Chapter 492: Chapter 326: Sibling Bonds
Border District.
At Su Mo’s request, Fenrir has ordered all members of the Wolf Attack to begin evacuating the residents in the occupied blocks.
In handling this matter, Fenrir faced many difficulties.
On one hand, she had to keep Su Mo’s secret safe, without revealing the source of the information, not even being able to disclose the real reason to her subordinates and the public.
In fact, even if she told them, it would be useless; who would believe the tale that beasts are about to break through the border patrol station and sweep across New Moon City?
On the other hand, deploying manpower to evacuate citizens means fewer people are available to handle violent conflicts, requiring vigilance against Raven’s Nest and the Ashen Gang taking advantage of the situation.
However, Fenrir, being a group leader for so many years, is quite adept at handling such matters; she cleverly crafted the reasons for the evacuation that she presented to the public.
Fenrir explained that Wolf Attack had already defeated the Death Scythe Mercenary Corps and was about to launch a comprehensive retaliatory strike against Raven’s Nest and the Ashen Gang, with war erupting throughout the Border District. Those not involved should evacuate immediately to avoid being affected.
Wolf Attack managed to establish themselves in the border area through relentless battles and fighting, to the point of being regarded as bloodthirsty crazies by many opposing groups.
Moreover, recently, the Ashen Gang and Raven’s Nest used the Scythe of Death to suppress Wolf Attack, which was then driven back by Wolf Attack. Given their usual style, the retaliation is bound to be brutal.
Thus, no one doubted this reasoning, everyone believed it.
Those capable are already finding ways to sneak into the Inner City, while those unable to have packed their bags, ready to flee elsewhere to avoid the storm.
Not only are the citizens anxious, but Raven’s Nest and Ashen Gang are also on high alert.
Seeing Wolf Attack gathering citizens for evacuation with such seriousness, they genuinely believe the group of crazies is about to launch an unprecedented large-scale retaliation and are making preparations for defense; the hooligans under their command are huddled within their own territories, not daring to make rash moves.
In this way, Fenrir not only covered Su Mo’s secret but also cleverly facilitated the evacuation, while simultaneously intimidating the enemies into cautious inaction.
An undercurrent began to flow through the entire border area in an orderly manner.
...
From receiving Su Mo’s message until now, during the past month, the evacuation efforts in the border area have been ongoing, with people from Wolf Attack going door to door along each street to persuade residents to leave, with Hibell and Troy also involved.
The evacuation is indeed smooth and orderly, but not as effortless as imagined. After all, people are not sheep; they have the ability to think independently, and don’t just leave because you tell them to.
Regarding the reasons given by Wolf Attack, most believe them, but many people, for various reasons, are unwilling to leave the border.
This includes but is not limited to physical disabilities, elderly people who don’t want to be bothered, reluctance to leave their homes, etc., posing great resistance to Wolf Attack’s evacuation efforts.
Hibell is quite diligent in execution; for those unwilling to leave, she insists on persuading each one, if possible, or resorts to threats and incentives, dragging them out of their homes if necessary.
At this moment, Hibell was leading a family of three out of an apartment building.
The male head of the family, carrying large bags, cursed incessantly, "We’ve told you we don’t want to leave, we’ll take responsibility for the consequences ourselves, why are you so annoying?!"
Hibell kicked him on the behind, "When I tell you to leave, you leave! You talk too much. This is for your safety, so go! If you dare come back secretly halfway, watch me demolish your house!"
The man, grumbling curses, angrily led his wife and child away.
After they walked away, Hibell sat down on the ground with a sigh, "I’m exhausted... Bro, I’m thirsty."
Troy handed over a canned soda from his pocket, then looked at the back of the family of three leaving, shaking his head, "This is the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen."
Hibell glanced at him, "What are you referring to?"
Troy frowned and said, "About recent events. I can’t believe the boss actually believed Su Mo’s nonsense."
Hibell: "You don’t trust Su Mo?"
Troy: "No, it’s very strange, suddenly coming out to say beasts will attack the border, asking him where the information came from, he refuses to say, it’s simply baffling."
Hibell chuckled, teasing him, "Maybe he traveled back in time from the future, or is one of those transmigrators from web novels... hey, do you think he might have some system, the kind that gives him lots of money just for checking in every day?"
Troy rolled his eyes, poking her forehead, "I told you to read more books, I meant those by renowned authors, not those messy web novels."
Hibell slapped away his hand, pouting, "What’s wrong with web novels? Why look down on them? In these times, when everyone’s having such a tough time, aren’t we allowed to read something light and relaxing?"
"But honestly, I also think what Su Mo said is outrageous, but since Big Sister believes him, so do I."
Troy pursed his lips, looking somewhat worried, "I’ve actually been quite concerned about your state; you’re too personally devoted to her. You believe whatever she says, do whatever she asks, you’ll suffer for it in the future."
Anger flashed in Hibell’s eyes, retorting, "Troy, I’ve told you many times, don’t speak ill of Big Sister!"
Troy emphatically replied, "I’m not speaking ill of her; I also admire her greatly. Wolf Attack has grown from a small inconsequential group to its current scale, and most of the credit should go to her."
