Chapter 242 - 238 What’s the Meaning
The convoy turned around and headed back to the roundabout, then took the exit straight off, heading towards the urban area of Dushanbe.
Of course, the convoy was quickly stopped.
"Quickly speak to your commander, tell them we’re back, report it urgently, faster! Faster!"
Zhao Qiang didn’t get out of the car; he just rolled down the window and shouted a few times from inside the vehicle.
Meanwhile, Gao Yuan was still conversing with Xinghe.
"Why do the Serpent People always need to test their new weapons? There must be a reason why they create and release different monsters, and I think you might have an idea why."
Xinghe thought for a moment, then she said to Gao Yuan, "It’s just testing new weapons."
"I know the Serpent People are testing new weapons, but the question is... why do they test these monsters! We classify weapons as strategic, tactical, operational, and combat level. So what’s the point of the Serpent People testing these weapons that can only have a localized effect? In an era where they can release viruses globally, why test these creatures that only affect certain areas?"
Gao Yuan was anxious, he grasped Xinghe’s face with both hands, seriously saying, "Strategic weapons are like nuclear bombs, tactical weapons are epoch-making, like missiles that can develop a whole new way of warfare based on them. Operational weapons depend on their numbers for effectiveness, for instance, the invention and use of tanks, the first deployment of machine guns in war. As for combat-level, that’s firearms and grenades, the basic weaponry that doesn’t instantly change the battlefield or the course of the war like a nuke would. Now use your brain, think hard about why the Serpent People are constantly testing their monsters!"
Xinghe didn’t push Gao Yuan’s hands away, she looked at him with a peculiar expression and said, "You... you really don’t understand?"
"I don’t understand! I can’t figure out the purpose behind the Serpent People’s actions. Why do they persistently destroy shelters and cities? Is it all just to test a few monsters?"
