Translator: _Min_Editor: Caron_

In the morning, a bustling crowd gathered in front of the bank.

Merchants, mercenaries, hunters, even scavengers - everyone surrounded the bank. People's emotions were heightened with excitement evident on their faces. Under the ushering of the security forces in first division uniforms, people formed a long line as they waited for the Sixth Street bank to open at eight.

The reason why people were so excited was because of an inspiring speech yesterday.

”… Everyone, in the past 21 years, we used our hands to prove our prosperity.” Zhao Chenwu stood at the podium in front of the council building as he used a passionate voice to speak to the crowd gathered.

”From being abandoned by the PAC to facing the mutant waves alone, to the bacteria that swept across the city, to the despairing betrayal…” He gradually lowered his tone.

”But we won against all odds!” He tightly clenched his fists and raised his voice again as he used a compelling voice, ”We used the new order we established to give the middle finger to the old authorities. We used our high walls and cannons to fend off zombies and mutants. We used our tanks to eradicate the bacteria source that affected our entire city. And we used the laws of the council to punish the traitors!”

”And we welcomed radiance.” He slowed down again as he looked at the crowd with a stern but proud gaze.

The listeners all held their breaths.

”But just as we were about to celebrate our prosperity, an unfortunate and remorseful event occurred.”

”As most of you already heard, our friends in Jia city, the warriors who fought against the mutant humans' invasion, have fallen.”

”And right now, the barbarians in the west are swinging their clubs and challenging us: 'look, we caught your little neighbor and cut off his di*k. Are you afraid? Haha, we'll be doing the same thing to you soon!' Right now, tell me, could you all accept this kind of humiliation! Could you?”

There was no response below the podium, but Zhao Chenwu discerned from the faces of the crowd that they couldn't.

He took a deep breath as he spoke again.

”It's small compared to the size of the entire wasteland; it couldn't even be considered a grain. But we must protect its growth and care for it so it can radiate its brightness to places even farther. That's right, it is the radiance we see, a radiance known as order! And the first step to reach this great cause is to lubricate the road of our tank with the organs of those bastards! Then, we will free our friends!” His voice changed from deep and somber to high and enthusiastic, completely igniting passion in all the bystanders.

”Long live the Sixth Street!” people shouted and roared.

”Long live the NAC!”

”Kill those di*kless bastards!”

”...”

He raised his hand to signal the crowd to settle down as he flipped his script to the next page.ing

”Right now, I'm announcing the decision on the council's behalf. The Sixth Street will declare war on the mutated humans in the Seventh Area.

While he said that he looked at Chu Nan by the side. As the governor, Chu Nan represented the military government.

According to the constitution of the Sixth Street, the military government had a veto right for motions passed by the council. Of course, it was just ceremonial since the impassioned speech was arranged by the military government.

Chu Nan stood up and looked solemnly at the crowd below the podium.

”Granted.”

Thunderous applause erupted.

With unified public opinion, Zhao Chenwu took the opportunity to announce the war bond and recruitment motions.

This show went far more smoothly than he imagined.
