Because she knew the operation mode of the conquest of Bay City very well, and because of this, she was sure that unless her mother immediately turned against everyone and revealed her "true face and true purpose", it would only benefit the lower-level areas in the short term, instead of causing many people in the upper level to be displaced.
In order to allow the Silvermane Guard to travel further away from safe areas and into the Rift when they are on expeditions... the Grand Guardian has issued an emergency levy law, and on the official side, in order to prevent the impact from expanding, the Jeppard tribe has not yet been disbanded.
Use the influence of the Jeppard tribe to increase the delivery of the lower-level earth marrow, obtain materials to train lower-level auxiliary personnel and soldiers, and ultimately complete the reintegration of the upper and lower levels in another sense.
After listening to Bronya and Natasha's earnest explanation, Swarovski pondered for a moment and turned to Sora, as if he still wanted to find out some purpose from him.
But Sora was already immersed in playing with Clara and Paimon. It seemed that he felt a little sorry for making the little girl cry, and he didn't care at all about how their conversation went.
"This plan is rather crude and must be implemented on the assumption that the Great Guardian is still conscious."
Seeing that Sora had no intention of looking up, Swarovski gave up observing him and responded, "Without considering external variables, the survival probability increases by 1.5%, which lasts for about 150 years... Conclusion, it is feasible."
219. Girls' Night Talk
Everyone in Beloberg understood that if they only relied on local forces without considering the intervention of outsiders, the 1.5% survival rate was so low that it was hopeless. Only Svaro would actively consider the possibility that the Nameless Guest would not participate in the subsequent struggle.
“What if we take into account extraneous variables?”
Xier's ears were almost callused from listening to his words - she was not good at math, but she did have some mathematical common sense that investing manpower and resources could increase the probability of survival.
This is also thanks to the teachings of Natasha and Oleg - she understood that the numbers achieved through unity would be greater, and that was enough.
"Although the Nameless Guests may not necessarily resort to force in their fight against Cocolia, they have already affected Beloberg's situation. You need to correct your calculations," Natasha said calmly.
"Yes, no matter what, you shouldn't exclude them from your calculations, even if someone always pretends to be very clean - humph."
Xi'er followed up, glancing at Sora with amusement.
"…Regarding the experience of the Nameless Guest using force in the lower district, I need to invest in cases and data to strengthen the calculations. I am willing to accept the result of my defeat, but I still have doubts about whether the Nameless Guest can act in accordance with the best logic of Beloberg's protection."
"When they were driven away by the Great Guardian, they only attacked the Rift Creatures that invaded the city, and did not retaliate against the residents and the Iron Guards."
Bronya quickly proved.
"The fight with those wanderers was also entrusted by me. If this is not considered to cater to the locals of Beloberg, I can't think of anyone else in outer space who will accommodate us." Natasha also chimed in.
"The input model is reasonable. We are recalculating and supplementing the giant robot data and the combat power data of the nameless guest Destiny Walker. The probability of survival is 57%."
"I thought it was 100 percent."
Xiao Sanyue put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't worry. Although Kong and Danheng always hope to have less trouble and stay out of trouble, I have long seen through their sharp tongues but soft hearts! We will definitely do our best to protect them!"
"Sanyue...you are forcing the job on us." Dan Heng held his forehead and said.
"Eh? Really? Hey, let's have another vote! Should we further help the residents of Beloberg—"
Xiao Sanyue could actually see that everyone wanted to find some suitable reasons to help the poor people at the bottom of the society. Especially after seeing Clara and the shivering homeless people she protected, even Danheng's brows softened a lot.
Then let me help them strengthen their faith! Even if they are blamed for being too naive and not thinking about their companions... this is the privilege of a beautiful girl! Yes, it is a privilege!
She stretched out her hand and placed it in the middle of the team, and after hesitating for a while, Youla and Danheng also stretched out their hands.
Sora straightened up and put his hand on Paimon's hand, earning a roll of the eyes from Paimon.
The students and Befa would naturally follow Sora's needs, but this time even Haiya put a hand up.
This made them take a second look at this colleague who always seemed to be "self-righteous".
"Forget it, just accompany the young people." Heita, who had been complaining in the public channel about Kong not taking him to play, suddenly voted from a distance.
"Heita, sometimes I really don't know whether you want to pretend to be mature or young... Anyway, is this the deal?"
After Eula finished her complaints, everyone raised their hands high.
I'm so envious, I really want to join in.
Not only Bronya, but also Seele likes the good internal atmosphere of the train set.
