Chapter 1183: All Things Proceeding Smoothly (II)
“Let’s do this one step at a time, we’re in no hurry,” Li Hao declared after a long while. “The warships are too small, so we’ll use the ancient cities. We can use Boundless! Boundless can hold one hundred million at full capacity. We’ll tell the people not to bring anything other than food and drink. They will only need to leave their homes for ten days at most...”
“My lord!”
“This... this is too much of a hassle and it’s not that easy to corral people.”
“That’s right!” Many protested as they felt this undertaking was too much. Not to mention, what of the rest after Boundless took in one or even two hundred million? Where would they get so many ancient cities from?
“Ah, my lord, we can use Boundless and move some of the old, infirm, women, and children into it. Cultivators won’t necessarily die from an intrusion of chaos presence.”
“Then what about a slaughter from desolate beasts?” Li Hao turned to him.
“Ah...” Director General Zhao was immensely resigned. I want to say that if that really happens, then they’re very unlucky. What else can we do about it? That’s better than evacuating one billion people.
There had not been such a large shift in population ever since Silver Moon world came to be. No matter how long it took, moving one billion people was a recipe for disaster. They were only able to have this discussion because this was a world of superhumans. If this was an ordinary world, everyone would treat Li Hao as a lunatic.
At least half would die in the migration process.
“What a pity...” sighed Director General Wang. “If the Exalted Heavenly Dog Emperor was still present, it could swallow the entire eastern continent with one gulp and store it in its stomach. Would we need to go to so much trouble then? Granted, with such a heavyweight present, we wouldn’t need to evacuate anyone then.”
This was a paradoxical statement. If there existed a powerhouse so formidable as to swallow an entire continent in one go, would there be a need to evacuate anyone?
