Chapter 496: Taking Over Busan
Chapter 496: Taking Over Busan
With the battle plan finalized, the remaining tasks were simply to execute it.
Councilor Hu immediately contacted the Blue Star Defense Bureau, placing all nuclear missile silos on standby to ensure they could be launched at a moment's notice when needed.
Su Yu opened two portals by the sea in Busan.
One portal sent his mentor Tao and Zhong Feng back to Yunlu Mountain. The other portal sent Zhang Zhengwei to the headquarters of the relevant department, where he would oversee the overall operations.
After sending the three off, only Su Yu, Xue Wenli, and the cat Chenxing on his shoulder remained by the sea in Busan.
Chenxing was now somewhat tense, her back stiff and her eyes fixed on the direction of Neon Tokyo, where the massive horde of monsters seemed to trigger unpleasant memories from her time in the Star Realm.
Su Yu gently stroked her back, and Chenxing's mood gradually improved.
"Su Yu, what do we do now?" Xue Wenli turned to him, feeling the weight of responsibility.
"Well," Su Yu paused for a moment before continuing, "We need to take over the city of Busan to reduce obstacles for the main forces. By the way, do you speak Korean?"
"I know a little bit," Xue Wenli replied.
"No problem, even if you don't."
Su Yu took out his phone and searched for the address of the Busan City Government and the location of the mayor's office.
After finding the location, Chenxing jumped back into the pet space, and Su Yu and Xue Wenli used the teleportation array to reach their destination.
A flash of white light, and they appeared on the square in front of the Busan City Government building.
Su Yu and Xue Wenli flew up to the 16th floor, crashing through the glass curtain wall to enter the mayor's office.
However, the mayor's office was empty.
After questioning a random clerk, Su Yu learned that the mayor was holding an emergency meeting on the 13th floor.
Without hesitation, the silver teleportation array lit up beneath Su Yu's feet, and the next second, he and Xue Wenli were in the large conference room.
"Who are you? (Korean)" The mayor of Busan was nervously discussing matters with his officials when he was startled by the sudden appearance of the silver light.
He already knew about the events in Neon Tokyo. Could it be that there were assassin-type monsters among the horde, planning to assassinate him?
The high-ranking officials sitting around the conference table panicked, screaming and fleeing from the area of the teleportation array, some even stumbling out the door in their haste.
However, upon seeing that the people on the teleportation array were human, and especially recognizing Su Yu's face, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you... Su Yu? (English)" The mayor's voice was filled with disbelief.
Su Yu's name was known worldwide, making him the world's top celebrity.
So, with just one glance, the mayor recognized him.
"Yes, I am." Su Yu glanced at the Koreans—no, Goryeons—calmly.
However, his English had always been poor, and he had never passed the university-level English proficiency test. He wasn't confident in understanding their Korean-accented English, so he looked at Xue Wenli.
Xue Wenli smiled slightly and spoke in perfect English, "Hello, this is Su Yu—no need for further introduction. I am Xue Wenli, Deputy Minister of the Blue Star 'Evolution' Affairs Management Bureau.
She then took out the necessary identification and showed it to the mayor of Busan.
After the mayor had reviewed the documents, she said, "I assume you are already aware of the events that took place in Japan?"
"Of course, we deeply regret the tragedy that occurred in Japan. We are holding this meeting to discuss how to respond to the situation, and we are also awaiting orders from the president," the mayor of Busan replied.
"Very well," Xue Wenli put the documents back into her chest pocket and said seriously, "Based on our analysis, the monster horde from Nihon Island will likely enter this city through the Tsushima Strait and the Korea Strait. We cannot yet determine the exact time."
The mayor of Busan and his bureaucratic subordinates all paled at this news.
They had already suspected this when they learned that a gravity funnel had appeared over Japan.
Now, with Xue Wenli's confirmation, they felt as if the sky was falling.
"I knew it, this must be God's punishment!" one of the officials said in a trembling voice.
This official was shaking all over, his eyes darting around, showing signs of an impending mental breakdown.
The mayor of Busan turned and glared at the official. "Jung Hoon, at a time like this, don't bring up religion. Religion is just a tool humans use to deceive themselves."
But the official couldn't be dissuaded. Even as the mayor scolded him, his mind had already snapped. "Haha! The end of the world! The end of the world is here! A flood will cover the earth!"
The official tried to open the window and jump out, but his colleagues managed to hold him back just in time.
Xue Wenli shook her head inwardly.
This official's mental fortitude was truly lacking. Compared to the entire interstellar war, this was just a minor skirmish. If he couldn't handle this, what would happen during the final battle?
"Cough, cough," Xue Wenli cleared her throat and addressed the mayor of Busan. "I am now using the authority of my department to take immediate control of this city. Mayor, follow my orders and implement a city-wide emergency lockdown immediately! Mobilize all military and police forces to secure the streets, halt all activities within the jurisdiction, and ensure that everyone stays at home except for necessary food distribution!"
"Understood!" the mayor of Busan responded immediately.
He knew the authority of the relevant department, and given the critical situation, he didn't hesitate to comply with all of Xue Wenli's requests and followed her instructions.
In the following period, with Su Yu's assistance, Xue Wenli successfully took control of Busan.
Her goal was to maintain order in Busan until the main forces arrived, preventing the city from descending into chaos due to fear.
The citizens of Busan could evacuate, but it had to be done in stages to avoid congestion on the roads, disruptions in the supply of resources, and looting by the populace.
In short, the stability of the Busan area needed to be ensured.
Fortunately, the mayor of Busan was cooperative, and he executed and relayed Xue Wenli's orders effectively.
Xue Wenli shared part of the plan formulated by Hu Jingyi with the mayor and his subordinates, which helped to stabilize their emotions.
With their cooperation, Busan quickly went into a city-wide lockdown without significant upheaval.
Now, all they needed to do was wait for the main forces to arrive.
