Chapter 471: Moving out ordinary people
"System, sign in." Su Siyi suddenly remembered that this was her sign-in location, and she immediately signed in with the system in her mind.
"Ding, you've successfully signed in to Nameless Island. Ten starships and one million points are your rewards." The system notification chimed in Su Siyi's head, and a delighted smile spread across her face. She hadn't expected such a generous reward for signing in, and it delighted her immensely. She thought to herself, if there were any humans who didn't want to leave for other planets first, with these starships, she could easily accommodate them.
She checked the cooldown time in the store again and discovered that a starship required three months. She frowned slightly, thinking that while it was a bit long, the rewards were generous, so it should be enough. So, she immediately purchased one. Looking at the brand new starship before her, her heart was filled with anticipation, eager to use it to protect more people and meet the upcoming challenges.
"Senior, our country already has a way to protect ordinary people from leaving here and keeping them alive and well. Once things calm down, those who can return will be able to do so." Su Siyi stepped forward, her gaze fixed firmly on the elder, her tone earnest and sincere. She knew he was constantly worried about the safety of ordinary people, fearing that the spiritual energy explosion would bring them catastrophic disaster. So, at this moment, she wanted to reassure him of his worries.
"Really? Then I don't have to worry about this place anymore, right?" A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and his frown relaxed slightly. He had been doing his utmost, using his last bit of strength to protect this world, hoping to hold on a little longer, giving ordinary people more chances to survive. If, as Su Siyi said, the country had a way to protect ordinary people and allow them to leave safely, then he wouldn't have to struggle any longer to suppress the impending spiritual energy.
"Really, Senior, I've already informed the seniors in several other areas. You don't have to sacrifice yourselves." Su Siyi nodded slightly, her expression solemn. She knew that guardians like this old senior were devoting their last ounce of strength to guarding the world's various spiritual energy flashpoints. They were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the world, and Su Siyi deeply admired their righteousness. Now that the country's technological development had advanced enough to protect ordinary people, she wanted to let these guardians know that they no longer had to bear this heavy responsibility alone.
"Really? That's wonderful." The old man smiled with satisfaction, tears of excitement gleaming in his eyes. He had dedicated his entire life to protecting the world, and his greatest wish was to see peace restored and people live and work in peace. Hearing Su Siyi's words, he felt that all his years of hard work had finally paid off.
"It's real. Look at this." Nangong Jingming stepped forward and pulled out a small device from his pocket. With a few gentle manipulations, he played a series of videos. These videos showcased the nation's advanced scientific and technological achievements, including spacecraft traversing space, scenes of people living on a lunar base, and images of ordinary people surviving safely under high-tech protection.
"What is this? Why can I see so many images?" The old man looked at the images released by Nangong Jingming with a puzzled look, his eyes full of curiosity. He had lived for so many years and had never seen such a magical thing. Those images seemed to be happening in real life before his eyes, which amazed him.
"These are just some of our high-tech gadgets. I can teach you how to use them, and you'll be able to understand a lot more about what's happening outside," Nangong Jingming explained patiently. He knew that for someone like the elders who had been guarding the mountains, these high-tech gadgets were very unfamiliar. He hoped that by letting the elders understand these technologies, they would feel more confident in handing over the responsibility of protecting the world to their generation.
"Okay, let me try. You guys are welcome to do whatever you want!" The old man looked at Nangong Jingming expectantly, his eyes full of desire. He couldn't wait to learn about the outside world. Seeing the old man's curiosity, the others stopped disturbing him and went their separate ways to explore the valley.
Nangong Jingming stayed behind and patiently connected a smart computer to the old man, and taught him how to use it step by step. The old man learned very seriously, his eyes fixed on the smart computer screen, afraid to miss any details.
Su Siyi and Qin Zhixuan walked hand in hand through the valley. They carefully admired the surrounding scenery. The valley was shaded by green trees, flowers bloomed, streams gurgled, and birds chirped. Everything here seemed so peaceful and beautiful. It was easy to see that the old man had put a lot of thought into this place.
After the veteran learned how to use the intelligent computer from Nangong Jingming, he was instantly captivated. He immersed himself in the rich and colorful world it presented, alternately marveling at the thought and smiling. He had never imagined that technology could be so advanced that it could allow people to leave Earth and explore the universe without any cultivation. For him, this was like opening a door to a new world.
"Haha, maybe he can go out and see the world from now on? That's great," the old man said to himself excitedly. His heart was filled with anticipation, imagining himself being able to walk out of this valley and see the outside world.
"Nangong boy, I want to go out and see other places, is that okay?" The old senior looked at Nangong Jingming expectantly, his eyes full of desire.
"Of course you can. Where would you like to go first, Senior?" Nangong Jingming agreed without hesitation. He knew that this old senior had protected the Earth for so many years and had sacrificed so much. Now that the old senior had made such a small request, he naturally had to meet it.
"I want to go to the interstellar world that you have discovered." There was a gleam in the old man's eyes. It must be a very magical world, and he really wanted to see it.
"Okay, senior, we can leave whenever you want." Nangong Jingming said with a smile, his tone full of respect and enthusiasm.
"Well, good, you are efficient." The old senior nodded with satisfaction, and was very satisfied with Nangong Jingming's answer.
"It is the righteousness of the senior." Nangong Jingming said modestly.
"Since you are here, it means you have a connection with this place, so follow me!" The senior looked at everyone and waved his hand.
