Chapter 367: The Federation Councilors Are All Trash!

"Hey, hey, Miss Yun, do you see this? There are two survivors here."

After placing the director's hat on Director Marion, Airui Laya spoke into the communication device at her ear.

"I am having the Executors head over."

Yun Mu's somewhat uncertain and startled voice came through the communication device: "What was that just now, and also that..."

Airui Laya knew what she was referring to; after all, with something that large, anyone who wasn't blind would see it.

"It must be the work of those Beast God Cult guys." She looked into the distance at the skeleton standing tall on the city streets and said.

"Remember? The Beast God Cult possesses a very large God Bone. If I'm not mistaken, that should be the spine of the dead Beastkin God."

"If nothing goes wrong, that thing is definitely their doing."

"Those guys..." Yun Mu pursed her lips. She looked at the sand table in the Command Center, and saw that of the originally dense light points, only a few were still flickering now.

Clearly, many people had lost their lives to those spreading skeletons.

However, it wasn't without good news; that is, besides the skeletons, a large number of Old Legion mechanical bodies had also been destroyed.

And for some reason, those Old Legion mechanical bodies that were originally besieging the big companies and the Council Building all shifted their attack targets after that spine appeared.

Could it be that the Old Legion was truly created by the former Federation to kill gods? Yun Mu thought of the many hypotheses she had heard before.

"What should we do now?" After thinking for a moment, she asked Airui Laya.

"Continue saving people, and then you can dispatch some Executors to the Council Building to make contact with the councilors... The Old Legion mechanical bodies over there have all gone to attack that spine."

After a pause, Airui Laya continued: "I'm going to go over there to take a look; I'll notify you if there's any news."

"Alright." Yun Mu thought for a long while and felt that Airui Laya's arrangement had no issues, so she agreed.

At this moment, she was building a Tank Factory and a Radar underground; once the former was finished, she would be able to unlock various mechanical units.

And although the latter's detection capability was not as powerful as the Command Center's, it had the advantage of a longer range.

Moreover, her main purpose in building the Radar was to unlock more buildable options.

Once the Combat Laboratory was finished, she would have a certain ability to interfere in this war.

But before that, there was still a problem that needed to be solved.

"Resource Points are not enough..."

The Resource Points stored by Airui Laya had been mostly squandered by her; if she wanted to continue developing, she had to replenish the Resource Points.

The Flash Silver Tank recovered earlier provided her with 500 Resource Points and 250 Research Points, which was not bad.

Yun Mu intended to continue recovering the wrecks of those Old Legion mechanical bodies; besides that, some abandoned metal in the city would also work.

Leaving this matter to the Mining Vehicle would suffice; that thing would detect on its own where there were items that could be recycled into Resource Points.

Once a vehicle was full, which was about two thousand Resource Points or so, the Mining Vehicle would return to the Ore Refinery on its own to drop off the ore.

However, she only had one Mining Vehicle right now, so the efficiency was a bit low.

She needed to wait until the Tank Factory was built before she could increase the number of Mining Vehicles.

Before that, she could only save on the consumption of Resource Points.

Let's look at the movements of the Executors.

Yun Mu zoomed in on the sand table and observed the Executors responsible for saving people for a while. After confirming there were no issues, she shifted her attention to the other team of Executors.

The destination of this team of Executors was the Council Building; she wanted to disguise them as people from the Joy Company to make contact with the Federation councilors and see what these guys were actually up to.

If things went smoothly, she would cooperate with the councilors to jointly resolve this crisis.

Judging by the current speed, it would take about an hour or more of travel time; she would just wait patiently during this period.

"Hmm?"

"There are people from Huanle Intertainment outside?"

Two hours after discovering Marion had fled the Council Building, the Crocodile Scale Species councilor heard such news from the Guard beside him.

"Are there many of them?" After thinking, the Crocodile Scale Species councilor asked.

"Report, only twenty of them have come."

"Twenty..." The expression on the Crocodile Scale Species councilor's face didn't change. He thought for a moment: "Stay alert, let them wait outside the Council Building, I will go and make contact with them personally."

"That wouldn't be good..." The young Guard hesitated. The Crocodile Scale Species councilor thought he was going to talk about making the other party wait outside, but unexpectedly heard the other say: "If the other party harbors malice, your safety..."

