Xia Chujian smiled broadly and said, "I really like what you said, Chief Quan!"
"I'll take it seriously!"
Quan Yuxun's heart suddenly beat faster.
He found it increasingly difficult to hide his true emotions before they met in the beginning of summer.
He almost used the greatest self-control in his life to keep that official smile on his face.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think that it was really not easy to get Xia Chujian to say "I like it so much"...
Because it is rare, we cherish it even more.
He felt that he seemed to have the bad habits of men, that is, the easier it is to get something, the less he cares about it.
But the harder it is to get, the harder it is to let go.
This is the famous...sunk cost...
Quan Yuxun sighed in his heart, but still smiled and said, "Just take it seriously. When have I ever said anything that didn't count to you?"
Xia Chujian gave him a thumbs-up on the virtual display screen: "Chief Quan is worthy of being the one in the Senate!"
Then he changed the subject and said, "However, Chief Quan, there are some things you can't say too confidently. You're just raising the flag... Otherwise, you'll be slapped in the face later, hahahaha..."
Quan Yuxun smiled slightly, changed the subject, and said, "I heard that the military only asked you to hold on for 24 hours, but you seem to have other plans?"
Xia Chujian stopped smiling and said calmly, "Well, you know, the seven billion people on Shaofu Star can't all be left to the Zerg."
"To be honest, if possible, I don't want to leave a single person to the Zerg."
"Because everyone who stays will become food and gestational mothers for the Zerg to survive and reproduce."
The habitual smile on Quan Yuxun's face gradually disappeared.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "...Is it really that serious? Is it that we have to choose between us and the Zerg, and that we can't coexist?"
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow: "What? Chief Quan, are you still thinking about coexistence?"
Kwon Yu-hoon said, "That's not what I thought."
Xia Chujian said, "Whose idea was this?"
Quan Yuxun didn't hide it from her and said frankly, "During the Senate meeting, someone mentioned that if we really can't defeat the Zerg, can we negotiate with them..."
“They feel that everything can be discussed.”
"The so-called inability to negotiate is simply because the bargaining chips offered are insufficient."
"This applies to all intelligent creatures."
"The Zerg aren't mindless insects; they are intelligent creatures. Therefore, negotiations should be effective."
Xia Chujian sneered, expressing his disdain.
She said, "So what does Chief Quan think?"
Quan Yuxun said, "I'm not lying to you. I don't have any idea right now. Because I don't know which side's statement is true."
Those who disagree with negotiating with the Zerg believe that there is no way to talk at all because the Zerg cannot understand human logic.
Those who are willing to negotiate with the Zerg believe that as long as they are intelligent creatures, they can empathize with each other!
I don't know which one is right between power and training.
Therefore, Quan Yuxun neither stood on the side of the fight to the death faction nor on the side of the surrender and coexistence faction.
He came to see Xia Chujian because he wanted to get an answer from her that he could believe.
Xia Chujian said, "If Chief Quan believes me, I can guarantee with my life that although some creatures are intelligent, they simply do not possess the same logical reasoning abilities as humans. Therefore, it is impossible to empathize with them."
"For them, negotiation is never an option."
"In their minds, there's only the concept of winner takes all."
"They believe that losers should be exterminated and don't deserve to live."
"You want to negotiate with them even after you've lost the battle? Do you think the Zerg are as spineless as those creatures in your Senate?"
Quan Yuxun said, "...Are you not expressing any emotion when you say this?"
"War is inherently bloody."
"But a bloody war doesn't mean there can't be negotiations after the war. What they say doesn't make any sense at all."
Xia Chujian refuted flatly: "What they said makes no sense at all!"
"I told you, we can't use human thinking patterns to fit the Zerg's thinking."
"In fact, even among humans, the differences between humans can be greater than the differences between humans and dogs."
"Do you know that there was once a country that suffered a crushing defeat, but chose to deceive itself and others by claiming it had won a great victory? It even had to give its own country a ten-day holiday to celebrate its victory!"
Quan Yuxun was stunned: "...Which country is this? How come I don't know it?"
Xia Chujian thought, this is a story my aunt once told me, can I tell you?
She waved her hand: "That's not the point. The point is, we can't use our wishful thinking to gamble on the magnanimity of our enemies."
"Negotiations are absolutely not allowed with the Zerg."
"If one day they really agree to negotiate, it's not because they don't want to continue killing, but because they want to raise all of us humans without bloodshed, to use us as food and as surrogate mothers."
Quan Yuxun stared at her and said, "Why are you so sure?"
Xia Chujian said to Quan Yuxun frankly: "Because I may be the one who understands the Zerg best."
"Unbeknownst to you, I've been to Southern Cross several times."
"I know much more about that place than you do."
Quan Yuxun was surprised: "How did you get there?! As far as I know, all the wormholes from the Beichen Empire to other countries were destroyed on the first day the Zerg descended on the Beichen Galaxy."
