Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1798: Chapter 942: At All Costs (2)

”Begin the battle!”

”We want to fight!”

However, at this moment, a ’Letter to Family’ was simultaneously posted in various groups: ”Good morning, everyone. I can understand your feelings—it doesn’t feel good to be treated as deserters. But a mature person should not choose to die easily for an ideal, but instead, choose to endure humiliation for the success of tomorrow.”

”Death is simple. None of us fear death, or perhaps we do fear, but we can accept it calmly.”

”Surviving for victory is a much more difficult path.”

”The mocking voices you hear, I hear them too. I empathize with you. Today, we are leaving, not to never return, but to secure the victory that is coming soon. The civilians who remain may suffer, but if we win, that suffering will be temporary. If we lose, it will be eternal.”

”Misunderstanding, reproach, blame, and curses are all things we have to endure next.”

”Keep moving forward.”

This is the current core strategy of the Parents’ Meeting. Everyone is actually eager to shed blood bravely and die outside of City No. 10 as heroes.

But then what? The Eastern Continent would still fall.

Even though many cannot understand now, and they seem more like cowards avoiding battle, they still have hope.

The Parent Association Members stopped arguing, leaving everything to the internal publicity group of the Parents’ Meeting to respond. They continued to orderly step into the Key of Gate.

Beside them, residents continued to curse loudly.

One and Zero stood silently on the long street watching. Zero smiled: ”Qing Chen’s control over the Parents’ Meeting is unparalleled. His personal strength and his glorious record have led to a personal cult for him within the Parents’ Meeting. Of course, he hasn’t experienced any defeats yet, but once setbacks and failures increase, doubts will gradually arise internally.”

One responded: ”He’s faced failures and setbacks, but those were temporary.”

”He’s now willing to give up the hard-earned public support in City No. 10, such courage is admirable,” Zero laughed and said, ”Many people make unnecessary efforts for vanity. Their sense of existence drives their actions, rather than being driven by reason.”

One suddenly said: ”Perhaps the public’s support isn’t so easily lost?”

Just as he finished speaking, an elderly man with a slipper rushed out. Wearing a vest, he walked to the most vocal middle-aged man and began hitting the back of his head with the slipper’s sole: ”If it weren’t for the Parents’ Meeting, I’d have died in the rat tide long ago. They weren’t afraid then. Do you think they’re afraid now? Wasn’t it dangerous then? Get back home, stop embarrassing us. You don’t work properly, idle day by day, and now you’re causing trouble, are you asking for trouble?”

The middle-aged man fled, holding his head: ”Dad, what do you understand? Aren’t they afraid of the battle? They’ve run and just handed us over as slaves to the West Continent!”

”Do you know what strategy means? What’s wrong with being wronged for two years. Do you want to be wronged for a lifetime?”

The Parent Association Members in the queue watched in a daze. After the elderly man intervened, some other residents emerged to drag away their troublemakers, apologizing all the way: ”Sorry, we’ll educate them back home, no need for you to trouble yourselves.”

One smiled and looked at Zero: ”See? I was right, wasn’t I? I acknowledge what you said. Maybe someday they won’t be understood, but with all they’ve given now, things like this surely won’t happen.”

Zero smiled without responding.

At this moment, One took Zero towards the Garrison Camp.

”Where are you going?” Zero asked.

”Let’s go take a tour of the Garrison there,” One said, ”You haven’t really seen it yet. It’s a fun place, everyone is talented, and they speak nicely too.”

Zero couldn’t help but laugh—who would go to the Garrison Camp just for fun? One’s little intention was not hidden at all.

However, she still didn’t refuse.

Arriving at the camp gate, the Shadow Troop politely blocked them: ”Please present the electronic beacon.”

One took out something Qing Chen gave her. After the Shadow Troop soldier scanned it, they saluted immediately: ”Hello, Commander. Please enter.”

At this moment, Qing Chen was in a meeting in the conference room, not only with the defense forces of City No. 10 but also with Qing Kun, Qing Yu, and Jindai Yunlo on a conference call.

Qing Chen had also invited the Li Family’s frontline commander to join the meeting, but they had declined.

Just then, One and Zero suddenly stood at the door. He turned to look, surprised—surprised that Zero, who always said she wouldn’t help, would end up in such a place.

One winked at him, seemingly wanting some credit.

Qing Chen hesitated for a moment and said, ”Would you like to listen?”

Zero was not polite and walked directly in, saying: ”I’m only here for One. Frankly, your evacuation speed is too slow, it won’t be completed in time.”

Qing Chen frowned: ”Is it still too slow?”

At this moment, Qing Ye curiously asked: ”Who is this?”

Qing Chen explained: ”She is the person among us who knows the most about West Continent military tactics. Let’s hear her out first.”

Zero continued: ”First of all, they are well aware of the Jindai Consortium’s military deployments in the entire north. If I’m not mistaken, the Silver City Fleet will reach Relay Island tonight and launch the first batch of long-range artillery strikes. In just fifteen minutes, Jindai will lose all defensive capability, and the information systems will be entirely paralyzed.”

”Once they breach this gap, they only need one day to bring City No. 10 within their fire range. So essentially, you only have 31.7 hours left,” Zero said, ”I just calculated your Key of Gate’s average passage speed, it might take 7 days, 8 hours, and 12 minutes to complete the transfer. Many civilians just doubted the Parents’ Meeting’s departure, but actually, the leaving of the Parents’ Meeting is a protection for them, preventing this city from becoming ruins.”

”We have an anti-missile defense system,” Qing Ye responded.

Zero laughed and shook her head: ”Roosevelt Kingdom’s missile trajectories are different from traditional ones, and their advancement speed far surpasses yours. By relying on technology, you have no chance. You’d be better off relying on the power of Transcendents. But if you want to win this war... you might need 31.4 He Jinqiu. Maybe you should find a way to use God’s blood to replicate He Jinqiu. After 31.4 bionic copies of He Jinqiu cultivate for twenty years, then you’ll have the confidence to counterattack.”

Qing Ye and the others were perplexed, how does this have exact numbers—even decimals calculated in? What kind of computation is this?

Moreover, would it take 31 demigods?!

Zero looked at Qing Chen and Chen Yu standing beside him: ”Replicating Chen Yu would also work. Make 47.7 Chen Yus focus on painting in the Taboo Land for 20 years, and that should do it too.”

This time even Qing Chen was puzzled, this kind of measuring method is indeed quite odd...

So, does one He Jinqiu approximately equal half a Chen Yu?

Have you considered Chen Yu’s feelings with such a comment?

Zero said: ”Your decisive decision to evacuate is good. Roosevelt Empire’s Expedition Planning is far longer than you think. They have been preparing super-large landing ships for a long time. Hence, not only is their air force formidable, but you should also prepare for confronting their land forces. They have the ability to transport two modernized armies globally within five days. However, what you should consider now is... how to evacuate quickly.”

At this time, Jindai Yunlo spoke up from the holographic projection: ”What if I could hold them off?”

Zero looked at him: ”Can you hold them off for 7 days?”

Jindai Yunlo remained silent for a moment: ”Leave it to me.”

Zero: ”At any cost?”

Jindai Yunlo laughed: ”At any cost.”
