Chapter 391: All Hail the Almighty Su, A Promise From the Community!
At a certain stage, the increase in population could be seen as a meal too delicious to give up. However, at another stage, it could also become an extremely strong poison.
When Lu Yongyi’s ‘excited’ shouting ended, the other people sitting in the cabin did not express any dissenting opinions nor did they agree with him.
Of course, there was a trace of pity on everyone’s faces. They were looking at each other and shaking their heads, not batting an eyelid.
He had been such a good leader. Now, he had gone crazy just from this.
Yes, at this moment, after seeing Lu Yongyi’s performance, no one took him seriously.
Even the captains who had previously firmly supported Lu Yongyi had a trace of sadness and confusion on their faces at this time. Their expectations for the future had completely tanked.
The situation was getting out of control. Their big s.h.i.+p was merely an ant that was slightly stronger at best, and they would have no real resistance in the face of a real disaster.
After the ecstasy on Lu Yongyi’s face faded ten seconds later, he put on an expression of unabashed confidence again.
This time, the people in the cabin were shocked!
“Shelter Leader Lu, no way. You can’t be serious. Are we really going to continue to link these raft refugees?”
“Now our battlefront has been stretched to two and a half miles long. If we keep gathering them, we will not be able to defend our battlefront even if it’s stretched to 10 or 20 miles.”
“Shelter Leader Lu, please think twice. A few of us can still use the absorbent gum to resist the last wave of the tsunami disaster, but normal civilians will surely die!”
“If we work hard, we can save a lot of these people, but if that initial number is tripled or quintupled, unless… Unless you become the Almighty Su, this will surely be a deadly failure!”
“…”
Everyone was speaking at the same time, and at this moment, no one was saying that they had given up.
Just like the broken windows theory, when there were few rafts, everyone found it difficult or almost impossible to accept these other people.
However, according to the data reported by Zhang Long, the number of these rafts might surge to 30 thousand or 50 thousand in three days…
With their current number of over 10 thousand rafts, everyone could accept them in an instant, and they had also thought about how to resist and break up the situation.
Lu Yongyi, who was standing in the center of the conference room, did not rush to refute these people. Instead, he gestured with one hand, signaling everyone to be quiet for the time being.
Thanks to the acc.u.mulation of power in the past few days, the dozen or so captains of the big s.h.i.+ps in the conference room quickly calmed down.
For a short while, there was only the sound of everyone’s slightly heavy breathing in the cabin.
Their eyes were fixed on Lu Yongyi’s face, and they were waiting to see what he would do next.
“What if the tsunami disaster on the last day doesn’t come, but instead, ends immediately?” Lu Yongyi asked while staring at the chat box on the game panel. He did not directly answer everyone’s questions.
It was easy to say, but when the words had sunken into everyone’s hearts…
A monstrous wave emerged in an instant!
What? The last day of the tsunami disaster would not come? It would immediately end?
With this, everyone suddenly became restless. Although they were holding themselves back, they still had looks of surprise and disbelief on their faces.
At present, if they were to cla.s.sify the threat to human beings in the ocean…
If they cla.s.sified the threat of gathering all foreign races, encircling billions of human beings, and starting a three-clan war as a first-level threat, then the threat to human beings would be several times that threat on the last day of this tsunami. It could be seen as a level five threat, or even a level ten one!
In the twelve battlefield areas and the surrounding waters, the fluctuation of the tsunami on the seventh day would be more than ten times worse than the first day, according to the advance notice for the disaster.
Although the hundreds-of-meters-tall waves rising from the sea surface would not hit them directly, it was the same as previous rains and storms.
After the waves lost momentum in the air, they would quickly fall with the acceleration of gravity, smas.h.i.+ng violently against the sea.
It would be fine if this kind of smash was only a single blow. Humans would still be able to support themselves by relying on the excess absorbent gum from the last rainstorm.
However, judging from the current situation, this kind of smas.h.i.+ng would last for a full twelve hours and would happen as many as two hundred times!
Under the attack of such terrifying waves, even a large s.h.i.+p would be riddled with holes if it had not fallen apart by the end of the disaster. It would be very difficult to maintain.
Needless to say, a raft could be smashed into pieces with just one wave.
Because of this, the captains of these large s.h.i.+ps would be anxious when more and more rafts gathered near the fleet and completely exceeded the damage repair limit that the fleet could withstand after the tsunami.
However, if the tsunami did not come on the last day…
Looking at the suntanned faces of the people around him and then back at Lu Yongyi, who was standing in the center with his brows completely stretched out, everyone instantly understood what Lu Yongyi had said earlier.
“Shelter Leader Lu, on the last day, are we fighting…”
With a little speculation and shock, as someone who used to be in favor of abandoning the rafts, a huge change took place in Zhang Long’s mind.
He had figured out this bold plan in his heart based on Lu Yongyi’s previous words.
“Yes, I’ve got the complete message, and within the next two hours, all our official s.h.i.+ps will also receive instructions from the higher-ups.
