Chapter 1211: Chapter 913: Stirred Emotions (Bonus Chapter for 20180705235803510) (4th Update)

"Where is the shelter?"

Su Mo asked.

"It’s deep underground in the City Lord’s Mansion. I’ll take you there."

Geterlo immediately said to Su Mo.

"Okay, let me first see how to arrange the rescue for the people."

Su Mo didn’t think too much about it.

However, among the crowd, Pades showed a strange expression upon hearing this.

...

Before long, Su Mo and the others followed City Lord Geterlo into a descending passageway, heading downward, with mecha units stationed inside guarding the way.

All the mecha units bowed when they saw City Lord Geterlo.

"City Lord."

Geterlo slightly nodded in response, "Thank you for your hard work."

Su Mo couldn’t help but take a closer look at this City Lord named Geterlo, feeling that he was unusually respected and supported.

Not to mention, just now in the conference room, when he asked who wanted to leave.

In a normal situation, people would probably be scrambling to leave desperately.

While Su Mo was pondering, they quickly reached the end of the passage.

Su Mo followed City Lord Geterlo and the others into Jabuticaba City’s largest underground shelter.

The entire shelter stretched as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight, filled densely with refugees, male and female, young and old.

Everyone’s faces were filled with panic, numbness, and unease.

Su Mo stood there frozen, completely stunned, unable to speak.

"Why are there so many people!"

Under normal circumstances, a city usually has around a million people. With the attacks, not many should have survived. Even though a Level 5 ship might not fit everyone, taking most of them shouldn’t be impossible.

There must be tens of millions of people here!

Whoosh~

At this moment, a large group of refugees noticed City Lord Geterlo and others had arrived. They slowly surrounded them, but did not crowd.

They looked at Geterlo and the others with hopeful eyes.

Geterlo sighed slightly and said to Su Mo, "The entire Mist Star has been attacked, with many cities fallen. Only Jabuticaba City is still holding on. Refugees from all around have gathered here through the ground tracks. Besides a few hiding outside, everyone here is basically the surviving population of Mist Star."

"I see, but that’s far too many people. Sorry, there’s really not much I can do."

Su Mo shook his head vigorously.

"Please! Save them, because if you don’t, they truly have no hope. Our Mist Star will really face extinction. I’m begging you!"

As Geterlo spoke, his voice choked up, and he surprisingly knelt on one knee before Su Mo.

Su Mo hurriedly reached out to help City Lord Geterlo up, shocked, "City Lord, what are you doing!"

The nobles and officials present also began to plead, "Please, we beg you!"

The surrounding refugee masses, one after another, knelt to Su Mo. Some children, not understanding what was happening, were also led by their parents to kneel.

They all pleaded.

"Please, save us."

Euler, with reddened eyes, said to Su Mo, "Mr. Su Mo, please help us. Mist Country cannot really fall by our hands."

"It’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t. Don’t you have any other ships?"

Su Mo asked helplessly.

"There are no ships left, only a few remaining escort ships. When the monsters attacked, it happened without warning. Most of the fleet and interstellar airport were destroyed immediately. Any ship that could fly had already left in the first instance."

Geterlo shook his head in response.

Su Mo took a deep breath, his expression turning increasingly bitter, unsure of what to do.

He regretted not bringing the Blue Whale over.

Su Mo looked into the pleading eyes and at the kneeling City Lord Geterlo. Although he had no connection with the people of Mist Country, he was deeply moved by the scene before him.

The elite members of the upper echelons were willing to humble themselves for the sake of continuing civilization.

Su Mo gritted his teeth and said, "It’s impossible to take everyone, but I will try my best to take as many as I can. My ship, it’s a Level 5 Battleship Shadow, can hold at most 1.5 million people. Please make the arrangements!"

"Thank you, Mr. Su Mo."

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Geterlo nodded heavily.

Soon after, the nobles and officials present all gathered beside Geterlo, discussing in low voices about the evacuation list and plan.

Soon, they confirmed a method.

Geterlo walked to the front of all the refugees, activated his bio-armor, and used the amplification function to speak heavily.

"All citizens of Mist Star, listen up. I am Geterlo, City Lord of Jabuticaba City. A rescue ship from Star Ring City has arrived. However, due to the ship’s limited capacity, only a portion of the people can be taken away. After our discussion, we have unanimously decided to prioritize the evacuation of young people under eighteen and a few intellectuals. All others will remain, waiting for the second batch of rescue."

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with tears of joy.

"Thank you, City Lord."

...

Watching the crowds, Geterlo felt a mix of emotions. He knew in his heart there wouldn’t be a second rescue.

But he had to say it.

At least he could give those left behind something to hold onto. Of course, there were certainly those present who saw through the ruse.

But what did it matter, as long as the children were saved, there was still hope for the continuation of this civilization.

Su Mo watched this unfold, feeling a mix of emotions and an indescribable sadness.

Just then, Pades walked over to Su Mo, with a slightly bitter smile, he called out.

"Mr. Su Mo."

Su Mo instinctively turned his head, and upon seeing Pades, he was also taken aback, exclaiming, "Pades, what are you doing here?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Cough, cough, it’s Pades. Oh, it’s embarrassing to say, I’m here on business, and I didn’t expect to get caught up in this mess."

Pades said bitterly.

"Wow, you actually made it all the way here for business, truly, ’you see a man in a different light after not seeing him for three days.’"

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"Don’t tease me. I just happened to be lucky, dealing with occasional supplies, and later met someone significant who connected me to Mist Star. I was hoping to make a fortune off the goods produced here, but I almost lost my life."

"Cough, cough, it won’t come to that. Now that you’ve met me, you’ll be leaving with us."

"That would be extremely generous of you."

Pades replied gratefully.

"It’s no problem, we’re friends."

Su Mo raised his hand and patted Pades on the shoulder.

At this time, Geterlo came over and said to Su Mo, "Give us 16 hours; we will gather the evacuees as quickly as possible."
