ATDIWR Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Evacuation, Internal Spy

“Commander-in-Chief, this cannot go on,” said the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Y Base anxiously. “If this continues, our base will be empty. Everyone who can run is running.”

“Jing Shi Base is truly insidious. Charles is a madman, and Gu Jinsheng is a schemer. Gu Jinsheng doesn’t just not want foreign residents to immigrate; he clearly wants Xia to rule the world.”

“We know his scheme, but the people can’t see clearly. Now the people are dazzled by Jing Shi Base’s artificial planet. Regardless of the consequences, they are fleeing to Xia. Even severe penalties cannot stop them.”

“It seems we can only intervene militarily.”

“What do you mean?”

“Boss, Y Base is calling for video communication again,” Kong Zhongcheng reported to Gu Jinsheng. “It should still be about that matter from last time. Should we answer?”

Wan Xueying sneered, “They must be cornered. Seeing their base residents running away, they know they can’t continue like this, so they had no choice but to come find us again.”

“Eight out of ten times it’s nothing good, Boss. Maybe we shouldn’t answer,” said Kong Zhongcheng.

“Connect it,” said Gu Jinsheng.

The video connected, and the faces of representatives from Y Base and other European and American Bases appeared on the screen.

“Commander-in-Chief Gu Jinsheng, how have you considered the proposal from last time?” The other party immediately asked first.

Gu Jinsheng said lightly, “What matter?”

The representatives opposite were almost angered to death by his arrogant attitude.

“Commander-in-Chief Gu, it’s pointless to play dumb. We both know what matter I’m talking about.”

“I don’t know,” Gu Jinsheng remained cold and indifferent.

The opposite side took a long breath, “Alright, since Commander-in-Chief Gu is busy and doesn’t remember, I’ll remind you. What are your thoughts on the global immigration matter now?”

Gu Jinsheng said, “I already made it clear last time. I don’t remember agreeing to anything.”

The opposite side choked, almost unable to catch their breath.

“So you are still being stubborn and disagreeing?”

“This is absolutely impossible,” Gu Jinsheng refused outright.

“Gu Jinsheng, are you not afraid of us uniting to launch an H-War against you?” The Commander-in-Chief of Y Base narrowed his eyes, a threat flashing within them.

“If you want to immigrate, you can apply for Xia nationality,” Gu Jinsheng was unmoved.

The Commander-in-Chief of Y Base was enraged and laughed, “Gu Jinsheng, you truly won’t shed tears until you see the coffin. You have offended M Base, and Charles will not let it go. Now you dare to be so arrogant. Even if our current military strength is inferior to yours, a broken ship still has three thousand nails. Even if each of our bases only has one missile, once we launch an attack on you, how many anti-missiles do you have available?”

Gu Jinsheng’s icy eyes stared at the opposite side, a cold light glinting within them.

“Gu Jinsheng, we have said all we can. We give you seven days to consider. After seven days, we hope you can give us a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, don’t blame us for going down together. When one missile blows up Jing Shi Base, we will all be finished.”

Facing the disconnected video communication, Gu Jinsheng’s face was as cold as frost.

“Boss, what do we do? Do we really have to agree to their demands?”

Gu Jinsheng was silent. If the opposite side joined hands to wage an H-War, not for victory but for mutual destruction, Gu Jinsheng was indeed cornered.

“Let’s start the evacuation now,” Ji An suddenly said.

Gu Jinsheng asked, “The environment on the artificial planet hasn’t been completely resolved yet, has it?”

Ji An nodded, “Now only the water source problem remains. If the water source is insufficient, and everyone immigrates there, it could be a very serious issue. But there is no time. We cannot compromise. Once we compromise, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and there will be endless trouble afterward.”

Wan Xueying said seriously, “Boss, think about it, if people like Charles really immigrate to the artificial planet, will the peaceful days we hoped for truly come? We are immigrating so that all humanity can continue to live in peace. Charles will only bring endless war. If he can’t win, there’s no guarantee he won’t cause another apocalypse. What should we do then?”

Ji An said again, “Let’s put the water source problem aside for now. Let’s all immigrate to the artificial planet first. If the water source is insufficient then, the worst case is to send people back to Earth to get water. There will always be a solution.”

“Okay, then let’s start the immigration.” Gu Jinsheng glanced at Wan Xueying, “You will be responsible for the artificial planet side. Log in first, bring enough personnel, and handle the living arrangements and other work for the residents.”

“Received. I guarantee the completion of the mission.” Wan Xueying took the order and selected her trusted subordinates.

The first batch of personnel to log in was very important. As the initial representatives, they must be loyal to Jing Shi Base.

Considering various factors, the first batch of log-in personnel was finally set to be the people from the orphanage.

Little Rose and Little Stone came to the command center for examination and to visit Ji An.

“Brother Ji An.” Little Stone and Little Rose had grown into fifteen or sixteen-year-old youths. Little Stone was handsome and strong, and Little Rose was slim and graceful.

The two children missed Ji An very much, having not seen him for a long time.

Ji An walked over and smiled gently, “You’ve both grown into big children.”

