Chapter 418 Let’s go on the road with peace of mind
...
Seeing that Ger ignored him and continued to make rows of bookshelves disappear, Dr. Clover became anxious. He suddenly remembered that the three book thieves were brought by Dorag, so he stood up and grabbed Dorag's clothes and asked anxiously.
"Dragon?! What's going on? What are they doing? This is a precious and irreplaceable asset of all mankind!"
Dorag looked helpless, thinking to himself that he also wanted to know what he was doing, so he had no choice but to look up and ask:
"Mr. Chopper, what are you doing?"
"Ah, Long, you've seen it too. These guys have read so much that their brains have become stupid. Not only are they stupid, but they're also very stubborn. We came all the way here to help them evacuate, but they're still dithering here, saying they can't leave these books behind. It's really ridiculous."
"Hey, you bastard, how can you say that? The doctor and everyone else gave up retreating in order to protect these precious books!"
Olivia defended.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Ger burst into laughter.
The "hearty" laughter successfully attracted the hostile gazes of all the scholars. Dorag was caught in the middle and didn't know what to say and could only look embarrassed.
Ger wiped the tears from his eyes and said.
"Please, understand the situation first before arguing with me. Don't think you can talk without thinking just because you are pretty."
Olivia looked embarrassed, not sure whether she was being praised or scolded.
"First of all, they came here for you scholars who are illegally studying history, not for these books. If you weren't here, these books might have a chance to survive. It was you who insisted on staying and taking these books with you to perish, yet you claimed that you were protecting the precious treasures of all mankind? What did you have to protect?"
"So, ask yourself, what you really can't let go of is these books, or your ridiculous reputation and so-called integrity?"
"this?"
All the scholars were shocked and speechless for a moment.
Ivankov secretly gave a thumbs up and sighed that he was worthy of being Boss Gel. So many world-class archaeologists were left speechless by what he said.
Want to have a verbal fight with Boss Gel?
Senior and Moria looked disdainful, as they were no longer surprised.
After being shocked, Dr. Clover fell into self-doubt. Was he really doing this to protect these precious books?
If these scholars evacuate here, the World Government and the Navy will definitely be lured away, and the library seems to have a greater chance of being preserved.
"Haha, because of your stupidity, this place will soon be bombed by the warships of the Demon Slayer Order, and this largest library in the world will be burned down. I don't want to see these precious books destroyed in your hands. It just so happens that I have the ability to take them away, so why can't I do this?"
"This is not stealing. Since these are precious treasures belonging to all mankind, I have a share of them. Unlike you who are prepared to protect these books with your mouths, I am the one who really doesn't want to see this irreplaceable treasure belonging to all mankind destroyed in the flames of war!"
Gel spread his hands and said in a rogue manner.
"Okay everyone, I will help you solve your worries perfectly. You no longer have to worry about anything, so you can go on your journey with peace of mind!"
"you…"
Dozens of knowledgeable archaeologists present almost vomited blood when they heard this.
Brother, if you had the ability, you should have told me earlier. We gave up on escaping because we couldn't leave these precious books behind.
Now that we can take all the books with us, shouldn't you persuade us to retreat again? I'm sure everyone will agree to it this time! After all, the research is not yet completed, and dying like this will always leave some regrets.
But this guy actually let them go on their way without any worries? Was he really here to save people?
"These books are O'Hara's heritage! You can't just take them away without saying anything!"
"Correct!"
"And how do you know that this place will be destroyed in the war? We have experienced many inspections by the World Government before, and we have successfully dealt with them all."
After all, they are intellectuals, so the scholars spoke politely and did not swear directly.
"Putting your hopes on the enemy's mercy is stupid, so don't shout so loudly. It's embarrassing."
Gel continued to collect books while arguing with the scholars.
"Damn it, why are you swearing again?!"
"... "
"Stop talking!"
"PhD?"
Dr. Clover came to his senses and stopped everyone. He looked at Gel and spoke.
"Perhaps Mr. Chopper is right. We can't continue to take chances."
"Oh? Finally someone who understands?"
Ger said with a smile.
"Mr. Chopper, you can take these books away, but I hope you can promise us to keep these books safe and allow people who like to read and want to read to freely read these books!"
"This is O'Hara's precious knowledge, the result of the hard work of countless generations over thousands of years. I hope it can be passed down, so that we will have no regrets even if we die here."
"This is Dr. Why! You can take the books with you now, just evacuate with us! With Mr. Chopper and I here, dealing with the Navy's Demon Slayer Order won't be a problem! Why do you want to stay and die?"
Dorag asked in confusion.
"No, Long, I appreciate your kindness! Although I also want to continue living and continue studying history, the World Government is determined to get rid of us this time. They will not stop until we are all killed. The threat must be completely eradicated, otherwise they will be unable to sleep or eat. So if we escape with you, it will only cause you to be targeted by the World Government, and it will also kill other scholars studying history around the world. I can't do this."
Dr. Clover said seriously.
"As long as we get these books out, countless outstanding archaeologists will be born in the future! One day, someone will fulfill our long-cherished wish of uncovering the truth of history!"
"That's absolutely right, Dr. Kloba!"
"That's right, let's divert the attention of the World Government and the Navy!"
"Please, Mr. Dragon! Mr. Chopper! You must take these books out safely!"
"Everyone, come together and help move all the books in the basement out!"
"okay!"
Everyone agreed and rolled up their sleeves to get to work.
Gel shook his head. He neither stopped nor paid any attention to these idiots who were always thinking of sacrificing themselves. He just took the time to continue stealing books.
...
O'Hara waters
Ten huge naval headquarters-class warships were lined up and anchored here.
On the deck of the leading warship, four generals wearing cloaks of justice were standing or lying together, killing the boring waiting time.
"Hasn't the ship sent by the World Government arrived yet?"
One of the men wearing a navy duckbill hat said dissatisfiedly.
"Reporting to Lieutenant General Sakaski, we have contacted him and he said they are on their way at full speed. We should just wait patiently and don't rush them anymore."
"Damn bastards! The commander-in-chief was the last to arrive. How did the World Government train such a bunch of rubbish like CP!"
Sakaski said angrily.
