Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 1119 Miasma

Lower town.

[Prison Gate] Outside, the new headquarters for regional cooperation in the lower city.

The conference room was filled with smoke.

Guan Shanyue sat at the main seat.

On his side were Ma Yuxiang, Gerlan, Weathers and other former top leaders of various regions.

Those who can sit here at this time are those who have not chosen to go to the upper city, but in the lower city, there are big figures who have absolute power.

The decision-making power over many of the actions and future of the downtown area actually lies in the hands of these people.

As for strength...

Let’s put it this way, it starts with a thousand souls.

"We are already evacuating in an orderly manner."

Gerlan spoke.

His face was filled with deep solemnity.

Little York was transferred to the upper city, so almost all matters concerning District A fell on his head.

Although Mingx assisted, in the past few years, the affairs of District A were basically decided by Little York and Luo Xiu, which made it difficult for others to take over immediately after the two of them went to the upper city.

It was fine when nothing happened on a normal day, but when they really encountered a big problem, their decision-making ability was still a bit lacking.

A large-scale miasma outbreak occurred in Area A. After investigation, it has been determined that it is related to the [Road of Grace].

The reason why the decision-making ability of these two people is poor is that after discovering this problem, they hesitated for two days before deciding to blow up the problematic [Roads of Grace].

Looking back now, if we had made a decision earlier, perhaps the outbreak of miasma would not have had such a serious impact.

But it's obviously too late to regret now.

Before Ning Fan made the final decision, most of the residents in District A had already evacuated to District E under the arrangement of the heads of various regions.

Most of the area in District E, which corresponds to the upper city, is under the control of Xu Jiang, so the [Road of Grace] is relatively "clean".

However, Gerlan knew that the evacuation had taken place, but it was definitely not orderly.

It is difficult to maintain order among the people in the lower city.

Especially when facing life and death.

They were all a group of people who were used to struggling for their lives. Now they were told to strictly obey orders and follow the rules to escape...

Just kidding.

In fact, even if Gerlan didn't say it, everyone else knew how chaotic the situation in Region A was right now.

Guan Shanyue looked solemn, with his head lowered, thinking about how to solve the trouble at hand.

Withers was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "No news from the Grand General?"

"I've sent a message to Luo Xiu, and there should be a reply soon."

Ma Yuxiang frowned. "I'm not trying to throw cold water on you, but even Ning Fan...can't do anything about this kind of thing."

Someone is dead!

Many people died!

No matter how smart Ning Fan is or how resourceful he is, he can't trick the miasma back to the [Road of Grace], right?

"Let me interject."

Bai Qiming, who was sitting at the end of the long table, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

Now everyone is at a loss, so it would be a good thing if someone could come up with an idea.

"My words may make Commander Gerlan uncomfortable, but I am only expressing my true thoughts. They have nothing to do with anything else. I hope you can understand."

Bai Qiming first looked at Gerland and said.

Gerlan didn't look very happy either.

After all, he is from District A.

At this time, he couldn't pretend to be a gentleman and greet Bai Qiming.

"It has already happened, and the people are indeed dead. We can now do our best to rescue those who are still alive."

"But you should all be aware that a large-scale evacuation like this is bound to cause unrest."

"Besides, almost all of our troops have been transferred to the upper city. We can't use troops to maintain order."

"More importantly, with the team heading to the upper city, most of the transportation has been withdrawn. Can those preparing to evacuate truly outrun the miasma on foot?"

Gerlan now understood why Bai Qiming gave him a heads-up before expressing his thoughts.

Bai Qiming almost said it out loud, few of those "refugees" in your Area A will actually make it out alive.

"Then I shall issue an order to leave them to die in the district?"

Gerlan's face was gloomy.

Weathers noticed that the atmosphere was a little off, so he stepped forward to smooth things over: "Commander Gerlan..."

"Don't try to persuade me."

Gerlan interrupted Weathers directly: "This is a problem in District A. If it was your District E, you might not be able to remain calm."

After spending several years together, Withers and Gerlan's relationship is still good.

Moreover, when Area A evacuated to Area E, Weathers did not say a word and even sent people to support them.

For this reason, Gerlan is more or less concerned about the relationship.

only……

This is the problem that everyone can think of but always thinks will not happen so soon, and now it has happened.

When actual interests or problems are put before us, there are still differences between the various regions.

When Ning Fan was here, everyone was eager to go to the upper city, so they were able to maintain a certain degree of unity.

But now, the [prison gate] is open, and the goal we all worked towards is accomplished.

The most important thing is that some people went up and some stayed.

To put it bluntly, who doesn’t want to walk up there and feel the sunshine on their body?
