#1094 - 7. Space blockade, isolated from the world! Not afraid of death? Life is worse than death?
Zhu La was utterly despondent.
Back in the day, he had incited popular sentiment, ousted the then-governor, and ascended to the highest throne in one fell swoop.
This also led to the country being isolated.
There was no other way!
Beyond their borders, there were no longer one or two hundred countries, only the singular Huaxia.
Using Level 1 civilization-level geological technology, Huaxia erected a high wall along the country's border.
At the time, Zhu La wasn't worried. It was a case of you live your life and I live mine. Anyway, his goal had been achieved—to become the king of this country!
But…
As time passed, the loss of import and export trade opportunities, coupled with extremely primitive industry and agriculture, and a severe shortage of various resources… In short, the people's living standards deteriorated, and they would subconsciously compare it to the past.
Gradually, some people became unhappy.
Zhu La lost the support of the people.
Initially, he could deceive them with lies, but later he resorted to forcibly suppressing them with military force.
Until an uprising erupted, and even the troops under his command saw a large number of 'traitors' emerge.
Realizing that he couldn't hold on alone, he hoped to return to Huaxia's embrace, and at the same time sent people to dig tunnels from the bottom of the high wall, secretly infiltrating Huaxia's territory.
Unexpectedly…
The Huaxia high-level officials ignored him. When he helplessly turned to Chen Hao, he was flatly rejected.
What would happen if he couldn't return to Huaxia?
More and more people rebelled.
It was a dead end!
In a fit of anger, he went all in, ordering the suicide soldiers who had infiltrated Huaxia to take action.
Now, he couldn't contact the suicide soldiers!
"Zhu La, where are you?"
A deafening voice suddenly appeared.
Outside the presidential palace!
Zhu La almost wet himself with fright and didn't dare to show his face at all.
"Found you," the voice rang out again.
What the hell?
Before Zhu La could react, he was enveloped by a strange force, levitated, and floated towards the window.
Bang!
The office window was shattered by a surge of energy.
His whole body was locked by energy, and he couldn't move at all.
A moment later.
He flew into the open air outside.
He saw above his head a giant ship hovering, obscuring the sky and the sun.
Outside the giant ship's hatch, Chen Hao stood on a hoverboard, staring at him with condescending eyes: "Times have changed."
When Zhu La first came to power, Huaxia completely isolated this country, using only Level 1 civilization technology—geological technology.
Now, things were different!
If Huaxia were still at Level 1 civilization, conventional assassination methods might have worked, but with the blessing of Level 6 civilization technology, using Level 0.7 methods to carry out assassinations was no different from a joke, with no chance at all.
Not to mention Chen Hao.
All the important people around him had spatial defense equipment.
There was also an AI system monitoring in real-time.
Whenever danger was encountered, the defense equipment would be activated immediately, and with the destructive power of gunpowder weapons, not a single hair would be harmed!
Suddenly!
Just as Chen Hao's voice fell, the sound of gunfire came from a distance.
It seemed that two groups of people were clashing.
The sound of gunfire…
The rebel army had entered the capital, and he was facing a dead end anyway!
To put it bluntly, the reason why he went all in was because he knew his own situation and that there was no way to survive.
"Mr. Chen!"
A tank and armored vehicle team came rushing over.
A bearded man emerged from one of the armored vehicles and shouted excitedly at Chen Hao: "We are the rebel army, we are against Zhu La, and we stand on Huaxia's side—we hope to rejoin Huaxia!"
Pfft!
Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Chen…" the bearded man was stunned.
Laugh?
What did that mean?
"You deserve better," Chen Hao said with a smile.
The bearded man, who was still in shock, couldn't help but get excited when he heard this.
Did this mean that they were agreeing to let them return to Huaxia?
Were they going to live a good life?
"Little Star, completely seal off the space of this country for me—without leaving any room!" Chen Hao didn't use conscious commands, deliberately letting everyone hear.
The next moment.
The warship hovering in the sky suddenly released unknown energy.
…
Why just Earth?
Venus and Mars were also broadcasting live.
"Haozi, don't be soft-hearted!" Deng Xiaoyan stared at the live broadcast screen.
At this moment, hundreds of billions of Huaxia people were watching the live broadcast, and he was also one of countless viewers.
'These grandsons, once they're full, they want freedom and equality, but when they're about to starve to death, they want to come back. They're really not good people!'
'That's right! If the commander is soft-hearted this time, there will be more problems in the future!'
'The commander shouldn't be soft-hearted, right?'
Deng Xiaoyan watched the live broadcast on his mobile phone, with countless pop-up windows in the comments section below.
The live broadcast was multi-perspective.
From a super high-altitude perspective, as soon as Chen Hao's words fell, the warship suddenly released energy.
The next moment.
Looking down from the super high altitude, you could see the high walls on the border edges sinking one after another.
Were there no more high walls?
Did the border return to flat ground again?
But!
A layer of energy, visible to the naked eye, like a spatial distortion, enveloped the entire country.
Not only was the surface bowl-shaped.
In fact, it also formed a closed, hollow sphere with the underground.
In the past, they could dig through the high wall from underground to sneak out.
Now…
Completely isolated from the outside world!
The key was that the high wall had been replaced by a spatial sphere, deliberately not affecting the field of vision. People standing outside the spatial sphere could clearly see everything inside—this country would become a model for the world!
There had been many countries in the world that had voluntarily joined Huaxia, but in the end, some people would be greedy.
Want equality?
Alright!
Here was a living example!
"Chen… Mr. Chen… we are willing to join…" The man who came out of the armored vehicle finally realized that something was wrong.
"Back then, weren't you also willing to join?"
Chen Hao, standing on the hoverboard, sneered and flew back into the warship, leaving behind the last sentence: "Huaxia is not a place to come and go as you please. You have already lost the opportunity. Who caused all this… find him!"
He didn't kill Zhu La.
Zhu La, trapped by the unknown energy, slowly fell to the ground, and the energy restraint was also withdrawn.
Chen Hao flew back into the ship's cabin.
The hatch closed.
The space hood that trapped the entire country opened a small gap for the last time, and re-closed after the warship flew away—after that, it would never open again.
"Zhu La!"
The bearded man came back to his senses and rushed towards Zhu La like a madman: "You have made the entire country completely lose its future!"
"Kill him!"
"Burn him to death!"
Countless angry voices were boiling around.
Zhu La was dumbfounded.
He finally understood why Chen Hao didn't kill him.
When he made the entire country completely lose all hope, what awaited him was definitely not a shooting.
But…
A fate worse than death!
How many people couldn't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin?
His death would be many times more terrible than imagined!
On the other side.
Chen Hao, who had just returned to Shanghai by warship, received a message from another universe in the virtual reality field of vision of his sunglasses.
Nearly a thousand pirates had had their memories erased.
The plan could be implemented!
However, he had to choose the most suitable substitute from the nearly one thousand pirates.
Just like back then, using Damon's body to revive the soul and gradually infiltrate the high level of the Beetle Clan.
So…
Who should be chosen as the substitute this time?
