At 4: 30 in the afternoon.
Shanghai, Bosch headquarters, icehouse!
The icehouse was used to temporarily store the corpses of employees who died in battle. It served the same purpose as the morgue in a hospital. After an employee died, the body would be stored here and the administrative department would arrange the funeral.
If the family of an employee wanted to retrieve the body and bury it themselves, Bosch would give them a generous compensation to buy a cemetery and arrange the funeral.
For employees like San Wu who had no parents and no family, the funeral would be handled by Bosch. They would be buried 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 from the square mouth.
Dharmaraja stood beside her, his face filled with sorrow 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 moment, Li Xianyu's whole body began to tremble for some reason. Even his lips had lost their color.
The white cloth was as light as a feather. His hands trembled, trembled, and trembled, but he could not uncover it.
"Why don't you stop looking?" Dharmaraja pressed Li Xianyu's hand.
His entire body trembled, as if he had been startled. He stared blankly at the Lightning Dharmaraja and said, "Huh?"
Dharmaraja turned his head away and looked up at the sky. Only then did he stop his tears from falling.
When the white cloth was lifted, 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 to ignore her existence.
The girl's facial features were still delicate, but this time, they had lost all signs of life and were pale.
"How did she die?" Li Xianyu's voice was hoarse.
After reading Ice Slag's letter, he gave up the idea of going back in time and rushed back to Shanghai as fast as he could to this place.
Time passed very quickly on the way back. Because he could not hear or see anything, he just stared blankly and went back to Shanghai.
"He was seriously injured in the battle with the Sea King. He then fell into the sea and died in the aftermath of the battle between the Phoenix and Dorgon." Dharmaraja's voice was nasal.
"She lost her wallet at the time, and the pilot gave her his own blood medicine. Unfortunately, her injuries were too severe, and she couldn't be saved."
"She left before reinforcements arrived," Gu Xijiu said.
Li Xianyu nodded and stroked the girl's cheek with his fingers. He was careful and gentle, as if she was just sleeping and he didn't dare to wake her up.
"Actually, she died once when she was in the island country. I went back in time to save her, but I never told you about it. "
Dharmaraja nodded slightly. Li Xianyu only said that he was defeated twice in Japan and backtracked twice. Dharmaraja did not ask Li Xianyu to write a mission report.
He guessed that it might not end well.
"Even now, when I recall that scene, my heart still palpitates. It hurts too much, my heart hurts too much."
"In the end, I still couldn't save her," Li Xianyu said softly.
Dharmaraja felt suffocated. Perhaps it was because Li Xianyu's appearance at this moment was very similar to him not long ago.
He was clearly in pain, and his sorrow flowed like a river, but he still pretended to be calm and did not reveal his emotions.
In such a suffocating environment, Dharmaraja also said softly, "The pilot who brought her back said that she was smiling before she left."
After a pause, he added, "She had some last words, but she left before she finished."
"What last words?"
"Help me ask him, I have something …"
Dharmaraja did not say anything else. That was the end of his last words.
Then, he realized that it was because of this sentence of his.
The man beside him, the man who had experienced life and death countless times and had experienced hundreds of battles …
Collapsed …
Five in the afternoon.
The sun sank into the horizon, and the magnificent golden-red clouds stubbornly refused to leave.
Meeting Room 1!
Qin Ze sat in the CEO's seat with Dharmaraja standing behind him. On his left was Li Xianyu and Great-grandmother. On his right was Li Peiyun and Dan Chenzi. Now there was one more, Jiese!
The holographic projections of the nine directors had also appeared. The atmosphere in the meeting room was unusually heavy and silent.
Director 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 an old fox like him, who had experienced ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, could not think of a solution.
The relatively young Director Xu looked around. Seeing that no one spoke, he said, "Three options. First, fire Li Xianyu immediately and announce the result to the public. Then, run as far as you can and try not to let Dorgon and the Superpower Association find you. Wait for the fruit to ripen.
"Second option, find a way to produce the fruit, surrender and ask for peace.
"The third option is to fight them to the death."
The three options were the judgment made by the forces behind Director Xu after much consideration.
Director Xu represented the forces behind him and brought it up at this time.
Director Zhang snorted. "After firing Li Xianyu, how can we guarantee that Dorgon won't kill Qin Ze for revenge?"
Director Xu frowned. "Dorgon's target is the fruit, not us, not Bosch."
