Chapter 497: Is it worth it?
At this stage, Su Xia cannot kill Wang Teng, and Wang Teng cannot kill Su Xia for the time being.
Wang Teng had a vague guess about Su Xia's identity, but he couldn't confirm it.
If it was really as he guessed, then Su Xia could not be killed, and even if he was killed he could be resurrected again , he could only be imprisoned.
Therefore, this battle between the two is meaningless.
They are all smart people and will not waste any more time fighting.
If both sides play their cards and both suffer losses, there is a real possibility that a third party will reap the benefits.
Therefore, Wang Teng suggested using a different method to decide the outcome.
"Masked man, what do you think?" Wang Teng smiled and was not in a hurry. He patiently asked Su Xia what she thought.
"I don't like taking risks." Su Xia replied calmly, "Why don't you tell me your conditions first? If the conditions can impress me, I might agree to this method."
"You, the masked weirdo, don't like adventure?" Wang Teng laughed. If Su Xia is considered to not like adventure, then there are not many people in this world who like it.
There is no point in saying more. Only by giving specific conditions can he show his sincerity.
Without much thought, Wang Teng gave Su Xia his conditions.
"If I win, you will assist me with the subsequent work and become my right-hand man."
His conditions were actually very simple. "Of course, I won't let you kill innocent people. I can even let you deal with the mechanical race. I think you also know that we will all face the mechanical race in the end. It's just a matter of time."
"Is this the condition?" Su Xia asked calmly without changing his expression.
"Not only that, you also need to gather people from the Nanfeng organization." Wang Teng stated the second condition.
This condition is not difficult.
He did not ask Su Xia to disband the Nanfeng organization. After all, such a large organization would be a considerable force wherever it was located , and it would be a pity to disband it.
He also did not ask the Nanfeng organization to merge into the mercenary organization. After all, the two sides had a blood feud and would fight to the death once they met.
Both parties only need to cooperate to achieve strategic goals.
In the future, when they face powerful enemies like the Mechanical Tribe, they can attack the enemy from two different directions.
"Just these two conditions?" Su Xia asked calmly.
"For now, there are only these two conditions." Wang Teng replied, "If you win, I will also gather the mercenary organizations and take them away from the southwest region, so that you can become the true king of the southwest."
"I have no interest in the title of King of the Southwest." Su Xia said lightly.
"The title is secondary, power is the most important."
Wang Teng added: "By becoming the king of this area, you will gain more benefits than you can imagine. Your South Wind Organization can develop into the strongest force in this wilderness. When you integrate all the resources, even an organization like the Zero Point Tavern will pay more attention to you."
"They have taken me seriously enough," Su Xia said.
“Yes, but it could be taken more seriously.”
Wang Teng smiled calmly and continued, "Not only that, if you win, I will also share with you the secrets of the spacecraft wreckage I own, so that you can learn more about the mysteries of the starry sky..."
He paused, glanced at Su Xia's expression, and then said: "The power of our cooperation is far more than just one plus one. As long as we work together, the possibility of us leaving this barren planet will be greatly increased. I am even confident that I can help you defeat the mechanical race within two years and then enter the starry sky!"
I have to say that the conditions offered by Wang Teng are quite tempting.
Regardless of success or failure, he is willing to share the spacecraft wreckage in his hands with Su Xia. This is his greatest sincerity.
On the contrary, Su Xia doesn't need to pay anything.
Wang Teng didn't even ask Su Xia to tell him the location of the alien spacecraft wreckage he had.
There is no doubt that Wang Teng is an ambitious man who will do anything to achieve his goal.
"I know what you're worried about ."
Seeing that Su Xia was slow to respond, Wang Teng spoke again and said, "After entering the starry sky, this planet will have no meaning to me. It belongs completely to you, and I will not interfere in any way."
He slowed down his tone and tried to sound sincere.
“Even if you are unable to take ownership of this planet, I can still help you and do my best to make you the master of this planet.
“Don’t doubt it. After returning to the Imperial Star Region, I will soon become the darling of various news platforms and publishing houses. My legendary stories on remote planets will be welcomed by countless people. My experiences over the years will be written into books and adapted into movies and TV series, influencing future generations.
"By then, I will have countless wealth and connections, and I can easily help you take ownership of this barren planet..."
Wang Teng knew that Su Xia also had a certain understanding of the starry sky and the universe, so he did not lie to him.
