Chapter 973: Chapter 420 Strategic Meeting_3

Su Shi: "I agree with some of Xiao Wu’s opinions. I’ve noticed there’s a commonality between the two different assessments of the Survivor Alliance: the establishment of a class system where one can rise or fall. Perhaps those at the bottom have to risk fighting zombies and earn the worst food, but they have room for upward mobility. It is precisely because those at the bottom have less resources that they are motivated to climb upwards."

Su Shi continued: "A rigid class system is terrifying, but a fluid one that allows for movement up and down can enhance internal competition, which is not necessarily a bad thing for humanity. If the system were like a small tyrant ensuring fairness and justice, where everyone got the same food and resources, then what motivation would there be to develop the community?"

Stone looked at Xiao Wen: "Xiao Wen, what do you think?"

Xiao Wen replied: "It’s like a company. The boss eats meat, the upper management drinks soup, and the lower levels drink water. The key is whether there is a fair competitive path for upward mobility at the bottom level; if there is, then that’s good."

Xiao Yi joined the discussion: "I disagree. What you described sounds nice, but the reality doesn’t match up. Suppose the small tyrant has five upper managers who can be promoted or demoted, right? If they can’t be demoted, with everyone’s rank rising, more and more people will end up in upper management. If they can be demoted, would the five really be willing to move from soup to water? The result is obvious, there would inevitably be turmoil."

Xiao Yi: "I think we could join the Survivor Alliance, but it should be a relationship similar to that between the medieval kings and nobles in Europe. The railway bridge territory is ours, how we implement policies is our business, and we have our own armed forces. At the same time, when the King expands the territory, we can also send people to participate and gain fiefdoms."

Xiao Wu said: "History has proved that feudalism is a failed system."

Lin Wu: "Gentlemen, let’s not digress too far. Let’s first determine our stance, this is our first agenda item. First question: Are you willing to join the Survivor Alliance? Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Wu thought for a moment: "For the future of humanity, joining the Survivor Alliance is worth considering. But for my own future, I believe I won’t be as well off after joining the Alliance as I am now."

Lin Wu looked at Xiao Wen and Xiao Yi; their views aligned with Xiao Wu’s. They all preferred the railway bridge model, not the model of being ruled and managed. Although the railway bridge base also had rules, the degree of freedom was very high. The Survivor Alliance was different; there were strict regulations on how much food to eat, what to eat, and how much work to do. It wouldn’t be entirely accurate to say that the average resources at the railway bridge base far exceeded those of the Survivor Alliance, but most of the Alliance’s resources were controlled by the top level of the Alliance, either for their own enjoyment or for the future development of the Alliance.

Lin Wu: "So regardless of whether the small tyrant is a good person or a bad person, because he wants to interfere with our lives, he is a bad person."

"That’s well said," everyone applauded. I like to eat rice cakes, and that’s my business. But if you force me to eat meals, then you are wrong. Maybe you think eating rice cakes is not good, but I just don’t like it. Who doesn’t have a few scales that must not be touched? Especially for members of Shadow, they adhere to a golden saying: If you don’t agree, just fight, and if they die, too bad.

I can join Veteran Base, I can join the Survivor Alliance, but if you scheme to make me join you, then you are the enemy. The crux of the matter is whether I am willing or you are willing.

If the small tyrant had said: "If you’re interested in joining the Survivor Alliance, you’re welcome to contact me anytime," that would be equivalent to giving the railway bridge base the option, and the result might have been different. The method adopted by the small tyrant wasn’t wrong and could exert certain pressure on the railway bridge base. It’s just a shame he didn’t know that the core members of the railway bridge base are game players; these people are not afraid at all.
