"General Lin Yao, how are you doing now?"
"Chairman, I'm alright, but I'm temporarily stranded at the bottom of the sea and can't come back."
"When will we be able to get out of this predicament? What can we do for you?"
"Escape? ... We don't know yet."
Although Xiaocao imitated Lin Yao's voice, her speaking style was still very different. As soon as she said this, it immediately aroused the chairman's suspicion. If the call had not come from a nuclear submarine led by Lieutenant General Xiao Deli, and if this secret communication method had not been impossible to crack and replace, the chairman would have immediately hung up the phone and thoroughly investigated the reason.
Xiao Cao waited for a while, but still didn't hear the chairman speak on the other end of the phone, so she turned around and answered the chairman's second question.
"Chairman, I would like you to give the order to ask Xiao Deli to cooperate with my work. I have some trouble here."
"What is it? Tell me." The chairman's doubts deepened, and he decided to listen first.
"I need a few missiles now. Have Xiao Deli deliver them to the center of the Bermuda Triangle, and then drop them to the seabed. I need them urgently."
"Hmm... is there anything else you require?"
“Oh, and one more thing.” Little Grass perked up, “I need a few more nuclear bombs, which I will also drop into the seabed in the same way. However, the warheads must be able to withstand the water pressure at a depth of 10,000 meters, and I must control the timing of the drop. So for now, they can only be placed in Xiao Deli’s submarine.”
"A nuclear bomb?!"
The chairman was truly surprised. Even civilian nuclear facilities are extremely sensitive worldwide, let alone nuclear bombs with warheads. Lin Yao's request at this moment was really beyond imagination.
How many more do you need?
One nuclear bomb is bad enough, but if several of them appeared near the U.S. mainland, it's unknown what international disputes they would cause. At a time when a world war is about to break out, perhaps towing a few nuclear bombs there would be the first step in igniting a global nuclear war.
"What do you need nuclear weapons for?"
The chairman decided to find out the truth first before making a hasty rejection. If the previous assumptions were true, then Lin Yao would be the key to solving the world's food problem, and perhaps the only one to rely on. Therefore, all of Lin Yao's requests must be treated with utmost care.
"It's nothing really, haha."
Xiaocao's tone on the other end of the phone became unserious again. He could even laugh out loud when talking about nuclear bombs, which made one worry whether his nerves were made of steel.
"Here's the thing, I'm trapped in a special place on the seabed. This place is as hard as a turtle shell, and I can't break it no matter what I do. So I'm thinking of trying to bomb it with a few missiles first. If that doesn't work, I'll consider using a nuclear bomb."
"I estimate that the effect of the missile strike will not be significant. So please ask the Chairman to send the nuclear bomb first, so as not to waste time, since this place is quite far from our country."
What? Using a nuclear bomb to blow up something that resembles a cage, just to escape?
The chairman's mind went blank for a moment, unable to imagine whether this request was reasonable or an absurd fantasy.
Lin Yao's abilities have been analyzed by the secret team. He was able to subdue and drag a thousand-ton Japanese submarine to the surface by himself, which means that there is nothing on this planet that can stop him. Therefore, the secret team's advice is to win him over, appease him, and compromise.
Judging from the tone of his voice on the phone, Lin Yao was clearly in the same location as the thing that had trapped him, and he wasn't worried about whether the energy storm released by the nuclear bomb, which was supposed to explode, would be damaged.
What does that mean? It means that the energy of a nuclear bomb cannot harm Lin Yao at all! But if that's the case, how could something that can trap Lin Yao not withstand the power of a nuclear bomb?
The chairman involuntarily started thinking, and several related conditions and contradictory results quickly switched between each other, leaving him in a state of confusion as he couldn't find the answer.
etc!
How did Lin Yao manage to get his voice into Xiao Deli's nuclear submarine?
Could he have used the technique of 'sound transmission in secret'? But the center of the Bermuda Triangle is at least two thousand kilometers away from Xiao Deli's submarine! How could he accurately locate the submarine and communicate with it in the vast ocean?
Moreover, he had never heard of the skill of "transmitting sound secretly" being able to communicate in two directions. The "enforcers" of the military and the ancient martial arts master next to him had already told him about it, so what was wrong with Lin Yao at this moment?
Despite having countless questions, the Chairman could not voice them. This feeling of holding back was far from comfortable. Fortunately, the Chairman was magnanimous and could only keep these questions to himself, forcing himself not to think about them or touch upon them.
"General Lin Yao, there are a few things I need your confirmation on."
The chairman composed himself, his mind racing, prioritizing the most important tasks before considering discussing other matters with Lin Yao.
"Chairman, you speak, I'm listening." Xiaocao remained unserious; in her dictionary, there was no concept of power. If it weren't for cooperating with Lin Yao, she would be an utterly lawless superpower.
"First, I'd like to confirm whether you've improved a large portion of the land, or rather, the environment, in the country?"
"Why are you asking this? Has something happened?" Xiaocao was somewhat surprised and did not immediately answer the chairman's question.
"Yes, agriculture around the world is suffering a fatal blow. Many regions that were originally major agricultural bases are now unable to grow crops. Either the crops cannot germinate and grow normally, or they grow poorly and there is no harvest. So I want to know if you did something to those regions in the country where crops can be grown normally."
The Chairman patiently explained the reason for raising this question: agriculture is the foundation of the nation, especially under the current circumstances, agriculture is even equivalent to the survival of the nation.
"No...it's none of my business! What are you talking about?"
Xiao Cao denied the chairman's speculation. She had indeed tampered with the evidence, but that would reveal the truth about the murder, which was not a good thing. She couldn't let Yao Yao get into trouble.
"..."
The chairman on the other end of the phone was speechless, finding Lin Yao's behavior highly suspicious. It was such an important conversation, and he was the leader of a nation, yet the other party spoke to him in such an unserious tone and attitude, as if it were child's play. It was difficult to remain calm.
With no other choice, the Chairman decided to disregard Lin Yao's feelings and speak frankly. At this point, it was no longer appropriate to be secretive. Now that the fate of the nation was at stake, all the bad habits of the Chinese people, such as hiding their talents, being roundabout, and being moderate, should be abandoned.
"General Lin Yao! I hope you can be serious and listen to me carefully!"
“We studied several cases last year in which government officials and other related personnel died suddenly overnight at the same time. Combining this with the areas in China where agricultural production can now be carried out normally, we discovered the cities where those who died mysteriously were located, as well as the straight-line routes between cities. Special areas appear with a radius of 500 kilometers. These are the areas where crops can now be grown normally. Other areas are in the same situation as abroad, with either no harvest or severe yield reduction.”
"Therefore, I hope you can tell the truth and not mislead the country's decision-making!"
Xiao Cao was taken aback, thinking to herself, "What does your country's decision have to do with me? Although I am Chinese like Yao Yao, it doesn't mean that Chinese people have to make unconditional sacrifices!"
That murder was indeed caused by his use of some kind of technique to release his spirit into the earth, utilizing the "Timu" talent skill to resonate with the earth, thereby stimulating even greater energy and allowing him to fly at an incredible speed with Lin Yao.
But after doing this two or three times, he realized that it was too harmful to him, and he almost lost most of the original power of "Timu". He had already merged with "Timu", and losing "Timu" was losing himself. He would never do such a thing again.