"After discussion, we have decided that we will participate in all activities until the overthrow of Cocolia, including helping to build the core channel and the trade between the upper and lower levels. However, there is something I need to inform you about."
Kong informed the leaders of Bay City present that he had invited people in advance.
"I called these people here to provide a backup plan... The worst-case scenario is that everyone evacuates Beloberg. We should save as many people as possible, but don't be blindly optimistic. If things get out of control, we still have to ensure a corridor for transporting civilians."
Sora looked a little serious, and turned his gaze back to the soldiers and workers who were still lining up behind him: "We'll talk as we go... Let's prepare a place for your people to rest first... Oh, by the way, Gustav, we have to recycle--"
……
While chatting, Sora led the Iron Guards and Earthfire into the mechanical settlement, preparing to discuss further and let the Iron Guards take a temporary rest. When Sora looked at the time, he found that it was already three o'clock in the morning.
The scheduled rest schedule was completely scrapped and had to be replanned, but fortunately everyone was in high spirits. Even Xiao Sanyue, who got up the earliest, was still curiously looking at the area with snow, which was similar to the world on the ground.
Everyone unanimously decided to wait underground until dawn, and then be taken back in batches by the air force to take turns to rest. Otherwise, if too many people went back at once, it would be noisy and easily wake up Pam, Jizi and the others.
The girls who were camping in the "wild" seemed very excited. They used the pointed tents provided by Swarovski and unexpectedly discovered that with the heating of the earth marrow stove, this form of warmth was very similar to the camping equipment of the yurt plus sleeping bags, and was barely comfortable.
"Swarovski may sound tough, but he is actually quite caring towards these residents, right?"
Lying in the sleeping bag, the excitement on Sanyue's face had not completely dissipated: "Could he actually have feelings...otherwise he wouldn't have adopted Clara--"
"It may not be that they have emotions. I have never seen a robot that looks particularly 'alive' except for ScrewGum."
Haiya, who slept in the same tent with Sanyue, curled up in her sleeping bag and felt the heat of the fire. She said lazily, "I think it was Clara's personality model that changed Swarlow. The factors that change AI models are similar to those of humans. In addition to the environment, there are also factors of people around. Every day, he faces the countless thanks from the residents in the settlement and Clara's "sir" - maybe his behavior logic has also been infected with and learned some human nature, but it doesn't mean that he really has human nature."
"...Sister Haiya, you've become quite talkative today..."
Xiao Sanyue has become accustomed to Haiya's behavior of pouring cold water on her from time to time.
But today Haiya is exceptionally active, and not just because of the warming environment.
“Because I am getting closer and closer to my goal.”
Haiya slightly turned sideways, and under Asuna's equally curious gaze - a circle of girls formed a wonderful camping combination, with bright eyes flashing around the stove.
"The doctor has promised many things and kept them all, but he has never made any decision about 'accompanying me'. This passport will determine that I will be the first woman to be qualified to accompany him for a long time."
"...Ah, this..." Although Sanyue didn't know what heavy girl meant, she felt a little heavy for Kong through Quetzalcoatl's twisted love.
"That's right. Quetzalcoatl's love is so heavy. Little Sanyue, you may think I'm unreasonable, but look at Bingliangliang - we both arrived here with the same mentality. Whether he was playing with that little stationmaster or the Black Tower, or he was playing emotional games with those new girls he met in Beloberg, we didn't care much, because not every woman has the opportunity to get this kind of long-term companionship."
From hearing you talk about it so clearly, it seems like you care about it quite a lot, doesn't it?
Cold sweat broke out on San Yueqi's forehead.
She likes Kong very much, but compared with Haiyayoula, Sanyue suddenly finds that she seems to be missing the key link of "jealousy".
But she didn't know whether this vague feeling of affection should develop to the level of the two "seniors" - she felt that she was very comfortable now.
"...In short, she was gloating over the fact that she was the first person to cross the world and kiss Sora."
Eula couldn't hear Sanyue's tangled voice, and turned over sullenly: "Sanyue, don't ask anymore, I don't want to hear Fatty Snake bragging endlessly."
"I have to thank you for this qualification, Bingliangliang. One thing is one thing, and when it's your turn to get your passport, I will do more to repay you - there will be no story of the farmer and the snake." But Haiya was sincere for once.
"...Oh." Although Eula seemed to be uninterested, she did not mock Haiya.
She thought of Amber and Noelle, with whom she had traveled for a while, Yunjin Xiangling, and Mona, who had finally gotten rid of the financial crisis.
