Sage rushed to the communication center. As she arrived before the big screen, she took a deep breath, a staff member connected the call and projected the video feed onto the screen. A handsome-looking young man appeared on the screen after a while.It was Strider. Sage covered her mouth with one hand when she saw him, while the latter asked, "How have you been?""You're alive!" Sage said excitedly. "Yes, I am."Sage couldn't express her emotions in words. She hadn't known Strider for long, but because they were in the same organization, they had been in contact before the reset happened.The truth was, she had fallen for Strider from the moment she saw him. At the end of the day, Sage was a young girl growing into a woman. She yearned to have a relationship of her own."How have you been?" Sage asked.Strider replied, "I asked you that question first.""I'm in Geras City. We've established defenses here and have over seven hundred thousand people, approximately two hundred

The pair ended the conversation after a few more exchanges. Sage heaved a sigh of relief as she now saw hope for the future. Juan said, "If the people at Evercrest are willing to help us, there's hope for Geras."It was no simple task to transport supplies from Evercrest to Geras, but the city would be in ruins if Strider did not step up. No living being could survive without food. "Tell everyone to gather for a conference. We need to discuss how we're going to help the guys at Evercrest deliver those food supplies to us," Sage calmly said. "Yes, ma'am."Thus, an emergency meeting was held in Geras.***After the call ended, Strider silently stared at the screen. They had successfully reclaimed the base on the mountain after the last assault, and he had been building up the basic facilities required. Most of the damage caused by monsters had since been repaired. Aside from that, they had large amounts of food supplies since the base itself was originally a main camp. Str

No one was willing to give up on the citizens in Geras. Everyone wanted to do something for them, however little it may be.Strider raised his hand, silencing all the cheers and shouts. He calmly said, "A million tons will be enough for them to get through their current disaster, but it won’t be easy to transport all of that food there. Some of you may die. With that, are you all still willing to do it?""The b*stard took away my family, so I'll never resign my fate to him, even if I have to die in the process. I'll do it, sir!" a young man shouted."Me too." "Give us your orders, Sir Strider. We'll do whatever it takes to get that food to Geras, even if it means we have to lay down our lives.""We'll never retreat, we'll never surrender, and we'll never betray!" the soldiers chanted.Their hearts pumped rapidly, each and every one of them filled with extreme hatred for the shadow in the sky. Their hatred ran so deep that they would do anything it took to take it down. Strider

It took them five hours to finalize their strategy. Although the plan was far from perfect, they had taken into account every detail they could.Five hours later, the teams were fully assembled and the food was loaded onto the train. Several carriages were loaded with a total of one million tons of food. The aerial teams and three massive cargo planes then took off. The fighter jets circled the cargo planes, providing an escort as they departed. Aurelion was in charge of aerial command, while Mountain was on ground command. Communications were established so that they could stay in touch throughout the mission.Thus, a hundred thousand men responsible for the food supply transportation set out from Evercrest Mountain. The trains roared to life, and the jets streaked across the sky. Armored vehicles sped out of the base, and soldiers were seated on top of the trains. The train's escorts were in tanks or on the roofs in an organized formation. ***"Aerial team, stay vigilant for bir

Adrian rubbed his neck, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.Rozi seemed puzzled as she asked, "Has Strider always been so reclusive? How could they possibly transport food in these circumstances?"Although Rozi did not understand modern military tactics, she knew it was impossible for food to be transported between cities. Of course, there was a chance they would succeed if the distance apart was not too great. Adrian knew Strider's character very well and shook his head helplessly. "He's a strong and independent lone ranger, plus it's difficult to figure out what he's thinking. However, he always has his reasons behind his actions. I'm sure he knows what he's doing." Rozi frowned and gained a pretty negative impression of Strider based on his actions. To her, any normal leader would never make such an impulsive decision. "They've got a tough battle up ahead,” she commented.The cost of moving ahead with such a plan would be heavy. However, if Strider did not take action, G
