Fell couldn't help but carefully gaze at each of them. With this information, dropped like a bomb, it wouldn't be surprising that the majority of them would bail out on the fight.
Walter had a wry smile on his lips, and he couldn't help but shudder at the thought of such a weapon's existence. He tried opening his lips to reveal the atmosphere, but when he tried, no sound escaped from his throat, and he only swallowed his intention.
"I don't want to lie to any of you. The calamity that will hit our city will destruct it with a probability nearing one hundred percent. And sadly, it is only through truly accepting this fact that we might have a speck of a chance to turn destiny's path, and s.h.i.+ft the incoming fight to our advantage."
"To be honest, The vicious beasts aren't what is truly making me afraid. We, humans, have developed weapons strong enough, akin to their claws and fangs, and it wouldn't be surprising that we managed to repel their a.s.sault completely."
"But if we don't find a solution to counter those unknown bombs, then it is simply over."
"Please, everyone, think about anything that might help us. Even if it sounds absurd or stupid, don't hesitate to share your thoughts as anything can help us at this point."
The many men sitting around the table couldn't help but nod silently, with an ugly expression on their darkened faces, they fell in deep thoughts. Many bodily tics resurfaced, and their ranges of motion extended from merely stroking one's jaw to tapping with their fingers the gla.s.s table in rhythm.
A womanly voice resounded through the silent room, and the many eyes turned toward it. She was one of the few higher ups of the police department of the city and was on top of the East police center of the central district.
"What about using the Core of New Casablanca?", she asked without taking her gaze out of Fell. "I mean if those, unG.o.dly, kind of weapon were to be dropped on us. I can't think about any one who will use those kinds of resources without any spare."
"Our city isn't any important place on Earth, and if there wanted our utmost destruction. Those weapons would already have been dropped on every inch of our beautiful planet.", everyone couldn't help but nod at her logic.
"Which means that their objective is probably to colonize us…", she added before pausing for a second. "New Casablanca's attack might be a show of strength to the other cities of our planet. Something that will mark the spirit of every Earthling with horror and fear.". In the last part of her sentence, her voice turned slightly acute, and she couldn't help but stop and take a deep breath.
Although what she shared was closer to theory, everyone present couldn't help but find it plausible. "If this is the case…", spoke the man in military clothing. "Then it is our duty to leave this Earth with pride, let's show them that we ain't some fragile species. And if they come to bite us, then they should expect to lose a few fangs!", his loud voice reverberated through the room. And his pa.s.sion kindled the cold heart of the many individuals present.
"Right!", one of the other men couldn't help but roar while hitting the table with a mighty slap. "We aren't some weak species that can only take a hit, and not retaliate. Worst comes to worst; we'll detonate our ma.s.sive energy resources and take down everything before they even use their weapon.", the man added. Proposing a suicidal attack wasn't something the individuals were affectionate off as their goal would s.h.i.+ft from protecting the few citizens that stayed, and would turn into a message for the rest of the planet.
A few disgruntled voices rose, and the dialog intensified between the many men and women in the room. Fell couldn't help but look silently at them, and before long, decided to stop their fiery and slightly useless argumentation.
"The Core can be used as a retreat, as the last option. There exist a large distance between the central district and the Core. We could use this at our advantage to retreat, and if we prepare ourselves early for this possibility. We might even detonate the many factories along the road to secure our backing.", he succinctly spoke.
The many eyes in the room were again marked on him. And this time, his proposal managed to please both side of the reunion; be it those who wanted to fight in a suicidal manner to the bitter end, or those who wanted to try and save the brave citizen who didn't escape.
"We could even send the few citizens that stayed in the Core, and at the same time, prepare the detonation of the many factories.", he added before silently waiting for an answer.
"Kid, are you some kind of military genius?", joked the military clothed man before nodding to his plan.
"I can help take care of the accommodation of the citizen in the Core. Although I hadn't been there for a long time, I have many contacts there, and I might manage to rally a few brave heroes to our cause.", he added before falling in deep thought.
It had been a long time since he had met Vicious Zhang; the b.a.s.t.a.r.d had been a fatherly figure for him throughout his whole life, and now that the survival of the city was at bay, he couldn't help but feel like meeting him one last time. His memory flashed, and the many brave men from the gladiator heaven appeared in his mind.
