Chapter 491: Chapter 369: Preparing to Move

This insect tide, although it mysteriously disappeared into the shade of the trees, the threat from the insect calamity did not vanish.

First, there is the crack in the sky that could appear at any moment, not to mention the exact number of Soldier Bugs that have crossed the rift into Blue Star remains unclear to everyone.

Although Dong Tianyu, using Sword Control in the air, only vaguely saw a few areas, even with his keen senses, the area his eyes could actually cover wasn’t very far.

Dong Tianyu did not believe the cracks in the sky appeared only near Pengcheng. Judging by the extent of previous disasters, it was sure to affect the whole of Blue Star.

Moreover, even though the Soldier Bugs around Pengcheng have been eradicated, the damage they caused is far from over.

The Soldier Bugs blazed a wide road from Bug Mountain to Pengcheng, and on this road, let alone the original giant trees, there wasn’t a single blade of grass left on the ground.

Although Pengcheng benefitted from an unexpected wide road, the ancient creatures that originally lived in this area have either fled or been devoured by the Soldier Bugs.

Putting aside how Pengcheng might use this road, when Dong Tianyu returned home, he waited for Mr. Thompson to come back in the evening before the family of three sat down together for another family meeting.

Although it was a three-person family meeting, Mrs. Thompson, as usual, simply listened quietly at the table to the conversation between Mr. Thompson and Dong Tianyu, not voicing her own thoughts.

"Dad, this insect tide was due to some accident, which is why our camp wasn’t attacked. Otherwise, if those Soldier Bugs had really launched an attack on our camp, it would be difficult for us to defend the Survivor Camp from the onslaught of the insect tide. That’s why I am thinking of moving you and mom.

I have friends in Kyoto; I want to settle you and mom down there. After all, Kyoto is the Capital City, so there’s no doubt about its safety," Dong Tianyu said.

At Dong Tianyu’s words, Mr. Thompson was silent for a while before speaking, "Would we have to start over there?"

Hearing his father’s question, Dong Tianyu immediately understood his father’s thoughts. It seemed that power was indeed a hard thing to leave behind, and holding the reins of power was truly every man’s dream.

Despite knowing his father’s thoughts, Dong Tianyu still urged, "Dad, in the current situation, safety has to come first. I won’t say more about that.

If it were a climate-type disaster like before, staying here would at worst mean enduring hard times. Besides, with me here, I wouldn’t let you suffer. But this disaster is an insect calamity.

If those bugs clan really breach the camp’s defenses, it would spell doom for the survivors. Don’t forget why we moved here from Pengcheng.

In the face of life-threatening danger, those messy things can actually be forsaken."

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Mr. Thompson still seemed reluctant as he said, "When we hurriedly moved here to avoid danger, now when you look at Pengcheng, aren’t there still many Survivor Camps? If we hadn’t moved here at that time, then..."

Before Mr. Thompson could finish, Dong Tianyu immediately interjected, "If we hadn’t moved, we would probably be the same as the other survivors in that camp, disappeared without a trace."

Hearing this, Mr. Thompson fell silent. At first, he didn’t know the situation of the old Moon Bay Camp, but after later hearing about it and looking into the details, he felt very fortunate that his family had escaped that fate.

With this in mind, his intense longing for power began to waver, but Mr. Thompson still stubbornly said, "Our camp’s defenses are actually quite strong. As far as I know, among all Survivor Camps in the Pengcheng surrounding area, there are not many that, like ours, have spent a lot of money to build concrete walls."

"That’s why I plan to take you both to Kyoto. Pengcheng, being an inland city before the disasters, was surrounded by a few military zones that mainly focused on training, without much stored Ammunition.

The most important thing is, the former munitions factories in Pengcheng primarily manufactured specialty vehicles, and the weapons and ammunition were makeshift productions from the latter stages after the disasters.

Although Martial Artists have now become the main pillar of the city’s fighting capability, clearing large battlefields is still more efficiently done with thermal weapons like Missiles.

We don’t have that stuff in our camp; after all, for something like Missiles, one needs a launch well or a mobile Platform to use them.

Having gone through several rounds of disasters, most Platforms built before the disasters have basically become useless, and Pengcheng does not have the resources to construct a new Platform.

If the insect tide had targeted our camp this time, given the defensive capabilities of our camp, we could hold out for at most one day, unless Pengcheng managed to provide timely reinforcements. Otherwise, the result is clear without my having to spell it out, I presume you understand."

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s hypothetical scenario, Mr. Thompson also simulated it in his mind. Although his position was not in any crucial department, his status gave him a general understanding of the situation in the camp.

After a few simulations, Mr. Thompson realized that Dong Tianyu’s estimation of holding out for one day was actually quite optimistic.
