Chapter 648 A Letter
Qingyu watched with a pang of heartache as Han Shuo collected his own bodily fluids into his bosom, feeling somewhat reluctant to part with them.
After all, all the soldiers under his command also needed the turbid liquid.
But who told him to be so cheeky and say he would focus on developing Han Shuo in the future? As a commander, he naturally had to keep his promise.
...
He stopped dwelling on the issue and began to speak.
"Dr. Lin also told me yesterday that his technology is limited and he cannot help you revive those four cyborgs."
"Your trip to the Western countries was mainly for this matter, wasn't it?"
"Um."
Han Shuo nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"
“Since that’s the case…” Qingyu paused, her expression changing slightly.
"Could you ask that cyborg named White Hair if she's willing to join the war?"
"If this powerful force can join us, our chances of winning the upcoming battle will increase by several times!"
...
Han Shuo seemed to have already guessed that Qing Yu would bring up this matter again.
This time, he did not refuse again.
"Don't worry, bro, I'll ask."
"But to be honest, based on my understanding of gray hair, I feel this is a bit far-fetched..."
"She truly has no affection for us humans."
Seeing that he had finally agreed, Qingyu smiled.
"It's okay, we have to give it a try, otherwise we'll never have a chance."
As he spoke, he turned and walked to a cabinet.
He opened the drawer and took out an envelope...
After staring at the envelope in his hand in silence for a long time, Qingyu seemed to have made a major decision in his heart.
His eyes narrowed, and he decisively handed the envelope to Han Shuo.
"Take this. I've heard you say that the woman with white hair is an extremely assertive woman."
"If you can't convince her by then... then show her this letter."
...
"Um?"
Han Shuo let out a soft "Eh?" Qingyu wrote a letter to Baifa? These two... have never even met.
He glanced at the envelope in his hand, and, quite curious, looked up and asked.
"What does the letter say? May I see it?"
"Of course!" Qingyu laughed without any hesitation.
After obtaining his consent, Han Shuo quickly opened the envelope, unfolded the folded paper, and began to read it carefully.
Lenn, who was standing nearby, was also intrigued and leaned his big head over to watch as well.
However, their expressions were normal at first, but the further you looked, the wider their mouths opened became...
Han Shuo was particularly incredulous when he saw a sentence in the latter half of the text.
The letter read:
White-haired leader, if you are willing to join us in fighting the zombie king, I can give you the position of commander!
...
The next moment, Han Shuo frowned and exclaimed in surprise.
"What!?"
"Brother Qingyu, you're actually willing to relinquish power just to get Baifa and the others here?"
"Do you know how ruthless this woman is? Last time, she almost destroyed the black blood in the heart of the zombie king with a hydrogen bomb."
"If you let her take over control of this ice city, when the war breaks out, she will definitely make us humans the cannon fodder at the forefront!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Lenn's face gradually disappeared, and he added a few more words.
"Yes, Qingyu, isn't it a bit hasty to do this?"
"I stepped down and handed over the leadership here to you because I trusted your character!"
"If you are entrusting the fate of all of us to an outsider, I am afraid I cannot comply!"
"If you step down and she takes over, I'll immediately take my men and leave this place!"
...
Despite the doubts from both Han Shuo and Lun En, Qing Yu still wore a smile.
He waved his hand to interrupt their conversation and spoke.
"You two, don't rush, listen to me first."
He looked at Han Shuo, but instead of explaining, he asked a question in return.
"Tell me, how strong are the cyborgs on the side?"
"Awesome!" Han Shuo answered honestly.
"Alright, let me ask you again, how much do you think our win rate will increase with their addition?"
After saying this, Han Shuo pondered for a while, muttering to himself softly.
"Um……"
"I remember Silver Hair once said that there are more cyborg warriors at White Hair's headquarters."
"Each cyborg warrior possesses combat strength comparable to that of a half-dead, tireless and impervious to pain..."
"Besides these, there should be many powerful laser weapons, plus the amazing effectiveness of bio-grenades against ordinary zombies..."
Recalling these data, Han Shuo quickly calculated a number in his mind.
"If the cyborg faction joins, the chances of winning will increase by at least 20%!"
...
"That's right!"
Qingyu's expression turned serious, and she continued Han Shuo's words.
"The special weapons they possess, if used properly, could even double the combat effectiveness of our soldiers!"
"A 20% increase in the win rate is enough to significantly alter the course of the battle..."
As he said this, he stepped forward and patted Han Shuo on the shoulder.
"This great war is really important to us humans. I would give anything to end this apocalypse."
"Besides..."
He paused for a moment, then a smile returned to his face.
"At that time, there will be no need for the white-haired commander. My soldiers and I will be at the forefront of the battlefield!"
"Uh... okay."
Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile. Qing Yu's last words had left him speechless.
...
After comforting Han Shuo, Qingyu turned her gaze to Lun En and spoke.
"Chief Lunn, rest assured, even if the white-haired man takes my place, I guarantee that your men will not become cannon fodder on the battlefield!"
"Um?"
Lun En and Han Shuo were both stunned, not understanding the meaning of those words.
Qingyu continued to explain with a smile on her face.
"You two take a closer look at this sentence."
After he finished speaking, he stepped forward and pointed to a line in the letter.
The last sentence above reads:
White-haired leader, all my promises here are absolutely true. If you agree to join the war, all my men will obey your command!
...
When Han Shuo and Lun En carefully considered the sentence, they finally realized what it meant.
The two of them smiled simultaneously and gave Qingyu a thumbs up.
That sentence seems perfectly reasonable, but it contains a hidden meaning!
The key point is: "Everyone under my command!"
Although Len had stepped down, he still personally controlled and commanded the mercenaries under his command.
Even if Baifa takes over Qingyu's position, according to the agreement, she has no right to command the mercenaries' actions.
Because, from beginning to end, Lunn and his group were only Qingyu's allies, and never his true subordinates.
Qingyu is actually playing word games with the white-haired guy. That old fox...
