Feeling everyone’s gaze upon him, Meng Fan was well aware of what they were thinking. To pour all their remaining strength into a desperate, hot-blooded assault on these demons would certainly relieve their pent-up frustration, but it would be nothing more than throwing their lives away.
Future City was the only place left with dense arrays of death-ray weapons and anti-matter shields. These were the cutting-edge, sci-fi-inspired defenses just recently established—humanity’s last trump card against the demonic onslaught. Relying on Future City did not necessarily mean that humanity would be utterly annihilated. Therefore, reason prevailed over Meng Fan. He disregarded their suggestions, maintaining his calm despite the rage simmering within him.
However, he did not entirely dismiss their ideas. After a moment of thought, he spoke up: "Let’s have our two light-shuttles equipped with death-ray weapons launch a direct attack on those demons. We need to lure them to Future City as much as possible, buying time for the other cities to evacuate. If a final showdown is to happen, it must happen at Future City."
