Chapter 383 Joining the Rebels (14) - Meeting of the Two Kings
As Si Chen and his group stepped out of the aircraft, Ning Shu saw familiar people, or rather, familiar faces. She didn't expect Ji Shi to be there as well.
Ji Shi seemed to be luckier than her, having stayed with Li Dong in the resistance army. Li Dong must have trusted him, otherwise he wouldn't have kept him by his side all this time.
But Li Dong's condition didn't seem good. The last time she saw him, he was perfectly fine, but now he was sitting in a wheelchair. She didn't know what had happened to him during this time.
Li Dong glanced at Ji Shi, and Ji Shi then led his men forward to search all of Si Chen's group, including Ning Shu.
After confiscating all their weapons, they handcuffed and shackled them, except for Ning Shu.
Then someone came forward and took the driver and Bai Yan away, but it was not said where they were taken.
Before Si Chen could speak, Li Dong spoke first: "I would like to invite Mr. Si to my humble abode for a gathering. Do you not mind?"
Si Chen found it laughable. What did it matter if he minded? The person had already been "invited" here.
"Let's go."
Li Dong had the people behind him push him away, and Ji Shi followed Li Dong, presumably to protect him.
They walked in front, with Si Chen and Ning Shu following behind, while the rest of Li Dong's group followed behind Ning Shu and the others.
Si Chen was already certain that Ning Shu was involved in this matter, but seeing that she was also being monitored, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
She still stands on the side of humanity, but why can't she gain their trust? Is it because of her relationship with Si Zhong, or because she was reshaped by the planet Soya?
Si Chen thought to himself, "It seems that humans are quite cunning."
Si Chen guessed correctly; Ning Shu was indeed involved in this incident.
She stood with the rebels from beginning to end, but her loyalty was not to the rebels, but to humanity.
The so-called "betrayal" of Ning Shu by the resistance army was actually a setup.
Li Dong did indeed intend to recruit Ning Shu, but his original intention was to keep Ning Shu by Si Zhong's side.
Unexpectedly, she was recruited by chance. When Xiang Yunlai confirmed Ning Shu's identity with Li Dong, he had just had an accident, which resulted in him being confined to a wheelchair.
Those who were with Li Dong at that time had seen Ning Shu and knew about this matter, so they confirmed it with Xiang Yun, and that's how Ning Shu entered the base.
Li Dong only found out about this a month later, and unexpectedly, it backfired.
Fortunately, Si Zhong's extensive search for the person gave them an opportunity. Li Dong and An Ran discussed it and decided to take advantage of the situation and return the person.
We can't make it too obvious. We can only wait until Si Zhong is pushed to the limit and makes some harsh statements before arranging for An Ran to contact him and offer to hand over Ning Shu in exchange for the safety of the resistance army.
Things went smoothly. Ning Shu returned to Si Zhong's side and then used the method they had given her to send a message.
On his way to the hospital to deliver the DNA sample, Ning Shu deliberately took a "shortcut" to deliver a message to their other meeting point.
Over the past few months, Ning Shu had occasionally used her position to deliver messages. This time, she arranged the matter according to Li Dong's instructions.
She knew that Si Chen had a guard team, and she also found out how to get rid of that guard team; she got the information from someone else.
As for how she got the information, that's not for outsiders to know, but anyway, she achieved her goal.
Li Dong led them to a grassy area and stood there waiting. Ji Shi spoke a few words into a walkie-talkie.
Suddenly, the grass sank in, then moved horizontally beneath the grass next to it, and then an elevator rose up, which they boarded.
After everyone had boarded, the elevator began to descend. Not long after, Ning Shu felt the light above her head gradually disappear.
Looking up, the patch of grass that had sunk in earlier seemed to have moved back to its original position. There was no light around, only the lights on the elevator headboard provided illumination.
They descended about 10 stories before stopping. Li Dong led Ning Shu and Si Chen to a large instrument and then stopped.
Li Dong spoke up: "Mr. Si, do you know what this is?"
Si Chen glanced at it but couldn't figure out what it was. However, he felt that this was probably a bargaining chip they wanted to use to negotiate with him, otherwise there would be no need for them to show it to him.
Moreover, the other party came with the intention of striking decisively, and he had already made up his mind.
Si Chen: "What this thing is is not important; what's important is what you're about to say."
Li Dong laughed heartily, and for some reason, Ning Shu sensed a hint of desolation in his laughter.
"Mr. Si is very clever, so I'll get straight to the point."
This device is located in many places across the entire planet, and once activated, it can form an energy wave network between the various devices.
This net can cover the entire planet Earth; its main purpose is to kill all life on Earth, turning it into a wasteland.
Ning Shu was shocked. When did they get such a powerful thing?! No, was it really right to create such a thing?
Si Chen was clearly also surprised, but he wasn't as shocked as Ning Shu.
He simply had one question: "When did you start building this thing?"
If he remembered correctly, the Roy aliens had told him that humans had been implanted with some special control genes and that they could not harm the Roy aliens.
He doesn't believe the Loy aliens are lying, so how did humans manage to do that in this situation?
Li Dong smiled wryly: "I can't comment on that. I can only say that we sacrificed too many of our compatriots to achieve this."
Si Chen suddenly remembered some changes that had occurred on Blue Star since they arrived, and seemed to understand the secret behind them.
“I understand. There were large numbers of human refugees who suddenly disappeared. The news was that they starved to death because of the massive loss of jobs.”
This news is fake, right? The real reason is that they were tricked into coming here to assemble this equipment, and then they died.
The tone was affirmative, full of confidence.
Li Dong remained silent, seemingly acquiescing.
Ning Shu stared wide-eyed, somewhat disbelieving that Li Dong would do such a thing.
Li Dong sighed: "We have been exploring and trying, and many people have sacrificed their lives to discover the weaknesses of genetic modification."
As long as our actions do not directly harm the Loy aliens, there is some 'maneuverability' available.
Moreover, as long as the people being kept in the dark don't know the specific purpose of what they're doing, there doesn't seem to be any problem.
However, we cannot stop some people from being very clever and discovering clues during the manufacturing process. Once they guess the truth, they are prone to sudden death.
In such cases, we can only announce that the death was due to a sudden illness.
Upon hearing this, Ning Shu realized that Li Dong and his team were incredibly clever, masters at exploiting plot holes!
"But we never expected that the genetic modification would also continue to evolve. As the equipment was constantly improved, it killed countless of its own kind."
It wasn't until we encountered players who weren't limited by modified genes that this was finally completed.
Ning Shu suddenly realized why she hadn't seen many players in the resistance; they had either defected or come here to do hard labor.
