Chapter 1136: Chapter 1132: Strange Request

As Xu Haishui uttered these words, Miao Luo immediately made a face as if he had eaten something disgusting, then said discontentedly, "Vice President Xu, that’s not right. For this item, even if someone offered me a city, I wouldn’t sell. Many people want it, but I haven’t given it to anyone. You might not know the specific function of this item, right? Although the stuff on it is incomplete, it at least gives people a clue to manufacture an A-level exoskeleton battle suit. However, the things on it are quite complex and require a lot of manpower and resources to research. We, the Dongsheng Co-management, no longer have the time. This item, consider it a gift from us to the Peace Party."

"A gift? That could work..." Xu Haishui caressed the blueprint, nodded, then tucked it into his bag. Unlike the Dongsheng Co-management, the Peace Party had time, even if others didn’t see it that way, but how he saw it was all that mattered.

After securing the blueprint, Xu Haishui shifted his gaze back to Miao Luo to ask the question he was most eager to ask.

"There’s something that puzzles me, if, in your eyes, the gap between the Peace Party and the Hidden Dragon Party is so great, why would you still choose us?"

Upon Xu Haishui’s inquiry, there was no sign of surprise on Miao Luo’s face; it seemed he had anticipated that Xu Haishui would ask this. He replied, "As I told you before, the population at Cloud Gorge Base is vast. While a large population base can bring great benefits, simultaneously, it’s a significant problem to keep so many people alive."

"The day before yesterday, when I arrived in the United District, I first checked the size of your cultivated land. Vice President, you might not be aware of how large your current cultivated area is. Just as people outside say, the United District won’t lack food. Even the cultivated land that Cloud Gorge Base owns doesn’t reach half of that of the United District, and this half has to support the food and drink of sixteen million people. So, the situation at Cloud Gorge Base is also not optimistic."

"If a shortage of food occurs, Cloud Gorge Base could collapse into chaos at any moment. Those foreign populations at Cloud Gorge Base who have been oppressed for a long time will rebel. Vice President, imagine if a food shortage occurs at Cloud Gorge Base, the ruling class there will naturally prioritize providing food to their elites first, followed by the middle class, then the local population, who are of course us, the Chinese people. As for the foreign population, if they can starve, let them starve; if not, let them die. However, once a food shortage arises, the available food will hardly solve the hunger of all the lower class, as I’ve just described the most ideal case, but reality often doesn’t pan out this way."

"More likely, don’t even mention those at the lower levels, perhaps even those in the middle levels will not have their needs fully met. This alone is just for Cloud Gorge Base, and don’t doubt the possibility of this happening; it only requires one accident, and the food shortage issue can occur, such as a zombie wave! The territory governed by Dongsheng Co-management has become part of the Cloud Gorge Base area. In such a situation, those guys in Cloud Gorge Base won’t care about the survival of Dongsheng Co-management. Think about it, why would they cherish something easily obtained?"

As Miao Luo spoke, Xu Haishui’s eyes twinkled, and soon, wearing a half-smile, he looked at Miao Luo and said strangely, "What if a food shortage also occurs in my United District? Do you think we would care about your Dongsheng Co-management?"

"No, you wouldn’t," Miao Luo said with a smile, showing no sign of worry as he continued, "Moreover, this also marks a difference between you and those guys at Cloud Gorge Base, a difference in thinking. The overlord of South China, your president, Li Henian, was just a minor figure before the Apocalypse, like most others, which results in a different outlook on things compared to the upper echelons of Cloud Gorge Base."

"Even if my Dongsheng Co-management is not as strong as your Peace Party or Cloud Gorge Base, it is still a major power. Just giving it up like this, don’t you find it regrettable?"

As Miao Luo spoke, he laughed. Xu Haishui also watched him, and gradually, both of them burst into laughter.

"That’s doable, but I have one demand."

"Of course!"

Xu Haishui’s smile vanished, and he said seriously, "Since that’s the case, then I won’t hold back. First, open your checkpoints, let soldiers from my Peace Party enter and exit Dongsheng Co-management without hindrance, no questions asked. Second, allow my military to be stationed within Dongsheng Co-management without objection. Third, align all actions of Dongsheng Co-management with the highest priority of the United District. Well, that’s all." After saying this, Xu Haishui looked at Miao Luo.

His demands would undoubtedly turn the entire Dongsheng Co-management into the backyard of the United District. Logically, these are demands that no one would agree to.

However, knowing Xu Haishui himself had said this, he didn’t see any expression of anger on Miao Luo’s face. Instead, with a smile, he said easily, "Of course, that’s possible."

"Huh?" Xu Haishui was momentarily stunned. Soon, he cursed inwardly. The terms were modest; perhaps the other side had already guessed he would make such demands and was prepared for even more outrageous ones. His actual demands hadn’t even reached the other side’s threshold of tolerance. Meanwhile, Xu Haishui grew more cautious toward Miao Luo.

Being willing to agree to such demands suggested the other side also had demands, but what demands could be more important than losing their sovereignty?

"Vice President, there’s no need to be surprised. We had already anticipated this scenario. Of course, we have our demands, too."

"What demands?" Xu Haishui asked, while internally he shouted, "Here it comes!"

"Our Dongsheng Co-management will fully cooperate with the United District in resisting Cloud Gorge Base’s Hidden Dragon Party. Our only demand is simple, but if you agree to it, whether or not you are in charge, you must fulfill it. My demand is that all high-ranking members of the Peace Party excluding the entire Peace Party itself must ensure that Dongsheng Co-management will never be affected by a zombie wave or attacks by single powerful evolved zombies!"

As Miao Luo stated his demands, Xu Haishui’s heart raced. He could never have imagined that Dongsheng Co-management’s demand would be this.

He meant the high-ranking members of the Peace Party, not the Peace Party itself, which was quite intriguing. And, having to fulfill it whether or not he was in charge?

This suggested it might even require the president’s approval.

Xu Haishui fell silent, pondering deeply the implications of Miao Luo’s words. The more he thought, the more he felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that the other side knew the Peace Party’s high-ranking members were all intelligent zombies?

If that were true, it would be terrifying!
