Chapter 166: Are you crazy? That’s our spare power bank!
The low voice dissipated into the air.
The owner of the voice picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, turned his head slightly, and spoke to the side.
"The tea is good. Send some to Bai Shao."
Doctor Qi, who was acting as a background, stepped out the door and said, "I'll be right there."
Perhaps it was because Bai Shao's name was too famous, Victor suddenly changed his attitude. He slowly approached the camera. He had a typical Nordic appearance with prominent brows, deep eye sockets and gray-blue eyes. The owner of this face had completely white hair and looked weathered, but he still looked handsome as he did in his youth.
Victor's eyes were covered with calculating lines. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "You want to vent her anger?"
Xiao Wenjing lowered his eyes, silently clenched his fists, and secretly considered whether he should give his superior a slap in the face the next time they met. He hid his thoughts and corrected him, "Please don't blur international issues into personal grudges."
In the face of disaster, everyone is in danger.
Everyone is working hard for the future.
He did this not only to give an explanation to Banluo's bride, but more for humanity itself. Even though it was sad and lamentable, they had to admit that they needed the protection of the invaders at this time.
Victor sneered, "Admit it, you did it for her. I don't understand. You have parents and brothers, and Bai Shao is just your cousin, a cousin you haven't seen in years. Is it necessary for you to defend her so much?"
Xiao Wenjing stared.
Is it necessary?
It is very necessary.
He knew that Bai Shao was still Bai Shao, and that Bai Shao's mind-reading ability was still there. These were enough for him to protect her unconditionally.
The air fell into silence.
A slender figure quietly appeared, disturbing the silence in the conference room and breaking the deadlock between the two sides.
Bai Shao leaned forward, her arm casually resting on the back of the chair where Xiao Wenjing was sitting. Her braided hair fell to the left side of her shoulder due to gravity. Her pointed chin was shrouded in the shadow of her hair, and her protruding collarbone made her aura like a knife, cold and aggressive.
Victor raised his eyes and met Bai Shao's gaze. He saw the all-seeing look hidden in those dark eyes.
Bai Shao: "The head of the General Administration, right?"
This half-smile expression immediately sent a chill down Victor's spine. He subconsciously thought of his father, the Supreme Court Justice who had been in office for decades.
Victor found it incredible.
He actually felt the long-lost sense of oppression from a child of the same age as his daughter. Just one glance at Bai Shao made him feel that all his disguises were in vain.
This is so weird.
Victor frowned. He had seen Bai Shao on the Internet before, but he had never seen Bai Shao so openly hide her true nature.
Bai Shao slowly stood up straight, her tone not so pleasant: "You are first and foremost a citizen of Country E, and secondly a director of the International Bureau. What good will it bring you if you work for the Maria family?"
Victor's lips formed a thin line.
Are there any benefits?
He was good at smoothing things over, not taking sides. When Charles and the others wanted to attack the invaders, he sat back and enjoyed the results, content to watch the fight unfold. Like Charles, he hadn't thought Bai Shao would make it out of the vortex alive.
The chessboard was disrupted.
The winner became the loser.
Victor leaned back slightly, looking at Xiao Wenjing the entire time as he spoke. "I didn't understand before, but now I kind of understand you. If our family also had such a powerful person, we would also hold him in high esteem, protect him in every possible way, and love him in every possible way."
He had already foreseen this game on the new chessboard. The Maria family was doomed to be defeated. They lost at the crucial point because there was no Bai Shao in the family.
Unfortunately, Bai Shao, like the invaders, was not from their country and could not be used by them.
Xiao Wenjing remained silent.
Victor sighed and offered an explanation, hoping to restore the strained relationship between the two parties. "It was Charles who convinced us that controlling power is the best way forward. Intruders are still invaders after all."
Bai Shao hugged her arms and said nothing.
Listen carefully: [He is afraid.]
Victor continued, "The Maria family promised to find a way to parasitize the invaders. Perhaps we can use their power for our own benefit."
Di Ting: [He is simply afraid.]
Bai Shao frowned: "Say less."
Victor: “…”
Are all the little girls nowadays so tough?
If you say something unpleasant, just shut up!
Bai Shao raised her eyes: "I'm not talking about you, just continue."
Victor: “…”
There are three people present in total. If it's not him, then could it be Xiao Wenjing?
He was not blind or deaf, and could see everything clearly. Ever since Bai Shao appeared, Xiao Wenjing immediately gave up the dominant position, and so far, he has not uttered a single word!
Victor gave a dry laugh. "Actually, I don't want to get involved. Even tit-for-tat has to come to an end."
Bai Shao said meaningfully, "Soon."
Victor didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask because he knew that if he asked, he would look stupid.
Xiao Wenjing put down his teacup: "What do you mean?"
Victor cast a grateful look at Xiao Wenjing.
Xiao Wenjing felt a chill when he was looked at, but since he was not a rough man like Xiao Qiexing, although he felt disgusted, he did not say anything.
Bai Shao hinted, "When I returned from that world, I saw several mechanical beasts entering the vortex. Where they led to is unknown. Before this, over 3,000 cases had occurred around the world. With Banluo Xinfu and the others, we can guarantee that our country will not be harmed. As for other countries."
Xiao Wenjing nodded in understanding.
Victor suddenly fell silent, standing still like an old tree taking root. Regardless of whether Bai Shao's words were true or false, Bai Shao reminded him that as long as the mechanical animals were not eliminated, their safety would not be guaranteed.
It turns out that mechanical animals have no weaknesses, and human weapons are like tickling them. However, large weapons are a double-edged sword, and they cannot destroy the homes that humans depend on for survival in order to destroy mechanical animals.
The lack of casualties in the early stages was due to the fact that the mechanical animals only captured wild animals, and a few domesticated ones. If the invaders behind these mechanical animals were planning to boil the frog in the boiling water, they would sooner or later turn their attention to humans. What would they do then?
Victor raised his eyes and looked at Bai Shao.
Before closing the video conference, Bai Shao smiled and said, "I'll answer for them. I can't help."
Xiao Wenjing rubbed his eyebrows: "You didn't tell me this."
Bai Shao patted Xiao Wenjing's shoulder and said, "Why would I tell you this if it's fake? But it might become true in the future."
Xiao Wenjing understood Bai Shao's hint. If humans didn't want to destroy themselves, they had to do something.
Bai Shao told Xiao Wenjing about Shangliang Village and concluded by saying, "I'll go over there now. If I'm lucky, I can catch a few fish."
Xiao Wenjing simply said, "I'll assign you some manpower."
Bai Shao shook her head. "No need. You should continue to figure out how to get Xiao Tang, Pang Lei, and Xiao Hai to absorb the blood in your body. They will be the second group of pioneers after Ban Luo's bride."
Di Ting: [Are you crazy? That's our backup power bank!]
