Chapter 676: Chapter 676 If They Don’t Attack, What Is Waiting For Them Is Only The Destruction.
Song Zihuai smiled bitterly. He did not answer Chu Yunsheng directly, but said a topic that seemed to be irrelevant: “Do you know why Fang Yuehou waited until the last minute to send out his troops?”
“He naturally has his consideration.” Chu Yunsheng said with a calm expression.
Song Zihuai flicked the cigarette butt and said in a deep voice: “People outside think he is waiting for your victory. In fact, he is waiting for a piece of top-secret information about the citation in the north.”
Chu Yunsheng didn’t know the situation, but after thinking about it, he understood what he was talking about, “I think something happened to the north. The order was fabricated, and he finally got conclusive intelligence evidence.”
Song Zihuai glanced at him, admiringly said: “You seem to know everything.”
Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said, “What I know is limited, there are still things that I don’t know. But in terms of that thing, it is nothing but a trap set up by Duo Neng Race to lure all of you in.”
Song Zihuai sighed: “Before the darkness, because of you, we found that the time that was told to us didn’t match. For this reason, we have specially prepared two sets of plans. My senior superiors also noticed the strangeness, but unfortunately, it was too late. He is very powerful, and he also suddenly launched… Now, he has probably moved to the Arctic base.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded: “So this information dispels Fang Yuehou’s last worry, and then we have a common enemy, but I didn’t expect that commander Fang would be this patriotic.”
Song Zihuai was silent for a moment, and said, “Although this is the case, the situation now is extremely dire. There are man-eating creatures everywhere, cities are isolated, and communication between each city is also difficult, survival and preservation of human power are the top priorities, so I don’t recommend doing this too early.”
Chu Yunsheng raised his head and said sternly: “Survival must be based on safety. The existence of the forces on the west of Shanghai is always a hidden danger. They can use it as a springboard to attack at any time, but we are always at a disadvantageous position, so within a month, we must unify the whole city!”
Song Zihuai said with a reluctant expression: “You also know our current strength. We only have three divisions with average strength. They are all struggling to defend against man-eating creatures, but they have eight main divisions. Even if one of them suffered heavy losses seven days ago, there are still seven. In addition, in terms of the Awakener Forces, our original number plus those who were captured and persuaded to surrender seven days ago are less than a quarter of theirs. Then our weapons, equipment, and technology are completely inferior to them, and the only advantage we have is you and the Phantom Sect Leader.”
Chu Yunsheng already knew these things when he was still in Room 87, but he also knew a fact, which was what he wanted to say now, “Most of the materials that were gathered before the Great Darkness are stored in the west of Shanghai. We only have one month’s food reserves, and part of it was seized by Fang Baixiao seven days ago. If we can’t unify the whole city in a month, we will lose even without a fight.”
Song Zihuai said, “Professor Sun is responsible for solving the food problem. The genetically modified specimens you provided have saved them a lot of trouble and speed up their research a lot. I believe they will be able to produce edible food soon. At present, the corpses of wild creatures can be used after detoxification. It should be able to support half a year. The expansion of the military must also take half a year to complete training and form combat effectiveness. The production of new weapons by the Weapons Research Institute also requires cycles. Therefore, military operations can only be launched in half a year at the earliest.”
The so-called genetically modified specimens were technical materials prepared by the scientists in Sky City before he entered the Pseudo-Monolith. Normal earth crops would not be able to survive in the dark age, they could only be replanted after they were genetically modified with the genetic sequences of the plants from the dark age like mushroom forests, but the selection of specimens was as difficult as the search for filament materials for light bulbs in the past. It took a lot of time and failure to find the right plants, extract the right gene fragments, and insert the genes that could adapt to the dark age into ordinary crops.
And the appearance of Chu Yunsheng allowed the scientists of the scientific research base to pass the intermediate research phase, greatly speeding up the process, so Song Zihuai was very confident.
As for the technology of detoxification, Old Youling had more methods than Chu Yunsheng. Under the “careful” guidance of Professor Youling, this problem had already been resolved a few days ago, and the remaining work was only the large-scale mass production.
But Song Zihuai could wait, Chu Yunsheng couldn’t wait. He knew better than anyone what kind of enemies he was facing now. Together, these people would form an extremely powerful force that they would be able to defeat. Once they realized this and recovered from the battle seven days ago, his little force would be estimated by them in a split second.
So they needed to do it fast, whether it was the basic research, technology application, or weapon modification. They needed to expand their military force at a crazy speed, attack the enemy without interruption, and give the opponent no chance to breathe, even if it meant that they needed to pretend it. They need to deter them, making them suspicious, and dare not act rashly.
This was the current situation: If they don’t attack, what is waiting for them is only the destruction.
Although it may be a bit immoral to tie other people to his dangerous chariot, from the moment Fang Yuehou sent out troops, they had no other way but to go down with him, even if it was a dead end.
