Chapter 285
"Compared to the pollution you caused in the past… and will cause in the future, I'd feel it's more environmentally friendly to cut down this tree of yours," Han Xiao said mockingly .
In his previous life, no player could dig out the origin of the leader—it was truly hard to find the true identity of an ordinary missing person in this age of war . After Han Xiao heard the leader's description, he had a clearer understanding of him .
The leader was a firm patriot, one of the few Gollum citizens that escaped Raylen's invasion . He hid in the dark, purposely fighting at the edge of death to look for breakthroughs and the power to revenge, one of the superhumans that started ordinary and reached the peak of the planet, ambitious and extreme .
Now that he had met a dead end, he decided that he would rather die than compromise; it was clear that the hatred was already deeply buried in his bones .
The experience of a planet main character is indeed really interesting and legendary . Every main character has a history that can be dug out, Han Xiao thought with mixed feelings .
When he was still very weak, the leader had been like a mountain, and he had needed to act with caution and become stronger . Finally, he had gained the power to face him head-on and defeated the Germinal Organization .
The Germinal Organization was the main antagonist of Planet Aquamarine in Version 1 . 0 . Han Xiao had also participated in this storyline during his previous life as a player . Now that he had a different identity, his impact was much higher, and it was a totally different experience . Although Han Xiao looked very calm, it did not mean that he did not enjoy the victory—there was still a sense of accomplishment in his heart .
The leader shook his head and said, "I never thought that an escaped test subject would become my greatest enemy . When you stole the secrets and broke through my ambush, I already knew that the Germinal Organization would undoubtedly lose . I never give up, but there was nothing I could do; it was barely even a struggle before death . "
Because he had predicted this long ago, no matter how bad the situation was for them, he was not surprised . Seeing the organization that he had built slowly slide into the abyss, he was actually still calm .
"To me, defeat means death . The Six Nations want to see me surrender so that they can take all the knowledge that the Germinal Organization has gained throughout the years . I won't let them get anything . "
Han Xiao raised his brows . "About that, I heard you captured quite a few hostages . If you activate the explosion, all of them will definitely die, and the nuclear blast will affect the climate, worsening the environment of the entire planet, endangering the everyone's future in this planet . Are you sure you want to do this?"
The leader kept silent . The sound of breathing was the only thing coming out from the speakers . Han Xiao was not in a hurry; he watched the screen calmly .
After a while, the leader spoke in a low voice .
"You're going to persuade me to surrender?"
Han Xiao shrugged and said, "I'm not planning to, because you don't seem like someone that can be persuaded, but the guys opposite me want me to…"
He was in a meeting room of Sanctuary One at the moment, holding his laptop and sitting on the sofa . Bennett sat opposite him and listened to the entire conversation . He kept using hand signs to tell Han Xiao to persuade the leader . Both sides suffering was the last thing Bennett wanted to see .
Han Xiao felt that Bennett was daydreaming . To have him, the very person that caused their defeat, do the persuasion, was that not completely adding fuel to the fire? Even if the leader had planned to surrender originally, he might change his mind instantly after seeing Han Xiao's face . Luckily, the leader had always been very firm, or he would have been quite worried… Wait a minute, that logic felt somewhat weird .
Bennett kept giving him signs . Han Xiao had no choice but to give it a try, or Bennett would nag him like a mother again .
"I'd rather bring everyone with me," the leader said maliciously . "This world shall know pain!"
Han Xiao's mouth opened wide, a classic reference stuck in his throat .
Pain, is that you‽ [1 . Pain is a character in a Japanese manga/anime series, one of his signature lines is "This world shall know pain . "]
The leader sneered . "I hate this world—why should I care for it? Even if the Six Nations won, don't even dream of not paying anything! The Six Nations are killers, too, only reaching their position today after destroying countless nations . They stood on the ruins and praised their actions . The winner is always on the side of justice, and these blood debts will all be buried in history . No one will know, no one will find out, and no one will fight for justice of the old era . These governments that have luckily survived have enjoyed themselves for too long, and it's time for them to pay a little interest!"
The leader did not care about what the world would become after he died; he would rather betray others than to be betrayed . Even a normal person might feel this way, not to mention the malicious, ambitious leader .
Han Xiao did not comment . The results of a nuclear attack would have a minimal effect on him, as he would sooner or later leave Planet Aquamarine . Furthermore . The next version was Mutation Disaster . A larger disaster was coming, and in comparison, this climate disaster would be nothing .
The Germinal Organization had survived in his previous life, and there had been a potential risk of them coming back again . Now the Germinal Organization had been annihilated at once, but it brought a last lasting negative impact . As for which one was better, Han Xiao did not really know, but the latter would definitely clear his [Fall of the Germinal] mission .
To other people of Planet Aquamarine that did not know this, the result of the latter was horrifying . The climate was deeply connected to their lives, and no one would wish for an environment deterioration .
Sitting opposite, Bennett was anxious . He wished he could just fly to the Germinal Organization headquarters and kill the leader before he could press the button .
Han Xiao looked at the clock and said slowly, "There's still quite some time till the deadline that the Six Nations gave . Aren't you going to wait any longer?"
"I prefer to decide my time of death myself . " The leader's eyes became firm . He reached out his hand, held onto the nuclear launch keys, and started turning slowly .
A suffocating pressure came out of the screen, and the leader's movement seemed to be lasting forever . Bennett hands clawed at the sofa's armrests and tore the leather open .
Every degree he turned, one second was taken away from the countdown clock of countless lives .
The second hand gradually pointed toward the final result .
Han Xiao looked at the leader's face calmly and suddenly asked, "I never got your name . "
"My name?" The leader lifted the corner of his lips and gave a ferocious smile . "Not important . "
"You're right, so… goodbye then . " Han Xiao sighed and waved his hand .
The keys turned one hundred and eighty degrees .
The sound of a quake came out of the screen—that was the sound of missiles rising into the sky .
The leader retracted his hands and sat on the chair like a statue . At that moment, his tone did not have any hatred, regret, or sadness of almost facing his death; there was not any intense emotion . Like old neighbors passing each other, he nodded at Han Xiao .
"Goodbye . "
…
"Warning! Warning! Fast-moving objects are rising from the Germinal Organization headquarters!"
All of the waiting military officers in the Six Nations combat conference stood up in shock; this was the worst-case scenario . Although the people present were mentally prepared, when this moment arrived, they still found it hard to accept .
A nuclear blast killing hostages, resulting in pollution, burning the Germinal Organization headquarters to the ground, countless classified technology lost forever… It could not be considered a win for any party .
"Activate anti navigation?" the assistant said shivering .
All the officers had no choice . Without hesitation, their responses were the same . "Activate immediately!"
In the Germinal Organization headquarters, the ground and the buildings were trembling slightly . The hiding Germinal Organization soldiers looked up to the sky through the windows and saw the missiles rise one after another .
An atmosphere of silence and death spread among the people . Everyone knew the leader's decision and what was going to happen next .
Tears, despair, madness, twitching, trembling, screaming, growling, indifference…
