Chapter 187 The Sword of Damocles

Before the war, Wanghai City, as a world-class metropolis, had the largest high-tech park and countless research institutes.

It is precisely because of this that after the war broke out, Wanghai City became the focus of the battlefield on the east coast, and naturally it was impossible to escape the cleansing of various nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Among them, the city center was particularly tragic. It was almost blown into a piece of scorched earth, and only extreme mutant creatures or dead zombies could survive there.

In this wasteland, downtown is synonymous with danger. Even the most powerful hunter team has never set foot in that area. Groups of zombies, lairs of ghouls, unreasonably powerful aliens... The rewards of exploring the city center are completely out of proportion to the risks.

But if there's a time when the city center is relatively safe, it's winter.

In winter, most alien species need to hibernate, and the only trouble is the zombies.

But even so...

"Downtown? What else is there besides nuclear bomb craters and broken metal?" A congressman wearing square glasses sneered disdainfully.

"Maybe it is a murder tool left by the predecessors? Or maybe it is just a USB flash drive loaded with mysterious codes? No matter what is there, our neighbors have already become interested, right? We have reason to believe that they have conclusive Only if there is no evidence, they will travel thousands of miles to plot against us." Cao Jinsong said with a smile.

"If you just want to enter the city center, why don't you discuss it with us?" Zhao Chenwu frowned. Shen Sheng said, "We don't necessarily have to fight. We can cooperate completely. For example, provide supplies to their expeditionary force and charge a certain commission—"

"What do you think the Northern Federation is, the hunter squad stationed here? Provide supplies? Why don't you just plunder? They are not businessmen, but bandits under the rule of a warlord." A congressman sarcastically said.

"It doesn't matter whether they can beat us or not, even if they win, do they still have the strength to plot the city center? I agree with Representative Zhao's point of view. Their behavior is abnormal. Maybe there is something hidden in it that we don't know about." Said a more stable member of parliament.

"Because of arrogance." Feng De said with a sneer.

"However, arrogance has nothing to do with IQ. They chose to go to war knowing that cooperation is the best option, unless—"

"Unless that treasure is attractive enough," Cao Jinsong said, covering the tip of his nose with his crossed fingers, "They firmly believe in the value of that treasure, and they also firmly believe that we will try our best to snatch it after we know the true face of that treasure. Even if we insist We cannot guarantee our honesty even if we have established a reputation for more than ten years.”

"so.

What will that treasure be? "Someone asked aloud.

"I personally prefer it to be a weapon." A mysterious smile flashed across Cao Jinsong's face, and he lowered his voice. "If there is a super weapon, it can suppress a base or even a city in an instant." people--"

"It's impossible. If there is such a weapon, it will be the focus of care during wartime." Someone retorted immediately.

"Second. And, how are they sure that there must be such a thing in the center of Wanghai City?"

Cao Jinsong didn't care about the rebuttals of other councilors, but just smiled calmly.

paused. he went on.

"We are all those who unfortunately failed to enter the sanctuary. I believe you are familiar with that war. The space-based weapon that broke through the Holy Shield system-the stick of God."

Hearing the name Rod of God, everyone here held their breath.

That was a long time ago, but even today, more than ten years later, they will not forget what happened that day.

The dome covering the sky collapsed under the blue rays, followed by orbital paratroopers falling like raindrops...

Zhao Chenwu looked at Cao Jinsong in disbelief, and said with difficulty: "Didn't that thing be blown up into space junk? I remember it was occupied by the space special forces, and then started to self-destruct—"

"According to the data modeling and analysis performed by my supercomputer," Cao Jinsong took out a graphene card from his pocket, shook it between his fingers, and stuck it on the table.

The holographic image appeared again, a simulated earth with a mesh structure, and a weapon platform floating above it-the staff of God.

"With a self-destruct explosion of 259 kilograms of TNT equivalent, the weapon module will fall in the center of Wanghai City." The mesh-woven weapon part of the Rod of God turned red, drawing a red trajectory, pointing to the location of Wanghai City simulated on the earth.

"If they get the satellite fragment, and repair it, shoot it back into space. It will be a sword of Damocles hanging over all of us. It will be our eternal nightmare."

As he spoke the last word, the holographic image disappeared, and the atmosphere on the conference table froze instantly.

The expressions on everyone's faces became wonderful.

In addition to fear and anger, there is also a trace of greed?

"What are they trying to do..." Zhao Chenwu said with difficulty.

"Domination, or slavery." Cao Jinsong tapped his fingers on the table lightly, "They want to continue their dictatorship outside of the Northwest Land. I can't think of any other reasons other than this."

"Resistance is inevitable. There is no doubt that free will will never bow to a dictator. Then there are nothing more than two choices before us at this moment."

"One, before they come to Wanghai City, explore the city center first. If there is really a big killer there, we can definitely use that thing to deal with them."

"Second, turn your back on our 'treasure', deploy defenses around the suburbs, and fight to the death with the invaders."

"So, as usual, let's vote."

After speaking, Cao Jinsong smiled meaningfully, and then pressed the voting button.

 …

The vote finally passed the second resolution with an absolute advantage of 2:8 - a fight to the death with the invaders.

Exploring the city center can be an adventure, even in winter. If a certain price is paid for this, but the treasure cannot be found, or the treasure is not a weapon at all, and even the weapon cannot be repaired and put into use in a short time, it will undoubtedly add variables to the war.

Most people chose a more secure solution, first to solve the foreign aggression, and then go to see what is hidden in the ruins.

After the meeting, the MPs left one after another.

Walking out of the meeting hall, Zhao Chenwu frowned. Su Lei, who was waiting at the door, saw the boss coming out, and immediately went up to meet him.

Taking the coat from the personal secretary, he put it on and walked quickly outside the Capitol without saying a word.

"Is there any trouble?" As the boss's right-hand man, Su Lei asked in a low voice.

"There is no more trouble, I just feel that something is wrong." Zhao Chenwu said in a deep voice.

"Business?"

"No... I hope it's just my illusion."

Seeing his colleagues leaving quickly, for some reason, a trace of uneasiness surged in his heart. (To be continued. (.)) () "I Have a Suite in the End Times" only represents the author's point of view. A healthy and green reading platform. 【】,thank you all!
