Chapter 11: I Will Cancel It

After Ye Cang finished speaking, he did not give Du Kaao and Huang Lao a chance to speak, instead using his brainwaves to control the Zhizi. Modified to project an image in the reception room.

"The two of you, take a look at this projected video!" Ye Cang said.

After hearing this, Du Kaao and Huang Lao turned their heads to look at the projection.

When they saw the projection, both of them frowned in unison.

This projected video was exactly the footage from the first Taotie invasion.

In the video, one could see several people wearing black armor with their faces obscured, hovering in the air while standing on airship-style flight devices.

Surrounding them were a group of soldiers holding weapons, firing at them.

However, the people in black armor flew at extremely high speeds, and the soldiers' bullets could not hit them at all; even if they did hit, they only sparked a few embers.

It was fundamentally impossible to inflict effective damage on them.

Just then, the people in black armor who were constantly hovering in the air suddenly extended their arms, and the next second, purple energy beams poured down.

This caused massive casualties to the soldiers, and one female police officer was even struck directly through the chest by the energy beam.

Immediately after, the video ended.

"I believe the two of you have already recognized it; this video is the footage from one week ago, when aliens attacked the airport in the Feiliu District of Juxia City."

"I heard you call these aliens Taotie?"

"Then I shall call them Taotie as well!"

Ye Cang said to the two of them.

"I would like to ask the two of you, when the Taotie attacked Juxia City, where were the Super Soldiers you speak of!"

"Why didn't they come to provide support! Why were the only ones fighting the Taotie to the death ordinary soldiers and police officers!"

"Why!"

By the end, Ye Cang was almost roaring.

Seeing Ye Cang's agitated state, the two hurriedly spoke up to explain.

The first to speak was Du Kaao.

"Ye Cang, I know you are heartbroken, but you must understand! Super Soldiers need time to grow!" Du Kaao said, "Once the Super Soldiers have grown, such things will not happen again!"

Huang Lao also nodded.

"Old Du is right, Little Ye."

"Regarding the soldiers who sacrificed themselves in that incident, I express my deepest regrets, and at the same time, I express our gratitude to them."

"They were all iron-willed, good men! I will..."

Before Huang Lao could finish his sentence, Ye Cang interrupted him without any courtesy.

"Enough, now that the people are dead, what is the point of saying these pretty words!"

"I tell you, they didn't have to sacrifice themselves! My Nantianmen Project could have handled it completely; the Luan Bird could have been used for support, and the White Emperor Fighter could have conducted ultra-low-altitude combat to draw fire!"

"Then, the Chengying Unmanned Tactical Mecha would have conducted saturation fire strikes!"

"A mere few Taotie could have been wiped out without any losses!"

"Do you know that!"

After saying all this in one breath, Ye Cang let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, but at that time, the Nantianmen Project was just a plan."

After finishing, Ye Cang stopped speaking.

However, after hearing these words, Du Kaao was not left speechless.

"Ye Cang, just as you said yourself, pretty words have no meaning."

"The technology of the Taotie civilization is far beyond Earth's technology; how do you know your Nantianmen Project would definitely have been useful!"

"If it were useless, you, Ye Cang, would just be a researcher who loves to boast!"

Ye Cang had long anticipated that Du Kaao would say this.

Ye Cang gave a cold smile.

"Oh, so General Du Kaao means that if my Nantianmen Project were useless against the Taotie, and the Super Soldiers had not yet grown up..."

"Using the lives of soldiers to pile up a defense is the most effective way!"

At this point, Ye Cang stood up abruptly and slammed his hand on the table!

"So, General Du Kaao, the lives of Huaxia soldiers are just that unimportant in your eyes; they deserve to die, is that it!"

As soon as these words were out.

A thought simultaneously surfaced in the minds of Du Kaao and Huang Lao.

Oh no! We've fallen into Ye Cang's linguistic trap!

After saying this, Ye Cang did not stop, but continued: "Fine, fine, fine!"

"General Du Kaao, you have truly taught me a lesson; I didn't expect this, I really didn't expect this!"

"Since that is the case, then I, Ye Cang, have nothing more to say. If you want to cancel the Nantianmen Project, then it shall be as you wish."

"Anyway, the lives of Huaxia soldiers are not lives at all; since that is the case, my Nantianmen Project naturally has no reason to exist."

"Do as you please..."

After finishing, Ye Cang slumped onto the sofa, let out a long sigh, and covered his forehead.

Although Ye Cang had now taken the initiative to cancel the Nantianmen Project, Du Kaao could not feel happy.

If today's conversation with Ye Cang were to spread, he would bear an eternal infamy.

Such a consequence was simply unimaginable.

That detestable Ye Cang, how could he be so sharp-tongued! With just a few words, he had successfully twisted his meaning.

That was not what he meant at all!

He respects life!

Thinking of this, a layer of fine cold sweat had already appeared on Du Kaao's forehead.

"Huang Lao..."

Du Kaao mouthed a call toward Huang Lao.

And Huang Lao understood immediately.

"Well, little Ye, you've misunderstood old Du; little Du didn't mean it like that!" Huang Lao said hurriedly, "Old Du is also a warrior of Huaxia!"

"How could he possibly have such thoughts!"

"What he meant was, if your Nantianmen Project is useless, wouldn't that cause even greater losses!"

After hearing this, Ye Cang replied without even raising his head: "Oh."

"Huang Lao, let me ask you a question: at the current stage, what can withstand a nuclear bomb?"

"You must know that the foundation of the Nantianmen Project is based on Controlled Nuclear Fusion; once we can't beat the Taotie, we can completely self-destruct!"

"No living being can withstand a nuclear explosion! And don't talk to me about nuclear explosions causing pollution; what you're talking about is nuclear fission."

"Although Controlled Nuclear Fusion also has radiation, it is safe and controllable, and the radiation vanishes in an instant."

"Honestly, if a machine is destroyed, it can be rebuilt, but human lives... sigh...!"

Speaking of this, Ye Cang sighed deeply again.

"My Nantianmen Project is meant to ensure the safety of ordinary soldiers, so that when things happen, we can provide support at the first opportunity and reduce casualties."

"But now, everything has lost its meaning."

After finishing, Ye Cang stood up and made a move to leave the reception room.

Seeing that Ye Cang was about to leave, Du Kaao and Huang Lao hurriedly stopped him.

If they let Ye Cang leave at this moment, it would probably turn the world upside down!

They absolutely could not let him go!

And Ye Cang, looking at Du Kaao and Huang Lao who were blocking him, did not have much of a reaction, only saying: "You two, you win."

"I don't want to say any more unnecessary words; that's how it is."

"I will cancel the Nantianmen Project."