"Heh heh... It's fine." Hearing the young Guard's words, the Crocodile Scale Species councilor smiled with gratification; it seemed not everyone in the Federation was a scoundrel.

Originally having a massive headache from a pile of messy affairs, his mood became much more relaxed at this moment.

After dealing with some more urgent matters at hand, he stood up and walked toward the door.

"Let's go, let's go meet the people from the Joy Company!"

Just after going downstairs, the Crocodile Scale Species councilor noticed the Executors who were out of place with the surroundings.

Wearing pitch-black metal exoskeletons with the Joy Company logo painted on them in a Scarlet pigment that looked like fresh blood, they stood in neat formation in front of the Council Building, saying nothing, looking just like battle-hardened Warriors.

The Crocodile Scale Species councilor subconsciously frowned; he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt these guys didn't look much like living people.

Suppressing the sense of strangeness in his heart, the Crocodile Scale Species councilor arrived in front of the Executors.

The Executor standing at the very front, upon seeing him, didn't even wait to speak before taking the communication device from his waist and handing it to the other party.

There wouldn't be a bomb in this, would there... The Crocodile Scale Species councilor took the communication device, and soon, a Young Girl's voice came from inside.

"Hello, can you hear me clearly?"

The boss of Huanle Intertainment Limited Liability Company was a Young Girl; the Crocodile Scale Species councilor knew this, so he wasn't too surprised when he heard Yun Mu's voice.

Thinking of this, he coughed lightly: "Ahem, I can hear you, very clearly."

"If you can hear me, then I won't say any superfluous nonsense. You should be able to see the logo on those soldiers. We are from Huanle Intertainment Limited Liability Company. We hope to cooperate with the Federation councilors to drive out all those Old Legion mechanical bodies and the things those Beast God Cult guys have stirred up."

"Are you the person in charge over there? If possible, I would like to speak with someone who can manage things."

Yun Mu said the draft she had prepared in her heart in one breath.

"... I like your directness." After being slightly stunned, the Crocodile Scale Species councilor quickly reacted.

He smiled silently; at a time like this, such meaningless nonsense could indeed be skipped.

He was very pleased that the boss of the Joy Company was such a person. As for the cooperation, if the other party's words were true, the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor was very willing to agree to it.

After all, they had originally intended to let people from other companies participate, and now that a company had taken the initiative to approach them, it was simply perfect.

The opinions of other councilors? That was all bullshit; now he was the only councilor! Recalling the performance of the other councilors during the Beast God Cult's raid, the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor felt his anger flare up.

They were all a bunch of trash; counting on them was completely useless.

Earlier, he had fought side-by-side with the Guards and the people from the City Defense Department; in terms of authority, he definitely held the advantage.

If those councilors were sensible, he could pretend not to see them, but if anyone dared to get in his way—a cold glint flashed in the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor's eyes.

If a councilor died, they could just be replaced; now was not the time to let that bunch act recklessly.

Thinking of this, the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor revealed his identity directly to Yun Mu and simultaneously agreed to the cooperation.

"Huh?"

The other party was actually the First Councilor? Listening to the voice coming from the Communication Device, Yun Mu was somewhat surprised.

She looked at the screen in front of the combat command room, which was displaying the view seen by the Executor.

From their attire, demeanor, and presence, she felt that the other party was not lying.

That went quite smoothly.

And they weren't as difficult to talk to as Airui Laya had said; on the contrary, Yun Mu felt that the other party was very much to her liking.

They felt like a good partner for cooperation.

The two discussed the cooperation matters briefly, and Yun Mu took this opportunity to request some supplies from the Federation—mostly metal ores, with a small portion being food.

Besides this, she also indicated that if possible, she hoped the wreckage of the defeated Old Days mechanical bodies could be recovered by the people from the Joy Company.

To this, the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor agreed readily.

The things Yun Mu requested were only basic supplies; they had plenty of such things, and as for the Old Days mechanical bodies, the Federation had already collected enough over the years.

They were not short on such things at all, so since the Joy Company wanted them, he would do her a favor and give them to her.

