771 The curse of fate
Afternoon, 4:30 pm.
Shanghai, baoze’s headquarters, ice storage!
The freezer was a temporary place to store the bodies of the employees who died in the war. It had the same function as the mortuary in the hospital. After the death of the employees, they would be stored here and the administrative department would arrange the funeral.
if the staff’s family members wanted to retrieve the body and bury it themselves, baoze would give a generous compensation for the family members to buy a cemetery and hold a funeral.
For employees like San Wu who had no parents and no family, the funeral was handled by baoze and buried together in the company’s Cemetery, together with the martyrs.
The door of the freezer opened, and a girl covered with a white cloth came out of his squarish mouth.
lightning king stood next to him, his face full of sadness and his eyes red.
li xianyu stood in front of the girl’s body. he reached out and held a corner of the white cloth.
at this time, li xianyu’s whole body began to tremble for some reason. even his lips lost their color.
It was a light piece of white cloth. His hands trembled, trembled, and trembled, but he was unable to remove it.
“Why don’t we just stop looking?” Lightning King held li Xianyu’s hand.
His whole body trembled, as if he had been startled. He was in a daze and only reacted after a while. He looked at lightning King blankly. ah? ” A sound.
Lightning King turned his head and looked up at the sky, so that his tears would not fall.
The White cloth was lifted, and San Wu was lying quietly. She was always so quiet. When she was in a daze, she was like a lifeless puppet.
It was easy for people to ignore her existence.
The girl’s facial features were still exquisite, but this time, she had completely lost her vitality and was deathly pale.
“How did he die?” Li Xianyu’s voice was hoarse.
After reading ice shards ‘letter, he gave up the idea of going back in time and rushed back to Shanghai as fast as he could.
Time passed very quickly on the way back because he could not hear anything or see anything. He was in a daze as he returned to Shanghai.
“He was seriously injured in the battle with the Sea King, then fell into the sea and died in the aftermath of the battle between the immortal Bird and duo erqu.” Lightning King’s nasal voice was heavy.
at that time, she lost her wallet. The pilot gave her his blood medicine, but unfortunately, her injuries were too serious and she couldn’t be saved.
“…. She left before the reinforcements arrived.”
Li Xianyu nodded and touched the girl’s cheek with his fingers. He was careful and gentle, as if she was just sleeping and did not dare to wake up.
“In fact, she died once in Japan. I turned back time and saved her, but I haven’t told you about it. ”
Lightning King nodded slightly. Li Xianyu only said that he was defeated twice in Japan and backtracked twice. He did not elaborate on the details, and lightning King did not let li Xianyu write a mission report.
He guessed that the ending might not be good.
even now, when I recall that scene, my heart still palpitates. It’s too painful, my heart is in too much pain …
“I, in the end, was unable to save her.” Li Xianyu said softly.
Lightning King felt suffocated. Perhaps li Xianyu’s appearance at this moment was very similar to him not long ago.
He was clearly in pain and sorrow, but he still had to pretend to be calm and not reveal his emotions.
In such a suffocating environment, lightning King also said softly, ” “The pilot who brought her back said that she was smiling before she left.”
“She had her last words, but she left before she could finish,” he added.
“What last words?”
“Help me ask him, I have something …”
Lightning King didn’t go on, and that was all his last words.
Then, he realized that because of his words …
The man beside her was a man who had experienced life and death several times and had been through hundreds of battles.
It collapsed.
……
At 5 pm.
The setting sun sank into the horizon, and the magnificent golden-red clouds stubbornly refused to leave.
Conference Room 1!
Qin ze sat in the CEO’s seat, with lightning King standing behind him. On his left was li Xianyu, great-grandma. On the right side were li peiyun and dan chenzi. Now, there was one more, Jie se!
The holographic projections of the nine directors had also appeared. The atmosphere in the conference room was unusually heavy and silent.
Chairman Zhang coughed and broke the silence. He said in a low voice, ” “Everyone, what should we do now?”
The situation was so bad that even he, a wily old fox who had been in politics for many years, couldn’t think of a solution.
Chairman Xu, who was relatively young, looked around at the crowd. Seeing that no one was speaking, he said, ” three ways: the first is to fire li Xianyu immediately and announce the results of the fire to the public. Then, run as far away as you can and try not to be found by Dolf and the Association of superpowered beings. Wait for the fruit to ripen.”
the second option is to find a way to extract the fruit, surrender, and seek peace.
“The third option is to fight to the death with them.”
These three paths were the decisions made by the forces behind Chairman Xu after some consideration.
Chairman Xu, who represented the power behind him, made this suggestion during the board meeting.
Chairman Zhang snorted. after firing li Xianyu, how can you guarantee that duoerjing won’t kill Qin ze? ” he asked.
