Chapter 1823 The Speaker Is Unintentional, but the Listener Is Intentional
Often they would fight each other over some supplies.
In addition to extremely fierce competition, they also have to pay tribute to the top forces on time every month.
Once the tribute materials do not keep up, at least they will be angrily scolded by the people sent by these top forces, or at worst they may be killed directly.
This is also a major reason why it is difficult for their medium-sized forces to advance.
The resources are originally very limited and are not enough to be divided among forces like them.
Coupled with the tribute materials and the daily expenses of supporting these subordinates, the materials that can be collected are just a drop in the bucket.
In addition, if it was just like this, if he could be promoted to a large force just by enduring the humiliation and bearing the burden, then Zhou Qiang might not be so anxious to go out.
Because in just one year, this empty island world has changed and become more and more difficult to survive.
In the past, as long as small forces did not encounter air pirates, although their strength could not be improved, they could at least survive in this world.
But now that various natural disasters have occurred, the harvest of materials is also decreasing day by day.
There are also monsters that have spawned on the island, and their abilities have become several times more powerful.
Coupled with the appearance of the BOSS in the previous autumn, all the materials that had been obtained disappeared out of thin air.
This series of changes made Zhou Qiang know that if he no longer thought of ways to enhance his own strength.
Then the only thing waiting for them in the end is to be eliminated.
If this is just a game, then being eliminated is being eliminated.
The worst case scenario is to restart the game and try again.
But this is not a game world, but a real sky island world.
In this world, if you fail, if you are eliminated, there is only one outcome, and that is death!
Instead of waiting to die like this, Zhou Qiang decided to take a gamble and come out with all his brothers.
As the saying goes, if you give it a try, your bicycle will become a motorcycle.
"Okay, everyone, please listen to me. Don't check how much supplies are on the island after we land on the island."
"There is only one thing you have to do, and that is to immediately change the flags on the two islands to those of our Black Gold Alliance, and then connect the two islands to the main island and quickly evacuate here."
"No matter who it is, if you waste time because you are greedy for materials, don't blame me, Mr. Zhou, for turning against you!"
"Another point, and the most important point, is that if anyone else is found alive on the island, no matter who they are, they will be killed!!!"
Looking at the two islands that were gradually enlarging, Zhou Qiang took a deep breath and drank to everyone.
He didn't want these people to take it lightly because they were too excited, and he didn't want them to waste time just to grab supplies.
You know, this is not in their area, but in the area where the two top forces are located.
Although there are no islands from other alliances appearing now, Zhou Qiang will never foolishly believe that they are the only ones who will come to pick up the leaks.
The information about the war between the two major alliances was sent out on the World Channel.
There were at least hundreds of forces participating in the discussion at that time.
Many forces among them spoke up and said they wanted to come and watch the battle.
Zhou Qiang knew very well that these people said they were here to 'watch the battle', but in fact they were here just to pick up the slack.
It's just that everyone is not stupid and dare not say it in front of the two top forces.
Otherwise, even if they miss it, they may not be able to escape the pursuit of the two top forces in the end.
The reason why Zhou Qiang issued such an order was to harvest the empty island and stay away from this war-torn place.
He was not sure whether the two top forces would fight back.
This is a border after all. After the patrol team is killed, a new team will definitely be sent over.
Although the empty island not far away was uninhabited, Zhou Qiang could not guarantee whether there were any survivors on it.
What they do is tantamount to taking food from a tiger's mouth.
So once survivors are found, the best way is to kill them and silence them.
Otherwise, once their affairs are exposed, they will not escape death no matter where they run.
"Don't worry, Alliance Leader. You told us before we came here that we are fighting guerrilla warfare this time and we will never be wary."
Seeing Zhou Qiang's serious expression, everyone stopped playing.
Although they felt that Zhou Qiang was a little too nervous, they did not dare to say anything more.
They were very aware of Zhou Qiang's harshness.
Those who are disobedient are always killed decisively.
Even though there was a person named Sun Yuan who had made contributions to the alliance before.
That kid got a little carried away just because he was a hero of the alliance.
The task assigned to him by the alliance leader was also perfunctory.
Fortunately, nothing happened before, and the alliance leader turned a blind eye.
However, during a fight for resources later, due to Sun Yuan's mistake, the enemy had already obtained the supplies and snatched them away.
At that time, everyone knew that something was wrong and persuaded Sun Yuan to go to Zhou Qiang to plead guilty.
After all, this was not just a small amount of material. It was still very important to their development at that time.
But this kid didn't take it seriously. He only thought that this little material was nothing compared to the contribution he had made in the first place.
Even if he misses and makes a mistake, the alliance leader will definitely laugh it off just like before.
After returning to the alliance, the leader's face became extremely ugly when he learned what had happened.
However, considering his contributions, he was not punished. He was only fined a few months of salary, which was a minor punishment.
To put it bluntly, it was to give him a way out so that everyone would not be embarrassed.
Otherwise, as the leader of the alliance, if he did not punish a subordinate who made a mistake and was tolerant, how could he win the support of the people in the future.
How could he let other brothers follow him through life and death.
But Sun Yuan, I don't know if he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He got angry on the spot when he heard that Zhou Qiang wanted to deduct his salary.
Not only did he not accept it, but he also said in front of everyone that Zhou Qiang was ruthless and did not remember the good of him as a meritorious official.
He even threatened Zhou Qiang that if his salary was deducted, he would leave the alliance.
And he said wildly that someone had already offered him an olive branch, but he was reluctant to go through with it.
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Zhou Qiang's face turned black as soon as he said it.
Because the name of the alliance Sun Yuan mentioned was none other than the hostile alliance of the Black Gold Alliance.
And the supplies that were taken away this time were from the other party.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Combined with the previous events, any fool can see it.
Sun Yuan should have had the intention of rebellion long ago, otherwise how could the supplies he got be intercepted by others halfway.
This is obviously a gift that Sun Yuan deliberately gave to the other party.
