Chapter 2044 - 1599: Out of Control (Part 2)

"Stop talking, let me see."

Su Mo’s heart sank as he interrupted Sun Duoxiang’s words. He opened his electronic bracelet and logged into the Star Ring Forum.

As a result, he discovered that the previously very quiet Star Ring Forum had erupted with countless posts, almost all with titles in red font.

"We want a way to survive! Give us mother ships, we strongly demand that Star Ring City release all mother ships and the Blue Whale."

"We want a way out....."

...

Su Mo looked at these posts asking Star Ring City for ships with a frown.

"Is the evacuation plan of various countries not going smoothly?"

Sun Duoxiang leaned over at this time, expressing to Su Mo: "Smooth? That’s impossible. Boss, you can’t possibly think about how large the population of each country is and how many ships it owns, and not every ship is suitable for long voyages. Now, the widely recognized ships that are suitable for long voyages and finding a Suitable Star must at least be a level 4 or higher mother ship type or a level 5 Blue Whale, because only such ships are equipped with ecological circulation systems that can support long-term interstellar voyages, otherwise, they would end up perishing in the Star Sea shortly after setting sail due to various reasons."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s eyebrow slightly raised, but he didn’t say much more. However, Sun Duoxiang’s mouth was like a faucet that wouldn’t stop speaking.

"The current situation is that there are too few ships capable of long voyages, and too many people want to leave. The situation in the Federation is slightly better, after all, you contributed so many Blue Whales, and the Federation has also adopted a quota system where each family, more or less, can be allocated a quota. Therefore, the resistance is slightly less severe, but in other countries, there is all sorts of shady dealings, exploitation, and unfair practices happening frequently. It’s simply a chaotic scene, everyone showing their skills, making it quite lively."

"Do you think they can get ships from Star Ring City?"

Su Mo looked up at Sun Duoxiang.

"Huh? Getting ships from Icaroya? Isn’t that just a daydream? Icaroya City Lord’s personality is clear at a glance; she will not compromise. Let me tell you, Boss, so many who can’t board the ships have gathered at the Divine Grace Square, constantly protesting, yet they haven’t even seen a shadow."

"Hmm."

Su Mo slightly shook his head, unable to give much comment on this matter.

Sun Duoxiang then showed a meaningful smile and said to Su Mo: "Boss, can you guess what happens since Lord Icaroya is not responding?"

"What does it evolve into?"

Su Mo looked up at Sun Duoxiang.

"Hehe, look at the latest pinned post."

Sun Duoxiang left a bit of mystery hanging.

Su Mo then went back to view the pinned posts on the Star Ring Forum and was greeted by a striking title.

"Demon City Lord · Icaroya!"

Su Mo had glanced at it briefly before but hadn’t paid much attention, so he clicked in to take a look.

He saw a person called "Wandering Cat" furiously accusing.

"We originally lived in a safe universe, although life was hard, at least the future was full of hope, without suffering attacks from Monsters and pollution. But we were bewitched by this demon, Icaroya, summoned here through special means to serve her. Now that problems have arisen, she’s wiped her hands clean. Is there such luck in this world? Everyone should unite together, seek justice from Icaroya, and make her relocate our Mother Star back to its original position..."

.....

"That’s right, we want to return to our original universe."

"We didn’t know anything before, that’s why we were tempted here, but now we want our fair rights back."

"We must be sent back."

"Send us back."

"We just want to go home, is that wrong?"

...

Seeing this post, Su Mo couldn’t help but raise his hand to rub his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He spoke up and asked Sun Duoxiang.

"What do you think of this issue."

"Isn’t this all nonsense? Although I’m not too clear on how Star Ring City managed to move us here initially, one thing is clear: the cost must be very high. I think it’s unlikely that Star Ring City will go to such great lengths to help move us back."

Sun Duoxiang gave his thoughts after thinking about it.

Su Mo slightly nodded his head and said to Sun Duoxiang: "It seems you have grown quite a lot over the years, and your insights have broadened. I also think their demands are not realistic, Icaroya will surely not agree or pay attention, especially because the cost of sending us back is too high. If I’m not mistaken, when we chose to participate in the Earth Cup, Star Ring City was already making preparations."

In fact, even at its peak, Star Ring City had no intention of returning all the Mother Stars of each country, let alone now.

It’s important to know that the current Star Ring City has been severely damaged, with seven Light Halos, of which four have been destroyed, leaving only three.

"Wise as always, Boss. Actually, it doesn’t concern us. Let them fuss; Icaroya won’t listen anyway."

Sun Duoxiang immediately praised him.

Just as Su Mo was about to speak, the broadcast sound suddenly echoed throughout Star Ring City.

"Emergency notice: Star Ring City is about to proceed to the front line for a special mission; thus, entering a special combat readiness state. Star Ring City will dock with the returning Radiant City in half an hour. By then, all non-combatants on Star Ring City need to be transferred to Radiant City within 48 hours and are not permitted to stay in Star Ring City. Those who do not comply will be forcibly cleared and severely punished."

"Due to the dire conditions on the front line, we cannot guarantee the safety of surface properties of Star Ring City; hence, a special act is being implemented where all assets on Star Ring City will be equivalently exchanged to Radiant City.... "
