Chapter 232: Candidate for God

"What happened?"

After seeing Mr. Su answer the phone, the first old captain of the Sea Country asked with a smile.

"It's okay, there was just a little dispute."

Mr. Su sat back in his original position, explained with a smile, and said, "Let's continue."

Everyone in the conference room felt a little uneasy after hearing this.

They knew that when Mr. Su was receiving the expert team from the Sea Country, the call was specifically made here, and after Mr. Su's secretary answered the call, he still insisted on asking Mr. Su to come over to answer the phone. 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.

...

"From what Mr. Ye said, it seems that the cooperation between the Sea Country and the Alliance is more important?"

Mr. Su asked with a smile, continuing the previous topic and diverting everyone's attention.

After hearing what Mr. Su said, the first old captain of the Sea Kingdom also smiled and nodded, and continued: "Just like what the genius scholar who jumped from the building of the Alliance Research Institute said in the suicide note, the emergence of mental mutations will inevitably bring unimaginable impacts to the social structure and civilized order we are accustomed to. We must be prepared to welcome the arrival of God."

"Although I, like most people, don't like this possible God."

He smiled and said, "But I also know that his level will definitely be beyond our imagination."

Mr. Su listened and nodded gently.

What the old captain said is actually a consensus.

Now most of the high-walled cities and organizations have not popularized the matter of mental mutations to avoid causing panic.

But as managers, everyone knows what kind of changes they are facing now.

From these changes, it is not difficult to estimate what kind of impact there will be in the future.

…

"Compared to those crazy people who want to become gods, all we ordinary people can do is unite."

The old captain expressed his own views: "This kind of unity must be close and trusting, not like now, with cities and forces as camps, each on guard and prejudiced. They try their best to hide their discoveries and try to dig out other people's secrets. On the surface, they say that peace is the most important thing, but in private they fight for different populations, minerals and training fluids."

"..."

His words ruthlessly exposed the real situation between the various forces, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Professor Bai smiled and said, "Mr. Ye is right."

"But there is no need to be so pessimistic about cooperation. Now many people have realized the importance of cooperation. The third academic exchange meeting held by the alliance three months ago shared a lot of important information and enhanced the understanding of all parties on mental mutation."

"..."

"Because everyone has improved their understanding at the same time, they can't wait to carry out the second phase of research?"

The old captain laughed and said, "In my opinion, this meeting of the alliance is not so much to promote understanding as to promote competition. In my opinion, this order of forming an alliance based on city-states is inherently deformed. This is just a temporary choice for everyone to buffer and wait for the reconstruction of civilization after the Red Moon incident. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

"Now, what we need is to become a whole again."

"Only in this way can we most effectively gather the strength of all of us and give full play to our advantages."

"..."

"Ah..."

The old captain's words moved many people in the conference room.

They didn't seem to expect that the old captain would say these words so frankly.

What was even more unexpected was that the Sea Country would actually have such an ambition?

Mr. Su turned his head slightly and looked out the window of the conference room. At this time, it was already approaching dusk. Because there were almost no buildings around, the entire East China Hotel seemed very quiet, and it seemed that even the sound of birds could not be heard.

He smiled and looked at the old captain and said, "Mr. Ye seems to be very touched by this."

The old captain laughed, took out a black bag and an old pipe, and gestured.

Others did not smoke, and frowned when they saw that he was still hanging on the bottle.

The old captain was not polite to others, stuffed the tobacco into the pipe, slowly lit it, and exhaled a mouthful of choking smoke.

Then he sighed softly, "Of course I feel touched. Now there are more and more people with mental problems, and more and more people with those damn abilities. These are all monsters. How terrible they are, do I need to say it?"

"As an old man, I used to be ambitious and unwilling to admit old age. When the moon just turned red, the world was full of crazy people. I refused to accept it, so I took hundreds of people and ran to the sea. No matter how hard it was, I only drank a mouthful of water for three days, but I still survived. Now, those hundreds of people have become hundreds of thousands. Isn't this worth bragging about?"

"Later, it stabilized. I brought people back several times to strangle those crazy people running around. It can be said that now there are fewer and fewer crazy people on this land, and even disappeared. No matter what, I have to credit them..."

"But now..."

He suddenly coughed violently a few times, sighed softly, and said, "I have been a hero all my life and never admit defeat."

"But after seeing those people with special abilities, I felt powerless."

"Let's not talk about anything else. I have been dealing with guns for the rest of my life. I have touched guns more than women. I have fired hundreds of thousands of bullets before I developed good marksmanship..."

"But what about those crazy people? They can shoot better than me as soon as they touch a gun."

"I have experienced countless storms in my life. To put it bluntly, those young people can scare people with just one look."

"But what about those people with special abilities..."

As he said this, his cracked lips trembled: "One look from them can make people commit suicide..."

...

No one interrupted him, but they all felt a little emotional.

This old captain no longer looks like a mature leader, but rather like an old man who is unwilling to accept his age.

Of course, there are many leaders of various parties now, all of whom are ordinary people.

"And what I'm talking about are just ordinary people with special abilities..."

As the old captain spoke, he sighed deeply: "What's more, there are those S-level people who are 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 had turned into obvious fear.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Professor Bai smiled and said, "I think Mr. Ye doesn't need to be so pessimistic."

"The ability users 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 by the Red Moon, which we need to adapt to and get used to. Including the S-level ability users you mentioned, maybe they are really the candidates for the gods that will appear in the last words of the genius researcher, but there may be room for recovery."

After a slight pause, his face became serious: "I think we should not be blindly afraid or pessimistic now."

"What we should do is to understand them, accept them, and guide them."

"..."

What Professor Bai said made everyone in the conference room feel very normal.

This is Qinggang's attitude towards ability users.

But the old captain listened to Professor Bai's words and suddenly set his eyes on his face.

"That's your problem!"

His voice became a little stern, his attitude sharp, and he said seriously: "You always have too much confidence, thinking that you can control these people, or even drive them. But you don't know how dangerous it is to use people like them once you lose control..."

"I also know that all the major high-walled cities are now recruiting people with special abilities, and even deconstructing their power through some experiments."

He raised his head, and his face, which was dark red from the sea breeze, showed a deep expression:

"But do you know how I look at this kind of thing?"

After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "The red moon appeared in the sky, destroying the previous order and civilization."

"For us who are now busy adapting to this world and trying to survive, the appearance of people with special abilities is like a group of children who urinate and live in the mud. They should have been spitting and pulling each other's hair, but suddenly someone put boxes of munitions in front of us, so the children who didn't know how precious life was and how powerful bullets were, all had guns in their hands."

"So, when you are among such a group of ignorant children, how should you protect yourself?"

"..."

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 were slightly depressed at this time, and had a bad premonition.

The night outside the window seemed to become darker.

"Zizi..."

The incandescent lamp above his head flashed a few times, then stabilized, and cast a pale light.

Professor Bai just frowned slightly and said nothing.

Mr. Su looked over at the old captain and said, "Mr. Ye said in the fax a month ago..."

"This time you came here to exchange experiences with us about S-level ability users?"

"Then I wonder if you..."

"..."

"I have brought him here."

Facing Mr. Su's gaze, the old captain smiled calmly.

Then, his eyes looked at the young man in a red cloak behind him.

"Shua shua shua..."

As he looked over, the entire conference room suddenly became tense and agitated.
