171 Making a choice

After having stayed in this world for some years, Wang has still been able to experience some things that could be said to have contributed more to the current state of mind he has.

Looking into the distance, he seemed to have struggled with making up his mind on an issue.

But in the end, he just sighed, getting down as he was restricted from his state of thoughts, he mumbled, “I have not done much exercise in the aspect of mental state, but it is understandable considering the difficulty in entering the fourth state. For the time being it is better to think of all possible methods to utilize my mental state to the highest possible potential.” As he thought about this situation he become tangled with his thoughts slightly.

In a distant region, where extreme cold covers everything, a group was sitting down in a hall having discussions.

A man in the leader’s seat looked down at the middle-aged woman on his right, as well as other seven individuals seated in different locations.

Each had their own identity but in the end, they were sitting honestly in front of the man.

The pressure, they emitted all seemed powerful but their pressure was still overshadowed by the leader.

The woman was the first to raise her concerns with a soft voice, pleasant to hear. It seemed like that of a young woman, but everyone couldn’t help but become vigilant of the middle-aged woman.

Her words, “This situation in this region is getting worse by the day, it won’t be long before the protection set can’t even withstand the corrosion of dark cold. The experts involved in maintenance are reducing day by day and their level of strength is only below us. When we have no one to repair them anymore, how long can we survive? A year? A decade? Or a century? You all should be aware that the most important thing is to find ways out of this place. We need to get out of this death place otherwise it won’t be long before our fate is worse than death.”

.....

With such a serious tone, everyone becomes solemn.

With their level of strength, a decade or century is indeed nothing but that doesn’t mean that the changes in the region they are located in such a period are to be underestimated.

“If I remember correctly when we just arrived in this place, there were close to hundreds of thousands of us. Now, even with the additional numbers over the years, we can’t even reach a few thousand. At the same time, even the weather in this place has forced the strongest of us to hide underground.” The tone carried some frustration.

In the end, finding some way outside would be the hope for the future.

To them, it was more frustrating watching the end of their lives approaching when they still had long lifespans but incapable of fighting against nature.

On this planet, it is indeed very difficult to underhand the rules of operation and someone even stronger like the leader had to also hide out underground.

The use of egg capsules seems to be very easy to understand. If the place it is placed has any civilization then it would be easy to be attracted by the changes in the egg capsules.

But if Wang were to hear their talks he would be shocked.

“You are all more concerned about the wrong things. What I’m worried about is not being unable to connect to other intelligent life but rather making more enemies. So what if the egg capsules manage to gain attention and are taken by others? Do you think they will bother to help someone that caused problems for them?” The one that spoke was a red-haired man with black outlines at the edge of his hair.

He knew exactly how sinister the egg capsules were and by the time he tried to stop this, it was already too.

In that sense, he assumed the attempt to want to control others from a different region.

But how could that be easy, Wang had been smart to lock up the egg capsule as the energy he felt before and mistook for vitality seemed to be very evil.

It could induce greed and make people fight each other to get control of it, and in the end, once one loses reason they could count as slaves.

But in the end, ths group was sitting underground after launching them assuming that they could become successful.

Other than that, something else kept bothering him, the expectation to get help after scheming against them.

It was obvious that once stronger existence gets involved in their schemes, it would be very difficult to guarantee whether it would speed up their death.

Being among the senior members of the group, he was very rational. He had joined the region in the later years when the situation started to deteriorate.

But now he just kept feeling this group in the administration didn’t understand anything at all.

No one would be so forgiving after downsizing one uses some methods to hurt those around them before asking for help.

Such acts are paramount to provocation, and the involved parties would probably not think twice about fighting back.

Retaliation might indeed seem like a stretch for some of the individuals in the underground base, considering their time and methods all being exhausted.

The woman looked around and only saw that everyone in the room had become gloomy. Displeased with what the man had said, she could see that something was indeed not right with the group.

She however didn’t care much, she like the others were desperate to leave this place. Any one of them had expectations but at the same time, she looked at the leader and waited for him to speak.

He sighed before saying, “What brother Qin said is indeed true, but we have no choice in the matter. If ti comes down to it, we are forced into this situation because we also want to survive.” The leader indeed spoke without any intention of changing tactics.

He had to put hope in themselves rather than in others. At the same time, the group at the table nodded very much, agreeing with their leader’s wisdom.

This situation continued for a while, as the group kept praising each other the man with red hair couldn’t stand it and walked out of the room.

Back then when he came to this world, he indeed respected this group of people but now they had already turned away and their actions could no longer be differentiated from devils.

Even the support of the defensive measures used in the underground place they reside is from the sacrifices of some groups of people with realms below them.

In a way, this action of hurting strangers couldn’t be considered to have any impact on them at all.

In that way, most of the egg capsules they realized had some kind of evil purpose.

The hall was silent for a while before someone couldn’t help it anymore.

“That bastard, why didn’t leader just get rid of him immediately, what is the use of having such a person among us?” a white-haired olden spoke up, obviously dissatisfied.

” Do you think that there is a problem with the words said by brother Qin? Hehe! ” The leader had a sinister laugh before saying coldly, ” Even though what he said didn’t seem to be on par with our united opinions, I still think it makes sense. At least I’m aware that when it comes down to it, he would be willing to fight for our way from this hell hole. But I can’t say the same for some of you. You only care about your benefits, even now that it has come to this you think I’m supporting you so you want to suppress him?” The leader released immense pressure that made all the individuals sitting below him shudder.

“We have no time to play these games. You better prepare well, I’m expecting some angry individual might take initiative to get back at us, and at that time we might use the opportunity to escape this damn place.” The man spoke resolutely but in the end, he sighed too.

Watching everyone leave the woman was the only one left and asked, “Why did the lord scold them? They are very useful in the plans.”

The man looked at the woman and sighed, “You indeed are also just like them, have you forgotten how we got to this state? Back then even though we were just foreigners, we gained many opportunities and this made most of them arrogant. They have forgotten that this world has its owners. People like Qin are necessary in the end, but that group of arrogant old men, even after being in this world longer, their potential has exhausted completely. Yet they only think about causing trouble. Do you think that I’m sure about surfing if their plan provokes a higher level of existence?” The man was frowning.

He then looked at her and said, “Zhao Qinemg you should understand one thing, we are not strong in this world at all. After several thousands of years, I can barely touch the threshold of that realm, but this made me understand that this cold is not formed naturally. Someone behind the scenes seems to be trying to completely keep us here. In the beginning,g this place was very friendly to us, so how could It suddenly become like this?”

He looked up in the sky through the underground his vision however failed to give him. any clarity.

“At midnight, invite Qin over, I’ll make arrangements for you two to take some elites and leave this place. I have somewhere in mind.” After saying that the leader walked away leaving the woman standing alone in a daze.
