You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 102
Chapter 102: Looting Amidst The Chaos
The Ghost Race army came aggressively, bypassing China, and heading straight for the islands of Japan.
If someone were to look down from above, they would see that the vast darkness had completely engulfed Japan’s territory. The small islands were like grains of rice in a vast granary, helplessly drifting in the air.
“Our nation is still here! Our Sect is still here! ”
This was the heartfelt cry of many Japanese people.
They believed that even if their nation had committed such an immoral act as discharging nuclear wastewater into the sea, it would protect them at this time.
However, from the beginning of the Ghost Race’s attack on Japan, to the complete annihilation of the Japanese army, and to the nation being completely bloodbathed and becoming a desolate land, the Grandmaster of the Sakura Pavilion never appeared.
The entire Japanese Cultivation World seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
“Can’t even the Japanese Cultivation World withstand the Ghost Race army? ”
When Li Weimin learned of Japan’s destruction, he lifted his head from a table full of experiments and sighed, “The Ghost Race is truly powerful! ”
“Whether they can withstand it is another matter, but I know they certainly didn’t even try to resist. ”
Su Qin’an sneered, “They definitely ran away! ”
Because Su Qin’an hadn’t sensed any Spiritual Energy fluctuations from the direction of Japan the entire time.
As for the Sakura Pavilion… did they run away?
Indeed, they ran away.
With nearly 80,000 troops surrounding Japan, why wouldn’t they run?
What’s more, the Sakura Pavilion’s Supreme Spiritual Artifact, the Imperial Halberd, is currently at the Daojian Sect, waiting to be refined.
As for where they ran to… if Su Qin’an knew, he would definitely praise their boldness.
Because they ran to Uncle Sam, to seek the Saintly Radiance.
The India Cultivation World also did the same; they also wanted to flee to China for protection.
There was no other way; India’s own military strength was too weak. The reason it hadn’t been completely destroyed yet was because the Cultivation World was protecting it.
However, with nearly 70,000 troops constantly loitering around its territory, occasionally firing a couple of shots to intimidate them, the India Cultivation World’s mental fortitude was nearing its limit.
They absolutely needed to find a Big Shot to cling to.
The Huaxia Cultivation World was quite good.
As for the price… aren’t they discussing it with Yin Wanshan and the others right now?
After all, if you want to occupy our territory and use our resources, you have to pay a price, right?
But it’s not hard to imagine that after this catastrophe, the India Cultivation World will certainly be in a slump.
……
The agreement between Russia and China for the purchase of plasma shields and other weapons was signed quickly, and China stated that it would help Russia repair six launch towers and activate the plasma shields within three weeks.
For this shield, Russia also paid a heavy price. But as long as they could overcome the current difficulties, any sacrifice would be worthwhile.
Other countries, seeing that Russia had obtained plasma shields, hastened their negotiations with China for purchases.
Especially Uncle Sam, who had always been at odds with Russia’s large predecessor, the former Soviet Union, and after Russia’s large-scale blockade, continued to sanction a number of socialist countries back then. Now, the tables have turned, and they have to beg their former enemy. It is likely that they had already done a lot of psychological preparation.
In the China conference room, high-level officials from Uncle Sam and China were gathered together, discussing the sale of shields.
The lineup on both sides was considerable. Uncle Sam sent nearly 20 personnel of various types, while China was represented by Liu Qiming, the Foreign Minister, and others who met with the Uncle Sam negotiating team.
No one knew what they talked about, nor how they negotiated the price.
Su Qin’an only knew that when the Uncle Sam negotiating team left China and boarded the plane back home, everyone’s faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
It was clear that they had been severely overcharged by China.
On the plane, there were occasional outbursts of rage, but no one heard them.
“They’re exploiting the situation! They’re profiteering! ”
“Shameless! Such a large country can actually do this! Are they trying to destroy us! ”
“They always claim to be a responsible major country, yet they’re profiteering at this time! Don’t they know that humanity’s fate is intertwined at this moment! ”
They seemed to have forgotten that the phrase “humanity’s fate is intertwined” requires a power base.
In the current situation… Uncle Sam’s absence wouldn’t make a difference, so naturally, they didn’t have the qualification to be connected with China’s fate.
In China, Liu Qiming and others watched the plane leave, each of them smiling broadly.
“Didn’t we earn too much? ”
The Foreign Minister chuckled, “Even though they didn’t say it, I know they’re definitely cursing us right now! ”
“Hmph, let them curse. If I hear them, I won’t install the launch towers for them! I won’t sell them other weapons either! ”
Liu Qiming was unconcerned, “When they sanctioned us, they didn’t have so much to say. Now they remember? As the saying goes, ‘The path you choose, you must walk it even if you cry! ‘”
“That makes sense, I love to hear it! ”
……
The Ghost Commander was quite despondent these days.
According to his plan, if China couldn’t be conquered, then he would attack other countries!
A full-strength China was too difficult to fight, but those other semi-crippled countries would be much easier to defeat, right?
It turned out that he was wrong again.
These already semi-crippled countries were really surprisingly strong!
Those Genetically Modified Troops were also incredibly strong.
Not only strong, but also incredibly tenacious.
Even as they died one after another, they kept charging forward, as if they were fearless.
The Ghost Race’s pride, its technology, was completely useless against them.
Of course, China was also playing a role in this.
But the continuous defeats had pushed the Ghost Commander to the brink of madness.
So, he made a decision: return to the beginning and attack China.
He couldn’t swallow that humiliation! Besides, there were no other targets left.
Thus, the East Sea of China, which had been peaceful for several weeks, was once again shattered, as countless Ghost Race members landed on the East Sea, heading towards China’s territory.
The dense warships and airplanes turned the faces of the coastal residents pale; they had never seen so many weapons of war.
The Chinese military didn’t say anything, because once the enemy’s attack hit the plasma shields, everything would be clear.
The enemy’s attack was still fierce, but it was useless against the plasma shields.
Just like last time, the sky was filled with fire blooming on the plasma shields, like the most dazzling fireworks in the world, but it was all sound and fury signifying nothing. Not even a single ripple appeared on the plasma shields, let alone cracks.
Seeing this scene, the coastal residents finally felt relieved.
“I told you, the country wouldn’t react, they’re definitely confident! ”
“The Ghost Race is useless, their attacks are completely ineffective! ”
“Give it your all! Didn’t you eat? ”
Xie Yingqing had already led her troops to wait at the East Sea coast, waiting for the enemy’s Genetically Modified Troops to appear so they could have some fun.
Su Qin’an was conducting an experiment in the laboratory. After sensing the border situation through the Formation Runes and finding it impregnable, he smiled slightly and continued his work.
The most curious person should be the Ghost Commander.
He could see the situation here, and naturally knew that the troops he had sent were constantly being consumed, while the damage inflicted on the opponent was negligible.
Yet, he didn’t show any signs of nervousness.
“Continue the attack! ”
A strange smile appeared on the Ghost Commander’s lips, “The commotion must be great! “
