...

"What do you mean?!" Upon hearing Yu Yuheng finish speaking, Shi Deyuan, standing at the front, immediately frowned and said, "I don’t quite understand. If we’re attracting those monsters, where do we run?"

"Here’s the thing. I’ll first explain the technical principle of this plan. Initially, this device hasn’t yet undergone unmanned testing, so its feasibility is questionable in this scenario, which is why we’ve developed multiple contingency plans."

Hearing this, KIKI quietly said to Lin Xian, "As expected, I thought they were really using an unmanned device to attract the monsters. Looking at it this way, isn’t it that the Dark Mark was put on the Chen Wei brothers during their fight? That means this plan might not work."

"Wait a minute, let’s hear him out first." Lin Xian replied softly.

At this time, Yu Yuheng had a staff member bring up a glass container holding a blob of green liquid, with a small device above it.

"This is the blood of the black worm that died earlier. We extracted a part of it that still maintains active properties. There’s a volatilizing device on top; over the past few days, everyone should have noticed that the black worm dares not come close here. We’ve speculated the same as you have, so the second plan is to carry the black worm’s blood to create the same deterrence, adding extra insurance to our breakout."

"Lastly, the third contingency."

Yu Yuheng then stepped forward, taking out a second glass container: "We’ve made two of these devices, so for this breakout, we’ll split into two groups!"

"Split into two groups?" Qian Deli frowned.

"That’s right." Yu Yuheng nodded, speaking with determination: "If the first and second preparations don’t work, by splitting into two groups, we ensure that at least one team might avoid the black worm."

"In other words, there’s a fifty percent chance some of us could survive!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

"Wow, that sounds a bit brutal." A convoy leader with a thick hat said nervously.

Yu Yuheng shrugged: "There aren’t better options right now. The resonance generator and the black worm’s blood currently only have theoretical effects. If effective, both teams might survive. From a practical standpoint, as a researcher, splitting into two groups gives us a slightly higher chance of survival."

His words left many in deep thought, knowing that encountering the black worm during the escape essentially meant complete annihilation. Surviving in this blizzard was nearly impossible.

"Isn’t there any other plan, what about the support from Xilan City?" someone asked.

"I suggest we shouldn’t have high hopes for reinforcement," Yu Yuheng calmly replied, "It’s over 1000 kilometers from here to Xilan City. Even for Flying Superpower Users, it’s tough to survive in such extreme cold and blizzard conditions. Whether or not they could reach us without incident or trouble, let alone withstand a large wave of monsters, is uncertain."

"Our Emperor Group’s armed convoy is powerful, equipped with several Strikers, yet almost the entire force is wiped out, leaving less than 20 of us. There are less than three hours until nightfall; waiting for rescue is riskier than making our move. Our survival rate will significantly drop in the dark, which everyone must understand."

After finishing, Yu Yuheng looked at Qian Deli: "I know that superpower user is your subordinate, but I’m sorry, in this situation, we can’t just wait."

"Although I believe my buddy can make it to Xilan City, it indeed is an issue to arrive before dark," Qian Deli said, hands gathered in his sleeves, speaking blandly.

"It looks like breaking through might be our only option now," Shi Deyuan said, crossing his arms and looking at Sun Kai: "Commander Sun, transferring through the Ice Valley doesn’t seem feasible; abandoning heavy weaponry and armored vehicles, even if we leave the Ice Valley, we likely won’t get far."

"Indeed." Ning Jing echoed: "And you’re operating in a small team mode. If our large group moves, the monsters might follow immediately, leaving us no chance to resist and getting buried under the Ice Valley."

In fact, many had dismissed the idea of a covert transfer from the beginning since for these survivors, armor and firepower were their sense of security.

Furthermore, although people here didn’t understand the concept of the Dark Mark, they knew that those monsters couldn’t possibly fall for the empty city trick.

Hearing this, Sun Kai nodded, understanding everyone’s concerns, then said

"So, we’ll go with the breakout plan. Currently, there are two paths: one is the original route north, and the other is a detour to the west. Everyone can choose freely; our armed unit will take responsibility..."

"There’s another plan!"

Before Sun Kai could finish, a loud voice from behind interrupted him.

Everyone turned to look and saw Chen Wei standing up, walking towards them and speaking sharply: "There’s another plan that could save everyone."

Yu Yuheng immediately stepped forward to stop him, speaking in a rejecting tone, "Chen Wei, we’ve already discussed that your plan isn’t feasible based on technical validation."

"What’s not feasible?"

Chen Wei pulled up a rather young engineer from the technical team: "Xiao Yang is a Tier 3 Coefficient Driver. Before, I could operate it alone, and with Xiao Yang helping me handle relay signals, we can absolutely get it running!"
