Other than concealing his identity as the foreign world's god, Zhang Lisheng also told the Atlanteans about the work that he and the other explorers of the Shrimp World No. 2 had done half a year ago. In the end, he said, "Just like this, Sergeant Major Someril and the rest followed the mainlander's merchant ship to the Oasis Mainland. Only I stayed on Scorpion Island as the 'carrot' in front of the donkey's head.
According to the mainland merchants, if everything goes well, the next trade would be three to four months later at the latest. However, I've been waiting on the island for half a year, and I didn't see any sign of the fleet at all. Recently, I can't stand the boring life anymore, so I came back to Shrimp B1 Island. I plan to go back to New York to breathe the air of the civilized world for a few days. "
"Doctor, do you mean that the native tribe on the island has already expanded to several dozens of islands?" Even though the young man tried to use a vague method when talking about the Wizard Li's conquest war, the instant his words left his mouth, White, the supreme commander of the foreign world's island garrison, still asked with an extremely solemn expression.
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel. The expansion speed of the Wizard Li tribe recently is really incredible," Upon hearing the fear in the lieutenant colonel's voice, Zhang Lisheng quickly replied, "But don't worry. Even if they unify the Hellfire Sea Region, their next target will only be the feud, the mainlanders. There's absolutely no harm to Earth."
The young man's words were resolute. Unfortunately, White, who did not know about his identity as the Wizard Li overlord, was not moved by this explanation. Shaking his head, he said solemnly, "Doctor, this is not a question of whether there's any harm to Earth or not.
It's a question of being neighbors with a foreign world's empire that has a territory of millions or even tens of millions of square kilometers in the future, possesses supernatural power, and is in the early stage of industrial civilization. The measures taken by the federation must be changed.
I hope that you can write all your new understanding of the Wizard Li tribe into a written document and hand it over to the federation. "
"Lieutenant Colonel White is right, Dr. Zhang. Those aborigines are not as harmless as you think. Just two days ago, they killed six of our companions. Some of them were sergeants, and some of them were philosophers. They crossed the vast sea of stars to come to Earth, but they died on the land of the foreign world." When Aladus saw that White had expressed his objection, he seized the opportunity to chime in with a gleam in his eyes.
Originally, the death of three to four hundred believers was just a trivial matter in Zhang Lisheng's heart. After knowing that it was not Atlantis who launched an attack on Wizard Li, he had already planned to settle the matter peacefully since he had already vented his anger.
However, now that the Atlanteans had linked this matter to whether the Wizard Li tribe was a threat to the Earth, the young man could only argue. "Sergeant Aladus, I'm very sorry about your companion's sacrifice.
But according to what the natives told me, it was you who provoked them first and burned the Dragon Hawk warriors who were patrolling above the island. After that, you burned their houses and attacked the civilians in their habitat for a few days. That was why you were counterattacked. "
"We provoked them first …" Aladus had a stunned and angry expression on his face. "No, no, Dr. Zhang. We were not the ones who were attacked first.
Half a month ago, according to the plan of the fleet staff officer, we made contact with the aborigines. In the end, we were attacked by them. Some short but powerful native warriors drove the big birds with the heads of beasts to bite us. In a desperate situation, we were forced to fight back and that's how we managed to burn the Dragon Hawk warriors that you mentioned. "
The situation described by Aladus and Tugra was completely different, causing Zhang Lisheng to be slightly stunned. However, it was obvious who was lying between the two. He knew that his believers would never dare to deceive him. The Atlanteans could only be the ones who wanted to make a fool out of him.
When the young man thought of this, a furious expression crept upon his face. When he was about to flare up, he thought about it and said calmly, "Sergeant Aladus, even if what you said is true, then what about the attack that caused the death of a large number of Wizard Li tribesmen? Just because the birds raised by the natives attacked you, you 'collected' hundreds of human lives to pay for it?
Have you and your companions ever thought that if it wasn't for the fact that the Wizard Li tribe abided by the agreement with the US federal government and kept insisting on listing the former human gathering place as a forbidden area, the room we're in now might have already become a scorched land?
Have you ever thought that this kind of wanton massacre of the aborigines might cause the first batch of explorers who have borrowed the power of the aborigines to understand the Shrimp World No. 2 to fall into danger? "
If Zhang Lisheng had indignantly defended the aborigines, the six Atlanteans in the office would have already discussed all kinds of words to refute him. However, the young man's evasive question made everyone speechless at once.
When Zhang Lisheng looked around and saw the fair and delicate faces looking at each other, a cold smile flashed across the corner of Zhang Lisheng's mouth. Fixing his gaze on White, he said, "Alright, Lieutenant Colonel, I'll write the written document about the Wizard Li tribe to the federal military after a few days of rest. Not only that, but I'll also make a specific assessment on the safety of the Wizard Li tribe at the end of the document.
