Chapter 1474 - 748: Vermin and Vermin
In the silence, no one spoke in the conference channel.
To be precise, everyone was finally wearing a long face.
Solution? What other solution is there?
It's nothing but killing.
Everyone has gone mad like you, killing and killing, can't we live our days in peace!
After all, you're a mad dog. Just as you entered, you started baring your teeth at everyone... don't you forget, the Seven Cities belong to everyone, it's not your place to dictate!
"It seems the difference between Mr. Ji and everyone is a bit larger than expected," Galisto sighed lightly, "Regarding solutions, I think we should consider them carefully, and not hurt everyone's harmony over such trivial matters."
"Where's the harmony? I don't see it." If you don't want to listen or learn, then why come to me? To crack jokes?
Ji Jue waved coldly, unwilling to waste any more time, "Alright then, a big joke, I've heard it, everyone go home and reflect on yourselves. I sincerely hope that after the disaster passes, I can still see everyone being so spirited."
His avatar was the first to dim, then Minkler smiled slightly and disconnected the call.
After a brief silence in the conference channel, one by one, people left, leaving only Fernan staring quietly at the dark screen in front of him, looking exhausted, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he closed his eyes and waved his hand.
He turned off the screen.
The meeting ended here, but even with just a guess, it's obvious that another meeting had probably already started in secret and with intensity.
And who else could the meeting be about but Ji Jue? Involving the Mechanical Descent, no one would be foolish enough to discuss key issues over electronic devices now.
Not being on guard would be strange.
Since Ji Jue is unwilling to integrate into the local environment, then don't blame everyone for unanimously being exclusionary.
Just occupying Xiang State and Luo Island has already made him so rampant, with ambitions obvious. With such a monster lurking by your bedside, who can sleep in peace?
"I fear these guys are going to cause more trouble from now on," Minkler said over the phone.
"No worries, with the disaster upon us, they can't make any moves," Ji Jue sneered, "I can do without Luo Island, can they do without the Seven Cities?"
At this critical moment, Ji Jue rejected their invitation to join forces, and after directly turning hostile, they have no way to deal with Ji Jue.
It's nothing but some backhanded tactics and isolation.
Being notorious has this advantage, anyone wanting to make a move has to weigh the consequences first.
If Ji Jue doesn't die, no one will have a good end, if Ji Jue dies, they won't fare well either.
Currently, Luo Island doesn't count as a fundamental interest for Ji Jue, even if Luo Island is gone, he could just take everyone to Hai Province, there is plenty of space in the wilderness!
At worst, just build New Quan City then!
Rather than playing games with this bunch of pests, it's better to focus on more urgent matters now.
The tsunami and the storm.
The chain reaction caused by the earthquake has already stirred up a frenzy on the Endless Sea, just a few hours ago, giant waves were observed appearing on the sea, heading towards Seven Cities.
However, without the transmission of Earth Veins, they might not maintain their intensity upon reaching the Seven Cities. But the following storm and abnormal weather are the real troubles.
In satellite images, new clouds have already formed, with large swathes of cloud gradually covering the western sea area of the Endless Sea.
Amidst the rumble of thunder, the pitch-black clouds advanced inch by inch like an iron curtain, covering the sky, and downpour of rain fell at dawn.
In the pitch-black space between sea and sky, the sheets of rain immediately shrouded the lights of Luo City.
In the silence, only the sound of rain was heard, the sound of tide roaring, even on the island, there was an ever-present fear of a solitary boat swaying, ready to capsize at any moment.
Fortunately, the post-disaster handling of the earthquake was stable and swift enough, apart from drainage facilities failing to repair quickly causing some areas to have standing water, nothing major occurred.
However, what the Seven Cities would turn into was beyond Ji Jue's control.
Since turning against each other last time, Luo Island has almost severed ties with the Seven Cities Council, no one mentions watching out for each other anymore.
It was like cold violence of bullying in a class, collective ignoring and isolating, not playing with you anymore!
Yet whether this was a bad thing or a good thing was still hard to say.
After several days of continuous rain, vegetation on Luo Island grew wildly, even mosquitoes in the ditches grew several times larger...
The mutations brought by the disaster were intensifying.
Under dim daylight, the drizzling rain continued incessantly, with no end in sight, at the same time, the stench from piles of dead fish was also increasing, even the gray seawater churned with foam.
In today's Seven Cities, no one planned to go out to sea anymore.
Dead fish, dead fish everywhere, a patch of dead fish grew on the sea surface like mold, drifting with the waves, piling up around the islands.
Even falling from the sky...
BOOM!!!
In the muffled thunder, from the overcast sky, once again came the cold, rancid rain, but this time, the dull collision sounds were incessant.
Screams echoed, one after another.
A massive number of dead fish descended with the rain, dense black dots appeared continuously from the sky, growing larger, larger, smashing onto the ground and beaches, shattered flesh and innards flying.
