Zhong Kui's Diary
"Will these sword rains harm the innocent?" My voice trembled slightly as I asked this question.
"Your question isn't really a question," Tang Seng replied dismissively. "In our eyes, there is only imperialism and China; there are no innocent masses. When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, did they consider the innocent? During the Nanjing Massacre, did they think about the innocent? Their people are innocent, but ours deserve to die? That's not how it works! What they owe us is time to repay!"
I exchanged horrified glances with Sima Sanguang. Damn, this is getting serious.
If this plan were to be implemented, it would be a disaster for those imperialist countries that suffered the blow. A disaster capable of collapsing entire nations, and the first victims would undoubtedly be the civilians.
A hundred-meter-long Ice Sword weighing thousands of pounds fell from the sky. I wasn't sure how much kinetic energy it generated, but I thought destroying a building wouldn't be a problem. Moreover, this Ice Sword wasn't just one or two; it was densely packed.
This level of attack was no different from an atomic bomb strike. If there had to be a distinction, this sword rain had a wider attack range, greater destructive power, and its frequency depended entirely on the mood of the array controller. There was no way to intercept it. In Tang Seng's words, this kind of attack was safe and effective, environmentally friendly, with zero pollution and zero radiation; everyone who had used it was satisfied...
No wonder this villa was called Dominion Villa; with this thing, dominating the world would be a piece of cake.
It's also no surprise that when Tang Seng discussed compensation with me, he mentioned paying with islands or toll roads. He certainly had confidence in his words; if the plan succeeded, the entire world would be under Dominion Villa's control. At that point, being a formal employee and getting an island would be easy; if things went well, managing a country wouldn't be difficult either—like leading nine departments or something similar.
"Next, I will announce the specifics of the plan." Tang Seng's voice seemed to come from a distant place. I was dazed for a while before snapping back to reality and quickly focused on listening to Tang Seng's arrangements.
The first step of the plan was to infiltrate the Western Satellite Launch Base in batches. The distance from Dominion Villa to the Satellite Launch Base was about one unit; we didn't need to worry about that part as it would all be handled by the 'Head West' department. We just needed to enter the Western Satellite Launch Base under their arrangements.
Once inside the Western Satellite Launch Base, our 'Journey to the West' department would officially begin operations. The monsters outside our department would cover our five-person team as we entered the rocket launch tower. Our most important task was to embed the array into the Satellite.
After installing the array, our department wouldn't have anything else to do; it would be up to 'Xue Rengui's Western Expedition' department to handle things from there. They were responsible for activating the array on the Satellite and launching attacks against countries like America and Japan.
Now I finally understood why the department names were so strange: 'Head West' was responsible for getting us into the Western Satellite Launch Base; 'Journey to the West' was about placing the array into the Satellite and letting it start its journey westward; and finally, 'Xue Rengui's Western Expedition' literally meant conquering the west—this was clearly aimed at destroying Western countries.
Although I considered myself an angry youth who hoped for China to stand tall at the pinnacle of the world, I felt extremely uncomfortable about this plan if it succeeded in conquering everything beneath our feet.
First, such an attack would result in the deaths of many innocent people; second, even if the plan succeeds, the ones who benefit will not be the Huaxia people or the country of China, but a few individuals within the villa. Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and by that time, our civilization may regress beyond recognition.
No, I absolutely cannot participate in such actions; my conscience does not allow me to do so.
Well, to hell with my conscience. If this group is in power, I believe my quality of life will be even lower. Just look at the actions of Tang Seng and others; this group will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
But do I still have a way out? If I don't participate, I'm afraid the first thing Tang Seng will do is kill me. It's a dilemma. Perhaps I should pretend to agree and look for an opportunity to escape.
Tang Seng spent almost half an hour outlining the division of labor. It was simply about who would be responsible for the main gate and who would monitor things. From this division of labor, it was clear that there were definitely insiders within the Western Satellite Launch Base, and there were quite a few of them. From the outermost sentry posts to the monitoring department inside, there were almost insiders from Dominion Villa present everywhere.
As Tang Seng arranged the division of labor, a hint of doubt lingered in my mind. Yes, this is a massive plan. Although the division of labor is so detailed and the arrangements so rigorous, there seems to be something off about this plan. I can't quite put my finger on what it is; it just feels strange.
