you want to see?
Because of the death of six people, we will lose all of our strength and the hope of Britain's rise. "
Byron's long speech made the general think deeply, and the young officer felt ashamed. He was too idealistic. Of course, at the moment, they did not have an advantage in terms of strength. The only thing they could count on was the Blood Twisting Flower to produce a Blood Seed. A Blood Seed was a good thing. No one would have thought that they could find a treasure in Japan that could allow ordinary people to evolve and strengthen evolved people. However, this treasure needed human blood to be watered. The blood of three ordinary people could only produce one Blood Seed, and the probability of one Blood Seed allowing a person to evolve was only 30%. This meant that four Blood Seeds were needed to make an ordinary person evolve. If they wanted to make 1,000 ordinary people evolve, they would need the lives of 12,000 ordinary people to water the Blood Twisting Flower.
"Alright, I won't interfere in this matter anymore. Time is running out. If we can't think of a solution within half a month, the Red Algae here will expand to a range of ten kilometers. At that time, we won't have a chance anymore. Ten kilometers of Red Algae is enough to attract tens of thousands of mutated creatures to feed here. Therefore, I hope to find the principle of the growth of the Red Algae before anyone else."
The general finally compromised, but she felt a deep sense of helplessness. She already had high expectations of herself, but she could not keep up with her expectations. She only felt a deep sense of fatigue. Byron did not think that he had won. He only felt that the general could go one step further after this compromise. She could learn to think like a superior, and not be swayed by emotions. However, he did not know that the general had already started to doubt himself, and her confidence was getting lower and lower.
"The hunter team has sent back the latest news … They've figured out the person's goal. It's a large gathering place deep in the forest. The initial estimate is that there are more than thirty thousand people. The location has been marked, and it's within the radius of our activity …"
The latest report was sent to the few of them by the intelligence officer. Looking at the report, the general did not express her opinion immediately. Instead, she looked at Byron with a questioning gaze, as if Byron was the true master who would decide the fate of the British dispatch forces. At that moment, Byron placed all his attention on the red dot on the map. After a long time, he let out a deep breath and said, "Perhaps we won't have to worry about the Bloods very soon. We can order the teams to prepare to accept the survivors. I believe that we'll have a great harvest this time."
The general nodded in agreement and said, "Although we don't know what his goal is, he's helped us a lot this time. If we manage it well, we can get at least a few thousand evolvers …"
The general and Lieutenant Colonel Byron once again reached an agreement. The young officer nodded in agreement, but he had a strange thought in his mind. They had captured these evolvers to be used as blood slaves to water the Twisting Blood Flower. Compared to Zhang Xiaoqiang luring the zombies to attack the gathering place, the general did not show any mercy. In other words, she had deliberately ignored the pity she had for the Japanese. The young officer was just guessing, but Lieutenant Colonel Byron knew that the general was still the same as before. She would only give her all for Britain, and if her feelings were excluded, she would be the leader of Britain's revival more than anyone else.
"Should we get in touch with him?"
The young officer thought that the general had changed his mind and had reached an agreement with Lieutenant Colonel Byron. He became more active and expressed his new ideas in an attempt to deepen his impression on the general. Lieutenant Colonel Byron also looked at the general, waiting for his response. Unexpectedly, the general shook his head and said, "There's no need. He will do his thing, and we will do ours. We'll take one step at a time. I don't believe that he can play any role by himself. A lone Chinese is not worthy of our attention. If the mission in Japan is over, I'd rather he stay in Japan forever … I don't want to see China rise again because of this person …"
The world was like a big cake. If other people had more, they would have less. Zhang Xiaoqiang's ability was really strong, and he knew how to lead the zombies. If such a person returned to China, he could rely on China's population and vast land to unite the remaining survivors in China. At that time, the structure of the new world would definitely change. Byron did not refute this time. The reason he wanted to form an alliance with Zhang Xiaoqiang was to use Zhang Xiaoqiang to deal with New Era, not to let Zhang Xiaoqiang grow into a strong person that could threaten Britain's development.
"At his level, one person's strength is no less than ten thousand people. It's right to restrict him from leaving Japan, but it's still necessary to get in touch with him. Don't forget, Y 'lisabet is still in his hands …"
Byron reminded the general, and this reminded her of the destruction of Jason's team. She became irritated and no longer said anything. She stood up and walked out. Looking at the general leaving, Byron's mouth was full of bitterness. He was afraid that the general would always treat Zhang Xiaoqiang as an enemy. If that was the case, when two tigers fought, one would definitely be injured. He did not want to see anything happen to this woman.
"Instruct the hunter team to pay attention to intelligence and make some initial contact. Also, get the field team ready to depart. This time, we need to prepare as many Bloods as possible …"
The young officer immediately stood up to receive Byron's order. He did not question the disagreement between Byron and the general. Instead, he was excited and prepared to issue the order. If they could cultivate Bloods on a large scale this time, he would also benefit greatly …
