"With my strength, thereâs no need to lie."
"In fact, if there wasnât a place where I need your help, I wouldnât waste time meeting with you, because your strength in front of me is nothing worth mentioning!"
Chu Xiuâs words made everyone present show complex expressions. They were usually heroes respected in the base, yet they were so looked down upon by Chu Xiu. However, they also knew that what he said was entirely true; the disparity in power between the two sides was too vast!
Among the people, the highest Level was only the Level 7 King Tier Saintess, but she was a Mechanician with inherently weak close combat Block ability, naturally having no power to resist.
In the end, it was Aurora who calmed down first and said, "Sir, you said you are here to ârescueâ us, but this shouldnât be the way to ârescue,â right?"
Chu Xiu revealed a smile, raised his hand, and all the black hands binding everyone collapsed into common black mist.
"As I said before, there are places where I need your help."
"I ask you to forgive me, because time is pressing, this was the fastest way for you to trust me, and I also believe that you wouldnât bother with this slight discourtesy when faced with life and death?"
Chu Xiuâs words made everyone look considerably better. Although some still showed dissatisfaction, none dared to act out.
Aurora said, "Sir, with such strong power, I really canât understand how we could help you."
"Itâs simple, because even I canât confront the Blood Demon Army head-on," Chu Xiu said.
His words made everyoneâs faces change again.
Even such a powerful being canât stop the Blood Demon Army?
"This is because, besides the Blood Demon itself and its subordinates, they also have additional support."
Next, Chu Xiu revealed the matter of the Alien Civilization Envoy and the Slaughter Mode without any reservations.
Those present were elites among humans, and there was no point in unnecessary concealment and deceit with them, which would only lead to suspicion.
Of course, Chu Xiu omitted the information about everyoneâs deaths; saying it would only affect morale, so it was entirely unnecessary.
The information thrown out by Chu Xiu left everyone shocked and speechless.
Aurora, with an extremely solemn expression, confirmed: "You mean, in thirty days, we will face over a hundred million Blood Demon Army, a Heroic Spirit Level Blood Demon, and a full four hundred and sixty-five powerful King Tiers?"
"This is a conservative estimate," Chu Xiu said calmly, "We also need to consider the buff provided by the expanding Sea of Blood, and in the depths of the sea, possibly more powerful creatures exist. Itâs not surprising if two or three more Heroic Spirit Level monsters appear."
These words made everyone present show nearly desperate expressions.
The largest Blood Demon tide they had experienced was far less than one percent of this scale, and even that was an unimaginable bitter battle causing significant losses to the base.
And this didnât consider the presence of a strong Heroic Spirit Level entity on the other side!
If a fight truly broke out, a single Heroic Spirit could destroy their entire base!
Whatâs the point of fighting?
Aurora smiled wryly, "I originally thought Mr. Chu, your request for us was to use our baseâs defense system, but if the enemy truly reaches the scale you mentioned, even if our Fire Cannons were a hundred times more, itâs absolutely impossible to hold them back."
"Do you perhaps think thereâs nuclear weaponry hidden in our base?"
After some thought, Aurora came up with the only possibility.
However, Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Iâve already scanned your base, naturally knowing you only have a few unusable abandoned warheads."
"Then I must say, we should start organizing an escape now," Aurora said.
"I advise against that idea," Chu Xiu said, "You couldnât possibly run faster than the Blood Demons, and theyâve already been continuously arriving nearby. Once you leave the baseâs modern weapon defense line, youâll die faster than anyone."
After speaking, Chu Xiu glanced at everyone and smiled, "However, if you donât care about the civilians, General Tier Awakened might have a chance to escape."
These words made everyoneâs expressions change unpredictably.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the conference roomâs long table was knocked, and the big man with a giant axe said, "Mr. Chu, you donât have to test us anymore. We are not fools. Naturally, we know that even if we escape, itâs just a struggle for survival.
"Even if I am to die, I, Zhuo Ao, will die fighting to protect my family, not in the endless pursuit and despair of the Blood Demons!"
Zhuo Aoâs words led to a chorus of agreement, but some remained silent, while Chu Xiu remained indifferent and said, "I donât care how you handle the morale issue internally; thatâs up to you to solve."
"But since you have the determination, I wonât waste any more words and will tell you my plan."
Hearing this, everyone perked up their ears, curious to know what methods Chu Xiu could have in the face of such a hopeless and disproportionate power struggle.
"Itâs actually quite simple. A frontal confrontation is definitely not feasible, so what we need to consider is how to conduct a âdecapitation strike,â" Chu Xiu said.
Upon hearing this, Aurora couldnât help but frown, "But according to what you said, isnât that Blood Demon hiding within the Sea of Blood? Given the current enemy and our power disparity, the opponent could easily keep hiding, and their army alone would be enough to crush us."
