Chapter 672 The Person Who Can Make Huayuan Emperor Monarch Feel At Ease
As for directly making the information public, striving to protect everyone is also not very realistic.
How many people are there in Eastern Capital City?
Several billion!
Most of them are working professionals, as well as Low Level professionals below Rank Four.
Transporting so many people is a huge project.
Even teleportation arrays are out of the question; overloading them won't even transport one percent.
Spaceships and other aircraft cannot achieve such a large passenger capacity in a short time.
Letting them walk on their own is even more unrealistic.
Not to mention that it's very dangerous for Low Level professionals in the wilderness, as they could be attacked by wild monsters and outdoor bosses.
Even if a clear path is opened in advance, they still can't walk out of Eastern Capital City at their speed.
Not abandoning or giving up, striving to rescue every person, the ultimate result can only be that no one can be saved!
How should one choose?
In the heart of Dongfang Xi, it felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been placed.
"I would rather not have received your message or come to Eastern Capital City."
She stared at Chen Yu with resentment in her eyes.
"I do have a few good suggestions," Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Go on!" Dongfang Xi glared at Chen Yu, speaking impatiently.
"First," Chen Yu raised a finger, "report it."
"Report it?" Dongfang Xi was puzzled.
She is the pillar of the Soaring Dragon Empire, where else could she report such matters?
Report to the Great Xia in the Heavenly Origin World?
Great Xia should have means to deal with such crises, and she could even seek help from the higher gods of Great Xia.
But Great Xia is unlikely to dispatch higher gods to do something so meaningless.
It may be cruel, but that's the reality.
With the scale of Great Xia, the death of several billion ordinary people in its jurisdiction is not a significant event worth attention.
At most, it's like someone being hit by a car on Earth.
Would the central government close traffic or send troops to protect everyone just because someone is hit by a car every day?
That's obviously impossible!
At most, they would strengthen safety awareness after the fact and urge everyone to prevent accidents.
Seeing Dongfang Xi not catching on, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows and asked maliciously:
"Miss Dongfang, I have to ask you a question, are you the Soaring Dragon Great Emperor?"
Dongfang Xi suddenly realized.
Pass the buck!
Although she is the strongest on Blue Star and the pillar of the Soaring Dragon Empire, she has no responsibility for local governance and disaster prevention.
As long as she reports to the Soaring Dragon Great Emperor, she can wash her hands of it.
No matter how the Soaring Dragon Great Emperor decides, no one can blame her.
She can't make decisions on such a large-scale disaster, so it's normal not to make any decisions!
But then her expression turned bitter.
Now, the problem is not about assigning blame but about solving the event!
Even if reported to the Soaring Dragon Great Emperor, she cannot escape her current embarrassment.
And because of her identity and duties, she is even more troubled than anyone else.
"You're just saying the obvious, aren't you?" Dongfang Xi shook her head. "Reporting is necessary, but reporting also needs to solve the problem!"
"So, what do you suggest?" Chen Yu smiled mischievously again.
"What bad idea do you have this time?" Dongfang Xi looked at him warily.
"How can you call it a bad idea? This is a good idea to deal with the current situation!" Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Announce the information directly, then declare that everyone should unite and work together to face the disaster."
Dongfang Xi pondered for a moment, then her expression changed slightly.
"Does this finally meet your approval?" Chen Yu lightly raised his index finger. "Look..."
"With the empire united, working together to rescue the people and face the disaster, isn't this the situation everyone wants to see?"
"Hiss..." Dongfang Xi took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
What Chen Yu said indeed was the most suitable solution for the current situation.
By openly disclosing the disaster, making every effort to rescue the people, as many as possible could be saved.
As for those who couldn't be saved in time, they would have to rely on their own luck.
In this way, even if there were some losses, the empire's reputation would not be tarnished; instead, it would be recognized by the majority.
Because the empire had made an effort.
And indeed, a group of people had been saved.
Another benefit of this approach is that the most essential parts of Eastern Capital City would undoubtedly be preserved.
After all, once the strong and wealthy receive the news, they would undoubtedly be the first to flee, without a doubt.
During this process, most of the resources of Eastern Capital City could be safely evacuated.
Dongfang Xi knew that in the absence of other options, even if all the demigods of the empire gathered to discuss, there was only this one path to take.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Yu suddenly laughed.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"Have you ever considered that this might be my class transfer mission?"
"You..." Dongfang Xi was stunned for a moment, then realized,
"Do you have a way to deal with it?"
"Since it's my class transfer mission, of course, I will take action," Chen Yu said with a smile. "Do you think I would fail the mission?"
In fact, he could also let it be, as long as he took the backdoor of the Heavenly Emperor Elf and let her complete it directly.
However.
Chen Yu believed that his mid-tier god, the Jade Angel, should be able to handle such a small matter; there was no need to involve the Level 200 Overlord.
"Phew..."
Dongfang Xi patted her chest, taking a deep breath.
As long as Chen Yu was willing to take action, no problem would be insurmountable.
"Wait, when did I adopt this kind of attitude?"
Suddenly, Dongfang Xi felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Once, she was the strongest in the Blue Star world, the anchor of the Soaring Dragon Empire.
Even if the sky collapsed, she would hold it up with one arm.
And now, subconsciously, she felt that Chen Yu was someone she could absolutely rely on, and as long as he took action, no problem would be a problem.
"Am I getting old? Falling behind the times?" Dongfang Xi self-mockingly thought.
"But it feels quite nice to have someone to rely on."
"It's too tiring to carry everything on my own."
Chen Yu stood up and said to the absent-minded Dongfang Xi,
"Don't be discouraged. I didn't call you here just to tease you."
"I can intercept the biggest danger, but I can't guarantee the safety of the entire Eastern Capital City."
"How to organize Eastern Capital City to deal with possible secondary disasters and protect the lives and property of the people as much as possible is your responsibility."
"I don't have that ability, nor that duty."
"Perfect, the Heavenly Emperor is upstairs; go talk to him, and I won't cause you any more trouble."
"Let's go! Let's have dinner together tonight!"
