We are from the future ark

"Just let her... let herself die like this. I believe that within half an hour, she will die from the hallucinations. Just die peacefully like this."

"…It may be a little painful, but this is enough. May her soul rest in peace."

After saying that, Chen Qi didn't want to say anything more. He pulled Lindong and Zhenli and slowly left. Gumi, who was standing aside, seemed to want to say something to Zaolu after a moment of hesitation, but couldn't say it. He turned around and left.

On the other side, Zao Lu had been lying there with his head down for who knows how long before he slowly raised his head.

The next moment, she slowly picked up the axe on the ground, dragged the axe, and slowly walked to the girl's side.

"...I'm sorry." Two lines of tears slowly flowed from the corners of Zaolu's eyes. With deep powerlessness and compassion, Zaolu murmured:

"May you... rest in peace."

“Hoo——” “Puff——!”

There was a sound of something breaking through the air, followed by the sound of something gushing out, and everything returned to complete calm...

……

"Mr. Chen Qi, you did this on purpose, right?"

But at this moment, Zhenli suddenly broke the silence and asked the silent Chen Qi.

On the other side, Lin Dong and Gu Mi slowly came back to their senses after hearing what was said. They looked up at Chen Qi, whose expression remained unchanged, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"...Zhaolu, she is not firm enough. She has illusions about some things in this world."

However, Chen Qi only said calmly after hearing this: "Many of her concepts need to be broken. I think she should be able to feel a lot of things from what happened today. I also believe that she can understand a lot of things."

“——There are some things that you shouldn’t have illusions about. When they are broken, you should understand that we need to use our own hands to create a better world.”

"Many things in this world are already rotten enough. In order to prevent such suffering from continuing for any longer, we need to be more resolute and end it all faster."

"..."

Chen Qi's words made Lin Dong and the other two slowly fall silent. However, some seeds were planted in their hearts at this moment. The three of them seemed to have something and began to change quietly.

This is a true transformation, and also a true determination... Let this continent be more away from war and pain, sin and destruction, and it should come to an end...

Chapter 196: Firm stance, dissipated cooperation

Chen Qi and his group returned to Mo City again. It’s not that they wanted to go back, but they had to go back.

After all, the personnel were given to them by Nikolai, the Emperor of Ursus, and they and Nikolai are now in a cooperative relationship in a sense, because Markolov is not dead. Therefore, their goal has not been achieved, and they still need to cooperate to defeat the threat of Markolov.

Therefore, after completing the survey here, Chen Qi and his team still need to report briefly to Nikola.

"Well... I think I already know it."

In the palace, facing Chen Qi's report, Nicholas was not surprised at all, and said lightly:

"You did the right thing. There are basically no living people in the area attacked by white phosphorus bombs. Even if there are, most of the teams we sent to investigate will kill the remaining survivor on their own."

"…There shouldn't be any survivors in a place destroyed by white phosphorus bombs. If there is a survivor who is rescued, she will be reported by all major media outlets. By then, she will be driven crazy sooner or later. It's better to just get married."

Obviously, what Chen Qi said about his experience in that village made Nikola feel very empathetic. The emperor of Ursus, the holder of the highest power in Ursus, was a little sad at this moment, as if he was thinking of some sad things in the past.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little dull. In the end, it was Nicholas, who turned his back to Chen Qi, who broke the silence first.

"...Xiao Chen, I remember you said...you want to end the strife on this continent, right?"

"...Why do you suddenly ask this?" Chen Qi frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, but he still asked this question at this moment.

"The conflicts on the continent will not cease, just as the conflicts among humans will not disappear."

"As long as humans exist, it will be impossible to completely end war. War will always exist. As long as humans exist..."

"...I know." Chen Qi's pupils dimmed for a moment, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said lightly:

"I once wanted to end all wars and all conflicts. I thought that as long as the Originium disease in the world could be controlled, the conflicts and persecutions in this world would be reduced."

"…However, it turns out that I was wrong."

"Originium disease is just an excuse, a reason, a fuse for war. Even if there is no Originium disease, humans will still invade and fight each other for various other reasons..."

"——Gradually, I gave up trying to change anything. I just hope to keep everything under control within an adjustable range and reduce casualties to a minimum."

"You are quite right." Nicholas nodded when he heard this. As the emperor of Ursus, he saw things more distantly than Chen Qi in many aspects. Although he and Chen Qi shared the same views in many aspects, he had completely different opinions from Chen Qi on some things.

Chen Qi hopes to stop the disputes as much as possible, but Nicholas believes that disputes will break out sooner or later. In this case, why not gain greater benefits for Ursus from each dispute?

If one day Ursus can dominate the Terra continent, then everyone will be concerned about the threat from Ursus. At that time, everyone will maintain relative peace in order to prevent Ursus from continuing to expand, and thus the war will be reduced.

