Chapter 796: Seven Days!

Jiang Qianxue was dumbfounded. Hong Dali was not just averagely rich. This was just too savage? In just one go, nearly 130 million was credited?!
But the people who had followed Hong Dali from Earth were calm—this was considered a lot? Back on Earth…
Aiyaya, if we told you about it you would be shocked to death!
“Hmm, okay. That’s not bad.” Hong Dali grinned and nodded. “Aiya, I did not expect to earn so much. Anyway, since I have money, I might as well spend it. What should I buy?”
Just as Hong Dali was stressing over ways to spend the money, Jiang Qianxue’s communicator suddenly rang. After the call was connected, Jiang Qianxue’s face turned serious after exchanging a few words.
Jiang Qianxue turned off the communicator and looked at Hong Dali. She said somberly, “Dali, I’m afraid you have a real problem this time.”
“Eh, problem?” Hong Dali exclaimed in surprise. “What problem? I have not offended anyone, right? There’s only Li Tianxing who does not seem to like me. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. I have not offended him…”
You slow-witted fool!
Tang Muxin wished she could kick him—he’s jealous of you, can you not see it?!
However, it was obvious that the problem this time was not that simple. Jiang Qianxue said seriously, “Dali, it’s not just jealousy between rivals. The problem this time is the Zerg!”
Zerg!
Just the mention of that word had the hair on top of Hong Dali’s head’s standing! He was usually thoughtless, but that was because he was not in danger. On Earth, there were people protecting him. At the Galaxy Alliance Center, he was an Honorary Aristocrat. He would not go about looking for trouble himself, so naturally, he was able to squander happily.
But now it was different! The Zerg had appeared! And since it was mentioned that it was his problem, there was no need to ask more. Something must have happened over where Earth was!
Seeing that the first thought Hong Dali had when he heard that word was that Earth was in danger, Jiang Qianxue gave a mental nod. On the surface, Hong Dali was always happy-go-lucky and never seemed to be serious, but he was extremely intelligent. Under normal circumstances, it was not obvious, but when things got serious, he was quite reliable.
By now, everyone who had come here with Hong Dali from Earth started getting anxious.
Their families were all back on Earth!
And now, Earth was under threat from the Zerg. It was hard for anyone not to be anxious if something like that happened.
“Dali.” Tang Muxin was so scared that her hands had gone pale. “Think of something, quickly!”
Li Nianwei also uncharacteristically grabbed onto Hong Dali’s arm. Her face was pale.
“I know, don’t worry.” Hong Dali’s expression was no longer jovial. He patted Li Nianwei’s hand gently and said quietly, “Where are the Zerg now? How far away are they from Earth?”
He was usually happy-go-lucky as if nothing mattered, but when it came to crucial situations such as this, Hong Dali was a man who could make crucial decisions.
As Jiang Qianxue watched, her heart gave a leap! For some reason, Hong Dali was forever at the center of people’s attention! It was hard to gauge his depth usually, but when push came to shove…
“We are not sure yet,” said Jiang Qianxue slowly. “But based on the Zerg’s speed, they will reach Earth in no more than two weeks. This time, the situation is more serious than usual. There are mutated Zerg!”
“Mutated!” Muttering to himself, countless possibilities immediately flashed through Hong Dali’s mind. Since Jiang Qianxue specifically mentioned them, the mutated Zerg must be very hard to deal with. He immediately asked, “How many troops do the Galaxy Aristocrats plan to send?”
“Five Second-Order Stellar Space Carriers led by Li Tianxing and Feng Wuhen,” Jiang Qianxue replied.
“Good.” Hong Dali took a deep breath. “I will remember this debt of gratitude.” After saying that, he closed his eyes. When his eyes opened once again, they were gleaming!
“Xiaoyi, contact the people at the spacecraft factory we bought previously and tell them to get all the large spacecraft ready. Also, go to the market and buy all the huge spacecrafts on sale. Buy as many as you can. In addition, find out where we can buy the Thunder Angel core from. This time when we go back, we are going to evacuate all the people on the planet and move them all to the new planet I bought.”
No one had expected that the purchases Hong Dali bought from squandering would come in useful so soon!
The value of the spacecraft factory and the newly-purchased planet suitable for human habitation had increased infinitely now. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as the lives of their family and friends, as well as all the people on Earth, could be guaranteed, Hong Dali would not bat an eyelid no matter how much he had to spend. Hong Dali would not hesitate to spend even 200 million, not to mention 20 million.
“Dali, you made the right choice in buying that planet!” Tang Muxin gave Hong Dali a big kiss.
