Ace Of Terrans

The variants exchanged a glance and one person stepped forward and said, "Hello, my name is Icae, I am responsible for minding the food supplies in the city."

Shi Lang asked, "What is your question?"

Icae asked, "Sir, we have a strict rationing system, as you can see, our people are all mostly malnourished. I want to ask you, can you solve this food problem? Initially, we did not cut off the diet for our children but now we have begun to have them eat only twice a day. I do not know if you have suffered from starvation or hunger so strong that you might kill someone for one morsel of grain. If you can promise that our people can eat a stomach full in the evening, then I will allow you inside. I know this is unreasonable of me, but I only ask you for the food worth a night."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Anyone else has a similar question?"

All of them stated and nodded. Almost all of the councilmen had a similar question, and they all asked for things that could last them for one night. Jill stepped forward and wanted to say something when Shi Lang said, "Jill, call Ajax, Sonic, Sparrow, Hera, and Tormund. Give them a list of supplies they need to steal from the stores of the Prime Leader, let that man empty his coffers."

Jill chuckled and nodded, the message was conveyed and Shi Lang said, "Please wait for a few hours."

The councilmen were surprised by the casual attitude but they agreed to it. Shi Lang sat down to meditate and Crystal played some mind games with Jill to kill time as the latter was guarding Shi Lang. Jill suddenly thought of something and asked, "Boss, do you perhaps want to go inside because you have sensed something?"

Shi Lang opened his eyes and said, "As expected, you came late but you arrived at the right stop. When I visited Cig city, I sensed a strong spirit energy, do you know these people do not know how to use this energy yet that prime leader had a bone age of two hundred years?"

Crystal was surprised and asked, "Boss, could it be that this civilization has a longer life span? You could be mistaken, no?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "The life span of an organism depends on its cell division rate. I collected some samples when I was intimidating them and had Gaia analyze them. She confirmed the effects of spirit energy were evident."

Crystal was surprised and asked, "If that is the case, then could it be like they have a natural spirit gathering formation inside?"

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Nope, the city is an artificial landscape. The secret lies in the foundation, however, I could not act out there, as every old fox would be watching me, but here I can check out things better. The city has abundant spirit energy."

Jill gulped and said, "Boss, you sure can see through everything."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I am not omnipotent."

Crystal was not speaking anymore, she was looking at Shi Lang with her eyes filled with worship. Jill nudged her and asked, "What happened?"

Crystal replied without turning her head, "Boss is so handsome when he is modest."

Jill was surprised and Shi Lang was sighing when he heard this, the former said, "You probably do not know the boss is married."

Crystal nodded and said, "I know, but strong people have many admirers. Like my grandma has a lot of old seniors fawning over her."

Jill held her forehead and Shi Lang flicked his finger on Crystal\'s forehead. The young man said, "Check the task status."

...

Three hours later, ten people arrived at outside the Variant city with a few containers levitating behind them. The five people paired up with their other teammates to finish this task. Shi Lang looked at the people, and said, "The requirements have been met."

Salve stepped forward and then bowed with his councilmen. He said, "You have done us a big favor. We are eternally grateful to you, Sir Shi."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Do not mind me saying this, but your eternal gratitude will not be fulfilled if you went to war. Anyway, we will see things later, but now, can you please allow me to visit the city? Also, I need to bring in two of my subordinates to record the situation inside."

Salve nodded and said, "That will not be a problem anymore. Please follow along."

Shi Lang nodded and the three people followed Salve while the rest of the people helped the councilmen check the supplies and transport them into the city.

...

The landscape of the city was similar to Cig city, however, this place was gloomy and slightly dirtier. Salve said, "Forgive us, we do not have any system to aid the finance circulation in the city, thus the people were told not to work for a loss. Thus the city has become slightly dirty."

Shi Lang waved his hand while looking at the skyscrapers and the rest of the place. He said, "Jill, Crystal, go film it all without disturbing the people living here."

The two nodded and Shi Lang asked, "Do you know the place where the ground level is the lowest?"

Salve nodded and said, "Yes, please follow me."

The two people traveled on foot and he did not miss even a detail, and his spirit sense was scanning the entire city as he walked. He was looking for the spot with the max number of Variants gathered together. His speed was not slow, suddenly, he found the spot and his step flinched.

Salve said, "You must be wondering where is the weapon stored, right?"

Shi Lang was surprised and then Salve pointed at the building where the max number of the people were stationed and all of them had weapons. The man said, "Sir Shi, that is where the weapon is stored."

Salve said, "We do not wish to fight, this weapon is not what we made, we discovered it. When we found this weapon, we did not know what it was, but one scientist here told us that this weapon was commissioned by the cigs to destroy us, the Drigs as they call us.

That was when we decided to go down with everyone. Since the Prime leader is the god acting upon Cega then we will be the devil."

Shi Lang asked, "You made changes to the weapon?"

Salve nodded and said, "We made it big enough to destroy the entire world. We can\'t live with ourselves after destroying millions of people."

Shi Lang sighed and patted his shoulder as he said, "You do not have to worry, I will try my best from making you live with this sin. Since you have not hidden anything from me. Allow me to come clean too.

My orders were to either take custody of the weapon or to slay your kin, however, I bet my life and my crew for this mission. Let us hope that I am not allowed to act on my orders, however, if I am asked to attack, then your blood will be on the hands of those Cig civilians. They failed to follow their path of mercy. I hope such a shameful time does not come."

Salve nodded and then led Shi Lang to the place where the foundation was the deepest. Shi Lang sat down on the ground and began to sense around with his spiritual sensation.

...

While the young general was looking for the secret of spirit energy in the city, the video of the city and Shi Lang\'s conversation with Salve was uploaded to the net and was given to the bloggers to stream, the next moment, the news channels were also unlocked by hacking and the control was broadcasting the cruelty of the Cig leadership worldwide.

The fire of the rebellion was raging strong and the people from the big families were gradually losing ground. None of the protectors or the forces under their hand dared to act. One leader asked his force of mercenaries to take charge and attack the hooligans, however, the masses took down the people as if they were rats.

The downfall of the leadership was fast and smooth and it put the prime leader in a position where he decided to call the Strike Force and ask them to pull back. However, the response he got made him faint.
