Chapter 1577: Chapter 910: The Fourth Assembly
“Mr. Liang, everyone is here.”
At 1:30 in the afternoon, at the Yangshan Leader’s Mansion, leaders from the six Floating Islands and nearby Floating Islands had all arrived.
Even the Floating Island leaders from Ji’an City had rushed over.
For Lin Qiuyue, Liu Xisheng, and others, they are actually closer to Yangshan compared to Embryo.
Moreover, both Liu Xisheng and Lin Qiuyue are clear on one point: Yangshan Island near Linjiang City is the core of Yangshan’s power.
So they naturally would want to make an effort to be closer here.
Only in this way can they approach the core level of the Yangshan Shelter.
Of course, they are not the only ones with this idea.
The Lightning Law King and Liu Qinghong also came.
Although they belong to the high-level in Embryo, because the Thunder Penalty Island of the Lightning Law King, along with another Floating Island, are both over Ji’an City, very close to Linjiang City, he did not go to Embryo and made a special trip here.
And this is not his first visit.
After meeting Liang Yuan last time, he returned to Thunder Penalty Island and took time to come to Yangshan.
The development of Yangshan Island overturned his imagination; it’s an absolutely more prosperous shelter than Embryo’s peak era.
It’s not just the prosperity, the law and order here is also quite good.
There are laws and rules here, and Hong Lei, the Lightning Law King, knows very well that to maintain such a legal system, there must be a power to suppress any opposition.
Only in this way can a set of rules function completely.
Obviously, Mr. Liang holds absolute control over Yangshan Island.
And a set of laws that everyone abides by is the most crucial factor for the stability of the entire shelter.
And Yangshan not only has a safe legal system but also has a very diversified range of supplies and various complete infrastructures.
The development of Yangshan Island is not much worse than a third-tier city before the apocalypse.
Hong Lei was even more astonished to find that there were telephones and mobile phones here, and even cybercafés!
This discovery greatly shocked him.
This is a significant step in the restoration of human civilization.
He quickly inquired and found out that the phones and computers were using a local area network.
This means they could only be used within the scope of Yangshan Island.
After all, the satellites in the sky are probably all gone, so achieving long-distance communication is impossible.
Yet even so, it was enough to astonish Hong Lei.
This further reinforced his determination to get closer to Yangshan Island’s development.
Hong Lei thought this way, and naturally, many other island leaders from Ji’an City also saw the enormous potential of the Yangshan Shelter.
Among them, the Floating Island farthest from Yangshan had already reached the edge of Yu Province.
But even so, the island’s leader still resolutely decided to move the entire Floating Island towards Yangshan.
Another one, Liu Qinghong, doesn’t even need to be mentioned; she’s already been influenced by the Soul Imprisonment Rune, and she’s always centered around Liang Yuan, with the owner’s interests above all else.
When she heard about the Japanese heading north, she was the first to respond and return.
Inside the Leader’s Mansion, many masters were gathered.
Even when Hong Lei and others entered, their eyelids couldn’t help but twitch slightly.
In front of him was a woman with a perfect figure and face, wearing a crown, like the queen of an Ice and Snow Kingdom.
The powerful aura she exuded was no less than Hong Lei’s.
Hong Lei took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.
It seems that Mr. Liang did not bring this woman when he marched north to Embryo this time.
What does this mean?
It shows that Mr. Liang is very confident in his own strength.
Otherwise, such a master would not be left behind but rather stay in the rear.
He took another look around and saw some familiar faces.
Zhou Haoran, Yu Wentao…
These were the earliest people to occupy the Floating Islands above Linjiang City.
Previously, they were in close contact with each other.
Unexpectedly, now they have turned misfortune into a blessing by being the first to pledge allegiance to Yangshan.
Watching these two, who once had a lower status than himself, now mingling warmly with Yangshan’s high-ranking officials, Hong Lei felt a complex mix of emotions.
At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside the door.
Everyone turned to look back.
They saw Liang Yuan accompanied by Yang Mei, Song Wen, Dong Yan, and others, walking in unhurriedly.
Hong Lei was surprised, unable to resist asking Liu Qinghong beside him in a low voice.
“Lady Liu, who are the two beside Mr. Liang?”
“That’s Yang Mei, head of the Yangshan Comprehensive Department, Song Wen, Minister of Agriculture, and Dong Yan, Director of the Breeding Park.”
Hong Lei was slightly taken aback and took a closer look at the three women, all of whom were stunning beauties.
But that wasn’t the main point; the main point was that he felt these women didn’t seem very strong.
Especially the Minister of the Comprehensive Department, Yang Mei, who seemed to have just reached the Genetic Reorganization Realm.
This made him feel somewhat incredulous.
He knew about the Comprehensive Department, which was a very important department of Yangshan.
The Yangshan Complex outside was managed by the Comprehensive Department.
Even key departments like the Human Resources Department were subject to interference from the Comprehensive Department.
