"Thank you to deepcccp for the 1000, and thanks to Infinity, Legend, Cold Autumn, Little Lu, Mu Yi, Truly Silent, Calm, and many other book friends! Thank you all!"
Ye Zhongming could roughly guess the previous identities of these people. Of course, among them, there must be a considerable proportion of apocalypse survivors.
In this life, since he had been busy all the time, Ye Zhongming actually had not interacted much with the outside world. He had only seen organized collective actions in the city he left, but thinking back now, that should have been a spontaneous action by the locals.
As for the resistance zone, it was likely developing its strength at the beginning of the apocalypse.
Ye Zhongming had long since passed the stage of judging things purely by right and wrong. He understood that there must be some reasons that led the civilians to be in a 'free-range' state. Perhaps, in the future, he would find out the answers.
At the same time, Ye Zhongming also knew that the so-called joint meeting of the resistance zones was predicated on cooperation and was held irregularly. A year into the apocalypse, this was already the third joint meeting.
Just thinking about it a little bit, Ye Zhongming realized that the information asymmetry caused by poor communication and the rapid changes in strength during the apocalypse was the root of the need for these joint meetings.
In the past, Ye Zhongming did not feel much about this aspect because he had only one Cloud Summit Villa Base. In the future, when the Cloud Port Branch was established, this situation would also occur to him.
The four major resistance zones in the country shared the same roots, and they would definitely engage in deep cooperation. In order for the cooperation to go smoothly, they needed to grasp the dynamics of their companions promptly, exchange information, and continuously revise cooperation processes and plans. In this context, the joint meeting became very necessary.
Meeting face to face and sitting down to talk could potentially lead to a major collaborative plan emerging. In places where ordinary people could not reach, real human elites might have already completed a magnificent campaign, gaining countless benefits.
Of course, the meeting would not be that simple; it would undoubtedly involve many aspects. Moreover, powers like Cloud Summit Villa would also have some involvement, qualifying for recognition by the resistance zones. Thus, during the breaks of the meeting, there should also be plenty of activities to participate in; at the very least, trading and auctions would definitely happen.
The benefits were naturally plentiful, not only allowing Ye Zhongming to truly connect with the elite level of the apocalypse but also enabling him to exchange resources, enriching himself and Cloud Summit Villa.
Naturally, dangers also existed. Ye Zhongming was not too familiar with the resistance zones, and this journey was risky. Although the T1 resistance zone had actively invited him, acknowledging the strength of Cloud Summit Villa, from another perspective, they understood Cloud Summit Villa and Ye Zhongming the best. What were their true intentions? Were they as friendly as Song Tianze's attitude suggested? This was hard to say.
Song Tianze's figure had disappeared from view, and Ye Zhongming had yet to decide whether to attend this joint meeting.
Cooperation, information, danger, traps, interests, answers...
Complicated thoughts surged in Ye Zhongming's mind. He was weighing the gains and losses, assessing the risks, and gradually leaning towards attending this meeting.
Perhaps he could put other matters aside, but the prospect of acquiring more information about the apocalypse from there deeply attracted Ye Zhongming.
The people from these resistance zones were those who had foreseen the apocalypse. They must hold many secrets, which Ye Zhongming wanted to know.
With a leaning decision in his heart, Ye Zhongming no longer hesitated. After all, there was still some time before the meeting began, and he could take this opportunity to prepare well.
