"Yaoyao, go and notify everyone to attend the meeting." Mou Xuan's tone was calm, but he couldn't hide the solemnity in his eyes.
Chen Yao felt the coldness of his palm, and her heart trembled, and she immediately went to execute it.
In the meeting room of the safe house, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.
The remaining joy on everyone's faces had long been replaced by anxiety.
Mou Xuan stood in front of the projection screen, on which was a satellite image. A huge black shadow was moving slowly on the horizon, like a giant beast ready to devour its prey.
"According to my observation, this force is huge and has ill intentions." Mou Xuan's voice was low but powerful. "We must prepare for the worst."
Everyone gasped, and the originally relaxed atmosphere froze in an instant.
Merchant Ding was the first to break the silence, his fat face full of hypocritical smiles: "Boss, are you worrying too much? Maybe he's just passing by?"
"Passing by?" Soldier Wu sneered, "How can such a large-scale team pass by quietly? Do you think we are fools?" He slammed the table, stood up and pointed at the screen, "It's clearly coming for us!"
"Old Wu, stop talking!" Doctor Ji hunched his shoulders and whispered, "What time is it now? Are you still fighting among yourselves?"
"Internal strife?" Soldier Wu's eyes widened in anger. "I am only discussing the matter at hand! If we don't strengthen our defense now, it will be too late to cry when the enemy comes knocking on our door!" He turned to Mou Xuan and said firmly, "Boss, I suggest that we increase military investment immediately and build a more powerful defense system!"
When Merchant Ding heard this, he immediately jumped up, his fat flesh shaking, "No! Absolutely not! Supplies are so precious now, if we use them all for military purposes, what will we eat and drink?" He rolled his eyes and said to Mou Xuan with a big smile, "Boss, I think Lao Wu is overreacting a bit. Let's still seek peace and observe first."
"Observe? Observe your ass!" Soldier Wu pointed at Merchant Ding's nose and cursed, "You are a profiteer, all you know is hoarding supplies. When the time comes, can those broken things of yours stop bullets?!"
"You..." Merchant Ding was so angry that his face turned purple. He pointed at soldier Wu and was speechless for a long time.
The two were on edge, and the atmosphere in the conference room was tense.
Mou Xuan looked at this scene with a frown on his face. He knew that if this issue could not be properly handled, the unity of the alliance would be seriously threatened...
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "You two..."
"You two," Mou Xuan's steady voice was like a thunder, instantly suppressing the noisy quarrel in the conference room, "Calm down." His sharp eyes swept across the crowd, finally stopping at the soldier Wu and the businessman Ding, "I understand your concerns. Old Wu, safety is the top priority, and your suggestions are very valuable; Old Ding, material support is equally important. Without logistical support, everything is empty talk."
He paused, walked to the projection screen, and pointed at the dark shadow that was getting closer and closer. "The enemy we are facing now is unknown, and its strength is unknown. Any rash action will only cause chaos." The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile. "My idea is to 'attack on two fronts'."
"Two-pronged approach?" Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"That's right," Mou Xuan explained confidently, "First, we need to build an elite defense team. Lao Wu will be responsible for training and commanding. The number of people doesn't need to be too large, but they must be the elite among the elites, and their equipment must also be given priority." He turned to the Wu soldiers and said firmly, "Lao Wu, can you do it?"
Soldier Wu stood up straight with excitement and saluted in a standard military salute, "I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Mou Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Merchant Ding, "Old Ding, the alliance's material reserves are now in your hands. You need to actively seek new sources of materials while ensuring the existing reserves." He emphasized his tone slightly, "Remember, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and never allow waste or corruption."
Although Merchant Ding was somewhat reluctant, he nodded and agreed because of Mou Xuan's majesty, "Don't worry, Boss. I will definitely keep a close eye on it."
Mou Xuan looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I know that this plan is challenging for everyone, but we must unite to overcome the difficulties." He walked to Chen Yao and held her hand. Chen Yao held his hand in return, her eyes firm and gentle, as if silently giving him strength.
"I have a hunch," Mou Xuan looked out the window, his tone meaningful, "a storm is coming..."
Mou Xuan stood alone on the top floor of the safe house, looking at the disturbing black shadow in the distance.
The cold wind whistled past, ruffling his hair, but it could not blow away the solemnity between his brows.
How can we make this motley crowd unite and work together in the face of crisis?
This gave him a bigger headache than hoarding billions of supplies.
He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, his heart was in turmoil, and his anxiety was growing like a virus.
no!
He took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became firm.
He is a reborn person, he knows where the future is going, and he must lead everyone to survive!
Instead of waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative!
"Beep——" Mou Xuan turned on the communicator, "Yaoyao, notify everyone to gather on the top floor in ten minutes!"
Ten minutes later, the top floor was full of people, and everyone's face was filled with tension and anxiety.
Mou Xuan glanced at everyone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.
"Brothers, I know everyone is panicking right now, but panicking is useless!" He raised his voice, which echoed in the air. "What we need to do now is to unite and defeat those guys who want to cause trouble!"
He paused and continued, "From today on, the alliance will implement a new discipline and reward mechanism! Those who perform well will be rewarded with supplies! Those who desert will be kicked out of the alliance directly!"
"Fuck! The boss is awesome!"
"It's stable now!"
"Follow the boss and enjoy delicious food and spicy drinks!"
Cheers broke out in the crowd, and the excitement spread instantly like popcorn.
Mou Xuan's words undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm, allowing them to see hope and become more convinced of Mou Xuan's leadership.
Just when everyone was getting ready for a big fight, a figure stumbled up to the top floor, his face pale and panting.
"Report... Report to the boss..." His voice trembled, "Xiao... Xiaowu... is missing..."
The air froze instantly, and the smiles on everyone's faces froze.
Xiaowu is the best scout in the alliance. What does his disappearance mean?
"When was the last time you saw him?" Mou Xuan's voice was cold, as if wrapped in frost.
"Yesterday...last night..."
As night falls, the lights on the rooftop of the safe house are particularly dazzling in the darkness...
