Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 582 The Bizarre Situation

"The United States firmly denies our accusations... Specific opinions and investigative proposals are still being exchanged."

"The results of our Mechanical Dragons this month are as above... Apart from Alexander, Luo Gandao, and Zhao Yingkong fighting in the arena, the performance of the other Mechanical Dragons in the gladiatorial combat is still at a relatively mediocre level, with wins and losses on both sides."

"New talents have been recruited from the Eastern Theater Command and will be included in the Central Federation training system for specialized training. The list is as above..."

The meeting concluded that the advantages of the Allied talent training systems were clearly evident, but there was still a desire for more top-tier talents like Logandau to emerge...

"The United States' best mechanical dragon this quarter is still Achilles..."

"The missing promising newcomer Zheng Zha is still being searched in the area where the accident occurred... We have lodged a protest with the United States, demanding that a search be conducted for Zheng Zha's whereabouts."

"Reports indicate that there are significant changes in the seawater and marine life near the accident site, and the specific circumstances are still under investigation..."

"The meeting instructed Alexander, Logandao, and Zhao Yingkong to intensify their training and achieve results in line with their expected strength in the upcoming offensive gladiatorial combat against Alaska..."

Hearing this, Alexander finally couldn't help but sigh, wanting to curse that this communication was such a waste of time. What were the higher-ups thinking? Were they issuing instructions, or were they going to reveal information about Zheng Zha? Would saying all this help them find Zheng Zha?
However, given Alexei's equally unpleasant expression, Alexander refrained from launching into a tirade during the relay phase.

Luo Gandao sat expressionless in his chair, as if none of this concerned him... In fact, it did concern him, which was why he wore that expression.

Good heavens, didn't we agree to take care of those cognitive interference satellites? Why are they still ignoring Mu Xiang's disappearance? And Zheng Zha, you're only getting anxious now. When Zheng Zha disappeared halfway back, you didn't react at all!

How the hell did they not say anything after getting off the plane, but then report to the Allies that they had lost Zheng Zha?

Zhang Jie, what are you trying to do? Next time you contact me, could you go over the script with me? I'm clearly a participant, but why do I feel like I've traveled through the wrong timeline?

A flurry of thoughts raced through Luo Gandao's mind. To be honest, he wasn't someone who could handle pressure very well... Looking back, if he hadn't already gotten used to piloting mechs, he definitely would have refused if suddenly asked to go out and fight to the death. If he were asked to do anything more dangerous, he probably would have impulsively argued with the person who gave the order.

Let's not talk about how the leaders view him. Luo Gandao is a bit abnormal in this regard. His first reaction is probably to do whatever it takes to survive... Of course, if the leaders have the ability to get rid of him, like Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha, then that's a different story.

The current situation is that Luo Gandao doesn't need to put himself in danger... Zhang Jie still left him with the protection of telekinesis, enough to deal with any threat, so he only needs to go out and fight a few gladiatorial battles. And to put it bluntly, with Luo Gandao's strength, he won't encounter any fatal danger.

After the three battles in Australia, the strongest opponent Luo Gandao encountered, the self-proclaimed second-best mechanical dragon in the United States, only managed to sever the left arm of his aircraft… at the cost of having his cockpit torn out. But Luo Gandao always felt that his mission was too difficult… While he wasn't as straightforward as he appeared, calling him cunning was far from accurate. Having spent so much time in this world and witnessed the methods of the Central Continent Team, Luo Gandao found himself stuck in a rut, unable to move forward or backward.

It might fool ordinary people, but it's too easy for seasoned shrewd people...

Logan had to admit that he found it difficult to react correctly to all sorts of information that he knew was problematic in such a bizarre situation... Alexander was always in a bad mood after learning of Zheng Zha's disappearance, and he would often get anxious when he heard these latest (but no real progress) news.

But Luo Gandao couldn't do that. He knew Zheng Zha was alive and kicking, and he didn't believe that Zheng Zha could be threatened by anything in this world. Why was he in such a hurry? He could only try his best to control his expression and remain expressionless like Zhao Yingkong.

Zhao Ying sat in the seat furthest from Alexei, her expression unreadable. However, Luo Gandao guessed she wasn't interested in these matters either; being called over to hear opinions was merely a way of playing her part.

"Zhang Jie said that I would answer all questions... Could it be that he will gradually break free from the mind control over them over time?" Luo Gandao's mind was filled with wild thoughts. He couldn't distinguish between these abilities, so he just called them mind control.

Alexei reached out and pressed the button to shut down the floating screen that was playing the video, then said, "That's all the information we have for now... To be honest, I'm quite dissatisfied with it too."

Alexander's lips twitched, but he held back the swear word that was about to come out: "That's right, you don't look good either."

"These actions by the United States are a complete violation of the peace treaty of the past fifty years... The Allies will make them pay the price," Alexei said calmly. "If necessary, we will also exert pressure on them through the security forces in the border areas..."

Hearing this, Alexander relaxed his brow in relief: "That's good. Damn it, we can't just allow them to use mechs in military operations but not us, can we? I'm going to teach them what real military mechs are!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Gandao's heart stirred. With the Deep Network and the Cognitive Jamming Satellite destroyed, the Tribunal's rule over Earth had essentially collapsed. Originally, the best course of action for them would have been to wait for the Celestials to arrive while simultaneously letting the Allies and the United States fight amongst themselves.

While Earthlings are merely breeding material to the Celestials… if they were to cause chaos, their immediate priority would be to shut off the stability-maintaining switch, plunging Earthlings into more intense internal strife. After all, that wouldn't threaten the Deep Network; they could simply wait for the Celestials to arrive and then rebuild order with overwhelming force.

However, after the Allied cognitive jamming satellites were destroyed, the Tribunal could not directly control them through the deep network to force the Allies to go to war with the United States. If the United States' own strength were to be controlled and forced into war, it would probably collapse quickly, which would be a loss for the Tribunal.

But judging from Alexei's words, the Allies will also demonstrate their power... Freed from cognitive interference, although they haven't fully realized the strangeness of Earth's order, they have begun to act with normal logic.

However, the Allied powers' radicalization was exactly what the tribunal wanted, wasn't it?
"What should I do? I feel like I can't have a normal gladiator fight with the strongest in the United States anymore..." Logan sat upright, thinking helplessly.
