Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start - Chapter 1197

Chapter 1197: 1154, Logistics Management and Evacuation Chapter 1197: 1154, Logistics Management and Evacuation “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, “all I can say is both are possible, and I wouldn’t be surprised if both happened at the same time. Of course, there might also be other situations we haven’t considered, so we can’t draw any conclusions.”

“The situation really is complicated!” Su Yu couldn’t help but rub his throbbing brow.

Since ascending to God Level, it was the first time he felt such a headache.

“That’s all I know for now. If there’s further information from hymn, I’ll let you know.”

…

At this point, Su Yu and Donna ended their communication.

They both didn’t know what the real situation was; they could only wait for the matter to develop further before making judgements.

Without delay, Su Yu sent the two possibilities Donna had mentioned to the “Blue Star Supreme Council” group after ending the call.

Seeing the new message from Su Yu, the group was also silent for a long time.

Two minutes later, Chairman Hu Jing analyzed in the group:
“If we’re just considering these two possibilities, I’m more inclined to believe the second one.

The reason is simple–the first scenario doesn’t necessitate hymn giving us a particularly rare AI, and doing so would definitely affect the balance of the war, which seems illogical.”

Zhong Feng: “Hmm, the Chairman makes sense. I also think it’s the second scenario, with the hymn system being in disorder, leading to frequent low-level errors.”

Mr. Meng: “Agreed.”

Sky Dragon: “Agree.”

Su Yu then replied, “But has anyone considered that if the hymn system is in disorder, then the first possibility could also occur simultaneously? These two things don’t conflict, do they?”

Zhong Feng, Sky Dragon, Mr. Meng: “…”

(Silence for about half a minute)
Chairman Hu Jing: “Su Yu, what do you think we should do now?”

Su Yu: “[Sigh emoji] There’s nothing we can do but wait for things to develop.”

Su Yu: “Wait 3 to 6 days and maybe Blue Whale will have completed the upgrade, then everything will be much easier. If it’s not completed, we can think of a solution then.”

Chairman Hu Jing: “Sigh, that’s all we can do.”

…

With this step in the discussion, the topic of Blue Whale’s upgrade had to be temporarily concluded.

The Blue Star higher-ups had more important matters to handle and had to postpone further discussion of this issue.

The most pressing concerns for the Blue Star side were two issues–the first was logistics management, the second was evacuation. The upgrade of the Blue Whale could only be placed third at best.

On the first issue–logistics management.

Because the AI Blue Whale was upgrading, most functions were unavailable, so it was necessary to allocate a large number of people to logistics management to fill this gap.

After some discussion, Chairman Hu Jing took on the responsibility himself.

For the following time, until AI Blue Whale’s upgrade was complete, he devoted his main focus to logistics management.

As for the second vital issue–evacuation.

With the failure of Shepherd in the Clouds’ plan, the Skrull people would definitely continue to build Wave Towers. According to the information brought back by Shepherd in the Clouds, the Skrull could build 5 to 10 of them!

So now, the Blue Star People must evacuate. The Dragon Abyss Quadrant Array couldn’t withstand the simultaneous firing of 5 to 10 Wave Towers.

The retreat plan was left entirely to Zhong Feng’s discretion; he was responsible for sending all personnel from the first defense line to the second defense line in batches.

Zhong Feng quickly sprang into action as well.

Using the still functional Blue Whale communication system, he swiftly released the retreat personnel’s lists, batches, directions, and team information… and other relevant details.

Upon receiving Zhong Feng’s orders, personnel within the first defense line began to evacuate.

First to leave the first defense line were the base’s logistics personnel, in charge of logistics support, food services, and material transport; they would be the first to leave the battlefield;
Next were the regular soldiers not stationed at core positions, whose role was to replace fallen core position soldiers; now it was time for their early withdrawal;
Then came the core position soldiers and low-ranking officers;
Finally, high-ranking officers, generals, and Above Sixth Order powerhouses.

This retreat plan had already been established before the outbreak of the war, and everyone in the defense line was aware that such a day would come.

Thus, as soon as Zhong Feng’s orders were issued, everyone promptly complied. Logistics departments were the first to mobilize, gathering their belongings and preparing to withdraw from the defense lines.

…
But not long after the evacuation began, Su Yu received a video call request from Shepherd in the Clouds.

Answering the call, Shepherd in the Clouds’ weary face appeared in the video chat window.

“So it’s time to evacuate?” Shepherd in the Clouds was not only looking exhausted but sounded it too.

“Yes, it’s already begun,” Su Yu responded.

“I would like to request something,” Shepherd in the Clouds said, gradually becoming more serious.

Su Yu was taken aback, “What is it?”

“I want to request to cover the retreat,” Shepherd in the Clouds stated earnestly. “I offer to be the last to evacuate, to ensure the protection of the large forces during withdrawal!”

“You…” Su Yu found himself at a loss for words.

He didn’t interact much with Shepherd in the Clouds normally, only knowing that he was a detached but extremely capable assistant.

It was only after the real battle commenced that Su Yu learned of his willingness to sacrifice! Covering a retreat meant facing Skuru artillery fire directly, a task fraught with danger and a high mortality rate.

Shepherd in the Clouds said indifferently, “I still harbor guilt for the deaths of Sky Dragon and the others; I led them into enemy lines, yet allowed them to die such meaningless deaths while I, the planner of the mission, survived.

Therefore, I am willing to cover the retreat for the large forces. You can assign me all the most dangerous, life-threatening tasks.

If I survive, that would be joyous, but if I die, I can see Sky Dragon and the others, which wouldn’t be too regrettable.”

Su Yu fell silent for a while before replying, “All right, I accept your request.”

“Thank you, Boss Ke!” Shepherd in the Clouds sighed with relief, his expression visibly relaxing.

“However, I want to know, besides this selfless bravery, there must be something else driving you to request these suicide missions twice, right?” Su Yu paused before continuing,
“From my perspective, it seems you’re seeking death. If there weren’t responsibilities and other factors, you might already have sought it, right?”

Hearing Su Yu’s words, Shepherd in the Clouds’ expression stiffened.

Seeming to have come to a realization, he exhaled and said candidly, “That’s true, Boss Ke, I actually do want to die, I’m really scared.”

“Scared?”

“Yes, deep down, I’ve always been afraid that we would fail, afraid of the day when I’d see Blue Star Humans go extinct. I’m just like Perlin Doyle and Angestre Mohamad, truly embarrassed.”

At this point, Shepherd in the Clouds showed a vulnerable expression, the first time Su Yu had seen him this fragile.

Su Yu nodded solemnly, “I see, I understand now.”
