Chapter 621 Agreed
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the high priest. He did not expect that humans would make concessions so quickly, especially when it came to such a crucial matter as land.
He knew that for humans, territory meant more than just a piece of land.
Territory symbolized sovereignty, resources, and the blood, sweat, and memory of countless generations.
Especially resources!
The high priest's silence lasted for a moment, and his eyes became complicated, as if he was re-evaluating the value and intentions of these humans in front of him.
The Deep Divers have always been known for their wisdom, and their understanding of humans is far deeper than humans imagine.
The high priest knew that human history was full of struggles and changes, and every loss of territory was accompanied by pain and struggle.
However, now these humans are willing to cede part of the land. Does this mean that they have really learned something in this crisis?
The doubts in the high priest's heart were like a whirlpool on the seabed, unfathomable.
He slowly raised his head, and his deep eyes looked directly at the supreme commander, as if he wanted to see through his eyes into the depths of his soul.
"Are you humans really willing to make such a sacrifice?"
The high priest's voice was deep and powerful, and every word was like an echo from the abyss of the seabed.
The supreme commander did not hesitate at all, and his eyes were firm.
"We are willing to use this method to prove our sincerity and determination. We also hope that this mistake can become an opportunity for our common progress."
The high priest was silent.
It turned its eyes to the other team members in the submarine, and each of them had determination and expectations on their faces.
It was related to the survival of their own homes and all their compatriots.
At this time, everyone on the scene held the purest and purest emotions in their hearts.
In the end, the high priest nodded slowly, indicating that he accepted the human proposal.
"We, the deep divers, are willing to accept your sincerity."
There was a hint of unnoticeable relaxation in the high priest's voice. Maybe he was also worried that humans would die.
"But we also have our principles. We will sign an agreement to ensure that this land will not be used to fight against us. At the same time, we are willing to share some of our knowledge and technology with you, so that this mistake will become the starting point for our common growth."
Great!
Unexpectedly, the other party was willing to share some of their knowledge reserves!
The atmosphere in the submarine eased a lot, and the team members showed relieved smiles on their faces.
They knew that this was not only the resolution of a crisis, but also a new beginning between humans and deep divers.
The Supreme Commander bowed deeply and thanked the high priest.
"We will keep our promise, not only for ourselves, but also for the future of this world."
The high priest nodded again, and his eyes passed through the steel barriers of the submarine.
It seemed that he had seen the future world, a world where humans and deep divers coexist harmoniously.
The air in the nuclear submarine became thinner and thinner, and every breath seemed to be exhausting all his strength.
The remaining team members were pale, and the light in their eyes was almost extinguished. They knew that their fate was no longer in their own hands.
The Supreme Commander's face was full of ravines, and his eyes flashed with a firm and helpless light.
He had long known that there was no turning back for their trip.
Their physiological limits had almost reached the critical point, and it was impossible to return to land again.
Now they can only fix the nuclear submarine in the current position, otherwise any change in pressure will cause a fatal blow to them.
He turned to the remaining team members, his voice was weak, but he tried to remain firm.
"We have no way out, but our sacrifice will build a bridge of peace between humans and deep divers. Our names will be engraved on the stone tablet of history and become the cornerstone of the future world."
Although the team members were powerless, they found a little comfort in the words of the supreme commander.
The surviving team members supported each other, used up their last strength, and nodded to show understanding and acceptance.
The high priest looked at this scene, and a strange emotion actually arose in his heart.
These fragile life forms, with hair and pupils of various colors, obviously did not come from the same country.
But even at the last moment of their lives, they still insisted on their beliefs and commitments, which was a scene they had never seen in a long time.
Perhaps this is why humans can survive to the extreme!
Even though there are constant infighting, when they face a unified threat, they can burst out with unparalleled synergy.
It slowly walked in front of the Supreme Commander and spoke in its powerful voice.
"You are not doomed, although your bodies have reached a limit and cannot withstand any changes in pressure."
