"This method minimizes the losses." Shi Yin said calmly, "If we don't abandon the people of this city, the enemy won't take the bait. They are vigilant but greedy."
“Abandoning this city would only result in the loss of one city.” Shi Yin’s lips moved, but her words were utterly cold: “If we do not abandon this city, the consequence would be the loss of one-third of the Yanlong Kingdom.”
Everyone: "..."
“But so many people in this city have placed their hopes on the country, and we’re going to abandon them so easily.” The young man’s momentum suddenly weakened: “Shouldn’t we do our best to protect everyone? There must be other ways.”
Shi Yin: "Okay."
Everyone: "Huh?"
“Okay, it will take about 3 to 5 days to implement this plan.” Shi Yin leaned back casually in her chair: “If you disagree with this plan, I will give you five days to come up with a solution and submit a complete proposal.”
Everyone: "..."
“Since you’ve raised objections, I’m sure everyone has some corresponding countermeasures. Adaptability isn’t something you can readily talk about right now,” Shi Yin said. “You can submit the proposal directly to me. If there’s a way with less loss, I’ll naturally use it.”
"The information I gave you details the monster, the impending disaster, and the series of consequences that will follow. If you need any reference data, you can send me a private message. If there's anything you don't understand, you can also tell me directly, and I will answer it in detail."
"I will answer all private messages. I can share all the data from the survey and monitoring with you for reference, so that you can write your plans."
The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Sometimes what people say is just a moral impetus coupled with momentary enthusiasm, but when it comes to actually discussing plans, most people remain silent because the matter is inherently an unsolvable deadlock.
The only one who can break the deadlock is Shi Yin, and Shi Yin says that sacrificing a city is the best solution now.
However, they believe that the reason Shi Yin was able to break the deadlock was simply because Shi Yin was powerful enough. Countless people wanted Shi Yin to fight against the entire apocalypse single-handedly, just like she fought against the meteorite.
"If there are no objections, the meeting is adjourned." Shi Yin glanced around the room, and everyone lowered their heads, none daring to meet her gaze.
"By the way, just a reminder to everyone: if anyone dares to tip off others or change the plans without authorization, and this causes any serious consequences, that person and their family will bear all the consequences," Shi Yin added, standing up.
"In order to distribute supplies, everyone's family members are included in the list. I don't know if everyone has seen the decrees issued after the apocalypse. Anyone who violates the order will implicate their family."
"What!"
"Why……"
"Archiving... could it be information to fill out for receiving supplies?"
"There's no need to fill out any information; all our houses were assigned to us in a unified manner!"
The roommates immediately became noisy.
Although everyone subconsciously understands and will most likely obey orders, the thought that mistakes could affect their families inevitably causes panic.
"So I hope everyone understands that we have been a unit from the very beginning." Shi Yin gave a mysterious smile.
Just as ants form a ball to protect their queen when they encounter danger, everyone present has already wrapped themselves up into a ball, and they are all in the same boat.
The meeting ended and everyone dispersed, but the atmosphere was inevitably heavy this time.
"Is this really alright?" the Consul General asked with some concern. "Making enemies too quickly could have adverse effects."
“This incident will be over soon. They were just a group of people who were too well protected and had never seen a storm before.” Shi Yin said as she walked down the corridor, “The next few days will depend on you.”
"What are the chances of success?" the commander asked. "If, as you say, we only manage to summon people from the Buddhist temple but fail to invoke the power of the gods and Buddhas, what will be the consequences?"
"I'm not sure, but there won't be any serious consequences." Shi Yin opened the window; she didn't intend to go out through the front door and attract attention. "It's just a matter of a few more people dying."
The commander frowned. He wanted to say something more, but Shi Yin had already jumped out of the window.
The commander's heart skipped a beat. He rushed to the window and saw Shi Yin in freefall. Then, with a light step, he easily leaped into the air like a roc spreading its wings and disappeared in a few moments.
"Sigh." The commander sighed deeply.
He could sense that Shi Yin seemed to be hiding a lot of things, but since Shi Yin didn't say anything, he could only wait silently and piece together the information from some fragmented guesses.
However, according to the commander-in-chief, Shi Yin's departure for Mingtai Temple was clearly a last-minute decision. Otherwise, he would have been away for 3 to 5 days, a long time, and it was impossible for him to be completely unaware of any news about it.
Moreover, the plan only required all ordinary people to live their lives as usual, and all explorations to be carried out as usual for those with superpowers. The only difference might be that they would refuse to help when a crisis was discovered.
etc……
The commander-in-chief recalled that Shi Yin said the crisis was caused by a clone of a monster that appeared ahead of time, which might erupt near the Flame Dragon Kingdom.
A clone that split off?
Therefore, there are other clones elsewhere. The leader does not believe that Shion has completed the mission by only destroying one clone, while Shion says that sacrificing only one city...
Could it be that the main battlefield of this battle is not actually in Yanlong Kingdom?
Looking down from above, the world is a vast expanse of white, and without direct coordinates, it would be very difficult to determine exactly where Mingtai Temple is.
However, as Shion approached Mingtai Temple, her target became clearer and clearer.
Mingtai Temple is built on a mountain, at a high altitude. The steps are divided into three levels, with 777 steps on each level. The surrounding mountains are covered with a thick layer of snow, but there is not much snow on the steps, which does not look like the result of a cold winter apocalypse.
Moreover, the closer one gets to Mingtai Temple, the warmer the temperature becomes. When Yin reached the foot of the mountain and stretched out her hand, the temperature was only -30°C.
Compared to other places where temperatures are -50°C and have recently approached -60°C, this temperature is not high enough to freeze someone to death.
Shi Yin glanced deeply at the towering Mingtai Temple at the top of the stairs, her eyes showing no hesitation or other emotional fluctuations, but simply lifted her foot to walk forward.
Before she could even take that step, Shi Yin felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind her. Someone broke out of hiding and wielded a cold dagger, aiming straight for Shi Yin's left shoulder.
Is anyone there?
Excellent footwork!
Shi Yin dodged the gleaming dagger to the side, but the attack didn't stop there. Countless hidden weapons shot out from the man's sleeves, covering Shi Yin's entire body.
In an instant, countless blade-like objects rained down like a storm, and the attacker moved with incredible speed, shifting his stance and moving behind Shi Yin once more, raising his dagger to stab her.
