Vice Speaker Su Yue noticed that Bai Mucheng's expression was not right, and immediately asked in a deep voice.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Mucheng folded the letter, took a deep breath, and explained to Su Yue and others.
"This is a secret order. The Red Alliance has used a few reconnaissance satellites to investigate the monster tide and discovered that a huge monster tide will arrive in the three major administrative districts in three days! Therefore, the Speaker of the Parliament requires us to retreat before the monster tide arrives, and this batch of weapons is used to cover our retreat."
When everyone heard Bai Mucheng's words, they all took a deep breath.
Vice Speaker Su Yue said with a frown.
"It's too late. There are still many people being evacuated stuck on the road."
"We have to execute it even if we don't have enough time. This wave of monsters is too large. We can't hold on. We must evacuate. If we can't do anything else, we can just retreat and intercept them at the same time. We can't just fight head-on in the current situation. We have to let the monsters in, lengthen the distance, let them kill each other along the way, and disperse their numbers."
Bai Mucheng gave a brief explanation.
“That’s the only thing I can do.”
Lu Yang said helplessly.
Seeing that everyone looked a little heavy, Bai Mucheng spoke.
"Let's unload the cargo first and distribute the medicines first. We can discuss the specific combat matters later!"
"Be gentle when unloading, be careful!"
Yun Su warned with some concern.
"I'll bring some people to unload it myself!"
Lu Yang waved his hand and took people up to unload the goods.
Shen Qiu stood quietly at the side, looking at Bai Mucheng from time to time.
At this time, Bai Lanxin came to Shen Qiu, touched Shen Qiu with her arm and said.
"What are you looking at?"
"No!"
"Not yet. I noticed you were staring at my eldest sister. Could it be that you are not?"
"Ahem, stop talking nonsense!"
"Look how nervous you are. I was just joking with you. But anyway, I haven't seen you for a while and you seem to be doing better and better!"
"It's okay, just messing around."
"Tsk, who would believe you? I'm asking you, is this airborne aircraft yours?"
"Of course it's mine!"
"Where did you get this?"
"Someone gave it to me."
"Tsk, why didn't anyone send me off?"
Bai Lanxin rolled her eyes and replied.
“It was really given to me by someone else.”
Shen Qiu replied with a bit of a smile, "No one believes the truth these days."
At this moment, Bai Mucheng arranged everything, her eyes fell on Shen Qiu, and then she walked over.
Bai Lanxin saw Bai Mucheng coming and quickly moved away. Since Bai Mucheng was too outstanding since childhood, she gave people an extremely heavy sense of oppression.
Therefore, Bai Lanxin would feel a little nervous whenever she saw Bai Mucheng.
Shen Qiu was a little surprised to see Bai Mucheng coming over, but his expression didn't change much.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll have someone arrange a place for you to rest."
"No need. There are rooms inside the empty platform. We can just live inside. Besides, the empty platform needs someone to watch over it."
Shen Qiu shook his head and rejected Bai Mucheng's proposal.
"Alright, I'll get busy now."
Bai Mucheng agreed after hearing what Shen Qiu said, then turned and walked towards the cargo hold.
At this time, Qi Dong hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"Well, Boss."
"What's wrong?"
Shen Qiu turned his head and looked at Qi Dong who was hesitating.
"I'm not too tired, and I don't have anything to do right now. Can I go and help distribute the medicine?"
"I don't care what I do, go ahead!"
"Thank you, Boss."
Qi Dong responded very happily and then ran away.
Chen Ye looked at Qi Dong who was leaving and said while smacking his lips.
"Alas, you value women over friendship!"
"If you go find one, I'll let you run away."
Shen Qiu replied to Chen Ye with a smile.
"Forget it, I'm fine being alone."
Chen Ye scratched his head and replied.
After listening to Chen Ye's words, Shen Qiu shook his head slightly, then stood where he was, quietly watching the people busy unloading.
…
Under the night.
Bai Lanxin appeared stealthily on the street, turning her head and looking around from time to time.
When she walked to the intersection ahead, she bumped head-on into another figure.
"Bai Lanxin, why are you here?"
"I should ask you, Wang Yanying, what are you doing here?"
Bai Lanxin asked back with a dark face.
"I'm too full to sleep, so why don't I go for a walk? What are you doing here so late at night?"
Wang Yanying replied with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"I just ate too much to digest the food, isn't that okay? Why do you care so much?"
