Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 627 - 382. Great Xia is the most evil Evil Dragon in the world_3
Only three berries, no more, because this stuff is quite potent.
The water in the thermos changed to a milky white right before the eyes and emitted a pleasant aroma.
Wen Zehan picked up the thermos and took a small sip; his previously pale face quickly regained a rosy hue.
He sighed with satisfaction: "I didn’t expect the mutated goji berries from the Superpower Era to still be such a powerful tonic."
His wife glanced at the goji berry water without any desire to taste it.
Yesterday she tried a sip and stayed wide awake since then, feeling she could last another day and night without a problem.
Wen Zehan continued, "Working with Mr. Spirit Crows and Mr. Ghost for two days, I realized how many dangers Great Xia faces and how much these two have done for the country."
His wife nodded: "Great Xia has only reached this point and ordinary people can live as they do thanks to the great contributions of those two leaders."
Just then.
A glimmering star floating in mid-air suddenly flickered.
Mr. Ghost’s voice came through: "Mr. Wen, can you scan the Lap Province and locate all strongholds related to the Bai shan Goddess?"
Wen Zehan quickly responded: "While scanning just now, I already sensed over thirty locations closely resembling the aura of Bai shan Divine Envoy."
His wife remained beside him, observing.
Being the spouse responsible for caring for her husband, she had high clearance and was privy to many secrets.
Mr. Ghost’s tone held satisfaction: "Very good, please transmit the exact coordinates to the command center."
Wen Zehan promptly replied: "Understood!"
His eyes sparkled with a faint light as he added: "Mr. Ghost, the transmission is complete."
Consciousness can directly connect to machines, namely "human-machine integration," a unique ability of Satellite Star Formation.
Mr. Ghost’s voice sounded again, this time issuing orders to the military: "Canglan Eagle Cluster, heed the order: launch a comprehensive attack on the coordinates given, disregard collateral damage."
"Yes!"
Then, an order to Wen Zehan: "Mr. Wen, please monitor the situation at the bombardment sites at all times."
Wen Zehan immediately replied: "Understood!"
His eyes brightened, clearly utilizing the Power of the Stars for surveillance.
His wife stood beside him and was unable to contain herself upon hearing "disregard collateral damage," saying: "Old Wen, isn’t this too cruel?"
She knew her husband’s Satellite Star Formation was quite magical and could control information transmission at will, so she wasn’t worried about Mr. Ghost overhearing.
She thought that randomly bombing over thirty strongholds might wrongfully kill many ordinary Shapudian People.
Wen Zehan glanced at his wife and simply replied: "Mercy toward women!"
His wife sounded a bit dissatisfied: "Why is it mercy toward women? Are ordinary people’s lives not lives?"
Wen Zehan shook his head: "People around every stronghold are most likely followers of the Bai shan Goddess, who harbor deep hostility toward Great Xia.
"Their minds have been brainwashed by the Bai shan Goddess; it’s impossible for them to genuinely join Great Xia. Keeping them around will only bring trouble."
His wife began to argue: "But there are always some people who don’t resent Great Xia. They haven’t done anything wrong; why should they pay the price of their lives for the faults of others?"
Wen Zehan didn’t respond directly but took another angle: "When initiating a military action, collateral damage to ordinary people should certainly be minimized.
"However, things shouldn’t be overcorrected, or a good deed will definitely turn into a bad one.
"If avoiding collateral damage is prioritized above all else, any military operation would be shackled, putting an invisible restraint on itself, only able to exert a fraction of its full strength.
"What’s worse, if the enemy notices this, they will undoubtedly use civilian cover more frequently.
"There’s even the possibility of kidnapping civilians, using them as human shields, putting even more civilians in danger."
His wife was speechless.
Because her husband was right, real-world examples abound.
Wen Zehan paused and summarized: "The best way to protect ordinary people is to decisively and swiftly eliminate the enemy through violent means."
His wife conceded: "Alright, you’re right."
She moved her lips, hesitatingly saying: "Killing so many Shapudian People at once, it still feels too cruel."
Wen Zehan posed a question: "If you had two choices, to let Great Xia People continue living well or to preserve these Shapudian People, which would you choose?"
His wife thought for a moment, then asked: "Can’t I choose both?"
Wen Zehan shook his head: "The Canglan Civilization will face more dangers in the future; to survive the crisis, Great Xia must constantly increase its strength. Right now, these Shapudian People have become obstacles to Great Xia’s improvements."
His wife remained silent for a while, then sighed: "Alright, then let these Shapudian People die."
Wen Zehan couldn’t help but laugh.
His wife glared at him: "What’s so funny?"
Wen Zehan quickly sat upright: "The attack is about to start; I need to begin monitoring the battlefield."
His wife glanced at him, then quietly walked out of the study.
Star light fluttered in mid-air, constantly flickering, clearly receiving a flood of information from the battlefield.

Thousands of kilometers away.
Lap Province, Danmad Village.
Qin Mao, bundled up like a bear, knelt under a two-meter-high statue, praying devoutly.
