"What happened?"
After seeing Mr. Su answer the phone, the first Old Captain of Sea Nation asked with a smile.
"It's okay, just a little dispute."
Mr. Su sat back down, explained with a smile, and said, "Let's continue."
Everyone in this conference room felt slightly uncomfortable after hearing this.
They knew that when Mr. Su received the Sea Nation expert team, the call was made here specifically, and after Mr. Su's secretary picked up the call, he still insisted that Mr. Su come over to listen to the call. It must not be a small dispute.
But Mr. Su did not show any anxiety, which shows that he still thinks that receiving the expert team is the most important thing.
"From Old Man Ye, it seems that Sea Nation attaches great importance to cooperation with the alliance?"
Mr. Su asked with a smile, picking up the topic just now and diverting everyone's attention.
After listening to Mr. Su's words, the first Sea Nation Old Captain also smiled and nodded, and continued, "Just like the one who came from the building of the alliance Research Institute According to the suicide note left by the genius scholar who jumped down, the emergence of Mental Mutant will inevitably have an unimaginable impact on the social structure and civilized order we are accustomed to. We must be prepared to welcome arrival of God."
"Although I, like most people, don't like this god who may appear."
When he said this, he smiled and said, "But I also know very well that his level must be beyond our imagination."
Mr. Su listened and nodded gently.
What Old Captain said is actually a consensus.
Nowadays, most High Wall City and organizations have not spread the word about Mental Mutation to avoid causing panic.
But as managers, everyone knows what kind of changes we are facing now.
From these changes, it is not difficult to estimate what kind of impact there will be in the future.
"Compared with those lunatics who want to be gods, all we ordinary people can do is unite."
Old Captain expressed his opinion. "This kind of unity must be close and mutually trusting, rather than like now, with cities and forces as camps, each guarding against itself and holding prejudices. It desperately conceals its own discoveries, but also works hard to dig up the secrets of others. On the surface, it says that peace is the most important, but privately, it fights for different populations, minerals, and training fluids."
"..."
His words ruthlessly exposed the true situation between the various forces today, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
At this time, Professor Bai smiled and said, "Old Man Ye is right."
"However, there is no need to be so pessimistic about cooperation. Nowadays, many people are aware of the importance of cooperation. The third academic exchange meeting held by the alliance three months ago shared a lot of important information, which enhanced the understanding of Mental Mutation by all parties."
"..."
"Because everyone has improved their understanding at the same time, they can't wait to carry out the second phase of research?"
Old Captain laughed and said, "In my opinion, this meeting of the alliance is not so much to promote understanding, but to promote competition. In my opinion, this order of city-states forming an alliance is inherently abnormal. This is just a temporary choice for everyone to buffer and wait for the reconstruction of civilization after the Crimson Moon incident. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages."
"Now, what we need is to become a whole again."
"Only in that way can we most effectively gather the strength of all of us and give full play to our advantages."
"..."
"Yeah..."
Old Captain's words made many people in the conference room slightly moved.
They didn't seem to expect that Old Captain would say these words so frankly.
What's even more unexpected is that Sea Nation would have such ambitions?
Mr. Su Turned his head slightly and looked out the window of the conference room. At this time, the sky was approaching evening. Because there were almost no buildings around, the entire Donghai Hotel seemed very quiet, and it seemed that not even a bird could be heard.
He looked at Old Captain with a smile and said, "Old Man Ye seems to be very touched by this."
Old Captain chuckled, took out a black bag, and an old pipe, and gestured.
No one else smoked, and they frowned when they looked at his body still hanging the bottle.
Old Captain was not polite to anyone else. He stuffed the cut tobacco into the pot, lit it slowly, and blew out a breath of choking smoke.
Then he sighed softly, "It's natural to have feelings. Nowadays, there are more and more people with mental problems, and more and more people have those abilities. Damn, they are all monsters. How scary they are, do you need me to say it?"
