"Can you please tell us how you're planning to move the people to the land? Not only is the city surrounded by seawater, the streets are flooded too," Chu Mingxi of the Hongling Division asked.
"Look at this topographic map. There are a total of three hubs on Xiamen Island that lead to the mainland. They are these three bridges: Haicang, Xinglin, and Jimei. The city's three bus rapid transit viaducts pass through these three bridges to enter the island and intersect within the city. The Haicang route runs from west to east, crossing Xiamen Island horizontally. The Xinglin and Jimei routes will go from north to south, crossing the irregular Xiamen Island … "Zhuang Hong opened up a waterproof map.
The map was huge. The routes of the city's bus rapid transit viaducts were drawn with eye-catching green dots.
Mo Fan went closer to take a look. He noticed one of the BRT routes was horizontally, while the other two were vertically. Even though they did not cover the entire city, they covered most of the streets, ensuring that the streets were not too far away from the BRT stations.
"These three routes are our lifelines. We will move the people trapped in the buildings, the mountains, or the floating objects to the bus rapid transit viaducts within seven hours," Zhuang Hong said.
Mo Fan took a closer look. In other words, the people only needed to follow the bus rapid transit viaducts in three different directions to reach the three bridges. Once they crossed the three bridges, they would be connected to the land. It was a safe transfer.
"It seems like the government has a clear idea. I was wondering if we could use this route to move the people," Ling Ling whispered into Mo Fan's ear.
"Mm, these three routes are indeed the best way to move the people. Some of the BRT bridges are over twenty meters tall, and the bridges are thick and sturdy. Ordinary sea monsters will have a hard time destroying them. If we can clear the roads, we should be able to move everyone in eight hours," Mo Fan nodded.
"We've already sent out our men. They will transport the people hiding in the buildings to the three lifelines. Therefore, please ensure the success of our plan. Report the species of the sea monsters, their locations, and their numbers in a timely manner. Help us clear the obstacles in the three lifelines and eliminate the powerful sea monsters that might threaten the three lifelines!" Zhuang Hong said sternly.
The South Wing Platoon, the Hongling Division, and the Qinling Division were aware of the mission. The three leaders, Mubai, Chu Mingxi, and Zhang Xiaohou, had stern looks on their faces. They were aware of how difficult the mission was!
"We'll be in charge of the Haicang Route," Chu Mingxi of the Hongling Division said.
"Then we'll be in charge of the Xinglin Route," Mubai said on behalf of the South Wing Platoon.
"The Qinling Division will be in charge of the Jimei Route," Zhang Xiaohou said.
The three organizations accepted the order and quickly began their deployment. The three BRT lines ran through Xiamen from the land through three bridges, which meant that their total length was more than ten kilometers. It was impossible to ensure that such a long line would be unimpeded without making arrangements in advance.
Time did not allow them to stay any longer. The three representatives started making their moves.
"Hey, what should I do then?" Mo Fan was having a headache when he saw the others leaving. He did not seem to be representing any organization. Even though he had come with Mubai and Zhang Xiaohou, they had all been assigned specific tasks. He was unsure what to do.
"Who is he?" Zhuang Hong put the map away and looked at Shen Qing in confusion.
"He's a freelance hunter," Shen Qing said.
"If you want to help, you can be Shen Qing's assistant. Her job is to search for people who are in danger …" Zhuang Hong did not know Mo Fan, so he quickly left with his men after giving the order.
Mo Fan was astounded when he saw the others leaving in a hurry.
"Green Tea, Monkey, let me know if there's anything you can't handle," Mo Fan yelled at the two who had already gone downstairs.
"Not a problem."
"Got it, Brother Fan!"
The two were in charge of a team. They did not have the time to think like Mo Fan.
Mo Fan looked at Ling Ling. Ling Ling stared back at him.
"I wonder where Jiang Shaoxu and Bai Hongfei are … Forget it, with their strength, they should be able to handle the sea monsters that have just arrived," Mo Fan murmured to himself.
"Why don't you follow me for now? We can search for the sea monsters in the city while searching for them. Someone will have to compile the information and report it to the higher-ups, "Shen Qing said to Mo Fan.
"Isn't that a little overkill?" Mo Fan rubbed his temples. He could not help but feel a sense of justice when he saw the others acting like they were in a race with the Grim Reaper. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to do something big, but he could not help but feel troubled when he heard Shen Qing's arrangement. Wasn't she using a general on the battlefield to scout for information?
"Information is more important than strength. Mo Fan, we don't have anything else to do. Let's just follow Shen Qing," Ling Ling said.
Mo Fan hesitated for a moment.
Ling Ling added, "There will always be some dangerous creatures roaming around the city. We can kill them if we see them."
"Fishing? Mm, that's not a bad idea!" Mo Fan gladly accepted the suggestion.
Shen Qing glanced at Mo Fan. She did not understand the difference between the two statements.
…
When they arrived at the temporary shelter, the girl called Fang Xiaoxue ran to Shen Qing with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"My mother isn't here. I've searched all the floors and asked the staff. She must not have made it here in time. Sister, you have to help me. Save my mother. She … she can't see anything if no one helps her, "Fang Xiaoxue said with tears in her eyes.
Most of the people nearby had been arranged to stay in the hotel, but there must be some people who did not evacuate here for some reason.
"Where is your mother? Is she at home?" Shen Qing asked patiently.
"In Tiancheng Community," Fang Xiaoxue said.
"I've just received a mission. I have to go to SM Plaza and transfer everyone there to the Xinglin BRT line. The place you mentioned is very close to SM Plaza, but you have to find a way to bring your mother to this plaza. Then, I'll bring all of you away," Shen Qing said.
"Mm, mm, okay!" Fang Xiaoxue's eyes lit up when she heard there was hope.
Shen Qing glanced at Mo Fan. When she was about to go to the commercial plaza, she saw Mo Fan standing there.
"Aren't you going?"
"The plaza you mentioned sells candles and whips … Oh, Ling Ling, why did you step on me again?" Mo Fan shouted.