This will certainly put Ursus in a dilemma, but there will always be someone on the Terra continent who will stand up and become the "big boss" that everyone expects. Since Yan Country does not choose to stand up, why not take this opportunity to allow Ursus to achieve unprecedented development?

Nicholas thought so. He was the emperor of Ursus, and all his interests were considered in the interests of the royal family and the Ursus Empire. To some extent, he was as extreme as Makarov, but the difference was that Nicholas put the country first, while Makarov put race first.

It should be said that almost every king or emperor, to some extent, puts the country first. It is difficult for a king or emperor who does not put his country first to stand in that position. The higher the position, the more determined they are in their stance.

"Why don't we join forces to create a better era."

Nicholas turned around and looked at Chen Qi. This time, his recruitment was more formal than any previous time. He slowly stepped down from the throne, staring at Chen Qi with his eyes fixedly, and said:

"Follow me, and I will make you Prime Minister, Grand Marshal, Duke - except for the throne, no matter what position and wealth you choose, I can help you achieve it."

"I promise that as long as you and your forces are loyal, I will properly accommodate each of you and you will all be treated well."

"I can cancel the regulations against the infected people in Ursus, and even give them preferential treatment. I can even promise that if you sincerely serve Ursus, I can give you the title of Regent."

This time, Nicholas's stakes were bigger than any other time before, and it could be said to be unprecedented. He even promised a position like the regent, so it was obvious that Nicholas had invested a lot of money.

The chips he offered were indeed very generous, so generous that even Chen Qi had to hesitate.

Indeed, if the Rhodes Island Sea and the Integration Movement could join Ursus, then there would be no doubt that they would be completely relieved. The strength of Ursus has made the entire continent excited, and it is undoubtedly the most powerful country in terms of military strength.

Moreover, this cooperation with the Ursus Emperor Nicholas also allowed Chen Qi to see the tip of the iceberg of Ursus's strength. Just the nearly 100 Ursus "Emperor's Inner Guards" made Chen Qi tremble.

This is undoubtedly the strongest force, and Ursus's foundation makes it worthy of being a powerful country.

however……

"—I'm so sorry, Nikolai."

Chen Qi's eyes flashed with firm conviction, and he said to Nicholas word by word: "Like you, I am very firm in our own position."

"We are the kind of people who will never betray the people behind us. If I choose to follow you, I will be sorry for those who support me behind me."

"Your bargaining chips are very generous, so generous that if I were alone, I would undoubtedly be loyal to you - but I can't do that."

"I am not just fighting for the infected people in Ursus. Standing behind me are not only the infected people, but also the non-infected people. The long-cherished wish of so many people in the entire Terra continent."

"…I can't let them down."

After that, Chen Qi looked directly into Nicholas's disappointed eyes, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said to Nicholas:

"Nikola... this may be the last time I call you that."

"Here's a piece of advice for you. Maybe you think this is ridiculous."

"——The Ursus Empire will eventually fall. Maybe it won't be like this in your hands, but the next generation and the next generation may not all have wise rulers like you."

"If you really want the Ursus Empire to last longer, then try to persecute and oppress less. Then, at least, this dynasty that is doomed to fail may not be destroyed in your hands."

"Goodbye...Nikola, the wise ruler of Ursus."

Chen Qi couldn't help but admire sincerely that Nikola was indeed a wise ruler of Ursus.

Although without him, Nikolai might be manipulated by Makorov, but the facts proved that Nikolai had already done his best for the Ursus Empire.

He has never done anything wrong to the Ursus Empire or even the people of Ursus.

The next moment, Chen Qi's figure completely disappeared in the palace. The palace fell into silence again, and Nicholas also fell into a long silence.

"…Your Majesty, do we need to chase after him?"

"……No."

Facing the internal guards who appeared quietly beside him, the rather tired Nicholas sighed slowly and did not give any orders.

"Pass on my order. First, do your best to hunt down Makolov... and then make other plans."

Chapter 197: How to stop ancient weapons?

Ursus's reaction was actually not important to Chen Qi and his group. After making the decision, they left the Ursus area and returned to Rhodes Island... Oh, in the direction of "Avalon".

At this moment, Rhodes Island has officially merged with Chernobog's integration movement and was called "Avalon". This news was not concealed too much and soon spread internationally.

As an international pharmaceutical company, especially one that specializes in medical assistance related to Originium disease, Rhodes Island has attracted international attention from the beginning. Otherwise, the news that they repelled the Ursus Legion would not have spread so quickly.

As for the outside world, Rhodes Island has now driven into Chernobog and completely taken over the control of Chernobog. For them, there is no doubt that Rhodes Island is still the dominant one in Chernobog. Therefore, many people in the outside world still call the newly born "Avalon" "Rhodes Island".

