Chapter 1093: Logistics Management and Evacuation
Chapter 1093: Logistics Management and Evacuation
February 16, 2023
"Hmm..." Su Yu fell into deep thought, remaining silent for a long time.
After a while, he finally looked up at Donna and asked, "Which of these two possibilities do you think is more likely?"
"I don't know," Donna shook her head. "Both scenarios are possible, and I wouldn't be surprised if both were happening simultaneously. Of course, there could be other situations we haven't considered, so we can't make a definitive conclusion."
"What a complex situation!" Su Yu couldn't help but rub his aching forehead.
Since ascending to the Divine Realm, this was the first time he felt such a headache.
"I don't have any more information than this. If anything new comes up from the Hymn, I'll let you know."
...
With that, Su Yu and Donna ended their conversation.
Neither of them knew the true situation, so they could only wait and see how things developed before making any judgments.
Su Yu didn't waste any time. After ending the call with Donna, he immediately sent the two possibilities to the "Blue Planet Supreme Council" group chat.
Seeing Su Yu's new message, the group remained silent for a long time.
After about two minutes, Councilor Hu Jing finally analyzed the situation in the chat:
"If we consider just these two possibilities, I'm more inclined to believe the second one.
The reason is simple—there's no logical reason for the Hymn to give us a particularly rare AI. Doing so would definitely affect the balance of the war, which doesn't make sense."
Zhong Feng: "Yeah, Councilor is right. I also think it's the second scenario. The Hymn system must be malfunctioning, causing frequent low-level errors."
Old Meng: "Agreed."
Xiao Tian: "Agreed."
Su Yu replied, "But have you considered that if the Hymn system is malfunctioning, the first possibility could also occur simultaneously? These two things don't conflict, right?"
Zhong Feng, Xiao Tian, Old Meng: "..."
(About half a minute of silence)
Councilor Hu Jing: "Su Yu, what do you think we should do now?"
Su Yu: [Sigh emoji] "There's nothing we can do; we can only wait and see how things develop."
Su Yu: "If we wait 3 to 6 days, maybe the Blue Whale will complete its upgrade, and then everything will be clearer. If it doesn't, we'll figure out a plan then."
Councilor Hu Jing: "Sigh, that's all we can do."
...
With that, the discussion about the Blue Whale's upgrade had to be put on hold.
The Blue Planet's leadership had more pressing matters to handle, so this issue was temporarily set aside.
Currently, the two most critical issues for the Blue Planet were logistics management and evacuation. The Blue Whale's upgrade could only be considered a third priority.
Regarding the first issue—logistics management:
Due to the Blue Whale AI's upgrade, most of its functions were unavailable, so a large number of personnel had to be deployed to manage logistics and fill the gap.
After some discussion, Councilor Hu Jing volunteered to take on this responsibility.
For the duration of the Blue Whale's upgrade, he would focus primarily on logistics management.
As for the second critical issue—evacuation:
Yun Zhongmu's plan to sabotage the Skrull's Disintegration Ray Tower had failed, and the Skrulls would undoubtedly continue building them. According to the information Yun Zhongmu brought back, the Skrulls could construct 5 to 10 towers!
Therefore, the Blue Planet's inhabitants had to evacuate. The Dragon Abyss Four Symbols Array couldn't withstand the simultaneous attack of 5 to 10 Disintegration Ray Towers.
The evacuation plan was entrusted to Zhong Feng, who was responsible for moving all personnel from the first line of defense to the second line in batches.
Zhong Feng quickly got to work.
He quickly used the still-functional Blue Whale communication system to send out the list of personnel to be evacuated, the order of batches, directions, and team information.
Upon receiving Zhong Feng's order, the personnel within the first line of defense began their evacuation.
First to leave the first line of defense were the base's logistics personnel, responsible for supply, food, and material transportation. They would be the first to leave the battlefield.
Next to evacuate were the regular soldiers not in core positions. Their role was to replace fallen core position soldiers, and now they needed to be evacuated first.
Following them were the core position soldiers and low-ranking officers.
Finally, the high-ranking officers, generals, and high-level warriors of the sixth rank and above would leave.
This evacuation plan had been established long before the battle began, and everyone within the defense line knew this day would come.
Therefore, as soon as Zhong Feng's order was issued, everyone immediately executed it. The logistics department acted first, packing up and preparing to leave the defense line.
...
However, just as the evacuation began, Su Yu received a video call request from Yun Zhongmu.
Answering the call, Yun Zhongmu's weary face appeared on the screen.
"Are you evacuating now?" Yun Zhongmu's voice was as exhausted as his appearance.
"Yes, it has already begun," Su Yu replied.
"I have a request." Yun Zhongmu's tone grew serious.
Su Yu was taken aback. "What is it?"
"I want to stay behind and be the last to evacuate, providing cover for the main force's withdrawal!" Yun Zhongmu said earnestly.
"You..." Su Yu was at a loss for words.
He didn't interact much with Yun Zhongmu, only knowing him to be calm and extremely capable, a suitable assistant.
It wasn't until the real battle began that Su Yu realized how willing Yun Zhongmu was to make sacrifices! Staying behind meant facing the Skrull's artillery, a task of immense danger and high mortality.
Yun Zhongmu spoke calmly, "I still feel guilty about Xiaotian's death. I brought them into the enemy's formation, and they died without any value, while I, the planner, survived.
So I'm willing to stay behind for the main force. I can take on the most dangerous and fatal tasks.
If I survive, it will be a relief. If I die, I can meet Xiaotian and the others, and it won't be a waste."
Su Yu fell silent for a moment before replying, "Alright, I agree to your request."
"Thank you, Commander Ke!" Yun Zhongmu breathed a sigh of relief, his expression relaxing.
"But I want to know, why do you keep volunteering for such dangerous tasks? Besides your fearless spirit of sacrifice, there must be something else, right?" Su Yu paused, then continued, "From my perspective, it seems you're seeking death. If not for your responsibilities, you might have already died, right?"
Hearing Su Yu's words, Yun Zhongmu's expression froze.
Seeming to have come to a realization, he exhaled and said frankly, "You're right, Commander Ke. I do want to die. I'm really afraid."
"Afraid?"
"Yes, deep down, I've always been afraid of our failure, afraid of the day when the Blue Star's humanity is extinguished. Peling Daoer and Angustre Muhamed and I feel the same way. I'm really ashamed of it."
At this, Yun Zhongmu's expression turned vulnerable, a side Su Yu had never seen before.
Su Yu nodded heavily, "I see. Now I understand."