Chairman Xu frowned. duo erjing’s goal is the fruit, not us. It’s not baoze.
The Oval-faced woman snorted coldly,”my great-grandfather said that the war criminals who surrender will be executed.” Would duo erjing let it go? He was willing, but neither was Beckley Reedson. The first option can be ruled out directly. Baoze has no way out, and it’s not something that can be solved by firing li Xianyu.”
Another bald director knocked on the table and glanced at the woman with the Oval face. “A price has to be paid for defeat. This is inevitable. But it can reduce baoze’s losses and stabilize the turmoil in the demon descendants ‘community.”
“To look at the problem from the perspective of the big picture, some sacrifices are inevitable. Baoze can’t fight against the Association of superpowered beings now. No, it has never fought against them.”
In other words, he was planning to sacrifice Qin ze.
“You’re going to kneel again?” The Oval-faced woman sneered and said sharply, ” “Aren’t people of your age the ones with the heaviest knees?”
“My man is not afraid of death, neither am I. Our entire family is not afraid of sacrifice. However, I will definitely not sacrifice myself in such a dishonorable and meaningless way.”
The bald director was furious and slammed the table.
“Cough, cough, cough …” Chairman Zhang coughed hard and squinted at the Oval-faced woman. Although he wasn’t bald, he was the age with the heaviest knees according to her.
the first and third plans are the same, ” Chairman Zhang said in a deep voice. as for baoze’s results, you can refer to Japan.
it’s nothing more than the Association of superpowered beings setting up relevant departments in all parts of baoze, and sitting on our heads every day. Turn our demon descendants community into a subsidiary of the Association of superpowered beings.”
from the perspective of the big picture, this is indeed in line with the so-called big picture view of some people, but is this really the case? ”
“Baoze’s top masters will be sentenced to death as war criminals and sacrificed in vain. According to the style of the Association of superpowered beings, they must suppress baoze, abuse their power, and incite the various forces in the demon descendants ‘community. The demon descendants ‘community that we have finally stabilized will fall into chaos again, and even affect the society of ordinary people.”
“This is the so-called big picture?” Chairman Zhang said with a sense of justice. It’s just a temporary life in exchange for the future generations ‘cowardice.”
even in the old society, our demon descendants ‘community has never been manipulated like a little girl. If we let the demon descendants’ community become like an island country in our hands … Who has the guts to bear this eternal crime?”
“I don’t have any.”
“Also, 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 here to watch the meeting.
“So you mean to fight? Fight to the death with them?” Another director frowned.
“Dolf has returned to the peak of Gokudo path, and Beckley Reedson has devoured the shed, so he’s another peak Gokudo path. They still had the Kusanagi sword, so how could they fight? With the few of you?” The bald director slammed the table. there’s no chance of winning. Even if we fight, we’ll be courting death.
“It’s better to die in battle than to die,” the Oval-faced woman retorted.
It even rhymed … The bald director was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
“Directors, if we are done, please listen to me.” Qin ze’s calm voice attracted the nine directors ‘attention.
“First of all, I have to reflect on myself and admit my mistakes. I’ve messed up this battle again. It’s my mistake, I didn’t take the lead as the CEO.”
Great-grandma snorted. you’re the weakest Gokudo master. What are you leading for? ”
Qin ze knew that the unparalleled war spirit was exonerating him, but in fact, there was no need to. The above was just a formality.
He continued,”the enemy is difficult to deal with, everyone has seen it.” So, I shamelessly found an excuse for myself.”
then, regarding Chairman Xu’s three ways, we actually only have one way to go, and that is to fight to the death, to fight until our heads are broken, to fight until our talents are exhausted, to fight until we die.
“Why?”
because the fruit will not fall into the hands of dorchid or Beckley. To be precise, the fruit can not fall into the hands of any ambitious person.
why did we form an alliance with the undying bird in the past? the ruler is too terrifying. If we let the undying bird live, it would be irresponsible to the country, the people, and even all of mankind.
“Based on this reason, we are destined to fight the enemy to the death. We can’t hand over the fruit. Unless you want to keep your hair in braids and shout to a certain fellow in dragon robes, ” Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor.”
“The times have changed. I definitely can’t have one now.”
the two of them will ruin the entire human civilization.
The directors fell silent.
“Then, if we fight, do we have any chance of winning?” Qin ze stood up, his palms on the table, and his eyes were sharp. “There are.”
At this moment, he was filled with the majesty and sharpness of a ‘Big Boss’.
“Do you have a chance of winning?” The directors ‘eyes lit up.
“Do you remember how the demon descendants ‘community settled the chaos of Quanzhen more than 80 years ago?” that’s right, ” Qin ze said quickly. it’s the human wave tactic.
“In this world, the peak of individual power can never win against the power of a group. As long as we have enough people, we can destroy Dolf and kill Beck richadson.”
