The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 977 Pivot
Before dawn, border desert island.

The sky was dark gray, and there were countless crows hovering over the desert island, as well as various winter insects.There are also countless schools of fish swimming around the sponges around the desert island, and there are even shark fins emerging from the water and swimming back and forth.

There is a simple big house built on a desert island.

In the square in front of the house, there were three large broken oil drums, filled with firewood, which were lit together and formed a strong flame.

Almost all members of the Nine Sis and Twelve Zodiac Signs gathered in the square.

After Gao Yang, Tengu and Gregor brought Jing Shu back to the base, Yishi immediately started treatment. Gao Yang explained the situation and held a plenary meeting 10 minutes later.

Regarding the rescue of Zhuque, Meng Yang, Wang Weizhen, and Zhang Wei, there was no disagreement among all members and the decision was unanimously approved.

But regarding the rescue plan, everyone has different opinions and opinions. There are three main schools of thought.

The first group believes that the rune circuit must not be handed over to Qilin. This will only play into one's own ambitions. They should pretend to trade and then find a way to save the hostages. If there is a chance, it is best to kill Qilin.

People who support this view include: Jiuhan, Red Bee, Lao 7, Pohou, Ganari, Quyou, Anhege, Lin Fu, and Hengmu.

The second group believes that the priority must be to rescue the hostages. As long as Qilin keeps his word, it can be traded with the rune circuit, and everyone will find a way to get it back later.

People who support this view include: Dead Pig, Tengu, Crow Shark, Chen Ying, Ke You, Yi Shi, Hong Xiaoxiao, Gao Xinxin, Grego, and Xiao Qingcai.

The third group of people's point of view is that they have no point of view and they obey the arrangement.

The people in this group include: Qing Ling, Wang Zikai, Nana, Liao, Tingting, Bumblebee, and Hui Che.

The first two factions argued fiercely.

As the leaders of the two organizations, Gao Yang and Dou Hu did not take the lead in expressing their opinions.

Douhu held an unlit cigarette in his mouth and squatted on two old tires. There was a broad sword stuck on the ground next to him. He narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.

Gao Yang sat on an old sofa and listened quietly.

Dr. Jia squeezed next to Gao Yang. He had already combed the parrot in his arms, trimmed its nails, and massaged its head. His face was getting increasingly impatient.

He didn't want to attend any stupid meeting, but Jiuhan forced him to come. After listening for half an hour, he just felt that his life was wasted and he was extremely irritated.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Dr. Jia couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and shouted: "Stop having useless discussions. It's like Qilin will choose for us."

For a moment, there was silence in the square, and everyone looked at Dr. Jia.

"Embarrassing. Embarrassing. Embarrassing." The parrot cried happily.

"Go away!" Dr. Jia slapped the parrot and drove it away. He cleared his throat and shouted: "Everyone! I'm just going to ask you a few questions. You answer me first."

"Is it possible that Qilin has already rejected the vote and used [Puppet Master] to control the hostages and pretend to be alive?"

As soon as these words came out, many people immediately turned pale. It wasn't that they hadn't thought about this possibility, but they didn't dare or didn't want to think about it.

"Is it possible that Qilin won't go at all, but digs a hole for us to jump into?"

"Is it possible that Qilin is attacking in the east and in the west, and driving the tiger away from the mountain, actually to steal our home, because he doesn't believe that we will obediently give him the rune circuit."

"Is it possible that Qilin doesn't need to play tricks with us at all? He is already level 8 [Vientiane] + [Puppet Master]. He will accept as many heads as we have tonight?" These four questions immediately confused everyone. Everyone fell silent.

"These problems are not certain, so we are just trying to solve them based on wishful thinking." Dr. Jia did not hide his disdain: "If you have the time, go get some sleep and recuperate. Maybe you can save something better tonight." The appearance of death..."

"Old Jia." Douhu interrupted with a playful smile: "The previous words are all good, but the last sentence is unnecessary. It will inflate other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige."

"You are still impressive!" Dr. Jia said mercilessly, "I don't see how powerful you are. Regardless of whether you are right or wrong, you are really not as good as Qilin when it comes to success."

"Ouch! It's worse." Douhu pretended to be unconvinced, but in fact he was talking in a cliché.

"Just one thing, he has clear goals and firmly grasps the key points." Dr. Jia said: "Look at you, this want, that want, this worry, that worry, you have all been in elementary school, and you have learned the story of the monkey entering the orchard. Well, you know what it means to pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelon."

"Who doesn't know how to make sarcastic remarks?" Red Bee was a little unconvinced: "You are a genius, but you have two tricks."

"I don't have any tricks. I'm just telling you that if you want to achieve something, try to simplify complicated things, focus on simple things, and find the fulcrum first before you can lift things up."

"Fulcrum." Jiuhan pondered this word.

"Kill Qilin." Gao Yang smiled lightly and said his first words after this meeting.

For a moment, everyone looked at Gao Yang.

"That's right!" Jiuhan's eyes were bright, "The fulcrum is to kill Qilin!"

Douhu slapped his thigh: "Haha, it seems like nonsense, but it is actually the only answer."

"Fortunately, the boss still has some IQ, otherwise it would be a disaster." Dr. Jia was very pleased. He patted his butt and turned back to the house: "It's none of my business. I will continue my research."

"Brother Yang, my brain is not working well, can you tell us a little bit about it?" Old 7 looked at Gao Yang with admiration.

"Haha, brother, tell everyone about our tactics!" Wang Zikai pretended to be an insider, and everyone present smiled awkwardly but politely.

"Any tactics must be executed based on strategy." Gao Yang leaned forward, clasped his hands together, placed his chin, and looked at the burning bonfire: "Let's talk about strategy first."

"Dr. Jia is right. The situation tonight may be completely unexpected, but no matter how it changes, as long as the strategy is clear, there will be no chaos."

Gao Yang was not in a hurry to continue, giving everyone some time to digest.

Jiuhan, as his deputy, helped Gao Yang with additional explanations: "Let me give you an example, if we go there with the intention of rescuing people, but when we arrive at the scene and find that all the hostages are fake, or the hostages are already...then our rhythm will be disrupted. Very passive.”

"On the other hand, if we go there with other purposes and Qilin suddenly threatens us with hostages and forces us to surrender, then we will be very passive."

Everyone nodded one after another to express understanding.

Gao Yang continued: "So, killing Qilin is the only strategy we can formulate. No matter what situation greets us tonight, we will know what to do next."

"That's right! Strategy comes first, and tactics are ever-changing." Qu You was the coach of an e-sports club before awakening, and he suffered from occupational diseases:

"Tonight if we see Qilin, we will kill Qilin; if we don't see Qilin, we will retreat. If Qilin threatens us with hostages, we will still kill Qilin. If we kill Qilin, the hostages will be saved. If the hostages have met with something unexpected, then we will be more careful. If you want to kill Qilin, no matter what, just kill Qilin, and remain unchanged to cope with all changes."

"I understand what the captain means." Yishi looked worried and very pessimistic, "But the plan of killing Qilin and rescuing the hostages only exists in theory."
