Chapter 188 Persuading Qin Changyi
"Uncle Qin, I have something very important to report to you!"
Riding Pipi back to Kangcheng, Yichen immediately returned to the police station, found Qin Changyi, and said in a deep voice.
"It's so late, what urgent matter could there be?"
"Was it you who subdued the Bai sisters?"
Qin Changyi was taking off his clothes when he asked with a smile.
"No, Uncle Qin, I've discovered a crisis that could be a near-catastrophic disaster for our Kangcheng!"
If this isn't handled properly, Kangcheng will lose at least half its population!
Yi Chen said with a serious expression.
"what's up?"
Seeing Yichen's serious expression, Qin Changyi suddenly realized that Yichen was not joking. He composed himself, frowned, and asked.
“There is an evolved insectoid race that is heading this way, more than 100 kilometers away from Kangcheng.”
They eat everything, and in the places they plunder, not even a blade of grass is left.
They are enormous in scale; from a distance, their advance lines appear to be at least tens of kilometers wide.
Moreover, there are many second-tier beings among them, and there is even a very high possibility that there is a massive third-tier queen.
At their speed, they'll reach Cannes in two and a half days at most, dealing us a devastating blow!
Yichen recounted his observations along with the information Cangnian had conveyed.
"Over a hundred kilometers? And there's a third stage? Really?"
Why did you go to such a far place?
Upon hearing this, Qin Changyi frowned even more deeply.
Every word Yichen said made him feel like he was dreaming.
It's important to know that during this period, most people in Kangcheng only stayed within a radius of about ten kilometers outside the city.
Even powerful civilian forces with second-tier evolved beings, or official forces like their police stations, could only advance to a range of fifty kilometers at most.
Moreover, it was only in the last two days that second-tier evolved creatures were discovered by evolved humans who went out to explore and hunt.
Therefore, Yi Chen's statement that there is a high probability of a third-order evolved creature is simply unbelievable to him!
"Uncle Qin, you'll know it's absolutely true if you come with me!"
However, time is of the essence now. If we waste time running back and forth, we may miss the opportunity to ambush and stop the insect swarm.
Uncle Qin, send someone right now with the explosives from my dad's warehouse, along with those bomb experts.
"If we plant the explosives underground and ambush them properly, we might have a chance to kill that third-tier queen, and then Kangcheng could still be saved!"
Yi Chen said anxiously.
To stop the insect swarm, we need to arrive at least several tens of kilometers before they reach Kangcheng.
Otherwise, once the insect swarm reaches Kangcheng, let alone whether hundreds of thousands of citizens can be evacuated, how much will be lost in terms of survival supplies?
The sheer speed and relentless advance of the insect swarm meant that if they reached Kangcheng, the surrounding area would be completely devastated.
In that case, even if the insect swarm is defeated, the area around Kangcheng will be ruined.
If the entire city were forced to flee into the wilderness, the elderly and children, who lacked any fighting ability, would almost certainly perish.
Even healthy adults cannot guarantee that they will not die during such migrations, as evolutionary organisms become more advanced.
This is something that even evolved beings cannot guarantee, let alone ordinary people.
That is why, even though the evolved beings possess great strength, they still return to Kangcheng every night.
People always get tired, and only by living in a community can one better withstand all kinds of crises.
In short, Yi Chen knew very well that if more people wanted to survive, the location of the ambush could not be too close to Kangcheng.
"This……"
Upon hearing Yichen's words, Qin Changyi immediately hesitated.
It's worth noting that during the previous earthquake, all the electronic equipment in Kangcheng was suspected of being destroyed by electromagnetic pulses.
Therefore, the only means of transportation available in Kangcheng now is the purely mechanical hand-cranked tractor.
In addition, the scrapped cars on the roads in Kangcheng city have not yet been cleared away, and very few roads are passable.
Therefore, the transportation of supplies in Kangcheng relied almost entirely on carrying them on shoulders and backs. If Yichen's plan were followed, the manpower required would be enormous!
Moreover, it is nighttime now, and the wilderness is quite dangerous. During the transport, many evolved beings need to escort the entire journey.
Such a large-scale operation would require the deployment of almost half of the Cannes Police Department's manpower!
Qin Changyi couldn't make such a choice based solely on information from Yi Chen that couldn't be immediately verified.
In particular, many local forces in Cannes are now eyeing the police station with hostility.
"Old Qin, Chen'er would never lie!"
If you keep dragging this out until something bad happens, can you really take responsibility for the lives of the hundreds of thousands of survivors in Kangcheng?
"You didn't listen to Jingwei before, and now Kangcheng is in this state. If you're still hesitating, then let's just do nothing and wait to die!"
Beside her, Yi's mother immediately put her hands on her hips, pointed at Qin Changyi's nose, and cursed.
She had complete trust in Yichen.
"Honey, don't speak so rudely!"
Yi's father, standing to the side, patted Yi's mother's outstretched hand and then looked at Qin Changyi.
"Old Qin, I know you have concerns, but have you forgotten what our university president said at the graduation ceremony?"
Human life is at stake; personal gain or loss is irrelevant!
You compromised before because you were afraid the situation would get chaotic and many people in Cannes would die, so I don't blame you.
But now, if what my son says is false, at worst I'll have made a wasted trip.
If what my son said is true, then he saved hundreds of thousands of survivors in Cannes.
If you're not willing to do it, then give me back that batch of gunpowder, and I'll use half of it to hire people to escort it.
With Chen'er and Pipi's abilities, they should be able to keep things under control.
"It was also my father who said this earnestly."
"This... Jingwei, I was timid and ashamed of this garment."
I'll organize manpower right now, mobilize the entire police station, transport gunpowder, and stop the insect swarm!
"Yichen, wait a moment. Take me to see how the insect swarm is doing."
Qin Changyi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he stood up, his demeanor shifting from somber to sharp and piercing.
"That's more like it! You won't get it unless I yell at you!"
Yi's mother, who was standing nearby, also said happily.
"Uncle Qin, aren't we going to notify the whole city now?"
Yi Chen, standing to the side, asked a question.
He felt that this matter concerned the entire city of Kangcheng, and that everyone needed to work together to resolve this catastrophic disaster.
"If what you say is true, then at least 70% of the hundreds of thousands of survivors in Kangcheng will lose the courage to fight back."
At that time, order will completely collapse.
I'll go check the situation first. If it's true, I'll come back and gather all the evolved beings in the city to fight the enemy together.
Qin Changyi said with a firm gaze.
