Chapter 1247: Let the Past Be the Past!
Over the next week.
The intelligence gathered by the ninjas and drones in their respective land and air domains regarding Jupiter increased.
As maps were formed one after another, the veil over this world was gradually lifted by the World Government.
Most areas were indeed covered by a large amount of vegetation and trees, but there were also many cities that looked long abandoned.
There were many zombies in these cities, large and small.
The ninjas discovered that they seemed to strongly dislike sunlight, so they hid in buildings during the day.
They would only become active at night, wandering the streets.
And when thick fog appeared in the air, they would follow the direction it spread.
Forming a long queue, they would approach the jungles where the magical plants lived.
Once they saw these magical plants, they would become agitated, start running with large strides, and frantically bite.
So the ninjas were very curious why the magical plants didn't actively attack the zombies during the day.
Unfortunately, they couldn't speak, so this remained a mystery.
Furthermore, how this thick fog came about and how it controlled the zombies was also unclear.
Three more days passed, and progress was made.
The ninjas actually made contact with a Rose Person in a castle who could speak English and had quite feminine characteristics.
She claimed to be the leader of all plants in this area, Druid Rose.
Crucially, her subsequent words greatly shocked the officials from various departments who had already set up camp on Jupiter.
They immediately sent the report back to the Sea Star System and then began reporting it layer by layer.
This Rose Person said she came from ancient times.
At that time, she used a crystal ball to see a terrifying future where this world was ruled by zombies.
So, in order to prevent this future from happening, at the price of the crystal ball shattering.
She gathered the magic power of all the Rose Witches at that time and forcefully opened a space-time channel to send herself alone to the present.
That was thirty years ago.
However, at that time, she had not yet evolved into Druid Rose.
"What do you think?"
Inside the Room of Authority, the Five Elders gathered. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, with his golden hair, sat on a single sofa with his legs crossed and asked.
"Are you talking about this Rose Witch, or the Zombie Kingdom?"
Saint Topman Warcury, who is in charge of politics and finance, countered him.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter thought for a moment and replied, "Let's talk about the Rose Witch first. Regarding her magic..."
"Magic that can open a space-time channel is indeed amazing, but didn't she say that she can no longer use this magic? She has neither the crystal nor that much magic power, so there's nothing to say."
Saint Topman Warcury said in a deep voice.
"I don't think so. A crystal that can see future visions might find a substitute, and magic power is even easier to solve."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter shook his head, saying his idea thoughtfully.
"If we can truly establish contact with the future World Government, the value of that would be unimaginable!"
Saint Topman Warcury frowned, "This old man thinks it would be very chaotic."
"Moreover, the future that connects with us may not be the future of this world, but might instead interfere with our normal judgment."
He seemed not to support connecting with the future.
"Let's talk about the current situation."
At this moment, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn spoke up, changing the subject.
"According to the introduction by this 'Druid Rose Witch', there are three other Rose Witches from other parallel worlds in ancient times on the entire Jupiter, but with different evolutionary directions."
"The four of them form the supreme leadership, managing all the magical plants in their respective areas."
"Then should we recognize them as human?"
Regarding this question, the other four looked at each other.
The key was that among the magical plants, it seemed only the Rose Witches could speak and had mature rational intelligence.
The others, although very smart and could understand human language.
Firstly, none of them could speak, and secondly, they all seemed very simple, so they were more like animals with higher intelligence?
"This old man believes that only beings who can communicate using language, whose intelligence reaches the level of a normal person, and who possess self-emotion, can be regarded as intelligent life, which is 'human'."
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, who is in charge of the military, held the Shodai Kitetsu in his arms and calmly expressed his view.
"So, only the Rose Witches are accepted as 'human'?" Saint Saturn asked with a smile.
Saint Topman Warcury nodded, "Yes, if there are other similar magical plants, they can also be included."
"Speaking of which, this 'Druid Rose' mentioned that the creator of these magical plants is a man named 'Dave', who was also the only surviving human after the zombie doomsday, but he mysteriously disappeared six years ago. I think we should arrange personnel to look for him."
Saint Marcus Mars, who had been listening, suddenly spoke.
He is in charge of technology affairs and is particularly concerned about this kind of 'research talent'.
"I have a question."
At this moment, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter spoke again.
"Is Jupiter considered a conquered world or an unconquered world? If it's the former, shouldn't the intelligence mission be the responsibility of CP?"
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro glanced at the other party, "If there were no Zombie Kingdom, it would be considered a conquered world, as there would be no need to deploy military troops. But now..."
He knew this guy had always wanted the Sea Ninja Village to return under his command.
Of course, not affiliated with CP as before.
But standing equal to it, at the same rank, just one focusing internally and the other externally.
The reason was that ninjas are also part of the intelligence department, and this attribute would continuously strengthen.
As for ninjas with extremely outstanding strength like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
They could be given the identity of Honorary Admiral and be ready to be dispatched by the Command Department at any time.
It actually made a lot of sense.
But Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro didn't want to hand it over. His reason was that ninjas must closely cooperate with the military in combat.
"Then let's talk about this Zombie Kingdom."
A look of displeasure flashed in Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's eyes.
"There's nothing to say. Let the Main Battle Legion eliminate the majority, and send the rest to the Reincarnation Paradise to be used as training subjects for the Astral Legion of the Giant World!"
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's tone became forceful.
Then Saint Marcus Mars added, "The Biochemical Research Institute also needs some."
"I mean, according to 'Druid Rose', the Zombie Kingdom also has zombies with higher intelligence. They even have something called Zombie University. Should these zombies be considered 'human'?"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter looked at his colleagues with a half-smile.
The four immediately fell silent.
After a moment, Saint Marcus Mars was the first to speak, "If the research level is high enough, can they be absorbed into the Biochemical Research Institute..."
His tone sounded a bit hesitant.
"No, Lord Imu once said that any creature that feeds on humans is forbidden by the World Government!
"Their only destinations are three places: the Netherworld, the Reincarnation Paradise, and the Biochemical Research Institute!"
Saint Topman Warcury, sitting in the center of the green sofa, sternly interrupted Saint Marcus Mars.
"But wasn't Muzan Kibutsuji, formerly a 'Demon' who used to eat people?"
"He was allowed to join because he no longer needed to eat people. Otherwise, he would still just be an experimental subject to this day..."
Saint Topman Warcury replied in a deep voice.
The World Government doesn't care about what these otherworld figures were like in the past, only what they are like in the present and future.
After all, if they were to get conflicted about the past and history.
The sins on their bodies were countless times greater than Muzan Kibutsuji's.
So the important thing is the present and future. As for the past, let it be the past.
Over the next week.