The voice of the high priest echoed in the confined space of the nuclear submarine, with a hint of mysterious fluctuations.
"But our deep divers have a way to get you back to land."
The high priest continued, his eyes flashing with the light of the deep sea, which is a deep and mysterious power.
What?
They still have hope of returning alive? !
The Supreme Commander's heart was filled with excitement, and his throat was a little choked, but he suppressed his emotions and asked steadily.
"Excuse me, High Priest, what can you do?"
The High Priest did not answer immediately, but stretched out his palm, with a blue light flashing in his palm.
The light gradually spread and formed an object similar to a crystal ball. The crystal ball seemed to contain the essence of the ocean, sparkling, beautiful and mysterious.
"This is the life bead condensed by our deep divers with their own power. It can temporarily protect your body and resist the pressure of the deep sea."
The High Priest explained, and with a light touch of his finger, the life bead slowly floated towards the Supreme Commander.
The Supreme Commander reached out to take the life bead, and felt a warm and powerful force pouring into his body.
His fatigue and weakness seemed to be relieved at this moment.
The team members saw this scene and showed a look of hope.
They knew that this might be their only chance of survival.
The High Priest continued.
"Each of you needs such a life bead, which will protect you until you return to land safely."
As the High Priest's words fell, more deep divers gradually emerged from the darkness behind him.
The expressions of these deep divers ranged from disdain to relief, hatred, and entanglement.
The deep divers were also divided into different factions, and they had just had a heated discussion on whether to exterminate all humans.
Now that the results were out, some of the war factions were naturally unhappy.
Some of the deep divers also held glowing beads of life in their hands, and they handed them to each team member.
The team members took the beads of life one by one, and their bodies began to gradually recover their vitality, their faces turned from pale to ruddy, and the light in their eyes was rekindled.
The supreme commander looked at all this, and his heart was full of gratitude.
He knew that without the help of the deep divers, they could not escape the fate of death.
"We will always remember your help, high priest."
The supreme commander said affectionately, his voice choked again, but this time it was because of being moved.
The high priest nodded slightly, and his eyes revealed a kind of deep sea wisdom.
"I hope you humans can remember this lesson."
In this way, with the help of the deep divers, the living team members began their journey back to land.
Jiang Xiao stood in the observation room of the Shanghai-Hong Kong base, holding the communicator tightly in his hand, and the shock in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
His eyes penetrated the heavy glass window and stared at the turbulent sea outside, as if trying to find the trace of the nuclear submarine in the dark and deep water.
When the problem was solved so easily, he could hardly believe it.
The deep diver was willing to lend a hand, not only accepting the concessions of humans, but also providing the pearl of life, giving those team members who were on the verge of despair a glimmer of hope.
Jiang Xiao's heart was full of complex emotions.
To put it bluntly, he was also one of the planners of this operation and was well aware of the risks and sacrifices involved.
Everyone was prepared for the worst outcome, but now, everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.
He sighed softly and put the communicator close to his ear, trying to capture more information from it.
The voice of the supreme commander came from the communicator, although weak, but full of determination and hope.
"We are about to start our journey back to land. Thank you for your support and trust. Please tell everyone that we will be able to go home soon."
Jiang Xiao's mouth unconsciously raised a smile. He knew how much joy this news would cause when it was passed back to Blue Star.
However, his smile suddenly stopped.
He realized that although the crisis seemed to have been alleviated, the relationship between the deep divers and humans was still full of unknowns and challenges.
Just as Jiang Xiao's thoughts were wandering in this complex emotion, a vague figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The high priest!
No, to be precise, it was the projection of the high priest?
Its appearance did not attract the attention of the people around, as if it was only visible to Jiang Xiao.
The high priest's eyes revealed a deep wisdom, and its voice sounded in Jiang Xiao's mind, without the vibration of sound waves, but very clear.
"Mozi, you seem to have doubts about our goodwill."
