After the elevator stopped, Ye Nan looked up at Gu Xi and Gu Xi, walked out of the elevator door first, and walked to the highest meeting room of the headquarters deep underground.

Gu Xi said nothing and followed her out of the elevator door. Shen Yue followed her, touched his nose, and swept his eyes quietly along the underground corridor, finding that the guards here were much stricter than before.

There were even new faces that he had never seen before.

Gee.

You know, since he took over the defense of City A base, he knew that this was once the Liu family's base camp. For safety reasons, he cleaned up the interior several times, and even bloodbathed it... Finally, the entire command headquarters was firmly secured. The control is in your own hands.

It can be said that before this, the entire command was under his control.

But now, someone touched his cake.

As for the person who could reach out and touch his cake in this situation... Shen Yue's seemingly lazy but sharp eyes fell on the door of the highest conference room not far away.

At that time, Ye Nan, who was walking at the front, had already reached the door and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

It was Shen Zhennan's voice, as calm as ever, with the murderous aura of a post-apocalyptic iron-blooded soldier.

Ye Nan pushed the door open, and the people on the opposite side nodded in greeting, but they did not walk in first, but looked back at Gu Xi.

Just as Gu Xi was about to walk over, Shen Yue suddenly stepped forward quickly, holding her hand as if nothing had happened, and walked into the door of the conference room together.

Shen Zhennan was not the only one in the conference room, but also many senior military generals.

As soon as Gu Xi walked in, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere inside was extremely serious, even depressing. When several senior military generals sitting inside saw the two holding hands together, they all fell silent and also Don't know what to think.

"Here?" Shen Zhennan was the first to speak. He looked at the two of them. When his eyes fell on their connected hands, he paused slightly and said, "Sit down."

Shen Yue glanced at his old man, then held Gu Xi's hand as if nothing had happened, and sat down opposite the old man casually. He touched his chin with one hand and said lazily, "Sure enough, ginger is still hotter..."

It took him several months to build the City A headquarters, but it only took the old man less than a day to get it in his hands.

It's not that Shen Yue hasn't thought about this result. After all, most of the connections he can use come from the old man and the Shen family's connections.

And he knew very well that the most important reason why those people listened to him was not because he was Shen Yue, but because Shen Yue... was Shen Zhennan's only biological son.

It's just... Shen Yue lowered his eyes.

Gu Xi patted the back of his hand, and Shen Yue chuckled, hiding the deep meaning in his eyes, and stopped talking.

After Gu Xi comforted Shen Yue, she raised her head and looked across, "I think I need an explanation."

"It seems you already know." Shen Zhennan had a strange attitude towards her and a strange look on his face.

To be honest, Gu Xi, who had always been lacking in human sophistication, couldn't understand it, so she just listened to him and said, "You can tell me anything you need from us."

"We will fully cooperate with your actions."

Gu Xi frowned slightly, what did she need them to do?
Gee, is this the opposite of what you said?

At this time, Ye Nan, who had been silent since entering the door, spoke.

She looked up at Gu Xi and spoke in an unprecedentedly complicated tone, "My mother once said that no matter what your final choice is, they will always believe in you."

Gu Xi glanced at her in surprise, and then heard Shen Zhennan also speak: "You chose us back then, and I believe you still do so now."

After speaking, all the senior military generals in the conference room stood up and gave a military salute to Gu Xi.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room instantly became more solemn.

Gu Xi sat motionless. At this moment, no one knew what she was thinking.

"Miss Gu, there has been no news from the Death Swamp. He can't wait any longer." Ye Nan spoke again, her tone a little more urgent.

——So, you invited me here in this way?

Gu Xi glanced at everyone without saying anything, then turned to look at Shen Yue beside him, "What about you?"

Shen Yue shrugged, "I'm not involved in production, so of course I listen to the captain." He will eat whoever's bowl he brings, and he still understands this. "Shen Yue." Shen Zhennan frowned slightly and his tone was a little darker.

Shen Yue turned his head and met his father's eyes. There was no trace of anger at being taken advantage of by his own father. His face, which had always been calm, could even be said to be devoid of any excitement. He just looked at his father and calmly stated: "Gu Xi has his own The right to choose.”

- She never owes anyone anything!Protecting all mankind has never been her responsibility alone!
Shen Yue looked at his biological father calmly.

Shen Zhennan's frown deepened. He seemed not to have expected that one day his own son would hold him back.If I had known earlier...

At this moment, Gu Xi spoke:

“I am human, always have been, always have been, am still human, and will always be human.”

"I also know what you want me to do."

It's nothing more than using her to deal with Yun Ye.

With the strength Yun Ye has shown now, humans have no power to fight back.

Only she is their only chance of winning.

They longed for her abilities, but were afraid of her abilities, so that was the case then and it is the same now.

Gu Xi doesn't blame them.

For the sake of her family and friends, she had no intention of just sitting idly by.

only…….
"But you..." Gu Xi's calm gaze slowly swept over everyone present, "...it seems you don't want to kill him?"

After Gu Xi said this doubtful affirmation, the huge conference room suddenly fell into a strange silence.

At this moment, Ye Nan was very keenly aware that the atmosphere in the conference room had changed.

It was so quiet, so quiet that she seemed to only hear her own heartbeat.

“Bang”, “Bang”…….
Not just her, it seemed that at this moment, everyone's heartbeats were so heavy, so heavy that it seemed like something was about to rush out and swallow everything.

Ye Nan couldn't help but cast her eyes on Gu Xi.

She opened her mouth with difficulty, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, she suddenly understood the complicated mood her mother, Ms. Ye Xin, had when she mentioned Gu Xi at certain times...

Silence spread in this highest conference room.

Until...someone's casual laughter rang out.

"Tsk." Shen Yue raised his hand and knocked on the table in front of him, "I said," he looked up at the crowd, and his eyes finally fell on his biological father, "I just received some new information, how about, Can everyone take a look first?"

With that said, he didn't give everyone time to react, he directly opened his personal terminal, raised his hand and swiped to enlarge the light screen, and at the same time shared with everyone the latest news that Yang Chi had just sent.

Those are several pictures that are not very clear.

Shen Yue: "This is the satellite screenshot my people just intercepted through special channels."

He deliberately emphasized the words special channels.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, all the senior military generals on the side subconsciously looked at the pictures on the light screen.

Shen Yue selected one of these pictures and projected it on the big screen in the center of the conference room.

In the center of the screen, Ye Junhan's narrow and sharp gaze seemed to be looking at everyone. Behind him were mutant plants all over the mountains and plains, as well as several blurry figures hidden among the plants.

Shen Yue raised his hand a little further and looked up at everyone, "I guess Ye Junhan's special action this time was also arranged by you in advance, right?"

"Although I don't know when you arranged this in advance. I don't know how you had the confidence to do this, but..."

Shen Yue's eyes slowly swept over everyone present, "Haven't you ever thought that this might be a trap set by the other party in advance?"

Shen Zhennan raised his eyebrows, but instead of asking his son, he turned to look at Gu Xi: "Trap?"
