Chapter 1631 Leaving
Unlike other top ten experts who focused on their martial prowess, she was the only one who had a support system. After all, she was known as the number one Enchanter in the world.
She could help all the people under her, making her group to be stronger than any other group of the same level. This was the reason why she had a higher ranking compared to the rest.
Her threat level was simply higher than the rest, especially because she made the biggest mafia group in Chile.
She thought for a moment and glared at the brown-haired woman. "We currently have one thousand people in our group. You want me to sacrifice them to survive; Is that what you mean, Valerie?"
Yes. The one suggesting the plan earlier was none other than the Valkyrie, Valerie Guerrero.
Feeling the intense gaze from Alexa, she didn't fear confirming her plan. Of course, she also added, "I'm not saying it's sacrificing the people. All people have to work according to their proportion and those who are lucky shall survive. We're talking about a World Class Monster here… Instead of fighting against a World Class Monster that has prepared for this attack, it's better to take the other one on with surprise attacks.
"You, I, and everyone here are expected to fight to give an equal chance of survival." Valerie looked back at Alexa, showing how serious she was with this plan.
"What do you think, old man?" She glanced back at the old man. He was her most trusted aid, so she asked for his opinion at the very end.
"If we fight these sea creatures, we'll be attacked by whatever they're planning and swarmed by their number. Even if we use all our strength, we don't know how many of us will survive. My assumption, only some elites and half of the people here. After all, we'll be chased deeper to Paraguay or Argentina. Those two places have World Class Monsters as well.
"But if we follow that plan, we can indeed have a higher chance to survive. Most likely, a third of our group will survive… But if we can execute the plan carefully, half of us might be able to reach the base." He explained his thoughts on this plan.
His importance was shown by how Alexa fell into deep thought after listening to his explanation.
"Hmm? Do you think there are survivors in Mexico?" Alexa asked.
"I don't know. But if I try to understand what you're thinking, you must be planning to gather all the survivors from all countries in our path, right? From Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Colombia, and all the way to Mexico… With your ability, you can boost their abilities. Though there is one thing you should worry about.
"Not all of them will be a fighter, so they might even become our burden. Though, this is your decision to make as the head of our group."
Alexa contemplated for a moment. On the one hand, she didn't like the thought of abandoning or sacrificing people under her. This was the reason she could gain their loyalty. On the other hand, the world had just experienced the apocalypse.
She could take care of her subordinates in the past since the threat only came from the police, government, and other syndicates. But this time, there was another threat that could even crush a civilization, the monsters.
Clearly, her strength wouldn't be enough to protect all members of her organization.
'It seems that I have to be ruthless this time. The world has changed, so if I don't change, this group shall be destroyed.' Alexa took a deep breath and said, "Old man. Gather the people and get ready to leave. We'll sneak away before the enemies realize what we're planning to do.
"We'll move tonight and make sure no one can spot the preparation. Valerie, Ray. Your Griffith Family should be capable enough to find our path to that base, right?"
"Certainly." Ray and Valerie nodded. "Leave the path to us."
"What we need right now is speed, so don't pack up too much stuff. Just make sure it's enough for survival. Because we're going to pick up people in our path to strengthen our group, we will also slow down our paces to match them.
"The refugees are yours, Vicente. Make sure they can keep up with us. I want to set up a target. If possible, we have to reach the base within two weeks. So, I expect them to be either running or getting carried. Bring buses as well to pick them up.
"All our vanguards shall clean the path before they cross. If they don't wish to be rescued, then so be it. If they try to stop us, kill them without mercy. If they want to submit to us and fight for the sake of the group, we'll welcome them.
"No matter what, our Black Cross Group shall survive this ordeal. Understood?" Alexa glared at her people.
Everyone except for Ray and Valerie answered in unison. "Yes, Ma'am."
"Get to work!" Alexa waved her hand, dismissing them.
Surprisingly, the old man stayed on his spot, waiting for the rest to leave.
It seemed Alexa knew what he wanted to talk about as she asked, "So, do you think this is the right move, old man?"
"I don't know. It might guarantee a higher survival chance, but there's no telling what the people in that base do to us. After all, we're the Black Cross."
"That's true. I don't want to be someone's dog too." Alexa nodded while narrowing her eyes. "For now, I'll still go there. With the refugees we bring, the base should accept us. After that, our next move will be decided on how they react."
"Sounds good enough." The old man nodded. "Still, speed is everything. We will need all drivers to work in a shift so that we can reach our destination within two weeks. It's going to be dangerous, but this is a choice we must make."
