As Wang Hai'an's voice faded, before Zhao Xiyue could respond, a clear and decisive voice retorted:
"I don't think so. Although His Majesty the Emperor now possesses the capital to change the apocalypse, that is limited only to His Majesty himself."
"If we take it for granted that the apocalypse has been conquered by us and we can dispatch large numbers of elites to unite with other camps, I think that is simply blind arrogance."
"If I may ask, if we encounter another monster tide attacking the city, and all our elites have left, how can we guarantee the safety of everyone?"
"Moreover, how can we guarantee that our elites will not suffer losses while traversing the apocalypse?"
The speaker was a short-haired girl, a commando member by Zhao Longchuan's side, Jiang Chenchen.
"Actually, there's no need to worry about this matter at all. When I said dispatch elites, I didn't say we wouldn't leave behind some forces for self-preservation."
"The Emperor's two daughters are perfectly capable of protecting the Fourth and Fifth Wall Cities."
"As for the Sixth and Seventh Wall Cities, they currently have fewer residents and are still in the development stage, so we won't consider them for now."
Wang Hai'an said calmly.
"Furthermore... everyone should also know that although we have a large population now, it is still far from enough for a species."
"Just as Jiang Chenchen said, our strong individuals cannot traverse the apocalypse without hindrance. What does this indicate?"
"It means that the so-called strong are not strong enough!"
"If our cities are too far apart, how can we have enough strong individuals to defend them?"
"Instead of retreating to a corner early, it's better to train hard. It can also increase the number of survivors in our camp. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?!"
After Wang Hai'an finished speaking, more than half of the people present sided with him.
The reason was simple: through the enfeoffment conference tonight, everyone realized a problem.
The size of official positions and power was related to the number of survivors.
Although it was called enfeoffment now, in reality, everyone's positions had not changed much.
Except for those like Wang Hai'an, who had survival experience in the apocalypse and were strong yellow-ringed reincarnators, they could be promoted quickly.
The organizational framework of other camp managers was almost fixed.
For example, Zhao Longchuan was the head of the Wolf Fang camp, so the area he managed was still the Wolf Fang camp, and his position was City Lord.
The managers below him still performed their respective duties with little change, and all the manager positions were filled.
If others in the camp wanted to stand out and advance further, they could only go to the newly established cities where there were many vacant management positions.
Therefore, gathering more and more survivors, especially blue-ringed survivors, was greatly beneficial for the promotion of everyone present.
Although there were only two cities now, both managed by heavyweight figures like Zhao Longchuan and Wang Zihao.
What if there were ten or twenty cities in the future? That would be twenty times the management positions.
Promotion would naturally be like flying.
If they were lucky enough to become a City Lord, they would easily be on equal footing with Zhao Longchuan and others, which would be incredibly satisfying!
This was an opportunity only available in the early stages of establishing a dynasty. If it were later, when the population stabilized and the city's organizational structure stabilized, it would be difficult to rise unless the leader made a big mistake, was eaten by monsters, or retired.
Thus, with Wang Hai'an's casual suggestion, he immediately gained the support of those who reacted quickly.
In the final vote, Wang Hai'an received more than half of the support, and the exploration plan was thus passed in its preliminary draft.
The crowd continued to research for more than an hour before dispersing with exhilarated expressions.
Only Zhao Xiyue remained in the conference room, still engrossed in organizing the materials to report to Zhang Chen.
"Still not resting? It's already past midnight!"
Zhang Chen suddenly emerged from the shadows.
He had hidden in the shadows earlier because he didn't want others to know he was at the door.
"Brother Chen? Ah, no... Your Majesty the Emperor..."
Zhao Xiyue's face lit up with joy, then she quickly corrected herself.
"Alright, don't be so polite with me. Just call me by my old name."
"Besides, I don't have any attachment to fame and power like that."
Zhang Chen waved his hand with a smile and helped Zhao Xiyue up.
Their hands clasped together, and Zhang Chen felt Zhao Xiyue's small hand was boneless and her skin incredibly smooth.
"Brother Chen..."
Zhao Xiyue nodded and quickly handed over the documents she had just organized on the table.
She had intended to withdraw her other hand as well, but Zhang Chen was holding on too tightly. After a slight struggle, she simply let him hold it.
"These are the contents we just discussed in the meeting. I'll tell you one by one. If you have no objections, you can just sign it!"
Zhao Xiyue said.
"Okay, tell me! I'm listening!"
Zhang Chen looked at the youthful and beautiful Zhao Xiyue before him. Although her figure wasn't as sexy and exaggerated as Katerina's, she still possessed a sweet, first-love aura.
Especially her delicate pink swan neck, her slender waist that could be held by one hand, and her pair of straight, long legs...
She was wearing a white shirt on top and tight-fitting jeans on the bottom.
Although these clothes were very conservative and revealed almost nothing, they perfectly showcased Zhao Xiyue's figure.
Zhang Chen sat down beside Zhao Xiyue.
Zhao Xiyue had also intended to sit down, but she had forgotten that one of her hands was still tightly held by Zhang Chen. As a result, she lost her balance and sat directly on Zhang Chen's lap.
*Poof!*
Her delicate face instantly turned crimson, but she maintained a professional demeanor and reported with a serious expression:
"We have compiled the issues recently reflected by survivors and marked those within our authority."
Zhang Chen's face was close to Zhao Xiyue's neck, and he could smell the fragrance of shampoo emanating from her.
She was like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally unadorned.
Zhao Xiyue didn't need makeup; even with a bare face, she was captivating enough to enchant the world.
Zhang Chen naturally reached out to embrace Zhao Xiyue's small waist, but her waist was simply too slender. The pants were likely difficult to find in such a small waist size, so they were slightly loose.
Unintentionally, Zhang Chen's large hands slipped inside behind Zhao Xiyue through the waistband of her pants.
A cool and smooth sensation!
"Most of them have already been assigned to personnel for implementation, but there are a few plans that require your review before... Ah..."
Zhao Xiyue felt a warmth suddenly spread beneath her waist. She was both shy and annoyed, but also somewhat helpless as she glared at Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen felt a bit embarrassed and was about to apologize...
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiyue continued her report, as if she had tacitly accepted his action.
Zhang Chen: *Hiss... This time, who dares to call me a dense straight man?!*
