“President Yang, you certainly made me search high and low!”
“Your stronghold is indeed in this Haicheng Underground City!”
Tang Li said with a smile, looking at the combat mechs before her.
Song Pinxuan’s combat mech technology was public, and the Z country’s official forces could produce them. Furthermore, every governor’s mansion and underground city possessed its own industrial capabilities to manufacture combat mechs.
Therefore, Tang Li was not surprised that the Z country branch of the Holy Light organization possessed combat mechs.
From the combat mech that had just spoken, another voice came, saying to Tang Li:
“Captain Tang is joking. We were hard to find, but in the end, you still found us, didn’t you?”
“Speaking of hard to find, the power behind your ‘Apocalypse Mall’ is truly hard to find!”
“No matter how I searched, how I thought, or how I guessed, I could never find, nor understand, nor guess where you store your supplies.” kuAiδugg
“Moreover, the Haicheng Governor’s Mansion is so tightly guarded. Where did your army of mechs break through the defenses and surround our Haicheng Governor’s Mansion?”
By the end of his speech, President Yang’s voice was filled with confusion and bewilderment.
After being betrayed by the R country branch of the Holy Light organization and fleeing to Haicheng, President Yang had gone into hiding and was secretly planning to seize control of the Haicheng Governor’s Mansion.
They had taken control of the construction site of the Haicheng Underground City and intentionally controlled the construction progress.
Before the great tsunami, everyone evacuated Haicheng, leaving only the criminals who were working. They tampered with the surveillance, causing a 15-minute delay in the transmitted audio and video.
Just before the great tsunami arrived, they completed the sealing of the earth and moved into the Haicheng Underground City.
However, to the outside world, the surveillance only showed the scene of the Haicheng Underground City’s collapse.
After being frozen by the seawater, they used the method of digging tunnels under the ice and snow from last year’s extreme cold season to open the underground city’s entrance on the sea surface, which had already been frozen.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the great tsunami, they unknowingly took control of the Haicheng Governor’s Mansion and issued orders to the stationed troops in the southern region and various official shelters.
They confiscated all quantum communication devices from everyone in the southern region, plunging the southern region into a state of communication blackout once again, with internal messages unable to get out and external messages unable to get in.
Even those who did not manage to confiscate their quantum communication devices in time and had contacted the outside world did not know what had happened in the Haicheng Governor’s Mansion.
By the time the extreme cold season ended and the officials wanted to regain control of the southern region, they would discover that the southern region had already been turned into an ironclad fortress by them.
The 300,000 troops stationed in the Haicheng military region, having had their quantum communication devices confiscated, were unable to receive orders from their superiors and could only obey the orders of the Haicheng Governor’s Mansion, which they controlled.
They used these 300,000 troops to provide layered protection for the Haicheng Governor’s Mansion that they controlled.
At the same time, they planned to use supplies and underground city quotas to attract some of those who obeyed them, control weapons, and eliminate some of those who did not.
Once they moved into the underground city and entered a sealed state, other official bodies would be unable to do anything to them.
And if they had to dig open the underground city, they also had an army that inherited all the weapons and equipment of the Haicheng Governor’s District, so their combat strength would not be weak.
They gambled that in this harsh climate, with scarce resources and insufficient manpower, the government would not dispatch troops from other governor’s districts for a long expedition to the southern region when the odds were not in their favor.
The inevitable outcome would be the government tacitly accepting their control over the southern region through the Haicheng Governor’s Mansion.
As for where the supplies to win people’s hearts came from?
They had set their sights on “Boss Li, the Universal Merchant” of the “Apocalypse Mall,” wanting to find his storage location for supplies. This was why they had sent people to test the G City Underground City in the first place.
However, they had not found any clues.
Apart from dispatching 50 large passenger buses to the Jiangcheng Governor’s Mansion jurisdiction the next day, the G City Underground City remained completely sealed, with no supplies entering or exiting.
Then, on March 22nd, their controlled Haicheng Governor’s Mansion, which was protected by layers of 300,000 troops, was suddenly surrounded by an army of mechs.
President Yang still had no idea where the surrounding army of mechs had broken through the layered defenses to reach the outside of the Governor’s Mansion.
“Do you possess spatial technology, allowing you to traverse spatial obstacles and teleport items directly?”
“Or perhaps… you have the spatial ability to store or release items at any time and place, as often mentioned in novels?”
Hearing President Yang’s words, Tang Li’s heart skipped a beat.
However, she maintained her smile, her expression as calm as ever, saying, “President Yang, you shouldn’t try to get information from me!”
Seeing Tang Li’s reaction, President Yang’s eyes revealed undisguised disappointment.
Behind Tang Li, more than a dozen mechs were also flying towards them in a mobile formation.
The time left for President Yang was running out.
President Yang looked at Tang Li and sighed, “Captain Tang, you made a fatal mistake, do you know?”
