"Dad! Now I seriously suspect that there is something wrong with this kid Li Yang! And there is a big problem!"
Wang Lei looked at Li Yang angrily and was about to hit him.
"You suspect that Li Yang has a problem? Then tell me, what is his problem?"
Wang Kunlin glanced at his son and then glanced at the prominent figures present.
"I suspect that this kid Li Yang has no good intentions! He said he wanted to join Fortress No. 1, which is no problem.
But he wants to move all the people in Dungeon No. 6 and live in Fortress No. 1. This is a problem!
As far as I know, there are at least nearly 10,000 people in Dungeon No. 6. In addition, they have just conquered the Black Abyss Dungeon. The total number of people in these two dungeons is almost 20,000.
With so many people living in Fortress No. 1, food and clothing are a huge expense.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is whether these 20,000 people will obey the management of our No. 1 Fortress, or will they work independently?
If they work in separate camps, it sets a very bad precedent for Fortress One, which means we can't manage them effectively.
So we can't manage them effectively, but we still let them live in Fortress No. 1. Then aren't we too stupid, and what do we want?
You can't make such big concessions and sacrifices just because Li Yang helped us once, right?
Is that right, guys? Do you want to see 20,000 people living in Fortress No. 1, not subject to our rules? "
In the end, Wang Lei was very provocative and asked everyone to speak. However, these prominent figures agreed with his point of view and felt that this matter might develop to a disadvantage for them.
"Yes! Mr. Wang is right. We cannot allow this to happen. This is a dove occupying a magpie's nest. We must be careful!"
"That's right! You know people but don't know their hearts! Especially when so many people live in Fortress No. 1, it is very dangerous and we don't agree with it."
Wang Kunlin looked at everyone calmly, and then said: "Don't listen to my son's nonsense. I believe Li Yang is not this kind of person, and the people in Dungeon No. 6 will not do such things.
And I haven't made a decision on this matter yet, so there's no need for you to worry. "
Wang Kunlin thought this was pure nonsense and a sign of distrust in himself. Fortress No. 1 had a population of hundreds of thousands. Would there still be turmoil due to the addition of 20,000 people in Dungeon No. 6? It’s just nonsense!
Li Yang also saw that everyone did not agree with his proposal, and was still worried.
So he could only explain: "All the leading figures in Fortress No. 1, as well as the prince, I can understand your concerns.
However, I think this worry is unreasonable. We in Dungeon No. 6 only chose to join Fortress No. 1 in order to obtain effective protection.
So we are not hostile, let alone aggressive. If everyone is skeptical about this, then I can only choose to give up.
After all, the super dungeons on this planet are not just Fortress No. 1. If you don’t take us in, we can go to other super dungeons. "
Li Yang's words made Wang Kunlin's face change slightly. This result was something he didn't want to see. No matter what, he had to keep Li Yang, otherwise Fortress No. 1 would face disaster in the future!
So after the banquet, Wang Kunlin asked Li Yang to have a private meeting.
"Chief Wang, is there anything else?"
"Li Yang, regarding the question you raised, I think we can have a good talk."
Wang Kunlin's attitude was calm and he looked at Li Yang, who also had a calm expression.
"Oh? Didn't you respond to this question at the party just now?
They said they needed to think about it before they could give me an answer, so I could wait patiently. "
Li Yang smiled slightly, which seemed to be a bit sarcastic.
Wang Kunlin looked a little embarrassed: "Li Yang, you have to know that Fortress No. 1 is a super underground city. Although I am the chief administrative officer, not everything can be decided by me alone.
You have also seen the reactions of the leading figures just now. They reacted very strongly to your request, and almost all of them opposed it.
Therefore, at the banquet, I have to consider many factors and cannot give you a clear answer. I hope you can understand. "
"Chief Wang, there's no need to say more, I understand everything."
Li Yang nodded. He also knew that Wang Kunlin did have difficulties. After all, this was not a trivial matter and needed to be dealt with seriously.
"But I heard what you just said, are you planning to join other super dungeons?"
This is what Wang Kunlin is most concerned about, and he will never allow this to happen.
"Yes, if we cannot be accepted by Fortress No. 1, we will have no choice but to seek refuge in other super dungeons.
No matter how small our underground city No. 6 is, it is difficult to support an isolated tree and face the attack effectively. "
Li Yang didn't hide it. In short, Dungeon No. 6 can no longer be left alone and helpless. This is very dangerous, so it is necessary to find a strong enough backer.
"This..., Li Yang, don't worry, I will definitely be able to satisfy your request. On behalf of the 20,000 people in your No. 6 Dungeon, I will accept all of them on behalf of the No. 1 Fortress!"
