I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 658 - 618: Deep Diver High Priest

"You have thirty minutes."

Only thirty minutes?

This response made the atmosphere inside the submarine even more tense!

"We will reply as soon as possible," the Commander replied solemnly.

The High Priest said nothing more and turned back to the altar, continuing the unfinished ritual.

Only then did the crew members inside the submarine breathe a sigh of relief, but they knew that this crisis was far from over.

The Commander immediately organized a meeting with the crew to discuss countermeasures.

They hoped to find a solution that would satisfy the deep-sea dwellers without sacrificing human interests.

....

Jiang Xiao sat in the command center of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Base, staring coldly at the big screen in front of him.

The screen depicted the tense scene inside the nuclear submarine, with the crew anxiously discussing strategies in a circle.

Watching their dithering and dawdling, Jiang Xiao let out a disdainful snort.

"These people are truly useless."

He sneered contemptuously, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, producing a clear sound.

Jiang Xiao understood in his heart that in this incident, indeed it was the humans of the Kaidan world who were at fault first.

It was their greed and ignorance that led to the deep-sea dwellers' anger.

In his view, compensating some land to the deep-sea dwellers would not be unacceptable.

After all, human history is a continuous saga of wars and struggles, while nature and other creatures always end up as sacrifices.

He stood up, walking towards the command stand, his gaze firm and powerful.

"Why are you hesitating? In my opinion, we should immediately notify the submarine and tell them we are willing to compensate some land!"

His voice echoed throughout the command center, and everyone was shaken by his aura.

"However."

Jiang Xiao's voice suddenly turned cold.

"This compensation isn't unconditional. We need to sign an agreement with the deep-sea dwellers to ensure they won't use this land to conduct harmful activities against humans."

"At the same time, we also demand they share their knowledge and technology as an exchange."

His words carried an undeniable firmness.

Everyone present knew that this wasn't just compensation, but a test and balance of power between both sides.

Jiang Xiao's eyes swept over each person, his gaze as sharp as a sword.

"If they don't agree, we don't need to force it."

"You must understand that you humans are not qualified to negotiate with them!"

The air in the command center seemed to freeze, and everyone felt the weight behind this decision.

Indeed...

Humanity has no qualifications in this gamble...

If the deep-sea dwellers wish, they could entirely allow the divine power to gradually erode human civilization.

Even though humans have weapons of mass destruction.

The direct harm to the deep-sea dwellers at their living depths could be said to be negligible.

Of course.

Humans could bring about an Ice Age in the entire Kaidan world.

But if that were to happen, humanity's fate would be even worse than that of the deep-sea dwellers.

So, from start to finish, humans have no choice!

Jiang Xiao turned, his gaze once again landing on the highest leader of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Base.

The latter's face showed no emotional fluctuation, only calm and determination, as if they had long understood the result.

"Time is running out, act immediately. The attitude can appear tough, but we have no right to refuse the requests posed by the deep-sea dwellers."

The leader gave the order blandly.

After a brief silence, the voice of the highest Commander inside the nuclear submarine came through the screen.

"Understood, we will act according to the instructions."