Bai Lanxin also started talking nonsense.
"Okay, let's go our separate ways."
"good!"
After the two finished talking, they walked in the same direction at the same time, but they immediately stopped and looked at each other with dark faces.
"Wang Yanying, tell me the truth, are you going to look for Shen Qiu?"
Bai Lanxin took the lead and asked.
"Who said that it's not okay for me to just go this way?"
Wang Yanying replied guiltily.
"I don't believe you. You're wearing lipstick and washing your hair at this hour of night!"
"Okay, I admit it! What's wrong with me going to find him? Do you have to take care of this?"
"Why are you looking for him?"
"Of course I asked him for help. It's not that the front line is too stressful."
"That's too much. Aren't you trying to steal from me?"
Bai Lanxin replied through gritted teeth.
"He's not yours."
"Shit, is he familiar with you?"
The two men walked towards the private airport while arguing.
At this moment, Bai Mucheng appeared behind, looking at the two sneaky people with cold eyes, and a thoughtful expression on his cold face.
…
Inside the main control room of the empty platform.
Shen Qiu sat in the command chair and used his wristband to check the relevant information of the Red Alliance. Unfortunately, the network was very poor and the interface was almost stuck like a PPT.
At this moment, Angie suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously
"Someone is approaching the empty platform."
Anji said to Shen Qiu.
"I'll go out and take a look."
Shen Qiu said this and stood up and left the main control room.
…
Click!
When the exit opened, Shen Qiu saw Bai Lanxin and Wang Yanying walking towards him while arguing, and immediately asked.
"Why are you two here?"
"Looking for you!"
Bai Lanxin and Wang Yanying looked up and saw Shen Qiu, and they spoke at the same time.
"Oh, come up then."
Shen Qiu felt weird, but still invited him.
As a result, the two of them stared at each other as if they were guarding against thieves, and neither of them went forward.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Qiu looked at the two of them in confusion. What happened to these two girls today
Just then, a cold voice came from behind the two of them.
"What are you doing here?"
Bai Lanxin and Wang Yanying were startled and turned to look at Bai Mucheng who suddenly appeared.
The two explained with stiff smiles on their faces.
“Just passing by.”
Shen Qiu was even more surprised when he saw Bai Mucheng appear. What day was it tonight? Why did they come here
Bai Mucheng then spoke coldly to Bai Lanxin and Wang Yanying.
"Since you are just passing by, let's go. I have something to talk to Shen Qiu about."
"good!"
Bai Lanxin and Wang Yanying immediately left in shame.
Soon, only Shen Qiu and Bai Mucheng were left. Shen Qiu coughed and asked.
"Do you want to come up and talk?"
"No, let's talk outside."
Bai Mucheng replied calmly.
"good!"
Shen Qiu came down, and the two of them walked out together.
A cool breeze blew over, and neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was a little subtle.
At this time, Bai Mucheng spoke to break the silence.
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to come here. Aren't you a Star Envoy in the City of Stars? How did you find time to come to the front line?"
After listening to this, Shen Qiu felt a little melancholy and spoke to Bai Mucheng indifferently.
"Actually, I have no interest in the position of Star Envoy. I took this position purely to help Long Er. As for coming here to support, isn't this a very normal thing?"
After listening to Shen Qiu's words, Bai Mucheng looked into the distance and said.
"Well, your personality has changed a lot compared to before. But your charm remains the same. You are almost an old man, but you are still so popular with girls."
"Ahem, is there?"
Shen Qiu responded slightly embarrassedly.
"Don't be nervous. I have no objection."
"I'm not nervous, that's a bit off topic. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I need your help with something."
Bai Mucheng stared at Shen Qiu and said.
"you say!"
"That strange wave will arrive here in three days, so we decided to implement the retreat plan in two days."
"feasible!"
"But there is a very tricky problem! There are many wounded here, and we can't take them with us during the retreat, so I would like to ask you to use an air carrier to send them to the City of Sunken Stars."
"Okay, when do we leave?"
After hearing this, Shen Qiu immediately agreed.
"The sooner the better. This way, we might be able to make one more trip."
"If we only consider the distance, it takes eighteen hours to go to Shenxing City and back. If we add in extra time, one trip a day should be no problem."
"Well, I'll ask the hospital to prepare now. How many people can you transport at one time?"
