Chapter Summary
The whole city is full of ferocious beasts, are these people all idiots?" Liu Ning was also furious when he saw the order. Those high-ranking officials and nobles wouldn't make way, do you think scientists could get on the planes? To be honest, although no one had ever completed such a task before, Wang Laohu knew very well that as long as Liu Ning was willing to help, they might be able to succeed this time.
Liu Ning was deeply resistant to the order. He couldn't believe such an order existed. The entire city had been occupied. If they sent people there, how could they possibly survive? Let alone rescue people, they themselves probably wouldn't survive either.
"Is the Human Council really this incompetent? Since no one has ever succeeded, why send us there? Isn't that just pushing us into a fire pit? The whole city is full of ferocious beasts, are these people all idiots?"
Liu Ning was also furious when he saw the order. It was as if they didn't care about their lives at all. Although the scientists were important, the current situation showed that there was no way to rescue them.
“I know that’s true, but the Human Council also has many constraints. If we don’t take such action, many scientists in the capital will protest. Moreover, research institutes in various cities also have some top talents. If we can rescue them, it will be a blessing for all of humanity. We are just dead people in military uniforms, so there’s nothing to say. We will do what we are ordered to do. You are different. You can leave the army now.”
Wang Laohu sighed. No one had ever succeeded in issuing such an order before, so they had to step up in this situation. As for Liu Ning, he didn't need to follow them. After all, Liu Ning didn't belong to this army. Although Old Master Wang had gotten Liu Ning a military rank, Liu Ning wasn't part of the regular staff, and the order hadn't actually been issued yet. So Liu Ning didn't need to go to his death with them. This order was more politically significant than practically significant.
Liu Ning didn't say a word. Wang Laohu could tell from Liu Ning's expression that Liu Ning was definitely not someone who was afraid of death. Originally, Wang Laohu wanted to find an excuse to send Liu Ning back. This young genius was too important. But unfortunately, before Wang Laohu could think of a way, Liu Ning had already arrived.
Wang Laohu knew Liu Ning's personality and that saying more wouldn't be of much use. He could only take out a list of important figures in the city. If there was a red cross, the person was dead. But those with red circles were people who had to be brought out. These people had a lot of research results, and if they died in the city, many research projects might have to be stopped.
"I said, how could Uncle Wang have so many people? When our city was in trouble, weren't all the scientists sent away immediately? Even if their city was breached quickly and there wasn't much time to react, those scientists should have had a chance to get on the plane. Why were they all left in the city?"
Liu Ning thought of Sophie from this list. He knew Sophie's rank, but many people on the list were of higher rank than her. Why were these people still there when Sophie had already left? This was a question that Liu Ning couldn't figure out.
"Do I really need to answer this question? When that city was in crisis, the first people they would think of were the high-ranking officials and nobles. There were only a few spots to begin with, and when the city walls were breached, at most only a few planes could fly out. Those high-ranking officials and nobles wouldn't make way, do you think scientists could get on the planes? The garrison's system was already in chaos, so all those who escaped were high-ranking officials. As for these scientists, it's already quite good that they were able to enter the inner city. Those marked with a red cross don't even have the qualifications to enter the inner city."
Speaking of this, Wang Laohu was also annoyed. Privileged classes exist in every city, but when you do this, you have to do it in secret. You can't be too arrogant. This time, the city went too far. Several planes were sent out, but there were only three researchers on board. The remaining thousands of people were all high-ranking officials.
In addition, there were special planes from the central base city, which were specifically for picking up people who made contributions to science. However, the pilots on these special planes were all executed and replaced with local pilots. This was no different from murder. They took someone else's place and left behind was no different from being dead.
"Are these people really that outrageous? Don't they know that the Central Base City will hold them accountable? How is this any different from a crime? They've deprived these scientists of their living space."
Liu Ning said, somewhat puzzled, "Are these people really that audacious? Do they really think they can get away with all this? Is there such a good thing in the world?"
"This was indeed a crime, so the garrison commander of this city has been executed. Even though this guy was a war god-level expert, his departure has plunged the entire city into chaos..."
Speaking of that Lord of the Prefecture, he's a complete scoundrel. He took all the spots for himself, sending his family and cronies on the plane, while none of the researchers got on.
Although the Central Base City executed this guy, what he did still had a significant impact. Even though he's dead, the effects won't end so easily.
Wang Laohu sighed helplessly. In many people's eyes, Wang Laohu was already a high-ranking officer, but he knew very well that in the eyes of the real upper echelons, someone like him couldn't do anything. He was just a major general. In the military region of the Central Base City, major generals weren't exactly common, but they were certainly not rare either.
“I understand the problem you're pointing out. Let's deal with the immediate issue first. Even if we slaughtered all those guys' ancestors for eighteen generations, it wouldn't make up for that guy's loss…”
Hearing Liu Ning say this, Wang Laohu breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, although no one had ever completed such a task before, Wang Laohu knew very well that as long as Liu Ning was willing to help, they might be able to succeed this time.
Although they are now very close to Windmill City, if they want to rescue the scientists inside, the temporary camp needs to continue advancing. According to their recent investigation, even if they advance another 10 kilometers, they will encounter a large number of ferocious beasts. Therefore, this mission is very dangerous, and someone needs to go ahead to fight the initial battle.
