Chapter 1144: Chapter 676: The City That Was Extinguished (Part 2)
Someone jokingly said, “Your academic performance has nothing to do with the environment. Even if you’re placed here, you’d still be a slacker.”
Everyone was chatting and laughing, except for Luo Wanya, who remained serious, lost in thought.
The Time Travelers watched as over a hundred family members walked past, instinctively making way.
These 132 family members looked different from the academy students. They had traversed various cities for battles, leaving them with scars and a fierce demeanor.
The students watched them head towards the Agricultural College, realizing these were the fierce generals under the ‘Little Dean’.
Little Dean was the respectful name for Qing Chen among the Time Travelers in the academy.
The ‘little’ was added because Qing Chen was quite young, making it sound more endearing.
As the family members passed through, Chen Sui and Jiu Ran watched silently from the square.
The leaders of various clubs were also watching.
Everyone clearly realized the true gap between their organizations and the Daylight.
At the entrance of the Agricultural College, Luo Wanya knocked on the door.
The small iron gate opened, and he led the family members inside one by one.
“Family Head,” Luo Wanya said, looking at Qing Chen.
Just as he finished speaking, Xiaosan and others behind Luo Wanya shouted mightily, “Greetings, Family Head!”
In that instant, it was as if Qing Chen was transported to the entrance of The Axe Gang on Haicheng’s Bund in the early 20th century.
And he was the gang leader of The Axe Gang…
“Don’t bother with such formalities,” Qing Chen waved his hand and said, “Everyone go help with work. Work during the day, cultivate at night, and don’t stop for a moment.”
Qing Chen left Luo Wanya alone, and the two walked to the city sand table on the square, observing the energetic students.
Qing Chen softly said, “Many people will die this time.”
“I understand,” Luo Wanya nodded, “I’ve already prepared them on the way here. But boss, you don’t need to worry, they are the best warriors in the Parents’ Meeting.”
“How many family members are in City 10?” Qing Chen asked.
“12,003, but most aren’t Time Travelers. There are only 812 Time Travelers, and a total of 1,281 have practiced the Quanzhen Method, mostly at E-Class, with 211 at D-Class, and 7 at C-Class including Xiaosan.”
Luo Wanya had a comprehensive understanding of City 10’s personnel, indicating that this Black Family Member had put in great effort.
A manager who can only vaguely report a “over ten thousand people” count of their subordinates is undoubtedly a failure.
Not striving for details makes one unfit to expand territories.
Luo Wanya continued, “Each city’s Parents’ Meeting has liaison officers, a role established to guard against telecommunication base station monitoring. 120 liaison officers can traverse the entire city on motorcycles within an hour, gathering all 12,003 family members together, united like a rope. Now, they will come in handy.”
Qing Chen said, “I need them to gather the family members and inform all residents along the way that a disaster will occur… Lao Luo, do you know what they’ll face?”
“They will be recorded by cameras along the way, then labeled as Parent Association Members. Regardless of what happens in City 10, they won’t be able to live within the Federation anymore,” Luo Wanya said.
“But even so, I still require them to do this,” Qing Chen looked at Luo Wanya, “Lao Luo, will you question my decision? Sacrificing family members to save those innocent residents, even if those residents won’t understand or thank you.”
Luo Wanya was silent for a long time, “I won’t question any of your decisions.”
Qing Chen nodded, “Once the family members are gathered, I require them to hold the Third District and forbid anyone from retreating.”
Qing Chen pointed at the sand table, “Only when the academy’s Time Travelers prove the entry checkpoint can be passed, they can lead the Third District residents out. Otherwise, even if they die, they must help me hold the passage from other districts into the Third District. That’s the lifeline for everyone. At that time, you must guard there with the residents, awaiting the Federation Army’s rescue.”
Qing Chen: “But City 10 is a political center. To avoid suspicion, all Federation Armies are stationed 600 kilometers away. In the battle at Taboo Land 002, each consortium moved their troops for military exercises, meaning support won’t come quickly.”
Qing Chen: “Moreover, what’s coming may not be support but war. You need to block all sewers in the Third District immediately, then guard Dragon Scale Road, Union Road, and Riverside Road. These are the main roads leading to the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Districts respectively.”
“Many will die,” Luo Wanya said heavily.
Qing Chen stood in the vast square, looking at the sand table in front of him, “But that’s the purpose of the Parents’ Meeting’s existence, Lao Luo. Only by genuinely helping this world will this world be willing to help us. If the world and fate require us to sacrifice in this catastrophe to prove our sincerity in changing the world, I don’t mind being one of the sacrifice. The family members might not understand my decision, but they must execute it, Lao Luo. Have them hold the Third District for me, that’s an order.”
Luo Wanya was silent again. A long time later, he suddenly asked, “Boss, making a decision to send everyone to their deaths, it doesn’t feel good, does it?”
