Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!-Chapter 272 - 116 A Visitor to Huadu

The people who arrived were indeed from Huadu.

And, they were not just ordinary people.

Leading them was the Think Tank from the Queen’s side, along with several high-ranked Prime Ministers, and over a dozen carefully selected, stunningly beautiful female demons.

The purpose of this "embassy" was self-evident; they didn’t even use Huadu’s own forces for protection, but instead recruited a batch of neutral mercenaries.

One could say they had already lowered their posture as much as possible.

Yet the Think Tank leading them still felt it wasn’t enough.

Because he had already noticed the changes in Jinling City.

The Saint who had ruled Jinling City and the Mechanical God Sect for decades suddenly died within a few days, in the shockingly spectacular manner of "divine punishment" before all the citizens of Jinling City.

Replacing him was the Commander of the Guard Brigade, someone who had never appeared in the core of power before, and was not even a part of the Jin family.

Even without much thought, the Think Tank could guess what had happened.

Subsequent intelligence leaking out gradually confirmed his suspicions.

This caused him deep fear.

Not only because of the strong power and decisiveness of the Huaxia Army, but more importantly, their display of such all-encompassing "omnipotence."

In war, no one could fight better than them.

And now, in political maneuvering, surprisingly no one could match them either.

Adding in the secret technology they have mastered....

Could it be that they are the true chosen ones?

Could it be they are destined to become the rulers of this entire continent?

The closer they got to their destination, the more tense the Think Tank’s emotions became.

Especially when guided by drones, walking onto a road that clearly had just been developed, his heart rate almost reached its limit.

He could not understand how such a wide road had been constructed.

At least 10 kilometers long, several meters wide.

All made of compacted earth and stone, even walking on it you could barely feel any unevenness.

Huadu had once built such roads too.

Yet it took them a full four years!

How long did these Huaxia Army people take...

Five days? Or three days?

The Think Tank suppressed the anxiety in his heart and continued forward, and when he finally saw the cleared open area, his heart finally died.

Countless combat Mecha, countless steel machines, along with a factory that had obviously just been constructed, and molten steel pouring out from overturned furnaces, radiating a blinding bright yellow light...

Is this still the Jinling Ruins?!

If it weren’t for those forests around that had not yet been completely cleared, and the somewhat crude temporary shelters, the Think Tank would have thought this was a workshop the Mechanical God Sect had operated for many years....

Looking around, the Think Tank suddenly realized his "visit" had already failed.

Can’t win, so trade?

Trade what?

Is there anything in your hand that they need?

Even Huadu’s greatest secret they might not care about.

Because they are already strong enough, they don’t need such things to increase their already negligible chances....

The Think Tank heaved a long sigh, and at that moment, Chen Jian, wearing the Nezha exoskeleton, had already led the others to the Huadu people.

Without needing any orders, the Think Tank immediately led everyone to kneel.

Chen Jian frowned slightly and said:

"I already know your identities, now, irrelevant people may leave."

"The Huadu people stay, and you have three sentences to convince me whether you can live."

As his words fell, the mercenaries hired quickly scattered.

They had no courage to continue fulfilling the remaining contract.

After witnessing the true strength of the Huaxia Army, even if given a hundred more courage, they wouldn’t dare to disobey.

And the Think Tank knelt on the ground, his voice slightly trembling as he said:

"Sir, we are here to seek peace."

"That’s the first sentence."

Chen Jian said coldly, the Think Tank froze for a moment, suddenly realizing the three sentences he mentioned were no joke.

If he couldn’t provide a compelling reason within three sentences, then perhaps... he would really die!

His mind raced, and after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:

"We have realized the crimes Huadu has committed before, and we are willing to completely cease the use of those substances and thoroughly clean up the traces of their existence!"

As his words fell, Chen Jian turned to Lei Jie beside him, who shrugged without much reaction.

As expected, it was the right guess.

These Huadu people indeed took this step.

But, this was still not enough reason for Chen Jian to let them go.

At least, it’s not the reason to let these people in front go.

So he continued:

"That’s the second sentence."

Cold sweat seeped from the Think Tank’s forehead, he knew he had only one last chance left.

And this time, he couldn’t make any mistakes.

He raised his head, looking at the tall "steel warriors" in front of him.

Slightly trembling, he said:

"We know secrets related to the Terror Demon.... the Terror Demon is originally man-made!"

"That’s the third sentence, you’re out of chances."

Chen Jian waved his hand, signaling a "do it" motion.

The Think Tank rose in terror, urgently shouting:

"My lord!"

"I haven’t finished!"

"It’s not just the Terror Demon! The so-called Mimic Heretics are also man-made!"

"You surely care about this! I have more information about the Mimic Heretics!" freewēbnoveℓ.com

As his words fell, Chen Jian’s actions indeed paused.

He approached the Think Tank a few steps and then asked:

"You have information on the Mimic Heretics?"

"Yes, a lot! Huadu is absolutely the organization that knows the most about the Mimic Heretics, bar none!"

"Neither the Mechanical God Sect, Holy Blood Temple, nor the Ring Chamber of Commerce have intelligence as detailed as ours!"

"Because... we are the true inheritors of those Mimic Heretics!"

"I assure you, you will never hear this from anyone else, because it is the deepest secret!"

"Even within Huadu, only a very few people know!"

"The palace holds the true secrets of the Mimic Heretics, if you need it, we can use it as a trade to secure precious peace!"

"Understood..."

Chen Jian slowly exhaled, then asked:

"You mean, the secrets about the Mimic Heretics are stored in your Huadu palace?"

"Yes, I..."

"Let me finish."

Chen Jian raised his hand to interrupt the Think Tank, then asked:

"So even if you’re willing to trade, you can’t complete it now?"

"I can return to Huadu immediately and fetch it for you!"

The Think Tank spoke urgently:

"This is not just for myself, but for the peace of both sides!"

"War benefits us in no way, we need peace, and Huadu can make concessions."

"Give me 10 days, I will not delay, I..."

"No need."

Chen Jian, slightly disappointed, waved his hand and said:

"We can retrieve it ourselves."

He then turned to Ji Xing beside him.

"You handle it."

"Keep what is useful, and for what isn’t....."

"Bury it."
