Chapter 681 The price of sacrifice

The infrastructure in the Sunset Wharf area was basically destroyed by floods, and conventional communication methods were seriously affected. Meng Dongxia's "beacon" with his supernatural power once again played a big role.

With the help of the supernatural power of the "beacon", the special service team passed the latest information Yu Qingxue recovered from the remaining consciousness of the deceased to the security bureau.

After Claire, who stayed behind at the Security Bureau, understood their needs, she immediately began to use all available resources to find equipment that could meet this special mission.

Through the dedicated line network of the Security Bureau's light system, Claire sent a message for help to all departments, institutions and companies throughout the Fuxing City that might provide help.

Within 10 minutes after the request for help was sent out, the Starzhou City Security Bureau welcomed five of the twelve supreme arbitrators of the Iron Dome Council.

The five supreme arbiters, wearing masks with symbols symbolizing "goodness", "diligence", "eternity", "lawfulness" and "brilliance" respectively, directly visited the General Administration of Security. In the "Emergency Strategic Countermeasures" of the General Administration

Center" met with An Zhitian and other leaders responsible for the Iron Dome order and security field.

"At all costs, we must save Qidao City from danger. This is the order we adhere to." The supreme arbiter "Brilliant" issued a cold, mechanical electronic synthesized voice from under his mask.

Subsequently, the "Lawful" Arbitrator also stepped forward to express his position: "Are the space transfer superpowers in place? If the preparations are complete, I will go there personally to suppress the evil."

The three people behind him, "Goodness", "Diligence", and "Eternity", all echoed in unison: "We are all willing to go together."

An Zhitian stood at the end of the long conference table in the countermeasure center with his hands clasped and his head slightly bowed in contemplation. The female clerk behind him used a laser pointer to activate the three-dimensional projection above the conference table. The three-dimensional projection showed the geography of Qidao City.

The model and the avatar Yi Guang were on the side responsible for the explanation.

"Arbitrators, please calm down. There is currently no one with space transfer abilities among the commissioners at the General Administration Headquarters. The recruitment order has been issued, but there has been no response yet." Yi Guang first explained that he could not immediately teleport everyone to Qidao City.

reason.

"In addition, considering that the risks on the front line are extremely high, it is recommended that the arbitrators stay here and wait for the results. Please also give us the commissioners of Qidao City a little patience and confidence."

Except for the leader "Brilliant" who remained silent, the other arbitrators exchanged glances with each other.

"Unfortunately, although we also want to give the young people of Qidao City some patience and confidence, time no longer allows." The "lawful" arbitrator who seemed to be elected by his companions as the representative of opinions said.

Before he finished speaking, the "Brilliant" Arbitrator standing at the front also expressed his position in a cold and mechanical electronic synthesized voice: "Once the second wave of tsunami occurs, the decades of construction achievements of the Fourth Renaissance City will be lost.

existence, this will become the greatest tragedy in the history of the Iron Dome era, and we have an obligation to do everything we can to prevent it from happening."

"The frontline commissioners have found a breakthrough to solve the problem, and now they need the support of equipment." Yi Guang used both hands to enlarge the Qidao City model on the virtual projection, and zoomed in directly to the Sunset Pier.

The real-time model produced by super computers and precise calculations combined with data perfectly restored the current situation of the Sunset Pier just like on-site photography. Yi Guang marked the nearly 200-meter-deep continental shelf on the projection model, as well as the "disaster-level" superpower

The approximate range in which the person is located.

"I see, do the commissioners of Qidao City want to use diving equipment and underwater explosives?" The arbitrators who already understood the situation nodded slightly.

"It is not difficult to meet this requirement with the material resources of the entire Iron Dome world, but how to get these into the hands of frontline commissioners?" an arbitrator asked.

This time it was An Zhitian who answered: "The light particle transmission device can still operate normally. We have the positioning coordinates of the terminal. It is not a problem to establish chain transmission with the specialists there."

"So everything is ready?"

"The diving equipment is ready. It is the 'Underwater Walker' special exoskeleton armor developed by ZEUS Military Technology Group in St. Newman City."

"Brilliant" the arbiter nodded with satisfaction: "So there is still a lack of suitable underwater bombs, right?"

An Zhitian replied: "We are in contact with the military and strive to select the appropriate type of bomb as soon as possible."

"Is there anything left to hesitate? Can't we just use the most powerful depth charge?" asked the arbitrator wearing a mask symbolizing "eternity".

"The NU2 refined underwater bomb currently held by the National Defense Force is too powerful and may pose a threat to the specialists on site..." Yi Guangxin picked up a bomb of the model she described and threw it on the seabed on the virtual projection model.

Demonstrated the scene of the entire Sunset Pier and surrounding areas being destroyed after the explosion.

The Supreme Arbitrators raised their heads and stared at this scene. The "Brilliant" Arbitrator then spoke: "Compared to losing the entire Fourth Renaissance City, this price is affordable. There is no need to delay any longer, and immediately send bombs and diving equipment to the front line.

In the hands of the commissioner.”

"But the consequences of the explosion are not just that. After the seabed is destroyed, it may also cause the old city of Qidao City..." Yiguang added worriedly.

"The old city is the product of the wrong development route and should be eliminated by history. Besides, hasn't the Qidao City Administration Bureau already mobilized and evacuated people? Letting bombs destroy the old city is killing two birds with one stone."

The security bureau personnel behind An Zhitian all changed their minds after hearing the "eternal" arbitrator's violent remarks. Some people argued rationally: "The infrastructure in the old city has long been severely damaged by natural disasters. The city hall mobilized

The efficiency of evacuation may not be very high. Moreover, the old city hosts more than 40% of the population of the Fourth Renaissance City. After the destruction, this group of people will be displaced."

"There is nothing you can do about it. Just accept it as a natural choice of survival of the fittest." The "eternal" arbiter, who was completely unaware that he had provoked public anger, or that he did not bother to consider other people's ideas, said with his usual ruthlessness.

An Zhitian, caught in the middle, remained expressionless, neither supporting his subordinates nor echoing the arbitrator's remarks.

"Director An, please make a decision quickly. The survival of the Fourth Renaissance City and the lives and deaths of millions of people cannot be delayed." The arbitrators seemed to have reached a consensus and insisted on using the bomb that was powerful enough to destroy the old city.

Only then did An Zhitian raise his head and look squarely at the five supreme arbiters.

"The mission of the Security Bureau is to protect the safety of the revitalized city and its citizens. I agree that appropriate sacrifices are sometimes necessary for this. But according to the laws of the Iron Dome Order, no one has the right to force others to make sacrifices." An Zhitian said in a low voice.

Said, "If the commissioners on site do not agree to use this kind of bomb, the security bureau will not force them."

"Director An, does it make sense to insist on these false things until now? Compared to the entire Qidao City and tens of millions of citizens..."

An Zhitian interrupted him angrily: "Of course it makes sense! Because this is the background given to us by the Iron Dome Order! It is the superstructure of our era! If these are shaken, it is foreseeable that far more than just a rejuvenating city will be sacrificed in the future
