A Tu's Request

A Tu, come here to find humans.

Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan pondered for a moment, and then began discussing it with Zhu Pete in the communication channel.

"Pi Te, what do you think we should do with A Tu?"

Zhu Pete was taken aback. Why did they start asking me?

"Commander Yue, didn't we discuss researching the Dog-Headed People at the last meeting? Why not just hand it over to the people at the Biology Research Institute? Once they've made some progress, we can decide how to deal with Dog-Headed People based on the situation," Zhu Pete said. "As for taking over the Dog-Headed People, that can only be decided after that Mind Imprint technology is developed. So I think after the scientists at the Biology Research Institute complete their initial research on the Dog-Headed People, the next step should be to prepare to capture some Dog-Headed People and freeze them."

"Yes." Yue Yuan nodded. Zhu Pete was right. This was the preliminary plan that was decided after the last meeting.

If this plan is followed, then it doesn't matter how A Tu is dealt with.

Anyway, humans are going to stay on this planet for a long time, probably not for several hundred years. In that long, A Tu might have already died of old age, so there's no need for special treatment.

Actually, Yue Yuan had intended to use A Tu as a starting point to understand the situation of the Dog-Headed People, but now that he thinks about it, it really wasn't necessary.

The technological gap between humans and Dog-Headed People is too great; to understand everything about the Dog-Headed People, no planning is needed at all.

If you want to analyze its genes, you can just capture it and study it. As for the social structure and development level of the population, you can also openly send small drones to collect information.

There's no need to do things in the name of some God of Light.

Even capturing a sufficient number of Dog-Headed People to freeze can be done by sending someone wearing Tactical Armor.

However, forcibly capturing them city by city would be somewhat troublesome. If possible, Yue Yuan would prefer to let these Dog-Headed People do it voluntarily.

Thinking this, Yue Yuan added, "That's true, but since there's a way to avoid unnecessary trouble, why should we create trouble for ourselves? I'll leave A Tu to you. Since he thinks we're some kind of God of Light, then you're in charge of establishing that image. Then, with just a word, we can get tens of thousands, even millions, of Dog-Headed People on board. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Commander Yue, why don't we leave this to the Propaganda Department? I think they're more experienced. My soldiers in the Security Department don't know anything about this." Zhu Pete looked embarrassed, but because he was controlling a robot, no one could tell.

"It's just playing the role of a god, no need for the Propaganda Department, besides, you've been quite free lately."

"Um, okay then."

"I'm not idle at all," Zhu Pete thought to himself, secretly regretting that he hadn't come to wander around on the ground. "Well, the Security Department has a ton of work to do now, what's the point of pretending to be some big shot?"

He sighed inwardly.

Although I wasn't really willing, since I had already agreed, I had to do it.

Thinking this, Zhu Pete said to A Tu, who was still prostrate on the ground, "A Tu, get up. Since you said you came to see me, God of Light, what business do you have with me?"

"This..." A Tu suddenly looked at Zhu Pete with suspicion, then slowly stood up and glanced at Yue Yuan next to him. He was very puzzled because the two of them looked exactly alike.

Their surfaces were all shimmering silver, but he remembered that there was only one God of Light in the legends. How could there be two identical God of Light? And what about that enormous creature that fell from the sky earlier?

That enormous creature can fly; anything that can fly must be a god. Could these two not be the true God of Light?

A Tu may be ignorant, but he is not stupid.

With this in mind, A Tu cautiously said, "Excuse me, are you the God of Light? I want to ask the God of Light to heal the Sacrificial Elder of our tribe. Our tribe are all children of the God of Light. Please, God of Light, save the Sacrificial Elder."

The way he said that—he just questioned whether it was the God of Light in the first sentence, and then immediately started asking for it—he really has some brains.

Zhu Pete nodded and then said, "We are subordinates of the God of Light, and we are aware of your tribe's generations of priests. As for your request, we will relay it to the God of Light when we return, God of Light will then come to your aid."

"Thank you, Great God of Light, thank you, Great God of Light. But... but when I left the tribe a year ago, the Sacrificial Elder's condition was already very serious. I don't know if he is still alive now..." A Tu's voice grew softer and softer. He still remembered the scene when he first met the Sacrificial Elder, who said that he didn't have much time left. Now more than a year has passed, and he didn't know if he was still alive.

Upon hearing A Tu's words, Zhu Pete understood what he meant, and then he continued, "Don't worry, the God of Light is merciful. No matter how serious the illness, as long as there is still a breath left, the God of Light can save him. Let's not delay, let's go back and tell the God of Light. You wait here, and tomorrow the God of Light will send someone to find you."

"Thank you, great God of Light!" A Tu bowed down again upon hearing this.

As he bowed down, Yue Yuan and the robot controlled by Zhu Pete turned and walked towards the transport ship.

The transport ship was originally there to pick up A Tu and take him back to the base for research, but since the matter has been handed over to Zhu Pete, and Zhu Pete said that A Tu should stay here for the time being, then we can only take the two robots back first.

Before long, under the control of Yue Yuan and Zhu Pete, the two robots boarded the transport ship. Then, the transport ship's autopilot function was activated, transporting the two remotely operated robots back to the base.

After the two robots were loaded onto the transport ship, Yue Yuan and Zhu Pete naturally no longer needed to control them.

After disconnecting, Yue Yuan looked at Zhu Pete in the cloud cockpit, who was taking off his virtual reality helmet.

"I say Pi Te, there are plenty of wild beasts in that desolate wilderness. You wouldn't have abandoned A Tu there to die because you didn't want to take responsibility for the God of Light, would you?"

"Uh, Commander Yue, what are you saying?" Zhu Pete avoided Yue Yuan's gaze and said as he got out of the driver's seat, "I set up two drones to keep an eye on things before I logged off."

After saying that, he pointed to the virtual headset, as if to say that he had just logged off to arrange this matter.

Seeing Yue Yuan nod, Zhu Pete continued, "Besides, isn't A Tu looking for someone to treat his illness? He can take this opportunity to boost his divine prestige. Commander Yue entrusted this matter to me, and now that there's such a good opportunity, why would I want to make things difficult for myself?"

That sounds plausible.
