Using the Germinal Tribe to convince their own kind was very effective.
There were five nests in this area. One of them was scared away by Han Xiao, and the Germinal Tribe surrendered. Over the next few days, Herlous destroyed the remaining three nests, and the Germinal Tribe persuaded the remaining mutants of the three tribes to relay Han Xiao's message.
With this two-pronged approach, the efficiency was much higher than just killing, and the entire area was cleared out efficiently.
This made the Sunil soldiers very surprised. They did not expect the legendary Black Star to be able to do such a thing. The result of the operation made them completely convinced of Han Xiaoxin. There was no need to waste time chasing after the escaping mutants. The deserters of the three tribes were all persuaded by the Germinal Tribe and surrendered with their own Prophecy Stone Base Stations. This saved them a lot of energy and prevented more casualties.
Hundreds of thousands of players started a heated discussion about this. After discovering that the Subterranean Mutants had a certain level of intelligence, a portion of the players started to express different opinions about this' massacre '. There were all kinds of opinions. Many players agreed with Han Xiao's method of persuading the Subterranean Mutants to surrender, but such players were in the minority. Most of them were players who liked the storyline very much.
At first, only a small number of players were discussing this topic. Most of the players were just there to do the mission and did not think so much. However, as more and more discussion threads appeared, more and more players could not help but express their opinions. They started to be dragged into the topic, and it gradually became more and more popular.
Most of the players were used to feeling sympathy for the weaker party. After witnessing such a cruel massacre, many of the players couldn't bear to see it. Although the Subterranean Mutants looked a little disgusting, after looking at them for a long time, they were actually quite good-looking … They did not even have eyes or eyebrows. It would be a miracle if they were good-looking!
In any case, sympathy was one thing, but when it came to killing monsters, the players would not go soft.
On the other hand, the name 'Germinal Tribe' made all the players laugh like pigs. They understood this point.
These players had all experienced the events of Version 1.0, and the Germinal Organization had left a deep impression on them. They could not help but joke about it on the forums.
"Germinal: Coach, I want to eat boxed meals!"
"Germinal: Now that things have come to this, I can't hide it anymore … It's time to open the coffin and rise! I'd rather have the guts! "
"Shocking! In fact, the Germinal Organization is the real boss. It is a mysterious organization at the universal level. The one in the Blue Star Organization is just one of its clones. This huge organization has been hiding for billions of years, and what we have come into contact with is just the tip of the iceberg … "
[Germinal: Hmm? (Detected), has my alternate account been exposed again? "
"I understand now. This is the inheritance of faith. We must spread the seeds of revolution throughout the universe and sprout immortality! My spirit lives on forever! "
"The Germinal Organization of the Kingdom of Heaven silently watched you and gave you a thumbs up."
"Keep bragging. Germinal is very satisfied."
The presence of the Germinal Tribe made the heavy atmosphere much more cheerful.
In this area, only the last tribe that had escaped had not been dealt with. Herlous led the troops and followed the route of the escaping tribe, while the surrendered Subterranean Mutants of the Germinal Tribe used their digging skills to open a path. Under the guidance of the radar, they found the new underground nest of this tribe.
This time, there was no battle. The leader of the Germinal Tribe contacted the leader of the escaping tribe through the Prophecy Stone and conveyed Han Xiao's message.
This escaping tribe actually did not resist. When the Germinal Organization outlined Han Xiao's figure, this tribe instantly recognized him.
Han Xiao was the source of their escape and left them with a psychological trauma. This tribe was very timid. As soon as the Germinal Organization mentioned Han Xiao, they did not hesitate much. The members of the tribe quickly reached a consensus on the mental network and directly clicked on surrender.
This was the first time a problem had been solved without a battle. Herlous felt that Han Xiao's decision was really wise.
The five nests in this area were cleared. Herlous led the troops out of the underground, and there were more areas that needed to be cleared. As for how to deal with these surrendered Subterranean Mutants, that became a problem.
