Chapter 1767: Chapter 1767: The District Governnt’s Concession
"What do you an?" The middle-aged man looked sharply at the person across the table.
"Let’s make this public." The woman took a deep breath, her relatively young face revealing a guilt that didn’t match her appearance, "We’ve killed so many people, it’s ti for us to seek redemption."
Not just the middle-aged man, but others in the conference room couldn’t accept this proposal either. Several people slamd the table, glaring at the woman, "Do you even know what you’re saying?!"
"Do you want all our hard work over the past hundred years to go to waste just because of a bit of guilt?"
"This isn’t as simple as admitting a mistake or making an apology. Once we publicly admit it, no one will be able to control the situation!"
The ones speaking were visibly agitated, determined to persuade the woman and in turn convince any wavering colleagues.
After a mont of eye contact showdown, the Chief Governor spoke again, "This proposal will never pass."
The woman remained calm, saying, "I have a second proposal."
Her gaze swept over the face of the middle-aged man across from her, "It was the mining corporation that initially proposed using the Human Bone Gems to get through the crisis. It was also the mining corporation that recruited people to carry it out, and despite repeated governnt warnings, they secretly acted without properly settling the victims’ families. Have them admit their cris and remove a batch of top executives, and Zone 019 can turn crisis into safety."
The eyes in the conference room, overtly and covertly, landed on the middle-aged man. His presence here represented the mining corporation, and personally, he was also related to the head of the Tian Tian Le Group.
The woman’s previous proposal was outrageous, and the vast majority would not agree with it because it would not only plunge Zone 019 into unprecedented turmoil but could also cost them their lives. If it happened, every participant would die, and more frightening is that the district governnt has many young and strong core personnel. The ones working here aren’t saints, whether for the sake of the sacrificed or themselves, these people could put in effort, and any talk of unity would just be laughable. If they truly wanted to maintain district peace, they could collectively commit suicide to atone instead...
But now there’s a compromise option, sacrificing the mining corporation, letting them take the bla, and the district governnt at most is just poorly managed and helpless. Even if they’re aware, it wouldn’t trigger a huge backlash, which would be very conducive to maintaining district stability. The situation within the mining corporation is the sa, as there are plenty ready to take over. Once internal division occurs, the district governnt can openly send players to deal with the mining corporation.
In a few short seconds of stagnation, the middle-aged man kicked over a chair and stood up, pointing at the woman, "Fang Jing, you’re ruthless!"
The man’s breathing was heavy like a bull, his breaths were the only sound in the now-silent conference room, and everyone else watched him silently.
The middle-aged man realized he was isolated, coldly sweeping his gaze over everyone in the room before leaving in a huff.
The player standing behind the Chief Governor was about to move but was held back.
"Let him go," the Chief Governor said, "The truth is like sand in the sea, the more you dig, the more you find. With so many players involved in this, there’s no way out unscathed unless the district governnt discards the credibility it has built up over the years..."
That can’t happen. Zone 019’s peace is not only supported by strong military force but also by the sense of belonging and pride of all district residents, including players. Because the district governnt maintains fairness and integrity, players are willing to execute the governnt’s decrees and actively strive to maintain order.
If changes are made now, Zone 019 would be stepping into the abyss!
"Since we can’t change, let’s be prepared, call everyone in, those willing to talk, talk nicely, for those unwilling, invite them to sit and listen. Butterflies flying in from outside the district can leave anyti, but the storm of Zone 019 is everyone’s responsibility."
Having made the decision, the district governnt began to take action. Such a large operation couldn’t go unnoticed, and soon ssages started flooding the Collection of Information Terminal, while the mining corporation couldn’t entirely cooperate. So tried to flee, others to resist, but it’s only a matter of ti before it’s all over.
As the district governnt and mining corporation began a frontal confrontation, assassination attempts against Xu Huo increased.
The mining corporation undoubtedly wanted to handle Xu Huo like they did Granny i’s family: deal with the conspicuous person first, then slowly suppress others. After a few years, people would forget, and any other troubles would be the district governnt’s problem.
The district governnt certainly won’t allow this to happen. If they don’t want their credibility to crumble, they must ensure Xu Huo survives Zone 019. Now more than ever, they must strive to quell the storm with minimal cost to regain public trust in the governnt. As long as credibility is maintained, it doesn’t matter how many officials are replaced.
A century ago, the mining corporation was the only economic pillar. Today, it’s no longer the sole consideration for the district governnt.
A player from a Rank-C instance can find a local Storm Factor to help, to publicly reveal themselves, and as the event unfolds, nurous players take action to quickly find real evidence and witnesses... this behavior of sneaking in the dark has once again made district governnt officials feel as anxious as they did a hundred years ago, each mont filled with anxiety, every second like sitting on pins and needles!
The district governnt sent many players to the city where Xu Huo was staying, mainly to protect him. These people surrounded the tall buildings, enclosing him in the center, and all nearby residents were evacuated. A large number of ard robots filled the streets, forming the first wall of defense around the building.
The second wall was ford by governnt players, positioned between one to two kiloters from the building, both protecting him and blocking players arriving from other areas.
Indeed, players arriving from all directions had almost filled the entire city. So ca from player organizations, but most were unaffiliated, and among them were individuals sent by the mining corporation. However, under the control of governnt players, they weren’t allowed to approach Xu Huo.
The defensive barrier was layered, with even player organizations voluntarily using props to ensure Xu Huo’s safety. Most had co to wait for the governnt’s subsequent actions; hence, while there were many people, disorder was avoided.
Sitting on top of the building, Xu Huo took out the Collection of Information Terminal, contacting his few remaining companions. More than half of those involved with the Puppet Amber had been captured, with little hope of release, and the district governnt likely knew their arranged eting signals. So when he took out the terminal, the few operating in Ember City were frantically contacting him.