“Brother Ji An, we heard that this sudden immigration is because Y Base and other European and American Bases are going to unite with M Base to launch an H-War against us. Little Stone and I want to stay and help,” Little Rose said anxiously.

“Little Rose and I are both Mental-type Power Users. We have quick minds and might be able to help a lot. Brother Ji An, let us stay and help you.”

Ji An knew what the two children were thinking. These two children were worried about him and planned to face the situation with him.

Ji An was touched, and he coaxed, “If you truly want to help me, cooperate with Sister Wan Xueying and log in to the artificial planet. That side is new, waiting to be developed, and it might be very chaotic and busy. If you can take care of things there and prevent the people who log in from causing trouble, you will have helped your brother a great deal.”

“But it’s very dangerous here,” Little Rose said uneasily.

“I won’t stay here and fight missiles with my flesh and blood. Within seven days, I will also evacuate from here. It’s just that the researchers have some follow-up work that needs to be taken care of.”

Little Rose nodded, “Okay then, Brother Ji An, don’t worry. The Little Rose and Little Stone now are not the easily bullied Little Rose and Little Stone from back then. We will fully cooperate with Sister Wan Xueying to suppress those with ulterior motives.”

“Brother Ji An believes in you. Over the years, brother has heard many stories about your bravery and combativeness.”

Little Rose smiled shyly, and Little Stone tilted his head proudly.

After sending the two children away, worry showed in Ji An’s eyes.

Completing the immigration within seven days was not difficult; the difficulty was the water source. The water source on the artificial planet was severely insufficient and could not support the survival of the immigrants. This was a big problem.

Many people did not know about this problem yet, so they were willing to immigrate. If they knew about this hidden danger, who knows how many people would shrink back, causing panic.

Wan Xueying’s side began to quickly and efficiently evacuate residents with Xia nationality within the borders of Xia.

Initially, they primarily evacuated residents who were more loyal to Xia. Later, it included foreign nationals with Xia nationality.

“I’m not leaving. If you want me to leave, you can bring my family here,” a M Base resident of Xia descent shouted.

This M Base resident had recently escaped into Xia territory under the guise of hunting zombies. Because Jing Shi Base had relaxed its nationality policy, he was able to join the Xia nationality.

His family was still in M Base, their fate unknown. He had always wanted to bring his family over but had no opportunity.

This person felt that this was a great opportunity. Now that Jing Shi Base was so anxious to evacuate residents within its borders, if he united with his companions to not cooperate with the evacuation and cause panic, Jing Shi Base, even if only to appease the people, would help them bring their families over.

Little Stone was responsible for evacuating this group of foreign nationals with Xia nationality. “Sir, the situation is urgent. Missiles from Y Base and other bases could be launched at any time. We need to evacuate here as soon as possible.”

That person still wouldn’t relent, “They aren’t your family, of course you can talk so lightly. If it were your family, could you still speak so casually? You probably would have already arranged hover vehicles to pick them up.”

Others, seeing that Little Stone was just a teenager, thought he would be easy to talk to due to his youth and echoed their agreement.

“If you want us to cooperate with the evacuation, bring our families over.”

These people refused to leave, affecting the evacuation of those behind them. Little Stone dared not delay and quickly called Wan Xueying.

Wan Xueying’s figure appeared on the light screen, and Little Stone reported the situation here.

Wan Xueying’s gaze coldly swept over the few troublesome foreigners on the other end of the video, her voice cold, “Since you are unwilling to log in, then don’t log in.”

Those few foreigners were instantly dumbfounded, “You can’t do this. We are now also Xia nationality and residents of Jing Shi Base. You can’t just ignore our lives.”

“You are the ones who are unwilling to evacuate. I am just fulfilling your request.”

“We just want you to help rescue our families. What’s so difficult about such a simple request? You have hover vehicles. You could bring our families out in the blink of an eye. Why are you unwilling?”

“You need to remember that you begged us to join Jing Shi Base, not that Jing Shi Base begged you to join. At this time, who do you think has the time to go to M Base and risk their lives to save people?” Wan Xueying said impatiently, “Tell the patrol team to drive them out.”

Little Stone hung up the video, tapped on his smart device, and the patrol team appeared before him in their mechs.

Little Stone briefly explained the situation to the patrol team, and the patrol team captured and imprisoned those people.

Jing Shi Base was currently conducting a secret evacuation, and other bases were unaware. Therefore, these people could not be released for the time being, lest they transmit information outwards.

The residents of Xia scoffed when they saw this situation, “Why do these people never learn? Always causing trouble like this. Our Commander-in-Chief Gu Jinsheng is known for his iron-fisted methods. Playing the threat game with him, how could it possibly work?”

With this incident, those foreign nationals behaved much better. Occasionally, one or two who didn’t believe the warnings were also imprisoned.

Despite Jing Shi Base’s strict precautions, internal spies still appeared, and someone transmitted the message outwards. Y Base learned that Jing Shi Base had begun evacuating residents within its borders and finally couldn’t sit still. They no longer intended to wait.
