Sixth Street, within the towering walls.
This is the most prosperous area in the entire wasteland, a city that never sleeps built on ruins.
And in the center of this bustling world, there is a beautiful dome building, which is similar in shape to the Capitol Building, with the flag symbolizing unity flying above it.
It symbolizes power and is the brains of the entire Sixth District.
In the meeting hall in this building, the ten-member committee gathered around a round table.
Sixth Street has been in great shape lately. But what is surprising is that none of the dignitaries sitting here can see any joy on their faces.
As the boss of the Zhao Group, Zhao Chenwu is naturally one of them. Sitting directly opposite him is his business rival, Feng De, the boss of a giant arms company. Usually when they met, they would politely sarcastic words to each other, but this time they had sullen faces and neither of them spoke.
Sitting on the seat facing the door, a man with a Chinese character face and some gray temples coughed slightly, breaking the silence at the conference table.
Although the status of the ten-member committee is nominally equal, in this wasteland where the strong are respected, the right to speak is naturally proportional to strength.
Cao Jinsong, the boss of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce, has power not only in the Sixth District, but also has his mercenary base as far away as Su City. Occupying 60% of the market share of the pharmaceutical market in the Sixth District, although he is not involved in the arms industry, the private soldiers he controls are the most powerful in the Sixth District.
The "Prowler" tank is equipped with a particle cannon, equipped with thick physical armor and particle shields, and has both offensive power, defensive power and mobility. It is almost the strongest land combat unit in this wasteland.
And he has five such tanks.
"Everyone's time is precious. I think the reason why we are gathered here is not to stare at the air, right?" Cao Jinsong spread his hands and said straight to the point.
"Yes, let's start the meeting." Zhao Chenwu crossed his fingers and rested his elbows on the table.
"Seconded."
"That's right. I have a banquet later, so I'd better get it over with quickly."
"..."
After waiting quietly for the sound to subside, Cao Jinsong stretched out his hand and pressed it on the conference table, then spoke slowly.
"Although everyone may have already watched it. But I'd better play it again."
Blue light particles floated in the center of the round table, and a holographic image formed in the center, converging into a bust.
"Hello, everyone in Wanghai City."
The man was wearing a military uniform and looked arrogant.
"When you see this image. Our people are on their way."
"We all agree that you are sitting on the treasures of your predecessors, but you don't want to make progress. You are sitting on endless wealth, but you are content with the status quo and are greedy for pleasure. We can't wait any longer. I think we need to have a good chat."
"Of course, this doesn't mean that I'm here to discuss things with you."
"Yes, this is a declaration of war."
"Northern United Command District, Marshal of the Military Police Regiment, Jiang Beihai. Above."
The image disappears.
The conference table was eerily silent.
Zhao Chenwu took a deep breath. He stretched out his hand and gently pulled the collar, and looked at the colleagues sitting around him with a little embarrassment. Or angry, or surprised, or disdainful, or timid.
Feng De, his archrival sitting opposite him, picked up a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead, changing his sitting position as if on pins and needles.
However, Cao Jinsong, who was sitting in the chief position, looked very calm, and there was no visible change in the expression on his face.
"They are crazy, they are just a bunch of lunatics... The Northern United Command Area? If I remember correctly, it is 1,500 kilometers from there to here! Are you kidding? Did they fly here? Or are they talking about their people? Can you defeat the alien species and zombies in half of China?" A tall middle-aged man yelled disdainfully.
"And it's still a winter march. With a 1,500-kilometer winter supply line, don't their people need to eat?"
"Haha, you are so confident that you can win? Are you pretending that there is no one in our sixth neighborhood?"
"..."
Looking quietly at the members of the round table, Cao Jinsong remained silent. His index finger tapped rhythmically on the table.
"Winter expedition... Why does it have to be in winter? In our opinion, this is a very stupid move, but why do they insist on doing it?" Taking a deep breath, Zhao Chenwu said.
Cao Jinsong glanced at him in surprise and nodded slightly.
After hearing this question being raised, the agitated members of Congress calmed down. They were all so angry at that marshal's arrogance just now, if they think about it carefully. There is indeed a problem.
"According to the information my people inquired about in Luzhou, people from the Northern United Command District appeared there. They are setting up outposts in the suburbs of Luzhou, and there seem to be a lot of people." Cao Jinsong said slowly.
"Luzhou? Could it be..." A council member sitting next to Cao Jinsong suddenly changed his face.
"Yes, they used the underground highway." Cao Jinsong nodded.
"That thing is broken into several sections. How could they come here with that thing?" someone said disdainfully.
Transportation facilities such as highways, railway tracks, and maglevs all received special attention during the war, and underground highways were no exception. NATO's satellite weapons dropped 57 heavy-pressure bombs, cutting off several sections of the underground highway used by AC for the distribution of military supplies during the war.
"However, no matter what, the underground highway from the Northwest District to Luzhou has been repaired, so their talents can appear there, right?"
After hearing Cao Jinsong's words, everyone fell silent again.
Seeing that no one spoke, Cao Jinsong paused and continued: "Since it is a declaration of war, then the war is a foregone conclusion. We will naturally respond to their arrogance and stupidity with guns and artillery. There is no doubt about this. However, in this There are a lot of things that puzzle me... Aren't you interested? What prompted them to make such a thoughtless move, declaring war on a strange force 1,500 kilometers away in winter."
"He mentioned a treasure, but the question is, what exactly is the treasure he is talking about? We have lived here for so many years and we haven't discovered it. Where did this bullshit treasure come from?" A man with a beer belly couldn't help but curse.
"The purpose of marching in winter is to avoid alien species. And they use underground passages. Naturally, they are not considering avoiding alien species along the way. There is only one possibility... Their destination can only be reached in winter." Ten fingers Crossing each other, Zhao Chenwu said in a deep voice.
Cao Jinsong nodded approvingly and looked at all the members present.
"Member Zhao and I have similar ideas. In the city center, if there is any place in Wanghai City that we have not yet set foot in, it must be the city center." (.)