Such an important department, and the minister was actually a woman with low power?
As if sensing his thoughts, Lady Liu glanced at him lightly and said, “She is also Mr. Liang’s woman, the kind who had a child for Mr. Liang.”
Hong Lei’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately withdrew his gaze, saying, “Indeed, a perfect match.”
Lady Liu chuckled and said, “All those ladies belong to Mr. Liang.”
Hong Lei was stunned, then shook his head with a bitter smile, realizing he should have expected it after being around Jin Shirong for so long.
At this moment, Liang Yuan had already taken a seat with several women.
He then looked around and smiled, “Everyone, I have been away for a week this time. Surely some of you know a bit about the north’s Sprout and Kerry Technology.”
“Let me brief everyone today.”
“Currently, Sprout and Kerry Technology have completely become part of our Yangshan. Enemies like Jin Shirong have also been executed by me.”
“Starting today, Sprout and Kerry Technology will become part of Yangshan, and in due time, these places will engage in trade with Yangshan Island.”
“Moreover, I’ve left many personnel there to handle matters, and soon some people over there will be partially relocated here, and some of our people will move there.”
“Of course, this is temporary. In a few days, Yangshan Island will advance northward to meet with other Floating Islands, forming a larger Yangshan Archipelago.”
“By that time, there will be no distinction between Sprout and Kerry Technology. Everyone will be part of the Yangshan Shelter.”
As his words fell, everyone applauded and cheered, with many showing expressions of pride.
Excitement and joy were all written on their faces.
The stronger Yangshan became, the more they benefited, that was undoubted.
Subsequently, Liang Yuan targeted the detailed work related to Sprout and Kerry Technology, making some arrangements, including personnel transfers.
After finishing this matter, Liang Yuan shifted the topic to the issue of the Japanese invasion from the south.
“Everyone, after talking about the northern matters, there is another important topic for this conference.”
“Concerning the southern invasion by Japan.”
“Surely many of you are already aware.”
“Currently, Japan is aggressive in the south, rapidly expanding, not only invading multiple places in Guangdong and Min Provinces but also plundering resources, seizing Floating Islands, and killing our compatriots.”
“Now, they are relentlessly pursuing and are about to enter Jiangnan Province.”
“A hundred kilometers away from us, six Floating Islands are stationed; these six Floating Islands are the only ones to escape from the southern brothers.”
“Island Master Qu, Island Master Meng, you brothers from Guangdong and Min Provinces, please introduce yourselves and tell everyone about the situation in the south.”
Qu Jin, Meng Hu, and several others were named and promptly stood up.
To be honest, it was their first time attending such a high-level conference.
Previously, on their respective Floating Islands, they were the bosses, ruling absolutely.
At most, they would consult a few trusted subordinates to discuss matters.
But today’s occasion, formal like a people’s congress, made them feel a heavy gravity from within.
As a result, they couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
Fortunately, they had seen the world, so Qu Jin and the others first began by introducing themselves.
Then they started to recount the actions of the Japanese in the south.
“These Japanese can barely be called human, they are simply beasts.”
“My hometown used to be the capital of Guangdong Province, where there were originally three large Floating Islands with nearly a hundred thousand people.”
“However, after the Japanese invasion, the three Floating Islands for ten thousand people were bombed by a radiation bomb, leaving none alive, all dead or mutated.”
“That was a hundred thousand people who had survived the great flood disaster and overcame countless hardships to reach the Floating Islands.”
“People thought that with Floating Islands, they could live and rebuild their homes.”
“But this gang of beasts…”
Qu Jin’s eyes turned red, and tears flowed as he spoke of past events.
He had relatives on those three large Floating Islands; he originally lived there as well.
But during that time, he happened to go fishing for Mutant Fish with a friend and went out to sea.
It was that expedition that completely changed his destiny.
During that sea trip, he unexpectedly discovered the current Crystal Island and became the island lord.
When he returned, he found the three major Floating Islands occupied by the Japanese, filled with monsters and corpses.
He was beside himself with grief, surviving crises by the skin of his teeth and escaping back to his Crystal Island.
Afterward, he dared not stay and quickly steered the Crystal Island northward from Guangdong Province.
All the way, he kept encountering survivors and kept telling them about this incident.
Initially, no one believed him, as the Guangdong Province Shelter at the time had no technology to undertake long journeys and confirm the story.
Fuming, Qu Jin continued his northward journey, wanting to reach higher ground, where he might encounter the army of Dragon Country.
Then he could request help from the army.
Heading north in this way, he managed to avoid the subsequent Japanese pursuit.
Later, he rescued many people escaping from the south, and only after inquiring did he learn that the Japanese hadn’t stopped and were still invading them.
With more and more survivors arriving at Crystal Island, everyone realized the Japanese had launched aggressive wars across the regions of Guangdong Province, wantonly slaughtering Dragon Country people and seizing Floating Islands.
