Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Chapter 495: 494, Busan Bound_1
 

The news of the “Gravitational Funnel” appearing above Kyoto, Japan instantly caused a massive uproar worldwide.

From the virtual to the real world, every citizen of Blue Star was captivated by this event.

It was common knowledge that the Skuruans would soon release all 3,533 of their genetically engineered monsters.

However, the sight of this horrifying blood-red “Gravitational Funnel” above Kyoto in official footage filled everyone’s hearts with shock and despair.

Chairman Hu Jing hurriedly ended a meeting with Su Yu and others.

He returned to the capital of Huaxia Nation to record a video message addressing citizens from all over the world.

In the video, Chairman Hu Jing sat solemnly behind a large conference table, with the flags of Huaxia Nation and the United Government displayed on the wall behind him.

Interlocking his fingers, he spoke solemnly and earnestly.

“Citizens of Blue Star, I am Hu Jing, Chairman of the United Government. Our world is currently facing a grave crisis,” he said.

“A month ago, the Skuruans used the energy from various Spiritual Spring Eyes to create monsters, finally producing 3,533 monsters, and today, they released all of them in Kyoto, Japan.”

“Without intervention, these more than three thousand monsters will ravage the entire continent, resulting in the complete destruction of humanity!”

He paused momentarily, inserting a roughly 5-second clip showing Kyoto, Japan being overrun and devastated by innumerable monsters into the video.

After about 10 seconds, the footage returned to Chairman Hu Jing, who continued to speak to the camera:

“This is a great catastrophe, and also, our first battle against the Skuruans!”

“I hereby declare all major war zones under the United Government to be on first alert. We are dedicated to exterminating all monsters, to thwart the Skuruan plot!”

…

This video was quickly disseminated across the internet.

Upon seeing the Chairman’s declaration, most citizens felt comforted, as if they had taken a tranquilizer. They quietly prayed for victory in this war.

At the same time, military forces around the world were placed on alert. Countless fighter jets took off from military bases globally, converging towards Huaxia Nation.

The world’s intercontinental ballistic missiles also targeted Japan, awaiting launch orders.

However, Chairman Hu Jing did not hastily give the order to launch these nuclear missiles.

The monsters were now mixed among the most populated areas in Japan, which had one of the highest population densities in the world with 130 million people living on four islands.

To kill all the monsters would require at least 6,000 one-megaton nuclear bombs. In comparison, the two nuclear bombs, “Fat Man” and “Little Boy,” that struck Japan in the past only had a combined yield of about 20 kilotons.

6,000 nuclear bombs would be enough to erase Japan from the map, and none of the 130 million island inhabitants would survive.

So, unless it was absolutely necessary, Chairman Hu Jing would not use nuclear bombs recklessly.

…

…

As for Su Yu.

After the meeting, he discussed with Commissioner Zhang and others and decided to go to a specific location.

That place was Busan – the second largest city in Goryeo.

A bright silver teleportation circle opened up in front of the relevant department building. Under the watchful eyes of the department colleagues, Su Yu activated the teleportation circle, leaving East Sea City with Elder Tao, Commissioner Zhang, Zhong Feng and Xue Wenli.

The next second, the teleportation circle appeared on the southeast coast of Busan. The group materialized on the sandy beach.

Busan, located in the southeast corner of Goryeo, was the city closest to Japan.

To the southeast of Busan lay the Korean Strait and the Tsushima Strait. Crossing these two straits and covering a distance of just 200 kilometers would bring you to Fukuoka County in Japan.

According to Su Yu’s estimation, it is highly likely that the swarm of monsters would attack Busan once they destroy Japan.

Hence, this was the frontline for defending against the monstrous creatures.

…

Standing on the shoreline of Busan, the group, as if by a tacit understanding, looked towards Kyoto, Japan from the eastward direction.

Even though they were too far away to see or perceive the tragedy occurring in Japan, they could all sense the storm was coming.

After a few seconds, Commissioner Zhang threw a “3D Projection Positioning Disk” onto the sandy beach and dialed Chairman Hu Jing’s direct line on his phone.

About a minute later, the 3D Projection Device emitted a blinding flash of light, and Chairman Hu Jing’s 3D projection appeared above the positioning disk.

The Chairman had been extremely occupied until now when he finally got a moment to breathe.

As he appeared, he turned to survey the surrounding environment and then asked, “Is this Busan?”

“Indeed,” replied Commissioner Zhang.

“Very good.” Chairman Hu Jing nodded, his face gravely serious. “We must build the first defensive line here and on Tsushima Island to the southeast and the second one inside our country.”

“Of course, we cannot rely entirely on the second defensive line. It would be best if we could eliminate all monsters at the first line!”

“No problem.” Commissioner Zhang responded. “We will start building the first defensive line right away… but what if the monsters intend to bypass the defense line and enter the Asian continent via the East Sea or Hokkaido?”

Although he already had an answer in mind—barrage them with nuclear bombs to force the monsters to choose the path through Busan—Commissioner Zhang could only ask as the power to make decisions regarding the war rested in the hands of Chairman Hu Jing.

“Don’t worry about that.” Chairman Hu Jing answered earnestly. “If the monsters attempt to cross the sea from other areas, we will use nuclear bombs to force them onto this route… Right now, time is of the essence. We should summarise the resources at our disposal in order to make strategic war deployments.”

“Understood,” Commissioner Zhang and the others replied simultaneously.

“First of all,” Chairman Hu Jing turned to Su Yu, “Su Yu, what resources are available within the ‘Evolution’ game that can help us to win this battle?”

“Well,” after a moment’s thought, Su Yu replied, “There aren’t many game resources that can aid us in reality. Apart from Cat Morning Star and Tina, it mainly includes various plant seeds and five camps.”

“As of now, the number of golden seeds cultivated inside the game has reached close to 200,000. Planting these on Busan and Tsushima Island can significantly slow down the monsters’ advancement.”

“As for the five camps, if we can exchange a large number of fifth-level troops from them, we’ll be able to withstand the monsters’ offensive on the warfront.”

“Um.” Chairman Hu Jing nodded and looked at Xue Wenli. “Wenli, you and your colleagues in the department should hurry up and plant the 200,000 plants in Busan, Tsushima Island, and the waters in between. We’re strapped for time, so just plant as many as you can.”

“Understood!” Xue Wenli immediately responded.

“Next up, Zhong Feng.” He turned to Zhong Feng. “I will contact the National Treasury shortly to exchange 2,000 level-five Warcraft troops with their reserved gold. You will be in charge of controlling these troops.”

“Alright!” Zhong Feng also responded promptly.