Li Nianwei was a little shy, but she kissed him too. “Young Master, thank you.”
The first step was to evacuate the people and transfer them to a safe place. It was likely that only Hong Dali was capable of doing something like that. If it were anyone else, such a thing might not be possible.
Both Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei were very worked up.
This was Hong Dali. He may be usually thoughtless and without care, but he was really reliable when necessary.
Now, Jiang Qianxue was finally convinced.
Hong Dali bought a planet with 20 million at the auction. She originally thought that he was just squandering, but now, she realized that preparing a planet that could be used to move the population whenever it was needed was something very important—when she got back, she had to find an opportunity to suggest it to the Elders.
Hong Dali continued making arrangements. “Qianxue, please contact Li Tianxing and Feng Wuhen for me. I don’t care what happened before this. I will not tolerate failure in this battle against the Zerg. Have them tell me what they need. As long as I have it, they can have it.”
“Okay, I will go now.” Although she was a Galaxy Aristocrat, subconsciously, Jiang Qianxue had no wish to refuse Hong Dali’s instructions.
That was because Jiang Qianxue really could not find anything wrong with Hong Dali’s arrangements.
Hong Dali turned to Yin Tianzong again. “Brother Tianzong, this is a very important battle. Since the Zerg have sent their mutants, there should be ordinary Zerg clearing the way. If the mutants can reach Earth within two weeks, the ordinary Zerg will probably enter the solar system within seven days. It’s too late to get supplies out to Earth. Brother Tianzong, I need your help to transport resources directly to the planet I bought. Send as much as you can. Send food, water, mobile accommodation and anything else needed by the immigrants.”
Yin Tianzong nodded fiercely. “Okay!” Then, Yin Tianzong said, “I will have people send those over. I will go to Earth with you. Hehe, it’s everyone’s responsibility to destroy the Zerg. I will not be a deserter.”
“Talk less.” Hong Dali did not stand on ceremony. He said, “Return to Brent right away. I’ll get in touch with Earth. Let’s get moving!”
“Okay!”
…
Inside the Galaxy Virtual World.
Hong Dali buried his head between Li Nianwei’s bosom and snuggled in…
He got blood from a nosebleed all over his face. Hong Dali was very satisfied with the effect. “Well, let’s go!”
Soon, inside the Government Office of Tianjing Virtual World.
“Dali, what is it, why are you so anxious?” When the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief saw the serious expression on his face after they entered the Government Office, they knew it must be something very serious.
After all, Hong Dali was a man who did not get serious easily. However, for him to stop smiling, there could only be one reason—it was a serious matter, and he had no choice but to deal with it seriously.
“The Zerg is headed towards Earth,” Hong Dali said in a grave voice. “According to my speculation, they will reach Earth’s atmosphere in about seven days, or at least enter the solar system.”
“What?!” Upon hearing the news, the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief were stunned!
Seven days! Only seven days! What could they do in seven days? Even a simple military exercise on Earth would take more than seven days to prepare!
But now, according to Hong Dali, the Zerg would reach Earth in about seven days?
“This is too serious, I can’t decide by myself.” The mysterious man knew that there was no time to hesitate. He stood up immediately. “Wu Di, bring Dali immediately to the Platinum Castle in the Virtual World. I will call for the leaders of all the countries. We have to hurry, this is an emergency.”
“Understood!”
Earth in the Virtual World, an island in the Pacific Ocean.
There was a silvery-white castle about fifty meters high standing here. It was a special building built by the people in this world for the heads of all the states to discuss matters.
It was very difficult to build on islands in the virtual world. Fortunately, they had King Squid. The mysterious man had brought him into the virtual world, saving them a lot of trouble.
As for getting there… the last time Deca went there, he brought the teleportation technology used in the Virtual World with him. Although it was somewhat basic, it was able to teleport the world leaders there with no problem…
Soon, the leaders of the world gathered.
Due to Hong Dali, the Heavenly State had become the true leader of the world. The other countries had divided themselves into several large areas.
Among them, Asia had acknowledged Heavenly State as its ruler and Jaban had completely surrendered. South America and North America had acknowledged Merika as their sovereign. Europe was made up of France, Britain, and Germany. Northern Europe was made up of Russia and Australia represented Southeast Asia and Africa. Thus, the world was separated into five major areas.
Right now, all the leaders who had power were gathered here.
Soon, everyone was seated.
“Dali, tell them everything you know.” The mysterious man knew that time waited for no man. Before he even sat down properly, he said, “Omit everything irrelevant, get to the point, save as much time as possible.”
