"Director!"

Yue Yuan had just arrived at the Security Department when Man Yuemei greeted him.

Man Yuemei was the deputy director of the Security Department, but since Yue Yuan was also the base director, Man Yuemei was basically in command of the Security Department.

Especially during the time when Yue Yuan returned to Earth, she was fully responsible for the Security Department's affairs. There was no problem with her ability; in fact, she could be said to be too capable.

Although Man Yuemei was a woman, she had a spirit that ordinary women did not possess. Graduating from a military academy gave her a higher starting point than ordinary soldiers, but she started as a private and advanced all the way with her own skills, being selected into a special operations force.

There, she was still very dazzling, a sharpshooter and a combat expert, with excellent military skills. Later, she was transferred to work at Callisto as a Security Department instructor and deputy director.

Yue Yuan knew that she was there for experience.

If it weren't for this great disaster, she would have been the director of Yinghuo Base and the head of the Security Department soon.

Don't be fooled by her good figure and mature appearance. Soldiers who had worked with her knew that this woman was actually a ruthless character, with a style of doing things that was somewhat unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals.

Therefore, Yue Yuan was very relieved to let her maintain order during the great relocation, but such a person was not easy to control.

Yue Yuan returned a salute and said, "Deputy Man, you've worked hard these days, but leave the next things to me. You should rest first."

Let me go back to rest?

Man Yuemei frowned upon hearing this and said, "Director Yue, you can just tell me what's going on. I guarantee I'll complete the task!"

Yue Yuan walked past her, heading towards the Security Department. Feeling her following, he said, "Deputy Man probably misunderstood me. What I mean is, you and some of the Security Department brothers should go and rest first. Leave this period to me. You can bring people to take shifts in the second half of the night. People can't work without rest. Moreover, now is a critical period, and no mistakes can be made. We can't let those with impure motives have a chance to take advantage."

"By the way, you still have to attend the meeting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. It won't look good if you fall asleep at the meeting if you don't get a good rest now," Yue Yuan added.

"That's the logic, but..."

"No buts. I wouldn't be at ease without you in the second half of the night. There were a lot of incidents during the previous great relocation. Those who wanted to do bad things were spies planted by other countries," Yue Yuan said, shaking his head secretly.

What the hell, they're still jumping out to cause trouble at a time like this, purely opposing for the sake of opposing. They really have a hole in their brains.

"Oh~~~"

Hearing Yue Yuan say this, Man Yuemei let out a long 'oh', and then repeatedly looked at the palms and backs of her hands as she walked, "This is interesting."

Uh...

Yue Yuan was stunned. He looked back at Man Yuemei, who seemed to have entered some kind of state, and said, "We don't even know if we can walk back to the surface alive. Don't create unnecessary problems."

"Director, don't worry, I know what to do." Man Yuemei seemed to not notice Yue Yuan's gaze at all, still looking at the palms and backs of her hands.

After the two arrived at the Security Department and made some arrangements, Man Yuemei went back to rest.

Yue Yuan led some of the soldiers to continue maintaining order until the second half of the night shift before going back to rest. However, he woke up again after only a few hours of sleep and hurried to the conference room.

When Yue Yuan arrived at the conference room, the conference room with three hundred people was basically full. He glanced around, and Man Yuemei had also arrived.

Gan De, Su Song, Zhao Youqin, Yu Nanfeng, Xu Zhenyi, Li Zenglu, Yi Kai, and a group of experts and doctors in the scientific field were also present, but everyone was silent, looking somewhat lifeless, as if they were still immersed in grief.

After entering the conference room, Yue Yuan rubbed his eyes to make himself more awake, and then walked to the front position, glancing at the time along the way.

7:58.

After waiting silently for two minutes, Yue Yuan immediately pressed the microphone to his mouth, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Everyone! We have gathered everyone here today not for anything else, but to discuss the issue of the survival of humanity, that is, the survival of us survivors!"

"First of all, I want to express my gratitude to the doctors in the scientific field. Without them, Callisto Base would not have been able to prepare for the disaster in advance. Secondly, I want to thank all the soldiers of the Security Department for their tireless efforts day and night to make the great relocation a complete success. At the same time, I would also like to thank the close cooperation of various departments. Without them, our large-scale machinery, engineering equipment, and life support equipment would not have been able to be successfully transported to the destination... It is their, your, and all of our joint efforts that have allowed us to survive, allowing us to exist to remember the human relatives, friends, and compatriots who have died. Now, please join me in mourning for the deceased for one minute."

After saying a series of necessary nonsense, Yue Yuan began to get to the point.

"I know that this unprovoked disaster has filled everyone's hearts with sadness and despair, but we cannot be discouraged by this, and we cannot waste our days because of this. We have survived, so we must bear the name of human beings, and we must be worthy of the tens of billions of compatriots who have died. So, how can we be worthy of them?"

Yue Yuan scanned everyone in the venue, then raised his right hand and clenched his fist, solemnly saying, "Revenge!"

In fact, Yue Yuan and everyone present did not know why the Alpha Centauri triple star and the sun had supernova explosions, but anyone who wasn't stupid knew that it definitely didn't happen naturally.

So this does not prevent Yue Yuan from using this incident to ignite the fighting spirit of the survivors.

"Revenge! No matter what happens in the future, no matter where we can go, and no matter whether we have the ability, as long as we have a breath left, we must try our best to find out the truth of this matter, and then find the aliens who destroyed us, and then erase them from this universe! Only with the blood of our enemies can we pay tribute to the heroic spirits of our tens of billions of dead compatriots! We must have revenge!!!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge, revenge, revenge!"

The conference room suddenly resounded with excited shouts, scaring Yue Yuan to quickly press his hands down to calm everyone down.

"But if we want revenge, we must first survive. And to survive, we must unite and twist ourselves into a single rope! We must unite, with one heart from top to bottom, to survive in this dangerous universe."

Speaking of unity, Yue Yuan waved his fist again: "Humans are social animals. In the cradle where we grow, people cannot survive alone without the group, let alone in the vast universe."

After a passionate opening, Yue Yuan saw that the atmosphere of the venue was completely different from before. The lifeless scene was gone, replaced by people standing tall and straight, full of energy.

Seeing this scene, Yue Yuan nodded secretly.

This is more like it. Without any drive, how can we lead the survivors through months of underground life? How can we lead the survivors to dig back to the surface?

If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. If the soldiers are weak, only one is weak; if the general is weak, the whole unit is weak. A good atmosphere must start from the top.