Everyone knew something was afoot, and they gathered around excitedly. They followed the elder to a secluded spot in the valley, where they saw a massive formation slowly operating. The formation emanated a soft glow, shimmering with mysterious runes. The runes flowed, seemingly imbued with endless power.
"Senior, is this the formation you are guarding?" Su Siyi looked at the formation, his eyes full of curiosity and awe.
"Yes, the formation will soon be unable to hold out!" The old man's tone was filled with helplessness and regret. He had been using his own strength to maintain the formation, trying to delay the spiritual energy explosion, but now, his strength was gradually exhausted, and the formation was about to reach its limit.
"Well, it's okay. We've already made all the preparations. Since we know we still have six months left, we ordinary people will also be relocated." Su Siyi said firmly. She and Nangong Jingming and others had already made a detailed plan to safely relocate ordinary people to other places within the next six months.
"Well, we'll arrange this matter when we get back." Nangong Jingming nodded, his eyes revealing firm determination.
"Since you're here, practice well before leaving. The spiritual energy here is still very suitable for your current cultivation." The elder said, then walked to a corner of the formation and made an adjustment. Instantly, the spiritual energy in the formation became more dense, as if forming a huge spiritual energy vortex.
"Okay, thank you, senior!" Knowing this was a rare opportunity to cultivate, several people found a suitable place, sat down comfortably, and began to meditate. They closed their eyes, immersed in the rich spiritual energy, feeling it flow through their bodies, nourishing their bodies and souls.
A month passed quietly. During this month, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to cultivation, their mental state greatly improved, and their strength reached a new level. When they woke up from their cultivation, they felt refreshed and full of strength.
"Now that you're all awake, get out of here. I won't go back until the very last moment." The senior looked at everyone and said earnestly. He knew that these young people shouldered the responsibility of protecting the world and couldn't stay here for too long.
"Okay, senior, you must come to find us." Nangong Jingming held the old senior's hand tightly and said sincerely.
"Don't worry, I'll naturally come find you." The old man smiled and nodded. No longer needing to sacrifice himself, he naturally wanted to take a good look at the outside world, find these young people, and protect this world with them.
"Well, we'll wait for the senior to come find us." After bidding farewell to the elder, the group boarded the aircraft, filled with a wealth of knowledge and a firm belief in the future. The aircraft slowly ascended, gradually moving away from the nameless island. Looking out the window at the island gradually shrinking before their eyes, the group felt a surge of emotion. They knew that this trip to the nameless island had not only discovered a significant spiritual energy burst point, but also met a senior who had protected the world for many years, further strengthening their resolve to protect the world and humanity.
Su Siyi felt a little regretful that Linglu was unwilling to leave with her.
They finally left the Nameless Island in their aircraft and returned to City A. Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi, disregarding their travel fatigue, immediately called a meeting with the four major leaders. They knew time was running out, and every minute and every second was precious. They had to evacuate their people as quickly as possible to prepare for the impending spiritual energy explosion.
"Why are you so anxious? What happened?" In the conference room, several leaders looked at Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi, who looked hurried, and their hearts were filled with confusion. They had a premonition that something extremely important must have happened.
"Grandpa, there are still five months until the spiritual energy explodes. Those without cultivation must move immediately." Nangong Jingming stepped forward and said solemnly. His voice was low and firm, as if he was announcing a crucial news concerning life and death.
"What? Such a short time? Isn't that too rushed?" Leader Nangong frowned, a look of worry on his face. He was well aware of the power of a spiritual energy explosion and understood that relocating a large number of ordinary people in such a short period of time was a difficult task, fraught with numerous difficulties and challenges.
"Is the news confirmed?" Leader Mu looked at Nangong Jingming sharply and asked seriously. Such important news must be accurate in order to make the right decision.
"Affirmed." Nangong Jingming nodded vigorously, his tone firm. He recounted his experiences on Nameless Island to the leaders in detail, including his interactions with the elders, the exact time of the spiritual energy explosion, and his understanding of the protective formation. After listening to this, the leaders fell into deep thought, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn.
"Okay, then, let's activate the Level 1 plan," Leader Deng said decisively after a moment's contemplation. He knew the situation was critical and that swift action was necessary to activate the most urgent response plan.
"Okay, let's start the plan immediately." The other leaders expressed their agreement, their eyes revealing firm determination.
The Flower Nation quickly issued an urgent notice to other nations through various channels. The notice explicitly stated that they had one month to leave Earth. Otherwise, once the spiritual energy erupted, there would be no chance to leave. Their fate would be their own, and the Flower Nation would bear no responsibility. This announcement was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the international community. Various nations convened urgent meetings to discuss countermeasures. Some countries quickly organized evacuations, while others hesitated, hoping for a lucky break.
"Give orders! Within three days, gather all ordinary people and prepare for the departure plan. If family members want to leave with them, their wishes will prevail." Nangong Jingming said to his secretary seriously. He knew that time was running out and he had to race against time to carry out the evacuation.
"Yes." The secretary, fully aware of the difficulty and importance of the task, immediately began issuing orders at top speed. This was a major operation; relocating so many people in a short period of time required meticulous organization and planning. Relevant departments sprang into action, establishing multiple assembly points across the country and disseminating notices through various media channels, informing the public of the time, location, and precautions for gathering. Simultaneously, a large number of transportation options, including airplanes, trains, automobiles, starships, and hovercraft, were deployed to ensure the safe transport of people to the interstellar relocation site.