The oval-faced woman snorted. "My grandfather said that if we surrender, war criminals will be executed. Will Dorgon let this go? He's willing, and neither is Beck Richardson. The first option can be eliminated directly. Bosch has no way out. Firing Li Xianyu won't get them out of this. "
Another bald director knocked on the table and glanced at the oval-faced woman. "If they lose, they have to pay the price. This is inevitable. But we can reduce Bosch's losses and stabilize this turmoil in the Bloodline World. "
"We have to look at the problem from the perspective of the big picture. Some sacrifices are unavoidable. Bosch can no longer fight against the Superpower Association. No, they have never fought against it. "
In other words, they were planning to sacrifice Qin Ze.
"You're going to kneel again?" The oval-faced woman sneered and said sharply, "Aren't the knees the heaviest at your age?"
"My man is not afraid of death, I'm not afraid of death either. Our whole family is not afraid of sacrifice. But I will definitely not sacrifice myself in such a dishonorable and meaningless way. "
The bald director was furious and slammed the table hard.
"Cough, cough, cough." Director Zhang coughed hard and glanced at the oval-faced woman. Although he was not bald, he was also at the age where his knees were the heaviest.
"The first and third options are the same," Director Zhang said in a deep voice. "As for the result of Bosch, you can refer to Japan."
"It's nothing more than the Superpower Association setting up departments in various parts of Bosch and sitting on our heads every day. Turning our Bloodline World into a subsidiary of the Superpower Association. "
"From the perspective of the big picture, this is indeed in line with what some people call the big picture, but is it really like this?"
"The top experts in Bosch will be labeled as war criminals and executed, sacrificing themselves for nothing. And according to the style of the Superpower Association, they will definitely suppress us in Bosch and act like a tyrant while inciting the various forces in the Bloodline World. The Bloodline World that we have finally stabilized will fall into chaos again, and it will even affect the ordinary society. "
Director Zhang said righteously, "This is the so-called big picture? It's just for a temporary survival in exchange for the future generations' cowardice. "
"Even in the old society, our Bloodline World has never been manipulated like a little girl. If we let the Bloodline World become like Japan in our hands, who would have the guts to bear the eternal crime?"
"I don't."
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xianyu, who was silent as if he was just here to observe the meeting. "Also, do you know how to take out the fruit?"
"Then, you mean to fight? Fight them to the death? "Another director frowned.
"Dorgon has returned to the peak of Extreme Grade, and Baker Richardson has devoured the remains and is yet another peak Extreme Grade. They still have the Kusanagi sword. How can we fight them? Rely on the few of you? "The bald director slammed the table." We have no chance of winning. Even if we fight, we will die. "
The oval-faced woman retorted, "Dying in battle is better than dying."
The bald director was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Directors, if you are done, please listen to me," Qin Ze said calmly, attracting the gazes of the nine directors.
"First of all, I need to reflect and admit my mistakes. This battle has been messed up again. This is my mistake. As the CEO, I didn't play a leading role. "
Great-grandmother scoffed. "You are the weakest Extreme Grade. Why are you leading?"
Qin Ze knew that Peerless War Soul was trying to absolve him, but there was no need for that.
He continued, "The enemy is difficult to deal with, and everyone can see that. So, I shamelessly found an excuse for myself. "
"Then, regarding Director Xu's three methods, there is actually only one path we can take, and that is to fight to the death, fight until our heads bleed, fight until our talents wither, fight until everything is destroyed."
"Why?"
"Because the fruit won't fall into the hands of Dorgon or Beck Richardson. To be more precise, the fruit can't fall into the hands of any ambitious people."
"Why did we ally with the phoenix in the past? The ruler is too terrifying. Letting them live is irresponsible to the country, to the people, and even to the entire human race."
"Because of this reason, we are destined to fight to the death with the enemy. We can't hand over the fruit. Unless you want to keep your hair in braids again and shout at some guy wearing a dragon robe, 'Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!
"Times have changed. There can be emperors in the past. Now, there definitely can't be. "
"The two of them will ruin the entire human civilization."
The directors were silent.
"Then, if we fight, do we have a chance of winning?" Qin Ze stood up and placed his palm on the table. His eyes were sharp. "Yes."
At this moment, he was filled with the majesty and sharpness of a "big boss".
"We have a chance of winning?" The eyes of the directors lit up.
"Do you remember how the Blood Descendants settled the chaos of Quanzhen more than eighty years ago?" Qin Ze spoke very quickly. "That's right, it's the human wave tactic."