Many spaceship crew members like to write books, either by themselves or by asking writers with good writing skills to write for them. Basically, they write about their personal adventure stories.
In the peaceful imperial star region, not many people choose to explore deep into the remote starry sky.
Most people choose to live their lives in peace.
But, deep in the hearts of many people, there is a seed of adventure.
However, the pressure of life, family ties, unknown dangers, etc. made them give up adventure and the legendary life they often fantasized about when they were young, and eventually became one of countless ordinary lives.
Therefore, the crew's personal adventure stories are particularly popular.
Discovering unknown life, falling into terrifying star fields, going deep into the ruins of ancient civilizations, fighting with the natives of wild planets, etc. are all things that the general public likes to watch.
Hal once told Su Xia a related story.
When Wang Teng returns to the Imperial Star Region, his experiences over the years will surely attract great attention and even cause a sensation.
Struggling to survive on a remote and barren planet for countless years, and finally using hard work and wisdom to successfully return to the civilized world - isn't this similar to surviving on a deserted island on Earth?
As long as he could go back, Wang Teng would become a wealthy man with countless wealth and assets.
It is indeed an easy task to help Su Xia take over this remote planet.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that he will not regret it.
The initiative is in his hands.
What will happen in the end is just a matter of his words, isn't it?
So Su Xia didn't think much about it and directly refused: "I'm not interested in your conditions."
"You will have it." Wang Teng smiled faintly, "In this case, let's put aside the conditions and see what the final result is."
The wind between heaven and earth was growing stronger and stronger, whistling non-stop and raging all over the fields.
Thunder rumbled in the sky and the dark clouds grew thicker.
A heavy rain seems to be really coming.
It would be best if we could end this battle before the rain comes, as the cold rain can wash away the blood on the ground.
In Town No. 7, close combat has already begun.
Under the fearless charge of Li Defu and others, the first line of defense was completely torn apart.
Just like that, a big hole was torn in the seemingly impregnable Town No. 7, and the elites of the entire Bikini Bottom team quickly poured in and fought with the many wandering mercenaries in the town.
Of course, all this is also thanks to the three teams that sneaked into the town.
After the plan changed, they gave up the idea of rescuing people and began to concentrate on wreaking havoc in the town, such as setting fire to ammunition warehouses, releasing a large number of slaves, distributing weapons to the slaves, etc., causing chaos in the rear of the town.
"Haha, I killed one, that's enough!" someone shouted excitedly, covered in blood, holding up the bleeding head high in his hand.
According to the mission description, as long as they can kill one mercenary, all their losses in this mission will be compensated.
In other words, from this moment on, everything he does is profitable!
"Hurry up and kill, brothers, there aren't many heads left!"
"Kill one and you'll break even. Kill two and you'll make a profit!"
"Grandpa Li is here, who dares to fight me!"
Li Defu rushed to the front, roared, and changed into his Flame Dragon Armor suit on the spot, transforming into a mecha giant. He was like a deserted person and started mowing the lawn directly.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the first in this mission!
From the beginning of the war to now, the number of mercenaries who have died at his hands has exceeded three digits.
For this mission, the five brothers in the dormitory all ran to the game hive outside the school, wearing the top virtual reality equipment provided by the game company. The feeling of killing was extremely real, and even the feeling of blood splattering on the body could be simulated.
“Crack!”
A third-level psychic creature had his head blown to pieces by Li Defu on the spot.
Half of the broken head flew up, its eyes bulged out, and there seemed to be a trace of disbelief in its eyes, and then it rolled into the dark red mud mixed with mud and blood.
In the chaos of battle, even psychic creatures find it difficult to protect themselves.
If you don't have skills like psionic shield, a random flying bullet can take the life of a psychic creature.
After all, this world is still dominated by hot weapons!
The slaves inside rebelled and the enemies outside attacked again. Under the joint attack from both inside and outside, the battle situation in the entire town No. 7 became almost one-sided.
"Damn it, they are the undead, they are simply impossible to kill!" A mercenary roared, his eyes red, and he fired desperately, but he was unable to stop the downward trend.
"Nanfeng Organization, you have no moral principles!"
"This is our war. Why should we let the disgusting undead interfere?"
"Damn it! These undeads are all crazy. They are just like a bunch of wild dogs. We can't kill them or get rid of them. How can we fight this battle?"
"Where is Boss Wang Teng?"