The two successfully discussed the cooperation matters and then decided to carry out their first joint operation tomorrow morning.

That was to rescue the Survivors in the city and simultaneously contact people from other companies to let them join the cooperation as well.

This operation was mainly for the purpose of breaking in and seeing the strength and tacit understanding of both sides; rescuing the Survivors was a secondary matter, and the most important thing was to unite the people from other companies.

Besides this, the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor actually had the idea of training his troops.

The performance of those Guards and the City Defense Department was just too shitty; apart from the Elites who dealt with the Beast God Cult and local gangs every day, the rest were just bottom-feeders.

"Speaking of which," Yun Mu suddenly thought of something and asked the other party: "Where did the Federation's army go?"

"Why haven't I seen them take action for so long?"

"..." Hearing Yun Mu's words, the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor's face turned dark at once.

After thinking about it, since this kind of thing couldn't be hidden anyway and anyone with a mind would notice, the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor decided to tell the truth: "The moment the Energy Shield shattered, we contacted the military base."

"But we didn't receive any response... Those Old Days mechanical bodies were actually able to sneak to the edge of the city without a sound, I think..."

She did not continue with the rest of her words, but Yun Mu had already understood his meaning.

Things looked grim.

She hadn't expected the military base in Feiluoka to have been wiped out; no wonder she hadn't seen any aircraft, tanks, or missile support from the Federation for so long.

"Where are the coordinates of the military base?" After thinking for a moment, Yun Mu asked the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor.

"At a location about fifteen kilometers north-northwest of Feiluoka, there is a canyon..." The Crocodile Scale Species Councilor did not know what Yun Mu wanted this information for, but considering the current situation, he stated the location without any hesitation.

"Fifteen kilometers, huh..." This was already beyond the range that the Command Center could scan, though not by much.

She could have the Command Center move five kilometers in that direction, and perhaps she would be able to scan the situation at the military base.

However, as things stood, she couldn't do that and would have to wait until later.

"Since that's the case, let's stop here for today."

Yun Mu looked at the construction progress of the Tank Factory and the sky outside, which had already darkened.

"Mm, see you later." The Crocodile Scale Species Councilor put down the Communication Device, his mood having improved somewhat.

"Phew, finally some good news." Letting out a soft breath, he looked at the Executor standing there, Immovable.

Yun Mu had told him to just hand the supplies over to these Executors; after thinking about it, the Crocodile Scale Species Councilor had his men secretly place a few Locators among the supplies.

Although everything seemed fine, one had to be prepared for any eventuality.

It was better for him to make an extra preparation.

And after handing the supplies to the Executors, it wasn't long before the Transport Vehicle sent by Yun Mu arrived at the scene and hauled them away.

As for the Locators inside, the Executors had discovered them long ago, but Yun Mu did not take them out.

Instead, she pretended not to have discovered them and brought them back to the underground of the Joy Company together.

Trust was the foundation of cooperation; her coordinates were right under the Joy Company building, and once the other party saw that, they would likely not doubt her identity.

After all, people are often more willing to believe what they deduce or what they have seen secretly.

As for how to deal with these Locators after bringing them back... she would just pretend there was a signal-shielding device in the base and destroy them along with it.

"A bountiful harvest."

Watching the Resource Points rise continuously after dumping the supplies sent by the Federation into the Ore Refinery, the corners of Yun Mu's mouth curled upward involuntarily.

It was only a short while ago that she was still worried about not having enough Resource Points.

To think that just by communicating with a Federation Councilor, and before the cooperation had even begun, she had swindled such a pile of supplies! The Federal Councilor really is a good person! Yun Mu thought to herself.

Just as Yun Mu was feeling happy about the rising Resource Points, on the other side, Airui Laya was quietly sneaking toward the giant spine that had suddenly grown out from the underground of the city.

"So it really was the work of those guys from the Beast God Cult."

Watching the members of the Beast God Cult who were fighting against the Legion, a flash of realization crossed Airui Laya's eyes.

"What truly terrifying power..."

Watching the scene of a Beast God Cult believer, whose body had swollen to resemble a giant under the reinforcement of an unknown power, tearing apart a Flash Silver Tank with their bare hands, Yun Mu could not help but sigh in her heart.
