Chapter 422 The Liu Family Starts a Trouble
Long Weihua stood at the front of the team, his face as solemn as the sky before a storm.
He stared at the black hole, praying silently in his heart that Huo Qinghuang and others would succeed.
However, no living creature ever came out of the black hole, and the barrier became increasingly unstable.
"Boss, if we don't act now, once the barrier collapses and the monster inside rushes out, the consequences will be disastrous..."
The crew-head advised hesitantly.
Long Weihua gritted his teeth, feeling torn between his conscience and his desires.
Everyone knows that launching the Dongfeng missile is undoubtedly a gamble.
Once action is taken, Huo Qinghuang and others in the Xuanhuang Ancient Land are very likely to be affected.
But if no action is taken, the big demon inside might break the seal, bringing disaster to the whole world.
"Wait a little longer, they will definitely be able to do it!"
There was a slight tremor in Long Weihua's voice, but his eyes were full of determination.
In his mind, even if Huo Qinghuang was not strong enough, he still had Tushan Yuhua, the nine-tailed fox, not to mention Ao Jiu, the real dragon. Even if he could not stop the collapse of the space, at least he could escape unscathed.
These people are considered to be the top combat forces of Dragon Country today, and they have a good relationship with Bureau 749. He does not want to lose these helpers unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Director Long, if you don't order an attack, what are you waiting for?"
A middle-aged man in grey tights, with a burly figure and eyes like an eagle shouted loudly.
His voice was loud, and as he finished speaking, the already shaky black hole cracked visibly again.
"Shut up!"
Zhang Tianshi's face darkened, and he lightly rebuked: "Director Long naturally has his own considerations on whether to give the order, why do you need to say more?"
"you!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face instantly turned red, and he clenched his hands into fists, with his joints turning white due to the force.
"Master Zhang, please don't be partial to Long Weihua! This black hole could collapse at any time. If the big monster rushes out, what will happen to the people of the world? Are you going to ignore the whole world just to wait for those ignorant guys?"
The big man was very emotional and glared at Zhang Tianshi with his eyes wide open.
Zhang Tianshi's face remained calm. He tapped the Xie-Zhan sword in his hand lightly, staring into the middle-aged man's eyes with a deep gaze, and said slowly:
"Master Liu, don't be impulsive. You only know the danger of the big monster rushing out, but you don't know that it can't be solved by simply launching missiles. If you act rashly, I'm afraid it will cause a bigger disaster.
Besides, the people inside have all gone deep into dangerous places to protect the peace of this world. If we give up on them so easily, who will be willing to stand up for the people of the world in the future?"
"Humph! After all, you are just too soft-hearted!"
The anger on the face of the head of the Liu family did not diminish at all: "Liu has always been a person of truth. Now the situation is like this, the crisis is imminent. If we don't solve it quickly, will we have to wait until the disaster is imminent before we regret it?"
"If that's the case, why doesn't Patriarch Liu go in and lend a hand, instead of just standing here and barking in vain?"
Zhang Tianshi snorted coldly, not showing any leniency to the other party, and directly retorted.
"You! Humph, what Master Zhang said sounds good! But if the big monster inside really rushes out, who will bear the consequences?"
The head of the Liu family was so embarrassed that his face darkened and his eyes looked like they were about to spit fire.
"Brother Liu, please be patient!"
An old man in a black robe and with a kind face nearby quickly tried to smooth things over.
He bowed slightly and expressed his apology to Tianshi Zhang: "Tianshi, please don't be offended. Brother Liu is also concerned about the lives of the people in the world. He is worried that a big monster will appear and the lives of the people will be destroyed. That's why he is a little anxious."
Zhang Tianshi nodded slightly, his expression softened, and said, "Of course I understand everyone's concerns, but the interests involved are complicated, and it would be best if there is a way to have both. If it is really unavoidable, I believe Director Long will not ignore the overall situation, right, Director Long?"
Hearing this, Long Weihua took a deep breath, slowly swept his eyes across everyone's faces, and said firmly: "What the Heavenly Master said is absolutely right.
As the director of Bureau 749, I, Long Weihua, shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the world. If it really comes to a last resort and the moment threatens the whole world, I will not hesitate at all.
But the situation is unclear at the moment, and I really can't easily order the launch of the Dongfeng-61. Why not give them some more time? Even if we are really forced to do so in the end, we can have a clear conscience. "
Long Weihua's words made everyone present fall into deep thought, and many people began to feel that his persistence made sense.
Huo Qinghuang and the others are fighting for the lives of the people in the world. If the people outside give up on them easily, and the news gets out, everyone present will be despised by the world.
After all, truth will come to light sooner or later, especially in this age of extremely advanced Internet, where any little thing can be known to everyone.
The head of the Liu family was still unwilling to give in: "Director Long, although that is true, this black hole may collapse at any time. What if we can't wait for them to succeed? We can't just sit there and wait!"
Long Weihua took a deep breath and said, "I also know that this is very dangerous, so I have asked my men to monitor the situation of the black hole at all times.
If I find anything abnormal that threatens the entire world, I will immediately order the missiles to be launched."
Just as he finished speaking, the black hole shook suddenly, and the surrounding air seemed to be wildly disturbed by an invisible giant hand, making a sharp whistling sound.
The cracks in the barrier spread rapidly like a spider web, and it seemed that it would collapse completely at any time.
Everyone's heart rose to their throat and they took a few steps back with looks of horror on their faces.
"Oh no, the barrier can't hold up anymore!"
Someone shouted in horror.
Long Weihua's hands were tightly clenched on the corner of his clothes, his knuckles turned white, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
His hand unconsciously reached for the communicator at his waist. With just a press of the button, the Dongfeng missile would whiz out.
But at this moment, his fingers seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't press down at all.
"Director Long, we can't wait any longer!"
The head of the Liu family shouted sternly, his eyes filled with anxiety and despair.
At this critical moment, a strong light suddenly flashed in the black hole. The light was like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminating the entire world.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it, and they saw the light becoming brighter and brighter, gradually turning into a green beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.
Then, a strong and familiar breath came to my face.
Everyone was delighted. Could it be that Huo Qinghuang and the others had succeeded?
The light gradually dissipated, and the figures of Huo Qinghuang and the other two, along with Kui Niu, slowly appeared.
They all had scars on their bodies and their clothes were tattered, but everyone had a relaxed smile on their face, and the Kuiniu even let out a long, loud cry.
"Moo!"
“They succeeded!”
A deafening cheer erupted from the crowd, the sound seemed to break through the sky, completely dispelling the previous depressing atmosphere.
