"Moreover, I now strongly suspect that they not only took our superpower fluid, but may have also taken away a lot of our supplies."
This isn't Fang Xiyue exaggerating; it's the truth. If they can take the superpower liquid, they can certainly take other things as well.
"I know. How about this, Uncle Lu, go find the division commander now and have him report to the commander-in-chief, okay? Don't be impulsive."
Battalion Commander Lu broke out in a cold sweat. If Fang Xiyue destroyed the Ming Dynasty, it would be tantamount to declaring war on other countries.
Of course, even if Xi Yue hadn't thought of it, other countries wouldn't believe it. In order to preserve their countries, they would very likely unite together.
Even though their country is strong now, there's no guarantee they'll remain unscathed under an attack from a coalition of ten nations.
Even if we win, many civilian lives will be lost; the most tragic victims of war are always the civilians.
"Oh, then you go ahead, I'll do the planning."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Xiyue looked at the world map on the wall and suddenly felt that their territory could be expanded.
Of course, she wasn't really a warmonger, so everything still needed a reason.
And I believe Japan and the United States will soon be able to provide this reason.
Five minutes later, Fang Xiyue received a call from Commander Zhang.
"Xiyue, I know you are a patriotic child, but we can't act impulsively, you know?"
I know that Japan took our superpower fluid and supplies, and instigated our superpowered individuals to become the New Army to oppose us. This is despicable and hateful.
But we can't just destroy someone's country over a disagreement, can we?
Every country has good people and bad people. If we were to drop a devastating bomb, it would indeed solve the problem once and for all, but it would also sacrifice many innocent lives in Japan and the United States.
Furthermore, if it provokes discontent among the other 10 countries, a world war will break out. There are already few people left in the post-apocalyptic world, so how many will be left after the war ends?
Our enemy now is zombies, zombies!
When Commander Zhang heard Battalion Commander Lu explain the situation, his hands trembled with anxiety, and he finally managed to get through to Fang Xiyue on the phone.
"Ahem, Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I've calmed down. But if they provoke me, it shouldn't be a problem for me to retaliate, right?"
Fang Xiyue first laid the groundwork, knowing that the Japanese and Ming Kingdom would definitely provoke her, and then she would beat them so badly that even their own parents wouldn't recognize them.
"Ah, that's right. We must retaliate against malicious provocation. We're not cowards!"
Commander Zhang thought Fang Xiyue was referring to the fact that the New Generation Army would provoke them from time to time, and that they would retaliate against the New Generation Army's provocations, so this was understandable.
"However, Xiyue, we have already started to spread the message that the new generation of soldiers are bad people and people from an enemy country. I believe that not many survivors and superhumans will be fooled."
"You all need to start spreading the word in your respective cities. I expect the commander will be holding a meeting soon."
This matter must be addressed immediately so that more survivors know that the New Army is a spy planted here by the enemy.
"Uncle Zhang, don't forget that the New Army has people who can hypnotize others. This is a huge potential threat."
Most importantly, the person who can hypnotize may have already upgraded to a level two superhuman.
If he has hypnotic abilities, then level two hypnotic abilities are terrifying to even think about. It's very possible that he could be hypnotized just by walking past someone or passing by.
Even if everyone knows in their hearts that the New Army is evil, they will still be used by them after being hypnotized.
This was Fang Xiyue's biggest worry; she didn't want her own people to kill each other.
There are already too few people; if they fight amongst themselves, wouldn't that just let them reap the benefits?
"Okay, I understand. I'll go talk to the commander about this now. Wait for my news, and don't act rashly!"
After hanging up the phone, Fang Xiyue sat in her chair, lost in thought.
Licheng is her territory, so anyone with bad intentions, including the new recruits, will be ejected and won't be able to get in.
So she was still at ease in Licheng, but she couldn't guarantee the safety of the other cities.
After all, she already owns the safe zone; it's impossible for her to have the entire city.
Wouldn't that mean China would belong to Fang Xiyue alone? That's impossible.
Moreover, Fang Xiyue had no intention of taking over the country. If she really wanted to become the ruler of a country, she could have conquered one herself.
If it weren't for the need to protect the device, she could have simply returned ownership of the other city safety zones right now; she only needed Licheng.
She believed that the lords of other cities had the same idea, but were also hindered by the protective devices.
It all depends on who brings it up first. Fang Xiyue believes that once they are able to protect their city, they will find a way to make her hand over ownership.
Because nobody wants a part of their territory to belong to someone else, and then have to pay crystal coins every year, even if it's not much.
Moreover, once they have more level-two ability users, the ability users can solve the water and electricity problems, so the protection, water, and electricity provided by Fang Xiyue become insignificant.
At that point, they will realize that it is inappropriate for them to still hold a portion of the ownership.
They are grateful for your help now, but they will resent your possession in the future. This is human nature. The perspective on a problem changes at different times.
She didn't want Licheng to become the target of everyone's criticism, or for Fang Xiyue to become a thorn in someone's side.
Of course, she's not afraid if there's a collective backlash against her; she just doesn't want to cause trouble for herself.
So when the time is right, she will take the initiative to return ownership.
Once ownership is returned, the protective devices, water and electricity networks will be disconnected, and her supermarket, shops, and superpower center will be dismantled.
This was not Fang Xiyue's retaliation, but rather a consequence of the system's mechanisms.
When ownership is transferred, the original water and electricity network is replaced, so once ownership is returned, the water and electricity network will be paralyzed.
If they can't be self-sufficient, then they should just buy it themselves.
Anyway, Licheng can teleport to other cities. They can just place an order for whatever they want to buy and she will send someone to deliver it. It's just that the price will be a little higher.
Her city of Li will become the largest trading city, an indispensable presence.
Their position will remain unshaken for at least the next 10 years; after all, people are selfish.
She couldn't possibly allow herself to become a pawn after doing so much, though it's also possible that she was judging others by her own petty standards.
Ten minutes later, the meeting invitation arrived, albeit late, and a neat group of 19 people logged on.
"There are three things to discuss at today's meeting."
First, the new army used ordinary survivors to purchase a lot of supernatural energy fluid and sent it to Japan and the United States. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that other countries also engaged in similar activities.
Therefore, starting today, people entering and leaving the Superpower Hall will need to be registered with their real names to purchase Superpower Liquid, and they can only drink Superpower Liquid at designated hotels.
Secondly, the people hypnotized by the Newborn Army may have already become Level 2 superhumans, so it is necessary to intensify the investigation of all suspicious persons to prevent their infiltration.
Third, we should avoid provoking wars with other countries unless absolutely necessary. Our current enemy is the zombies; it's unwise to create new enemies before we've eradicated them.
