Chapter 94: Chapter 93: Schrödinger · Intelligence · Roster

The sky is about to collapse, yet there’s no tall person to hold it up…

Not good at all.

Su Qiangwei’s good mood vanished instantly.

Not far away, President Huang Weiguo noticed the heavy atmosphere and immediately said, “The data provided by Ma Ran shows that the appearance of Demon Mountain, like the White Mane aliens, had no warning signs and no traceable route for interception.”

“With Earth’s current technology, we could forcibly explode it, though barely, but it is indeed possible.”

“However, doing so…”

“Would result in the death of many people.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

Demon Mountain, White Mane.

No one in the past life had ever linked these two terms together.

After all, many alien influences are as elusive as sly dragons, arriving on Earth silently, and after being defeated, they leave almost nothing useful behind.

Moreover…

The calamity of Demon Mountain brought great losses to Earth, and left severe scars.

White Mane aliens?

Their impression to Earthlings is that of cruel, cunning clowns.

Annoying, but always merely petty trouble.

Earthlings can’t scrape any benefits from the White Mane aliens, and with each of their arrivals, they cause minimal casualties, seemingly insignificant to the overall situation.

With President Huang mentioning it so casually, Ma Ran felt that the mysterious seven Demon Mountains, unsolved until the end in the past life, seemed to be revealing their truth bit by bit.

Mature wormhole jumping technology is not some cheap street vendor product!

Space transmission devices are not something every alien force can master!

Some alien colonizers navigate with fleets in the dark and boundless cosmos for decades or even centuries before finally reaching Earth.

There are also alien civilizations whose technology wasn’t mature enough, and when the invaders arrived on Earth through wormhole transitions, the pilots turned into rotten flesh, completely dead, leaving only scrapped mecha skeletons.

Such technology deliveries at your doorstep could be termed interstellar friends.

Just a pity, it only happened once before Earth’s explosion.

As for whether there is really a connection between the White Mane aliens and Demon Mountains, Ma Ran would find out in a dozen or so days.

In any case, this time, Ma Ran intends to open his eyes wide and clearly see what force is behind the Demon Mountains?

Su Qiangwei now lost her appetite: “Being able to rehearse evacuations in advance means the landing sites of the Demon Mountains have been determined, right?”

“As Ma Ran mentioned earlier, ’Liancheng’.”

“Either Liancheng County in Fujian Longyan.”

“Or, Xiangtan City in Hunan, known as Liancheng.”

While speaking, Su Qiangwei observed the expressions of everyone present.

“Oh.”

“Judging by your reactions, it should be Xiangtan, right?”

“Why not simply arrange for an evacuation?”

Have you all been dumbed down by the aliens?

Su Qiangwei opened her small mouth but swallowed the last ten words that came to mind.

She felt that in terms of emotional intelligence, she was a bit higher than Ma Ran.

Evacuating all three million people in Liancheng is indeed challenging.

But isn’t this time gained by Ma Ran’s prophecy?

There are still thirteen days left. With the organizational capabilities of the various academies and similar institutions, they could definitely evacuate all the people from Liancheng!

Usually silly and cheerful, Su Qiangwei’s performance today took everyone by surprise.

President Huang was even beginning to suspect that this young woman might have bumped her head and suddenly become enlightened.

But Ma Ran’s reaction was quite different from the others.

He looked at Su Qiangwei with satisfaction, his tone carrying a hint of gentleness: “Demon Mountain will follow the evacuating populace and change its landing coordinates.”

“If everyone is evacuated to different cities…”

“Demon Mountain will directly choose to descend upon the city with the highest population density.”

“At that point, even more people would die.”

This information was obtained by Ma Ran after exhausting his Inner Qi countless times through [Limited Foreknowledge].

Hearing this, Su Qiangwei couldn’t help but quip, “So agile…”

“How disgusting!”

Though a person’s class is judged by their opponents, the same applies to a power, yet right now…

Su Qiangwei would rather the class of Earth civilization be lower, much lower, to the point where a few dim-witted, inept aliens could come over, delivering equipment, fodder, technology, information, and experience.

But alas.

Ideals are rich and beautiful, reality is stark and bony.

The alien invaders from various forces are mostly seasoned, ruthless, and highly efficient, adept at adjusting and overcoming obstacles.

The chances of meeting foreign life forms as naive as 98725 are extremely slim.

“What I mentioned earlier is the plan to limit casualties to the minimum.”

Ma Ran’s eyes were calm as he smiled slightly, speaking leisurely, “Additionally, there’s the plan with the least economic loss and the most beneficial for the widespread of the extraordinary.”

“It’s just that, like the other six nations…”

“We too have made our own choice.”

“That’s all.”

“Rehearsing evacuations and setting up defensive arrangements are not our concerns.”

“What should be discussed now is the configuration of elite squad members tasked with the critical mission.”

Wei Zuxia nodded unconsciously, showing approval.

Su Qiangwei pondered for a moment and gave her answer: “Does that even need thinking?”

“Ma Ran and I will go together, crush them directly!”

“The two of us will penetrate deep into enemy territory and eliminate the mastermind!”

“As long as we move fast enough, maybe no one will die then!”

Ma Ran’s smile gradually stiffened.

She really dares to say that!

What kind of ridiculous lineup is this?

Earlier, I thought her intelligence came back online, beginning her metamorphosis into a Battlefield Valkyrie…

Now it seems her composure barely lasted a minute before she returned to form.

Ma Ran is evidently a strategic talent, at least in the eyes of those in the conference room, he doesn’t seem cut out for the front lines.

Not just President Huang, other attendees also believed that last time’s A3 District Nightmare incident was merely Ma Ran’s youthful fervor, impulsive actions, concealing the news, charging ahead solo.

This time letting Ma Ran enter the fray personally, is that possible?

Dreaming!

If luck ran out, and both National Guardian-level Superpower Users perished at Demon Mountain, President Huang Weiguo might be guilt-ridden enough to jump off a building on the spot.

At this moment, Old Huang’s gaze towards Su Qiangwei was very peculiar.

He began to question if his understanding of “smart” was flawed?

How exactly did this girl pass the Academic Ability test?

Wasn’t that test not easy either…

Su Qiangwei blushed under such scrutiny, defiantly arguing, “Ma Ran and I have cooperated before, and we were quite in sync!”

“Otherwise…”

“We could call over Song Chu from the Fulan Academy.”

“That guy already went through two alien incidents, and after awakening [Blood Flame], he surpassed Sister Die and Brother Guang, becoming the strongest combat power of the Fulan Academy.”

“He should count as elite, right?”
