HCB Chapter 4990
Chapter 4990
"Our first priority is to ensure the survival of our own people."
Of course, there is one very important point in Zhang Yi's words.
He is willing to accept immigrants with top-notch technical skills from various countries.
We don't need geniuses with special abilities; those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Zhang Yi doesn't want any day to see signs of other chaotic civilizations emerge within the Huaxu Kingdom.
He only wants scientists, doctors, skilled workers...
After this statement was spread, many external forces criticized him for being cold-blooded, saying that the people of Huaxu Kingdom were too selfish and did not care about the feelings between fellow humans of the sixth generation.
Zhang Yi completely ignored those people and simply turned off the communication channel.
Just kidding. If you think Zhang Yi is a saint, it just means you have no idea how he got to where he is today.
……
When the negotiations among the myriad races were being withdrawn, Zhang Yi's communicator vibrated twice.
A secret message from a deep-sea channel was connected to his private line.
It's a familiar name: [Jin].
Located beneath the Ruins of the South China Sea, lies the King of the Deep Blue Kingdom, Old Crab Gold.
When Zhang Yi thought of his old friend, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
The underwater civilization did not participate much in this All Races Conference. Although the Abyss Clan and the Deep Sea Kraken sent representatives, they remained indifferent from beginning to end.
After all, the seabed is vast enough that they don't need to compete with land dwellers for territory—giving it to them wouldn't be of much use.
He answered the call, and the screen quickly appeared.
The familiar deep blue hue was quieter than the ground.
In the footage, the seawater is a deep indigo blue under high pressure, as if it has been compressed to an extremely stable state.
Clusters of coral-like fortresses emerge from the landscape, their bony structures spiraling outwards and shimmering with a soft, cool phosphorescence.
King Kim appears in the picture.
He was still wearing the deep-sea king's robe, made of layers of carapace and membrane, and his beard, which floated on his chin, slowly spread out in the water.
His expression was serious, but there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"Chaos," he asked directly, "How did the negotiations go?"
Zhang Yi adjusted the receiver to ensure the sound wave translation covered human speech frequencies, and casually said, "It'll do. For now, no other ancient civilizations in Huaxu dare to touch us. At least not in the short term."
Jin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and nodded slowly: "That's good! I was just saying, if you can't stay there, you can try immigrating to the seabed! After all, this place is very big."
He shifted his position slightly, allowing Zhang Yi to see what was behind him.
It was a vast seabed that didn't resemble a "seabed" at all.
The vast, dark plains stretch into the distance, devoid of shell fragments or steep trench walls, resembling instead the remnants of some ancient land that has been repeatedly smoothed out.
Among them stand one after another translucent domed buildings, like giant bubbles, with light flowing inside.
“We’re relatively stable for now,” Jin said in a low voice. “The Deep Blue Kingdom’s territorial waters are vast. The trenches, abysses, and hydrothermal vents are distributed quite widely. Our resources haven’t reached the point where we need to fight tooth and nail.”
"The various sea creatures are currently maintaining a semblance of politeness with each other."
"To put it bluntly," he chuckled, "everyone's still calculating their finances; we haven't reached the point where we're tearing each other apart and fighting for survival yet."
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow: "Sounds good."
“No.” Jin shook his head, but his expression was not relaxed. “This is only temporary.”
"With the folding of space, the seabed also expanded, and many previously unrecorded life zones appeared. You can think of it as a part of Earth's 'underground sea' being opened up."
“New thermal pulse zones, new mineral veins, new ancient ruins… everyone wants these things.”
“All ethnic groups are watching, all ethnic groups are testing each other. Conflict is inevitable, it’s just a matter of time.”
As he said this, he stared intently at Zhang Yi.
"I'm asking you about the outcome of this negotiation not just to congratulate you, Chaos."
"I need to confirm one thing."
