Before this, Wang Shengzhi had not approached the Zhou Clan or the Kong Clan about this. This meant he was not particularly worried about the Kong Clan or the Zhou Clan.
And now he had come to the Northwest not because he was worried that Fortress 178 would stop him from advancing, but because he needed the people of the Northwest to join him in suppressing the Kyung Clan in the Southwest.
At the end of the day, Zhang Jinglin believed the reason Wang Shengzhi had to make a personal trip to the Northwest at this time was because he was afraid of Qing Zhen.
Of course, Zhang Jinglin also understood this. He was already very familiar with that young man named Qing Zhen. It would be very difficult for anyone to look down on any of the consortiums in this world.
Those who dared to look down on Qing Zhen were either dead, or it was not time for them to die yet.
Right now, Wang Shengzhi was probably trying to ally with Fortress 178 for the sake of the Kyung Clan.
Therefore, if Zhang Jinglin accepted Wang Shengzhi's conditions, he would definitely have to stand against the Kyung Clan with the Wang Clan in the future.
Zhang Jinglin was not afraid of Qing Zhen, and Fortress 178 was not afraid of the Kyung Clan either, but there was no need for that.
The main point was that there was no need for that. Now that life in the Northwest was getting better, why would he want to expand his ambitions and drag the entire Fortress 178 into the flames of war?
Now was the best time for the Northwest to recuperate.
"What you said doesn't move me." Zhang Jinglin said, "Whether the Wang Clan will make a difference when Fortress 178 faces foreign enemies in the future is just an empty promise. I'm not interested in war either."
Zhang Jinglin had said before that war could not save humanity.
Wang Shengzhi looked at Zhang Jinglin and said with a smile, "Then what if you take control of the entire Barrier Alliance? At that time, the entire Barrier Alliance will be in your hands. Do you still have to be afraid that what I said will be an empty promise? "
This time, it was Zhang Jinglin who was stunned.
To be honest, the conversation between the two of them was within Zhang Jinglin's expectations from beginning to end. When Wang Shengzhi came to visit, he already knew why Wang Shengzhi had come to the Northwest.
But when the topic reached this point, it suddenly exceeded Zhang Jinglin's expectations.
He frowned and asked, "What does that mean?"
"It means that the Alliance of Strongholds will no longer be controlled by the consortiums in the future." Wang Shengzhi said calmly, "The consortiums will completely become a thing of the past, and the successors of the Alliance of Strongholds will no longer be hereditary. And the first one was you, Mr Zhang. "
Zhang Jinglin looked at Wang Shengzhi seriously. "You've planned for so long and put in so much effort just to benefit others? Nothing at all? "
Wang Shengzhi said, "I only have one request, and that is that the order of the Barrier Alliance must be managed by the artificial intelligence. Of course, it's only to maintain order."
"I don't understand." Zhang Jinglin said honestly, "I really don't know what you're thinking this time. Actually, you could've spent more time planning. Maybe you wouldn't even need the help of the Northwest to achieve what you want to do. You wouldn't need to do something like that to carry out a transaction."
"No, this isn't a transaction." Wang Shengzhi shook his head. "I don't have much time left."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Jinglin took a closer look at Wang Shengzhi. Only then did he realize he did not look too well.
Wang Shengzhi pointed to his chest and said, "Lung cancer."
"So you joined forces with the Anjing House to bring those people into the Sacred Mountains this time because you want to find the No. 001 Experimental and find a way to treat cancer from him?" Zhang Jinglin asked.
By now, most people knew the No. 001 Experimental seemed to have been born during the Pyro Company's cancer treatment period. The other Experimentals were also cancer patients.
"Haha." Wang Shengzhi laughed and pointed to his legs. "I don't have such plans. With the way I am, wouldn't death be a form of relief as well? Why should I pursue a life that doesn't belong to me? Mr. Zhang, why do you think life has weight? Actually, it's because it's' limited. 'If life is infinite, then its existence would lose its meaning. "
For some reason, Zhang Jinglin and Wang Shengzhi suddenly reached an agreement on this topic after arguing for so long.
Zhang Jinglin sighed and said, "I'm sorry."
He meant that if he knew Wang Shengzhi did not have much time left, he might have been more polite when he spoke to him just now.
Wang Shengzhi spread his hands. "I don't think it's anything to be regretful about. It's just that I want to finish what I need to do before I die. I don't covet any fame or fortune in this world anymore. In my heart, you've always been the most clear-headed person in this world. So I hope that when I'm done with that business, you can take it over from me. "
But Zhang Jinglin did not say anything. When Wang Shengzhi saw Zhang Jinglin not saying anything, he tried to persuade him again, "I'll get rid of all the consortiums before I die and give you a clean alliance."
When Wang Shengzhi mentioned getting rid of all the alliances, his tone was especially firm and determined. This also included the Wang Clan itself.
At some point, Zhang Jinglin could sense the other party's determination and Wang Shengzhi's dissatisfaction with the consortiums.
He did not know how to evaluate Wang Shengzhi. That was because he had always thought Wang Shengzhi had worked so hard for so many years because of his own ambitions.
It was not only Zhang Jinglin who thought so. Qing Zhen was the same.
Now that Wang Shengzhi knew he was going to die, he was still thinking about how to unify the Barrier Alliance and get rid of all the consortiums.
Wang Shengzhi looked at Zhang Jinglin and said earnestly, "I know Mr. Zhang is still a little prejudiced against the artificial intelligence. I just hope you can learn more about it and see how orderly Stronghold 61 is."
But in the end, Zhang Jinglin sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"Why?"
"I don't have the ambition to take control of the entire Barrier Alliance." Zhang Jinglin said, "If someone can take over Fortress 178 from me, I can retire right now."
Wang Shengzhi smiled bitterly. "You still have time to groom that person, but I don't. I'd like to know if you have someone in mind right now. Let me guess, is it Ren Xiaosu? "
Zhang Jinglin glanced at Wang Shengzhi. "How did you know?"
Wang Shengzhi said, "You don't have to look at me like that. Isn't it normal to plant spies among each other? It's just that I did it earlier than everyone else. That's why you can't find mine even though you've gotten rid of everyone else's spies. I'm very curious. What's so special about him? "
Zhang Jinglin replied, "You might find out in the future."
"There won't be a future." Wang Shengzhi pushed the wheels of his wheelchair and walked out. "Thank you for your hospitality. Although none of my wishes came true, I finally got to meet an old friend. Mr. Zhang, do you still remember how we first met?"
"I remember," Zhang Jinglin said.
"Thank you." Wang Shengzhi said those two baffling words before getting into the vehicles. The convoy of off-road vehicles sped all the way to the Central Plains.
It was late winter, and the last snowfall was falling from the sky.
