Chapter 154: Why Keep Them Alive?

In Zhixin's line of sight was a man of iron, nearly 2 meters tall, wearing heavy black armor.

At a glance, this person did not look like a good guy!

"Who are you!"

In her fear, Zhixin erupted with all her strength, unexpectedly breaking free from Ye Cang's large hand, leaping directly to the side to stand and face Ye Cang.

Immediately, a Flame Sword was summoned by Zhixin.

Zhixin held the Flame Sword in one hand and clutched her abdomen with the other.

She stared at Ye Cang with a sharp gaze.

"Speak, what kind of person are you!"

"Looking at your attire, you wouldn't happen to be one of Karl's people, would you!"

According to the plot in the animation, at this moment Ye Cang absolutely must not explain; he should take out his Power Sword and start fighting Zhixin directly.

Fight until it's a matter of life and death, and only then explain his identity.

But!

This is not an animation!

Ye Cang took off his helmet and said expressionlessly, "I am the Huaxia Chief Engineer, Ye Cang."

"Breaking into my office and smashing my office window, it's only natural for me to throw you out, right!"

"Now, you are pointing a sword at me."

"Can I assume that you intend to go to war with me?"

After speaking, Ye Cang silently took out his Power Sword, but did not activate it immediately.

After hearing Ye Cang's words, Zhixin fell silent.

She clutched her abdomen and thought for a good while before silently putting down the Flame Sword.

"Ye Cang, Huaxia Chief Engineer, I have heard the Queen speak of you," Zhixin said slowly.

"You are a Main God, my apologies."

"I should not have broken into your office; I offer you my sincere apology!"

After speaking, Zhixin bowed to Ye Cang.

Ye Cang accepted it expressionlessly.

"Hmm, let's leave it at that for now," Ye Cang said as he removed his Power Armor, preparing to return to his office.

Because he had received news from the Four Great Legions.

They had returned!

He had no time to waste talking to Zhixin.

But just as he turned around, Zhixin blocked his path.

"Something the matter?" Ye Cang asked without lifting his head.

Zhixin nodded.

"Huaxia Main God, could you please tell me where the Spear of De Star, Zhao Xin, is?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang decisively refused.

"I don't know. I only know that Juxia was hit by a nuclear bomb; I don't know the specific situation. You can go look for yourself."

After speaking, Ye Cang walked directly into his office, ignoring Zhixin.

If this were before, Zhixin would definitely have chased after him to continue questioning.

But now, having just been severely beaten by Karl and having escaped death, she understood what the majesty of a Main God meant.

Even if a Main God were unremarkable, he was still a Main God after all; wouldn't killing a little Angel like her be simple?

Having learned her lesson, Zhixin bowed respectfully to Ye Cang's back, then spread her wings and wobbled away from there.

Back inside his office, Ye Cang shook his head as he watched Zhixin's retreating figure.

Zhixin had been protected too well and did not understand the malice of the human heart.

When she had threatened Karl before, how high-spirited she had been, ready to burn him at the slightest disagreement.

Now, after being hit hard by a shovel from Karl's subordinate Sinuo, she had become obedient.

How did that saying go?

Right, I remember now.

This shovel strike, curing arrogance and impatience!

Sure enough, the old Huaxia sayings are truly correct.

A young tree won't grow straight without pruning, and a person won't behave without a lesson!

Once they've been taught a lesson, everything is okay.

Waiting until Zhixin's figure disappeared, Ye Cang then withdrew his gaze.

He then tidied up the things on his desk.

Just as he finished tidying up.

The office door was pushed open, and the four commanders walked in, covered in blood.

"Chief Engineer! Mission accomplished!" Qing Long spoke first. "Most of the Taotie soldiers have been killed, leaving only a small number of survivors."

Upon hearing about survivors, Ye Cang did not quite understand.

"Hmm? Why leave survivors?"

"Didn't I say that they are invaders, so not a single survivor should be left? Leaving them behind is just a pure waste of food!"

"It would be best to turn them into fertilizer on the spot!"

"That would at least count as some contribution!"

As he spoke, Ye Cang had already furrowed his brows tightly.

Watching Ye Cang's current appearance, the four of them exchanged glances.

In the end, Qing Long was pushed forward by the others.

The reason was simple: everyone from Jinmen can talk, and they believed Qing Long would surely be able to persuade Ye Cang!

Little did they know, at this moment, Qing Long had already greeted the family members of Zhu Que, Xuan Wu, and Bai Hu in his heart.

Why did they have to push him forward!

No, don't!

And Ye Cang, looking at the Qing Long who had been pushed up, asked, "Explain yourself, Qing Long."

"What is the use of these living captives? Surely you don't expect them to do manual labor!"

"Could it be that you didn't see the robot construction teams rebuilding Tianhe City or the robot construction teams for the Industrial Revolution?"

Yes, the Fifth Industrial Revolution utilizes robot construction teams, the very same robot construction teams that built the Four Symbols Firmament.

After the Four Symbols Firmament was completed, Ye Cang performed maintenance on them, and once the firmament rose, he sent them directly to the Industrial Revolution.

Having heard Ye Cang's words, Qing Long was anxious and covered in sweat.

He looked back at his three comrades, hoping they could help him out.

As it turned out, those three turned their heads faster than anyone else.

Seeing this, Qing Long was on the verge of tears.

He could only stammer, "Chief... Chief Engineer, listen to my sophistry—no, that's not it, listen to me make something up—also not it."

"Listen to my explanation!"

This time, Qing Long finally said it right.

"Well, we kept a few to study; I heard the Taotie are some kind of beast-body, and if we study them, maybe..."

"Maybe..."

Watching Qing Long rack his brains to make up an excuse, Ye Cang shook his head.

There was no need to ask any further.

Of course, this sentence had no other meaning; it simply meant there was no need to ask.

As for the remaining Taotie soldiers, Ye Cang had already decided how to handle them from the very beginning of his questioning.

It was nothing more than dealing with them together with Suodun.

As for the specific plan, well, it can't really be said right now; it can only be said later.

"Alright, Qing Long, no need to explain." Ye Cang interrupted Qing Long, who was still racking his brains to explain.

"Do less acting on your own initiative in the future; I won't say much more about this time."

Ye Cang's words immediately made the eyes of Qing Long and the others light up.

"You all may go." Ye Cang said softly.

As his voice fell, the four of them quickly left the office.

Sitting alone in the office, Ye Cang sighed.

Actually, according to his original plan, he only intended to take action against Suodun, but now his own legion had brought back a pile of Taotie soldiers.

Anyway, herding one duck is the same as herding a whole flock.

Since that is the case, then do it all together.

It just so happens that the Taotie soldiers are beast-bodied, and their physical fitness is outrageously good, making them perfect for that.

However, before that, he needed to find the System he hadn't contacted in a long time.

"System, come out for a moment, help me unlock a portion of Forbidden Science."