"If they are seriously injured, I guess we can't transport too many people at once. After all, they all need to lie down. Taking into account the internal passages of the air carrier, I estimate that 8,000 people is the limit."
Shen Qiu hesitated for a moment and replied.
Although the Sky Shadow has a very high carrying capacity, most of the wounded can only lie down. Even if it is packed as much as possible, the number of people it can carry at one time is very limited.
Moreover, it is not possible to transport all the injured, so some doctors and nurses must accompany them to take care of them along the way.
"I understand. Let's go."
Bai Mucheng said this and turned and left.
Shen Qiu looked at Bai Mucheng's back as she left and sighed slightly. At this moment, he noticed something strange, turned his head to look at the corner of the building in the distance, and then walked over.
At the corner, Bai Lanxin and Wang Yanying were hiding there.
"You said, Bai Mucheng is not interested in Shen Qiu, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? My elder sister has never been interested in men. She must be talking to Shen Qiu about serious matters."
"What serious matter do we have to talk about so late?"
"How would I know? Don't squeeze me. I can't see."
"Who pushed you? It's obviously because you're fat!"
…
"What are you doing here?"
Shen Qiu suddenly appeared in front of the two of them and asked in confusion.
Bai Lanxin and Wang Yanying were both shocked and responded quickly in embarrassment.
"It's okay, we're just taking a walk."
"Yes, we are too full."
"Okay, then you guys take a walk."
Shen Qiu smiled silently and did not expose them.
Bai Lanxin and Wang Yanying left quickly feeling guilty.
Shen Qiu sighed and walked towards the aircraft.
When he returned to the main control room of the aircraft, Chen Ye came up to him with a smile.
"Boss, is there something good?"
"What good can come of it?"
"Nothing good has happened yet. We all saw it. Three girls are looking for you! Didn't something unspeakable happen?"
Chen Ye replied with a wink.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he immediately turned to look at Anji, who said with a smile.
"It's none of my business. They wanted to see it, so I took some photos for them to see."
"You guys are so free. Hurry up and get ready. We will be returning to Sunken Star City soon."
"Ah? You're going back so soon?"
Chen Ye asked doubtfully.
"Help transport the wounded away. Call Qi Dong and tell him."
Shen Qiu replied simply.
"good."
Chen Ye responded quickly.
…
Not long after, following Bai Mucheng's order, all hospitals in Yinglu City were put into action.
Nurses and doctors sent the seriously injured patients to the ambulances, and all the ambulances drove to the private airport behind the City Lord's Mansion.
At the same time, soldiers in black armor came over in an orderly manner, surrounded the entire private airport, and took over the place.
Shen Qiu took Chen Ye down from the exit, while Yun Xiaoxi, Bei Kailun and An Ji stayed in the main control room.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a major general's uniform and with a weather-beaten face walked up to Shen Qiu, saluted him and said.
"Hello, I am General Shi Ke. I will be responsible for all matters related to the transportation of the wounded this time."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. How long will it take for the wounded to arrive?"
Shen Qiu replied politely.
“Almost there!”
As soon as General Shi Ke finished speaking, a shrill sirens sounded in the distance and medical vehicles came rushing over.
After seeing this, Shen Qiu turned and said to Chen Ye.
"Chen Ye, wait a minute. Please help keep an eye on them and try to provide them with convenience as much as possible!"
"good!"
Chen Ye nodded heavily in response.
Before long, a number of medical vehicles stopped behind the empty plane. The doors of the vehicles opened, and nurses and doctors carried the seriously injured soldiers and their beds down from the vehicles.
Some soldiers who were maintaining order immediately came forward to help.
Soon after, the entire private airport area was filled with wounded soldiers being carried down.
These soldiers were all seriously injured, either with extensive burns all over their bodies or missing arms and legs. As for the most seriously injured ones, they were all plugged into medical equipment and in a coma.
Chen Ye took a look and swallowed hard. This situation was really terrible.
However, the wounded who were carried down were not sent to the aircraft immediately. Everyone was anxiously waiting for General Shi Ke's order.
General Shi Ke asked Shen Qiu respectfully.
"Master Shen Qiu, can we start transporting it?"
"Okay."
Shen Qiu nodded in response.
Shi Ke shouted loudly.
"Start checking the list and send it up!"
"yes!"
Many medical staff and soldiers took action and carried the wounded to the cargo hold.
An hour later, the cargo hold was filled with wounded, and people began to move them into the empty aircraft, carrying the wounded to various areas of the passage.
