Chapter 497: 496, Take over Busan_1
 

Now that the combat plan was determined, the remaining work was just to execute it accordingly.

Chairman Hu Jing was in the capital of Huaxia Nation.

He immediately contacted the Blue Star Defense Bureau, turning all of Huaxia Nation’s nuclear missile launch wells into a ready-to-trigger state to ensure they can be launched at a moment’s notice when needed in the future.

Su Yu opened two portals by the sea in Busan.

One portal transported Elder Tao and Zhong Feng back to Yunlu Mountain; the other portal sent Commissioner Zhang to the headquarters of the relevant department to take control of the overall situation.

After sending off the three, only Su Yu, Xue Wenli, and Cat Morning Star sitting on Su Yu’s shoulder were left by the sea in Busan.

Cat Morning Star was somewhat nervous, her back tightened as she gazed directly east to Kyoto in Japan, the massive swarm of monsters seemingly evoking some unpleasant memory from her time in the Star Realm.

Su Yu stretched out his hand and gently stroked her back, gradually easing Cat Morning Star’s emotions.

“Su Yu, what should we do next?” Xue Wenli turned her head towards him, feeling a heavy burden on her shoulders.

“What we’d do…” Su Yu paused, then said, “Of course, we should take over this city, Busan, to reduce obstacles for the arrival of the main force. By the way, do you speak Korean?”

“I speak a little bit of Korean,” Xue Wenli answered.

“That’s fine, even if you don’t speak Korean.”

Su Yu took out his phone and looked up the address of the Busan City Hall and the location of the mayor’s office in the city hall.

After identifying the location, Cat Morning Star jumped back into her pet space, and Su Yu took Xue Wenli to the target location using a teleportation formation.

In a flash of white light, they arrived at the plaza in front of Busan City Hall.

Su Yu took Xue Wenli into the air and flew directly up to the 16th floor, crashing through the facade from outside and into the mayor’s office.

However, the mayor’s office was empty.

After randomly grabbing a clerk outside and interrogating, Su Yu found out that the mayor was holding an emergency meeting in the large conference room on the 13th floor.

Without thinking too much, Su Yu’s silver-white teleportation formation lit up beneath his feet again, and the next second, he and Xue Wenli were in the large conference room.

“Who are you? (in Korean)” The mayor of Busan was nervously discussing matters with his bureaucrats when the sudden appearance of the silvery-white light startled him.

He was aware of what was happening in Japan. Could it be that there were assassins among the monsters sent to kill him?!

High-level officials sitting around the conference table panicked and screamed, fleeing away from where the teleportation formation was, some even staggering as they rushed out through the conference room door.

However, once they saw that the teleportation formation had brought two humans, especially when they saw Su Yu’s face, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

“You’re … Su Yu? (in English)” The Mayor of Busan was filled with disbelief.

Su Yu’s name was known to all in this day and age, he could be considered world-famous.

So, after just one look, the mayor recognized him.

“Yes, I am.” Su Yu glanced at the Koreans in front of him and answered calmly.

However, his English wasn’t great, he didn’t even pass the sixth level in college, so he wasn’t confident he would understand their Korean-accented English, so he looked at Xue Wenli.

Xue Wenli smiled slightly and said in perfect English, “Hello, this is Su Yu, as you already know, and I am Xue Wenli, the Deputy Minister of the Blue Star ‘Evolution’ Affairs Management Department.”

She also pulled out her identification to show the Mayor of Busan.

Once the mayor had looked at it, she said, “You must already be aware of what happened in Japan, right?”

“Of course, we deeply regret what happened in Japan. We are here to discuss how to respond to this incident, and are waiting for orders from the President,” the mayor of Busan answered.

“Very well,” Xue Wenli put the credentials back into her pocket and said seriously, “According to our speculation, the monster swarm on the islands of Japan will enter this city through the Tsushima Strait and the Korean strait. The timeframe is still uncertain.”

The mayor of Busan and his bureaucrats all turned pale.

When they learned of the appearance of the gravity well over Japan, they’d already guessed this scenario.

Now with Xue Wenli’s direct confirmation, they all had the feeling of the sky falling down on them.

“I knew it! This must be God’s punishment!” A bureaucrat in the room said with a trembling voice.

As he spoke, he started shaking and his eyes darted around, showing signs of an imminent mental breakdown.

The mayor of Busan glared at the bureaucrat, “Zhengxun, there’s no need to talk about religion at this time. Religion is just a tool used by humans to deceive themselves.”

However, as soon as the mayor reproached him, the bureaucrat’s mental state had already collapsed: “Haha! It’s the end of the world! The end of the world is here! A heavenly flood will completely inundate this world…”

The bureaucrat moved to open the window of the conference room to jump out.

Fortunately, his colleagues held him back in time.

Xue Wenli shook her head slightly in her heart.

This bureaucrat’s psychological quality was really poor. Compared to the entire interstellar war, this battle was merely a minor skirmish. If he couldn’t even handle this, how would they cope when the final showdown was upon them?

“Ahem.” Xue Wenli cleared her throat and said to the mayor of Busan,

“Now I am going to use our department’s authority to immediately take over this city. Mayor, obey my command and implement emergency martial law throughout the city! Deploy all military and police within jurisdiction to block all streets, halt all activities within jurisdiction, except for necessary food distribution, everyone must stay home and not go outside!”

“Understood!” The mayor of Busan immediately replied.

He knew the authority of the relevant departments and it was a crucial time, so without much thought, he agreed to all of Xue Wenli’s requests, following Xue Wenli’s instructions.

…

For a time, with Su Yu’s assistance, Xue Wenli successfully took over Busan.

What Xue Wenli needed to do was to prevent Busan from collapsing into chaos due to fear before the arrival of the main force.

The people of Busan could evacuate, but it had to be done in batches.

In order to avoid traffic jams caused by panic, disruption of supplies, and looting by the public, etc, all efforts had to be made to ensure the stability of Busan.

Fortunately, the mayor of Busan was cooperative, he executed and implemented all of Xue Wenli’s orders well.

Xue Wenli informed the mayor of Busan and his bureaucrats of part of the plan set up by Chairman Hu Jing, which greatly stabilized their emotions.

Under their cooperation, martial law was quickly implemented throughout Busan without causing any significant turbulence.

Next, they just had to wait calmly for the arrival of the main force.
