Tang Li reached the surface and saw the guards of the G City underground city and the armed personnel from the special envoy team facing each other, guns raised.
The special envoy team had five armored vehicles and thirty armed personnel.
However, the three leading figures, though wearing the same protective suits as the armed personnel, were clearly not part of the fighting force.
These individuals, despite being surrounded by hundreds upon hundreds of G City underground city’s armed personnel, remained unfazed.
They showed no sign of panic, instead appearing quite arrogant.
“I’m telling you! Our Hai City has an army of 300,000, along with all sorts of advanced weaponry!”
“I advise you not to offer any futile resistance. Otherwise, once our army arrives, you will be crushed into dust!”
“You should think carefully, don’t bring ruin upon yourselves!”
One of the men, a胖子, shouted at the crowd.
He seemed convinced that the thousand-plus people before him would not dare to do anything to them.
“Pah! You dead胖子, don’t think I don’t recognize you!”
“When the G City shelter collapsed back then, it was because of you, leading to so many people being displaced. How dare you come back?”
Someone from the G City underground city’s side yelled at one of them.
These were the people who had fled from the G City shelter to the F City base.
However, the胖子 became even more excited upon hearing this.
“No wonder the G City shelter collapsed back then! So it was you insiders, colluding with the ‘Apocalypse Mall,’ one refusing to trade supplies with us, the other instigating riots internally, all with the aim of illegally occupying this area and building an underground city after the G City shelter collapsed?”
“To everyone else who is not a traitor of the G City shelter, listen up! If you abandon the darkness and embrace the light, and help the authorities eradicate the criminal organization known as ‘Apocalypse Mall,’ our Hai City will overlook your past involvement with the criminal group!”
“Otherwise… your fate will be to join the criminals in building the underground city!”
Hearing the胖子’s words, some of the G City underground city’s guards indeed showed hesitation on their faces.
“Don’t listen to him, everyone! He’s just throwing around accusations!”
“The people who have been to the F City base know better than us how the G City shelter fell out with the ‘Apocalypse Mall.’ Before we fled to the F City base, we never had any contact with the ‘Apocalypse Mall’ either!”
“The collapse of the G City shelter was entirely due to these people’s bottomless greed! And in a situation of scarce resources, they refused to migrate voluntarily!”
Those who had escaped from the G City shelter retorted angrily.
But those who had begun to hesitate did not show any signs of easing up because of this.
Their hesitation wasn’t due to the reasons for the G City shelter’s collapse, but rather their reverence for authority and their fear of the consequence of building an underground city.
In the crowd, Tang Guo, Peng Yue, Zhong Heng, and others exchanged glances, feeling that the situation was getting out of control.
“Everyone, put down your guns!”
Just then, Tang Li stepped forward and said to everyone.
“Captain!”
“Captain Tang!”
Seeing Tang Li, greetings came from all around the crowd.
These were from the G City underground city’s guards as well as members of the “United Team.”
Tang Li moved to the front and said to the胖子, “I am the captain of the ‘United Team’ from the Jiang City shelter’s Mercenary Guild. May I ask for the name of this esteemed leader?”
“My surname is Fan. You can call me Special Envoy Fan.”
Seeing that the people on the opposite side had indeed lowered their guns, the胖子 had his armed personnel lower theirs as well, and said proudly.
“Special Envoy Fan, since you have come from afar, please join us in the underground city. We can discuss matters in detail inside.”
Tang Li said to the胖子 with the surname Fan.
“Hmph, wouldn’t it have been better if you had said so earlier? You made us wait in this freezing cold for so long…”
The胖子 Fan was also quite pleased.
However, the G City underground city’s guards advised Tang Li,
“Captain Tang, absolutely not! We cannot hand over our underground city to this dead胖子!”
“Yes, why should they benefit from the underground city we worked so hard to build for free?”
Everyone understood what the special envoy team from the Hai City Governor’s Mansion was here for.
Therefore, everyone voiced their opposition.
Even some who had escaped from the G City shelter raised their guns and aimed them at the胖子 Fan.
“Quickly disarm him!”
Tang Li saw this and quickly gave a command. The guard next to the man immediately snatched the gun from his hand.
Following this, she said to Zhong Heng,
“Captain Zhong, have our team members collect all weapons from the G City underground city guards. Not a single bullet should be left behind!”
Zhong Heng understood Tang Li’s intention immediately.
