I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 647: Speculations about the Dark Forces

The entire Yuexi City was privately occupied, and as soon as the news spread, it aroused the envy of many people.

Even after the Xia country officials learned about it, more than half of them expressed dissatisfaction with the matter.

As soon as he started talking about this matter, his words implied that Su Mo had too big an appetite and was trying to steal the country's resources. He chose to ignore the fact that the association was in deep trouble at the time due to the increasing number of missing people.

He just kept harping on the conclusion, saying that the secret realm was not dangerous at all, and that even if Su Mo did not go to rescue them, those missing people would not be in danger, and perhaps they would be able to rescue themselves after a while, as if Su Mo had gotten a huge advantage.

The risks and merits that Su Mo should have taken were downplayed and minimized, emphasizing that Su Mo was only on a rescue mission, yet he dared to take the city and not hand over the strange monster.

This put a lot of pressure on Jiang Qizhang.

After all, it was Jiang Qizhang who made the decision to approve this matter. They couldn't go to Su Mo to "reason" with him, but they could talk to Jiang Qizhang.

Although Jiang Qi Zhang himself felt that the price he paid this time was a bit too much, the situation had already reached that point. If he did not find Su Mo and continued to send other people in, the result would only be worse.

He had to ask Su Mo, who was carrying out pest control operations abroad, to come back.

But fortunately, another part of the official staff is rational, including the senior leaders.

Let's not talk about anything else, just the skill that made Yuexi City disappear. Can anyone else do it? Could it be that you want to not meet Su Mo's conditions, but also want him to work for you?

How can a person be so frivolous?

Jiang Qizhang was able to avoid serious damage thanks to their support behind the scenes.

But this incident also made Jiang Qi Zhang realize that the Psychic Association, which he was entrusted with the task of establishing thirteen years ago, had become a big piece of fat meat.

He's only fifty-nine this year, not even sixty! And yet some people are eager to find fault with him and force him to step down.

I really got the wrong idea.

What he brought up with Su Mo today was just a compromise between the two parties. He brought it up with Su Mo, and it was not up to him to decide whether Su Mo agreed or not.

"Abu is an intelligent monster, very different from ordinary monsters. He makes all decisions about his own affairs. I will not send such a monster into the laboratory." Su Mo refused bluntly.

In fact, when she had just taken over Yuexi City, Deng Ye had brought up a similar topic, and Bu Lingling had expressed her unwillingness at that time.

Su Mo would not make this guarantee. Who knows what would happen if Bu Lingling entered the laboratory?

No matter what kind of organization it is, there are always people who do not play by the rules. What if an experimenter really did something to Bu Lingling? No matter the final result is that Bu Lingling is dead or half-dead.

What could Su Mo do? Should he hold the other party responsible?

Not to mention that even if she asked the other party to take responsibility, it would be of no avail. The greater possibility is that the other party would not take responsibility at all.

Could Su Mo turn against the authorities for a monster from Suzhou?

So it’s better not to participate.

Without giving Jiang Qizhang a chance to continue, Su Mo asked, "I wonder if the evil force that was discovered earlier and causing trouble in the country has been banned?"

Such a force lurking in the dark and causing trouble is a huge destabilizing factor, not to mention that they are closely connected to the mother nest.

The purpose of the pest control operation is to eliminate all Zerg on Blue Star. If anyone really betrays humanity and protects the mother nest, such forces must be eradicated as soon as possible.

However, the association did not mention the relevant matter in either the announcement or the news.

Jiang Qi Zhang didn't struggle at all to change the subject of Su Mo, and he didn't want to mention it himself.

So I answered, “There has been some progress, but no results yet.”

"The Psychic Association has launched a full investigation into this matter. Each branch in each major city started investigating almost simultaneously. Logically, they should have been able to catch the other party off guard. Without any preparation, something would surely be exposed."

Su Mo listened quietly without interrupting or asking any questions.

Jiang Qi Zhang sighed secretly.

"We did capture some people, but they were just small-time individuals who only knew how to follow orders. They had no idea who their superiors were or where their organization was. They didn't even know that they were working for the same force as themselves, let alone the relationship between the force that asked them to do the work and the mother nest."

"Based on all the information we've gathered, we can only conclude that the other party's hideout is outside of Xia Country."

"The association has limited control over foreign countries. We have already sent people out to investigate under the guise of pest control, but there are no results yet."

Su Mo's face didn't look good either.

How could anyone know where the other party was hiding on such a large planet? If it were an ordinary person, they would be dead if they went out. There were Zerg everywhere outside, and Zerg would not be polite to their food.

But this force is different. They are related to the mother nest. If they have the protection of the mother nest, then where on the Blue Planet can't they go?

Tsk.

Jiang Qizhang took a sip of tea and continued, "Some people in the investigation team suspect that the other party's base is within the territory of Country A. They also suspect that the force we are looking for was created by those who stayed in Country A."

"Their goal is to disrupt the order of Xia Country so that they can find an opportunity to attack Xia Country."

After all, the only two places on the blue planet where humans still gather, besides Xia Country and its surrounding borders, the other part is Country A, where a small number of humans still survive.

If Xia Country successfully completes the pest control operation, then Blue Planet will definitely be under the control of Xia Country. There are many people who do not want to see this situation, but the ones who do not want to see it the most are the people of Country A who are left alone in their homeland.

They consider themselves superior and always think that they are at the top of the food chain on Blue Star. Their malice towards Xia Country has never ceased since ancient times.

Su Mo: "..."

"It's just a minor issue. It won't cause much of a stir given the huge number of survivors in Xia Country."

There are hundreds of millions of survivors in the Xia country. They can dominate the Blue Planet after the insect plague. What can the other party do?

"Maybe those people want to control our country." Jiang Qizhang's eyes were serious.

"Those arrested by the investigation team were almost all employees of government departments in various major cities. Their positions ranged from high to low, but the commotion they were making was all aimed at targeting their competitors for positions."

Su Mo was surprised, she didn't know about this situation.

But thinking back to the last time outside the No. 21 city, she rescued Yu Shuyi's team and those people. From what they said, it seemed that the enemy of that team leader at that time wanted to harm her and ambush her when she was on a field mission.

She couldn't go back, so there was no obstacle to her rival's promotion.

If similar incidents occur elsewhere, it is possible...