Chairman Xu interrupted him. what’s with the human wave tactic? I used to have many masters in our demon descendants ‘community, and I gave birth to one genius after another. However, it was obviously not enough with just them. Moreover, since last year, the demon descendants community has been in turmoil, and too many masters have been killed or injured. Even if you want to recruit soldiers, you can only recruit a group of ugly people.”
“You want them to kill two peak Gokudo Masters?”
“Of course, it’s not just us.” Qin ze said,”I’ve already had a meeting with the chairman of the ‘Bello Berg Palace’ and invited them to join forces against the Association of superpowered beings.” They’re having a meeting right now, and the results will be out soon.”
The ” beeloberg Palace ” was the headquarters of the official organization in Whitebear.
“In addition, there is also the demon descendants ‘community in Japan and the Imperial court. There is one peak half-step Gokudo master in the Bello Palace, one who has just entered the half-step Gokudo path, and three peak half-step Gokudo Masters in the Imperial court. With us, we’ll be able to fight doldi, Beck reedrson, and the Association of superpowered beings to the death.”
Hiss … The directors gasped in shock.
In this way, the high-end combat power of the world’s demon descendants community was almost gathered. The destructive power of the senior half-step Gokudo path was comparable to that of a human nuclear bomb. This was because it could temporarily unleash the power of a Gokudo master.
And in such a war, how many human-shaped nuclear bombs were there?
Chairman Zhang immediately shook his head. no, this won’t do. There’s no place for you to hit. How many people are you trying to kill? The higher-ups would not agree. If it really comes to that, things will get out of hand.”
This was no longer a matter of whether the higher-ups agreed or not … “For this battle, we’ll set the battlefield in new York,” li Xianyu said lightly.
The directors ‘faces froze.
“You’re going to set the battlefield in new York? Fighting in their base? This is too rash, isn’t it walking right into a trap? the odds of winning aren’t high to begin with …”
wrong, ” li Xianyu waved his hand and interrupted the directors ‘chatter, ”
‘giant’ margettirahan and ‘Sea King’ Angie Charles have died in battle one after another. Other than Beck Reedson, the Association of superpowered beings is short of high-end combat power for a short period of time. They are at their weakest.
“Only by moving the battlefield to America can we be free. In the past few days, the Association of superpowered beings had attacked various branches. How many ordinary people had been affected? The number of casualties is on your table. the storm of public opinion has already caused you to be sprayed with dog blood from the top.”
Since you decided to go to war with baoze, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.
I want the Association of superpowered beings to pay the price.
the directors muttered to themselves.
If this battle was inevitable, it would be better to leave the battlefield abroad than to leave it at home.
“You are announcing the existence of the demon descendants community to the world.” Chairman Zhang rubbed his forehead.
From the perspective of a manager, they naturally did not agree. However, the current situation was already out of their control. It was even out of the control of a country’s political power.
If you want to suppress them, sure. But be prepared to choose the third option and be prepared to be cursed for eternity.
However, this still couldn’t solve the problem. The war was not over yet. Li Xianyu and the unparalleled war spirit would not sit still and wait for death.
The European church and the official organization of Japan had limited friendship with baoze. It was li Xianyu and Li peiyun who had established a friendship with the church and the official organization.
he would definitely help.
At that time, the outcome would still be the same even if several human-shaped nuclear bombs collided.
Dorsey and Beck richadson had crossed the ocean to fight for the fruit, but they would not care about the safety of ordinary people. Everyone would fight in a desolate place.
It was impossible.
He could neither control the Li family nor the enemy.
you’ve told the secret of the fruit to Whitebear, ” Chairman Xu reminded him. how can you make sure that they won’t become the second Beck Hudson? ”
“No, I didn’t reveal the existence of the fruit. I’m just inviting them to attack the Association of superpowered beings together.” Qin ze said,”in this battle, we still have to use the time difference.” If I’m not wrong, it’ll take some time for Beck richadson to fuse and master the shedding. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the normal way is to lay low for a while.”
Thinking of the history of the association of superpowered beings and the official White Bear organization, Chairman Xu nodded and accepted it.
Chairman Zhang sighed and asked, ” the immortal Bird left a letter before it died. Why didn’t you publicize it? ”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at li Xianyu.
After li Xianyu finished reading the will, he burned it.
After the incident, no matter who asked or mentioned it, he remained silent.
He didn’t intend to tell anyone.
It was clearly the last thing left by the immortal Bird, and it was likely to be of great importance, but he didn’t say anything.
Li Xianyu looked at everyone’s eyes and said calmly, ” “It has nothing to do with you or the war. It’s just my personal matter.”
It was the same reply.
“I believe that you are a person who knows what is important and what is not.” Chairman Zhang nodded.
He didn’t ask anymore.
