Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 389 - 254: West Cross Gathering Place (Ten Thousand Words)
After she left, Xiaoyueyue muttered, seemingly dissatisfied with Chen Tingting.
Out here, exposed to the elements, life is hard, and now it’s snowing heavily.
Nothing is as comfortable as home!
She just wants to stay at home, eat, drink, and play without worries. She doesn’t want to go anywhere.
"She’s not stupid. She’s actually quite smart."
A wise glint flashed in Wang Hao’s eyes, as if he had seen through everything:
"That’s exactly what she intended to do. She put in so much effort to establish an affiliated community. She definitely won’t miss such a good opportunity."
"Huh? So, what’s she doing?"
Xiaoyueyue tilted her head in confusion.
"That’s where her high emotional intelligence comes in! After all, I’m the boss of the villa area; she doesn’t want to overstep.
She smeared herself with that brainless idea, just so I’d suggest accepting the refugees. That way, her objective is achieved, and I save face."
Wang Hao said lightly.
Xiaoyueyue tilted her head and lamented like a little adult:
"The adult world is really complicated."
Wang Hao shook his head.
He also found it very complicated.
But he was also grateful.
With Chen Tingting handling these matters, he could relax much more.
...
Xiheng Town, Private Gathering Place.
Xiheng Town is vast and sparsely populated, with large tracts of fields.
It is very far from the bustling city, making it an ideal location for a gathering place.
That’s why a considerable number of people have gathered here, with power factions standing side by side, including ten superpower users.
Don’t think that ten is too few; you must know that this is a private settlement camp, not an official one.
If it were an ordinary small zombie horde, these ten superpower users would surely be enough to defend it.
However, this zombie horde is too massive this time.
And it’s not just Level 1 Monsters; there are Level 2 and even Level 3 Monsters. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
There is even a giant Fatty Bai among them.
However, this zombie horde hasn’t deployed gargoyle-type air forces.
Otherwise, the people in the gathering place might not even have a chance to escape.
"How long until the zombie horde arrives?"
Inside the operations room, a middle-aged man asked sternly.
"They are expected to arrive in three hours."
"Damn! Is there anyone coming to help?"
"No! But a private gathering place in the city responded, willing to take our people in and provide a good living environment.
If we agree to relocate there, they can provide some artillery support and will dispatch elite forces to assist on the road."
"What? A city gathering place?"
A man frowned.
Everyone exchanged glances, showing some delight on their faces.
Most gathering places choose to be built in remote areas, far from the demon caves.
Anyone capable of establishing a settlement camp near the city must be tough!
And for this settlement camp to stand until now, it must have some strength.
"Provide artillery support? Are they an official settlement camp? That’s impressive!"
A young lad expressed disbelief.
"There’s a military district over there, so if they’ve obtained weapons from the military district, it is possible."
"Can they accommodate so many of us?"
The middle-aged man asked, frowning.
"Yes, they can. They just took over a small community and are now renovating it for us to use."
"This..."
The middle-aged man fell into silence.
The First Settlement Camp also sent them a message back.
The First Settlement Camp just went through a big battle and no longer has the capacity to help them.
And the First Settlement Camp is far from here, too far to reach.
Tang Xueyi over there said they were willing to take in these people, but with such a long journey, and the zombie horde coming from that direction,
it’s hard to bypass it.
However, Wang Hao’s location is better.
It’s not too far away.
It’s possible to get there.
"What should we do? Stand firm or retreat? And where should we retreat to?"
All eyes were on the middle-aged man.
He was the highest leader here, and the critical decision needed to be made by him.
"Organize the civilians to evacuate first, order the guards to delay the zombie horde’s speed as much as possible, and buy more evacuation time."
After giving the order, the middle-aged man seemed to be drained of all his strength and collapsed into his chair.
His gathering place was gone!
Snow began to fall from the sky again, and during this evacuation, who knows how many will die.
But he had no choice.
This zombie horde was simply too overwhelming.
He didn’t even have the courage to fight.
"Report———, the monsters have spread out in a fan shape, seemingly trying to encircle us."
At that moment, a guard ran in to report.
"What?"
The middle-aged man jumped up from his seat, his jaw nearly dropping.
Have these monsters become so intelligent?
"Notify all remaining superpower users, we must also take action, we must break through a path, and escort the civilians and supplies out. Also! Contact the gathering place in the city to prepare, and provide artillery support for our retreat."
Pausing here, the middle-aged man added: "Let the youth and supplies go first!"
Harsh!
Yet this is reality.
In the current situation, it’s already impossible to ensure everyone’s safe evacuation.
In civilized society, the old, weak, sick, and young receive special care.
However, in this post-apocalyptic world, these people are burdens.
The ones truly needing protection are those between the ages of ten and twenty.
