Chapter 982: Alliance!

Amidst the palpitating wait, the fleet landed in the county. When they saw the human populace, Cleo and the rest relaxed.
Within a luxurious villa in the county.
Yue Zhong sat on the sofa as he addressed Cleo, "Why did the American government send you guys and not some diplomatic envoy?"
Between countries, it was a norm to send foreign diplomats and not a special force like this group of superhuman soldiers.
Cleo shrugged and chuckled, "Yue Zhong, I'm an actual diplomat. If you don't believe me, you can confirm with America. Under the recent circumstances, you know that if those normal diplomats were to be sent, who knows if they will meet some mishap and die out here. In order to come to China, we have paid a hefty price."
As the current transportation means were not as advanced as prior to the apocalypse, even when the 4 factions had established some form of stability, their relationships were not harmonious, and they were all playing guessing games and probing each other.
America would not just send a random official, if they were not careful, that government official might perish along the way.
Sending Cleo and the rest to China, other than establishing some form of diplomatic contact, they could gather intel and carry out their secret mission: steal some treasures from China.
Yue Zhong replied directly, "Then what's your motive for coming here?"
Cleo's eyes narrowed as he spoke, "Our country hopes to enter an alliance with China. Leader Yue Zhong, you must know that the Gates of Hell have opened. The Saint Clan of the 2nd World has begun their invasion. Other than them, other worlds would invade as well after some time. Only by working together, and pooling our strength, will the human race be able to defend our Earth."
Yue Zhong remained impassive, "Alliance? What are the terms?"
Cleo put on a smile, "After we enter the alliance, we hope to share technology. We will release our knowledge of information technology, steel, and optics. We hope that China can share your laser technology, Sky Fortress, as well as electromagnetic weapons. Beyond that, we can also sign an agreement to attack the Kingdom of God together."
When Yue Zhong heard those words, he laughed coldly.
Cleo's proposition was to use the technology from before the world ended to exchange with Yue Zhong's technology obtained from the system. If Yue Zhong agreed, America would have gotten the long end of the stick.
He replied mildly, "Forget about sharing technology. I can consider attacking the Kingdom of God together."
Yue Zhong had already obtained a huge load of technology that far surpassed that of Earth from the 3rd World. With enough time, China's technology would rise rapidly. He was no longer interested in anything from America. However, he was not closed off to working together to eradicate the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God's reach was far too wide and vast, siphoning resources from everywhere. Yue Zhong intended to curb and cut back on that level of influence and reach.
Hearing Yue Zhong turn down the offer to share technology, the sexy American Susan shot him a disdainful look, "Yue Zhong, it is now a moment of peril for us humans. At this time, we should all be working together. We share our resources and develop together, fighting off the invaders. Your action and behavior are too selfish."
"Selfish?" Yue Zhong laughed hollowly, before his gaze turned frosty, "Before the apocalypse, your country tried to shut down all forms of technology blockade against us. You didn't allow technology to flow back here and prevented us from learning anything. Isn't that selfish? Furthermore, your offer of past technology to exchange for my advanced technology, and you expect me to agree? Brainless big-breasted idiot."
Susan was also a woman with a fiery temper. She flared, and reached for her pouch, "You dare mock me?"
Those on the frontlines usually had some form of temper. They had to kill often, thus that killing intent had been ingrained.
The moment she moved, there was a gust of wind as a pair of claws clenched around her throat, filled with killing intent, causing her to be drenched in cold perspiration, not daring to move.
When Susan moved, Cleo and the rest had thought to act as well. Unfortunately, there was a swish and multiple laser guns were pointed at them. The moment they made a move, they would be punctured full of holes.
A dense killing intent filled the room. The moment Yue Zhong gave the order, Cleo and the rest would be killed. Even if they were Type 4 experts, there was no way of getting out of this one.
Cleo hurried to explain in cold sweat, "It was a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Leader Yue Zhong, we have no ill intentions!"
The reality of the apocalypse was cruel, and human lives were as cheap as ants. If things went awry, it was common for killing to happen. If Yue Zhong decided to be vicious, their entire part would be wiped out.
Furthermore, America would not cause a ruckus because of their death. After all, they had to contend with the zombies, the Kingdom of God. They were no longer like America from prior. Furthermore, since the world was dangerous, overrun with Mutant Beasts, how would they know if Cleo's team was wiped out by Mutant Beasts or Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong waved his hand, and the guns were lowered.
Green Cat also released its grip around Susan's neck, settling comfortably by Yue Zhong's side.
Susan looked at Green Cat with fear in her eyes and cold sweat down her back. She had seen how Green Cat had wiped out the entire Special Forces team. That sort of speed and ferocity left a deep impression on her.
Cleo adjusted his emotions and spoke, "Leader Yue Zhong, the Sky Fortress, Electromagnetic Cannons and Laser Guns are all technology that is important to us. Without it, we would have no means of defending against the invasions. What would it take for you to share the technology with us?"
That technology could be considered as way beyond today's context. If an ordinary soldier was equipped with an electromagnetic gun, then they would have the means of killing L-Types and other Type 4 Divine Warriors. The Sky Fortress was also a war machine capable of contending with other Type 5 Mutant Beasts.
With America's production facilities, once they gained such technology, they would progress fast and gain the ability to defend against the Saint Clan's invasion.
Yue Zhong flipped his hand, and the Sniper Cannon used by Cleo's team, relying on a Type 5 Mutant Beast Nucleus to kill the Type 5 Mutant Beasts at the lake, appeared, "Use technology of the same level to do an exchange. Don't try to bullshit me that you guys don't have such technology."
Cleo and the rest had abandoned the 4 of such weapons when they were killing the Type 5 Mutant Beasts. 2 had been destroyed by Green Cat, while 2 had been kept by Yue Zhong.
Cleo saw the Sniper Cannon and his face fell, "I'll have to check with my superiors. Leader Yue Zhong, this Destruction Sniper Cannon is a classified weapon of the United States, can you return it to us? Otherwise, it might affect the relationship between our countries."
The Destruction Sniper Cannon could utilize Type 5 Nuclei and was a technology brought back by Leo from the other worlds. It could take out a Type 5 Mutant Beast. In order to obtain the treasure in the lake, they had brought out a total of 6. Now that they have lost 4, they would have to answer back home.
Yue Zhong replied mildly, "I'm going to research it, once I'm done, I will return it to you."
Hearing this, Susan and the rest had a look of fury.
Cleo's face remained unchanged, as he smiled, "Since this is the case, please go ahead."
Both sides exchanged a few sentences, Cleo then led his subordinates away.
Once they left the room, Susan exploded with dissatisfaction, "Boss!! Why did you give in?! That's our item!!"
The rest of the Superhuman soldiers also looked towards Cleo with the same look.
Cleo's face turned dark, "We are in their territory if he insists on not returning it, what can we do? Snatch it back? Huh? Susan?"
Hearing this, they all turned quiet.
Susan was still disgruntled, "Boss, are we just going to let it go? The alliance only has 15 of those Destruction Sniper Cannons. Now that we lost 4, we will have to deal with shit once we go back."
Cleo replied with a dark look, "Of course not. We have to get the alliance pushed through first. Once we have that, we can muscle them to return it. We can only suck it up this time."
Lime and the rest thought about and realized that there was no chance. Against someone who could even tame a Type 5 Mutant Beast, going against him would only mean death.
The moment Cleo and the rest left, Yue Zhong summoned Selena over.
Yue Zhong spoke, "I want to know the current situation of your India Rebel Forces. Speak only the truth, if I discover that you're lying, then there's no need for cooperation."
"Yes!"
Selena turned serious and began to explain things in India.
