Beneath the Upper City

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...

Chapter 847 Long-term considerations

"I've been here for a while."

Wigginton said softly, "I heard a lot of noise outside and couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

"Did the old man see the battle just now?"

Ning Fan stood next to Wigginton.

Wigginton nodded slightly: "I see."

"What do you think?"

Ning Fan continued to ask.

But this time, Wigginton did not answer Ning Fan's question immediately.

After thinking carefully for a long time, he sighed.

"This is just one gear!"

These words come from the heart.

What came now were only the lowest level monsters.

It was this strange beast that killed the human soldiers in large numbers.

This was possible with the help of Duan Weijun and Xu Ben.

Although it seemed that the humans had won a great victory, they had forced the monsters back and even killed all the enemies except the hunting dogs at the cost of only more than 2,000 lives.

But in fact, most of these strange beasts that were killed did not rely on their own strength.

Duan Weijun’s firepower coverage solved some of the problems.

Xu Ben’s long-range attack team was also dealt with.

And Malgado also took the lives of many exotic beasts.

These three forces combined have killed 70% of the strange beasts.

As for the army in Region E, they offered almost no strong resistance when the enemy approached.

Most of the people were holding guns and shooting wildly.

Whether or not you can hit the enemy is no longer important.

They only know that the more bullets they fire, the greater the chance of survival.

Of the two thousand men who died in the battle, nearly half were killed by their own comrades.

To be honest, from Wigginton's perspective, this battle was quite ugly.

But what made him most uncomfortable was that he could not guarantee that his own army would be much stronger than those in District E.

Also, this is the lowest level of alien beast.

If we can't even deal with this strange beast calmly, what will we do in the future?

Whether it is Ning Fan, Withers, or Wigginton, they are all thinking about this issue now.

Everyone knows that the strange beasts outside the [Top Wall] are very powerful.

But no one expected it to be this strong.

Including Ning Fan.

Ning Fan had thought before that no matter how powerful the strange beast was, it had been guarded by the Three Unification Cooperation Zone for a hundred years.

But now he understood that just because others could do it, it didn't mean he could do it easily.

He only knew that the strange beasts had never penetrated the [Top Wall], but he didn't know that in the past hundred years...

How many people died.

"Commander Ning, the rotation system... let's change it."

Wigginton continued in a low voice: "This will greatly affect efficiency."

Ning Fan looked at Wigginton with some surprise.

The rotation system itself has huge hidden dangers.

Every time the three forces change positions, there will be a short period of combat power vacuum.

If the alien beasts took advantage of the time of changing guards to attack, our side would definitely not be able to exert its full combat strength due to the rush.

However, Ning Fan proposed this method in order to make it easier for all three parties to accept it.

After all, no one wanted to put in the effort before. If someone did too much or too little, problems would arise.

This is the best solution when everyone's hearts are not tied together.

But now, Wigginton has taken the lead in proposing to cancel this method.

That is to say, from this moment on, Wigginton has begun to take the strange beast seriously.

Perhaps there is still no way to achieve complete trust among the three companies.

But what can be guaranteed is that everyone can work together to fight against the alien beasts.

"Okay, as for the specific plan, I'll make an appointment with Mr. Withers tomorrow and we can sit down and discuss it together."

Ning Fan nodded.

"OK."

Wigginton thought for a moment and added, "District E is the weakest among the three of us. Let's try to reduce their burden!"

Ning Fan understood what Wigginton meant.

If Region E is completely gone, then they will be like losing a comrade.

This is definitely not a good thing.

Besides, Ning Fan and Wigginton didn't know the situation in Region E.

If there is really too much turmoil in Region E, there may not be peace within their region either.

By then, it may involve more energy from Yecheng.

Wigginton was not being kind out of impulse, but was thinking about the long term.

For now, it is important to ensure the integrity of Region E and help Weathers consolidate his position as regional director.

Through this battle, the three forces in Yecheng are gradually moving towards a community of interests.

"Why didn't those two-headed beasts attack you?"

Wigginton changed the subject: "I heard a legend before that strange beasts would not attack people in the upper city."

Ning Fan knew that Wigginton was testing him.

After all, what just happened outside did look quite strange.

"It seems that the old man didn't read the information I provided you!"

Ning Fan chuckled.

Wigginton raised an eyebrow. "I saw it, but there were too many low-level beasts. I didn't pay much attention to it and handed it over to the people below."

In other words, Wigginton only looked at the information of higher-level exotic beasts.

This includes third and fourth gear.

"Those strange beasts are only responsible for transportation."

Ning Fan patiently explained to Wigginton.

After listening to Ning Fan's description of the hunting dog, Wigginton was obviously a little surprised.

"Does this kind of strange beast still exist?"

"These exotic beasts have strong evolutionary abilities. They will evolve into the species currently needed in a short period of time based on demand."

Ning Fan whispered, "As for the foraging dog species, it's said to have existed a long time ago. Anyway, what Ye Liang meant was that this kind of beast existed when he first started guarding the [Top Wall]."

Wigginton said nothing.

Then, his eyes suddenly changed.

"So this means..."

Wigginton did not finish his words.

But he thought of a question that made people's backs chill.

That is, the exotic beasts will change according to demand.

And the strange beast called foraging dog appeared a long time ago. Doesn’t this mean that they had a strong demand for the job of “moving” a long time ago?

How many people have the strange beasts killed in the past hundred years to create such a high demand for transportation?

Ning Fan did not add to Wigginton's words.

Both of them now thought of the same question.

"Old man, how this kind of hunting dog evolved is actually not important in my opinion."

Ning Fan's voice was very soft.

He looked quietly at the darkness in front of him, which had quieted down, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"In comparison, what I care more about is..."

"Where will they carry these bodies to!"

As he spoke, Ning Fan gradually narrowed his eyes.

"I want to follow them and take a look."
