Extra — Alice (Part One)

d on the three dice inside. They all showed a five. He had lost again.The croupier beside her had beads of sweat on his forehead, bewildered by how he'd lost. He couldn't understand why his usual winn...In the third year of the reign of Longqi, after Ye Bufan calmed the artificial intelligence's judgment, Earth gradually began to recover its vitality, and people's lives also gradually returned to normal.

But that's the way the world is, where there's sunshine, there's also shadow. When everything flourishes, some people with ulterior motives begin to stir.

South America, about 100 kilometers from the Samba Nation, there is a group of islands. The largest one among them covers an area of dozens of square kilometers but has no name.

The climate here is pleasant, the vegetation on the island is lush, and the center is filled with a variety of buildings. The roads are well-paved, making it look like a bustling small town.

Originally, decades ago, the Great Dog Nation had been worried about its islands sinking. It began to expand outward using its funds, with Samba Nation as a key target. Millions of people were migrated there early on.

This island is home to roughly two or three hundred thousand inhabitants, but they all belong to one power—the Ishikawa family.

In the Land of Great Dogs, the Ishikawa family is absolutely renowned. They are most devoted to militarism. Many of the war criminals enshrined there come from this family or their affiliated forces.

Because of their ambitious nature, the Ishikawa family took the lead in overseas expansion, acquiring this island outright and beginning to amass their power.

The head of the household, Ishii Yuichi, is a very intelligent person. To prevent others from discovering his ambitions, he has made many things here independent, including not connecting to the world wide web.

These were originally measures taken to prevent detection by China and the United States, but they unexpectedly became talismans, allowing them to survive the disaster unharmed by the robots.

In the center of the island, a secret room where several core members are currently holding a meeting.

Seated in the center was the head of the household, Ishikava Yuichi. Beside him sat his younger brother, Ishikava Jiro, along with core members Ishikava Kenji, Ishikava Tomohiro, and Ishikava Miwa.

Ishikawa Kazuo's gaze turned to Ishikawa Jiro: "How is our troop formation coming along"

Ishikawa Jiro bowed his head: “Progress has not been smooth. Resources are scarce here, and we have to avoid being discovered by the Chinese side. Now we can only equip an army of 20,000.”

"Damn it, too slow! What can 20,000 men do When will we take over the entire Samba region When will we restore the former glory of our great Inugak nation!"

After the sinking of four islands in the Great Dog Nation, many overseas Great Dog Nation people were still greedy for power, especially the Ishikawa family, who kept recruiting soldiers and buying horses.

According to their plan, they would amass enough strength first to swallow the Samba Nation, and then, using that as a base, expand outwards to establish a new Great Dog Nation.

But besides China, other nations have suffered varying degrees of devastation from artificial intelligence, including Samba Nation. It has yet to fully recover and lacks the resources and weaponry to build a powerful army.

Furthermore, this action has to be done secretly to avoid being noticed by the Chinese side.

Ishikawa Jiro bowed his head: "My apologies, Lord. It was my incompetence. Please punish me as you see fit!"

"Master, relying on the army to rebuild the Great Dog Nation doesn't seem easy. Perhaps we could consider a different approach."

Ishikawa Kenji is the speaker. He's also the strategist of the entire Ishikawa family, cunning and devious by nature.

Ishikawa Kazuo let out a cold snort: “Besides building a powerful army, what other options are there”

Ishikawa Kenji said: "Master, I think this road is really not easy to walk. Now that Ye Bufan has returned, the entire China is thriving. Whether it's the military or cultivators, they are unmatched. We might even invite a disaster."

"If we are destroyed again, the Great Power will be finished."

Ishikawa Yuichi said: "So what For world domination, for the restoration of imperial glory, we would die without hesitation."

Ishikawa Kenji said, "I admire the homeowner's spirit, but some things still require a proper approach. If we take a different path, it might be easier and have a much higher success rate."

"What on earth do you want to say Just get to the point," Ishikawa Jiro grumbled.

Ishikawa Kenji let out a chilling smile: “I mean, I want to conquer the world. Sometimes you don’t always have to use an army. There are other ways, like a virus!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed. Ishigakau Yuuichi looked serious and said, "Tell us more about it."

Ishikawa Kenji said in a sinister tone: "Viruses are good things. As long as there are people, they are useful. Those fools in the US used them before and it worked well, but their only goal was to make money."

If we went in a different direction, using this to conquer the world, spreading the virus and infecting everyone.

The life-saving antidote is once again in our hands, and then everyone will be our slaves, everything will be under our feet. Rebuilding the Great Dog Nation would be child's play.

To be precise, the entire world belonged to us back then, not just a single nation.

Before the power of our virus, both the cultivators of China and their armies will kneel at our feet and beg for mercy.

His words fell silent, and a shift in the expressions of those present was palpable. Ishikawa Tomomi spoke up, saying: "The logic is simple, but where would we even get a virus with that kind of power"

"The reason I didn't bring this idea up before is because we don't have a strong enough virus in our possession."

Ishikawa Kenji said, "But now it's different. Over the past few years, I've sent many people all over the world to collect information, and now we are seeing great results."

Undoubtedly, the country that excels most in virus research is the US. They previously appropriated research findings made by our ancestors in China and have since established nearly a thousand laboratories worldwide.

Including those large biopharmaceutical companies, have also been pouring a lot of money into this kind of research, and are close to success.

And this time, after the AI crisis, the United States suffered severe devastation and was in shambles. Many materials leaked out.

I took advantage of this, reading through their books or buying or stealing them, or using other means, to collect all of their research findings and claim them as my own.

To put it mildly, we now possess the world's most formidable viruses and data.

"Really You've done a great job!"

After hearing this, Ishikawa Kazuo was overjoyed. "So what do you say we do next"

"Now we are just one small step away from developing a lethal virus. The next step is to gather the world's top biopharmaceutical researchers and have them take that step."

"As long as we succeed, we won't even need a powerful army to become the masters of the entire planet!"

"Well said, let's do it!"

Ishikawa Yuichi immediately decided, and everyone agreed without objection. A huge conspiracy unfolded on this small island.