“We have a solution to this tsunami disaster, but the price is that we have to fight…
“The three-clan war!”
Not keeping everyone in suspense, after saying the last sentence, Lu Yongyi turned off the panel. His face was full of unprecedented fort.i.tude.
His fists were clenched, but unlike the previous trembling caused by the entanglement, this time, everyone could feel the murderous aura that suddenly emanated from him.
The generals of the civilized era were all kind and amiable.
However, if you could find those precious videos of them during wartime, you could see that there was undisguised murderousness in their eyes.
Now, Lu Yongyi looked like them.
Human beings had never been afraid of strong enemies, and they were not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, especially the Huaxians.
Fighting against natural disasters was beyond the scope of these people’s thinking, so it would make them feel at a loss.
Then, you would suddenly tell them that your goals had changed. It was no longer unknown natural disasters, but tangible foreign races!
You would win if you killed all of these foreign races.
The change of target would not make these people feel lost. It would instead…
Give them unimaginable excitement and an unfathomable thrill!
The fighting genes lying dormant in the Huaxians bodies had not faded away just because of half a century of peace.
In less than five minutes, when the captains in the room began to receive direct notifications from officials one after another, the previously-lifeless conference room was suddenly filled with a trace of anxiety.
Lu Yongyi did not interrupt these people as they accepted the messages that were sent out.
Sitting in the center of the conference room, he violently grabbed at something from the void.
A large drawing board with a length of about five feet and a width of two to two and a half feet appeared and landed on the table.
Then, he took out the first three sheets of white paper from the drawing board with great distress, leaving only the last one on the board.
When it detected that only the final piece of paper was left and sensed what Lu Yongyi intended to do, an image of an ink painting slowly appeared on this piece of paper.
After observing these images for a while, everyone instantly reflected on what the colors of the image represented.
The red dots represented humans.
The black dots represented the foreign races.
From the number of dots, human beings had completely overwhelmed the foreign races. There were as many as 70 thousand of them.
There were not even 10 thousand black spots in the end.
However, in terms of behavior, these black dots were not losing out just because of their numbers, and they had some power over the red dots. They looked like a pocket firmly holding the 70 thousand red dots within them.
“Shelter Leader Lu, are we going to fight now?”
As the most powerful s.h.i.+p owner of all s.h.i.+ps aside from Tundra One, Zhang Long immediately reacted as he looked at the map.
Just like when he had been determined to abandon it all, a murderous aura spilled from his mouth when he said he was going to fight.
“We’ll fight! Since we have decided to fight in the three-clan war, keeping these beasts will only make it more and more difficult for us. We might as well take advantage of the current situation.
“We’ll find a way to get them first!”
Looking at everyone in front of him, Lu Yongyi slammed his hand on the table and set the tone.
This time, the other captains sitting in the cabin did not say anything contradictory. They immediately began to discuss battle plans based on the data on the map!
…
[Lu Yongyi: Su Mo, I have received all the news!]
[Lu Yongyi: I have forwarded it all to our Dragon Flag Shelter and they are reporting this to the shelter leader. We will notify you as soon as there is news.]
[Lu Yongyi: Shelter Leader Long has approved your proposal and is in the process of negotiating plans with other large shelters.]
[Lu Yongyi: The plan has been agreed to and approved. Now there are a total of 694800 official s.h.i.+ps in the wasteland ocean. They have been notified one after another and will start to act in accordance with the plan immediately. It is expected that more than 80% of people will be gathered within two days.]
[Lu Yongyi: The meticulous division of our battlefield area will be completed within four hours. After that, I will send you the map of the divided battlefield area.]
[Lu Yongyi: Su Mo, your contribution this time is just in time for us human beings! Shelter Leader Long and the shelter leaders of other top-level shelters thank you immensely for your contribution to mankind! After this battle is over, the community, who will have a newly-established shared future with mankind will not let you sacrifice yourself in vain. There will be real rewards for you. Anyway, all hail the Almighty Su!]
The previous night was a sleepless night for Su Mo. When he woke up, it was eleven o’clock in wasteland time again.
Su Mo immediately opened the game panel and checked all the information sent by Lu Yongyi.
There were six messages and the time between each message was no more than half an hour.
It could be seen that in the wasteland, after implementing the great principle of respecting strength, the speed of handling emergencies in large human shelters had also kept up with the times.
In just an hour, all the large s.h.i.+ps in the wasteland that were related to the officials had received the news from the official release.
In the next two days, humans would have a ‘race’ with foreign races!
Once these raft warriors and large s.h.i.+ps were united, they would at least have a chance to save their lives even if their combat power was still not enough to attack foreign races.
These gathering spots for humans would not be in any danger until the foreign races had a.s.sembled teams of sufficient sizes.
When the war began, even if there were human casualties, it would not be so unacceptable.
According to the calculations of the data model, around 40% of human beings could eventually go to the New World.
This quant.i.ty was extremely impressive!
