Chapter 581 - 425: A Situation that has Changed Upside Down!

"So that’s how it is."

Lin Yue didn’t send that message directly to Fei Yue.

He had a few other things he wanted to ask the three generals who had gone from Xing Lingfeng’s side to the Feiyue Refugee Village.

He added You Siyuan, Feng Peng, and Huo Yu as friends, and he also pulled them into a small group chat.

The features of the system are quite good, and it seems that it’s constantly being perfected.

Remembering the diary in the Doomsday Bunker that talked about some kind of "pager" communication method, this is now far more convenient.

Speaking of which, did the system last time also create that communication chat system based on the people’s communication and contact methods at the time?

This time chatting with the three of them together, he aimed to learn more about Xing Lingfeng.

This person survived the last survival event and is also someone with many secrets.

After Old Sun died, perhaps only this person could uncover the truth behind the last survival of a hundred million people.

His understanding of Xing Lingfeng was still quite shallow. Apart from a few trades and limited conversations, his impressions and opinions were relatively subjective.

Moreover, he still didn’t know whether what was said about provoking the conflict between him and Lily Kalahao was true or false.

Lily Kalahao was constantly annexing other refugee villages and even used some clever strategies, which greatly affected both Xing Lingfeng and Fei Yue.

And it’s not uncommon for people to say this on the world channel.

Whether this person is a threat, Lin Yue doesn’t know, but what is certain is that something will definitely happen between this person and him in the future.

And quite possibly, it would be a war.

He is the number one on the world leaderboard, and Lily Kalahao definitely does not want him to always hold this position.

You Siyuan: "Boss, as for why we left that Xing Lingfeng guy... actually, it’s very simple. Xing Lingfeng is just not trustworthy."

Feng Peng: "You Siyuan is right, Xing Lingfeng is someone who cannot be trusted."

Huo Yu: "The three of us respected him enough and made him the leader of the Refugee Village instead of replacing him, not because he had survival skills or resource reserves, but because Xing Lingfeng’s decision making required major events to be discussed and agreed upon by everyone before they could be implemented."

Lin Yue thought about it, and this indeed seemed like a suitable model.

After all, people didn’t come from the primitive ages; it’s not about who is the strongest becomes the leader, but rather this person has enough leadership and tolerance, along with special methods to control the Survivors who were originally modern individuals.

You Siyuan: "Yeah, that old guy Xing Lingfeng said it well, all about giving your full support in the future to make the Savior of humanity develop more smoothly, and everyone working together to find or discover resources, doing the utmost to support you. But later, we found out that this wasn’t the case at all."

Feng Peng: "That’s right, after you saved us in the Underground Ruins, we were indeed more committed to this idea. Because of this, we tried our best in exploring the Secret Realm and collecting various resources, thinking that maybe these are what you wanted and urgently needed for development. But during trades, Xing Lingfeng repeatedly suppressed various materials unless you offered more suitable bids."

Huo Yu: "I know you don’t like flattery, but Xing Lingfeng did say humanity needs a Savior, and you are that Savior. We also believe this, and your achievements during these two disasters have indeed earned the recognition of us and the majority of humanity. Whether it was the lightning storm last time or the triple disaster this time, without you, we wouldn’t have survived, and humanity wouldn’t even have half its current population."

Lin Yue restarted the tactical ATV and drove forward a bit more.

It seems indeed so.

Xing Lingfeng always offered the smallest amount and wasn’t very generous, sometimes even pulling a disappearing act.

If he truly wanted to "fully support humanity’s Savior," this kind of behavior would not make sense.

Huo Yu: "Lin Yue, you might not know, but Xing Lingfeng has accumulated a considerable amount of alloys and various parts. We’ve collected many of the parts you initially asked for, but it wasn’t until you requested them in the trading mall that we realized it wasn’t our lack of supply, but rather Xing Lingfeng didn’t want to trade them all to you."

"Are you saying that Xing Lingfeng doesn’t genuinely want to fully support me as he claimed, but uses his trading relationship with me to stabilize you all and seek greater benefits for himself?"

Lin Yue replied, feeling a bit surprised.

Xing Lingfeng is indeed a seasoned player.

He even used his relationship with him to maximize his own interests.

To know, Lin Yue did give Xing Lingfeng quite a lot of benefits, right?

Important collaboration partner and a spokesman role, enough for Xing Lingfeng to gain greater prestige and more value in trades.

Moreover, later he even told Xing Lingfeng about the matter of Lizardman’s Sweat Blood.

But that guy, truly not honest!

Xing Lingfeng was purely trading with him, and even though the items were what he wanted, important things like nitrocellulose were always given in very small amounts.