Herlous asked for instructions from Han Xiao. Han Xiao's meaning was very simple. Because there were too many Subterranean Mutants and they were unwilling to come to the surface, the cost of guarding them was too high. Therefore, most of the Subterranean Mutants would stay in their original areas and wait. The five tribes would live together and set up some surveillance equipment to monitor the movements of the surrendered Subterranean Mutants. Then, the subjugation force brought some of the Subterranean Mutants, including the leader of the Germinal Tribe, to other areas to continue the persuasion work.
Herlous had a taste of the benefits of pulling batches and did not have any objections.
…
In the following days, the subjugation force kept using this strategy.
All the underground mines on Planet Sunil were finally detected by Reynold. There were a total of 127 Subterranean Mutant nests, which were roughly divided into forty-one main gathering areas. The subjugation force cleared almost half of the mutant gathering areas on Planet Sunil. After counting, the number of Subterranean Mutants that had been persuaded to surrender reached 1.7 billion. The number of slaughtered Subterranean Mutants was not calculated, but it could only be more.
The method of persuading them to surrender was not always successful. The mutant tribes were relatively independent, and the development of each area was different. There were always some barbaric tribes that were even more uncivilized and did not understand at all. The Germinal Tribe was persuading them here, but there was no way for them to communicate normally. The only way to deal with them was to kill them all.
All the players' [Clear the Subterranean Mutants] Main Storyline Mission had a lot of rewards. Han Xiao saw this and felt sweet in his heart.
Seeing that the players were doing well, he did not stay idle either. During this time, he kept on harvesting the players' experience and wallets. His experience storage was slowly approaching the ten billion mark.
The experience required to level up in the future would be astronomical. He had to work hard to harvest leeks.
The subjugation operation was on the right track, and Base No. 3 was finally completed. A brand new, magnificent Black Star Base had taken root on Planet Sunil.
The players all gave good reviews and felt proud.
Han Xiao did not encounter any problems, and he did not need Han Xiao to do anything personally. He had plenty of time to complete the equipment of Base No. 3. This time, he was no longer alone. As his assistant, Reynold helped a lot. The two of them worked together and quickly built the military factory of Base No. 3.
Reynold's personality was too serious, and it made people feel uncomfortable. However, when it came to work, this kind of personality was perfect. Han Xiao was very satisfied with Reynold's ability to work. [Perfect Mechanical Sense] played a huge role.
Han Xiao had been drooling over this talent for a long time. This time, he had enough time to interact with Reynold. He tried all sorts of methods to trigger Reynold's mission, but to no avail. Han Xiao was helpless. Facing the stubborn Reynold, he did not know how to get Reynold's [Perfect Mechanical Sense] Molding Talent.
Han Xiao did know some non-molding talents of the Mechanic series, such as [Basic Mechanical Sense], [Precise Mechanical Sense], and so on. Naturally, their effects were far inferior to [Perfect Mechanical Sense], but he wanted to get one to make up the numbers.
He was a Mechanic, after all, and it would not make sense if he did not have a Mechanic talent. Looking at the series of tank talents on his interface, those who did not know him would think that he was a main tank.
It was a pity that the location to obtain the Mechanical Sense talent was a little far away and not in this Star Cluster. Han Xiao did not have the time to go there.
Yi Yeqing finally had some results on her side. She had researched a biochemical weapon specifically targeting the body structure and genes of the Subterranean Mutants. It had a large-scale infectious effect. After getting sick, the Subterranean Mutants would slowly become weak. Their mouths and shells would gradually peel off, and their stomach and esophagus would become infected. In the end, they would not be able to eat, and they would either die of illness or starvation. The cycle would last for about ten days.
Based on the current situation, there was no need to use the biochemical weapon. Their goal had already changed from extermination to migration.
However, since there were already results from the research, Han Xiao still gave Herlous a certain amount of biochemical weapons for him to use. At least this way, he would have a method to kill the Subterranean Mutants on a large scale, which would increase the efficiency of the crusade.
On the second day after the biochemical weapon was developed, the Sunil upper echelon Otis suddenly paid a visit.
