I'm A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 72: Lu Zhou’s New Speculation! (Seeking recommendations, collections, rewards, and comments)

Translator: 549690339

Plan 1: Carry out a exploratory attack using Battle Axe Cruise Missiles to gauge if the target can be harmed by the missiles…

Plan 2: Dispatch a suicide squad of Superpowereds with sufficient equipment to test the physical condition of the giant tiger…

Plan 3: Send War God Du Gang and Diamond King to cross swords with the giant tiger and see who’s tougher…

Plan 4: Try to feed the giant tiger with royal cat food, which contains addictive ingredients; worth a try…

Plan 5: Send planes to urgently bring a female tiger from the north, to lure the giant tiger away from its set route…

Plan 6: ..

Wang Dezhen looked at the plans his subordinates had come up with in just half an hour and was left speechless.

“I asked each of you to think of at least three plans, could you not be so perfunctory?”

Feeding cat food to such a massive tiger? What were they thinking?!!

Also, bringing a female tiger to lure it… I mean, given its size, could it even play happily with a female tiger now?

Everyone below, whether they were his two strategists or Li Yi, all maintained expressionless faces as if they hadn’t come up with these plans.

Li Yi sneered. He only thought of feeding it cat food. They were all felines after all. Wasn’t it reasonable to feed addictive cat food to a tiger?

As for outrageous plans, clearly, it was your subordinates who outdid themselves with that ‘lure with a female tiger’ idea. How dare they even write it…

Seeing Li Yi stealing glances at him, strategist Li Youcai was upset.

What are you looking at me for?

It was strategist Liu Xingyu who came up with the idea of luring with a female tiger!

Liu Xingyu, on the other hand, kept his gaze to himself, appearing as if he had nothing to do with any of this.

Wang Dezhen couldn’t be bothered to figure out who was messing with him anymore and turned to Zhuge Shui.

Seeing him with a vacant expression on his face, as if his mind was somewhere far away, Wang Dezhen became hopeful.

As expected, the national advisor is reliable. He’s probably thought of some brilliant strategy now, hasn’t he?

“Old Zhuge Shui, what do you think?”

At Wang Dezhen’s words, Zhuge Shui gradually came out of his thoughts and responded without hesitation, stroking his beard, he slowly said, “In my opinion, we should first try an exploratory missile attack to see its effectiveness, then decide how to proceed based on its impact…”

“Okay!”

Wang Dezhen immediately agreed, “Good. Let’s proceed as Old Shui suggested.

Bomb him with missiles first!”

Li Youcai wanted to say that he was the one who came up with this plan. But seeing Wang Dezhen leaving, he kept silent and followed him out, feeling frustrated.

The Command Center of Hua Nation in the Arctic Circle.

Yao Zhenguo was still staring at the live satellite images across Hua Nation.

“Old Shui, do you think we can win?”

After a long pause, he received no response; he turned his head to find Li Mingzhi staring at him with a baffled look.

“Old Yao, you sent Old Shui to Nanyuan!”

Yao Zhenguo suddenly remembered and slapped his own head, sighing, “I’m getting old and forgetful. It’s not my fault that old guy kept repeating what I said like a tape recorder…”

Bizarrely, he found himself missing Old Shui, the constant mutterer, now that he was gone.

After making sure it was actually Li Mingzhi, he asked, “Mingzhi, do you think we can win?”

‘Yes!”

Li Mingzhi asserted firmly, “Any adversity that does not destroy us, will make us stronger…”

Hearing this earnest statement, Yao Zhenguo couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholy; he sort of regretted sending Zhuge Shui away.

After darkness fell, spatial channels reappeared all over the world.

After two rounds of consolidation, the number of spatial channels that emerged had significantly decreased, but the diameter of the spatial channels was continuously growing.

The nearest spatial channel to Luo An City was three kilometers away from the survivor base of Dawn City in Nanyuan, in an open space to the south of the city.