“…”
At this point in the battle, there seems to be no suspense.
Mercenaries are originally a group of scattered sand, and there are irreconcilable bloody hatreds between many mercenary organizations.
If it weren't for Wang Teng's call, if it weren't for their common hatred towards the Nanfeng organization, they would never have united together.
Now, the situation has collapsed, completely.
What's the point of fighting any further?
Thinking of this, many mercenaries' eyes flickered, they looked around and began to plan their escape.
Even those mercenary organizations that used Town No. 7 as their long-term base now had the idea of breaking out.
"No, we can't hold this place anymore!"
Tiger was very decisive. He analyzed the current situation clearly in an instant and said seriously: "Break through! We must break through!"
"Boss, our supplies and foundation are all here. Are we going to give up so soon?" The leader of the organization, code-named Qinghu, had a look of regret on his face, reluctant to give up the assets accumulated for so long.
"Don't hesitate! If you lose the money, you can rob again!" Tiger shouted coldly, his eyes cold, "If you save the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will be saved. If you save the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost! Such a simple truth, don't you understand?!"
"yes……"
Qinghu gritted his teeth. Although he was reluctant, he knew that Lao Hu was right.
The only solution now is to break through!
Not far away, the leader of another organization shouted, "Tiger, let's break out together?"
"good!"
The tiger immediately agreed, the more people the better.
If they have fewer people, one round of enemy artillery fire will be enough to suppress their breakout.
"The people from the Nanfeng organization must be waiting outside for us to break out!" shouted the leader of the organization.
"Then kill them!" Tiger shouted coldly, "Nanfeng's people are also flesh and blood. They only have one life. Even if we have to trade our lives with them, we can get it!"
"Tiger is right. We just need to avoid these mad undead dogs!" Not far away, the boss of another large organization responded.
"Then what are you waiting for?"
"Don't hesitate!"
"The longer we delay, the more unfavorable the situation will be for us!"
"Come on, brothers, follow me and fight our way out together!"
At the critical moment, the mercenaries who had been scattered like a pile of sand actually came together again.
I have to say that there are still some capable people in the mercenary organization.
People like Tiger have a very good understanding of the mentality of grassroots mercenaries and are quite sensitive to changes in the battlefield situation. They are smart and decisive, and are rare talents anywhere.
…
In the distance, west of the town.
In the blazing fire, Su Xia and Wang Teng stared at each other from a distance of several dozen meters.
The changes in the situation in the town have always been within the perception of the two of them.
"Your people are preparing to break out." Su Xia said calmly.
"Your people are also ready to intercept their breakout." Wang Teng smiled indifferently and looked into the distance.
In the jungle outside Town No. 7, people from the South Wind Organization had been waiting for a long time.
After Tiger and his men break out of the town, they will definitely run into the firepower of the Nanfeng organization at the first moment.
Even if they can finally break through successfully, only a few people will survive.
"I have to say that your people have always been quite cautious." Wang Teng suddenly said, "I have tried many methods, but I couldn't get them to come out in full force, let alone attract them to a certain area. Speaking of which... I have to thank you very much."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Su Xia looked at him indifferently.
"After you showed up, your people moved out en masse out of trust in you." Wang Teng said with a smile, "This move exposed their coordinates."
Hearing this, Su Xia's expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly realized that he had been missing a possibility.
Those sixteen possible prisoners were indeed Wang Teng’s bait.
but……
Isn’t the entire Town No. 7 another bait for Wang Teng?
The bait can be abandoned or even destroyed!
Is it worth it to completely destroy the Nanfeng Organization at the cost of the destruction of the entire Town No. 7 and the lives of tens of thousands of mercenaries?
Although doing this can kill the enemy, it will also destroy one's own foundation, which is not worth it no matter how you look at it.
But for Wang Teng, this foundation would be gone once it was gone.
He is an ambitious man with tough measures. He possesses technological means beyond the reach of this planet and doesn't care about the more than 10,000 weed-like lives at all.
"Masked man, I actually told you the plan a long time ago, but you didn't think of it." Wang Teng smiled, "When I said the words 'weeds on the roadside' to you, you should have told your people to retreat instead of coming over to fight with me."
The corner of his mouth raised and he looked at Su Xia, as if he was looking at a young junior who was not smart enough.
Being young is indeed an advantage.
But sometimes, being young is also a disadvantage.
