Chapter 264 China's Decision, Contact Begins
The mushrooms melt in your mouth.
A pure and gentle energy, indescribable in words, exploded in his mouth in an instant, then transformed into a warm current that flowed down his throat and into his limbs and bones.
Captain Dragon Fang felt every cell in his body cheering and jumping for joy.
The internal injuries sustained in the previous battle were instantly healed by this warm current.
His bottleneck, which had already touched the threshold of "hidden strength" but had been unable to break through for a long time, actually showed a slight loosening!
This...this is such an amazing effect!
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at He Yuzhu, his eyes filled with shock and horror.
What kind of "dish" is this?
This is clearly a legendary elixir!
This "cook" was able to use a living Grandmaster of Internal Energy as a "medicinal ingredient" to cook up such a miraculous dish!
What an incredible and audacious method!
This is no longer in the category of "martial arts," it's practically "divine arts"!
"How...how does it taste?" He Yuzhu asked honestly, looking at his ghost-like expression.
"So...delicious! No, it's...it's..." Captain Dragon Fang stammered, unable to find a suitable word to describe his feelings at that moment.
In the end, all he could do was bow deeply to He Yu-zhu.
"Thank you so much, senior, for granting me this opportunity!"
He bowed with complete sincerity and admiration.
He knew that the mushroom he had just eaten was priceless! Enough to drive any martial artist with internal energy mad!
He Yuzhu waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, it's just a meal, no need for this."
He glanced at the mercenaries who had already devoured the "side dishes" and were now sitting cross-legged on the ground, refining the medicinal power, and then looked at Hans, who had completely passed out on the ground.
"Alright, I've eaten, and I'm exhausted. There's nothing more for me to do here."
He clapped his hands, slung his bamboo basket over his shoulder, and prepared to leave.
"Senior! Please wait!"
Seeing this, Captain Longya quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
His expression became extremely serious and solemn.
"Senior, I have something important to report to you!"
"Oh?" He Yuzhu stopped and looked at him with some surprise.
Captain Longya took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and then, in the most concise language, told He Yuzhu about the "lunar anomaly" that had just occurred, the reactions of various countries around the world, and the movements of the "Divine Court Guards."
Finally, he looked at He Yuzhu and said sincerely:
"Senior, in the name of a Chinese soldier, I assure you that we, and the country behind us, harbor absolutely no ill will towards you or the man behind you!"
"We just... want to have an equal dialogue."
"Now, Earth may be facing an unprecedented crisis from the stars above us. We, the Chinese people, are willing to stand with you, sir, to jointly protect this home on which we depend for survival!"
His voice was strong and resonant.
This was his personal request, but it was also the most significant decision made by the great nation with 1.4 billion people behind him!
Faced with an unknown force capable of destroying the world, they chose neither confrontation nor suspicion.
They chose... trust!
Trust the mysterious "Mr." who single-handedly created the new era order!
After hearing his words, He Yuzhu's simple and honest smile slowly faded.
He was silent for a moment.
He was just a cook.
Mr. Lin's task for him was to take charge of the "Divine Chef's Hall" and establish rules for all kinds of rare and precious materials.
As for aliens or world crises, that's none of his business.
That's a headache for the master and his men, who specialize in fighting.
However, Captain Longya's words touched him.
Especially the phrase "Let's work together to protect this home we depend on for survival".
Before becoming the "Master of the Divine Chef's Hall," He Yuzhu was first and foremost a Chinese.
This land gave him birth and nurtured him.
Although he had severed all ties with that courtyard house filled with grudges and entanglements, he could not truly sever his ties with this country and this land.
"I see."
After a long while, He Yuzhu nodded and slowly said.
"I will find a way to deliver your message to the master."
"As for whether the master will see you or not, that is not something I can decide."
Upon hearing this, Captain Longya was overjoyed!
"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!" He bowed repeatedly, deeply moved.
He knew he had made the right bet!
This seemingly ruthless and unpredictable senior still harbors deep feelings for this land!
"Alright, you guys should hurry down the mountain too." He Yuzhu waved his hand. "Get that woman and that little flower back safely. As for these people on the ground..."
He glanced at the mercenaries who were still meditating, and at the unconscious Hans.
"I've crippled their cultivation. Their tendons and ligaments are only temporarily reattached. Within three months, they'll completely atrophy and become true cripples. You can decide what to do with them yourselves."
After saying that, he didn't linger, turned around and walked into the depths of the dense forest, and soon disappeared.
Captain Longya watched his disappearing figure and let out a long sigh.
He felt that today's events were more exciting than all the missions he had carried out in the past ten years combined.
"Captain... what do we do now?" a team member stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Captain Dragon Fang snapped out of his daze, glanced at the "spoils of war" on the ground, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
"Contact headquarters immediately! Request helicopter support!"
"Get Dr. Li and Seven-Colored Violet out of here immediately! Level A encryption!"
"Capture all these people on the ground alive! Take them back! Each and every one of them is an invaluable research sample! Especially Hans; the residual energy within his body is of immeasurable value for our research on the Transformation of Internal Energy!"
"And one more thing!" He paused, his voice becoming extremely serious, "Immediately compile your conversation with Senior He Yuzhu into a top-secret document, verbatim, and submit it directly to Minister Li Zhenguo!"
"Tell the minister that contact... has already begun!"
"The future of China, and even the future of all humanity, may depend on the next thought of that mysterious 'gentleman'!"
……
Beijing, Command Center No. 1.
When Li Zhenguo received the report marked "Top Secret" from the front lines in Shennongjia, he was completely stunned.
The report was very brief.
But every word was like a bombshell, exploding in his mind.
"Target: 'Master Chef', contact confirmed."
"Strength assessment: Unfathomable, possibly at the level of a celestial being or god."
"Ability: Unknown, suspected to be related to 'cooking' and 'esophagus'. Can use living masters as 'ingredients' to cook into 'miracle pills'. Consuming them can increase cultivation and heal internal and external injuries."
"Attitude: China's position has been stated, and the other party has agreed. Please convey the message to 'Sir' on their behalf."
Li Zhenguo felt a chill run down his spine as he read the description of the "master chef".
What is wrong with this world?
First, a Taoist patriarch emerged from the Kunlun Mountains, whose words became law and who could turn stones into bears.
Again, over New York, two guards claiming to be gods appeared, absorbing plasma cannons with their bare hands.
Now, in Shennongjia, another chef has emerged who can turn a master of martial arts into a "teppanyaki" (a type of grilled dish).
Moreover, they were all just subordinates of that mysterious "Mr."
Just how great and indescribable is this "sir"?
Li Zhenguo dared not think any further.
All he knew was that China had made the most correct decision in its history.
In the face of absolute power, any attempt to test or confront is foolish.
Only through cooperation, and by demonstrating sufficient sincerity and respect, can we possibly secure a glimmer of hope for our country and nation.
"Continue to monitor global developments!" Li Zhenguo took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "Especially Antarctica! The movements of the 'Divine Guard' are our focus!"
"Furthermore, issue a notification that all personnel associated with 'Mr.', including observation posts around Kunlun and intelligence ships in the Bermuda Triangle, should switch to 'friendly observation' mode!"
"From now on, we are not surveillance officers, we are... students!"
"What we need to learn is how to survive in this new world where gods have descended!"
