Chapter 503: 502, the player and the grand monk arrive in Busan_1
 

“Your Majesty.” Langqi asked Manina XIII, “Since the humans of the Blue Star are gathering in Busan, shall we avoid them and enter China’s territory through the East Sea?”

“Why should we avoid them?” Manina XIII countered.

“This …” Langqi was momentarily at a loss for words.

“There’s no need to avoid them, simply confront them directly.” Manina replied indifferently, “Our objective this time is to exterminate the thriving power of humanity, and now that they are gathered together, it’s the perfect opportunity to net them all in one fell swoop.”

Then Manina added: “Besides, the regular army of the Blue Star cannot inflict much harm on the monsters, how could we possibly fear them?”

“You’re right, Your Majesty.” Langqi immediately replied.

Although Langqi’s instinct told him that fighting humans in Busan was not a good idea, since the Emperor had spoken like this, he had no choice but to follow his orders.

However, he still decided to indirectly remind the Emperor: “Your Majesty, according to the intelligence sent back from the Pacific region, Su Yu is calling on all third-tier players with physical manifestation abilities to assist in Busan.”

“Gather players? What’s he up to?”

“It is said that he intends to plant some game-exclusive plants on Busan and Tsushima Island.”

“What kind of plants? Would they pose a threat to the swarm of monsters?”

“They are somewhat analogous to machine guns, not of serious threat. The intelligence suggests that mature plants have third-tier strength, but aren’t mobile.”

“Third tier? And immobile? Then there’s no need to worry.” Manina XIII dismissed the issue entirely.

But he remembered something else: “Right, none of our 108 ‘Su Yu special edition’ monsters got lost, right?”

“All intact.” Langqi answered.

“Very good!” Manina revealed a malicious smile, “Get prepared. We must give Su Yu a ‘surprise’!”

“Understood.”

…

…

The scene shifts back to Blue Star—Busan.

Under the command of Xue Wenli, the Busan City Government successfully evacuated nearly 300,000 residents out of Busan City within three and a half hours.

The evacuation operation continues.

Xue Wenli plans to move as many people as possible, especially those living near the coast, from Busan to the inner city in the next nine hours, ensuring stability and not causing chaos.

After all, no one can predict the intensity of this battle. If not managed properly, the whole of Busan may be burnt to a crisp.

By the third half hour after the gravity funnel ended, at Busan Gimhae International Airport, Su Yu and Xue Wenli warmly welcomed the first batch of arriving players—totaling 12,006 people.

“Boss Ke, we’ve arrived!”

The players exited from transport helicopters and airliners and excitedly waved at Su Yu on the not-so-distant platform.

“Welcome all, you’ve all worked hard!” Su Yu’s voice, amplified by magical power, covered the entire airport, as he also waved to the players coming off the planes.

“Boss Ke, don’t mention it, was it really that hard taking a flight?”

“The rise and fall of the world are everyone’s responsibility. Doing this is our duty!”

“If I were powerful enough, I’d also like to step onto the front line battlefield like you.”

The players responded passionately; their morale was high.

Some of the players asked: “Boss Ke, what shall we do now? Do we follow the instructions you posted an hour ago?”

An hour ago, Su Yu posted an important thread on the official forum.

The post emphasized that the first batch of players, upon their arrival in Busan, should not get off the planes if they are Druids or Priests; they will follow him to Tsushima Island instead;

Players of other classes should stay in Busan to help Xue Wenli in evacuating the populace.

Su Yu’s thread played a vital role.

Now, the special planes carrying the Druid and Priest players hadn’t even opened their doors, the ones getting off the planes were Warrior, Archer, Mage and other class players.

Su Yu turned his head to glance at Xue Wenli standing next to him, and then loudly announced to all the players:

“Everyone, listen! Proceed as I detailed in my post an hour ago. This woman standing next to me is Deputy Minister Xue Wenli of the relevant department. Listen to her orders and carry out the work of evacuating the people.”

“Rest assured, Boss Ke!” The players responded in unison, and each of them looked at Xue Wenli with respectful eyes.

Xue Wenli’s deeds had been widely propagated in the country as a key story. As one of the first batch of players to obtain the helmet, she sacrificed her own game time to contribute to humanity, and is currently only under the 30th level. The players all greatly respected her.

Su Yu patted Xue Wenli’s shoulder: “Comrade Xiao Xue, I’ll leave this place to you.”

“Mm.”

Then Su Yu flew up high into the air, saying to the Druid and Priest planes, “Everybody, follow me. Let’s head for Tsushima Island!”

…

15 minutes later, Su Yu arrived at Tsushima Island, 85 kilometers southwest of Busan, with the group of helicopters.

Technically, Tsushima Island belonged to Japan.

But in the face of this great crisis, humanity was foregoing the concept of nationality. In the three and a half hours before this moment, the Goryeo government had already dispatched a large number of aircraft and boats to evacuate all 32,000 people from Tsushima Island to the Goryeo mainland.

Of course, there were still stubborn Japanese people, or those who didn’t trust the Goryeo people, who refused to comply with the evacuation.

Faced with a crisis, extraordinary measures had to be taken. Goryeo’s military police resorted to unconventional means like tranquilizer guns and forcibly moved these people out of Tsushima Island after knocking them out.

At present, Tsushima Island was empty and devoid of any sign of human activity.

Su Yu, leading the group of helicopters, landed on a flat open space on Tsushima Island.

Tsushima Island was large, approximately 700 square kilometers in area; larger than the area inside Beijing’s fifth ring road. However, the island only had a population of 32,000, and most of it was greenery—perfect for planting without needing to destroy any buildings.

After the group of helicopters landed, the players filed out.

Su Yu took out a large number of golden seeds ready in his necklace and piled them on the ground in front of him.

These golden seeds had been carefully selected.

Seedlings with minimal utility like [Wall-nut], [Tall-nut], [Pumpkinhead] had been sifted out, what remained were useful plants like [Ice Shooter], [Cob Cannon], [Cherry Bomb], and utility plants like [Lily Pad], [Tangle Kelp] that could be planted in water.

Meanwhile, Su Yu told the players, “Everyone, start planting with me! Those golden triangular seeds are for [Cob Cannon], and the red, round seeds are for [Cherry Bomb]. These two types of plants take a while to mature, so let’s plant these first.”

“Understood!” The players responded in unison.

…

In the following time, Su Yu led the druids, priests, and other players in diligent planting on Tsushima Island.

With the continued arrival of players, their numbers were growing.

Large quantities of plant seeds quickly matured under ample sunlight and natural energy, ready to contribute in the upcoming battle.

Meanwhile, it’s worth mentioning that an hour and a half after the first batch of players arrived, the monk squad from Yunlu Mountain also successfully reached Busan.

Su Yu put down his work and went to Busan to welcome the monks.
