Chapter 1375: Chapter 1380: Planning Ahead

The attitude of the Organization of Water is quite unified, without any opposing voices, only Kate quietly said, "Actually, I think..."

Looking up at Yang Yi, Kate finally cautiously said, "If it’s really possible to escape, um, I think, you should be qualified to get on the spaceship, right?"

After all, things are different.

To speak realistically, there are quite a few people in the Organization of Water, but not many core members. But if aliens really come, and the Grey-cloaked People indeed have a chance to escape, then perhaps, maybe, Yang Yi might have a tiny bit of hope of boarding the spaceship and escaping with them, but as for others, it’s certain that they won’t have this chance.

Since there’s no chance to escape anyway, why not stay and give it a try? In the end, everyone’s going to die, and for these desperados, how should they choose anyway?

But Kate is different. In her view, if Yang Yi has a chance to escape, then of course, he should, because of love. It’s a simple logic.

"I don’t think I have a chance to escape, it’s impossible. I don’t believe the Grey-cloaked People would give me ten spots to take others with me. Such a thing is really impossible."

Kate whispered, "But what if the spaceship is really big? The kind that can hold a lot of people?"

Yang Yi laughed and said, "But the problem is, the spaceship can’t possibly be very big. If it were big, it would’ve been discovered long ago. And also, we shouldn’t be discussing this now, should we? Actually, even if there was really a spaceship, even if it were really possible to escape, my principle is still to resist, not to escape."

Kate stopped talking, and Yang Yi shrugged and smiled, "Alright, actually, we still can’t determine the truth of this matter. It might be best to find out it’s just a ridiculous lie. Who knows? Maybe the aliens are just coming for sightseeing, or research, like when we study wildlife on the African savannah. Just a glance is enough, who knows."

It’s a reason that isn’t a reason, but in the end, it might just be the truth, or the final result, because with such matters, you really never know.

However, the preparations must be done, otherwise, it would be a disservice to these insider insights.

Yang Yi coughed lightly, clearing his throat, and said, "But the preparatory work definitely needs to be done. Um, what kind of preparations should we make? Everyone, share your thoughts."

Boer said weakly, "What can it be, nothing but food and weapons and wealth. What I can manage is wealth, so a large reserve of gold must be maintained. When paper money becomes worthless, precious metals like gold and silver will still have trading value."

Brian said sternly, "From my experience, in places experiencing famine, or during wartime, money is the least important thing. During a famine, food is the most important asset. In a place of war, weapons are hard currency."

Boer gave a wry smile, "That’s why I placed money last. You all handle other things, and as for me, I’m starting to purchase a batch of gold and store it in a secret, safe location. Even if this world really comes to an end, we need to be rich."

Yang Yi spread his hands, and said, "So, the Grey-cloaked People stockpile gold, and the cleaners collect weapons."

Boer breathed out, "Yes, we seized a batch of gold from the Grey-cloaked People. Then, I’ve investigated, and right now, the international gold price has been stable, though large transactions of gold have increased. But the price has remained stable. It’s crucial to know that gold prices are strongly correlated with futures and stock market transactions. The increase in gold transactions hasn’t drawn too much market attention, which should be the result of the Grey-cloaked People’s influence."

Yang Yi nodded, then suddenly asked Annastasia, "There’s a question, if the Grey-cloaked People really plan to leave Earth, why would they stockpile so much gold?"

Lives are at stake, what good is money?

Or abandoning everything to board the spaceship, is it just to add weight with all that gold?

So, Yang Yi’s question is not just irrelevant, it’s inherently impossible to think too deeply about. To truly figure something out, the Organization of Water would have yet another task that, even if pursued with all their efforts, might not yield results, so it’s best to set this question aside for now.

Resources are limited and there are so many essential tasks that need doing, there’s really no time to spare.

"A few critical survival factors: shelter, water, food, weapons, medicine. We have many people, so we need to prepare many places and many things. Thankfully, these are all things that can be arranged by spending some money, much simpler than establishing a safe house. But choosing locations will require some careful thought."

After Annastasia slowly finished speaking, Zhang Yong immediately exclaimed, "Africa, we must go to Africa. That place is great; you won’t starve, and the key is it’s sparsely populated."

Brian spread his hands, "Wait a minute, here’s the question: are we building a base for combat, or just a refuge?"

Yang Yi exhaled softly, then spoke to Anna, "I’ll leave this matter for you to handle. I think, regardless, we should prepare. Even if we don’t end up needing it, it’s good if someone related to us might."

Anna nodded, "Okay, I know what to do."

At this moment, Jethro spread his hands, "Looks like I’ll definitely be in charge of the weapons. I think the cleaners’ approach is good, needing no electronic equipment, simple to use, easy to store in bulk. Too simple. You find a place, and I’ll transport the weapons there, ready for storage. Um, will enough to arm an infantry division be sufficient?"

Zhang Yong laughed, "Are you really planning to start a world war? An entire division’s equipment, we’ll need space to store that."

Anna said in a deep voice, "Don’t think too much. We just want to prepare a refuge where we can live longer and more comfortably than others. And it’s something to resort to when there’s no other choice, so don’t scale it too big. Finish the easy parts first, then consider other matters."

Yang Yi sighed, "That’s right. So, let’s stop here about these matters. Next, we need to discuss more realistic and urgent things."

After drawing everyone’s attention back, Yang Yi held up two fingers, "There are two things waiting to be resolved now. One is to send Xiao Ran and Zhang Yong to the Grey-cloaked People for treatment, and the other matter is how to execute the attack plan against Big Ivan. I initially intended to carry out both at the same time, but..."

After pausing for a moment, Yang Yi said sternly, "I still don’t dare to completely trust the Grey-cloaked People, so I plan to ensure Xiao Ran and Zhang Yong are fully staffed and prepared when they go for treatment, so that if there’s any issue, we can deploy all our forces. So, let’s first resolve Big Ivan."

Brian shrugged, "Alright, then let’s deal with Big Ivan first."
