"Why? Why hand it over? What's the benefit to me?" Hillary's reaction was fierce when she heard Tang Ji agreed to hand over the nuclear bomb.

"Give it to them, and the two sides can build a stronger relationship. If you don't give it, it will only worsen the relationship. What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of survivors outside waiting for rescue. Their conditions are not excessive. Putting a nuclear bomb in their hands will cost them

It is much safer than leaving it in our hands. There are many extremists in the last days. I believe that after today, the news that there is a nuclear bomb here will spread, which will also be troublesome." Tang Ji looked at Hillary and explained.

"I have thought about all this. If they refuse the rescue issue, we can still find a way. Besides, as you just said, they should not really refuse rescue because of the nuclear bomb issue. Safety is more important. As for other things, I don't care.

Not that much, no one can open the nuclear arsenal without my key." Hillary looked at Tang Jidao, seeming to have made up her mind.

"Why bother? If you want to continue to have nuclear bombs, you just want to control New Jersey's dominance in the future. For the right to speak, if you hand over the nuclear bombs, we can completely conceal An's existence from the people and only talk about nuclear bombs."

"It was you who exchanged twenty nuclear bombs for military support, thereby saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of survivors. Promote it as much as possible, and they will be grateful to you and remember the name Hillary in this gathering of survivors.

In the ground, the number of survivors is close to half of the total number of survivors in New Jersey now. As long as you have the support of these people, New Jersey is yours." Tanguy tried to persuade Hillary.

The total area of ​​New Jersey ranks 46th among the fifty states in the United States. The population density was very high before the end of the world, with the total population reaching more than 7 million. After the end of the world, the population has continued to decrease. The current total population of New Jersey is estimated

It is already less than 300,000. At this time, the Dawn Fire, armed forces and ordinary survivors have a population of more than 130,000. As long as Hillary can get these people to support her, she will have no problem ruling New Jersey, even the military

I will support Hillary because of this, but the premise is not to antagonize the military.

The military is a behemoth, and its military scientific research capabilities are unparalleled in the United States. They are also the backbone of America's recovery in the post-apocalyptic world. There are only benefits and no downsides to being friendly with them.

Hillary was silent, her eyes shifted from Tang Ji's face to the water glass in her hand, and she gradually became lost in thought while looking at the water ripples in the glass.

"You'd better think clearly. There are some forces that you and I can't compete with. The nuclear bomb is in our hands and we have no way to launch it. Its role is only to threaten the military and other forces... extremists, terrorists, etc.

Wait, many people and many forces will want nuclear bombs. What they seek is destruction and a new order after destruction. Think about it carefully." Tang Ji said, then he said no more and glanced aside.

, with a serious expression.

There was silence in the room, with shallow breathing and nothing else.

Hillary thought for a long time, then gradually came to her senses, raised her hand to drink up the water in the paper cup, then placed the paper cup on the coffee table in front of her, raised her hand to press the earphone and called: "Xiu, come to my office."

"Okay, boss." Xiu's response came from the earphones.

In just one minute, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Hillary said loudly.

Xiulant, who was wearing a field uniform, pushed open the door and walked to the sofa coffee table while taking off the leather gloves on his hands.

"boss!"

"sit!"

Hilary waved her hand to Xiulant and motioned for him to sit on the sofa opposite her. After leading Xiulant to sit down, Hillary turned to look at Tang Ji, then looked at Xiulant, and said softly: "I

Guess you've heard the story, about the nuclear bomb."

Xiulant nodded and said nothing.

"What do you think?" Hillary asked.

"I..." Xiulant said in a long voice and thought for a while: "This matter has pros and cons. What else do I think... boss?"

"What I mean is to leave the nuclear bomb. If the military refuses to rescue, we will find other ways to get rid of the zombies," Hillary said.

"I respect the boss's wishes," Xiulant said.

"Very good, but... our dear Mr. Tang Ji, he wants to hand over the nuclear bomb." Hillary said and turned to look at Tang Ji, looked into Tang Ji's eyes, paused and said: "Two ratios

one."

"Please..." Tang Ji smiled: "Xiu is yours, of course I will listen to you. I will stick to my position and hand over the nuclear weapons."

There seems to be a slight problem. Tang Ji was trying to persuade Hillary just now, but now it seems the reverse is true. Hillary is trying to persuade Tang Ji, and even brought in Xiulant, the most powerful person under Hillary. In fact,

Hillary knows very well that if Tanguy continues to oppose, it will be difficult for her. Although he does not have any real power, his influence in Dawn Fire is very large.

"Damn..." Hillary turned back, cursed softly, and raised her hand to cover her forehead.

"Ahem! Boss..." Xiulant coughed lightly and shouted.

"Huh?" Hillary looked up at Xiulant and made a questioning nasal sound.

"Actually..." Xiulant's face looked a little unnatural, and he paused and said, "I can remain neutral on this matter."

"Asshole!" Hillary picked up the empty paper and threw it towards Xiulant. Xiulant raised his hand to catch it, slowly put the paper cup on the table, and smiled awkwardly at Hillary: "I'm sorry.

…”

"Hahaha..." Tang Ji's laughter came from the side.

Hillary just said that 2 to 1, Xiulant supported her, but she did not expect to "rebellion" so quickly.

In fact, Xiulant was just expressing his attitude. He wanted to explain that he was not supporting Hillary because he said she would leave the nuclear bomb. He really respected Hillary's decision. Considering his own influence, he had to express his support for Hillary.

Hillary's attitude is that it would be better for him not to get involved in this matter.

Hillary raised her hand to cover her forehead again, stared at the coffee table, and was silent.

Tang Ji smiled and raised his hand and quietly gave Xiulant a thumbs up. What Xiulant just said is very crucial. It will greatly affect Hillary's final decision. If Xiulant is not considered, there is no need to consider it.

Hillary only needs to think about the wishes of other Dawnfire executives. No matter what the outcome, at least there will be no problems within Dawnfire because Xiulant will support her.

"It's getting late. I'll go back first. I'll come to you after lunch. You can think about it carefully." Tang Ji stood up on crutches and looked down at Hillary.

"Bye!" Hillary still looked at the coffee table, raised her hand and waved weakly to Tang Ji.

"Bye!" Tang Jida said, smiled, nodded to Xiu on the sofa opposite, and walked out on crutches.

After leaving Hillary's office, Tangji returned to his residence a few minutes later.

In the living room, Monica is coaxing Lin to sleep and walking around the sofa, while Manilla is accompanying Kristen in recovery training.

"Hi! Baby..." Monica greeted Tang Ji with a smile when she saw him coming in.

"Hi!" Tang Ji responded, stood at the door and took off his coat. Manilla walked up to Tang Ji and put away the clothes Tang Ji had taken off without a single glance. Her head hung slightly, looking very wrong.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ji hooked Manilla's chin with his hand and asked softly.

"It's nothing." Manilla said softly, glanced at Tang Ji, then lowered her head, holding the clothes Tang Ji had taken off and walking towards the hanger on the side.

There was no smile on Manila's face.

"Hmph!" Not far away, Kristen snorted heavily, as if to attract Tang Ji's attention, and then without looking at Tang Ji, she slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.

Tang Ji felt a lot of resentment, and he suddenly understood what happened. Monica must have told him about meeting Audrey.

With a helpless smile on his lips, Tang Ji limped to the sofa and sat down on crutches.

Christine, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, immediately moved to the side, away from Tang Ji, as if she was disgusted.

Tang Ji looked at Christine, then turned to look at Manilla who was standing by the cabinet, pretending to check the photo frame. He could see that Manila was not really checking the photo frame, but was waiting.
