Chapter 356 - 156: Eerie Monster, Sudden Decapitation Assault
After discovering the truth about Element 710, Lu Wenwu became increasingly suspicious of the true state of the Superhuman Federation.
Breeding insects to extract oil is actually something that can be openly discussed.
Element 710 is a necessity for superluminal travel and is considered the lifeblood of industry.
Even if they reveal this to the public, what difference does it make?
Lu Wenwu did not understand why there was a need to deceive the public in this regard.
Isn’t this just like raising pigs for slaughter, only to have them revolt and kill the farmer one day?
It’s not such a big deal, right?
What is the point of deception?
In the case where the public has been completely brainwashed into believing the Insect Race is humanity’s enemy, reclaiming control over them should be quite effective.
So, Lu Wenwu was puzzled by the purpose of this concealment and deception.
Could it be that they are deliberately creating cannon fodder to reduce the population by sending them to die on the frontline?
That would be way too ’dinner’.
In the context of surplus productivity and land, population growth is critical for the rapid development of a Great Unity state, and the Superhuman Federation, as a modern nation, cannot be ignorant of this.
Therefore, Lu Wenwu could only suspect that perhaps Super Earth was allowing the Insect Race to breach the containment of the 710 Elemental Farm in a strategic move.
It might be to rapidly select the most outstanding soldiers from the excessive population, and then deploy them to the western front to fight the real enemy—robots.
According to intelligence, the war between the Superhuman Federation and robots in the Meilafeng River region has been a draw for nearly ten years, with massive resources invested by both sides.
Fighting robots is not the same as fighting insects.
Even though a Yellow Springs Warrior can effortlessly navigate through a sea of insects in a level-nine mission.
They are still highly likely to be driven away by the robot army in a level-seven mission, blasted sky-high like a tumbling gourd.
Moreover...
They are robots!
Humans fighting against a bunch of mass-produced machines, morale itself is a significant issue.
With all things considered, Meilafeng River was also referred to by Li Zhenyuan as the most terrifying meat grinder.
Like a blood millstone, it rapidly devours soldiers’ lives.
Lu Wenwu arrived at the evacuation point and met up with the Tiger Whale Sisters and Mao Mao, sharing his speculations with them while waiting for Pelican One.
After hearing his account, Hu Frost pondered for a moment and said: "So, what you’re saying is that the Insect Race is not threatening, and we should focus our strategy on robots?"
"At least that’s how it seems for now," Lu Wenwu nodded. "No matter how messed up the social structure of the Superhuman Federation is, one thing is certain: dealing with the Insect Race would be extremely easy, even incidental."
"So, if we are allies of the Superhuman Federation, we’ve naturally already met the basic requirements of the main mission?" Tiger Mo blinked, "At least we’re capable of completing it at any time, right?"
"You could say that, there’s a safeguard," Lu Wenwu confirmed. "At least given the current performance of the Superhuman Federation, I don’t think the previously captive Insect Race has a chance against the other two forces."
Tiger Mo suddenly thought of a crazy idea: "Hey, hey, what if the Insect Race is hiding thousands of Acidic Titans? Could they defeat a careless Superhuman Federation?"
Hu Frost gave her silly sister a look: "Has the Superhuman Federation ever mobilized large-scale warfare weapons other than the Super Destroyer? Not to mention, just the 380MM high-explosive bombardment alone, if hundreds of Super Destroyers wash the same area, no number of Acidic Titans would survive."
"Hmm... seems reasonable..." Tiger Mo scratched her head.
As the three discussed what to do next, Pelican One had smoothly landed.
The mission was complete, time to evacuate and return to the spacecraft.
...
Meanwhile, the capital of the Superhuman Federation, also the seat of the Superhuman Federation Government—Eros.
This city highly aligns with early Earthlings’ fantasy of cities in science fiction novels about future urban life.
Skyscrapers that pierce the clouds, ancient towering Great Wall, giant pyramids like mountains unyieldingly standing, energy obelisks radiating dim blue light...
Fully intelligent pipeline roads permeate the city, the thoughtfully arranged traffic by intelligent computers shuttle through, ensuring no accidents caused by unexpected events.
This is the interplay of the old and the modern, the fusion of technology and culture.
In this most modern and intelligent human capital, countless relics of ancient civilizations reside.
These are the pride of Superhuman Federation citizens and the treasures left by the entire civilization.
The light of energy bathes these stylistically varied ancient creations, giving the residents a feeling akin to stepping into a Fantasy World.
In the city’s central area, the Superhuman Federation Government is situated.
Next to it, the towering structure like a longsword piercing the ground is the legendary Ministry of Truth, even capable of judging S-Class Citizens.
"Today’s weather is quite nice... don’t you think, Jennifer?"
A black male wearing the standard black and blue uniform of the Superhuman Federation carried two cups of drinks made from unknown materials, eagerly greeting a white female beside him.
