Chapter 172: The wrong stance!

"Based on the intelligence gathered this time, we've redesigned the final code names for all the security zones within our jurisdiction..."

In front of the screen, the lieutenant was fulfilling his duties diligently and responsibly.

The document just delivered by the subordinates was simply placed on the table because it was not a top-secret file.

Wait until the previous report is finished.

Minister Qian, the highest commander of the scene, frowned and picked up the items on the table to examine them...

On his left side.

The other two commanders also looked annoyed, and one of them was cursing.

"I still maintain my previous position. The disclosure of this information is a bad move. Without official confirmation, those potentially dangerous people in the safe zone will at least doubt whether the path to becoming an Awakened One is correct..."

"Now, the official outcome has directly confirmed the path to becoming an awakened one. Doesn't this encourage some people to commit evil? Doesn't this give some people the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"

"With so many reports, aren't they enough to prove that the biggest threat to humanity in this disaster isn't the monsters in the contaminated areas, but us humans ourselves..."

Listening to his subordinates' complaints, Minister Qian slowly shifted his gaze away from the item in his hand.

His thick brows were tightly furrowed, and he said with a hint of rebuke:

"Old Sun, your idea is too extreme."

As the commander-in-chief of the field, as soon as he opened his mouth, the other commanders also turned their eyes to him.

Minister Qian continued in a deep voice, "According to your idea, what we should do now is not to support the precarious safe zones, but to control these safe zones and the people within them..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

An old subordinate, whom he called Lao Sun, took over the conversation: "Of course we have to do this! If we don't control all the safe zones and all the existing safe lands, how can we control the number of awakened people and the subsequent casualties!"

The other commanders all had thoughtful expressions, and most of them had conflicting expressions, but some had clear opinions, either clearly opposing or vaguely agreeing.

A supporter pulled out a cigarette and twirled it between his fingers. "I agree. Only by controlling the number of awakened individuals can we control the situation to the greatest extent possible. Any one or a group of awakened individuals is a huge variable in this catastrophe. If they get out of control, the consequences will be untold."

Some opponents scoffed, "How will it be controlled? Will it be a tank push or artillery fire? That's too much to say. How many innocent people will be hurt, how many soldiers will be killed in the process? Don't you think carefully before making any decisions?"

The debate has begun again...

As for the points of dispute between the two sides, they are not complicated.

In a nutshell, a part of the current command believes that the status quo should be maintained. The authorities should start to rush to the various safe zones in a planned manner based on the current situation where they have already gained a firm foothold, and gradually regain control of order within the safe zones.

Another level of command believed that they should take drastic measures and use lightning-fast means to control all safe zones first, even if it was like keeping livestock in a pen. They had to control each safe zone first, especially the awakened ones and the channels to become awakened ones, and then plan for the follow-up.

The core contradiction lies with the awakened ones...

It is to temporarily allow the number of awakened people to increase, allow uncertainty to increase, and only provide material assistance.

Or should we sacrifice the interests of the masses first, block the path to becoming an awakened being, and complete our plan of abduction...

Minister Qian, the head of the Operations Department, had a worried look on his face, showing helplessness.

Simply ignore the noise around you.

Take a fresh look at the item in your hand.

"Sucheng hopes that we will send someone to bring Professor Yan's daughter to Sucheng..."

Minister Qian threw the document in his hand onto the table and only stated the demands of the Suzhou side without expressing any opinion.

"Professor Yan's daughter? It's a small matter. My people found her a month ago, but she just didn't want to go to Su City. But since it's Professor Yan's request, just satisfy her. I'll send someone to take her to the safe zone in Su City..."

Old Sun on the left talked a lot.
