The voice was like a bronze bell, calm and indifferent.
The chattering crowd present involuntarily fell silent.
“We don't have enough weapons, we can't fight head-on…” Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by the proponents.
“Xu Qian, right? What are you talking about? If we don't fight, what do we do? What about the millions of people in our N province? Tell us.”
Xu Qian glanced up at him, and the man felt a snake slither across his entire body.
Cold, so cold.
She lowered her eyelids, making it impossible to see the thoughts in her eyes. Her voice became colder as she spoke.
“Please do not interrupt me.”
The man suddenly stood up, pointing at Xu Qian, about to curse: “You…”
A mere girl dared to speak to him in such a tone.
Qiang Xiucheng quickly intervened to mediate: “Alright, alright, stop arguing. Isn't this unavoidable? Little Qian here has a solution, and you're still interrupting. Sit down quickly.”
“Little Qian, please continue.”
Xu Qian frowned slightly, her expression displeased, but she continued, “Although we cannot fight head-on, we can find a way to lure the snake out of its hole.”
Qiang Xiucheng’s eyes lit up, and a spark of light appeared in his previously cloudy eyes.
“Continue.”
“We'll first evacuate the masses to the air-raid shelters at the outermost border, and then set up an ambush in the city. When they enter, we will launch a surprise attack.”
“Otherwise, we are too passive on the shore. Their warships are well-equipped, and if they bring a few more, we won't have the strength to resist.”
Qiang Xiucheng frowned and raised a doubt: “Will they disembark so easily?”
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow: “Of course not. We have to pretend to surrender.”
“We'll set up traps in the city. When their warships dock, we'll have it easy.”
The man with glasses continued to ask: “They can leave people on the warships and still attack us, can’t they?”
Facing his question, her pupils were as calm and unwavering as ever, she said faintly: “As long as the warships dock, I will have a way.”
The man with glasses wanted to ask more, but Xu Qian directly interrupted: “I will handle the warships. You only need to be responsible for the front lines.”
Everyone looked at each other. This method was indeed good, but could she really handle the warships?
Qiang Xiucheng also had some doubts. Since Xiao Qian refused to disclose the reason, everyone naturally dared not believe her.
“Come, let’s vote now. If the supporters are more, we will follow Xiao Qian’s method. If the supporters are fewer, we will find another solution.”
No one objected.
Soon, the result came out: 6 to 5, just passing by the skin of their teeth.
Everyone had truly run out of ideas.
Qiang Xiucheng solemnly patted her shoulder, his gaze was like looking at his own daughter.
“Xiao Qian, from now on, we are truly counting on you.”
The two returned to the dormitory. Xiao Ping shamelessly sidled up and asked: “Xu Qian, why are you helping them so much?”
From what he knew, aside from her own people, Xu Qian was not a compassionate or kind person to others.
Xu Qian leaned back on the sofa, tilted her head back, and closed her eyes.
“I do it because I want to. What reasons are there?”
Xiao Ping gave a thumbs-up: “Our Qian… is indeed amazing.”
Preparations continued. After everything was ready, they finally arrived.
One person and one zombie sat on the reefs by the shore, the cold wind gently blowing across their faces.
The backs of the young man and woman leaning against each other were exceptionally warm.
“Xu Qian, you’re planning to put the warships into your space, right?”
“Mm.”
Xiao Ping’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly asked, “Does that mean we can drive warships from now on?”
