#193 - Chapter 193 Gong Kaiming leaks secrets
"If we don't cooperate, the resettlement camp is doomed. Only through cooperation can we survive," Mayor Gong said.
"What do you mean by that?" Zuo Wenshan didn't understand.
"Brother Zuo, let me remind you, think about the 2055 Human Survival White Paper we just mentioned," Mayor Gong said.
In fact, Niu Xingwang had told him about this.
Back then, when Niu Xingwang was preparing to return to Binjiang to establish an underground base, he had revealed some information about this.
Although he only hinted at it a little, it was enough for Mayor Gong to understand the key.
"White Paper?" Zuo Wenshan paced back and forth, pondering for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
"Brother Gong, just tell me directly!" Zuo Wenshan sighed.
"Let me ask you, what is this White Paper for?" Mayor Gong asked.
"Isn't this White Paper just publishing some technical solutions? Of course, it's to guide us on how to build a base!" Zuo Wenshan replied.
"Build what kind of base?" Mayor Gong asked.
"Of course, an underground base! Look at your question, doesn't everyone know that?" Zuo Wenshan laughed.
"That's right! An underground base!" Gong Kaiming emphasized, looking at him.
Zuo Wenshan was stunned. What's wrong with an underground base? There's nothing wrong with it!
"Do you know why it's not a above-ground base?" Mayor Gong asked the question that Niu Xingwang had asked him.
"Why?" Zuo Wenshan was puzzled.
"Let me ask you again, do you know where the people from the Central Military Region have gone?" Mayor Gong asked.
Zuo Wenshan thought for a while, shook his head, and asked:
"Do you know?"
"I don't know either!" Gong Kaiming laughed.
"You! Alright, Brother Gong, just tell me directly, don't keep me in suspense!" Zuo Wenshan was anxious.
"Although I don't know where the people from the Central Military Region have gone, it doesn't stop me from making a guess. Do you think it might be related to this plan? If I remember correctly, the release date of the White Paper and the adjustment time of the military region are about the same, right?" Mayor Gong said.
"Are you saying that the Central Military Region's troops went to build underground bases?" Zuo Wenshan asked.
"Very likely!" Mayor Gong said.
"But why is that? Judging from the current situation, it's only a matter of time before the zombies are eliminated. I don't think there's any need to build underground bases at all!" Zuo Wenshan said.
"You went to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Binjiang some time ago. How is their underground base?" Mayor Gong asked.
"The amount of construction is huge, and ordinary people can't do it," Zuo Wenshan replied.
"Then why would the Huatong Chamber of Commerce go to so much trouble to build an underground base?" Mayor Gong asked.
"To show off their wealth!" Zuo Wenshan replied without thinking.
"Brother Zuo, I'm only telling you this. This matter is very important, don't reveal it!" Mayor Gong said quietly.
"Don't worry, tell me!" Zuo Wenshan patted his chest and said.
"The real reason the council issued the White Paper is that in the near future, the surface will not be suitable for human survival," Mayor Gong said.
"What? Impossible!" Zuo Wenshan didn't believe it at all.
"Otherwise, why would the White Paper provide you with a construction plan for a life support system? Isn't that to let you build an underground base completely isolated from the outside world?" Mayor Gong said.
"Brother Gong, are you serious?" Zuo Wenshan confirmed.
"Think about it yourself!" Mayor Gong glanced at him.
Zuo Wenshan stopped talking and began to analyze carefully.
"No wonder Zongzhen Yue doesn't care about the resettlement camp. If that's the case, it makes sense," Zuo Wenshan said.
"Let me tell you, from my analysis during this period, the military and the council are hopeless. Because that White Paper is the council's final explanation to the resettlement camp. The only ones we can really count on are the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild. Only they have the strength to build underground bases for us," Mayor Gong said.
"That's right!" Zuo Wenshan finally understood.
"As for the Red Lotus Sect, in my opinion, they are not to be feared. As long as Brother Zuo speeds up the implementation of cooperation with the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and revitalizes the economy of the resettlement camp, all of this will naturally be solved," Mayor Gong said.
"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Gong. I've been enlightened! I'll treat you today, let's have a good drink!" Zuo Wenshan was in a good mood and was generous.
What Dongfang Chen wanted was this kind of effect.
The destructive power of the Red Lotus Sect must be increased, so that the Chamber of Commerce will develop more rapidly.
......
Mozhou City, downtown area.
After a day of rest, the first batch of Red Lotus Sect's Red-Clad Holy Envoys had basically recovered.
At this time, they had all gathered in the base's hall.
Since Wan Peng showed his face the night before yesterday, he had not appeared again.
All matters were being handled by the 18 Protectors.
The reason, of course, was because Wan Peng was just an empty shell and didn't have strong strength. He was far inferior to the 18 Protectors.
If this level of strength were to appear in front of a group of followers, he would be exposed sooner or later. So the best way was to maintain a sense of mystery and never show his face unless absolutely necessary.
In the hall, the 18 Protectors stood on the stage, and the 78 followers stood in two rows below the stage.
