Freeze the entire population, activate my Superman system?

Because of Ling Shuang's boiling killing intent, everyone's spine began to feel cold.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Zhang Mu quickly spoke up.

"Brother Shuang, calm down first. What you're good at, come up with a plan, and we'll discuss it before we execute it."

He was genuinely afraid that Ling Shuang would storm back to the snowfield in a fit of rage.

Although Ling Shuang's temper has been much milder over the years due to work reasons.

But in a situation like today, Zhang Mu couldn't stop it at all.

They both grew up in a military compound, especially Ling Shuang, who trained there all along and has a deep affection for the military.

He was forced to helplessly watch his comrades sacrifice themselves.

It was like stabbing him in the heart.

At this moment, Shen Yuan spoke up.

"Leaving aside that mysterious Luan Bird Legion, it seems that we are the only ones who might be able to break through."

We must make decisions carefully.

Sometimes I worry that everyone else on Earth has completely disappeared.

Only we, the last seeds, remain to participate in their treacherous game of breeding poison in this apocalypse.

As soon as Shen Yuan spoke, everyone turned to look at him in shock.

They never considered the possibility that all of human civilization had become extinct.

I just thought we were unlucky and were chosen without really knowing why.

"Shen Yuan, combine the intelligence and blueprints I compiled last time with the map sent by Nantianmen to ensure information symmetry."

Let's all calm down; our task is still very challenging.

"Okay, Manager Ling."

ten minutes later,

On the table lay a simple diagram drawn by Ling Shuang herself, next to which were overlapping intelligence summaries.

Guo Yueshan, Shen Yuan, and Zhang Mu sat around Ling Shuang, each with a solemn expression on their face.

The others stood aside and listened quietly.

"I'll start. The management office has been arranging for personnel to update the city's defenses. I just got a copy from Shen Yuan."

Ling Shuang opened her notebook and tapped the paper with her charcoal pencil.

"Our current defensive forces consist of twelve crossbow towers, one frost arrow tower, 35 regular arrow towers, and a four-meter-high iron wall."

Given the strength the ghoul camp has revealed so far, they should have no problem defending themselves from the outside.

On the contrary, I find the third-tier Night Demon Mother to be extremely threatening.

Jiang Xiaobei said in surprise,

"No way, Brother Ling, didn't you say you're only at Tier 1, and there are several Tier 2 ghoul commanders and captains on the other side?"

At this moment, Shen Yuan explained on Ling Shuang's behalf,

"Manager Ling is right, provided that the strength of the second-tier ghouls is as it has been shown so far, simply in terms of speed and power."

With our current city defenses, they have no chance of breaking through.

They were nomadic tribes, lacking heavy weapons for sieges.

Seemingly afraid that the crowd wouldn't understand, Shen Yuan patiently continued,

"Just like in ancient times, without heavy weapons, it was difficult to take down the defending side even with a 20 to 1 force."

Not only are our food reserves plentiful, but that Frost Arrow Tower is a complete steal, with unlimited ammo.

Ling Shuang glanced at Shen Yuan with admiration.

With him around, I don't have to worry too much about decisions back home when I go out on adventures.

He continued,

I have surveyed and estimated the organization of the ghoul camp.

After Gertu died, there were still about two hundred ghouls left in the camp, one-tenth of which were first-tier mature ghouls.

As for the three commanders/captains, they are all above the second rank.

Even if that female ghoul nightingale is strong, her strength should be limited.

Zhao Tiejun interjected, "What if those inspectors come?"

"I don't know."

Ling Shuang answered very decisively.

"I haven't witnessed the power of the third tier yet."

But judging from the horrific state of the ghoul camp, once they advance to the third tier, it's difficult for second-tier ghouls to overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

There was a moment of silence in the study, then Ling Shuang continued.

"In other words, we need to find a way to delay the arrival of the main city inspectors, giving us enough time to grow, and also to prepare for another attack from the Night Demon Mother."

"What about the Fire Source Blood?" Zhang Mu asked. "Can you confirm whether it's just you who has this special blood, or whether any human being has it?"

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. If it were me, I wouldn't care."

Ling Shuang's gaze darkened. "But in the minds of ghouls, humans are a rare resource, or even a treasure that can be supplied to ranchers."

Our entire safe zone is like a giant gold mine.

Guo Yueshan unconsciously clenched his teacup.

If that day really comes...

Will humans be treated like animals and kept in captivity?

"And it's not just ranchers."

Ling Shuang continued, "What about outside this ranch?"

If there are other forces on this ice field, and word gets out, we might be facing more than just a rancher...

"So what should we do?" Wang Can felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but ask.

Ling Shuang gestured for Shen Yuan to answer for her, and the latter immediately understood.

"We need to stall for time, for as long as we can."

Manager Ling must re-enter the ghoul camp.

My suggestion is that he needs to penetrate the middle layer as soon as possible to gain enough influence to shift the mining team's new mining route away from the underground river.

For simple tribes like ghouls, it might be possible to deliberately create conflict with high-ranking ghouls, fight them, and gain the attention of the higher-ups. Of course, one must always be careful to ensure one's own safety.

In such struggles for power, the support of those below is most crucial.

Shen Yuan gave himself a pleasant surprise.

Ling Shuang had originally planned to spend some time with Heto, but Shen Yuan was right.

The community is developing cautiously, with little room for error.

"Deviating from the route is the most crucial first step," Ling Shuang continued. "In addition, I need to figure out the secret of the Fire Source Blood and the true strength of the rancher."

I still need to confirm the location of the iron ore vein.

The armory needs to capture the mines to become fully effective; this problem will have to be solved sooner or later.

Guo Yueshan nodded. "Don't worry, we will mobilize all residents to participate in the construction of the territory as soon as possible."

He paused for a moment, his gaze falling on the thick stack of telegram records on the table.

"There's one more thing," Guo Yueshan said, looking at everyone.

"The matter of the South Heavenly Gate Command Post cannot be known only to a few of us; it must be told to all the residents."

"They gave us intelligence and blueprints, they gave us everything they could, but they gave their lives on the battlefield."

I, Lao Guo, believe that these soldiers should not be forgotten.

He stood up, placing his hands on the table. "If no one remembers history, then what kind of spark of civilization are we?"

Ling Shuang expressed her approval, and the others nodded in agreement.

Wang Can said casually,

"From now on, we'll also need to draft telegrams listing the names and achievements, just in case..."

Liu Yun glared at Wang Can.

He immediately shut up.

Just then, Jiang Xiaobei's hesitant voice suddenly came from the side.

"The telegram contained the unit designation and the list of martyrs."

"How about we erect a monument to their heroic deeds?"
