Chapter 1474 Reality
Preposterous! An Tianzuo slammed his palm on the desk, nearly smas.h.i.+ng it to pieces. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
Its not a bad thing for Young Master Wen to stay in Guide City. It has plenty of dimensional zones and resources. It will definitely be an important place for all parties to vie for in the future. If Young Master Wen can successfully gain a foothold there, the benefits he will receive in the future will be hundreds of times greater, An Sheng explained on the phone. Who doesnt know that Guide City will definitely become one of the most important places in the world in the future? But look at the six families. Who dares to occupy it? Without the corresponding strength, entering too early will only make them cannon fodder for the other factions, An Tianzuo said coldly.
Young Master Wen isnt an ordinary person. His strength isnt something the six families can compare with. Perhaps he can gain control of Guide City ahead of time. An Sheng continued speaking up for Zhou Wen.
No matter how strong a person is, hes only one person. Whats the point of him staying there alone? An Tianzuo thought nothing of An Shengs words. Yu Qiubai has the intention of staying in Guide City. Hes lobbying the other teachers and locals to stay behind. If it really succeeds, it will be a good starting point. There will be a chance for development in the future. An Sheng reported the situation in Guide City to An Tianzuo in detail.
An Tianzuo snorted coldly. You dont need to wait for the outcome to know that its impossible. 99% of people wont choose to stay in Guide City.
An Tianzuo said it with certainty, sounding very confident.
An Sheng naturally knew that the success rate of this matter was very low. It was useless even with Zhou Wens reputation. Most people would still choose to move to Luoyang. It wasnt that people didnt have confidence in Zhou Wens strength, but everyone knew very well that no matter how strong Zhou Wen was, it was impossible for him to stay in the city 24/7 to protect them.
The average person needed a stable and orderly society. This was something Zhou Wen couldnt provide to them now, but Luoyang had everything Even if An Tianzuo wasnt in Luoyang, Luoyang still had the strength to withstand a large-scale attack from the dimensional creatures. There was a comprehensive city defense system, the famous Sunset Army of the Federation, and many famous experts in the Federation.
Luoyang was basically safe as long as the Sunset Army didnt fall.
Humans were selfish. No one was willing to bet their lives, so An Tianzuo and An Sheng knew very well that most people wouldnt stay in Guide City.
The reality was as they imagined. Things didnt go well when Yu Qiubai went to discuss with the teachers. Although most of the teachers respected him, they still tactfully rejected him.
Even the school management who had a good relations.h.i.+p with Yu Qiubai privately persuaded him not to risk his life and said that he should join everyone in Luoyang for future development.
If even the teachers acted this way, it was even more impossible for the people from Guide City who didnt have a good relations.h.i.+p with Yu Qiubai to stay.
Most people had already registered with the Sunset Army and were waiting to migrate to Luoyang. Yu Qiubai was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do. The situation in Guide City was indeed wanting. Furthermore, they had yet to confirm if they could build a human city in Sovereign Suis Tomb, so they were unable to use it as a bargaining chip.
This was within Zhou Wens expectations, but he never expected the results to be so tragic. Up to now, there were only a handful of people who were willing to stay. Humans are indeed pragmatic. Zhou Wen originally imagined that with Yu Qiubais reputation, he would be able to retain a few hundred people. He never expected there to be so few.
However, Zhou Wen didnt take it to heart. Although he really needed people, it wasnt unacceptable if there werent any. As long as he could establish the city, he still had a chance of attracting other humans to join in the future.
However, if there was no one in the early stages, it would indeed be more difficult, making many things inconvenient. No matter how strong Zhou Wen was, he wasnt omnipotent. Some things needed professionals, and those professionals were what Zhou Wen wanted the most.
For example, for the construction of buildings, Zhou Wen could build a wooden hut or stone building, but the dense buildings with well-planned layouts werent something Zhou Wen could do.
An Sheng already knew the outcome of this matter from the applications the Sunset Army received, but he had no solution.
It wasnt just An Sheng. The various factions in Guide City had long known about this matter. Zhou Wen sure has wild ideas to dare think of establis.h.i.+ng a human city in Guide City. Xia Liuchuan couldnt help but laugh when he heard the news.
Xia Xuanyue pondered for a moment before saying, I wonder if this is An Tianzuos idea. If its his idea, he has really taken a terrible step. Guide City is great, and the surroundings are like a breeding ground for myths and legends. Although there arent any clear pantheons, whats available to them is in no way inferior to Jerusalem in terms of dimensional zone resources. They are even more terrifying in certain aspects. However, the overall strength of humanity isnt enough to establish a human city in such a place. If we were to interfere too early, we would only become the target of public criticism. The An family has already done their best to defend Luoyang. If they still wish to interfere with Guide City, they will probably suffer a double loss.
Xia Liuchuan said, With my understanding of An Tianzuo, he definitely wouldnt do such a thing. Furthermore, Zhou Wen comes from Guide City. This matter is probably his idea. Although Zhou Wen is strong, establis.h.i.+ng a city isnt something a single person can do. I wonder what he plans on doing. Xia Xuanyue sighed. Xia Liuchuan suddenly stopped smiling and said to Xia Xuanyue, Zhou Wen must be lacking manpower now. Are you interested in having a vacation over there?
What do you mean? Xia Xuanyue knew that it wasnt as simple as sending her on a vacation.
No one wants Guide City now, but people will be vying for it in the future. If that kid, Zhou Wen, really occupies it, we might be able to reap immense benefits by helping him when hes most in need. It doesnt cost us much after all. Just treat it as an investment, Xia Liuchuan said.
Ill pay a visit then. Xia Xuanyue thought for a moment and nodded.
An Sheng was thinking of a way to help Zhou Wen retain some people. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for him. However, no matter how much he racked his brains, there was no good solution.
It was not like he could force the unwilling to stay at gunpoint.
Youre so mean Youre so mean Youre so mean An Sheng heard a ringtone and knew that it was from An Tianzuo. He hurriedly answered the call.
Overseer, what are your orders? An Sheng asked.
An Tianzuos voice didnt have any emotion as he said indifferently, Recently, an unknown break-out creature appeared around Luoyang. We are suffering from a shortage of manpower. Quickly return with the troops to provide support.
All of them? An Sheng asked.
Do you still want to leave some of them there? An Tianzuo grunted coldly.
Then what about Guide City? There are still many people who havent registered. Furthermore, its impossible to take all of them away at once. Even if we split them into batches, it will probably require dozens of batches for the evacuation An Sheng felt that there was a problem.
They couldnt take so many people with them. Those who couldnt leave would probably find it difficult to survive. After all, there were still skeleton creatures constantly charging out of Ancient City.
Now, it was all thanks to their suppression that such a situation could be maintained.
At this point in time, are those people or Luoyangs safety more important? An Tianzuo said angrily.
An Sheng seemed to understand something as he carefully asked, Overseer, are you implying?
Isnt it obvious enough? Dont bring any of them. Return as quickly as possible. If anything happens to Luoyang, Ill behead you, An Tianzuo said coldly.
Got it. Ill send the troops back now. I wont take anyone with me and leave them in Guide City. An Shengs expression was odd as he thought to himself, Overseer is really ruthless! Theres still much to learn.
