Chapter 1728 - 889: Day 3_2

EITHER IT'S LIKE CENTRAL EARTH, WHERE AFTER INTENSE STRUGGLES, THE WEAK ARE UTTERLY DEFEATED, CONSUMED WHOLE, THE STRONG PREVAIL, DOMINATING EVERYTHING.

OR IT'S LIKE THE EAST SEA, WHERE PEOPLE REALIZE THAT FIGHTING ENDLESSLY ISN'T THE SOLUTION, TAKING A STEP BACK, ACKNOWLEDGING THE REALITY, AND COEXISTING HARMONIOUSLY.

BUT NOW THE WEST SEA HAS TURNED INTO A BLOODTHIRSTY SWAMP.

NO CONSENSUS! NO PEACE TALKS! NO STOP!

TODAY YOU KILL ME, TOMORROW I KILL YOU, AND THE DAY AFTER WE TEAM UP TO TAKE OUT OUR NEIGHBOR…

CHAOS, TOO MUCH CHAOS.

WITH THE ONGOING SUPPLY OF VAST ARMAMENTS, THE INTENSITY OF THE STRUGGLE HAS REPEATEDLY ESCALATED, THE WEIGHT OF HATRED AND THE DEPTH OF DIVISIONS HAVE REACHED HAIR-RAISING LEVELS.

FIRST THE ROT SWAMP ATTACKS THE BROKEN REEF, THEN AFTER THE BROKEN REEF FINISHES WITH ROT SWAMP, IT STRIKES THE SEA ABYSS CORNER, ONLY TO BE POUNDED DOWN BY GRAY PORT, THEN HAIMEN WASTELAND COLLECTION JUMPS OUT TO INTERVENE, ATTRACTING A SIEGE…

CONDITIONS JUST AGREED UPON YESTERDAY ARE THROWN AWAY TODAY, AND AGREEMENTS SIGNED TODAY ARE NULLIFIED BY THE AFTERNOON.

WITHOUT THE RULES AND MEDIATION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, THE MATCHING CONDITIONS THEMSELVES, ONCE LIKE A DUNG PIT, HAVE TOTALLY REVEALED THEIR FLAWS.

WITHOUT STRATEGICALLY DECISIVE SUPPRESSION, THE SPEED OF DETERIORATION IS LIKE JUMPING OFF A BUILDING.

EVERYONE IS OVERWHELMED."

FROM THE START OF THE ELECTION UNTIL NOW, IN JUST UNDER THREE DAYS, MORE THAN TWENTY BRANCHES HAVE BEEN NEARLY FIGHTING TO DEATH, DESCENDING INTO TOTAL CHAOS.

SO MUCH SO… WHEN THE FEDERATION'S SPOKESPERSONS FINALLY MANAGED TO GET A HANDLE ON THE SITUATION INTERNALLY, AND TRIED TO STRATEGICALLY GAIN SOME OVERSEAS VOTES, THEY FOUND THEMSELVES IN A MESS OF CHAOS, WITH THE ENTIRE SITUATION TURNING INTO UTTER DISARRAY.

FULL PANIC!

THEY CAN'T FIND ANY ENTRY POINT, EVERY BRANCH IS VOCIFEROUSLY DEMANDING MONEY, MEN, FOOD, AND USEFUL SUPPORT BEYOND JUST MORAL SUPPORT, YET AFTER RECEIVING THESE, STILL THEY CAN'T ESTABLISH ANY RELIABLE, STABLE AGREEMENT, EVEN THE REPRESENTATIVES ARE CHANGING AS FREQUENTLY AS CHANGING CLOTHES…

BESIDES, ACCORDING TO THE WRETCHED ELECTION RULES OF THE WASTELAND, THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS NEEDED FOR VOTING AND WITHDRAWING, EVEN THE MOST BASIC TRUST COULDN'T BE ESTABLISHED, WHO DARES TO PLACE BIG BETS!

YEARS OF SECRET OPERATION NOW EVAPORATES RAPIDLY.

SO MUCH SO, THE ONCE CONFIDENT AND READY FOR A BIG SCORE EAST CITY PILLAR, MR. MENG, IS NOW COMPLETELY DISTRAUGHT.

SWEARING BLINDLY FOR HALF AN HOUR OVER THE INTELLIGENCE REPORTS GATHERED.

JI, ARE YOU CRAZY?

WHO CAN STILL FAIL TO SEE WHO THE BIGGEST TROUBLEMAKER IS IN THE WEST SEA NOW?

RELYING ON A BUY-ONE-GET-ONE DEAL FOR SORTING THE INVENTORY, CAUSING AN ARMS RACE AMONG ALL BRANCHES, MAKING THE INTENSITY OF CONFLICTS INCREASINGLY OUT OF CONTROL AND ESCALATING, WHILE CONSTANTLY STIRRING THE POT, THROWING THE ENTIRE WEST SEA INTO FAGAN FIGHTING…

FROM BULK WHOLESALING TO PIECE-FOR-PIECE RETAILING, HE SQUEEZED OUT COUNTLESS COMPETITORS, AND NOW SEVEN CITIES HAS BECOME THE BIGGEST TUMOR IN THE WEST SEA.

