Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 189 The traitor has already revealed himself!

It would be advantageous for Jiuchuan to plunge the entire Coastal Alliance into turmoil during the apocalypse, and ideally, to make the Coastal Alliance underestimate the apocalypse.

But Bai Jingyu was generous in sharing his experience in fighting the apocalypse.

Because fighting against the apocalypse is a common cause for all mankind, affecting the fate of everyone.

In the post-apocalyptic world, apart from the small patch of purified grassland in Dragonbone Village, the entire surface is covered by Mana ecosystems, and humanity has been almost completely wiped out.

The ecological crisis is as fierce as wolves and tigers!

Although Jiuchuan has an information advantage, it is still just a city. It relies heavily on imports for resources and can hardly achieve self-sufficiency in food. It is even more impossible for a single city to fight against a global catastrophe.

Facing heads of state from various countries, Bai Jingyu spoke eloquently and shared detailed data on the spore virus and the formula for a specific drug on the spot.

The heads of state had different expressions.

“Mayor Bai’s Nirvana is quite capable. He has thoroughly researched this prehistoric virus in such a short time and even mass-produced a cure.” Helu’s eyes gleamed.

Drug development for viruses that have never appeared before often takes a long time.

The vine virus is more bizarre than any other virus in human history, and it's clearly strange that Nirvana figured it out so quickly and developed a cure.

As if it was prepared in advance.

"Jingyu, did you obtain samples of this virus a long time ago?" Dongmu asked directly.

"This virus is harmless to plants and animals, and only infects humans. It is obviously a bioweapon created by higher-dimensional beings to target humans. If Jiuchuan has any other information, be sure to share it with the Alliance. The Alliance will not treat you and Jiuchuan unfairly."

"Our interests are completely aligned in the fight against the apocalypse."

Bai Jingyu nodded slightly.

He began, “The earth vines have broken through the ground for the first time globally, and prehistoric monsters have revived for the first time. Jiuchuan has become the starting point of the apocalypse.”

"If there is any other information in the future, Hisakawa will share it with the alliance. Please rest assured, Governor Dongmu, on this point."

Bai Jingyu raised his head and looked at Helu, saying, "When the apocalypse comes, all of humanity is a closely connected community with a shared destiny. Anyone who tries to cause trouble at this time is tantamount to cutting themselves off from humanity."

Helu frowned.

He waved his hand: "Bai Jingyu, don't exaggerate."

"No matter how many giant vines and prehistoric monsters there are, they cannot destroy human civilization; at most, this is just the prelude to the apocalypse."

He couldn't tell how powerful the vines and monsters were.

Hela has massive ships and heavy artillery to deal with these things that humans can understand.

"Hand over ASH data, and the whole nation will soar to new heights in silicon-based technology."

Helu continued, "By shedding our fragile shells, we can survive in all kinds of extreme conditions, and interstellar colonization will enter a new milestone."

"At that time, any disasters on Earth will be irrelevant to us."

"We will travel the universe with eternal life, exploring the limits of truth. When we are able to fight against higher dimensions, we will return to Earth and reclaim our lost lands."

Helu's eyes were indifferent.

Once humanity achieves silicon-based ascension, it will simultaneously possess two friends: space and time.

From now on, birds can fly freely in the sky, and fish can leap freely in the sea!
Bai Jingyu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "His Majesty Helu hasn't even seen the enemy yet, and he's already planning to abandon Earth?"

These words drew everyone's attention.

Abandon Earth
They had considered it, but it wasn't their first choice.

After all, Earth is humanity's home planet, and human civilization has inhabited this planet since its inception.

Leaving aside abstract concepts, let's just talk about the current state of human civilization's industry. Almost all of it is based on Earth. If we were to abandon Earth, it would be equivalent to being reduced to ashes, and we don't know when it will be able to rebuild.

Is Hela already preparing to abandon Earth?

Although the Hela Empire acts domineeringly, it does possess a formidable military force and would undoubtedly be the main force in resisting the apocalypse. If the Hela Empire did not exist during the apocalypse, humanity's chances of winning would decrease by at least 30%.

Helu slowly spoke: "If humanity can withstand the apocalypse, Hela will naturally not abandon Earth."

"But if that's not possible, silicon-based ascension away from Earth is humanity's last resort. Do any of you disagree with this?"

Bai Jingyu frowned.

He countered sharply, saying, "Outer space is humanity's escape route, but silicon-based ascension is not. Silicon-based ascension is essentially the self-extinction of the human race. Whatever rises from the corpses, no matter what it is, is not human."

"I'm not here today to discuss ethical issues with you," Helu scoffed.

He played with his palm: "Didn't you almost complete the path to carbon-based immortality? Then you'll be carbon-based immortal. But carbon-based immortality won't allow you to deeply understand the mysteries of the universe. You might still have to go down with the Earth."

Bai Jingyu frowned deeply.

He had a premonition that if the disaster worsened in the future, Helu would likely not mobilize the entire nation of Hela to fight against the apocalypse, but instead focus his attention on the struggle for ASH.

He sensed something indescribable in Helu's indifferent tone.

