"That’s just the kind of decision Boss Liu would make."
Lin Yi tugged the fishing rod, but there was no fish on the hook.
He reset the bait and cast it into the reservoir again.
"What did you do with those scriptures I brought back?"
"We kept the ones you brought back earlier, and left the rest to them."
"Isn’t this purely stealing the fruits of revolution."
Lin Yi said with an amused frustration:
"The ideas we ca up with were ultimately used by them."
"There’s no choice. If they expand further, the power Elder Lu wields will be too great," Ning Che said:
"If you think about it, it’s actually a form of protection for Elder Lu."
"I understand your point." Lin Yi said calmly:
"How are things arranged over there?"
"They’ve recruited a few people, instructors are forr mbers of the Central Guards Brigade, all either injured or retired due to age."
"I hope they can get so results."
"You might think that way, but they might not."
"What do you an?"
"The world surveillance tasks have also been assigned to them."
"Hmm?"
Lin Yi looked at Ning Che, "To form a systematic combat force would take at least ten years, and they want to get involved now?"
"That’s why I’m saying, they might not do as you think."
"And what about us?"
"Let’s just go with the flow, or investigate ourselves. According to Boss Liu, we don’t need to be too concerned about them, just do our own thing in the future."
"The old man didn’t have much energy or spirit to begin with, and now with this, he has even less interest."
Lin Yi looked at the calm lake, as if talking to himself:
"Maybe one day, in a mont of desperation, I’ll just retire."
"Let’s hope the old man holds on for a few more years," Ning Che said:
"I discussed it with Yuluo in private, at this stage, no one but the old man can manage the Central Guards Brigade."
"Without him, the Central Guards Brigade is just a loose sand pile."
"Alright, let’s not talk about this, let’s discuss sothing else," Lin Yi said:
"Now that you’re back, does it an there’s a new task?"
Ning Che looked at Lin Yi, serious expression, "Death Hill, Mohenjo-Daro."
Lin Yi was intrigued, "If I rember correctly, that place seems to be over with Ah San."
"According to historians’ analysis, thousands of years ago, it was once a city. Due to a nuclear explosion, everyone inside died, turning it into what is now the Mohenjo-Daro ruins."
"Nuclear explosion?"
Lin Yi had only heard the na, knowing it’s an unresearched ruin, but didn’t know the specifics.
"It’s assud to be a nuclear explosion," Ning Che said:
"Countless skeletons are scattered in every corner of the streets, and the center of the ruins is the most damaged, the severity decreasing outward, and the death characteristics of the skeletons are consistent with high temperature death."
"That doesn’t necessarily confirm it’s a nuclear explosion."
"But within the ruins, a lot of material made from clay and sand conglorates were found. After testing, it turned out to be Tuliniti Material, which was first discovered after the explosion of the first atomic bomb, where it turned desert sand into this material."
"So they deduce that nuclear weapons might exist there?"
"It’s all speculation, no one can confirm it," Ning Che said:
"Even now, no one can figure out what happened with Mohenjo-Daro."
"Where did you get this information?"
"Didn’t you capture three mbers of Mammon before? We got it out of them."
"Have to say, Mammon is sothing else indeed."
"So this gives us a new perspective. We can check out all those odd places around the world," Ning Che said with a smile:
"Maybe, like a blind cat bumping into a dead rat, we’ll find sothing different."
"But isn’t this none of our business?"
"Though it’s not our concern, we can start by gathering information," Ning Che said:
"The information Dragon Eagle holds is essentially sourced from us. Once we cut off this intelligence, they’re blind and can’t do anything."
"But their steps aren’t exactly small."
"New officials always want to take on everything big, that’s normal."
Lin Yi lifted the fishing rod, a small fish the size of a palm was hooked, he took it off and put it in the fish basket.
He reset the bait and cast out again.
"Have you made any predictions about Mohenjo-Daro, what might be there?"
"Their prediction is also nuclear explosion, or sothing similar to it."
"I still find it a bit far-fetched."
"It’s not that far-fetched. Years ago on Tilia Island, we found a nuclear reactor, albeit a bit crude."
Lin Yi scratched his head, he had heard Liang Xianghe talk about this before.
"So the analysis is that it might be a result of a nuclear explosion? That things were moved from the island?"
"That’s correct, but it’s still speculation."
"But that’s not the main point," Lin Yi said:
"Even if it’s a nuclear explosion, or sothing created by immortals, it has nothing to do with us. The main point is, is there anything there we can use, any predictions about this aspect?"
"They only ntioned the next plan involves Mohenjo-Daro, but aren’t aware of the mission details, as they’re not of a high rank," Ning Che said:
"The brigade speculates there might be so materials or ancient texts there."
After a pause, Ning Che continued:
"Also, your previous guess was adopted by the brigade, with predictions of possible signs of native life."
"When will the action take place?"
"Groups Two and Four are already preparing, they might leave in the next few days, we’ll stay here on standby."
Lin Yi nodded, "What about you, what are your plans during this ti?"
"Travel, I guess."
Ning Che sighed, looking at the calm lake surface said:
"I want to find a place with beautiful mountains and water to stay a few days."
"When I used to farm, I had a house in Happiness Village, why don’t you stay there for a few days? The city doesn’t suit you."
"I’m not going, I wouldn’t get used to living there," Ning Che said disdainfully:
"Better stay in a scenic area for a while."
"Then go to Longhu Mountain or Wudang Mountain," Lin Yi said:
"Longhu Mountain is my territory, and I’m on good terms with the head of Wudang Mountain, we’ve built a bit of a relationship, you could stay there for a few days."
"That sounds like a good idea," Ning Che said:
"I just want to go sowhere with nice scenery and so peace."
"Think about it, and let know when you decide, I’ll make the arrangents for you."
"Alright."
Lin Yi cast the fishing rod again and reeled in another fish.
"You’re probably hungry for there’s no lunch yet, I’ll cook you so fish soup."
"Just fish soup?"
"I’ll stew you another fish."
"That’s not enough, we’ve got two mouths to feed."
