"That won’t be necessary. Involving ordinary Warriors against High-tier Monsters would only cause massive, unnecessary casualties. I will lead the Extraordinaries from Mo University there myself."
Lin Qi refused Ding Yang’s kind offer.
re numbers are aningless against Tier Three and Tier Four Monsters.
Take the Tier Three Monster in Beining District, for instance. If that monster hadn’t been dormant, then no matter how many ordinary people were sent, they would all have died.
Only Extraordinaries with a certain level of Spiritual Power could resist them.
Ding Yang hesitated for a mont, apparently weighing the pros and cons.
’Sending people along would be a way to help, but it would also be a chance to proactively gather intelligence.’ ’Not just on Shuining City, but on Lin Qi himself.’ This was one of the tasks his superiors had assigned him.
But in the end, Ding Yang gave up on the idea of sending soone to follow.
Just as Lin Qi had said, the dangers of Tier Three and Tier Four Monsters were plain to see.
The tragedy in Beining District was still fresh in his mind, and Ding Yang didn’t want to see his own Warriors lose their lives for this.
Since he had chosen to cooperate with Lin Qi, Ding Yang was willing to extend a certain degree of trust.
"Alright. Please begin the operation as soon as possible, Lin Qi. I’m worried the crisis in Shuining City will escalate too quickly."
After exchanging a few more words with Lin Qi, Ding Yang left the conference room and hurried back to the Hongshan Camp with Jiang Zhenlong.
As for Lin Qi, he didn’t dawdle either.
He gave instructions to Wang Ziru: "I’m taking Wei Yue to the Hongshan Camp. Make sure you have people watch the other three and supervise them closely. If they try to run, you have my authorization to open fire."
The people Lin Qi intended to bring were not the Extraordinaries from the Mo University Camp. Most of them were only Tier One, so they wouldn’t be much help and might even beco a burden.
He was bringing Wei Yue because the matter involved the Moon Worshipers, and she might play so unexpected role.
"Understood."
Wang Ziru didn’t ask for any details, he just ticulously carried out every one of Lin Qi’s orders.
Confident in leaving the camp to Wang Ziru, Lin Qi activated his Spiritual Vision and located Wei Yue.
...
「Two hours later,」
Lin Qi, piloting the cha, arrived at the Hongshan Camp.
Inside the Hongshan Camp, the sound of the cha’s footsteps approaching the station drew the attention of nearly every survivor.
"My God, what is that thing? A cha? Huh?"
"Is that thing real? With a cha like that, what do we have to fear from the apocalypse?"
"So the governnt’s power is still this strong after the apocalypse?"
The appearance of the cha sent a powerful shock through the survivors in the Hongshan Camp.
Although the Electromagnetic Weapons and Exoskeleton Equipnt that Lin Qi had given the Hongshan Camp were in no way technologically inferior to this M-Class cha—so components were even more advanced—their visual impact was nowhere near as stunning.
Ding Yang received the news and ca to greet him personally, guiding Lin Qi to pilot the cha toward the tracks where the locomotive was waiting.
Piloting the cha to the side of the tracks, Lin Qi saw an old-fashioned, green locomotive.
’The last ti I saw sothing this retro was back in college, in my past life.’
’During holidays and when returning to school, I could never get tickets for the high-speed rail and had to take the old green trains.’
’Co to think of it, almost twenty years have passed since those mories.’
Lin Qi was already on the verge of completely integrating into this Cyber Society.
"Lin Qi, be careful while piloting the cha. Try not to damage the tracks."
"My apologies for the accommodations, but the only car that can transport your cha is an open-top coal car."
On the tracks, a locomotive was connected to a solitary open-top coal car. The inside of the car was sowhat blackened, clearly not having been cleaned after transporting coal.
Lin Qi didn’t mind. At worst, the cha’s exterior would get a little dirty, but it wouldn’t affect its combat effectiveness at all.
He maneuvered the cha into a crouching position inside the open-top coal car, then erged with Wei Yue.
They t Ding Yang on the platform.
"Lin Qi, you’ve done a huge favor by bringing your cha to our Hongshan Camp this ti. I really must thank you."
"How so?"
Lin Qi was a little confused. ’What did I do? How did I help?’
Ding Yang explained, "There’s been a lot of trouble in the Hongshan Camp lately. The survivors have been too well-protected by the Hongshan Rescue Team, and ever since we received the weapons you provided, the camp’s living resources have beco much more abundant."
"With full bellies and warm clothes, troublemakers start to stir. They think the governnt’s power is insufficient now, and that even if the camp uses harsh asures, it would be difficult to punish the masses."
"But after your cha showed up today, Lin Qi, those troublemakers will be much more wary."
Managing a Survivor Camp placed no small amount of pressure on Ding Yang.
In the apocalypse, people’s hearts and minds change too quickly. Even with ard suppression, it’s hard to cover all the bases.
Lin Qi finally understood. So it was an issue of survivors causing trouble in the camp.
That kind of thing didn’t happen at the Mo University Camp.
The survivors at the Mo University Camp were generally of a higher caliber. Plus, under Wang Ziru’s arrangents, everyone’s daily life was both very full and exhausting.
’Cause trouble?’
’Who has the energy for that?’
The Hongshan Camp, on the other hand, had a huge number of survivors and only a small rescue team.
Even if they tried to imitate the pre-apocalypse systems of neighborhood committees and grid managers, it would be difficult to achieve good results.
As for making the survivors work?
The Hongshan Camp didn’t have much need for production-related jobs at the mont. Most of the work involved going out with weapons to gather resources.
