Chapter 502: Players and Great Cultivators Arrive in Busan
Chapter 502: Players and Great Cultivators Arrive in Busan
"Your Majesty," Lance inquired of Manina XIII, "Since the humans of Blue Star have gathered in Busan, should we avoid them and take a detour through the East Sea to enter the territory of China?"
"Why should we avoid them?" Manina XIII countered.
"Well, I—" Lance was momentarily at a loss for words.
"There's no need to avoid them. We should confront them head-on," Manina replied calmly. "Our goal this time is to eliminate the human forces. Now that they are gathered, it will be easier to wipe them out all at once!"
Manina then added, "Besides, the conventional armies of Blue Star can't cause much damage to the monsters. Why would we fear them?"
"Your Majesty is right," Lance immediately responded.
Though his instincts told him that engaging the humans in Busan might not be the best idea, he had no choice but to follow the emperor's orders.
However, he decided to indirectly remind the emperor, "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence from the Pacific Nation, Su Yu has called on all third-tier players with materialization abilities to help in Busan."
"Calling players? What is he planning?"
"Apparently, he wants to plant some special plants from the game on Busan and Tsushima Island."
"What kind of plants? Will they pose a threat to the monster population?"
"They are something like machine-gun peas. The threat is not significant. According to the intelligence, mature plants have third-tier strength, but their drawback is that they can't move."
"Third-tier and immobile? No need to worry about it," Manina XIII dismissed the concern.
But then he remembered something, "By the way, the 108 'Su Yu Special Edition' monsters we created haven't been damaged, right?"
"They are safe and sound," Lance replied.
"Excellent!" Manina's lips curled into a sinister smile. "When the time comes, make sure you are well-prepared. I want to give Su Yu a 'surprise'!"
"Understood."
The scene shifted back to Blue Star—Busan.
Under Xue Wenli's command, the Busan municipal government managed to relocate nearly 300,000 residents out of the city in just three and a half hours.
The evacuation was still ongoing.
Xue Wenli planned to evacuate as many people as possible, particularly those living near the coast, to the inland areas over the next nine hours to ensure stability and prevent any unrest. After all, no one could predict the intensity of the upcoming battle, and a single misstep could turn Busan into a wasteland.
Three and a half hours after the end of the gravity funnel, at the Busan Gimhae International Airport, Su Yu and Xue Wenli welcomed the first batch of players, a total of 12,006.
"CEO Ke, we're here!"
The players disembarked from transport helicopters and passenger planes, waving to Su Yu, who stood on a nearby platform.
"Welcome, everyone! Thank you for your hard work!" Su Yu's voice, amplified by magic, echoed across the entire airport as he waved to the players disembarking from the planes.
"CEO Ke, you're too kind. Flying here wasn't hard at all."
"The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility. Doing this is our duty!"
"If only I were stronger, I'd join you on the front lines."
The players responded enthusiastically, their spirits high.
Some players also asked questions, "CEO Ke, what should we do now? Should we follow the instructions in the post you made an hour ago?"
An hour earlier, Su Yu had posted an important message on the official forum.
The post emphasized that upon arriving in Busan, the first batch of players should not disembark if they were Druids or Priests. They would follow him to Tsushima Island. Other players were to stay in Busan and assist Xue Wenli with the evacuation.
Su Yu's post had a significant impact. Now, the special plane designated for Druid and Priest players had not even opened its doors, and the passengers who disembarked were all Warriors, Archers, Mages, and other classes.
Su Yu turned to look at Xue Wenli, who was standing beside him, and then addressed all the players, "Everyone, pay attention! Follow the instructions I posted an hour ago. This is Deputy Minister Xue Wenli of the relevant department. Remember to follow her orders and assist in the evacuation of the civilians."
"Don't worry, Commander!" the players responded, all looking at Xue Wenli with a mix of respect and admiration.
Xue Wenli's story had been widely publicized in the country. As one of the first players to receive the helmet, she had sacrificed her game time to contribute to humanity, and she was currently only around level 30. The players held her in high regard.
Su Yu patted Xue Wenli on the shoulder, "Comrade Xue, I'll leave this to you."
"Understood."
Then, Su Yu took off into the air and addressed the Druid and Priest players, "Everyone, follow me. We're heading to Tsushima Island!"
Fifteen minutes later, Su Yu led the helicopter fleet to Tsushima Island, located 85 kilometers southwest of Busan.
Technically, Tsushima Island belonged to Japan. However, in the face of such a massive crisis, nationality no longer mattered. Three and a half hours ago, the Korean government had already dispatched numerous planes and ships to evacuate the 32,000 residents of Tsushima Island to the Korean mainland.
Of course, some stubborn or distrustful Japanese residents refused to comply. In such a crisis, special measures were taken, and Korean military and police used tranquilizer guns and other non-lethal means to forcibly evacuate everyone from Tsushima Island.
Currently, the island was completely deserted, with no signs of human activity.
Su Yu led the helicopter fleet to a flat, open area on Tsushima Island and landed.
Tsushima Island was quite large, covering an area of about 700 square kilometers, larger than the area within the Fifth Ring Road of the Chinese capital. However, the island had only 32,000 residents, and most of it was green space, perfect for planting without damaging any buildings.
After the helicopters landed, the players streamed out one by one.
Su Yu took out a large number of golden seeds from his necklace and piled them on the ground.
These golden seeds had been carefully selected. Useless plants like the [Wall-Nut], [Tall-Nut], and [Pumpkin] had been filtered out, and the majority were useful plants like the [Ice-Shooter], [Cob Cannon], and [Cherry Bomb]. There were also functional plants like the [Lily Pad] and [Seaweed] that could be planted in water.
Su Yu then addressed the players, "Everyone, let's start planting! The yellow triangular seeds are [Cob Cannon] seeds, and the red round ones are [Cherry Bomb] seeds. These plants take longer to mature, so we'll plant these first."
"Got it!" the players responded.
Over the next few hours, Su Yu and the Druid and Priest players diligently planted the seeds across Tsushima Island.
As more and more players arrived, the number of players increased significantly.
The plants, receiving ample sunlight and natural energy, matured rapidly, ready to play their part in the upcoming battle.
It's worth noting that one and a half hours after the first batch of players arrived, the great cultivators from Yunlu Mountain successfully reached Busan.
Su Yu put down his work and went to Busan to welcome them.