AND YET THE SEVEN CITIES WASTELAND COLLECTION HAS NO INTENTION OF TAKING ADVANTAGE TO EXPAND, NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO EAT THE MEAT AT THE DOORSTEP, ONLY TAKING MONEY AND NOTHING ELSE.

EVEN IF CUSTOMERS HAVE NO MONEY, THEY CAN STILL GET LOANS, INTEREST-FREE!

IT'S ALL ABOUT NOT COMING EMPTY-HANDED, AND REALLY TREATING CUSTOMERS LIKE FAMILY, HE REALLY GIVES THEM THE GOOD STUFF!

AT THIS CRITICAL JUNCTURE, THE SEVEN CITIES HAVE BEEN STIRRING UNRESTRAINEDLY IN THE WEST SEA, COMPLETELY DISREGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES AND HAVING NO KNOWLEDGE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.

ANYWAY, I DON'T WANT TO RUN, I DON'T WANT TO WIN, I EVEN DON'T WANT TO MAKE MONEY…

HEY, I'M JUST PLAYING!

CAN YOU STOP ME FROM GIVING BENEFITS TO MY FAMILY?

WITH THE WEST SEA IN SUCH CHAOS, WHILE LOCAL FACTORS ARE AT PLAY, SEVEN CITIES AT LEAST HAS TO SHOULDER HALF THE BLAME. NOW WITH LEADERS AGGRESSIVELY ADDING FUEL, EVERYONE IS CALLING FRIENDS, INVITING EXPERTS, TOTALLY BLINDED BY THE KILLING.

AT THIS STAGE, DON'T MENTION MENG FENGZUO, EVEN HAN HUI COMING IN PERSON WOULDN'T HELP.

WHEN HE ONCE SECRETLY PUSHED THE WAVES ENJOYING THE CONVENIENCE OF THE WEST SEA 'EVERYONE LIKE MAGGOTS,' HE NEVER EXPECTED THAT THIS ONCE MOCKERY AND CONTEMPTUOUS 'ATTRIBUTE' WOULD TURN INTO SUCH A HASSLE.

THOUGH THE SITUATION IS NOT UNSOLVABLE.

AFTER ALL, THE WASTELAND'S BEASTS ARE CREATURES OF INTEREST; AS LONG AS THERE'S BENEFIT AND ADVANTAGE, EVEN THE GREATEST HATRED AND CONFLICTS CAN BE EASED.

AND NOW, DESPITE THE DISGUSTING CONDITION, THERE ARE STILL WAYS OUT.

EVEN IF HE DOES NOTHING, AS LONG AS EVERYONE FIGHTS FEROCIOUSLY ENOUGH, KILLS ENOUGH, WITH NOBODY LEFT ALIVE, THEN NATURALLY, THEY CAN'T FIGHT ANYMORE.

BUT THE KEY IS, HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE?

A MONTH, TWO MONTHS? OR THREE MONTHS?

DOES HE HAVE THAT TIME!

THIS IS WHAT'S TRULY DISGUSTING!

THE WASTELAND ELECTION HAS ONLY BEEN A WEEK, AND NOW IT'S ALREADY THREE DAYS IN. ONCE THIS WEEK IS OVER AND THE SITUATION STABILIZES, WHAT USE WILL HE STILL HAVE?

THE VEGETABLES ARE ALREADY COLD!

ON THE CURRENT WASTELAND RANKING, THINGS CAN BE SAID TO BE GRADUALLY CLEARING UP…

THROUGH ITS HERITAGE AND INFLUENCE, HAN HUI'S VOTES HAVE RISEN TO ELEVENTH PLACE AMID THE SWING AND CHANGES, CAN BE SAID TO BE FIRMLY IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, SUCCESSFULLY ON SHORE WITHOUT A SCRATCH.

AND THERE'S EVEN MORE UPWARD MOMENTUM. IF HE CAN USE RELATIONS WITH FOUR-DIRECTION CITY TO GET HELP FROM SOUTH CITY, HE MIGHT RANK AMONG THE TOP SEVEN OR EVEN TOP FIVE!

BECAUSE OF THIS, MENG FENGZUO IS IMPATIENT… IF HE MISSES THE CHANCE TO HELP DURING THE CRISIS, BUT EVEN 'FLOWER ADDITION TO BROCADE' WON'T BE HIS DOING, THEN WHEN EAST CITY REWARDS EFFORTS, WHEN OTHERS RISE TO PROMINENCE, THE ONLY THING WAITING FOR HIM IS LIKELY TO BE A COLD BENCH.

WHAT MAKES HIS HEAD SPIN IS THE MIRACLE WHERE SOMEONE OUT OF THE BLUE FLIES FROM THE BOTTOM TO BREAK THROUGH THE BARRIER OF THE 20TH PLACE, RISING TO THE 17TH POSITION IN JUST A DAY.

——CLIFF CITY WILDERNESS COLLECTION·CHEN XINGZHOU!