"Old man, I used to be ambitious. I refused to accept my old age. When the moon first turned red, the world was full of madmen. I was not convinced, so I took hundreds of people and ran to the sea. No matter how hard it was, I had only a sip of water for three days, but I still survived. Now, those hundreds of people have turned into hundreds of thousands. Isn't this worth bragging about?"
"Later it stabilized, and I brought people back several times to kill the lunatics running around on the ground. It can be said that now in this land, lunatics are becoming fewer and fewer, or even disappearing. No matter how you say it, I must be considered a part of the credit..."
"But now..."
He suddenly coughed violently several times, sighed lowly, and said, "I have been a hero all my life and never admit defeat."
"But after meeting those capable people, I felt powerless."
"If nothing else, I have been dealing with guns for the rest of my life. I touched guns more than women. I fired hundreds of thousands of bullets before I developed a good marksmanship..."
"But those lunatics, they touched the gun and immediately shot better than me."
"I have experienced countless storms and waves in my life. To put it bluntly, those stupid young people can scare the piss out of me with just one look."
"But what about those with abilities..."
As he spoke, his chapped lips trembled. "One look from them can make people commit suicide..."
No one interrupted him, but everyone felt a little emotional in their hearts.
This Old Captain no longer looks like a mature leader, but more like an old man who is somewhat dissatisfied with old age.
Of course, many of the leaders of today's parties were originally ordinary people.
"And what I'm talking about are just ordinary ability users..."
Old Captain said while sighing deeply, "What's more, there is also the S-class that is said to be more powerful..."
"I heard that they all have the ability to destroy a city at will!"
When he said this, the emotion on his face turned into obvious fear.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Professor Bai smiled and said, "I think Old Man Ye doesn't need to be so pessimistic."
"Esperates are indeed powerful, but they are also one of us. We don't need to regard them all as our enemies. This is just a change brought about by Crimson Moon that requires us to adapt and get used to. Including the S-class ability users you mentioned, maybe they are really candidates for the gods that will appear in the genius researcher's last words, but there may not be no room for recovery."
After a slight pause, his expression became serious. "I think we should not be fearful or pessimistic now."
"What we should do is understand them, accept them, and guide them."
"..."
What Professor Bai said made everyone in the conference room feel normal.
This has always been Qinggang's attitude towards people with abilities.
But after hearing what Professor Bai said, Old Captain suddenly focused his eyes on his face.
"That's your problem!"
His voice became a little stern, his attitude was sharp, and he said seriously, "You always have too much confidence, thinking that you can control these people, and even drive them. But you have no idea how dangerous it is to use people like them once you lose control..."
"I also know that all major High Wall Citys are now recruiting ability users and even deconstructing their powers through some experiments."
He raised his head, and there was a deep expression on his face, which was blown dark red by the sea breeze:
"But do you know how I came to see this kind of thing?"
After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "Crimson Moon appeared in the sky and destroyed the previous order and civilization."
"For those of us who are busy adapting to this world and trying to figure out how to survive, the emergence of ability users is like a group of children peeing in mud. They should have been spitting at each other and pulling their hair out, but suddenly someone put boxes of arms in front of us. So, children who have no idea how precious life is or how powerful bullets are have guns in their hands."
"So, how do you protect yourself when you are among a group of ignorant children?"
"..."
When he asked this question, his expression was very solemn and he looked seriously at Mr. Su and Professor Bai in front of him.
Many people felt slightly depressed at this time and had a bad premonition.
The night outside the window seemed to become darker.
"Zizzi..."
The incandescent light overhead flickered a few times, then stabilized, casting a pale light.
Professor Bai just frowned slightly and said nothing.
Mr. Su looked at Old Captain and said, "Old Man Ye said in the fax a month ago..."
"You are here this time to share your experience with us about S-level ability users?"
"I don't know if you..."
"..."
"I've brought him here."
Facing Mr. Su's gaze, Old Captain smiled calmly.
Then, he looked at the young man wearing a red cloak behind him.
"Shuashuashua..."
As he looked over, bursts of nervous commotion suddenly appeared in the entire conference room.
