Chapter 30 Everyone's Thoughts

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Wang Hailong was immediately stunned. Then he saw Li Chenzhou wave his hand towards the Star Destroyer Cannon. The Star Destroyer Cannon immediately began to flash, a sign that it was about to fire.

"No! Don't!"

Wang Hailong instantly broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, repeatedly saying:

"No need, no need, no need! Please don't fire it! I'll pay for the cost of these ten Star Destroyer Cannons, but you can keep the cannons yourself. Please don't fire them!"

"Are you sure you don't need to use the others? That wouldn't be good. It would make it seem like I'm robbing you. Maybe I shouldn't be so frugal!"

Li Chenzhou stopped the Star Destroyer Cannon and turned to look at Wang Hailong.

"No, no, no! It's not robbing, I'm willing to! Really, there's no need to use them!"

Wang Hailong shook his head frantically and said repeatedly. To prove it to Li Chenzhou, he immediately spoke into the communicator, asking his family members to send the mutated crystal cores as soon as possible!

Subsequently, he received a response from his family, and his face stiffened. He turned to look at the several councilors behind him.

"Everyone, because the family head wants to concentrate the crystal cores to purchase a war fortress, our Wang family doesn't have that many level-nine mutated crystal cores in Base Seven. We need a little support from you! Because there isn't enough time to transfer them from other bases!"

Hearing Wang Hailong's words, the other councilors' expressions were a bit stiff. They knew that the Wang family couldn't possibly have less than ten thousand mutated crystal cores in Base Seven.

The reason why Wang Hailong said this was actually to have them share the cost of these mutated crystal cores. After all, they had also called people over. It was impossible for the Wang family to bear the entire cost themselves.

If we're going to be robbed, let's be robbed together. With so many people here, why rob only me? That wouldn't be right!

Looking at the calm and composed Li Chenzhou, the other councilors had no choice but to nod. Then they all called their families. The large families contributed more, and the small families contributed less. In the end, they finally agreed on a ratio and gathered ten thousand level-nine mutated crystal cores!

The mutated crystal cores were quickly delivered, and Li Chenzhou unceremoniously collected them all. He even directly collected the Star Destroyer Cannon.

Once a Star Destroyer Cannon is fully charged, it cannot be canceled, and it cannot wait too long, because the energy is too great and extremely unstable, making it quite dangerous.

But that was for other people. For Li Chenzhou, as long as he put the Star Destroyer Cannon into the system space, then nothing would happen. The Star Destroyer Cannon would remain in that state until he took it out again!

Seeing Li Chenzhou easily put away the Star Destroyer Cannon, Wang Hailong's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to say anything. In case he questioned Li Chenzhou and that lord simply took it out and fired it at the base, he couldn't bear it.

He just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible, and then quickly go back and discuss with his family what to do next.

Li Chenzhou had already said that he would no longer trade with them, so the difficulty of obtaining a war fortress was undoubtedly greatly increased.

But as long as Li Chenzhou was still here, they had hope. After all, Li Chenzhou looked like an extremely greedy businessman, as could be seen from his blackmailing them for mutated crystal cores just now.

As long as he was greedy, it would be easy to handle. They could just give him more mutated crystal cores. They didn't believe they couldn't buy a war fortress. But the problem now was that they had to solve the export issue first!

Fortunately, there were so many councilors here. They had all participated in the matter, so the Wang family wouldn't have to bear it alone. In that case, the matter would be easily resolved. There was safety in numbers. With so many people involved, the speaker would have no choice!

Li Chenzhou, after collecting the Star Destroyer Cannon and the mutated crystal cores, looked at Wang Hailong and the others. Then he returned to the war chariot. Immediately afterwards, the war chariot started and left Base Seven through the tunnel opened by the Star Destroyer Cannon.

When looking at Wang Hailong and the others, although these people tried their best to hide it, Li Chenzhou still saw the deep-seated hatred in their eyes. However, Li Chenzhou didn't care. Now that he had exchanged for the war chariot, he didn't need to return to Base Seven in the future, so naturally he didn't need to fear them.

Moreover, Li Chenzhou had a big plan in his heart. But first, he had to take down Base Three completely with the 156th Special Operations Team! Now, naturally, he didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Hailong and the others.

"Damn it! These bastards in the council, our military sacrifices our lives to fight the Devourers, but every time we ask for military funds, it's like cutting their flesh. But Little Li took out this Star Destroyer Cannon and easily got ten thousand mutated crystal cores from them!"

After the war chariot drove out of the tunnel, Hu Tao gritted his teeth and cursed:

"These bastards, next time I ask for military funds, I'll have to buy a few Star Destroyer Cannons from Little Li first!"

"Hahahaha! General Hu, you can't use my method!"

Li Chenzhou couldn't help laughing:

"They think that I'm not from this world, so I would definitely fire the Star Destroyer Cannon. But if it were you, they wouldn't think so anymore!"

"I guess so!"

Hu Tao sighed, shook his head, and looked outside, his eyes somewhat dim.

Earlier, at the exit, although all the soldiers had been evacuated due to his order, so no military personnel were injured or killed when the Star Destroyer Cannon was fired.

But those servants who had been called over by Wang Hailong and other councilors were basically wiped out.

These people had nothing to do with Hu Tao, but after seeing those people die, no one cared at all, including Wang Hailong and the others. No one mentioned the deaths of these people.

What they cared about was only the number of crystal cores to be compensated and how to deal with the aftermath. As for those who died, in the eyes of Wang Hailong and the others, they were like ants. They died, so they died, and no one cared at all.

Hu Tao felt that, in the eyes of those high-ranking councilors and family children, their military warriors were no different from those servants who had just died under the Star Destroyer Cannon. They simply didn't treat them as human beings. They wouldn't care how many died!

Therefore, Hu Tao also had a sense of sadness for those servants.

"People are like this. Only by showing their own value will they be valued. Otherwise, no one will care about you at all!"

Li Chenzhou saw Hu Tao's depression, so he handed over the driving to Xiao Lu and came to Hu Tao's side and said:

"For example, me, if I didn't have a war fortress and evolution potions, you probably wouldn't care about me either!"

"But my soldiers are not worthless people. Without them, the base would not have been so safe all along!"

Hu Tao turned to look at Li Chenzhou:

"Do you know why we have always sent warriors out? It is to attract the attention of the Devourers. If they don't see humans outside, they will start searching wildly. Therefore, it is the sacrifice of our warriors that has kept the base from being discovered."

"But, in their opinion, anyone can do this kind of thing, so they don't think you are important!"

Li Chenzhou stared at Hu Tao and said...