AFTER A THREE-DAY STEALTH, CHEN XINGZHOU'S VOTES HAVE SHOT UP LIKE A ROCKET, LEAPING TO THE CURRENT LEVEL, ASTOUNDING COUNTLESS PEOPLE!

NOT ONLY HAS HE TAKEN ALL FIVE VOTES FROM HAI PROVINCE, AND SIX FROM YUNZHOU, BUT ALSO PULLED OUT THREE FROM THE KUNWU PLATEAU. EVEN AMONG THE TEN VOTES IN THE FAR WEST OF THE FEDERATION IN SUZHOU, HE QUIETLY GAINED SEVEN!

BESIDES THESE, INCLUDING THE THREE VOTES FROM THOUSAND ISLANDS, AS WELL AS TWO FROM WHITE TOWER CITY AND RED GOLDEN CAPITAL OF CENTRAL EARTH!

AT THE SAME TIME, ON VARIOUS INTELLIGENCE PLATFORMS, A NEW HEADLINE ARRIVES——UNDER THE ADVOCACY AND LEADERSHIP OF THE CLIFF CITY WASTELAND COLLECTION'S WANLI INVESTMENT GROUP, YUNZHOU'S SOUTH CAI, SUZHOU'S GANQUAN, AND OTHER GROUPS HAVE SIGNED AGREEMENTS TO INVEST AND FORM A NEW SOUTHEAST JOINT INVESTMENT ENTITY, BETTING ON MARITIME SHIPPING, AND DECIDING TO EXTENSIVELY ENTER THE MARKETS OF THOUSAND ISLANDS, CENTRAL EARTH AND EVEN THE EMPIRE...

IF IT WERE JUST AN ORDINARY BUSINESS COLLABORATION, IT WOULD BE NO BIG DEAL, BUT THE KEY IS THE LONG LIST OF NAMES AND A BUNCH OF NAMES ON IT.

ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH THE WASTELAND KNOWS THAT MOST OF THESE NAMES ARE ACTUALLY THE ALIASES OF THE WASTELAND'S VARIOUS BRANCHES!

IN OTHER WORDS, THE ENTIRE FEDERATION'S SOUTHEAST REGION, ALL THOSE STRUGGLING IN REMOTE CITIES, UNDER CHEN XINGZHOU'S CONNECTIONS, NOW SHOW A TREND OF FUSING INTO ONE!

THE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO BREAK THROUGH PAST BARRIERS, UNITE ALL HEARTS, OVERCOME GEOGRAPHIC AND LOW SUPPLY LIMITATIONS, AND JOIN FORCES TO SNATCH FOOD FROM THE WORLD!

IN THE CHAOS AND STRUGGLE, AS EVERYONE FOCUSES ELSEWHERE, CHEN XINGZHOU HAS UNASSUMINGLY UNITED MOST OF THE SPOKESPERSONS IN HAI PROVINCE, YUNZHOU, AND SUZHOU INTO AN ALLIANCE!

WITH THE CASE OF THE COAST IN FRONT, WITH THE CHANNELS OF CENTRAL EARTH IN HAND, WITH LOGISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION ADVANTAGES LIKE SEVEN CITIES, AND EVEN THE WASTELAND AGREEMENTS FROM THE EMPIRE… IN SUCH A SHORT TIME, CHEN XINGZHOU HAS COMPLETED THE CRUCIAL STEP, CROSSING THE DRAGON GATE AT ONCE, FROM THE WEAKEST SPOKESPERSON STUCK IN THE CORNER OF CLIFF CITY AND THE LIMITED SIZE AND STAKES OF CLIFF CITY, HE HAS ACHIEVED A LEAP, BECOMING AN INDISPENSABLE REPRESENTATIVE WITHIN THE WASTELAND!

THE SPEED SO SWIFT, THE MANEUVER SO COMPLEX, THE TIMING SO SUBTLE, EVEN THOSE UNSAVVY OF THE INSIDE STORY CAN STILL BE LEFT IN AWE.

EVEN SIMPLE THINKING CAN TELL HOW RIDICULOUS IT IS TO EXPECT MERE WORDS AND PAINTING PICTURES TO PERSUADE THE WASTELAND'S BEASTS, THE SIZE OF CLIFF CITY NATURALLY CAN'T BULLY THEM INTO SUBMISSION, WANTING TO MAKE SO MANY INCONSISTENT AND CAPRICIOUS BRANCHES LINK TOGETHER AND COMPLY WITH ONE PERSON'S COMMANDS AND GUIDANCE, IS SIMPLY HELL DIFFICULTY.

YET SURPRISINGLY, THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FEDERATION, NO ONE ELSE CAN DO IT BUT HIM!

"BECAUSE HE GIVES ENOUGH."

IN THE OFFICE ON LUO ISLAND, JI JUE GLANCING AT THE DUMBFOUNDED LING SHUO, LET OUT A QUIET LAUGH: "AT THE SAME TIME, COMPARED TO OTHER TOP PLAYERS…"

"HE IS WEAK ENOUGH."
