"Hahahaha... that really was the case." Candle Dragon laughed heartily. "This idea is genuinely too interesting!"
"Getting back to the point—what you meant just now, Sun Hang, was that rather than staking out every town and village, we should stay in Tianfu City and wait for Chimera Seventeen to come looking for us once she recovered her full strength?" Yang Qi said seriously. "But have you considered how many people would fall victim to Chimera Seventeen because of that?"
"No matter what we do, those people will die." Sun Hang shrugged. "You can have the Disaster Response Committee carry out that large-scale relocation plan, and you can organize elite hunters to stake out Chimera Seventeen... but no matter what we do, the final battlefield will most likely still be Tianfu City."
"..."
Yang Qi fell into deep thought.
"Don't you think there's a problem with what I just said?" Sun Hang suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
"Doesn't what I said contradict the question you asked me during the entry test?"
"Well..."
"I asked Pei Zongjun that question too." Sun Hang shrugged. "He told me that this was a war, and war needed decision-makers cold enough to make hard choices... and he hoped that I could become one."
"If Elder Pei said so, then there must be no problem with it." Candle Dragon spoke from the side. "Decision-makers do need to be calm enough, but that doesn't mean they completely lack humanity... quite the opposite. It is precisely because of their humanity that they make the choice that allows the greatest number of people to survive."
Before Sun Hang's vehicle even entered Lizhou City proper, they saw several armored vehicles packed with City Defense Guard soldiers driving out of the city. The lead armored vehicle stopped more than ten meters away
