Chapter 319 Jiang Yue's father is mentally ill
The moment Jiang Qinghai heard Jiang Yue's words, his brows furrowed, and he stared intently into Jiang Yue's eyes, trying to discern something amiss in her dark gaze.
No, looking at her still completely black pupils, Jiang Qinghai found it even more difficult to understand. She should still be at the fifth level, so why has she basically recovered? This shouldn't be the case.
The doubts gradually turned into a strange fervor. Jiang Qinghai stepped forward, wanting to grab Jiang Yue and take her to the laboratory to open her mind and study where things went wrong.
However, before he could act, his outstretched hand was grabbed, and only then did Jiang Qinghai turn his gaze to the young man beside him, whom he was not very familiar with.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly tense, Su Xuan immediately stepped forward to mediate, "Qinghai, this is Lu Yize, Jiang Yue's husband. They are married."
Jiang Qinghai's expression didn't change much when he heard this, but he couldn't understand why anyone would want to be with a zombie.
He looked at Jiang Yue, confirming that she had been corrupted, and then looked at Lu Yize, a sixth-level ability user. His attitude towards Lu Yize was relatively good, but only in a relative sense.
Mo Ming, whose brain was probably not fully developed, spoke to Lu Yize in a commanding tone, "You are an esper, you shouldn't be with a lowly zombie. You should kill her and then find another esper with similar talent to be with."
When people are speechless to the extreme, they can actually laugh. When Lu Yize heard Jiang Yue's so-called biological father say such things, he didn't know whether to admire his righteousness in betraying his own family or to say that he was a rare and pure idiot.
Zheng Lin, who was standing next to him, was young and always said whatever he wanted. Hearing Jiang Qinghai's words, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Are you out of your mind? Your daughter may have turned into a zombie, but she hasn't eaten anyone, hasn't hurt anyone, and is doing just fine with her husband. Why are you trying to kill her right off the bat? Are you some kind of living devil?"
Jiang Qinghai glanced at Zheng Lin and saw that he was a tall kid whose brain hadn't caught up yet. He looked away immediately and snorted coldly. He refused to communicate with an idiot.
"What kind of look is that?!" Zheng Lin's temper flared up. How strange, how could this person still be alive after all these years?
Zheng Lin didn't care about the occasion; whoever displeased him, he would make them displeased. He would take action instead of just talking, and lashed out at Jiang Qinghai's face with the vines.
Just as the vine was about to lash Jiang Qinghai's face, the extremely aggressive vine slowly lost its force and softened, before being grasped in the hand of a tall, androgynous-looking man.
"We're all on the same side, why get so angry?"
This person not only has an androgynous appearance, but also an abnormal voice. This person has long hair and delicate features. If it weren't for his prominent Adam's apple, one would probably think he was a beautiful mature woman.
Zheng Lin had never seen anyone like this before. He frowned, took two steps back, and retracted his vines. "Who's on your side? Who knows how many hearts you have?"
"Let's sit down and talk. Don't be so resistant. We're all human, and our interests are aligned, aren't they?" The person wasn't angry. He smiled and made way for them, gesturing for them to proceed.
Lu Yize's visit was not specifically to cause trouble, but rather to test the waters. Naturally, he did not refuse, and the various parties sat down together in the conference room.
Morse was familiar with the people from Beisha, and Chen Mingzhang and Zheng Lin were also familiar with the people from Donggu. However, the background of Xiyue, led by that androgynous and beautiful man, was unknown.
The people sent to aid Xiyue were of the lowest rank and least dedicated; most of them have already died in the battle against the Zerg.
Jiang Qinghai saw that Jiang Yue was also sitting in the meeting room, her face full of dissatisfaction. Not only did she show it on her face, but she also spoke without any emotional intelligence.
"We're discussing things, what's the point of having a zombie around? You're not only not killing her, but you're also colluding with the zombie. I don't know what you're thinking."
"Qinghai, please don't do this..."
Su Xuan tugged at his clothes helplessly, but Jiang Qinghai was single-minded, saying, "I disdain associating with zombies."
Lu Yize chuckled upon hearing this, and all eyes in the conference room turned to him. Lu Yize stopped sitting upright, threw down the pen he was playing with, and leaned back in his chair.
"Disdain to associate with zombies?"
When Lu Yize said this, he glanced at Jiang Qinghai's face. His slow tone made people relax, but then he said something that made everyone present change their expressions.
"Disdainful of being with zombies, yet willing to submit to a different race? I really can't learn that kind of backbone."
"What nonsense are you spouting! How could we possibly submit to a foreign race! What do you take us for?!"
The second-in-command of Beisha, who is also the current husband of Morse's ex-wife, stood up angrily. He could not bear such a great injustice.
Seeing this, Morse smiled and handed the person a cup of tea. "Sid, there's no need to be angry. Our leader is right. There are some people, and I certainly believe you are not that kind of person."
"However... you can't say for sure whether others think the same way. After all, some people do feel that the gap in strength between us and the alien races is too great, and they have the idea of retreating. So they chose this outcome, which they believe is good for everyone. That's understandable, right?"
Morse's words were sarcastic and ambiguous, using phrases like "understandable" and "self-righteous," which caused some people on the other side to have distorted expressions.
Sid realized what Morse was saying and, recalling some previous events, his face turned pale and then red, clearly thinking of something terrible.
Jiang Qinghai was still dissatisfied because Lu Yize had been hanging out with a zombie, even though that zombie was his daughter. "Ignorant! Do you think you can fight against those alien races just because you're a sixth-level being?"
"Do you know that the gap between us and them is not just in the level of superpowers? Their technology, military strength, and the development of superpowers are all far more advanced than ours. If we insist on fighting them head-on, it's like throwing an egg against a rock, utterly foolish!"
Hearing Jiang Qinghai's arrogant yet self-deprecating words, Chen Mingzhang lost his temper. "According to you, giving up all the black crystal stones and feeding them all the strange beasts, plants, and zombies as prey to hunt them down in exchange for temporary safety is a wise move?"
Upon hearing Chen Mingzhang's words, the people in the meeting room looked shocked. Some were clearly unaware of this arrangement, while others were astonished at how he knew about it.
"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. After all the alien beasts, plants, and zombies are dead, their strength has increased, but the number of those on our side is decreasing. Who do you think will be the next target?"
Chen Mingzhang's voice was cold and clear, which was especially noticeable in the otherwise bustling meeting room. As he finished speaking, the room fell into an inexplicable silence.
