"Currently, most areas of the city are still under our control, and the buildings are relatively intact. We have also arranged for soldiers to gather and transfer materials left in various shelters and warehouses." In a makeshift communication room, Chen Xin was on a call with the military commander of the city, the general he had t before, listening to the introduction of the current situation in the city.
"Can we organize a team to return to the city to collect materials? Is this plan feasible?" Chen Xin asked the general. Although he was very concerned about the leftover materials in the city, he was not willing to exchange lives for materials.
If the general told him that the situation in the city was too dangerous and not suitable for organizing personnel to retrieve materials, he would not insist on proceeding with the plan.
Recovering leftover materials in the city is indeed important and aningful, but the premise is to ensure relative safety.
If it turned into a doomsday survival film scenario, where collecting materials cost several lives, Chen Xin would never agree to such an approach.
Fortunately, the current situation in the city is relatively stable.
According to the general's report, most parts of the city are currently under military control. After the initial encounters with alien creatures, they seed to lose montum and did not launch a large-scale invasion of the city. Only the areas along the lake had so parts that were difficult to defend, which the military voluntarily abandoned, turning them into fallen zones.
In addition, the ant drone's penetration of the city, which had previously troubled everyone, was not severe. This was mainly due to the reinforced concrete, as the ant drones, despite their digging abilities, did not seem to possess any acidic corrosion capabilities and, for the ti being, could not penetrate reinforced concrete.
This considerably enhanced the city's safety, increasing the feasibility of Chen Xin's planned material collection operation.
"If we are to collect materials, I think it's feasible to operate in relatively low-risk areas, where safety can still be guaranteed," the general considered Chen Xin's idea and agreed to his plan.
Although the front lines were still engaged in battle, organizing personnel in the rear to conduct such a material recovery operation posed significant risks. However, after the general and Chen Xin conducted an assessnt, they both felt the risk was worth taking.
On the one hand, the military currently controlled the situation, ensuring the safety of the personnel involved. On the other hand, these materials were extrely important for the tens of thousands of people currently housed in Do City.
After all, these tens of thousands of people were evacuated from the city in a hurry, carrying only their most essential personal belongings. Besides, they brought nothing much else with them.
Even the municipal staff at the ti prioritized personnel evacuation as the top priority, leaving behind a large amount of materials and equipnt that were difficult to transport.
While the abandonnt of these items was a practical necessity during the evacuation, the current material shortage faced by the tens of thousands of people now settled was an undeniable fact.
Although the state had begun organizing the transportation of materials, collecting the leftover materials directly from the city was the fastest thod compared to transporting materials from other places to Do City.
Moreover, abandoning so many things would result in substantial losses, sothing Chen Xin could not easily accept.
While this might make him appear petty, during such tis, it's important to save where possible to avoid a difficult life.
As the old saying goes, "Only when you run a family do you understand the value of fuel and food." Previously, Chen Xin was responsible for the Research Center, but all the managerial issues were handled by Tang Tang, the administrative supervisor, relieving Chen Xin of such concerns.
But now, as the de facto highest authority in Do City, all problems fell onto his shoulders.
While facing material shortages, Chen Xin certainly could report upwards to request material support, but that seed overly irresponsible.
Out of a sense of internal responsibility, Chen Xin decided to find a way to go back to the city and collect those leftover materials.
After discussing the specifics of the operation plan with the general, Chen Xin ended the call, preparing to recruit personnel to organize a team to return to the city and collect materials.
The news quickly spread among the tens of thousands of people in Do City. Although so manpower had already been conscripted for Do City's construction, this did not compare to the risks involved in returning to the city to collect materials.
Suddenly, there were very few volunteers willing to sign up.
Because there was indeed a potential life-threatening risk, after discussions with the city leaders, Chen Xin decided to adhere as much as possible to the principle of volunteering, without forcing citizens to participate in this operation.
Besides promoting and persuading everyone to volunteer, the city's primary arrangent for this operation was to employ police officers and city officials.
Protecting the people is part of the police duty, and the city police's special forces already possessed significant firepower. Although they might struggle against the alien creatures, they were undoubtedly better than the unard civilians.
Ultimately, aside from the special forces, those accompanying Chen Xin on this operation included so civilian volunteers and so organized city staff.
For operational safety, Chen Xin personally led the team, piloting the White Dragon as an escort.
Qin Lan also took charge of Zhu Luan, joining her forr special forces colleagues in action, while Mo Qingyan piloted Lu Shu, providing support to the duo.
Zhu Luan's handso appearance and formidable battle strength made Qin Lan's special forces colleagues envious. Such powerful equipnt was more attractive to them than any peerless beauty.
Ding Ning, taking advantage of her good relationship with Qin Lan, even climbed into Zhu Luan's cockpit to experience it, afterward pestering Chen Xin to get her one as well.
Chen Xin knew that Ding Ning was rely joking, but he had, in fact, been considering police-use Titans. However, the most pressing matter was collecting materials, so for now, this idea had to be postponed, not detracting from Chen Xin's focus.
"This operation to return to the city to collect materials involves a certain level of risk. Although the military currently controls the situation, we will be heading to relatively safe areas, but the risk still remains, so everyone—"
