On the rooftop, Chu Yao and Bai Yuejian looked at each other in silence.
"Senior Sister... what do you think the chances of Yali Company winning are?"
Bai Yuejian looked straight at the tall wall of light in the distance. His eyes seemed to penetrate the lasers and see the battlefield at the front line.
"There are four giant beasts at the Nascent Soul stage and above. Fortunately, they haven't developed any intelligence. Judging from the actions of the mecha and spacecraft, Yari Company should be able to handle it easily." Bai Yuejian paused for a moment.
"But right now, those high-level monsters aren't the problem. The key is this endless sea of insects. There are simply too many of them. With only this wall of light and those planes and tanks, I don't think we can hold out for more than a few days."
If Yari Company doesn't have any other options, we'll end up like that soldier."
Chu Yao looked in the direction where her senior sister pointed her finger. Not far from the wall of light, a lone soldier was knocked down by several alien insects and became their food.
"Yes, but we don't know when they will make their move."
Chu Yao recently obtained important information from Yao Han, who had infiltrated the Yali Company. The Yali Company seemed to be preparing a weapon to deal with alien insects, but it would take time.
All the members of Maowei Company have gathered at Ye Princess. Because Chu Yao and the others reacted promptly, the company prepared many flying cars and buses in advance... but where can they go?
Another way is to escape by spaceship, and some people have actually already started doing this.
The few small and medium-sized passenger spaceships on Lingyuan Star are all in the hands of large companies. Apart from them, only the various spaceships and starships controlled by the Yali Company may be used to transfer refugees.
But the decision of whether or not to rescue such a large number of citizens and how to rescue them lies in the hands of the top management of Yali Company.
Chu Yao and Bai Yuejian's phones beeped simultaneously. Chu Yao opened it and saw a video message from Gao Yunkuan, the general agent of Lingyuanxing. It had been sent to every citizen's phone via text message:
"Dear fellow residents of Lingyuan Star, I am Gao Yunkuan, the general manager of Yali Company on Lingyuan Star."
Looking at his eyebrow-less face as he talked freely, Chu Yao recalled the day when she first met him at the Liberty City Chamber of Commerce.
"At this moment, our planet is facing unprecedented crises and challenges! The terrifying alien insects are destroying our home..."
"Hey, why is my phone stuck?" Chu Yao tapped the screen blankly.
"Use mine." Bai Yuejian moved closer and the two of them got together.
"...Our brave warriors will fight to the bitter end! Everyone, please look—"
The picture flashed, and the screen in front of them seemed to go black. Then the two saw a spectacular scene on the small mobile phone screen.
Under the Milky Way, countless starships are suspended in the universe like a swarm of bees, magnificent.
"This is the support fleet of our Yari Company. Tomorrow morning, they will arrive at Lingyuan and give those foolish Zerg the punishment they deserve!
Residents, friends, and family! Please don't give up hope, and don't believe the rumors. Everything is still under the company's control. Please believe that Yari's starships and cavalry will eventually crush everything!
Now, I hope everyone can calm down, cooperate with nearby law enforcement and public security personnel, and move to the nearest emergency shelter. Unnecessary panic will not solve the problem. Please remember, we are proud celestial beings, and no alien race in this universe can defeat us..."
"Proud celestial being." Chu Yao stuck out her tongue upon hearing this. "It seems that the people from Yali Company are determined to fight these giant bugs to the death."
"Now someone must step forward to calm people down." Seeing the video end, Bai Yuejian also put away his phone. "This should be able to stabilize the chaotic situation in the city to a certain extent."
"Oh, what a mistake! I should have grabbed a spaceship earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up like this." Chu Yao pouted helplessly and stretched lazily. "Senior Sister, how about we go and find out which company's spaceships are still hidden?"
"No, I have gained confidence in Yari Company."
"What? Do you really believe what this tall fat guy said?"
"The current tense situation is likely due to the suddenness of the incident, and Yali Company's inability to properly deploy its forces." The senior sister swiped a news item on her phone:
"Look, there was also an insect swarm breaking out near Tianhai City on the First Continent, but they've actually won several battles, and the insect swarm has been confined to a very small area. This shows that either the Yari troops on the First Continent are well-equipped, or they have more people over there.
As long as the war can be stabilized temporarily, Yari Company can determine the number of Zerg swarms and the threat level of each region and redeploy its forces. The current problem facing Xindu is simply a shortage of Zerg and insufficient firepower. With sufficient firepower later on, there's still a chance to drive the Zerg back into the sea, even without the need for subsequent fleet reinforcements.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have moved. Tianhai City is still better..." Chu Yao stood aside and played with her hair.
"You're really not in a hurry." Bai Yuejian smiled and rubbed the back of Chu Yao's head.
"There's no point in being anxious. We can't defeat them, and we can't run away." Chu Yao tried to restart her phone. "Now we can only trust that Yali Company can defeat these giant bugs."
"Well...that's true." Bai Yuejian nodded.
The phone was frozen and no matter how Chu Yao fiddled with it, it was no use. Bored, she began to scan around with her spiritual sense, her eyes rolling around.
"Senior Sister, should we try to find out the true strength of these monsters?"
"What do you want to do?" Bai Yuejian looked at Chu Yao with a vigilant expression. "Don't forget, your injuries haven't healed yet. If you continue to toss and turn and develop any underlying illness, I won't be able to save you."
