Chapter 234 Negotiating Conditions

Chen Qingqing was a little bit incredulous: "The sea creatures...are so willing to give up?"

How is it possible?

What about the efforts they made before? Are they just giving up so easily?

Xiaoling saw Chen Qingqing's suspicious look. Xiaoling

shrugged: "I was not sure at first, but the management repeatedly said that they had talked to the sea creatures for a long time, and the sea creatures were willing to reach a truce agreement with us."

"Deal?"

"Yes, how to coexist peacefully is also something that needs to be discussed."

"Do we still need to discuss this?" Ming Peilan on the side couldn't listen anymore and sneered.

"How dare they discuss peaceful coexistence? If they hadn't provoked the incident, it wouldn't have come to this. They stayed in their underwater world, and we lived normally on land, without interfering with each other."

"But the viruses, frostbite, insect disasters we experienced... which one was not caused by them?"

"They have almost killed all the humans, and they are starting to discuss peace?"

Ming Peilan scolded, but she also knew that the current situation did not allow them to decide whether to talk about it.

Humans can no longer bear greater casualties, and their willingness to cease fire is the only solution now.

It's just...

"Qingqing, is there no better way?"

Ming Peilan looked at Chen Qingqing.

She knew Chen Qingqing's space and the power behind it.

Chen Qingqing shook her head.

Apart from human’s own power, they can only rely on the power of the Guardian Group and the live broadcast room.

Now the Guardian Group asked Chen Qingqing to sacrifice humans without superpowers before they are willing to protect humans, but Chen Qingqing would never do that.

Then the live broadcast room is the only one left.

“But what if the sea creatures make some excessive demands…”

Chen Qingqing: “We can only act according to circumstances.”

Chen Qingqing, who had just read “Sacrifice Theory”, felt that no matter what kind of demands the sea creatures made, she would not be surprised.

Even if they also asked Chen Qingqing to sacrifice some humans, Chen Qingqing would not be surprised.

Chen Qingqing didn’t know what means the live broadcast room used, anyway, humans now had the opportunity to negotiate with the sea creatures.

Chen Qingqing must seize this opportunity.

As for the details of the cooperation, it depends on the ability of the negotiator.

"Then how do we negotiate with them?" Chen Qingqing looked at Xiaoling again.

Xiaoling: "Talk face to face."

"Face to face? Do we have to go to the beach?... But we can't understand what they say."

Xiaoling smiled slightly: "Don't we still have Chu Yiyi?"

"I heard from the management that Chu Yiyi just got a foreign language book a few days ago, which specifically teaches underwater language. Now that Chu Yiyi is the only one who knows it, she can only go."

"Only she can understand what the underwater creatures say."

"So, the turning point of things depends entirely on Chu Yiyi?"

Chen Qingqing frowned: "Chu Yiyi can't be willing."

"She was infected by humanoid worms before and almost died. She also felt the gaze of underwater creatures. Now she doesn't even dare to go to the beach. How can she be willing to negotiate?"

Ming Peilan also said: "This is secondary. We put all our hopes on Chu Yiyi. Is that okay?"

"If Chu Yiyi can get along with them, we humans will have hope. If she can't, we can only wait to die."

Xiaoling sighed: "There is no way, this is the only solution now."

She paused and said: "You don't have to worry about Chu Yiyi's wishes. The management told me that only if Chu Yiyi agrees to negotiate with the sea creatures in person, the management will restore the connection of Chu Yiyi's live broadcast room."

Chen Qingqing: "... This is a bit of coercion and inducement, right?"

If she doesn't want to go, Chu Yiyi's live broadcast room will not come back.

Chu Yiyi will definitely collapse after hearing this.

"In addition, will it cause dissatisfaction among the sea creatures if we only send one person?"

Xiaoling didn't say anything. She looked forward, as if negotiating with the bullet screen.

After a moment, she shook her head: "The management said no."

As for why it wouldn't happen, the management didn't explain.

Chen Qingqing was thinking about it.

Xiaoling saw that Chen Qingqing was silent for a long time, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister Chen, I know you have a lot of concerns, but this is the only way now. You are the best at persuading people, and you have to talk to Chu Yiyi about this matter."

Ming Peilan was not very happy: "Qingqing should be the bad guy?"

"That's not what I mean." Xiaoling explained slowly.

"Chu Yiyi doesn't like me. She rolls her eyes at me every time she sees me."

"Yesterday I stopped her and asked her if she wanted to know about the live broadcast room. She said that if there was any news, she would let Sister Chen tell her. She didn't want to say a word to me."

Xiaoling's eyes flashed with sincerity: "So Sister Chen, it's really not that I don't want to go. If you want me to go find Chu Yiyi together, I'm willing to do so."

Chen Qingqing sighed slowly.

"I'll go find her, just forget it."

"Sister Chen." Before Chen Qingqing walked out, Xiaoling stopped her again.

"You don't have to feel it's hard to speak, she will be willing. After all, she is the only one who knows the underwater language now, and as long as she agrees, the live broadcast room will be reconnected, and the protective shield will be restored at that time, and she won't have to be afraid of anything."

Chen Qingqing nodded.

It was getting late, and Chen Qingqing saw that the sea didn't show any signs of rain, so she went out without worry.

She knocked on the door of the courtyard next door, and soon Xun Na opened the door.

Seeing Chen Qingqing looking inside, Xun Na explained: "I'm the only one at home, Chu Yiyi went out."

"Out? Where did she go?"

"I don't know either. She took a basin and something in a plastic bag. I didn't see it clearly."

Xun Na pointed to a direction with few people: "She went that way."

"But she shouldn't dare to go to the beach. She's probably next to the woods."

Chen Qingqing thanked Xun Na and walked in the direction she pointed. Soon she saw Chu Yiyi's back.

Chu Yiyi squatted there, her shadow illuminated by the fire, and the shadow was cast on the ground, shaking.

What is Chu Yiyi burning?

Chen Qingqing walked closer, and the sound of footsteps reached Chu Yiyi's ears. Chu Yiyi turned around suddenly.

Seeing that it was Chen Qingqing, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you walking silently!" Chu Yiyi scolded.

Chen Qingqing: "Didn't you hear it?"

Chen Qingqing's eyes fell on the ground in front of Chu Yiyi.

In front of Chu Yiyi was an enamel basin, in which paper money was being burned.

"...What kind of paper are you burning?"

Chu Yiyi curled her lips and said, "For Ning Ran."

Chen Qingqing was stunned.

When Ning Ran died, Chu Yiyi did not show any sadness, and she was not too anxious when looking for Ning Ran's body. Why now...

"Chu Yiyi, you are not really in love, are you?"

Chu Yiyi stood up, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with her little finger, and raised a false smile, just like when Chen Qingqing first met her.

"How is that possible?"

"Who am I not like this to? What is love? Do you think I have it?"

"It's just that I infected him with humanoid bugs, and I may feel a little guilty about it... If it wasn't because of me, he wouldn't have died."
