No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
When Ning Fan returned to Yecheng, it was already late at night.
While on the road, Ning Fan had been digesting the abilities "left behind" by Zhong Wujie.
Only now did Ning Fan realize that he had only learned the basics.
Gravity space is not just about simply creating gravity to suppress the opponent.
If used properly, the space covered by the ability will form a field of your own.
The biggest improvement for Ning Fan in this ability is not to fight alone.
But in the future when facing groups of strange beasts.
Just imagine, if you could create a field where you could manipulate gravity at will, the impact on exotic beasts and the help to yourself would be immeasurable.
The more Ning Fan thought about it, the more excited he became.
Even though he hadn't rested for nearly two days and one night, he still didn't feel any fatigue.
After returning to Yecheng, Ning Fan went to the forbidden wall first.
After all, Guan Shanyue was my replacement. Now that I'm back, I can't just go home and sleep peacefully.
On the city wall, Guan Shanyue was still leaning against the wall with both hands, looking at the darkness below.
Ning Fan remembered that Guan Shanyue was in this posture when he was about to leave.
"Uncle Guan."
Ning Fan strode forward and greeted him.
"Are you back?"
Guan Shanyue knew that Ning Fan had returned, but she did not look at him. Instead, she continued to stare straight ahead, as if lost in thought.
"Um."
Ning Fan walked over to Guan Shanyue and asked, "What's going on?"
"No."
Guan Shanyue shook his head: "No movement at all."
"You think there's a problem?"
Ning Fan asked.
Guan Shan finally turned his head to look at him: "What do you think?"
"The enemy should be gathering their forces somewhere we can't see, right?"
Ning Fan thought without hesitation: "After suffering two consecutive losses, they will realize that this wall is difficult to attack, so the next time they come, their strength will be several levels higher than before."
"yes……"
Guan Shanyue nodded slightly, then sighed, "We really don't know enough about the exotic beasts. It's really annoying not knowing what they're going to do next."
In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, Yecheng is no longer weak.
Advanced [Thousand Souls Level], related to Shan Yue and Wigginton.
There are also some masters at the [Thousand Souls Level].
As for the advanced [Hundred Souls Level]...
Not to mention Region F and Region E, there are dozens of generals in the border defense forces and the regional patrol forces.
This lineup may not be much worse than the previous three-unification cooperation area.
When Su Wanjun had not reached the [Ten Thousand Souls Level], the Three-Union Cooperation Zone might not necessarily be stronger than the current Wild City.
But the difference lies in experience.
The Three-Unification Cooperation Zone has always been responsible for guarding the [Top Wall].
Not to mention other regions, even the headquarters region was very confident in "handing over" this task to them.
In addition, in the hundred years of history, the [top wall] has never been breached.
This also makes people feel that as long as the Li family is guarding the place, there will be no problem.
Therefore, no one would spend too much time thinking about what was happening over there.
The top management of the region will focus more on how to compete for fame and fortune.
But now, when the strange beast really rushed to the door, everyone finally understood...
If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries.
And this is what Guan Shanyue is worried about at this moment.
He felt that if he had learned more about the exotic beasts earlier, he would not be as confused as he is now.
Ning Fan could feel Guan Shanyue's helplessness and self-blame.
only……
"Uncle Guan, if you're not tired, let's talk?"
Ning Fan said calmly.
Guan Shanyue looked at Ning Fan with some confusion: "What are you talking about?"
"Just chatting."
Ning Fan pushed himself up with his hands and sat down directly on the edge of the city wall, with his feet resting outside, looking quite relaxed.
Guan Shanyue stared at Ning Fan for a while, chuckled, and sat on the city wall.
The two looked at the darkness in front of them and fell silent for a while.
"Uncle Guan, actually, ever since we met, most of the time we've discussed what might happen when we face alien beasts in the future."
"To be frank, I think we only communicate at work. In private, we're not that familiar with each other."
Guan Shanyue thought about it and then nodded: "Indeed."
"But after all, we may have to support each other for many years to come."
Ning Fan sighed, "I'm more accustomed to working with people I know. I believe you, Uncle Guan, will also feel more at ease with people you trust."
"It's just right. Since you're not tired and I'm not sleepy, why don't we talk about what we think of each other? What do you think?"
Ning Fan took the lead in directing the topic.
Guan Shanyue did not object.
"I won't explain what kind of person I am. I believe you, Uncle Guan, already have a general idea of me."
Ning Fan looked at Guan Shanyue: "But, Uncle Guan, in my opinion, you have many advantages, but you also have a big disadvantage."
Guan Shanyue raised his eyebrows and became interested.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"I told you not to be impatient!"
Ning Fan smiled, then gradually became serious: "I'm not complimenting you, but I think among the people I know, you're one of the very few who are pure."
"Master He, He Ziqing, is the purest scholar I have ever met."
"Uncle Bai is also a man who would go through fire and water for his friends."
"Even Xia Qing..."
Ning Fan narrowed his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then commented, "Perhaps she has many flaws, but it's undeniable that she's a pure ambitious person."
Ning Fan said this, and Guan Shanyue did not deny it.
Then, Ning Fan changed the subject.
"And you are the purest soldier."
Guan Shanyue is indeed a person who has no interest in power.
After he joined Yecheng, he never competed with Ning Fan for dominance.
If he wants to, regardless of whether he can win, he may have the qualifications and ability.
But his idea was that Ning Fan managed well and he could give up this power.
As long as it is for the good of Yecheng, what does it matter who is in charge?
Moreover, Ning Fan could see that the thorn in Guan Shanyue's heart had not been removed so far, but had instead become deeper and deeper.
That thorn represents tens of millions of lives in District F.
Until now, Guan Shanyue still feels like a deserter.
As the commander of the regional patrol army, he abandoned his own region and came here to live a miserable life.
It is precisely because of this that Guan Shanyue feels that this wall protects more than just the lives behind him.
And your own dignity.