"In this world, the peak of individual power will never be able to fight against the great power of a group. As long as we have enough people, we can destroy Dorgon and Beck Richardson. "
Chairman Xu interrupted him. "What human wave tactic? I used to have countless experts in the Blood Descendants, and one genius after another was born. But with just them, it's clearly not enough. Also, since last year, the Blood Descendants have been in continuous turmoil, and too many experts have died. Even if you want to recruit people, you will only get a bunch of rotten melons and dates. "
"Relying on them to kill two peak Extreme Grade masters?"
"Of course, it's not just us," Qin Ze said. "I've already held a meeting with the chairman of the Belo Berg Palace and invited them to join forces to deal with the Supers Association. Right now, they're also in a meeting, and the results will be out soon. "
The Belo Berg Palace was the headquarters of the official organization in Polar Bear.
"In addition, there's the Blood Descendants of Japan and the Vatican. The Belo Berg Palace has a peak half-step Extreme Grade master and a beginner half-step Extreme Grade master, and the Vatican has three peak half-step Extreme Grade masters. Together with our group, it's enough to fight Dorgon, Beck Richardson, and the Supers Association to the death. "
Hiss. The directors gasped.
This way, the high-end combat power of the Blood Descendants was almost all gathered. The senior half-step Extreme Grade masters were already comparable to a humanoid nuclear bomb in terms of destructive power. Because they could temporarily burst out with power at the Extreme Grade level.
And in such a war, how many humanoid nuclear bombs would there be?
Chairman Zhang immediately shook his head. "No, this won't do. There's no place for you to fight. How many people will you kill? The higher-ups won't agree. If it really gets to that point, things will get out of hand. "
This was no longer a matter of whether the higher-ups agreed or not. Li Xianyu said indifferently, "For this war, we'll set the battlefield in New York."
The directors' faces stiffened.
"You want to set the battlefield in New York? Fighting in their headquarters? That's too rash. Isn't that 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' Margaittirahan and 'Sea King' Angie Charles have died in battle one after another. Other than Beck Richardson, the Supers Association lacks high-end combat power in a short period of time. This is the weakest time.
"Only when the battlefield moves to the United States can we be free. In the past few days, the Supers Association has attacked the various branches. How many ordinary people have been affected? The casualty figures are on your table. The storm of public opinion has already caused you to be scolded badly by the higher-ups, right?
"Since you decided to go to war with Bosch, you should be prepared to bear the consequences.
"I want the Supers Association to pay the price."
The directors pondered.
If this battle was unavoidable, then it was better to throw the battlefield abroad than to throw it at home.
"Are you guys going to announce the existence of the Bloodline Realm to the whole world?" Director Zhang rubbed his forehead.
From the perspective of a manager, he naturally disagreed. However, the current situation was already out of their control, even out of the control of a country's political power.
If you want to suppress it, sure, but be prepared to choose the third option and be prepared to be cursed for eternity.
And this still could not solve the problem. The war was not over yet. Li Xianyu and Unparalleled War Soul would not sit still and wait for death.
The European Vatican and the official organizations of the island countries had limited friendships with Bosch. The ones who established friendships with the Vatican and the official organizations were Li Xianyu and Li Peiyun.
They were bound to help.
At that time, a few human-shaped nuclear bombs would collide, and the result would be the same.
Dorgon and Beck Richardson crossed the ocean to snatch the fruit. They would not consider for you to not affect ordinary people, and everyone would go to a deserted place to fight.
It was impossible.
They could not control the Li family, and they could not control the enemy.
Chairman Xu stared at Qin Ze and reminded, "You told the secret of the fruit to Polar Bear. How can you ensure that they won't become the second Beck Richardson?"
"No, I did not reveal the existence of the fruit. I only invited them to attack the Superpower Association together, "Qin Ze said." In this war, we still have to rely on the time difference. If I'm not wrong, Beck Richardson will need some time to fuse with the shell and master it. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, the normal way is to lie low for a period of time. "
Thinking of the history of the Superpower Association and the official organizations of the Polar Bear, Chairman Xu nodded and accepted it.
Chairman Zhang sighed and asked, "Before Phoenix died, she left a letter. Why didn't you make it public?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Xianyu.
After reading the letter, Li Xianyu burned it.
After that, no matter who asked or who mentioned it, he remained silent.
He did not intend to tell anyone.
It was clearly the last thing left by Phoenix, and it was very likely to be of great importance, but he did not say anything.
Li Xianyu met everyone's gaze and said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you or the war. It's just my personal matter."
The same reply.
Chairman Zhang nodded. "I believe you are someone who knows what is important."
He did not ask any more questions.
