Chapter 467

The Great Leader looked into Song Qi’s eyes, very much wanting to ask if Song Qi was joking.

But looking at Song Qi’s firm gaze, the words on the Great Leader’s lips were swallowed back down...

At this moment, the Great Leader was also caught in a deep struggle.

Believe in reason, or believe in Song Qi?

That was the question.

The room fell so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

After a long while, with a soft sigh from the Great Leader, the silence of the conference room was broken.

“Little Song...”

“I have understood the situation you described.”

“Next, I will dispatch troops to go and rescue the Desert Camel Country.”

“Take care of your health and go back to get some rest...”

“Rest?”

Song Qi hurriedly shook his head.

“Great Leader, Song Qi has one more presumptuous request, I hope you can agree...”

“Oh?”

The Great Leader’s voice rose slightly; from the time he had known Song Qi until now, this kid had never asked him for anything...

Since Song Qi had rendered such meritorious service, if he had any request, even if it were demanding, he, as the Great Leader, had to try his best to satisfy it!

Thinking of this, the Great Leader nodded and said with a smile.

“Feel free to say it!”

“Since you, Song Qi, have spoken, how could I have any reason not to agree?”

“Great Leader! I want to accompany the troops to the Desert Camel Country!”

“Hey! I thought it was something major, so it’s just...”

“Eh? Wait?”

The smile on the Great Leader’s face froze instantly.

“What did you just say?”

“Accompany the troops on an expedition? Song Qi, have you lost your mind?”

“No! Absolutely not!”

“You kid think this is going out on a government-funded vacation? This is damn war, people die!”

“Go stay somewhere cool!”

The Great Leader had never imagined that the request Song Qi would make would be this; he didn’t even think about it and refused directly!

Please?

How important is Song Qi to the Dragon Country?

He wouldn’t even let Song Qi be in danger if it meant he had to die himself!

And this kid Song Qi, having just barely clawed his way back from the gates of hell...

Turns around and wants to rush into the most dangerous battlefield on Blue Star!

Isn’t this just like lighting a lamp in a latrine—looking for death?

With this suicidal behavior of Song Qi’s, even the King of Hell would say ‘go ahead’!

At this moment, the military high command heard that Song Qi actually wanted to accompany the troops to the Desert Camel Country.

They also panicked.

They hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

“Little Song! You are still young! If there is something bothering you, you must tell your uncles; don’t always be looking for death! Your uncles can’t say much else, but in the Dragon Country, we still have a bit of influence! We can solve any problem for you!!”

“That’s right! Exactly! Major General Song, you are our Dragon Country’s undisputed national treasure; who knows how many scientific fields are waiting for you to make breakthroughs in! How can you go to such a dangerous place as the battlefield?”

“Correct! Furthermore, you have just recovered from a major illness; even if you go to the battlefield, you won’t be able to contribute much! It’s understandable for young people to have wild ideas, but Little Song, it’s better not to do things that are too dangerous! As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall!”

“Besides, Little Song, you don’t have any battlefield experience! Rushing into the battlefield like this is just handing over your head!”

“...”

The generals spoke all at once, but their words all had one meaning.

Song Qi!

Must absolutely not go to the battlefield!

A top-tier scientist like Song Qi is worth seventy armored divisions alone.

If something were to go wrong on the battlefield.

That would be a huge disaster!

On the side, the Great Leader, who had been very agitated, finally calmed down a little.

He looked into Song Qi’s eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

“Song Qi.”

“I know you; a person like you must have your own deep reasons for everything you do, and you wouldn’t act recklessly.”

“So, I want to hear your reasons for doing this...”

The Great Leader’s steady, powerful voice came through.

He was a political creature through and through; in his eyes, Song Qi was by no means just an outstanding junior.

In the Great Leader’s heart, Song Qi’s wisdom had reached a level that even he found incredibly significant.

Or rather, in the Great Leader’s heart, there was a trace of awe toward Song Qi.

Therefore, the Great Leader wanted to know what Song Qi was really thinking...

Song Qi looked at the Great Leader, and without any intention of hiding anything, he stated his thoughts openly.

“Report to the Great Leader and all the leaders!”

“Song Qi’s move is not an act of impulse!”

“If the Freedom Country’s domestic energy shortage is truly related to the creatures of the Servant Civilization... then I think the Freedom Country’s ultimate goal must be the rich oil fields of the Desert Camel Country!”

“Once the Desert Camel’s oil resources are seized, the speed at which that person from the Servant Civilization accumulates energy will surely become even more exaggerated!”

“If this continues, I fear that before our Dragon Country can defeat the Freedom Country, the extraterrestrial civilization’s ship will have already accumulated enough energy...”

“By then, what awaits Blue Star will be total annihilation!!!”

As Song Qi’s voice fell, the conference room fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone had their mouths wide open, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Only the Great Leader rested his chin on his hand, as if weighing the pros and cons.

“So...”

“You intend to go to the Desert Camel Country to look for clues about the collusion between the Freedom Country and the extraterrestrial civilization...”

“And ideally, find the exact landing spot of the Servant Civilization’s ship!”

“And finally, we launch a destructive strike against it?”

This time, Song Qi did not deny it, but nodded firmly.

The Great Leader looked at Song Qi’s determined eyes and continued to ask.

“But Song Qi, have you thought about the fact that the danger level of this move far exceeds your imagination...”

“Are you truly prepared?”

Even a fool would know that collusion with an extraterrestrial civilization is absolutely the most top-secret information of the Freedom Country.

For Song Qi to want to unearth clues could be said to be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

And with the viciousness of the Freedom Country, once they discovered that Song Qi knew this secret, the consequences would be unimaginable...

With Song Qi’s current status and prestige in the Dragon Country.

He could easily live off his past achievements for the rest of his life!

And no one would say anything about it...

Why must he shoulder the burden of the nation and live so exhaustingly?

After all, no one knew how much more energy the Servant Civilization’s ship still needed...

Even if the Great Leader didn’t say these words, Song Qi knew them clearly in his own heart.
