Chapter 903: Chapter 874: Heated Debate

Even if Chen Feng didn’t utter a word, the faces of those sitting around the round table had already turned grave, for sitting in the chief position was none other than the very founder of this city!

Especially since Chen Feng’s strength had already reached Half-Step Epic, sitting among a group of Golden Tier individuals, he appeared as a crane among chickens, making it hard for people to conceal their inner fear.

Under such an emotion, everyone seemed to be sitting on pins and needles, with some occasionally wiping sweat, clearly suffering a lot of inner torment.

Chen Feng did not maintain this for long; he understood the gap between these people and himself. Even if he did not intentionally exude an aura, the gap between tiers still made them feel as though they were shouldering a mountain, an indescribable feeling of pressure.

"Order has discovered a new faction; according to reports, it is likely an alliance formed by several parties, with a population possibly exceeding that of Order. The main content of today’s meeting is to discuss how to face this situation." Chen Feng gently tapped the table with his fingers and then spoke.

Once the words fell, everyone remained overly tense, which somewhat displeased Chen Feng. He couldn’t help but slightly frown and say, "What? Does no one have any ideas?"

Chen Feng’s voice was somewhat cold, causing a pause in the hearts of those seated around him. However, luckily, they were each in a senior position in various departments and had some real abilities. It was just that Chen Feng’s pressure was too great, which caused their composure to falter a bit. Under such circumstances, they knew they could no longer remain silent, so they began a small-scale discussion.

Different personalities naturally lead to different approaches. Chen Feng did not restrict free discussion, and after about ten minutes, he detected some differences.

Generally speaking, there were two factions: one advocating unification, championing human supremacy, arguing that with monsters rampant, humans should unite. Only by doing so could they overcome the crisis and return to past prosperity.

The other faction believed that Order was the world’s only hope—as they had witnessed the miracles brought by Order—and were convinced that only under Chen Feng’s high-pressure governance and legal constraints could people thrive and eventually restore past glory!

Of course, there were also a few who were indecisive, not knowing which path to choose.

Even though Chen Feng did not speak, his Spiritual Power observed everyone’s discussions. Yet, oddly enough, the three new members entrusted with heavy responsibilities by Xu Hongzhuang and Wei Xun remained silent, sitting quietly listening.

"Let’s hear what you have to suggest." After a few minutes had passed, Chen Feng waved, causing everyone’s voices to abruptly stop. He then gestured, and the one pointed out was Wang Xudong, who possessed a beast bloodline.

"Sir." Wang Xudong looked towards Chen Feng, still displaying a somewhat honest smile on his face. He did not refuse; after pondering for a few seconds, he spoke: "My suggestion is... invasion!"

"Oh?"

One may know a person’s face but not their heart. Despite Wang Xudong’s honest appearance, who could have imagined that his suggestion would be invasion? Understandably, this wouldn’t be a minor skirmish of a few thousand people; Order was confronting an alliance with a population of several hundred thousand. If they indeed entered into war, the casualties would be unimaginable.

"Oh?" Chen Feng showed interest upon hearing this and said, "Then tell me, why do you have such a suggestion?"

Wang Xudong’s smile slowly faded, replaced by a murderous aura on his face instead of the former honesty. He solemnly stated: "Sir, I may not have been with Order for long, but I have also witnessed its rise. The world is destroyed, the people’s hearts are scattered, no one knows what dwells in others’ minds! Under such circumstances, it’s impossible to quickly assess the human nature of the leaders of other factions. Rather than slowly exploring, it would be better to cut through the chaos swiftly, slaughtering the leadership, and merging their population into Order!"

"I believe that this apocalypse is akin to a jungle, an era of survival of the fittest. We’ve discovered the opposition—just like predators spotting prey—there should be no hesitation, we should pounce in one go and bite their throats!"

"After all..." Wang Xudong dragged his voice out: "The current situation favors us. We are in the dark, and they are in the light. Once we press our borders, that so-called alliance will panic, and when the time comes, we can win through chaos, kill the high-level figures, and seize all ownership of that alliance!"

At this point, Wang Xudong’s demeanor had completely transformed. If before he was an honest bear cub, now he had become a true predator. When he used beastly metaphors for humans, a hint of red sparks twinkled in his eyes, making the audience’s scalp tingle.

"Kekeke... Wang Xudong, do you know what you’re saying? Calamity has struck, and the surroundings of Order have long been destroyed. Now is the time for industries to revitalize, Order is progressing day by day. Invasion? Battle? Has it crossed your mind how many will die in such a large-scale conflict? How many families will be destroyed?"

A voice of reprimand echoed from the side. However, the initial laughter was extremely jarring, while following inquiries became quite crisp. The former resembled an elderly voice, while the latter belonged to a young maiden.

Li Sisi!

She voiced her disagreement with Wang Xudong’s proposal!

The conjoined twins transformed into such a form after awakening. If it were an average person, their mind would likely have snapped. Yet, Li Sisi was no ordinary person. Even in the peaceful era, despite being a conjoined twin, she worked exceptionally hard, gaining admission to a top-three university in Huaxia back then. After that, she advanced rapidly, not only succeeding in postgraduate studies but even being specially recruited as a university lecturer after completing her postdoctoral studies!

She was far from being as simple as she appeared. Even in the peaceful era, she had published numerous papers, a genuine talent!

After all, ordinary people have just one brain, but she was a malformed conjoined twin, duo-brained, thus learning became exceptionally efficient. Often, she could read two books simultaneously, acquiring knowledge beyond the reach of ordinary people!

At this moment, compared to Wang Xudong’s violent proposal, Li Sisi offered a different viewpoint. She paid no heed to Wang Xudong’s fierce gaze; instead, both her heads turned toward Chen Feng. The elderly head rested quietly aside, while the maiden’s face gently spoke: "Sir, I have a different suggestion!"

"Currently, Order appears mighty but is equally unstable. What we should do now is consolidate, not invade. Therefore, my suggestion is cooperation, unlike some brainless individuals advocating violent plunder!"
