The scene shifts back to the meeting tent, where everyone has now finished their initial pleasantries and the meeting is officially getting down to business.
Yuecheng Liu organized the materials and stacked a pile of prepared texts on the table, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
The task of chairing the meeting should have been handled by Hoshimi Miyabi or the absent No. 11.
Unfortunately, one of them was uninterested, and the other was too busy to keep up. So, the role of meeting moderator was naturally temporarily taken over by Yuecheng Liu, the deputy head of the Sixth Anti-Aircraft Section.
Fortunately, she has gotten used to the job.
"Cough cough!"
Yuecheng Liu stood up abruptly, placing his hands on the table. His mere presence exuded an aura of leadership. He spoke solemnly:
"As you all have seen, among all the supplies, what we mainly lack are various kinds of food and medical supplies."
"Wait a moment."
Caesar raised his hand like a child, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
But she didn't panic at all, and asked loudly, "There aren't that many houses available for citizens on the outer ring road. What I want to ask is, where will those citizens live? If they're sleeping on the sand, how cold will it be at night!"
The outer ring is a harsh environment, located on the border between the desert and the Gobi. Contrary to popular belief, this environment has a large temperature difference between day and night; even in the hot summer, the desert temperature at night is not much higher than in winter.
"Empty!"
Yuecheng Liu adjusted her glasses and, seeing a lingering doubt and even surprise in Caesar's eyes, knew he had misunderstood. She then explained:
"It's not that we'll actually make them all live in the caves. Instead, we'll incorporate the cave raiders into the regular army, and then, under the army's guidance, they'll explore the caves around the outer ring. We'll dismantle everything that can be dismantled, and use those things as subsidies. There's no need to go into the city."
Caesar suddenly realized: "Oh, I see. So, the reason we went to the city was to get something that we couldn't get in the outer ring or the void, right?"
"That's right, I'm glad you understand."
Yuecheng Liu nodded slightly, then moved on to the next topic, her slender, jade-like fingers pointing back and forth between two locations:
"Here, [Grain Warehouse No. 1], is the largest grain warehouse in the entire New Elidu; and here, [Janus District Hospital], is the hospital with the largest stockpile of medicines in Janus District."
"These two places have some things in common, such as being very close to the outer ring road, making it convenient for us to grab and go; and also, the quantity is large, so even if we only have time to take a portion of them, it will be enough for us to stay for a long time."
"...but it's not on the way."
Listening to Yuecheng Liu's speech, Fajia shook his head and sighed, calmly analyzing, "If we concentrate our forces and seize them one by one, we will inevitably alert them. The vampire clan that is on guard is not so easy to deal with. We can only divide our forces."
"Moreover, both sides that split up must succeed! Because if they fail, we're destined to have to go back again. By then, they'll be lying in wait, and the difficulty will skyrocket."
The others remained silent upon hearing this, and for a long time no one uttered a sound; everyone was silent for a long time.
Finally, Caesar couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his fist on the table and yelled, "So what if we split up? Do you think we'd fail when so many of us are gathered together?"
"Besides, these are supplies that can save lives; we must get them back even if it means death!"
Caesar's words made Hoshimi Ya and Fagga look at him with new respect, and their eyes flashed.
Yuecheng Liu nodded emphatically, her words brimming with confidence: "That's right, although it's very unfair to those of you who aren't soldiers. But Ms. Caesar is absolutely right, so many supplies are worth risking our lives for!"
"However, since we're splitting up, it means we'll need two people to lead each team..."
Yuecheng Liu gently raised her chin and stealthily glanced at Fajia.
In Yuecheng Liu's opinion, it would be most appropriate for the two big cards, Xingjian Ya and Fajia, to go their separate ways.
However, Fagga's own opinion is also important; if Fagga is unwilling...
"I'll lead a team!"
Fortunately, Fagga showed no resistance and even volunteered.
"only..."
The next moment, Fagga spoke again.
