Yu Mingyang said seriously, "Manager Wang, I feel that as the head of the Huaxi Valley base, you don't care about the interests of the Huaxi Valley base. Instead, you only serve Fuxing City."
“Population is the most valuable asset right now, and you have been sending the people that our field team has worked so hard to rescue to Fuxing City. If we add this batch of 2,000 people, you have already sent 6,000 people over. Our Huaxi Valley base only has a little over 10,000 people in total.”
Taking a deep breath, Yu Mingyang continued, "Manager Wang, after joining the Huaxi Valley base for two months, I feel that our Huaxi Valley base, in terms of both its geographical location and existing facilities, is sufficient to make us a major force with a population of 100,000."
“I’ve also heard that this is where that leader started his career. Why can’t we keep the population here and expand the Flower Valley base as well?”
Sun Xiaoyou's expression changed, and she angrily rebuked, "Yu Mingyang! What nonsense are you spouting! Our development focus is currently on Fuxing City, which will become our most important base! What you're implying is clearly that you want to amass military power for yourself?!"
Meanwhile, the other high-ranking members of Huaxi Valley were all indignant and shouted, "Yu Mingyang, you really have ill intentions!"
"From the very first day you joined the Huaxi Valley base, you started relentlessly pursuing Steward Wang. You truly have the ambition of a wolf!"
Yu Mingyang sneered, "Holding up an army to make oneself powerful? I brought 1,200 men here. If I wanted to hold up an army to make myself powerful, I would have taken control of this place long ago. I'm just stating the facts."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Xi and said seriously, "Wang Xi, I have been leading people to join this place for two months now. You know how I feel about you. I am really thinking about you."
Wang Xi suddenly laughed and said calmly, "Considering me? You want to get me, then use my status and position to develop and expand this place, and then you can take the opportunity to turn this place into your own private paradise, is that right?"
Yu Mingyang said earnestly, "Chief Steward Wang, I understand the loyalty of you veteran members to the leader, but I also hope you understand that there are 15,000 people at the Huaxi Valley base now, 8,000 of whom are new recruits. They hope to build this place into their home, not send them all to Fuxing City as soon as they achieve a little success."
After a pause, Yu Mingyang continued, "Wang Xi, everyone says you were the leader's earliest subordinate, but if the leader really valued you that much, would he have assigned you here? Fuxing City has everything, including skyscrapers, modern facilities, and a huge population."
"And what about you and your men? You're stuck here, and almost all of the facilities are newly built, all made of reinforced concrete. It's more like a fortress than a base."
“If the leader truly values you, why are those who came after you holding high positions in the main city of Fuxing, while you are relegated to this tiny corner? I truly feel sorry for you!”
Sun Xiaoyou glared angrily and shouted, "Yu Mingyang, you've really gone too far! You have no idea how important this place is! It's precisely because the leader values this place that he sent his most trusted Steward Wang here!"
Yu Mingyang scoffed, "That was just a casual remark. 'Important'? How many times has that mysterious leader come here? He just said he valued it, and then he exiled Wang Xi here. Is that what you call 'important'? Have you all been brainwashed by him?"
Just then, Yu Mingyang said into the walkie-talkie, "Come in."
Soon, eight people walked in.
Sun Xiaoyou was taken aback when she saw these people.
The Huaxi Valley Base field team currently has a total of 1,200 people. Excluding the two captains, Yu Mingyang and Li Qing, there are only 20 other evolved individuals.
These evolved individuals all served as squad leaders, each leading 60 field team members.
And the eight people who came in were all squad leaders!
Sun Xiaoyou roared angrily, "What are you doing?! Are you trying to rebel?"
Yu Mingyang sneered and looked at Wang Xi, saying, "These eight field team leaders all feel the same way I do: we shouldn't just send our hard-earned resources to Fuxing City for nothing. Wang Xi, why do you insist on discouraging those of us who genuinely care about the Huaxi Valley base?"
Wang Xi remained expressionless and said calmly, "Besides the nine of you, is there anyone else who thinks so?"
Yu Mingyang said seriously, "Besides the nine of us, there are also the hundreds of field team members under my command who think this way, and perhaps thousands of survivors who joined the base later who think this way!"
His words were echoed by the eight squad leaders.
"Steward Wang, the captain is right!"
"Manager Wang, you really need to think about ourselves."
Yu Mingyang gazed at Wang Xi and said affectionately, "Wang Xi, you understand my feelings, so why won't you accept me completely? Then let's work together to turn this place into a paradise. We have the ability and the opportunity."
“It’s almost 200 kilometers from Fuxing City. It’s not like before the disaster. It’s not easy to make a round trip. We should just focus on development. Even if they send people over, you can handle it.”
Wang Xi suddenly laughed. She smiled and said, "Yu Mingyang, do you know why I made you the captain? Do you know why I acquiesced to your pursuit?"
Yu Mingyang frowned as he looked at Wang Xi's smile.
He always felt that things had gone beyond his expectations.
Wang Xi smiled and continued, "Yu Mingyang, do you really think I don't know your intentions? When you brought 1,200 people to join our Huaxi Valley base, I already investigated your background. However, you hid your people too well. Even after investigating for a long time, I still couldn't find anything."
"So I simply appointed you as the squad leader and told you that as long as you rescue enough survivors, you will be promoted. Sure enough, you lived up to my appointment and brought in more than 4,000 survivors in just one month."
After a pause, Wang Xi smiled and said, "A battalion commander position in exchange for more than 5,000 survivors is a good deal. I originally thought you could bring even more survivors to the Flower Valley base, but I didn't expect that you would completely give yourself away after only two months?"
Yu Mingyang frowned and said coldly, "Wang Xi, so for the past two months, you've been deliberately not rejecting my advances? And every time I confessed my feelings, you hesitated—that was also on purpose?"
Wang Xi's eyes flashed coldly, and he smiled slightly, saying, "Otherwise what? You think I'd be interested in you? You know what? Every time you stand next to me confessing your feelings, I really want to kick you away, but I have to pretend I'm still hesitant because you're really useful!"
"As fellow battalion commanders, in two months, Li Qing's side only received half the supplies as your side, and in terms of population, the difference is almost tenfold!"
