Lin Yong's expression was also somewhat grim, and his eyes darkened slightly. "Mr. Li, I know you want to solve the problem of the insect swarm, but there's no need to sacrifice the lives of the star beasts in the two prisons!"
He originally thought that Li Shu was a man with a bottom line, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Liang and Lin Yong's inexplicable words made Li Shu's face darken and look particularly ugly. "When did I ever say I wanted to kill those two prison beasts?"
Huo Wei's expression was also somewhat grim. He looked at the two people opposite him with a dark face and said in a deep voice, "If you don't know the truth of the matter, don't say anything. Li Shu is not that kind of person. If you can't even maintain the most basic trust in us, then there is no need for us to continue to cooperate. From now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and we take ours!"
Li Shu: “…”
It was just a single sentence, but it caused a crisis in their cooperation. Li Shu was a little confused by this situation. He raised his eyes and looked at Huo Wei, wanting to ask him what was going on.
Howie exhaled lightly, then whispered, "Do you remember how I explained to you before, under what circumstances would a star beast with a danger rate exceeding 60% go to the battlefield?"
Li Shu was stunned at first, then he realized that when Howie explained to him about the star beasts in prison going to the battlefield, it represented the current disorder of the army and its inability to deal with the Zerg, so these star beasts were sent to the battlefield to self-destruct in order to buy time for the normal star beasts.
Li Shu: “…”
Because the ones fighting against the Zerg on the planet Lido and the Imperial Army had always been the extremely dangerous star beasts in their Lido Prison, he had long been accustomed to this situation, so he really forgot the underlying meaning of this in the Empire.
Li Shu sighed helplessly, then began to explain, "I never thought of sending the star beasts from Cain Prison and Bolie Prison to the battlefield to self-destruct. I just asked them to go to the battlefield to help, that's all."
Chen Liang and Lin Yong looked at each other in bewilderment. "Sending highly dangerous star beasts to help on this battlefield, isn't that just to make them self-destruct?"
Li Shu couldn't help but twitch again, "Why do you think so? They are more useful alive than dead, right?"
Chen Liang was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something, and then he smiled bitterly, "You're right, being alive is more useful than being dead."
Having said that, Chen Liang stood up from his seat and walked towards Li Shu. He then bowed slightly and whispered, "Mr. Li, I misunderstood you just now. I'm very sorry."
"In the past, when the Empire didn't have enough Star Beast troops, they would deploy Star Beasts from prison onto the battlefield, claiming their risk of death was over 60%. They could only watch their consciousness fade away. Instead of living like this and waiting to die, it's better to use this last chance to serve the Empire and earn the title of martyr."
"I'm disgusted by this situation. Everyone has their own way of living and their own attitude. The Empire is treating these star beasts like tools. When the tools are damaged beyond repair, they are simply treated as disposable consumables and destroyed at will."
Li Shu's face turned serious. These words seemed familiar to him. He thought of the conversation between him and Huo Wei that day.
"I……"
Before he could finish his words, Huo Wei beside him tightly grasped his hand. With a serious expression, he said in a deep voice, "We won't do that! The reason why Li Shu proposed this idea is that he is sure that the danger rate of star beasts in the universe will not increase, and it may even decrease."
Lin Yong's tense expression also broke into a smile. "Yes, I almost forgot. Mr. Li can stimulate the growth of plants, which can reduce the danger rate of star beasts. With this thing, the danger rate of the star beasts in the prison will definitely not increase!"
As a direct beneficiary of the supernatural plants, Chen Liang's face also showed a bright smile. "You're right! Our most important situation now is to figure out how to get the star beasts in the prison to come over and help, and how to deliver the plants to the army without being discovered."
"This plant is too special. We can't bring it out openly. We need to disguise it. Otherwise, the royal family will find it immediately. Then we won't be able to keep our current secret location, let alone go into space with them."
Hearing Chen Liang bring up the serious matter, Li Shu quickly suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart and took the initiative to offer an opinion, "Actually, I have a method for plant camouflage."
Lin Yong and Chen Liang both looked at Li Shu. Li Shu didn't hesitate and directly took out the nutrient solution. "We can mix the plant juice with the nutrient solution. This way it will be convenient and secretive. Of course, the most important thing is that his abilities won't be changed at all."
Lin Yong looked at Li Shu in surprise, "Have you already tested this result?"
"Yeah." Li Shu nodded. "That's how we used to do it when we were on Lido Planet."
"That's good. I can easily make a machine here and let it make nutrients, so that we won't be short of nutrients."
At this point, Lin Yong suddenly frowned and spoke hesitantly, "Now that the nutrient supplement is ready, how do we deliver it to the military? The military has long-term suppliers, and they simply won't cooperate with a small workshop like ours."
"Don't worry about that." Huo Wei said coldly, "Leave this matter to me. I know what to do."
Li Shu and the others didn't say anything more after hearing this. After all, they also knew Huo Wei's past identity. Considering his former status as a marshal, it should be very easy for him to solve such a problem.
Thinking of this, the three of them moved on to the next topic. "Well, the most important thing now is how the star beasts from the two prisons got here. The insect swarm isn't far off now. Even the border guards are saying that the insects are more agitated than usual these days. It should be time."
"Shouldn't Juejun be asked to step in on this?"
Li Shu heard the conversation between Chen Liang and Lin Yong and turned his gaze to Huo Wei standing beside him. He knew very little about the two prisons and did not comment on them. At this time, the only one who could really solve the problem was Huo Wei.
But... if Huo Wei was left to find solutions and resolve any situation, then there was a high chance that Huo Wei would be exposed. He selfishly didn't want Huo Wei to get involved too much, but if Huo Wei didn't go, their current plan would be stuck, which was definitely not what Li Shu wanted to see.