Jiang Xiao was shocked. He did not express his doubts to the outside world. How could the high priest know?
"Don't be nervous, we can communicate through consciousness, you don't need to open your mouth."
"In fact, we deep divers are not unconditionally easy to talk to." The high priest continued: "This time we really hope to coexist peacefully, because we don't want to face the hot and hot military threats of humans."
A flash of enlightenment flashed through Jiang Xiao's mind.
Indeed, if the deep divers decide to use the power of God to destroy everything of mankind, then humans will never sit and wait for death.
They will take the final means, even if they will perish together with the deep divers.
Therefore, solving this problem peacefully and asking for more compensation is the real result that a wise man wants.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the deep divers cannot completely control the power of God.
They can only do some appropriate guidance.
In their records, Lord Cthulhu has long fallen into a deep sleep, and all the feedback to the outside world is just a thought.
And the deep divers give the sleeping Cthulhu enough psychological hints through the altar.
"You said so much to me, aren't you afraid that I will turn around and tell humans and stab you deep divers in the back?"
The high priest shook his head and looked at Jiang Xiao's expression getting weirder and weirder.
"You are a devil, how could you turn against humans? Touching your own conscience, do you really want this disaster to end?"
Jiang Xiao was silent, and the high priest continued.
"Actually, in your heart, you really want us deep divers to have a big fight with humans, right? In this case, you will feel very happy and exciting, right?"
Jiang Xiao:.
In fact, he did have a little bit of this idea.
But deep down in his heart, he did not want this kind of racial war to happen in front of him.
Because in this case, it is really possible to "wake up" the sleeping Cthulhu.
If this is true, it will not only affect the world of ghost stories, but even Blue Star may suffer backlash.
After staring at Jiang Xiao for so long, the high priest suddenly chuckled.
Needless to say, its majestic smile really disgusted Jiang Xiao.
"I didn't expect that, Demon, you have really changed. In my impression, you are obviously a pervert with no inhibitions, and your mental state is also very crazy. Now you are..."
Jiang Xiao looked directly at it, and the high priest shook his head.
"It's become boring, but it has a different flavor."
"I really can't understand why you call me a devil with one mouthful?"
"Do you consider yourself human?"
Jiang Xiao finally managed not to laugh angrily at the other party's question.
"Watma is not a human, is he a deep diver?!"
"No, no, no, no." The high priest waved his hand to deny: "I mean, is it possible that you are actually a weirdo from a fundamental perspective?"
Am I weird?
I remember the consequences correctly, Pennywise also said similar words to Jiang Xiao before.
"Yes, think about it carefully. Every time you enter a ghost story, does it feel like going home? Or, are some of your good friends mostly weird or human?"
Killer!
Not only are they mostly weird, Jiang Xiao’s wife and children were all found in ghost stories.
But after all this time, he didn't feel anything was wrong?
Any normal human being would not accept this kind of thing about being a father, right?
Jiang Xiao fell into deep thought, and the high priest did not disturb him for a while.
"But you don't need to worry. At the very least, your body is human, and you are becoming more and more like a normal human being."
"Why are you telling me so much?"
Jiang Xiao was thankful that he was the only one who could see the current high priest, and the two communicated through their souls.
Otherwise, someone will have to set the pace in the live broadcast room.
"Because we had a chance encounter once upon a time."
ha?
see once?
Jiang Xiao knows that the life span of a deep diver is extremely long, almost immortal. This guy is already a high priest. Who knows how long he has lived?
"How should I put it? You are in good condition now and can enjoy life. However, your shortcomings are also obvious. You are not very good at fighting. You will never reach the peak of Mako."
Mako
Mako
These two words lingered in Jiang Xiao's heart like a curse.
Suddenly, he remembered that Mu Xitang had received an encrypted message on the mobile phone he brought out from the ghost story.
It seems to be called Project X?
There seems to be some mention of the birth of a devil or something?
