Chapter 846: Chapter 24 City of Romance (Extra for monthly votes!) Chapter 846: Chapter 24 City of Romance (Extra for monthly votes!) “In fact,” Big Face Cat sighed lightly, “Before my father passed away, he told me something similar to what Lin Xian said.”

“He said the same thing, that if we let Queenstown continue to develop, to annex us, to eliminate us, to enslave us…

it’s really only a matter of time.”

“Because the technological gap between us is simply too great, and with no exchange over so many years, the gap is only widening—it will eventually become unbridgeable, incomprehensible, unbearable…

just like animals and humans.”

“Everyone knows, my father’s line of thinking was to develop ourselves as soon as possible, to grasp the power to confront Queenstown.

That’s why he was so obsessed with knowledge, so obsessed with opening the safe.

All along, we had hoped that the safe could help us change our situation.”

“But just now, Lin Xian has already helped me open the safe, and there was nothing in it but a tattered book.

Moreover, the people in our village are uneducated, and Lin Xian also said the technology in the notebook is too advanced to be realized in this era.”

“So now, we can be sure that my father’s plan has already been shattered.

But the technological development on Queenstown’s side will not stop; in other words, if we continue to hunt, raise pigs, and deceive ourselves…

the end is bound to be tragic, inevitable.”

He picked up the bamboo wine cup on the table, downed it in one gulp, and said through gritted teeth:

Rather than truly waiting until Queenstown attacks and we’re powerless to resist, I think Lin Xian is right.

We can’t continue to sit and wait for death; we really must take the initiative to attack!”

“But, Lian Village has always been a democracy, so let’s do it the old-fashioned way—”

“Let’s vote!”

Finally.

It was the moment for an exhilarating vote!

Big Face Cat never participated in voting, so those present with voting rights were Ah Zhuang, Er Zhuzi, San Pang, as well as Lin Xian and CC.

Ah Zhuang was the first to take a stand, expressing opposition:

“It’s too risky, I disagree.

Moreover, what are the chances we could open Queenstown’s safes, if even they can’t?”

Lin Xian spread his hands:

“Didn’t I just open Lian Village’s safe?

Just give us the chance to see the safe, and I can think of many ways to find out the password.

So I’ll vote yes, I agree.”

San Pang immediately followed with a shake of his head, uttering the line that took up half of his brain’s capacity:

“I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

At that moment,

The voting ratio was 1:2.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Er Zhuzi.

Clearly…

He was from the peace party.

He definitely would not cast a vote in favor.

And as expected,

Er Zhuzi cleared his throat:

“Lin Xian, my brother, I certainly support you in my heart, but…

I have to think about leaving something for the Lin Family, right?

In case anything happens to you…

𝑛𝘰𝘷𝕘𝗼.co

I wouldn’t able to explain to our ancestors!

After much thought, I’d rather stay behind with my younger sister-in-law to provide logistical support.”

“Huh?

I’m going too.”

CC blinked, feeling like Er Zhuzi might have misunderstood something, and said with a tilt of her head:

“I definitely have to go with Lin…

with my husband.

If he’s taking risks at the front, why would I hide behind?”

“Following the husband regardless of circumstances, so wherever Lin Xian goes, I go.

Since I also have a voting right, I’ll definitely have the same attitude as Lin Xian, I agree, I want to go!”

“What’s the difference between a slow death and an immediate one?

Better to fight for a chance of victory.

Even dying in Queenstown isn’t a big deal.”

CC turned and smiled at Lin Xian:

“The two of us, even if we die, will die together.”

…

Lin Xian also stared into CC’s eyes.

He obviously knew.

That CC was acting, playing the role of his wife.

She knew little about feelings.

The only understanding she might have had was from those legendary, tragic love stories.

“Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?”

“Romeo and Juliet?”

It must be like that.

Down the ages, the love stories everyone talked about and celebrated were either about life-and-death partings or couples dying for each other.

It seemed that only love which stakes life seems sincere and commendable.

Is that really the case?

Lin Xian couldn’t be sure.

But at least for CC, she might simply believe that only such faithfulness fitting the legendary stories counted as true love.

That’s why she always harped on about never leaving or forsaking, always sticking to life and death together.

Simple.

Yet pure.

“Sister…

sister-in-law.”

Er Zhuzi’s face was filled with shock:

“You, you’re also going!”

He was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

With a troubled frown,

Finally, he looked at Ah Zhuang and San Pang and shook his head:

“I’ve changed my mind, I cast a favorable vote!”

Big Face Cat laughed:

“Good!”

“Now, it’s 3:2, the resolution passes!

Lin Xian, my brother, tell us, what exactly is your plan?”

Lin Xian nodded:

“I’ve thought about the plan.

We know too little about Queenstown and also lack weapons to confront them.

Therefore, our top priority is to find a powerful ally.”

“The good news is, I’ve already found an ally ahead of time, a human from Mars, who possesses a lot of alien technology.

I’ll bring him to join us right now.”

This was the second step in Lin Xian and CC’s plan—

To get Grandpa Wei Shengjin to join Lian Village!

Firstly, among the dozen or so safes in Queenstown, one might belong to Grandpa Wei Shengjin.

He definitely had to accompany them on this journey to fulfill his dream.
