Chapter 766 Must Be Unified
Around seven o'clock, the entire community woke up from its slumber. I stood at the door of the villa, watching the people outside starting to work, and felt a sense of peace. But soon, I saw an uninvited guest appear before me.
Su Mu.
This guy hasn't left yet.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. When Pu Weichao and I came back yesterday, he was still here having a meeting with Sister Jing and the others. As soon as I got back, their meeting ended, and they threw me a welcome party. They drank until late at night. Although he wasn't drunk, he must have felt it was too late, so he stayed here. Now that he's here, he probably wants to continue yesterday's meeting, right?
"I didn't expect you to get up so early. After seeing how you threw up last night, I thought you wouldn't be able to get up today."
I rubbed my still-aching head and said, "I was going to go back to sleep, but my head hurt too much and I couldn't sleep, so I got up to clear my head. Did you come here to continue yesterday's meeting?"
Su Mu nodded and said, "That's right."
I asked, "Can you tell me what you were talking about? When I was in Hangzhou, Du Xu told me that you wanted to annex the other two communities and then unify the Delta region."
Su Mu chuckled and said, "I did have that idea at first, but I gave up on it later. I came here yesterday for this very reason. I mainly felt that it was inappropriate for our four places to be so scattered. We must unite them."
I asked, "You want to be the leader?"
Su Mu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out and handed it to me. After lighting it, he continued, "I did have this idea before, thinking that I was probably the only one who could rule this place. Even if you could rule it, you wouldn't be able to manage it well."
I did not deny his point of view. He started building the Jiangbei community from the beginning of the zombie outbreak and developed it so well today. It's not just talk. His management skills are indeed amazing. I certainly can't compare to him in this respect.
"So what are you planning to do?"
Su Mu said, "What am I planning to do? To be honest, I'm a little confused right now. Before I talk about that, let me tell you something. I guess Lu Jing and the others haven't talked to you about this."
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously. Could it be that something strange has happened again?
Su Mu said, "About half a month ago, something happened at the dam, and a big battle broke out."
"The dam?!" I was a little surprised. Isn't this Xu Le's place? How come a big battle suddenly broke out? Could it be that other forces are also dealing with them? But thinking about it carefully, it seems very possible. According to the dam's previous actions, they have been stirring up trouble among various forces and must have offended a lot of forces. If those forces unite to attack the dam, the dam will definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Well, ever since the Xu Le incident ended, I sent people to keep an eye on the dam. Then I saw the news of a major battle taking place there. As for what's going on at the dam now, I don't know. But one thing is certain: the original group of people at the dam should have been wiped out. As for the group of people at the dam now, I don't know which faction they belong to."
I was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean by telling me this?"
Su Mu said, "Since such a powerful force as the dam can be wiped out, do you think we, a small place here, have the power to resist when we encounter truly powerful teams, even teams with thousands or tens of thousands of people?"
I hesitated for a moment, but I had to admit that there really wasn't.
“That’s right, we don’t have the strength to resist,” Su Mu said. “Since we don’t, we definitely have to unite. I was thinking that if I were to unify the two sides, the central town and Yaojia community would definitely not agree, and then there might be another big battle with heavy losses. So I could only come here to discuss with Lu Jing and the others. At that time, I felt that I couldn’t put my hopes on you, since you had already gone to Hangzhou and it was unknown whether you could come back. So we could only rely on ourselves and find a way to get all four communities to cooperate.”
I didn't expect Su Mu to have such thoughts. It surprised me. It's unbelievable that he could suppress his ambition.
Su Mu chuckled. "Don't look at me like that. I really want everyone to submit, but I know I can't. In Jiangbei, they listen to me because I've always been the leader, and my plans for Jiangbei are perfect, so no one resents me, and they're all willing to listen to me. But it's different in Central Town and here. To you, I'm always an outsider. Even if we fought side by side before, it still doesn't change the divide between regions, don't you think?"
“That makes sense.” I suddenly realized something and asked, “So, you’ve won over all four forces in order to deal with forces like the dam in the future?”
Su Mu nodded and said, "I guess so. The dam has changed hands now, and we don't know what kind of people are in the dam now. While we still have time, we should unite as soon as possible. I think the people in the dam will definitely contact the surrounding community teams. Their ambitions should be quite large."
I don't know how Su Mu figured out that the dam had big ambitions, but what he said makes sense. Once a place becomes too powerful, it will run out of resources and will have to resort to plunder to meet its needs, thus continuing to expand its territory.
The dam is very close to the delta region. If the dam is really determined, it can basically find this place. Once they find it, we will probably face trouble. At that time, everything will be uncertain.
"However, your idea is difficult to realize. Even if you say you don't want to rule the Delta region, your actions will inevitably cause people to have all sorts of wild thoughts. They will probably think that you want to use this method to subdue them."
Su Mu said, "It is precisely because I understand this that I came here to seek help. Lu Jing did not believe what I said before, thinking that I was too ambitious. However, I did not expect that you would believe me. This is beyond my expectations."
I said, “I don’t believe you. I just think what you said makes sense. But whether it’s you or us, it will be very difficult to integrate the four communities. The central town and Yaojia community are bound to have wild ideas.”
Su Mu said, "Yes, it's too troublesome."
Regarding unification, Pu Weichao previously said that it was definitely going to happen. As for how it would happen, I don't know, but I think he must have a way, otherwise he wouldn't have reminded me so many times.
