In just half a day, the United States had already suffered huge losses.
One had to know that the empress had gone on a killing spree in Manhattan, where Wall Street and most of the world's top 500 companies were located. Almost everyone here was an elite from the Citibank and other industries.
This was also the cornerstone of the country.
It wasn't unacceptable to lose tens of thousands of people. However, the composition of the people made many people feel pain.
Needless to say, the empress's killing spree made many people afraid.
The combat power she displayed could be said to be invincible. If she wanted someone's life, no one could stop her.
In a situation where they couldn't defeat her, paying a certain price to make peace was the only option.
However, Ren Baqian didn't even bother with their contact requests.
As a last resort, some people had to urgently negotiate with the higher-ups of China.
That afternoon, the casualties increased by tens of thousands.
Now, the number of casualties had already exceeded 100,000.
The number of casualties caused in just one day was enough to make the United States unable to recover for 10 years.
Needless to say, the huge shock brought about by this incident had a similarly huge impact on the United States.
That night, Ren Baqian received a call from China.
"Mr. Ren." Yang Sen looked at the young man on the other end of the communication device with mixed feelings.
It was hard to imagine that a few people could actually force such a powerful country to such a state. Even though he had been dealing with Ren Baqian for many years and had a fairly deep understanding of him and Number One, it was still hard to imagine.
"The president of the United States is dead."
"I haven't even gone to find trouble with him, but he's already dead. Don't tell me he died from fear." Ren Baqian was stunned for a moment before laughing.
"Although not, it's almost the same. The president committed suicide, which can be said to be an apology with his death. "Yang Sen sorted out his emotions. "He knew that he couldn't escape. The power that you displayed is enough to prove that no matter where he is, he can't escape."
Ren Baqian was silent for a while. Things definitely weren't that simple.
"So?" Ren Baqian asked.
"Regarding the attack on you, the president and the defense minister issued the order. Although the defense minister is still alive, as long as you want, you can decide his life or death. This also includes those who have been through it. "
Deciding the life or death of a powerful country's defense minister was already unimaginable for ordinary people.
It was even hard to accept that the head of the country and the head of the military could be abandoned at any time.
But, as Yang Sen said, if Ren Baqian and the empress wanted to, they could kill anyone within a certain range.
"Is this an abandoned piece? I'm rather curious as to who talked to you. "Ren Baqian had some guesses.
Although he didn't pay much attention to Earth in recent years, he still knew a little about the United States. When he went to that world, the United States was already the most powerful country in the world.
Its internal form was not a secret.
"I only know that DuPont and Mellon consortium are involved. I don't know anything else." Yang Sen hesitated for a moment.
"What role did they play in this incident?" Ren Baqian wondered. He wasn't sure what role these consortiums played in this incident. But he guessed that he might be playing some roles that weren't very good.
Citi was the Citi of the consortium.
Of course, it wasn't certain either. After all, no one knew that the empress was so powerful before she revealed her incorruptibility.
If the president of the United States wanted to deal with a few slightly stronger humans, he didn't need anyone else's opinion. Especially since he had bombed their military base.
However, he still felt that it was more likely that the consortium played a role in this.
"Do you think I would know about such a thing?" Yang Sen asked.
"That's true."
"In any case, they want to talk peace. It can be said that you have forced a country to bow down to you. Even the president is dead, the minister of defense can be handed over, and the culprit has been punished. Not to mention the bloodshed in Gotham City.
They will also make other compensations! "
Yang Sen didn't say it directly. His tone and demeanor were also discussing, but he still expressed some of the country's thoughts at this time.
The culprit was already dead, and revenge had been taken. The whole world had been blown up, so it was about time to stop.
After all, it couldn't go on forever.
"The culprit isn't necessarily the one who will be punished!" Ren Baqian said faintly.
"What do you want?" Yang Sen asked directly.
"I would like to know what benefits they gave you to contact me directly?" Ren Baqian asked. He wanted to know what role those consortiums played, but they definitely wouldn't admit it.
The insider was probably the unlucky president who was already dead.
The minister of defense didn't need to know the specific situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been handed over to Ren Baqian alive.
As for the rest, the country definitely received some benefits from the US. Furthermore, these benefits could shut the mouths of many people, which was why Yang Sen said such a thing.
At this time, Ren Baqian was reminding some people. After all, he was the one who was bombed, and he was the one who did it. You want me to stop after receiving benefits? How can there be such a good thing?
It's up to me to decide when to stop!
Yang Sen's gaze shifted as if he was looking at something. He then said, "That gentleman wants to talk to you."
Ren Baqian nodded slightly.
He switched the call to another number. The person talking to Ren Baqian was one of the top figures in China.
After talking for a while, Ren Baqian's face revealed a shocked expression.
After talking for a while, they ended the call, and Ren Baqian fell into deep thought.
The empress wasn't nearby. Instead, she was stirring up a sea of blood in the distance.
Ren Baqian put Lin Qiaole aside and stood on the edge of the fifth floor of a broken building. His eyes flickered incessantly.
The news that he had just received was too important and too shocking.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered a curve in the universe that distorted the concepts of time and space. There were nodes on it, and one could reach other nodes through one node.
The most important thing was that they had already calculated the location of one of the nodes.
In other words, from the discovery of the curve and the node, mankind would enter the interstellar era!
This discovery was enough to shock everyone.
After all, entering the interstellar era meant that Earth had entered a brand new, vast, and filled with countless possibilities.
To make a discovery in a short period of time and enter the interstellar era wasn't something that a country could do alone. It required the whole world to abandon disputes and participate in this together in order to achieve this.
Not only did the US suffer heavy losses under the hands of the empress, but it also paid a huge price to establish contact with China. This allowed China to gain a lot and occupy an absolute leading position when the world entered the interstellar era in the future.
Under such circumstances, the matter between Ren Baqian and the US was something new.
Furthermore, Ren Baqian would also benefit greatly from this. Not only would he receive a large amount of compensation from the US, but his and Ren Wannian's industries would also be able to participate in certain aspects of the interstellar exploration.
This benefit was too great.
It was so great that Ren Baqian couldn't refuse it.