In the guest room of Base No. 3, the two of them sat opposite each other.
"This is truly a majestic base."
Otis was the first to speak. His tone was fawning, but his eyes were filled with envy.
In just a short period of time, Black Star had built a breathtaking base. The connections and wealth he had indirectly displayed were far beyond the reach of the current Sunil. Otis could not help but be envious.
"It's passable." Han Xiao crossed his legs, tapped his thigh with his finger, and slowly said, "Everything is normal in the crusade operation. Is there anything else you need from me today?"
Otis sat up straight and said with a deep voice, "Your Excellency Black Star, we would like to make a suggestion."
"You are the employer. You have the authority."
"Your plan is very effective. Many Subterranean Mutants have been gathered. I think this is a good opportunity to use the biochemical weapon to kill all the Subterranean Mutants at once."
Han Xiao paused and looked at Otis. This guy wants to use the current results of the Black Star Corps to achieve his own goal?
Otis subconsciously looked away and avoided eye contact. He then felt that there was no need for him to be afraid. Black Star was a mercenary that they had hired, and as the employer, they naturally had the right to make requests. Thus, he gathered his courage and looked at Han Xiao.
"Those Subterranean Mutants have already surrendered, and I will move them to other planets. You want me to give up on this plan and insist on exterminating them?" Han Xiao raised his brows.
"Yes." Otis nodded.
"Interesting. Moving the Subterranean Mutants is my own expense. You don't need to bear the cost. So, tell me the reason."
Otis was silent for a while and avoided the question. "I think this is a very reasonable request. We are the employer, and we hope that you can carry out the mission according to our wishes. At the very least, you can save on the cost of moving them."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Indeed, mercenaries work according to the employer's request, but we have the right to make our own decisions. Your real goal is to control Planet Sunil. In my eyes, exterminating an entire race is not the best plan. Although I am a mercenary, it does not mean that I have to carry out all the orders of my employer. I have the right to reject any request that I think is not legitimate. If you do not have a reason to do this, let's forget about this matter."
Seeing how resolute Han Xiao was, Otis clenched his teeth and told Han Xiao the real reason for his visit.
"If we don't eliminate all future problems, what if the Subterranean Mutants develop on other planets and attack us when they want to take back Planet Sunil? If you don't kill them all, can you guarantee that such a thing will not happen in the future? "
Heh, you really want to eliminate the source of the problem … Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he said, "Indeed, I cannot guarantee that the Subterranean Mutants will not be a future problem."
Otis heaved a sigh of relief. "So, please …"
This time, Han Xiao suddenly interrupted him and chuckled. "But even if they are a future problem, it is different from the current mission. Will they attack Sunil in the future? Heh, what does it have to do with me? "
Otis was stunned and was about to explode in anger. However, he remembered that Han Xiao was someone he could not afford to offend, so he could only suppress his anger and say with a more serious tone, "Since you are a mercenary, you should at least follow the professional ethics. How can you say such things? We hired you in the hope that you can solve our problem."
"That's right. Isn't the Black Star Corps helping you solve your problem now? What else do you think we are doing?"
Han Xiao smiled mockingly. "Mercenaries are not nannies. You spend money, and we contribute. This is a transaction, but it does not mean that we will be responsible for your future forever. Even if the Subterranean Mutants attack, that is another matter."
"Let's not talk about how many years it takes for the Subterranean Mutants to develop the ability to counterattack. Now that Sunil has no obstacles, won't they develop? If a battle really breaks out in the future … you can hire me then."
Han Xiao crossed his arms and had an expression that said, "What can you do if I am being unreasonable?"
Otis' eyes widened, and he was speechless.
There is actually such a shameless person in the world?
"Of course, if you want me to eliminate all the Subterranean Mutants, it is not impossible." Han Xiao suddenly changed the topic.
Otis' hope was reignited.
"But …" Han Xiao revealed a cunning smile and rubbed his fingers. "You have to pay more."
Otis' veins bulged, and he clenched his fists tightly.
If not for the fact that he could not afford to offend Black Star, he would have flipped the table.
