Chapter 498 The Truth Hu Zheng Saw
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiao, who had been relatively unknown, lost his composure.
He rushed forward at lightning speed and kicked Hu Zheng over before he could react.
Lu Youyou seized the opportunity to snatch the calming potion from Hu Jingjing's hand, uncorked it, and poured it into Hu Zheng's mouth.
Hu Jingjing stood to the side, so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Are humans really that amazing now?
At first, Hu Zheng struggled fiercely.
After accidentally swallowing a few drops of tranquilizer, the struggle gradually subsided.
After the entire vial of medicine was finished, Hu Zheng collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Hu Jingjing snapped out of her daze and ran to Hu Zheng's side to squat down.
"Grandfather, how are you? You're not dead, are you?"
Hu Zheng stretched out his hand, trembling.
"I remember now, I remember everything, I don't want to live anymore."
"Haha, you know the things you do when you're crazy aren't good!"
While laughing, Hu Jingjing started to cry.
From carefully wiping away her tears to throwing herself on Hu Zheng's body and wailing uncontrollably.
The sound was very harsh.
This was a psychological attack on Lu Youyou and Wang Qiao.
She wiped away the blood from her nose, and although she really didn't want to interrupt their sweet moment, she still spoke up.
"Hu Jingjing, give me the address of Thief Planet."
Hu Jingjing stopped crying, her eyes were red, but her tone was firm.
“No, you saved Grandfather’s life, which means you saved the entire Butterfly family. I can’t watch you go to your death.”
“I’m not going to my death. I have 100,000 Royal Guards.”
"Pfft!"
Noticing Wang Qiao's unfriendly gaze, Hu Jingjing suppressed a laugh.
“My lord, Wang Xing used to be inhabited only by the previous lord and a group of robots. It was only after you brought your friends that other life appeared.”
"The 100,000 guards you mentioned, are they offensive robots? Didn't you test them before? Offensive robots can have their code modified by thieves, they're unreliable."
Lu Youyou smiled and pulled up a screen to show Hu Jingjing the contract she had signed with the humans in the survival world.
When you see the first one.
Hu Jingjing tried to coax Lu Youyou away from her idea, just like she was coaxing a child.
"Your Excellency is indeed wise, having thought of seeking help from humans. However, the strength of one human is still too weak, and you still cannot personally participate in the battle."
When you see the hundredth one.
"It seems that you have a good reputation among humans, as you were able to gather so many friends to help you."
When you see the ten thousandth one.
She was a little dazed.
"My lord... do you have so many friends? More than the members of the butterfly family."
When she saw the 100,000th one, Hu Jingjing was completely speechless.
"Sir, did these humans sign this agreement voluntarily?"
"Hey, that's enough!" Hu Zheng interrupted Hu Jingjing, his voice gruff, "Are you implying that the adults forced humans?"
Hu Jingjing said, looking aggrieved, "No, I was just afraid that if the anger accumulated by those humans increased, it would be bad for the adults."
"No, Jingjing, you've never been with humans, so you don't know how powerful they are. When I was young, I followed my predecessor in his campaigns, and back then, he only had the strength of 50,000 humans."
Hu Jingjing was still worried: "Since humans are so strong, what if they don't want to be loyal to you anymore?"
"Isn't there a contract? The previous master was betrayed by humans and injured his body, which is why he transformed from a fanatical warmonger into a scientist and invented a series of things that regulate human behavior, such as the contract."
Hearing this, Lu Youyou interrupted shyly.
"Was the adult's health deteriorated before he became a scientist? Not because of Wei Tianning?"
Upon hearing Wei Tianning's name, Hu Zheng scoffed.
"He's just a brat, yet he dares to try and harm an adult. Does he even deserve it? Wei Tianning did try to harm the adult, but the adult saw through his plan, although the adult also fell for it."
Lu Youyou's face twisted in confusion.
"Why?"
Hu Zheng sighed.
"The master's body is weakened, but the enemy has been completely annihilated. We don't know what kind of poison he was poisoned by, so we can't research an antidote."
"The advanced panacea he later developed was his last hope, but it still couldn't cure him."
"The master said that if he cannot live, he should die with value. So when Wei Tianning tried to poison him to seize the master's position, the master let Wei Tianning succeed."
Lu Youyou was even more confused.
"If Wei Tianning succeeds, will your death have been worthwhile?"
Hu Zheng smiled as he looked at Lu Youyou, but his eyes were full of tears.
"Your ability to summon 100,000 Royal Guards is worth the cost of your death, sir."
A slap in the face!
These words not only reached Lu Youyou's ears, but also struck her heart.
She understood the adults' good intentions.
Because his health is failing, he needs to pave the way for his successor.
They allowed Wei Tianning to become evil and powerful step by step, and then had his chosen successor kill Wei Tianning.
In this way, the heir gained the support of many people.
She didn't know when the adults had chosen her, but she successfully enjoyed the fruits of their hard work.
"Sir, is there anything else you would like to ask?"
Hu Zheng pointed to the sky: "It's getting late, you should head back as soon as possible. Space thieves prefer to commit crimes at night."
Lu Youyou's thoughts were difficult to grasp, and her mind was a complete mess.
But her mouth moved faster than her brain, and she asked the question she couldn't understand.
"If the baby hadn't turned herself to stone, and the power within her had exploded, would humanity have truly perished?"
Hu Zheng laughed heartily, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"How is that possible? If the adults planned everything and still caused the extinction of all humanity, then why did they specifically create a trial planet on a barren planet? Oh, the trial planet is what you call the survival world."
“Innocent people may be sacrificed on the road to choosing an heir, but the Master will not allow all innocent people to be sacrificed. Zhang Niannian is the Master’s subordinate. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
"Everything you see is what the adults make you see. Behind what you can't see, all the monsters are under the adults' control. Monsters are rewarded based on their contributions to humanity, not on how many people they have eaten."
"Just remember, once you are chosen by the adults, you will not die. All the hardships you experience are the adults paving the way for you."
Lu Youyou stood still, and after a long pause, she finally managed to say, "Then thank you, Lord Zheng Chun."
She had a lot to say.
She felt sorry for the innocent people who died, and she also felt sorry for those who lost their normal lives and were left to suffer alongside them...
No matter what you say, it can't change the fact that she is the beneficiary.
All her emotions would turn into the arrogant and condescending attitude of those who benefit from the status quo.
Hu Zheng seemed to sense Lu Youyou's emotions and sighed softly.
“Sir is right. You are indeed a kind person. It seems I have to tell you the truth, otherwise you won’t be able to get over this.”
"Do you really think the adults would be so heartless as to transplant the entire population of an entire planet to survive, just to choose an heir who satisfies him in every way?"