Putting aside the oddities of the plan for now, if everything is so mature and well-organized, why did they have to wait for me to arrive before starting? What role do I play in all this?
After asking if anyone had any questions, Tang Seng cleared his throat: "Now, apart from our five disciples, everyone else should temporarily leave the conference room. Let me emphasize that from now on, we are all S-Class employees. Besides having increased authority, your Heartbreak Grass has also been upgraded to version 0. If you gossip with anyone, the Heartbreaking Love Flower will react immediately. This time it will be ten times more painful than the old version. Think carefully about it... Now you can leave."
Ten times more painful than the old version—can we even survive that? I instinctively rubbed my stomach and happened to see Sima Sanguang doing the same; we exchanged bitter smiles.
The silver curtains slowly rose as doors and windows opened one by one. The Daughter Kingdom King carried a box containing mobile phones and left with everyone else. The conference room was suddenly left with just five people: Tang Seng, Sha Monk, White Dragon Horse, Sima Sanguang (Zhu Bajie), and me (Sun Wukong).
Once the doors and windows closed again and the silver curtains fell once more, Tang Seng revealed a cold smile: "You can forget everything we just discussed with them."
"What?" I was taken aback.
"In the real core plan, their existence is merely to attract attention from local forces; they are destined to be sacrificed," Tang Seng said coldly with a smile. "Next, our plan is the true core plan. Now let's familiarize ourselves with it."
I was stunned for a moment and then looked around; Sima Sanguang also wore a confused expression while Sha Monk and White Dragon Horse seemed unfazed—presumably already aware of this matter.
"How could placing a few insiders allow us to enter the rocket launch tower? If it were that easy, how could our country have successfully launched so many satellites?" When Tang Seng said this, I suddenly understood where my strange feeling came from—the previous plan was overly idealistic; many aspects were speculative without knowing what would actually happen on-site. In short, that plan was just a facade.
"Install the magic circle on the Satellite; that won't change. What needs to change is the method of infiltration." Tang Seng pressed a switch, and a projector appeared above his head. Soon, a map emerged on the silver-white wall.
The map depicted a large base, undoubtedly the layout of the Western Satellite Launch Base.
"Nobles and commoners alike have their needs! Whether it's a high-end club or a Satellite Launch Base, wherever there are people, there are restrooms. With restrooms, there are naturally sewers. I believe you all understand what I mean; our only way into the Satellite Launch Base is through the sewer," Tang Seng said, nodding towards White Dragon Horse and tossing him a laser pointer. "The Dragon King's Third Prince has experience with this; he will be responsible for this segment of the infiltration. Let's hear his plan."
White Dragon Horse stood up and cleared his throat. "First of all, let me clarify that I don't have experience with infiltrating restrooms. I'm the Dragon King's Third Prince and have some insights into underwater operations."
Hearing White Dragon Horse say this made us chuckle, and the atmosphere lightened considerably.
White Dragon Horse pressed the laser pointer, and a red dot appeared on the map. "The Western Satellite Launch Base is located in a remote mountainous area, and on the surface, there are no rivers passing through. However, we overlooked one point: the Underground River."
"Less than a kilometer from the Western Satellite Launch Base, there is an underground river flowing by, which was one of the reasons for choosing this location for the base," White Dragon Horse explained as he moved the laser beam across the map to indicate the position of the underground river. "With the Underground River, we don't need to worry about water sources; at least we've solved one major problem—the sewer issue. All waste within the base is directly channeled into the Underground River."
"As a side note, this Underground River likely leads to a certain brand's bottled water extraction site, which is why I never drink that brand of mineral water," White Dragon Horse laughed. I couldn't help but feel relieved; thankfully, I never drank that brand either. By the way, I wonder if my Mustard Seed Pendant has any stock of that water; I should deal with it.
"Getting back on track, our route will be as follows: we will enter the Underground River from upstream, less than 0 kilometers from the base. Along the way, I've already established ten rest points stocked with oxygen tanks and other supplies. Additionally, there's a rope connecting everything to ensure we won't be swept away by the currents of the Underground River," White Dragon Horse said proudly.
