Lin Ziluo and Su Zhishang walked into the meeting room together.
A huge oval conference table is placed in the center of the conference room.
There is a leather sofa at intervals next to the conference table, and a name badge with name written on it is placed in front of the sofa.
Following the instructions on his work badge, Lin Ziluo quickly found his seat.
However, Su Zhishang's position was not close to Lin Ziluo, so the two separated temporarily.
The 20 city lords sat in their seats one after another.
At the same time, next to the conference table, there is a row of sofas filled with people.
Lin Ziluo took a quick look at their panels and found that almost all of them had one attribute reaching 249 points.
In other words, these eight people all have top S-level strength.
I think most of them are senior officials of Tianyang City, but they have not become the lords of a city.
28 top S-level experts gathered together. This is probably the highest-level conference in the history of the "Cities Alliance".
After everyone was seated, the man who had announced the start of the meeting in the hall walked to the front and said, "This meeting was supposed to have 34 people in attendance, but only 32 actually showed up. Missing are Tiandao City Lord Buchuan Ruiku and Lu Chuanqi, leader of the SS-rank Blood Hunter mercenary group."
"Please be quiet, everyone. Now, we welcome our three elders."
As the man finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open and three old men walked into the conference room one after another.
The leader is naturally Elder Li, followed by the conservative Elder Bai.
This was also the first time Lin Ziluo saw Elder Bai's appearance. He had a typical Western look from Blue Star, with white curly hair, an old face, and was wearing a suit.
The last person to enter was Elder Fan from the neutral faction.
Elder Fan has a big belly and a round waist, and his face is indescribably kind. He looks like a good old man at first glance.
Just this look is enough to make people forget his top SS-level strength.
The three elders sat at the front of the conference table amid warm applause from many city lords.
The man finally spoke: "I declare the 'City Lords' Conference' to begin now."
After saying that, the man sat in an empty seat in front.
Only then did Lin Ziluo realize that the man's name was Bai Jingyao, who was the general affairs management officer of the City Alliance and also a top S-level expert.
After the man announced the start of the meeting, the entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for the three elders to speak.
The three elders looked at each other, and Elder Bai cleared his throat first.
"Dear participants, let's skip the self-introductions and get straight to the point."
"The 32 people present are currently the most powerful group among all humans."
"Before the conference, I believe everyone has more or less an understanding of the content of this conference and our current situation."
"But in this highest-level meeting, there's no need to hide it any further."
"What I want to tell you is that the real information has actually been blocked by us a long time ago."
"None of you have any idea of the severity of the predicament we face."
Elder Bai spoke with a serious expression.
The content of his words directly touched the hearts of everyone present.
The city lords all showed expressions of confusion and surprise.
What is going on?
What kind of situation is this that even someone as high-ranking as the city lord has been kept secret and not revealed until today's meeting?
Elder Bai did not keep anyone in suspense. He opened the sealed document placed at the front of the conference table.
Looking at the documents in his hand, Elder Bai glanced at the people around the conference table and spoke.
"This is an SSS-classified intelligence document. It basically records the strength of radioactive creatures and zombies."
"And the first piece of information above is that we currently have two SSS-level enemies!"
Elder Bai's words immediately caused an uproar.
Everyone felt their scalp tingling and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
Elder Bai remained calm and continued, "There are two SSS-level opponents. One is the well-known SSS-level radioactive creature 'Emperor Demon', and the other is the recently evolved SSS-level zombie 'Corpse Soul', who was one of our elders back then, Pang Chang."
Pang Chang!
The SS-level strongman of that year was attacked by a zombie tidal wave while he was out. He fought hard in the zombie tidal wave for ten hours and eventually became an SS-level zombie because of the high concentration of radiation he was exposed to.
I never expected that it would successfully evolve into an SSS-level zombie.
"It is precisely because of the existence of corpses that a large number of zombies began to riot."
"And the 'Emperor Demon' has reached a consensus with the 'Corpse Soul', intending to break the 'Peak Treaty' we established earlier and formally launch a final offensive against humanity."
The "Peak Treaty" is a treaty established between "Cang Huang", the only SSS-level strongman in the world, and "Emperor Mo".
Human beings above SS level cannot attack SS-level radioactive creatures or zombies.
But on the other hand, these radioactive creatures and zombies can attack all humans who appear on the surface, unless they are underground.
Such an extremely unfair treaty was eventually forced to be signed due to the weakness of the human side.
After figuring out what had happened, a glimmer of despair flashed in the eyes of most of the city lords present.
Originally, it was very difficult for humans to fight against a camp.
If we were to go to war with two camps at the same time, we would have no chance of winning.
Elder Bai continued, "In this predicament, we need to make a final decision. However, before we do, allow me to share a numerical comparison."
"Currently, there are three human SS-level fighters, four radioactive creatures, and one zombie."
"There are 33 top-tier S-class humans, 34 radioactive creatures, and 14 zombies."
"With this comparison, everyone should be able to clearly see what kind of desperate situation we are in."
"So what I want to say is, do we still need to make fearless sacrifices? We should..." Elder Bai was about to continue when he was ruthlessly interrupted by Elder Li.
"Ahem, Elder Bai, please don't interfere with the thoughts of the participants before the results of the City Lord Conference come out." Elder Li said.
Elder Bai glared at Elder Li, but did not continue speaking.
Elder Li took over the conversation, looked at the crowd and said, "Before the vote, please express your thoughts, such as the response measures. In short, please speak freely."
Elder Fan, who had been silent the entire time, then spoke up. "In the final voting phase, non-city lords' votes will earn one point, the city lord's vote will earn two points, and the elders' votes will earn three points. Please discuss and decide your choice."
After saying that, the three elders fell silent, waiting for the next participant to speak.