Although the former leader of Rhodes Island, Amiya, suddenly stepped down and the new leader was promoted to a little-known person, it had no impact on the outside world. After all, they did not need to know who the leader of Rhodes Island was.

However, the merger of Rhodes Island and the Integration Movement still attracted considerable attention, and some countries that originally did not care about Rhodes Island also began to pay attention to it.

The power of Rhodes Island plus the Integration Movement... has reached the point where it can threaten any country on this continent. If Rhodes Island and the Integration Movement did not have enough qualifications to negotiate with other forces and countries at the beginning, then now, the newly born "Avalon" has posed a threat to most countries on this continent.

The fighting power of Reunion and Rhodes Island is obvious to all. The combination of the two can even repel the invincible Ursus Legion. Now that the two are combined and managed together, the threat they pose... is really something that cannot be ignored.

Now, Chen Qi and his group, who had withdrawn from Ursus, have returned to "Avalon", but they cannot relax their vigilance yet. The threat has not been eliminated, and Markolov... has not been killed yet.

As long as Markorov is alive, this huge threat will always exist. Moreover, he knows the secrets about ancient weapons. Once he can master the use of ancient weapons again... the Terra continent will be really threatened.

"What exactly are these ancient weapons?"

In the Avalon area, Chen Qi summoned all the upper echelons of Avalon. The first one who showed doubts about his words was Kal'tsit.

Chen Qi’s words had already made the seriousness of the situation clear, however, Kal’tsit seemed a little confused about the concept of “ancient weapons”.

The continent of Tili has a serious historical gap regarding some past events. Although they don’t know what the “original people” of the past experienced to lead to the current continent of Tiara, they have never stopped exploring the “ancient times”.

Kal'tsit knew that the so-called ancient technology was not actually inferior to that of the current Terra. In some aspects, it was even more advanced than that of the current Terra, such as weapons.

Ancient weapons are always a topic worth exploring. Countless people have embarked on a journey to find out whether there are weapons from ancient times that still exist today in the past hundred years due to technological gaps. Perhaps these weapons can help them dig out the tip of the iceberg about the past era.

But now, Chen Qi showed great fear of these ancient weapons, which aroused Kal'tsit's curiosity.

"Ancient weapons... are one of the three highest authorities of the chip in my mind." Chen Qi's expression was extremely serious. When he mentioned those hidden ancient weapons, his expression was so serious.

"One of the highest permissions is the prototype of the potion for curing Originium disease that you left in my mind. If nothing unexpected happens, this technology will be completely cracked by Rhodes Island within the next six years, and the relevant potion will be developed."

"As for the other one, it is related to something even more ancient, so we won't discuss it for now."

"And the highest authority... Strictly speaking, I discovered it myself later. The future Markov also knew this secret. It was through him that I learned about the ancient weapons."

"Unfortunately... I was unable to stop the use of these ancient weapons at the time, and by the time I realized what was happening, it was already too late."

"I don't know how to describe that ancient weapon. I can only say that it has a destructive power that even we today cannot understand. If all of these ancient weapons were fired, even the entire Terra continent would be completely washed away."

"This is a... horrific weapon that can destroy everything we have, and even turn the Terra continent back to prehistoric times. We must not let a madman like Markorov master the use of this weapon."

"It's so serious..."

Everyone knew that Chen Qi's description was not an exaggeration. Chen Qi's evaluation was always objective. Moreover, he was the only one present who had witnessed the power of that ancient weapon. If he was so terrified, how could Kal'tsit and the others not tremble?

"In that case... then this guy must not be allowed to stay."

Tallulah on the side also realized the seriousness of the matter, and said seriously: "Then, we find his location, and then we will attack with all our strength—"

"That's the problem." Chen Qi shook his head and said anxiously:

"It's not difficult to find Markorov's location. The difficulty lies in that if we don't take action, it's fine. Once we take action, we must not give him any time to react. If he activates the ancient weapon again in a hurry, it will not only bring a devastating blow to us, but also to this continent."

"This is a force powerful enough to penetrate the entire continent. I dare not take this as a bet."

"We must streamline our personnel as much as possible - we may not even be able to send out all the members of Noah's team. We need to find out where this guy is hiding and launch a fierce surprise attack on him without him noticing. We have to wait until he is completely unable to react and doesn't even have time to detonate the ancient weapon."

"But now... can our power... do it?"

"..."

For a moment, the conference room fell into silence, and everyone showed a little hesitation because of this harsh condition.

Who on earth...can do this?

Just judging from the people present here, no one can do it. How can they launch a raid on Markov's hiding place completely silently?

However, at this moment, a figure slowly left silently. Even Chen Qi's mental connection lost its function at this moment. He himself did not realize that his connection with this person was cut off quietly.

At this moment, that figure slowly disappeared from the spot. It seemed that she had made up her mind...