At this time, more than a dozen medical vehicles drove in and the doors opened.
Xiao Wu and Zhang Li, dressed in white doctor uniforms, jumped out of the car.
"Quick, send them up!"
Xiao Wu said anxiously.
"good!"
Zhang Li and others nodded in response, and they immediately started to carry the wounded off the medical vehicle and sent them to the empty plane.
Chen Ye had sharp eyes and spotted Xiao Wu and the others. He touched his chin and muttered to himself in surprise.
"It's weird, I didn't see Qi Dong. This guy wasn't with Xiao Wu? Who did he go to see? Could he be going to see another girl?"
However, although he was confused, Chen Ye did not go up to ask, but just stood there and watched.
Not long after, all the wounded people on the list that Xiaowu had transferred were sent up.
But when Xiao Wu and his team tried to send the remaining seriously injured soldiers up, they were directly rejected by the non-commissioned officer in charge of verifying the list.
"No! They are not on the list. All the wounded to be transported have been planned, and there is no extra space on the empty plane."
"Can't you be flexible? They are really seriously injured."
Xiao Wu requested anxiously.
"no!"
The sergeant replied in a very firm manner.
Xiao Wu felt very disappointed when she heard this. At this moment, she inadvertently saw several non-commissioned officers standing in the queue for boarding the plane. They had bandages on their hands and were leaning on crutches. It seemed that their injuries were not very serious.
Her eyes moved slightly, and she immediately walked up to them and asked.
"Hello, officers. I see that your injuries are not serious. I have many seriously injured soldiers who need to be sent to the City of Sunken Stars for treatment. Can you please give up your place and wait for the next batch?"
At this time, a young non-commissioned officer who was leading the group replied with a unhappy expression.
"No, we are also seriously injured and need to go back for treatment. You should go find someone else."
"Please, the wounded on my side can't hold on any longer, can you please give them a hand?"
"No, this is all arranged by the higher-ups. Please get out of the way. We are going up."
"Please, they really can't hold on any longer."
Xiao Wu still pleaded without giving up.
"Hey! Stop bothering me and go away!"
"Go away, go away! Who are you? You give in just like that? You're crazy!"
"That's it, just move away and don't block it."
…
The non-commissioned officers present were immediately annoyed, and the young man in the lead pushed Xiao Wu impatiently. Xiao Wu staggered and fell to the ground.
Zhang Li, who was standing by, saw this scene and immediately rushed over, helped Xiao Wu up and scolded him angrily.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you mean by 'what should I do'? She is the one who is looking for trouble, okay?"
The non-commissioned officers retorted angrily.
As the quarrel continued, people around looked over. At this time, an older man with dark skin and wearing a colonel's uniform came over with his men.
"What are you doing?"
"Captain Liu Hao, you're here just in time. These guys are crazy and won't let us board the plane!"
The non-commissioned officers spoke to Colonel Liu Hao one after another.
After listening to this, Liu Hao said with a very unhappy expression.
"Why are you blocking my soldiers from going up?"
"Sir, I don't think their injuries are too serious. I have several wounded soldiers who are dying, so I was wondering if I could ask them to give up their positions."
Xiao Wu explained.
"Nonsense! The quotas allocated by the higher-ups are fixed. You don't have enough quotas, so why do you want quotas from the Night Shadow Corps?"
Liu Hao scolded without any politeness.
"It's true that the quota is yours, but do you think they are seriously injured and about to die? It's just a little injury, so what's the big deal?"
Zhang Li was not polite at all and directly exposed their criticism and retorted.
"This is none of your business, right?"
Liu Hao suddenly became angry.
…
Chen Ye was watching this scene from a distance, smiling so hard that his mouth couldn't close.
"What are you laughing at?"
Shen Qiu walked over and asked doubtfully.
"Ahem, Boss, look over there!"
"Isn't that Qi Dong's ex-girlfriend Xiao Wu? Why are they arguing? What happened?"
"What else could have happened? There wasn't enough space. His ex-girlfriend saw that those guys weren't seriously injured, so she wanted them to make way, and that led to a conflict."
"Can someone not seriously injured board the plane? Isn't this flight only for the seriously injured?"
"Oh, Boss, isn't this a common thing? There are connections everywhere. It's obvious that those guys are the new nobles. They want to escape quickly. After all, it's not safe to retreat with the main force. We might be attacked by monsters when we turn around."
