"The voting results are in regarding the unconditional handover of the G City underground city."
After the results were announced, Tang Guo walked back onto the stage to declare to everyone in the underground city:
"Those who agreed, abstained, and opposed accounted for 1.9%, 39.2%, and 58.9% respectively."
"The majority are against it, so we will not surrender the G City underground city unconditionally!"
Tang Guo's words brought a sigh of relief to many in the underground city.
However, some also erupted in curses.
"What do you mean? You're just going to refuse to hand it over?"
"I'm here to inform you that the Haicheng Governor's Mansion intends to requisition this G City underground city. We are not here to seek your opinions or your consent!"
"Whether you agree or disagree, this underground city is ours!"
Fan Fatty, seeing that all his efforts had resulted in this outcome, immediately became indignant.
Tang Li smiled and said, "Special Envoy Fan, an unconditional handover won't work. Perhaps we can discuss a conditional handover. I believe the residents of our underground city are reasonable people."
However, Fan Fatty paid no heed and retorted, "Conditional? You still want conditions?"
"According to regulations, the supplies held by the 'Apocalypse Mall' and the materials you used to build the underground city should be handed over to the authorities. Have you handed them over?"
"Our Haicheng Governor's Mansion is already showing leniency by overlooking your past collusion with the 'Apocalypse Mall.' Are you still trying to negotiate terms?"
Tang Li reminded him, "The materials we used to build the G City underground city were legally acquired through transactions with the Jiangcheng authorities."
Fan Fatty waved his hand, "I don't care what transactions you had with the Jiangcheng authorities."
"G City is under the jurisdiction of the Haicheng Governor's Mansion. Since you are currently in G City, you are subject to the control of the Haicheng Governor's Mansion."
"If we say the 'Apocalypse Mall' is a criminal organization, then it is a criminal organization. If we say you are accomplices of the 'Apocalypse Mall,' then you are accomplices of the 'Apocalypse Mall'!"
"You had better voluntarily surrender the G City underground city. Otherwise, when our 300,000 troops arrive, you will all be sent to construct underground cities, just like the criminals of the 'Apocalypse Mall'!"
Fan Fatty was among the crowd below.
He spoke in a loud voice.
Every word he uttered was transmitted through television sets to the ears of every resident in the underground city.
Seeing Fan Fatty's demeanor, Tang Li couldn't help but feel delighted.
This kind of person was a legendary 'pig teammate,' someone who exclusively delivered kills to the opponent.
Given his current conduct, it was no wonder that the G City shelter had collapsed despite the presence of the 'Apocalypse Mall.'
It was a miracle that he could rise to a high position in the G City shelter.
Those who could establish a shelter couldn't be brainless.
His dominance over the G City shelter after the great drought was likely due to the truly capable individuals being either driven mad by him or sacrificing themselves for him.
Meanwhile, the citizens watching the television in the underground city began to argue amongst themselves.
Especially those who had voted to surrender the underground city had their own reasons:
"The common people cannot fight the officials! The Haicheng authorities have 300,000 troops and various modern weapons. We cannot resist them..."
"That person just now was indeed not a good person, but he was just a scoundrel. How can you want to oppose the entire Haicheng authorities because of him? This is utterly irrational!"
"I obtained supplies from the 'Apocalypse Mall' by spending points! My points were earned through collecting scrap items and my labor!"
"...When I am powerless, why should I die along with the 'Apocalypse Mall'?"