Apart from Du Gang, who had transformed into a giant and left the safe zone to bother the Golden Beetles, everyone else in the base had basically settled down.

After several days of continuous battle, many soldiers were exhausted. They seized the rare opportunity to get some rest, and soon the sound of snoring reverberated throughout the camp.

Wang Dezhen knew the state of his troops well, and didn’t insist they keep going. Instead, he walked around the camp with Zhuge Shui.

“Master Shui, how is the south? Are you uncomfortable living there?”

Zhuge Shui smiled, “No, it is not. The north is too cold, the temperature here in the south is just right…”

Wang Dezhen nodded. They chatted a bit more before he finally ventured, “Master Shui, you are a outstanding thinker, the wisdom of my Hua Nation… If you have anything to say, just say it. Just like how it was with Old Yao, you’re free to speak your mind here…”

He felt that everything Zhuge Shui was saying was just perfunctory, as if he was trying to gauge his intentions.

For a wise man to spend his time gauging the attitude of a superior was considered a waste of time, so he spoke his mind with the hope that Master Shui could assist him well..

Zhuge Shui coughed lightly and nodded, “Nothing much, I just miss Old Yao.

Don’t worry, I will adapt quickly and will treat you just as I did with Old Yao!”

Wang Dezhen was satisfied, he nodded and said, “Rest assured, Master Shui, I have no other intentions, we are all working for the sake of this country and its people… ”

Zhuge Shui sighed and said, “Yes, we are all working for the sake of this country and its people…”

Outside the Arctic Circle, a research center stands.

At this moment, Lu Zhou is observing some Black Beetles, his brow furrowed.

At a glance, these Black Beetles do not seem particularly different from the Black Beetles, but every thirty minutes, their legs begin to tremble and twitch unnaturally.

A young researcher asks, “Vice Director, what is the purpose of watching these

Black Beetles here?”

His name is Wang Qi, an intern researcher under Lu Zhou.

He did not understand why Lu Zhou, who had just been promoted from director to vice director, would spend so much time observing Black Beetles.

Lu Zhou’s brows furrowed deeper, but he did not respond to him.

Wang Qi continued, “Vice Director Yang Rui has already begun studying the

Golden Beetles. Are you sure you still want to waste time on the Black Beetles?”

After hearing these words, Lu Zhou glanced at him and shook his head, “Studying the Golden Beetles is a task for ordinary researchers. The most difficult task is to extract valuable information from these ordinary beetles.”

Wang Qi asked, “Professor Lu, have you discovered anything?”

Lu Zhou nodded and sighed, “I really hope what I discovered is not real!”

He paused, then continued, “I bred these Black Beetles in three different environments…”

“The Black Beetles from within the Arctic Circle have basically not changed.

They are not dead but have been in a state of false death, never waking up…”

“We are currently outside the Arctic Circle, in an area where the days are long and the nights short. These Black Beetles tremble unconsciously every thirty minutes…”

“Also, inside the Hua Nation, I have arranged for people to conduct the same observation experiment at the Remote Research Center. Their reported time is 25 minutes…”

Realizing something was amiss as there was a time difference, Wang Qi was stunned and said, “This situation implies…”

Lu Zhou calmly interrupted, “Don’t rush, I am not finished. Yesterday, the report from the Remote Research Center inside the Hua Nation was 27 minutes, while here it was 32 minutes…”

Wang Qi stared in disbelief, “How is this possible? This is in the presence of the sun…”

Lu Zhou nodded, “That’s the nature of science, constantly shattering our understanding of the world…”

He looked up, and said, “I hypothesize that fourteen days from now, the beetles within the Hua Nation will start to wake up during the day…”

“These beetles are slowly adapting to the sun!”

After all, they are not truly made up of dark matter, they have just been in a dark matter environment for a protracted period… When they are thoroughly adapted to Earth.

“That will be the true end of days!”
