202 The Choice (2/2)

Third. Accept Zhao Chenwu's request for help and send out forces to help the Sixth Street.

To be honest, the second and third options were both tempting.

The mutated humans suffer a significant loss if they march west. Along with the Defenders, it was a great opportunity to completely eliminate the mutated human beings in the Seventh area.

But if they respond to Zhao Chenwu's request for help and send out forces to the Sixth Street, it would also bring a considerable amount of gains.

Zhao Chenwu's offer was attractive enough. If he helped the Group of Ten council, the weapon export restriction would no longer apply to him. Therefore, he could purchase power armors from the Sixth Street to equip his force.

A tent was set up in the middle of the base.

Within the base, Jiang Chen gathered Sun Jiao, Chu Nan, and Cheng Weiguo for a quick meeting.

”There are a lot of choices in front of us. I want to listen to your opinions,” Jiang Chen said straightforwardly.

”If we could gain contact with the Defender Alliance in Jia City. Capitalizing on our victory is not a bad choice. If we can't, even without an armored vehicle, there are still around two thousand mutated humans stationed in the Seventh area. The safer choice would be to reinforce along the river,” Cheng Weiguo gave an unbiased response.

Jiang Chen nodded, he didn't make a comment but instead looked at Sun Jiao.

”What do you think?”

”I support your decision,” Sun Jiao smiled and said.

”But I still want to listen to your opinion.”

”I personally don't agree with providing assistance.”

”Oh? Why?”

”It has happened twice. When we encountered problems, he never sent help to us. Now that he has a problem, maybe we could sell him a few barrels of explosives,” Sun Jiao said ruthlessly.

Hearing that, Jiang Chen smiled and didn't comment.

It was indeed Sun Jiao. Such a simple and direct response was indeed her style.

The few barrels of explosives would pay back the high-energy vacuum bomb Zhao Chenwu sold him last time. As for help, he did offer them some, and he did take some risks to do so.

Although it would be thrilling to take an eye for an eye, it was infeasible for the base.

As the leader of force, he should consider collective interest, not childish actions.

”What do you think?” Jiang Chen looked at Chu Nan.

”I agree with sending out a force.” Chu Nan smiled.

”Because of power armors?”

To Jiang Chen's surprise, Chu Nan shook his head.

”There is absolutely no need for that.”

Chu Nan paused as he looked at Jiang Chen, then continued.

”Backstabbing each other, this is the end of the Group of Ten Council. It is not a bad idea for a new wise leader to rule the place.”

Everyone in the tent held their breath.

Jiang Chen stared at Chu Nan dumbfoundedly, his expression was odd.

Just as he was about to say something, Cheng Weiguo already said what he wanted to say.

”Do you know how many people are in the Sixth Street's civil force? A total of 560 people!”

”How many would be left after this civil war? Especially when no one knows the ability of those soldiers.” Chu Nan laughed nonchalantly.

”Not only the force, but influence is also a factor. With the combination of the two, they could deter the small military forces around the Sixth Street, but if it was us...”

”Now that everyone's strength has been spent on the city center. Mercenaries, hunting team for that one million crystals mission, the Group of Ten council for that sky-based weapon wreckage, the Sixth Street is at its weakest! There is only one opportunity. We could use the name of providing assistance to enter the inner circle and start a coup. As long as we control the inner circle, the Sixth Street would be under our control.” Just he said these words, Chu Nan's eyes were locked onto Jiang Chen's.

”This is a gamble. Can I hear the reason for this proposal?” Jiang Chen pondered for a moment before he spoke out.

”Because I trust you. Only you can bring real order to this wasteland.”
