Even if the destruction of Longxing Valley resulted in the loss of dozens of people, there are still hundreds left here.
If these people do not withdraw, and the Jade Mining Mountain Base and those small bases are discovered, repeating the fate of the Longxing Valley Stronghold, then the loss to the Zhou Family will be substantial, a crippling blow.
But if they withdraw now, not to mention how to settle these people and ensure they don't leak secrets after returning to Jingguo Country, the financial blow to the Zhou Family will be enormous!
It must be noted that the financial contributions from the Wasteland Territory now account for thirty percent of the Zhou Family's total income, and this does not include the trade with the Scale Frog Alien Clan!
If they completely abandon these bases and mines, the Zhou Family's financial deficit will skyrocket rapidly, and the ensuing shortfall will be unavoidable and nearly impossible to remedy.
