“`
“Dongchuan City base, militia, guards, and other combat personnel amount to 30,000, with 210,000 survivors, ready to receive our kin. Dongchuan City isn’t like the Armed Forces, our military equipment is slightly inferior, and we face frequent attacks from Alien Race monsters, so bearing some hardship upon arrival is likely.”
The man looked up at Li Wenyuan; he was a middle-aged man with a haggard face, managing a weak smile: “King, Rongchuan isn’t dead, but I’m powerless, unable to save the people of Dongchuan.”
Jia Rongchuan, the civil servant of Dongchuan City, was also a young leader groomed and placed by Li Wenyuan.
In his early forties, normally refined and cultured, he now appeared in such a state, with a large scar on his left arm extending nearly to his neck from his shoulder.
“If you’re not dead, there’s hope, there is hope.”
...
Li Wenyuan’s tears flowed freely as he seemed to be moved by the sentiment of Jia Rongchuan and the others among the survivors.
Voice after voice began to rise.
“Val Town, militia strength 3,000, 50,000 survivors, ready to receive our kin.”
“Yundian City, militia 10,000 strong, 40,000 survivors, lacking food, but we can also receive our kin. Life will be hard, but we can survive.”
“Aliduo State’s Hongchuan Gorge, we only have 3,000 people, but we can also take in some of the neighboring kin.”
One voice after another rose up, the tones not loud, even timid and soft-spoken, but regardless of the tone, their voices were unfalteringly resolute.
In a daze, within the projection of this Spiritual World, one by one, sparks of light began to illuminate upon the projected map of our motherland.
City bases, town shelters, and even the survivor gathering points in certain neighborhoods or factories, they all spoke up, revealing their locations and the number of people they could take in.
This series of announcements seemed less like notifications of available aid and more like a ritual.
Lighting a torch, passing on the spark, a ritual to tell everyone that we’re not alone.
Not everyone chose to expose their location, to reveal their information, but that no longer mattered.
When some are willing to strive to save their kin, when the spark is ignited, that’s when the Star Torch linkage is truly successful.
Where there is hope, there is a chance for survival.
Finally, the voices became sparse, until a lone but unwavering voice rang out.
“Report, Tianshan Border Outpost: Armed Forces 1, survivor 1. I’m sorry, I can no longer protect any kin. Squad seven at the outpost has all died in battle, I can’t return, but I’ll guard the border. When the apocalypse passes, please take us home.”
The voice belonged to a young warrior. His projection showed him wearing a heavy military coat, his face flushed red, with clear signs of frostbite.
He was smiling, yet tears couldn’t help but spill from the corners of his eyes, as his empty sleeve swayed slightly.
Everyone who saw this felt a lump in their throat.
“Brother, I’m in Tianshan Town, I’ll come find you, you and I will guard Tianshan Town together...”
A man who had been silent until then suddenly spoke up. Tianshan Town was seventy to eighty kilometers away from the outpost, through mountain roads that were not easy to traverse, fraught with known perils.
The volume of information was vast, and although it was just simple information, it was what Long Xingyuan and his team had meticulously chosen as extremely useful for survival and development.
Unavoidably, the amount of information was immense.
Su Han looked towards Li Wenyuan and then said, “I’m going to Tianshan.”
Li Wenyuan immediately knew what Su Han intended to do, so he nodded and said, “Take care and thank you.”
A black vortex appeared in the Spiritual World, Su Han stepped into it, and instantly his consciousness returned to the real world.
Above Star Torch Square, the Star Torch Tree was still emitting dazzling light, the Spiritual World was still being maintained, and Su Han needed to continue pouring in energy.
Maintaining the Spiritual World on one hand and existing in the real world on the other, the drain was undoubtedly greater for him.
Bug Quality Rift!
Su Han directly ordered the Queen of Insect Tans to remotely open the Bug Quality Rift in Wushan City.
Hum
In an instant, the Bug Quality Rift within South City was activated, energy-filled, opening a spatial rift, pinpointing the location of Wushan City, and then opening a Bug Quality Rift at that end.
The Tianshan Border was far from South City; two thousand kilometers made it too distant to reach Zhang Di’s outpost in time.
Hence, Su Han required a waypoint, and Wushan City was just right.
Inside the Spiritual World, Su Han’s projection reflected off the Star Torch Tree and shone before everyone’s eyes, causing them all to look at each other in dismay.
“King, what is he doing?”
Jia Rongchuan spoke up, in reality, not just he, but everyone in the Spiritual World wanted to ask that question.
Li Wenyuan said, “He’s going to Tianshan.”
He looked at the young Armed Forces soldier and asked kindly, “Comrade, what’s your name?”
“Zhang Di, the ‘Zhang’ from Zhang Fa, and the ‘Di’ from Di Qing.”
“Zhang Di.”
Li Wenyuan nodded slightly and said, “Go back to the real world, take care of yourself, he will surely save you.”
Zhang Di became anxious, “No, didn’t he say it? That Fifth Order Monster is more powerful than a Third Order creature.”
Zhang Di did not know how strong a Fourth Order Monster or even a Fifth Order Monster could be.
He only knew that a Third Order creature could withstand grenades and easily break through concrete walls.
The monster before him could easily destroy mountains, an unstoppable existence.
He couldn’t let others take risks for his sake, let alone someone who had saved the lives of millions of survivors.
Li Wenyuan began to smile, “Don’t underestimate him; he is the strongest among us humans.”