Chu Yunsheng understood this, so did Song Zihuai, so his insistence could not defeat Chu Yunsheng’s insistence. As Song Zihuai himself said, Chu Yunsheng and Old Youling were their biggest advantages compared to the forces in the west of Shanghai. They were nothing if they didn’t have them.
“Of course, there is a reason why I made such a decision.” Chu Yunsheng paused and said, “Actually, even if the other side doesn’t attack us, we will not be able to survive for another six months. There are some things you still don’t know. The danger hidden in the dark outside the city is not weaker than any enemy. You think that you have achieved a balance with the man-eating creatures, but in fact, it won’t be the case. After a while, the army of the insect will approach the city. At that time, not just us, even those aliens will try to avoid them. So you really think without uniting Shanghai, you will be able to survive?”
Song Zihuai frowned in thought, and keenly grasped the keyword and said: “They will have a unified commanding system?”
Chu Yunsheng nodded and said: “Many kinds of man-eating creatures may just be acting on their own, but there are a few creatures that are not like them. Among them, the red-shelled insects are the most well-organized, and they are even better than the most elite and well-disciplined troops of mankind. Soon their commander will appear or probably it has already appeared, but we don’t know.”
Song Zihuai thought for a second and said, “The area under our control has seven space tunnels, and each tunnel is heavily guarded. As long as any creature rushes out of it, it will be killed on the spot. So far, there shouldn’t be any more advanced creatures.”
“The entrance of the space tunnel is not limited to the city, but there are more outside.” Chu Yunsheng said in a deep voice, “However, these space entrances will eventually weaken over time and will eventually disappear without a trace, and the insect’s commanders don’t necessarily have to come through the tunnel, their life information is scattered throughout their colonized area, only… I have already told Professor Sun in detail about those creatures, this is not what you need to concern. You just need to know that they are already here.”
In the past seven days, Chu Yunsheng had already talked to Professor Sun about the way the insects entered the earth for the first time. It was so magical that it was almost unimaginable. Every creature that came out of the space would evolve at a rapid pace in an extremely short time. Using this method, they would successfully avoid having their bodies being shredded when they entered a low-dimensional space from a high-dimensional space.
If humans could not kill those insects in time after they came out of the tunnel, those insects would successfully evolve to their original form. At that time, it would be much harder to kill them.
Song Zihuai frowned, stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, and asked, “How long do we have?”
“Two months, two months at most!” Chu Yunsheng said firmly.
Song Zihuai pondered for a moment. At this time, every decision was a matter of life and death, so he had to be cautious: “Although it’s a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, after the city is unified, what methods will you use to defend the city?”
He knew that since Chu Yunsheng was eager to unify the city, he must have thought of a strategy for how to deal with it, and this strategy must also be related to unifying the city, but because of the mystery of Chu Yunsheng, he still could not figure out what it could be.
However, he did not expect that Chu Yunsheng simply said, “Life! Use people’s life to buy our time!”
When Song Zihuai heard this, his face instantly turned pale, and he could not help but stagger. After a long time, he said slowly and feebly: “You… you have planned this since the beginning. The reason why you let me use radio and television to spread information before the darkness fell was not to save people, but to give them a glimmer of hope of survival, lure them here, and then use them… use their life… You… you…”
He wanted to say “You are too cruel and scary. How could you think of something like this, and are you still a human.”
However, in Chu Yunsheng’s silent stare, Song Zihuai sighed, and as if he suddenly became ten years older in an instant, he said in a exhausted and quiet voice, “…Forget it, if there is a history book in the future, let me bear the blame.”
“Actually-” Chu Yunsheng wanted to explain but he was interrupted by Song Zihuai.
“The deputy commander Fang needs to know this. Later, I will talk to him in detail and come up with a plan as soon as possible. All resources will be used for military expansion within one month. The new army will be expanded to 7 divisions. We will try to modify and replace the weapons of the original main division as much as possible. The awakener forces are directly under your control. You can do whatever you like, we will not interfere. If you need anything, just ask the logistics.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded and said quickly: “I also need all the awakeners from the military. The awakener forces that Yu Xioahai has are made of ordinary people, so they need to be trained. You can have Old Youling. With it, the speed of your weapon research will be increased a lot. In addition, I will act alone, and within a month I will make the forces in the west of Shanghai fall in chaos.”
Song Zihuai said worriedly: “You want to lurk to their side? Is it dangerous? They must be heavily guarded.”
“There shouldn’t be any danger, but you need to keep it secret for me. Don’t tell anyone, even Fang Yuhou.” Chu Yunsheng said sternly.
Song Zihuai nodded and said, “What do I need to do?”
“I need their food storage locations.”
Song Zihuai was silent. He didn’t ask him why he needed it, he simply went back to his desk and opened a locked safe, and took out a map and files. He handed it over to Chu Yunsheng and said: “This is all the information you need, including the security systems that were installed in those facilities.”
Chu Yunsheng picked up the map and the files and looked at them carefully. He was very familiar with the city, so he quickly selected several targets, then put them in his pocket, and finally said: “There is another thing. What do you know about master Yi Jing, that old man?
