In the northern desert of Country G, a blood-red fox came through the air and landed outside a tent.

“Special Assistant Quan.” A man wearing a white robe and covering his face came out of the tent.

“Manager Li, how is the situation?” This man in the white robe was none other than Li Changming, the development manager of Wanwu Group stationed in country G. The desert under their feet was where Li Changming finally reached an agreement to reverse the desertification in the past six months which was suddenly cancelled.

“There are high-level demon hunters in the scientific research institute of G country. I can’t enter to investigate, but judging from the current situation, the nuclear weapon test explosion should be within the next few days.” Li Changming said, “Thirty kilometers to the south has already been blocked by the local government, and ordinary people can’t get in.”

Hearing this, Quan Juncai’s face turned dark immediately, they had already begun to block the road. Was that still far from the test explosion?

“Did you contact the local demon hunter association and government officials?” Quan Juncai asked.

“I’ve already said everything that needs to be said.” Li Changming sighed. Before Quan Juncai arrived, he had already tried to communicate with the local Demon Hunters Association, but unfortunately it had no effect at all.

“You make another appointment for me. I want to talk to them in person.” Quan Juncai insisted.

“Okay, I’ll make a call right now.” After saying that, Li Changming walked aside and made a call.

Quan Juncai stood outside the tent, looking in the south direction, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. For a great demon at his level, ordinary dangers would have no impact on him at all. Such an uneasy feeling could only be caused by that powerful nuclear weapon. Although the Demon King had said that the demon clan could not forcefully interfere with human beings’ decisions for survival and development, Quan Juncai was still unwilling to let things happen.

As a sacred tree, every time the Lord woke up, he was saving the world, and every time the salvation ended, he had to fall asleep again. Although he was the only immortal demon in the world, this way of existence was too unfair. Now that the Lord had finally gained some joy in living, he must not let the Lord fall back into sleep without doing anything.

….

Two hours later.

A military green jeep sped through the khaki desert, bringing up a long stream of dust and stopping at the door of the white tent.

“Here they come.” Li Changming heard the voice and hurriedly got up and walked outside. After a while, he was greeted by two men wearing G country military uniforms.

“Let me introduce you.” Li Changming pointed to Quan Juncai, who had stood up from his chair. “This is the special assistant to the president of Wanwu Group and the general protector of our demon clan, Quan Juncai. Special Assistant Quan, this is General Frank, the elder of the National Demon Catcher Association, and General Kenny, the general of Country G.”

“Hello.”

“Hello.”

After a brief greeting, both parties took their seats.

After Quan Juncai waited for the two of them to sit down, he started talking fluently in the language of country G: “I think Manager Li has already mentioned my purpose of us coming to you. The reason why I have to come in person is because of this matter. It’s really serious. Both of you understand the significance of the existence of the demon clan. Let’s not talk about the virus that just passed. Let’s just say that if we, the Wanwu Group, had not worked hard to maintain the ecological environment over the years, the desert in your country G might be even bigger than it is now, maybe even more than double.”

“Special Assistant Quan, we all understand what you are saying.” Elder Frank sighed, “But there are some things we had to do as a last resort. Nowadays, country G is weak and has been oppressed by country M. Although they talk and say that it is because we are developing nuclear weapons but in fact, our development of nuclear weapons stopped not long after the United Nations issued the convention. Country M just wants to use this as an excuse to rob our country’s oil resources. If we don’t resist, the entire country will fall into deep water fever. How will our 200 million citizens get along?”

“But if the earth’s ecology collapses, all mankind will suffer.” Quan Juncai said solemnly.

“G country is not the only country in the world that develops nuclear weapons. Haven’t China, M, and many other countries successfully developed nuclear weapons? They can develop them, why can’t we?” General Kenny said angrily, “You have the power to protect your own citizens, but you persuade us not to develop weapons? Are you just standing and talking because it is not you who is being bullied? Also, why is it the mistake of all mankind, but in the end, we, country G, should be responsible for it? When our country G was oppressed by country M, which country in the United Nations came forward to do something for us? Even at this time, you came to persuade us not to develop nuclear weapons. Why don’t you go and do something for us? Go ask Country M to stop their aggression, apologize to us and compensate us for our losses.”

General Kenny’s questioning made Quan Juncai suddenly fall silent. Country M’s actions were indeed unreasonable and even rogue, but their rogueness even led to the United Nations finding it hard to intervene, so what could he do as a demon protector? Moreover, if country M knew that country G was really developing nuclear weapons, then country M’s reason for aggression would be even stronger. Politics was so complicated that even if he was a fox known for his cunning, even if he lived for thousands of years, sometimes he could not see through these things. What’s more, Country G’s nuclear weapons had been successfully developed. Even if he told the United Nations about the nuclear weapons at this time, it would not stop Country G from testing explosions.

“Protector Quan, just because our country G is weak, we cannot always be asked to make sacrifices. This is unfair.” Elder Frank also said.

Listening to the explanations of the two men, Quan Juncai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and every fox fur exuded cold despair. Country G was weak, so they felt it was unfair to be bullied. What about the Lord? The Lord was the most powerful being in the world, but he was bullied every day by humans who could crush him to death with just one little finger. Bit by bit, inch by inch, his body was completely injured. Was this fair?

“And it’s just a test explosion of a nuclear weapon, and it’s in a desert. I don’t think it will have much impact on the earth’s ecology. This is a desert to begin with, and even if the nuclear weapon explodes, it will only extend the time of desertification by dozens more years.” Elder Frank continued, “When our G country gets through this crisis, we will definitely use our national strength to protect the environment, and we will repair the environment that we have damaged in the shortest possible time. We can even build in the southern part of the country and give Wanwu Group two pieces of fertile land as compensation.”

“What if I must ask you to stop testing nuclear weapons?” Quan Juncai turned a deaf ear.

“Then we can only fight.” Elder Frank and General Kenny’s expressions turned cold at the same time. “Although Protector Quan is a great demon at the peak of the eighth level, it is still difficult for you to break through the barrier set up by our Demon Hunter Association. It will take time. And we have completed the preliminary work of testing the nuclear weapon. We can still buy this time to stop you until the nuclear weapon explodes.”

Quan Juncai became angry and stood up with a roar. The two people on the opposite side did not show weakness and faced him tit for tat.

“You are just taking chances. Have you ever thought that your nuclear weapon this time might be the last snowflake that causes the avalanche?” Quan Juncai asked.

“If so, so what.” General Kenny replied coldly, “Not a single snowflake is innocent in the avalanche. Why should we, 200 million compatriots in country G, be made to atone for the sins of all mankind? If we want to atone, then let’s do it together with all humans.”

“You humans are so stupid and selfish.” Quan Juncai scolded angrily.

“You should use this sentence to scold Country M. Without them, what is happening today would not be possible.” As a soldier, nothing could shake his determination to defend the motherland at this time.