Chen Ye explained simply to Shen Qiu.
"So why are you still standing here watching the joke instead of going up to help?"
Shen Qiu replied unhappily.
"Well, isn't it because Zhang Li is the one who's taking the lead? Let them hit a snag."
"Nonsense, how can you do things like this?"
"He stole Qi Dong's girlfriend, so I'm helping Qi Dong vent his anger."
"That's not how it's done. One thing is another!"
"How about I go over there?"
Chen Ye asked tentatively.
"No, I'll go by myself."
Shen Qiu knocked Chen Ye on the head in annoyance and walked straight over.
At this time, Zhang Li and others were arguing more and more with Liu Hao, and Liu Hao became angry and said something very harsh.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Get out of my way immediately, or don't blame me for being rude."
"It has nothing to do with them, but it has something to do with me."
Shen Qiu walked over and said in a cold voice.
Liu Hao and others, as well as those arrogant non-commissioned officers, all changed their expressions immediately when they saw Shen Qiu approaching.
"Master Shen Qiu, why are you here?"
"Let me ask you first. I am in charge of this transportation mission. Do you think it has anything to do with me?"
"Yes, it's related!"
"Then let me ask you, which of these people looks seriously injured?"
Shen Qiu asked directly.
Colonel Liu Hao took a deep breath and spoke to Shen Qiu in a low voice.
"Lord Shen Qiu, please be gracious and turn a blind eye. These people have people above them, and their connections and backgrounds are very deep."
"So what if they are related? Since we are on the battlefield, we will treat everyone equally!"
"Master Shen Qiu, you don't know that they are just here for internship, but they didn't expect the situation to be so bad. As long as you let them go, they will definitely repay this favor, and they are all on the withdrawal list, and it is all legal and compliant."
"I don't want to hear that from you. I only transport people who are seriously injured."
Shen Qiu refused bluntly.
At this time, the young man in the lead heard Shen Qiu's words and said angrily.
"My father is the deputy director of the logistics department. How dare you stop me from leaving?"
When Shen Qiu heard what the leading young man said, he walked up to him and slapped him in the face without any hesitation.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the young man was stunned by the slap. He was about to lose his temper and curse.
As a result, when he saw Shen Qiu's cold eyes, his body trembled violently and he closed his mouth in fear.
At this time, General Shi Ke hurried over and asked quickly.
"Master Shen Qiu, what happened?"
"You are the general manager, right? Look at what you have done. You have come to me through connections."
Shen Qiu said in a cold voice.
Shi Ke took one look at the non-commissioned officers and immediately understood.
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it well."
"I'll just say this, this trip is only for the seriously injured. I don't want to see anyone like this just to make up the numbers."
Shen Qiu said to General Shi Ke in a cold voice.
"Understood! Come here, arrest these guys and punish them by military law. Also, check the computer and arrest anyone who cheats!"
General Shi Ke shouted angrily at his subordinates.
"yes!"
The soldiers immediately carried out Shi Ke's orders.
“Have mercy!”
The non-commissioned officers shouted in horror.
Unfortunately, it was too late. General Shi Ke's subordinates did not give them face and went up to control all these guys without saying a word.
Soon after, many soldiers boarded the empty aircraft cargo hold to check.
When Colonel Liu Hao saw this scene, his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to say anything or stop it.
Before long, more than a hundred people were pulled down. Some of the wounded only had a broken hand, and it looked like it was a temporary injury.
What’s even more outrageous is that among the people who were dragged down, there were people wearing doctors’ uniforms and disguised as doctors.
They all lowered their heads, not daring to look people in the eye.
Of course, this was not Bai Mucheng's original intention. Although she approved the list, she had no time to verify it one by one, and she had to rely more on the people below to report it.
When Shen Qiu saw so many people being dragged down, he almost laughed out of anger.
"Well, that's amazing!"
"Master Shen Qiu, please don't be angry! I will report this matter to Vice President Bai Mucheng."
Shi Ke's face was burning. It was originally a very simple task, but it ended up causing so many unexpected problems.
Shen Qiu took a deep breath to calm his anger, then turned around and spoke to everyone present.
"Anyone who is seriously injured, whether on the list or not, will take up the vacant spot!"
"yes!"
Many soldiers and doctors present shouted excitedly.
Shen Qiu waved his hand, and everyone started to carry the seriously injured people up.
