Chapter 234 - Chapter 234: The First Batch of Distant Refugees

This incident also served as a reminder for Su Wu.

Perhaps in the future, he could engage more with various types of industrial products.

Even on the same bracelet, integrating a camera, or a projector, or a thermometer.

After the enhancements at the Survival Point, they could yield different results.

Perhaps one of these items could evolve into something very useful.

Realizing the potential of small investments yielding great returns.

"The residents of the newly constructed area of the shelter seem to be in generally good spirits."

"We can continue to expand based on this template."

Whether it's street greening or the construction of facilities like basketball courts in the activity area.

Ultimately, it's all about ensuring that those living in the underground shelter can maintain a relatively normal mental state over the long term.

It seems that these measures have proven effective.

So, he can confidently continue to promote them.

Only a stable and normal society can have the potential for continued development.

Rather than being suddenly destroyed by an internal conflict at some point in the future.

He turned off the holographic projection.

Turning his head.

Su Wu looked out through the large glass porthole of the captain's room.

Under the illumination of the Cruise Ship's massive searchlight.

A vast world seemingly enveloped in endless mist came into his view.

Compared to the grandeur of nature before him.

Su Wu's recent experience of unifying the entire Jianghe City and bringing millions of people under his rule.

Felt like an ant uniting a few ant hills in the yard.

It seemed impressive.

But in reality, it remained fragile enough to be easily destroyed by a child carrying a kettle of boiling water.

"In the face of natural disasters, whether it's the high and mighty or the ordinary people at the bottom of society."

"Fate doesn't really differ much."

Su Wu sighed softly.

He gradually calmed the slight sense of inflation that had arisen from unifying the entire Jianghe City.

Turning around.

Su Wu stepped into the open Miniature Mech behind him.

He maneuvered the mech away from the captain's room.

Outside, the torrential rain on the deck hit him head-on.

Thanks to the excellent sensors of the Miniature Mech.

Su Wu felt as if he were truly immersed in the downpour.

Yet inside the mech, the warmth of spring.

Made him completely unaware of the various negative states brought on by the rain.

This obvious sense of disconnection.

Gave Su Wu a peculiar experience.

He glanced around a bit.

Su Wu operated the Miniature Mech, starting to patrol around the Cruise Ship.

Then he entered the ship's interior from the deck.

Touring layer by layer.

Since there were no other people in the Cruise Ship at the moment.

The interior of the ship was basically pitch black.

Walking through it.

Especially considering that he was physically present.

Separated from the outside world by just the thin layer of armor of the Miniature Mech.

Su Wu felt a slight sense of adventure and tension.

But that was about it.

This Cruise Ship.

Having undergone repairs by the Spider Robots and engineering robots for several days.

Not to mention danger.

Even any corpse or bloodstain could not possibly exist.

It was as clean as his own territory when the lights were turned off.

After spending a full hour.

He carefully opened every room in the Cruise Ship and visually scanned them.

Su Wu finally stood at the rear of the Cruise Ship, in the recently repaired massive engine room.

He opened the Doomsday Survival System panel.

He discovered a newly refreshed green rare task.

[Patrol the Cruise Ship, welcome the first batch of refugees from afar.]

The progress had reached 50%.

The remaining half was the welcoming of the refugees that had yet to be completed.

At that moment.

A message from a reconnaissance drone popped up at the edge of the Miniature Mech's screen.

It had discovered a small fleet composed of several shabby fishing boats about ten kilometers away from the Cruise Ship.

Looking at the fishing boats, they were filled with people whose expressions were either weary or numb.

It was evident.

They were the refugees mentioned in the system task.

"The timing is just right."

Su Wu murmured.

He no longer lingered in the engine room.

He operated the Miniature Mech, accelerating towards the captain's room at the top of the ship.

At the same time, he used the artificial intelligence of the farmhouse courtyard.

To dispatch several members of the security team.

To take two medium-sized hovercraft to the vicinity of the Cruise Ship.

Responsible for contacting the refugee fleet.

Although the system task required him to personally welcome the refugees.

There were still loopholes in the specific definition of this.

For example, Su Wu standing on the Cruise Ship.

Allowing his shelter's security team members to interact with those refugees within his line of sight.

Could also be considered as personally welcoming them.

After all, this could completely be seen as Su Wu leading the team.

And as long as the formality was in place, that was enough.

It wouldn't make sense for him, the supreme ruler of Jianghe City, to personally handle even the small matter of specific conversations.

At the same time.

This way, he could also minimize his own risk.

Even though Su Wu now stood at the pinnacle of Jianghe City.

His body was still not much different from an ordinary person.

Being ambushed by a bullet.

He would still face the danger of dying on the spot.

In unnecessary situations, it was best to avoid such close contact with strangers, which harbored great risks.

After about ten minutes.

Su Wu returned to the captain's room of the Cruise Ship.

Holding a pair of binoculars.

He saw the security team driving the medium-sized hovercraft.

Gradually merging with the refugee team.

Not long after.

The refugees began to transfer from the fishing boats to the medium-sized hovercraft in sequence.

Clearly, the security team had completed the reception of the refugees.

Putting down the binoculars.

Su Wu looked at the system panel.

It displayed, as expected, that the task was completed.

Su Wu received the highest reward possible for a green rare task, 99 Survival Points.

"So many Survival Points as a reward."

"Does this mean the task is of great significance?"

Looking at the task details on the panel, Su Wu pondered carefully.

He vaguely guessed the reason for such a high reward.

Welcoming the first batch of refugees.

In other words.

There would likely be more refugees coming in the future.

And the probability was high that their numbers would exceed a certain threshold.

Which could have a significant impact on Su Wu's current ruling structure.

"Is it a wave of refugees numbering in the hundreds of thousands, three hundred thousand, or even over a million?"

Su Wu's thoughts gradually became clearer.

He then shifted his gaze back to the massive Cruise Ship beneath his feet.

Passively welcoming refugees didn't require deploying such a colossal water city.

Considering the poor quality of the boats the refugees were on.

The casualties along the way would surely be substantial.

So what Su Wu should do next was evident.