In terms of love, she is confident that she is not inferior to any of them, but if they never have the chance to be called in this life... Even if she gets a passport, how can she face these friends when traveling? How should she report Kong's situation at the annual meeting?
After all, that was the annual meeting organized with him as the core. Although it is now presided over by the Four Gods, it is hard to say that the annual meeting will lose its original meaning after Kong has been missing for too long.
"When I came here, there were many people who wanted to accompany him for a long time like this, but there was only one chance and quota. When we got here, we had to compete for the priority of applying for passports... Alas."
She closed her eyes, and the shadow of Sora's smile began to overlap with those of her besties in her mind.
She would occasionally think of some absurd things that happened in the Dust Song Pot, like the time when both Qin and she were asked out, and Baalzebul and her general... Everyone got along so well that it was as if they had never thought that Kong would suddenly disappear one day.
"Long-term companionship?"
When Yura sighed, Asuna's eyes began to drift towards the central pillar of the tent, and her yearning voice brought Yura back to her senses from her melancholy.
"When it comes to how much you like your teacher, Karin, who do you think ranks first among Kivotos?"
"I can't answer this kind of question, Senior."
"If you asked me before, I might have said Shirako, Wakamo or Haruna. When it comes to my determination to give up everything to catch up, I can't compare to Shirako, and when it comes to my strong desire to get married, I can't compare to Wakamo. I just want to stay by the teacher's side - I want to experience that kind of pure, carefree happiness. Only the teacher can give me this kind of happiness."
Then the big golden-haired beast turned sideways in the direction of Hua Lin, revealing its big white teeth, which gleamed brightly in the dim light of the earth marrow furnace:
"In terms of perseverance, I'm not as strong as President Yang Na - but this is the value of luck. We are lucky, right?"
It sounded like she was asking and answering her own questions, but after hearing Asuna's self-questioning and answering, Eula shuddered slightly.
Could this child be helping me calm down?
"Yes, Senior's luck is really unreasonable. Even I have benefited from it——"
"...There are still many interesting things waiting for us tomorrow! Regain your energy! It's time to go!"
"Wow, I can't sleep anymore now that you've said that!"
……
Holding a can of beer, Kong sat on the radiator of the Svaro Mansion, admiring the unnatural and desolate scenery of the rift valley and the mine from the best angle of the former site of the Furnace Core Research Station.
There was no such thing as a bitter wine that made one's heart ache. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Even if an accident occurred, it was quickly resolved. For him, the ups and downs of this time-travel life were basically the same as his daily routine. Compared to the headache of hearing that a certain front was completely wiped out today and the earth was bombed tomorrow, it was still within his tolerance range.
"This scenery is so desolate, what's so good about it?"
But when Xier's voice, which was somewhat impatient, sounded from the back of his head, Kong knew that he would have company again tonight.
It was true that he had arranged everyone's camping arrangements and escaped paying grain for a day... As a cadre of the Earth and Fire Department, it was obviously impossible for Xier to be managed by him. Although she was out on patrol, there was nothing inappropriate about her patrolling on the roof.
"Isn't it because I can't leave Paimon's bedroom so far that I can only sit here and enjoy the view?"
"You're not going to join the discussion?"
Standing behind Kong, Xier didn't sit down to chat with him. She seemed to enjoy the "sense of trust" that Kong exposed his back to her without any defense.
You have to know that Xi'er has a bad reputation. Not to mention outsiders and thieves, even her own people are afraid of her. However, Kong has given her a sense of defenselessness since they met, as if they have known each other for many years and don't need to be wary of each other——
Kong just didn't think it was that complicated. He did a lot of things out of experience and instinct - including the concept that "Xi'er would never hurt him", which he had developed on the ship and continued to this world.
"The part I'm responsible for has already been discussed. In addition to providing auxiliary armaments, I will also provide you with a way out. Now we should be discussing where to place the wounded Iron Guards—"
As if to confirm Sora's words, Seele heard Natasha and Bronya's discussion from the open window of the mansion: "The area near Rivet Town is no longer suitable for accommodating the wounded. Even if you build a frontline base there, you may need to move again. Choose from several large mining towns nearby. Although Panyan is short of housing now, we can spread the wounded to various hotels and add beds. The landlady of Goethe has tasted the sweetness this time and asked me several times whether I want to renew the lease."
“Will it affect the normal lives of residents?”
"No, Dihuo will pay for those hotel owners who have been guarding their ancestral businesses for a long time to be taken care of. They should also be able to do their best to help the Iron Guards. These residences are also close to my clinic. If there are any urgent injuries, they can be sent to me."
220. Xier A went up!
