The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 640 - 633: The Mothership Descends

Campbell began to wax lyrical, while Yang Yi seemed to show a hint of sympathy for Campbell.

Xinghe said with a hint of apology, "Sorry, I arrived late."

Campbell was silent for a moment, and after looking at Xinghe and waiting for a while, he suddenly said, "It doesn’t matter."

Yang Yi chuckled, "There’s no need to mention the past. Right now, it’s clear there are more important issues. You’ve been in contact with the Serpent People. What did you all talk about?"

"We didn’t provide the Serpent People with much, they don’t need help."

"If the Serpent People don’t need your help, then why keep you around? Why give you the vaccine? Why don’t they attack you? There has to be a reason."

Campbell took a deep breath and said, "The Ark, the only reason we’re treated differently is the Ark. Any civilization would be interested in other civilizations, especially a more advanced one. But the turning point came after the Serpent People released the virus. At first, the Serpent People only provided the vaccine, but one day, shortly after releasing the virus, they descended to the ground, and a Serpent Person appeared in person and gave us this." freёnovelkiss.com

Campbell pointed at the communicator on the table and said, "This is the first item personally delivered by the Serpent People, and it was our first time seeing a Serpent Person."

Yang Yi expressed great surprise, "Personally delivered by the Serpent People?"

"Yes."

"What about before that? How did you make contact, and how were you given the vaccine?"

"I don’t know, I don’t know how the vaccine was given, only our Grand Elder knows that."

Yang Yi’s questions felt somewhat erratic, and Gao Yuan wanted to remind him that these questions were meaningless. But he only thought about it, because Yang Yi’s questioning obviously had some technique to it, or perhaps a special purpose.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Yi nodded and said, "Before the Serpent People officially attacked Earth, they gave you the vaccine, and you don’t know how it was administered. Then, not long after the virus was released, the Serpent People showed up spontaneously and gave you the communicator. So, did they assign you any tasks?"

"Yes, the Serpent People asked us to continue searching for the Ark, and also, a high-level civilization’s spaceship was shot down by them. The Serpent People believe this was the civilization that left the Ark behind. So, in addition to continuing our search for the Ark, we had to look for remnants of this civilization. But I get the feeling that the Serpent People aren’t very concerned about it; they think it would be good if we found it, but it wouldn’t matter if we didn’t."

Xinghe suddenly said, "The Serpent People know I’ve come to Earth, they want to find me."

Campbell sighed and said, "Since we got the communicator, we have regained flight capability and the ability for long-range transportation without having to worry about an attack from the Serpent People."

Yang Yi suddenly asked, "Did you notify the Serpent People that you found the secret to Celestial immortality, that you found a sample of Celestial blood?"

"No."

"No?"

After a moment of silence, Campbell spoke in a low voice, "The Sanitation Worker’s Grand Elder hopes to explore the secret of Immortality himself. He has not notified the Serpent People of anything, and your attack came swiftly. Although we Graycloaks have merged with the Sanitation Workers, there’s still a significant cultural divide... and we don’t have our own army."

Yang Yi asked with a smile, "So, what exactly is your ultimate goal now?"

"Gather the Ark of the Covenant and the Revelation, find the Ark, and then decide whether to flee or resist, or perhaps... completely give up resistance. The Serpent People said that it will be another three hundred and sixty Earth years before they descend to the ground, before they fully occupy this planet, and until then, we can continue to survive. I suppose many will choose to keep living, we won’t live for three hundred more years anyway."

Yang Yi frowned, "This complicates matters. I thought the Serpent People already knew about your acquisition of the secret to Immortality, but I didn’t expect you to keep it to yourselves. Well, the impact isn’t too significant."

After expressing his worry, Yang Yi waved his hand and said, "Why do the Serpent People say they will launch another attack after dawn? They will come after eight hours. Why wait so long?"

Campbell shook his head, "After dawn? Impossible, the Serpent People have no need to wait that long."

Yang Yi frowned, "Asymmetrical information, incomplete intelligence, this really is headache-inducing. Why wait eight hours?"

Ram also looked helpless and said, "Yeah, they could take it now, why wait eight hours? But this doesn’t matter, right? The longer it takes, the more it benefits us."

Yang Yi shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, that’s not it. We lack the necessary prerequisites. What if some of us leave the city during this time? What if we mobilize our troops on a massive scale, will the Serpent People launch an immediate attack then?"

Yang Yi looked at Xinghe again and asked, "What do you think the possibility is?"

After thinking for a while, Xinghe said, "Perhaps their technology is too backward to descend immediately?"

Aside from Xinghe, everyone couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Xinghe had the right to say that the Serpent People’s technology was backward, but to Earthlings, a civilization that crossed a distant galaxy to invade Earth, calling them technologically backward was self-deprecating.

Yet Xinghe seriously continued, "You need to understand, the Serpent People’s ships that deploy monsters may not have the conditions for retrieval. You can use drones to scout and attack, but would you use drones to land on the ground, pick up a person, and then leave? If it’s purely an attack drone, can it transport personnel?"

Ram immediately said, "Right!"

Xinghe continued, "For different needs, different devices are developed. Humans do this, we Celestials do this, and the Serpent People will certainly do the same. If the ships here are only responsible for deploying monsters to attack, then... they certainly might not be able to land and take important things away afterward. That’s a strong possibility."

Gao Yuan looked confused and said, "But aren’t the Serpent People’s ships able to soar across the entire Earth in a few minutes?"

Xinghe said, "I can’t answer that question because the Serpent People must have multi-functional ships available. But why they don’t use them, I don’t know."

Yang Yi was silent for a moment, then he suddenly said, "Since we can’t guess, why not ask the Serpent People?"

After speaking, Yang Yi said to Grewatov, "Send a message."

Yang Yi began to draw dots and lines in his shorthand notebook while Grewatov sent the message.

Ram glanced at it and said, "It’s encrypted. What did you say?"

Yang Yi responded indifferently, "Just one sentence, ’Why wait eight hours?’ "

Grewatov completed the transmission, and almost immediately, the communicator’s switch began to click.

After Grewatov transcribed the telegram, Yang Yi looked at it and with a grave expression, he said, "Four words, ’mother ship descends’."
