Chapter 467

~9 min read 1,654 words

After leaving the meeting room, Gao Wang unexpectedly saw Nie Ping actually standing in the corridor waiting for him.

Nie Ping merely didn't say anything more, just gave him a look full of deep meaning in his eyes, then walked off on his own.

At the same moment, Gao Wang's heart suddenly throbbed.

In the system interface, a private message lit up.

The message came from Chu An.

On the dim corridor, Gao Wang silently finished reading the message, and couldn't help but wryly smile to himself.

If it weren't for Chu An's status, he naturally wouldn't dare conceal the message, nor dare to defy orders.

After all, he is a soldier at heart, and he loves this country.

He is willing to obey orders, after all Lin An has nothing to do with him.

But Chu An's appearance gave him a new choice.

In Chu An's words, he Chu An is hardly not representing the Huaxia High Command.

(Join us... this isn't considered betrayal...)

(You know very well... it's time to pick a side...)

(Fire Seed Project... you know very well who I am, right..)

The incoming message included Wang Meng's information.

(Lin An... suspected three Fourth Rank! Not as weak as the rumors claim!)

Words alone are not proof.

Although the message came from Chu An, from Wang Meng, and from his own direct subordinates.

But Gao Wang, while hesitating, still dared not make a firm decision.

According to Chu An's meaning, Lin An is not an unstable factor outside the military, but rather a top-secret contingency plan.

He, Gao Wang, is thus a member selected to cooperate with the plan.

Upon first contacting the High Level's secrets, he only felt that for the first time in his life he was at a loss.

Even if Chu An is telling the truth, he also worries whether this is a struggle among several factions.

After all, the High Level's indication is too clear; obviously Chu An and his side are in a weak position.

Once the plan fails, or he is exposed...

No need to think; he has no doubt that he will be labeled a traitor by the victorious side and become a sacrificial pawn.

Such an outcome, he cannot accept no matter what.

In his contemplation, he hesitantly sent a reply message to Chu An:

"Even if I provide you with nuclear missile information, or cooperate with your operations."

"But the Capital Military Region still has the means to launch a nuclear strike; it's merely a matter of cost."

"Lin An's strength is three Fourth Rank... I don't think he has the capability to oppose the capital."

"Forgive my frankness, you belong to the neutral faction, right?"

"Moreover, Long'an Base has been hiding silently; wouldn't it be better for you to relocate to Linjiang? I can pretend I haven't found you."

From the heart, Gao Wang truly does not want to take part in factional strife; he even vaguely senses that a great change is coming.

Since joining any side is fine, why shouldn't I join the other two factions?

A wise bird chooses its tree to roost, especially since he himself is in the capital.

Three Fourth Rank... Sorry, I've never seen how strong a three Fourth Rank is, but I imagine it can't stand against the army.

Moreover, an individual's strength cannot oppose a "nation".

At least up to now, the suspected neutral factions Gao Wang has encountered all lack real authority.

In his unease, Chu An's message quickly came back:

"I will prove it to you."

"Three days."

"You will be glad you made this choice."

"Long An will establish its own side."

Looking at the returned message, Gao Wang's heart suddenly jolted.

What does Long'an Base mean by this? What does he Lin An intend to do?

If they really step forward to establish themselves, needless to say, the capital side will definitely spare no expense to wipe them out!

No one can stop this!

Three days...

Half-believing, half-doubting.

Gao Wang recalled Nie Ping's gaze full of deep meaning, and felt he could not quite see the situation clearly.

Lin An, or rather Long An, where does this confidence come from...

After warily scanning his surroundings, Gao Wang felt a chill run through his heart.

Without Chu An's status adding credibility, he simply wouldn't believe it!

Three days, huh...

Then I'll just drag it out for three days...

The capital's core area, military gathering zone.

Inside the room, Nie Ping's eyes drooped as if thinking about something, while his subordinate stood respectfully behind him.

He looked at the message sent in the private chat channel, lost in thought.

Chu An specially sent two items via the private chat function of the trade channel.

Warzone Broadcast Permit

【War Zone Broadcast Permit】

Meme Doll

【Meme Doll】

"Is this your confidence, your trump card...?"

「This is your confidence, your trump card... 」

"Lin An... or rather, Chu An..."

「Lin An... or rather, Chu An... 」

He muttered to himself.

They muttered to themselves.

Nie Ping let out a long breath, as if he had made up his mind.

Combined, they mean that Long'an Base has grasped a terrifying catastrophe-level weapon.

The combination means that Long'an Base has grasped a terrifyingly powerful catastrophe-level weapon.

He could imagine that once the capital side launches an attack on Long'an Base...

He could imagine that, once the capital side launches an attack on Long'an Base.

The retaliation would be what...

What will be the counterattack against it..

His gaze stared blankly.

His gaze was stunned.

Nie Ping looked at the message Chu An and he had sent, his eyes full of solemnity.

Nie Ping looked at the message Chu An and he had sent, his eyes full of solemnity.

"What exactly has Lin An done... to make you, Chu An, so certain that he is hope...?"

「What exactly has Lin An done... that makes you, Chu An, so convinced he is the hope... 」

Although I feel Chu An is a bit too rash, everything seems a bit off.

Although he feels Chu An is a bit too arbitrary, everything seems a bit suspicious.

But Nie Ping still chose to believe.

After all, Chu An's actions also count as leaving a thread of hope.

Essentially, it has no impact on his idea of the big picture.

Well then... let's give it a try...

After hesitating a moment, Nie Ping turned his head to look at the subordinate officer and said calmly:

After hesitating for a moment, Nie Ping turned his head to look at the subordinate officer, and calmly ordered:

"\"Pull back part of the Imperial Guard and release that child... \"

"\"By the way, also warn those corrupt insects, have them restrain themselves. \"

The officer standing behind him heard this and was stunned, his eyes full of shock:

Nie Ping raised his hand to stop his words, decisively:

"\"They brought this upon themselves, they created the meme incident, it should be up to them to resolve it. \"

「The karma they created themselves, the meme incident they caused, should originally be resolved by them themselves. »

"\"How? Are their lives more precious than ordinary people's? More precious than soldiers'? \"

「How? Are their lives more precious than ordinary people's? More precious than soldiers'? »

"\"Dragging this out is simply the stupidest thing to do! \"

「Dragging it on is simply the stupidest approach! »

"\"If we keep delaying, that child will completely break free of the seal! By then, it won't be just a few little bastards dying! \"

"If we keep dragging it on, that child will completely break free of the seal! By then, it won't just be those little brats who die!"

Full of resentment.

Nie Ping gazed solemnly at an empty spot in the inner city.
