Bullet Plan
Despair is not actually terrible.
Often, the despair that follows hope is the most terrifying.
Just like now.
The world has clearly emerged from the threat of the Heavenly Dog.
But fifteen years passed peacefully.
Suddenly someone announced that the Heavenly Dog crisis had struck again.
Anyone would find this unbearable!
At that moment, it was as if someone had turned on some kind of switch on the Mother Planet.
The order established over hundreds of years collapsed in an instant.
The world went from stability to chaos in less than a second.
After a brief period of confusion and despair, people have entered the next stage.
Crazy!
It spreads around people like a virus.
It was only then that people realized that the end of the world might be the best touchstone to test human nature.
In the face of the apocalypse, humanity has finally shed its old masks, revealing its truest selves.
Pessimists cannot accept the fact that the end of the world is coming.
Despair and helplessness completely enveloped them at that moment.
These people are like walking corpses.
They lost the motivation to move forward.
"Just getting by" became the true description of how these people lived.
It just goes to show that some people are alive, but they are already dead.
Optimists, however, also experienced a period of anxiety.
However, their inherent personalities allow them to remain calm even when facing the apocalypse.
In their minds, since the end of the world is unavoidable...
Why not cherish the present!
Living each day well before the end of the world is perhaps the best way to give yourself a proper ending to your life.
However, compared to the former two, more people chose to shift their emotions.
They became violent and hostile.
As if to vent their fear of the apocalypse, the worst aspects of human nature were fully exposed at this moment.
In the apocalypse, morality, law, duty, and responsibility all become a joke.
Driven by fear, the beast within is being unleashed little by little.
Some of these people are just like that by nature; the apocalypse simply gave them an opportunity to unleash their true nature.
Some people, however, cannot accept the cruel reality of the apocalypse, and therefore choose to vent their anger on others.
Robbery, rape, and even murder become commonplace at this moment.
The world's chaos has worsened due to the actions of these people.
Without constraints, the kind-hearted are always the first to get hurt.
Countless kind-hearted ordinary people became the targets of the perpetrators' venting at this moment.
Whether they were optimists or pessimists, they all ultimately became victims.
Logically, with Global Security System in place, such turmoil shouldn't be possible on the Mother Planet.
Just like last time, once the security system takes action, it will definitely be able to quell the unrest in a short period of time.
But this time is different from the last.
The number of participants last time was, after all, small.
And most of them were driven by people with ulterior motives.
Once the security system apprehends the ringleader, the riots will naturally be quelled.
This time, however, it was almost a state of nationwide riots.
Everyone is a criminal; everyone is disrupting the balance of this world.
This leaves Global Security System at a loss.
After all, it's not some rudimentary form of artificial intelligence.
When judging whether a crime has been committed, we will not only judge the criminal's actions.
At the same time, the surrounding environment and psychological state will also be taken into account.
According to assessments by the Global Security System, while the actions of the vast majority of people during the unrest were criminal, they were not without justifiable reasons.
This is the main reason why the Global Security System has been slow to act.
Meanwhile, Yi Xuan was busy discussing solutions with everyone.
How could they possibly have the mind to care about the situation on their Mother Planet?
In his view, the riots on the Mother Planet were nothing compared to the recurring Heavenly Dog crisis.
The discussion lasted for three days and three nights.
The riots on the Mother Planet lasted for three days and three nights.
Unfortunately, none of the many capable advisors under Yi Xuan could come up with a truly feasible solution.
Only Liang Shi offered his own idea when everyone was at a loss.
"Everyone, I have an idea?"
"Principal Liang has a solution?"
Shh! Keep your voice down! Listen carefully!
Even Yi Xuan focused all his attention on Liang Shi at this moment, wanting to see what solution his disciple would come up with.
"Cough cough!"
Liang Shi coughed twice, then looked around.
"Everyone, do you think it's possible that the stomach lining the advance team encountered was actually from that original Heavenly Dog?"
Everyone was stunned by these words.
I thought Liang Shi would come up with some valuable solutions.
Instead of offering anything, they turned around and started researching Heavenly Dog).
However, this makes sense upon reflection, as Liang Shi's achievements are primarily concentrated in the field of bioengineering.
Asking him to come up with a solution to the Heavenly Dog crisis is indeed a bit of a challenge.
However, Yi Xuan took Liang Shi's words to heart.
"You mean the two layers of the stomach wall belong to the same Heavenly Dog?"
"Hmm, the idea that the Great Heavenly Dog contains the Little Heavenly Dog is utterly absurd! As a top-tier Demon Race in the universe, capable of devouring an entire star system, it's not impossible for it to have two stomachs, right? Just like the oxen we know, they have four stomachs, don't they?"
"So what's your solution?"
Liang Shi smiled and nodded, saying:
"We know far too little about the Heavenly Dog. Apart from some basic characteristics that Venerable Yuan told us, we know nothing else."
"Um!"
Yi Xuan nodded in agreement. "This information asymmetry is indeed too passive!"
"Master! Since we can't solve this information asymmetry, why don't we make some assumptions?"
Liang Shi looked around at everyone, his face serious. "I'm going to make an assumption now! The Heavenly Dog itself has two layers of stomach wall, maybe more, three! Four! Even ten! How should we deal with this situation? Even if the Dyson Sphere Engineering Project and the Stars' Assistance Project can still be used, how many times can they last?"
At this point, Liang Shi controlled a piece of white paper to float up and stand upright behind him.
"Everyone! Look, this piece of paper is like the first layer of Heavenly Dog's stomach lining!"
"Splash!"
Liang Shi then tore the paper to shreds.
Then, under his control, a stack of white papers floated up behind him and lined up one by one.
Nearly twenty sheets of white paper were stacked on top of each other.
"And these might be the remaining stomach lining of the Heavenly Dog! What we can see now is still the very first one, but there might be twenty more, or even more, behind it!"
Upon hearing Liang Shi's words, everyone's faces were filled with despair.
One is easy! Two is also manageable!
But what if we really need twenty sheets, as Liang Shi said?
"Bang!"
Just as everyone was filled with worry, a gunshot rang out, instantly waking them up.
Liang Shi was holding a very ordinary mechanical pistol, with white smoke rising from the muzzle.
However, a series of bullet holes appeared on those twenty sheets of paper.
"Gentlemen! This is my plan! Bullet Plan!"
"Cut!"
As soon as Liang Shi finished speaking, some people immediately expressed their disdain.
"Easy for you to say! But the Heavenly Dog's stomach lining isn't made of paper! And we don't have the bullets you're talking about!"
Although these words were somewhat discouraging to the troops, Liang Shi had to admit that what the other party said was true.
Even he himself only came up with this method through sheer imagination.
As for how to achieve it? There's simply no way to begin!
Just as everyone was about to reject the proposal, a voice rang out.
"No! We have bullets!"