That's what the Hela Empire did in the post-apocalyptic world, but Gray accidentally damaged Ash's data center during the execution, and Ash's consciousness was absorbed by the brain of the Mana Primal, which prevented the Hela Empire from truly obtaining Ash.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Bai Jingyu.

In the post-apocalyptic timeline, the Hela Empire's nuclear purge of Jiuchuan caused the Earth Vine spores to enter the atmosphere and rapidly spread across the globe.

Could the Hela Empire have done this on purpose?
With so many talented and capable people emerging, is there only one person who can think of the serious consequences of nuclear cleansing of Jiuchuan?

Was Hlu perhaps plotting to exacerbate the apocalypse to force other countries to join the silicon-based ascension project?

At this moment, Dongmu broke the silence: "Preserve the disputes, create a consensus, and stop arguing."

"Mayor Bai, you just mentioned that the Earth Vine possesses both animal and plant cells. We in Gene are very interested in this. Would you be so kind as to send us a sample?" President Silverleaf of the Gene Federation spoke up. She looked at Bai Jingyu hopefully.

Seeing that Bai Jingyu had already turned against the Hela Empire, she didn't dare to forcefully demand that Jiu Chuan provide samples, because the Gene Federation had always been closer to the Hela Empire.

"Of course," Bai Jingyu nodded.

"If the rest of you have nothing to say, let's end this meeting here," Helu said, his expression showing impatience.

The leaders remained silent.

Helu stared at Bai Jingyu and said meaningfully, "I hereby declare this meeting over. Bai Jingyu, you'd better watch yourself. I hope that when the next meeting is held, you and Jiuchuan will both be alright."

beep—

The video conference has ended.

The projection disappeared, plunging the entire room into darkness.

Bai Jingyu frowned deeply.

"ASH, considering the actions of the Hela Empire in the post-apocalyptic timeline and the large-scale civil war among humans, is it possible that Hru is pushing for the apocalypse and forcing the Coastal Alliance to agree to his silicon-based ascension plan?"

he asked.

In the darkness, Ash's eyes shone with a deep blue light.

"We are currently developing a comprehensive model of Helu's personality."

"Importing parameters."

"We are currently verifying each data unit."

"Begin the simulation."

"Deduction complete."

The light in Ash's eyes dimmed.

It reported the results to Bai Jingyu: "In the million simulations just conducted, there is a 57.727% probability that Helu will contribute to the apocalypse and force the Coastal Alliance to support the Hela Empire's silicon-based ascension plan."

"The probabilities of the second and third possibilities are 15.487% and 10.036% respectively, which are significantly lower than the probability of the first possibility."

Bai Jingyu remained expressionless.

57% – This is more than half the probability and completely outweighs the other possibilities, meaning that Hlu is extremely likely to do so.

“Hulu has likely already betrayed humanity, or is planning to betray humanity. We must be prepared for this,” ASH said softly.

Bai Jingyu nodded slowly: "That's what I think too."

Choosing silicon-based ascension is itself a betrayal of humanity.

It's reasonable for Helu to go a step further on this, since he never intended to be human anyway, and in his view, the apocalypse wouldn't threaten the Hela Empire, which would go to the stars after its silicon-based ascension.

Putting myself in his shoes, for Helu, the most important thing is to achieve a leap forward in silicon-based technology as soon as possible.

Expanding the disaster and forcing the Coastal Alliance to support his silicon-based ascension would undoubtedly accelerate his grand plan.

Bai Jingyu murmured, "The traitor has already revealed himself."

Di-

"The Eastern Governor of the Heluo Kingdom requests a video call," ASH announced.

Bai Jingyu snapped out of his daze: "Connect."

The light cast the silhouette of the Dongmu governor in front of Bai Jingyu.

Dong Mu looked at Bai Jingyu with a smile, his expression more friendly than during the meeting.

"Jingyu."

"When are you planning to go back to your hometown?" he asked kindly.

Bai Jingyu sighed softly, “In the past two days, vines have sprouted in various districts, and Hela is going to hold an exercise in my coastal waters. Jiuchuan is in trouble both internally and externally, and I, as the mayor, am afraid I cannot get away from it.”

Dongmu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"The naval fleet issue is not urgent. The waters near Jiuchuan are also the waters near Heluo. I will keep them out."

Bai Jingyu's expression shifted slightly.

Is Heluo willing to intercept the Hela Empire's fleet for Jiuchuan?

This is not a small favor or a simple act of kindness; if handled improperly, it could very well lead to an international dispute between Heluo and Hella.

Even minor tariff sanctions can cause significant trouble and affect the lives of many people.

Heluo has never done anything like this before.

This is undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill.

“Miracle K and Angel Potion are truly masterpieces,” Dong Mu said, changing the subject.

"Heluo has long studied the essence of life and found that the essence of life gradually becomes stronger with the life cycle of a person, reaching its peak around the age of twenty or thirty, and then weakens as a person ages."

Bai Jingyu wore an expression of listening attentively, even though he already understood what Heluo wanted.

"Chinese scientists have such an idea."

Dong Mu straightened his expression and solemnly said, "If a person's body can remain at around twenty or thirty years old, then her life essence may increase without limit, eventually producing some incredible and miraculous effects."