Wang Kunlin hesitated for a moment and immediately made the final decision.
"Really? Thank you so much, Chief Wang!"
Li Yang was extremely surprised and very happy when he heard this, so that he could go back and give a perfect explanation to Professor Han.
"Wait a moment Li Yang, I haven't finished speaking yet. I agreed, but I can't announce it yet.
Because you have also seen that the leading figures in Fortress No. 1 are still very suspicious of your request, and some people even have strong opinions on you.
So now you need to do something convincing enough to prove your importance to these people, so that I can publicly agree to your request. "
"But how do I do that? How do I prove it?"
Li Yang frowned, he didn't expect this matter to be so troublesome.
"Let me think about it."
Wang Kunlin stood up and paced back and forth with a slight frown on his face. Suddenly he thought of a question.
"Yes! Recently, the underground water supply of Fortress No. 1 has become less and less, which has affected everyone's lives.
If you can use the magic pen to produce a large amount of fresh water to meet everyone's water needs, I think your request will be accepted by everyone. "
Wang Kunlin finally had a solution. This problem has indeed caused trouble to the residents of Fortress No. 1. Now everyone's water consumption has been strictly limited.
"I'm afraid this won't work. There are so many residents in Fortress No. 1. If we want to meet their water needs, we need to draw at least hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of fresh water.
I'm afraid my magic pen can't complete such a task. It's too difficult. Is there any other way to prove my strength? "
Although this problem can win everyone's support, it is too difficult to solve. Li Yang refused. He did not want to collapse the system because he had to draw so much fresh water.
"Right now, this is the only problem that is thorny and difficult enough. We can easily solve other things."
Wang Kunlin is also a little troubled. Apart from this problem, I am afraid there is nothing that can prove Li Yang's ability and convince everyone.
"Then I'll go back and think about it and give Chief Wang an answer tomorrow."
Li Yang also knew that the opportunity was rare, so he chose to think carefully to see if it was worth the risk.
"Okay, I'll wait for your answer tomorrow."
Li Yang returned to the hotel and thought about it all night, thinking that this problem was unacceptable. After all, Fortress No. 1 did not accept the residents of Dungeon No. 6. They could also seek refuge in other super dungeons. If his system collapsed, it would be terrible. There is no chance of regret.
However, the next day Li Yang was awakened by the sound of banging on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Wang Yuran.
"Ms. Wang, do you have a problem with me so early?"
"Li Yang, something bad has happened! The underground water source of our No. 1 Fortress can no longer extract fresh water. Now a large number of residents are running to the material distribution points to fight for fresh water. The entire No. 1 Fortress is close to collapse!"
Wang Yuran said in a panic. Li Yang was also shocked when he heard this. Wang Kunlin just mentioned this problem to him last night. He didn't expect that the problem would worsen to such a serious level today.
"So now the entire No. 1 Fortress has reached a point where there is no water available?"
"That's it! That's why my dad asked me to come to you quickly to discuss countermeasures!"
Wang Yuran said very anxiously that this was the reason why she came to Li Yang in person.
"Okay then, I'll go with you to see Chief Wang!"
Li Yang is also well aware of the seriousness of the problem. If people have no water to drink, they will inevitably fight for fresh water by any means to survive, and then Fortress No. 1 will immediately enter a state of turmoil.
Just imagine if turmoil occurs in a super underground city with a population of hundreds of thousands, the consequences will be unimaginably serious!
"Li Yang, you're finally here! I'm almost dying of anxiety!"
Wang Kunlin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Yang appear.
"Chief Wang, I have heard about the depletion of underground water sources. What are your plans now?"
"Alas! I have no clue now, but I have ordered all the war-ready fresh water in the warehouse to be distributed. It should be able to meet the water consumption of all the residents of Fortress No. 1 for three days.
Therefore, we must find a new underground water source that can be used continuously within three days. If we cannot find it, Fortress No. 1 will inevitably fall into turmoil, and other underground cities will take advantage of it. By then, Fortress No. 1 will Suffered a devastating disaster! "
Wang Kunlin frowned. He couldn't imagine how serious things would be in the future.
"Then professionals should be sent immediately to find new underground water sources."
Li Yang reminded Wang Kunlin that this was a top priority.
"Alas, it's useless. Fortress No. 1 has only one underground water source, and after years of crazy extraction, nearly a thousand miles of groundwater around it has been forcibly extracted and consumed.
If you want to find a new underground water source, you have to leave the control area of Fortress No. 1, which is unrealistic. "
Wang Kunlin's face was ugly, and he looked really sad. This matter was almost unsolvable, so he called Li Yang.