Now, if you're unwilling to send a ship to send me back to New York, I'll take the LS Group's armed transport ship back. It's just a matter of waiting for a few more hours. I have patience. "
How could a truly patient person deliberately emphasize that he was very patient? When White, who had just figured out that the Atlanteans who had been stationed in his camp slaughtered the aborigines on the island during this period of time, saw the young man's calm yet sharp manner, he did not want to go against this billionaire who had a huge potential force in his hands.
However, at the same time, he was afraid that he could not shoulder the responsibility of dereliction of duty. After pondering for a while, he smiled wryly and said, "Doctor, what if the other explorers return to Scorpion Island from the Green Leaf Mainland or those mainlanders from the foreign world who took them in come to Scorpion Island to trade during this period of time?"
"Lieutenant Colonel White, of course, I can think of the problem that you can think of as well," Zhang Lisheng said with a blank expression. "Don't worry. Due to the reason that the Wizard Li's cross-sea expansion and the imitation of steamships are mostly derived from the basic scientific knowledge that I taught them back then, my status in the tribe has already risen greatly.
The other explorers will be my partners, so they'll be entertained no matter whether I'm in the tribe or not. "
"In that case …" Upon hearing this, White pondered for three to five seconds and finally made a decision. Nodding, he said, "I'll prepare the warship to send you off right away."
"Thank you, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel. If I have the chance to see General Joss again, I'll definitely thank him again for this matter in person."
"You don't have to look for a chance anymore, Doctor. Under normal circumstances, a warship can only be docked at the port of a military base. You'll be able to see General Joss very soon."
"Oh sh * t! My head is already in a mess of anger right now, so I really don't want to talk about business." The young man glanced at the Atlantean by the side and frowned at White. "Do you know, Lieutenant Colonel? What I need the most right now is rest … Ah, forget it.
Go prepare a ship for me. No matter what, I'll first breathe the air of civilization before anything else. "
"Alright, Doctor …" Since he had already made up his mind, White nodded without hesitation and walked back to the desk in two steps. Grabbing the phone, he began to order the warship to prepare for sailing.
Seeing that the commander of the Earth's garrison camp was about to arrange a ship to send their 'savior' off the island, Morisa, who had always been the most anxious among the Atlanteans, suddenly lost his composure and said, "No, no! Dr. Zhang, you can't leave …"
"My friend from the distant end of the galaxy, give me a reason why I can't leave!" Zhang Lisheng glanced at Morisa with a sarcastic gaze and interrupted his clamor, causing the Atlanteans, who did not have a valid reason, to be speechless.
After that, the young man quietly waited for White to arrange everything. He smiled at the lieutenant colonel and said meaningfully, "Lieutenant Colonel White, it's my character that I'll always remember the kindness of others in my heart. Goodbye!" Then, he turned around and strode out of the office, heading to the harbor of the gathering place.
After walking for 200 to 300 meters in the cold sea breeze, when he had just stepped on the beach, a low voice suddenly resonated from behind the young man. "Dr. Zhang, can I talk to you?"
"They've taken the bait …" Zhang Lisheng came to a halt. His mouth moved a few times silently and turned to look at the six expressionless Atlanteans who were chasing after him. "Of course, Sergeant Aladus, but please make it short. You know that I'm in a hurry to board the ship."
"I'm here to explain to you about the attack on the native tribe …"
"There isn't much to explain about this, Sergeant. I have my own views on the natives living on this island, and you all have your own understandings.
I'm a very stubborn person. If I don't have a good reason, I won't change my mind. I think you guys are the same, so there's nothing to talk about between us. " When Zhang Lisheng saw that Aladus, who spoke on behalf of the Atlanteans, was still holding onto a fluke mentality, he said coldly.
When Aradus heard how resolute the young man's tone was, he could not help but be furious.
When Zhang Lisheng saw how he was suppressing his anger, he suddenly smiled and said directly in a tone unique to a superior, "Aladus, I know that as a member of an interstellar civilization that is far more advanced than the Earth's civilization in the 'electric age,' many Atlanteans despise the Earthlings.
I actually understand this attitude very well. After all, just a hundred years ago, the white people in the US, which is now known as the most democratic and civilized country on Earth, would still order the black people around like livestock because of their civilization advantage.
However, please don't forget that other than 'civilization,' there's also class difference between people … "
When the young man reached this part of his sentence, he no longer said anything. However, the subtext in his words was already clear. Even though the Earth was at a disadvantage in the competition of civilization level with Atlantis, as the superior of the Earth's civilization, he felt that he had an absolute advantage over these Atlanteans in front of him.
Upon being humiliated like this, two of the six Atlanteans could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts. With a flip of their palms, hot and bright light emerged from their palms.
