Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Even in this secret stone house deep in Leyou Mansion, Mr. Liang did not feel safe at all.

After learning about the hydrogen clan's "reunification" plan, he almost collapsed.

However, Pierce didn't respond seriously until he had vented his emotions.

"Master Liang, I understand your frustration, but don't worry, the previous investment will not be in vain. We have twelve teams, and we can let the twelve apostles be the captains..."

At this point, Pierce glanced at Zhong Chenmu and said, "As for Captain Zhong, he can choose to add his advance team to any apostle's team."

Zhong Chenmu had long guessed that such a conversation would take place, so he had prepared himself mentally.

He personally didn't mind doing this because he had a plan brewing in his mind for a long time.

However, he was worried that his teammates would refuse to obey.

But if several of your teammates are unwilling to follow you to join a certain apostle's team, or even stand there and fail to form a team after the three-day deadline, then you will be in trouble.

He didn't want to be separated from any of them, nor did he want to leave any of them behind.

So, he replied cautiously, "At this point, there's no need to dwell on which apostolic team the advance team should join. I have no problem with that and will obey the overall situation. However, before making this decision, I need to discuss it with the team members. Anyway, we still have three days, so I think we still have time."

Pierce gave him an appreciative look, then looked at Mr. Liang: "Now that Captain Zhong is very understanding, forming a team will not be a problem. After the twelve apostles form twelve teams, we can have very thorough advance communication to see how to allocate them into four groups. We can strive to end the confrontation through tacit and unconditional surrender of three teams in each group, rather than actual fighting..."

Mr. Liang interrupted him. "You're dreaming! Their rules already state that each group's qualifying team cannot win solely by the opponent's unconditional surrender. If this happens, the entire team will be considered forfeiting. In other words, to determine the first place in the group, at least one of the three teams must be 'incapable of resisting.'"

Pierce's light blue eyes lit up. "Yes, there are such rules. However, they don't stipulate that unconditional surrender must be done in an organized manner. In other words, if a team has 100 people, 99 can choose to surrender unconditionally, and the remaining person can choose to resist to the end. So, if a group has three teams, A, B, and C, Team B can quickly and completely surrender to Team A, and Team C can surrender unconditionally to Team A except for one person. Finally, as long as Team A sends someone to beat the last remaining person in Team C to the point of 'losing the ability to resist', wouldn't that make them the top of the group?"

Both Mr. Liang and Zhong Chenmu were stunned.

Liang Ye was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected that the situation he had originally thought would be filled with corpses and blood would be resolved so easily by Pierce.

He tried hard to recall the rules of the hydrogen family's "normalization" plan that Zhong Chenmu had relayed. It seemed that if he operated according to what Pierce said, it would not be considered a violation.

In this way, each group only needs to sacrifice one person, and a total of four people, to ensure that the top four groups will advance.

Then, by following the same method and sacrificing three more people, the champion of this "Return to One" game can be determined.

As long as the top team can successfully enter Taibai Star, it will be equivalent to knocking a window to the outside world on the closed shell of Wuming City civilization, and Wuming City will no longer be a stagnant internal circulation.

A total of seven people were sacrificed, and the entire Wuming City civilization was saved!

Mr. Liang suddenly felt that the ups and downs of life were very exciting, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

He didn't bother to wipe it off. He stared at Zhong Chenmu and asked, "Is what Pierce said true? Can you confirm again? According to the rules of the Hydrogen Clan, this is not a foul?"

Zhong Chenmu also fully understood the meaning of Pierce's plan.

Moreover, he quickly compared the rules of the "normalization" plan, and it had to be said that Pierce's plan did not have any obvious fouls.

Judging from the fact that the Hydrogen Clan has been relatively trustworthy so far, this plan seems to be the one with the least cost.

However, Zhong Chenmu felt like there was a stone pressing on his heart.

"Who did these seven people choose? Why would they choose them, and not others, to sacrifice for the future of Nameless City's civilization? If it wasn't done out of absolute volition, wouldn't this be just using others' money to achieve their own goals?"

In addition, he also vaguely felt that Pierce had a backup plan, although he couldn't tell what it was.

"Hey! Captain Zhong, is this a foul or not?" Seeing Zhong Chenmu in a daze, Mr. Liang urged him again.

"Oh... According to my understanding, it should not be a foul." Zhong Chenmu told the truth.

A glint of pride flashed in Pierce's eyes.

"But... I think there might be a better way? Otherwise, who will decide which of these seven people should be sacrificed?" Zhong Chenmu added.

Mr. Liang threw his head back and laughed: "Hahahaha...you don't have to worry about that! Money talks, let alone finding volunteers like this! Even if my money isn't convincing enough, Pierce, as the president of the Prophet Society, has plenty of brainwashing methods! He's a god in the eyes of those members!"

Pierce bowed slightly towards him: "Mr. Liang, thank you for the compliment."

"I'm against making a decision today," said Zhong Chenmu.

Liang Ye's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?"

"I'm saying that the president's plan can be used as a backup, but we still have three days. If we have a better response plan within these three days, we shouldn't go down this path. After all, the lives of seven people are lives too. They shouldn't become victims of money and so-called beliefs!"

Zhong Chenmu emphasized the "so-called belief" because in his opinion, Pierce and the Prophet Society have deviated from their original intentions.

"Do you think you have any bargaining chips to negotiate with me?" Mr. Liang's face darkened.

Zhong Chenmu showed no fear: "Because I am the only one who can talk to the Hydrogen Clan, and I am their designated contact person."

"you......"

Mr. Liang pointed at Zhong Chenmu and was speechless for a long time. He then realized that it was awkward for his right hand to be hanging in the air, so he angrily picked up the teacup and put the tea into his mouth.

The rim of the teacup trembled against his lips.

Pierce waved his hand. "Mr. Liang, since Captain Zhong has said so much, how about we give him two days? After all, he was very cooperative with us on the grouping issue just now."

Only then did Mr. Liang drink the tea in the cup in one gulp and put the cup heavily on the table.

"Alright, then hurry back to the detachment! Captain Zhong, Zhong Chenmu, if you can't come up with a better plan within two days, we'll follow Pierce's plan. Don't talk to me about seven lives. As long as we can break this damn vicious cycle, I'm willing to sacrifice 70, 700 people!"
