Zhang Yuyao left in the morning, and she didn't even want Bai Yueyue to see her off.
It can only be said that even though Asia City is far behind Beijing, it is still the second largest city and is recovering very quickly.
"Cui Ye, ask Zhao Shuli for a few attentive and gentle servants to secretly take care of Zhang Yuyao for me. Don't let her find out. Leave after her life is stable," Bai Yueyue said, looking at Zhang Yuyao's profile picture on her phone, which showed a transfer of 100,000 yuan, which Bai Yueyue had forced Zhang Yuyao to accept.
“Yes, Miss.” Cui Ye replied, “Miss, there were no casualties at the orphanage or the factory, but a lot of equipment at the factory was damaged and needs to be repaired. In addition, there are quite a few people gathered on the outskirts of the two places, trying to get in.”
Perhaps because these two places are protected by their own forces and have not been damaged, many people are worried about another attack and feel that they are the safest place.
"The factory needs to be inspected again and confirmed to be free of safety hazards before it can resume operation. I will reapply to my father for the equipment. Tell Chen Ling and Dean Jiang that no outsiders are allowed to enter, no matter how pitiful they seem, especially the orphanage. The children are absolutely not allowed to leave recently."
Those trapped under the rubble are in the most danger. They are protected from the outside by Bai Yueyue's power, but once these people enter, they become difficult to control.
"Yes, Miss."
"Miss, I'm sorry, only some data can be recovered from your phone." After Cui Ye left, Lin Xinyi stepped forward and handed the prepared new phone to Bai Yueyue.
"Thank you for your hard work. That's all for now." Bai Yueyue took the phone, not expecting it to be fully restored; partial restoration would be enough.
Rubbing her temples, Bai Yueyue knew that she needed to learn how to handle government affairs from Li Jieyue and Liu Sixian.
"Sister Bai Yueyue, where are you going?" On the way there, as she passed by Qin Ye, Bai Yueyue could feel his low spirits.
"My godmother asked me to learn how to handle government affairs," this was no secret, given Bai Yueyue's status and age, it was only natural that she should learn these things.
"Sister Bai Yueyue is so clever; even Father doesn't want me to help."
You're so annoying, I don't want to listen to your troubles.
Bai Yueyue replied with a smile, "Brother Qin Ye is also very intelligent, but he is still too young. He should start by assisting Brother Qin Zijin."
Bai Yueyue overlooked one point: Qin Zijin was too busy to want Qin Ye to cause him any trouble.
After accepting Qin Ye's farewell, Bai Yueyue went to Liu Sixian's room.
"Dear Mother and Godmother, I wish you a wonderful day."
After performing the morning greeting, Liu Sixian handed a document to Bai Yueyue: "Yueyue, this is a message from the capital. His Majesty the Emperor requires you to review it."
What message requires my personal inspection? I opened it with a puzzled look, and it only contained a simple sentence:
The death toll from the attack on Beijing totaled 26.48 million, with losses amounting to 1.2 billion yuan.
This is only the capital city; statistics for other cities haven't been released yet, but combined, the death toll could easily exceed 100 million. The capital isn't just a populous metropolis; it's a gathering place for nobles and boasts the highest military strength. The lower the city's rank, the greater the number of deaths…
"Godmother, have you finished counting the number of deaths in Asia City?" Bai Yueyue asked, clenching the paper in her hand and using magic to forcefully calm herself down.
"The statistics haven't been finalized yet, but a rough estimate puts the casualties at around 40 million," Liu Sixian said, giving a relatively conservative figure.
The room fell silent after Liu Sixian uttered the number.
Bai Yueyue then knelt down and performed a more formal ceremony.
Both of them frowned at the same time, and Liu Sixian couldn't help but ask, "Yueyue, what's wrong? If you don't like handling government affairs, you don't have to learn it. I won't force you to get married."
“Godmother, it’s not about that,” Bai Yueyue said, her eyes meeting Li Jieyue’s. “Mother, in this exercise, I was the only one who could face the monsters head-on.”
Li Jieyue understood Bai Yueyue's meaning. Zhang Yuyao's matter, the monsters' activities during the past busy period, Zhou Qing's words, and this attack made Bai Yueyue realize that she alone could not deal with all the monsters in time.
"You want to carry out Zhou Qing's plan, right?" Li Jieyue said. As a mother, she didn't want Bai Yueyue to sacrifice this power. This unique power was the best way to protect Bai Yueyue.
“Yes, Mother. I’m sorry, I’m as willful as ever,” Bai Yueyue said. She didn’t want to see Zhang Yuyao’s devastated look again.
The road from Asia City to the capital was already littered with corpses. If the capital and Asia City were like this, what about the other cities? They didn't have Bai Yueyue, they didn't have the equipment of the capital, and they didn't have the black spear that seemed to have descended from the heavens.
Liu Sixian also knew about Zhou Qing's situation, but from the perspective of everyone on the planet, Bai Yueyue's willingness to contribute her strength was something everyone would want.
Everyone is a vulnerable, selfish ordinary person; even if it's just for self-preservation, they would want Bai Yueyue's power. Without Di Hao's suppression, Bai Yueyue's actions in the capital would have undoubtedly placed her in the eye of the storm.
But all three knew that giving away Bai Yueyue's unique power was just like giving gunpowder to the imperial clan back then.
No matter how good the initial intention is, it is very likely to become out of control in the end.
Li Jieyue had told Bai Yueyue this principle after Zhou Qing arrived. But without gunpowder, humanity wouldn't even have the basic ability to protect itself, just like this time.
