Chapter 762 End of Hangzhou

Longhu was truly over. After searching it thoroughly and confirming that there were no living people left, we had Yu Jin take the zombies out of Longhu. Then, the cleanup work officially began.

These dead bodies cannot be left here; they must be burned somewhere. Otherwise, the bodies will rot and easily spread infectious diseases. So it's best to be careful. Burn all the bodies, clean up Longhu Lake, and then we can all move back into Longhu Lake and start a new life.

To be honest, I was very nervous before we wiped out Longhu, because I always felt that since Longhu was able to defeat Wu Shuang's team, they must be very powerful.

They were indeed powerful enough, but they were helpless against Pu Weichao. Pu Weichao dealt them a heavy blow, leaving them no chance to fight back from beginning to end. None of our people were lost; some were only slightly injured at the beginning, but these were minor injuries, not fatal, and they would recover completely in ten to fifteen days.

Now that everything is over, we can finally relax completely.

The rain hadn't stopped, and everyone was still tirelessly collecting the bodies from the ground in the rain, then transporting them to a distance to dry before burning them.

Following the scent of blood, Wu Shuang and I arrived at the edge of Longhu Lake. Looking at the shimmering water, I took Wu Shuang's hand and said, "This will be our home from now on, right?"

Wu Shuang asked, "Aren't you going back to Jiajiang?"

I gave a wry smile, realizing that this was still unresolved. I then said, "We definitely need to go back to Jiajiang, but there's no need to rush. Nothing bad is going to happen there yet. Let's get things sorted out here first. Once things are completely settled here, I'll go back to Jiajiang District and resolve the troubles there. After that, I think we can live peacefully here."

Wu Shuang laughed and said, "But Hangzhou is not completely unified yet; there are still two other districts."

I said, "Indeed, there are still two districts left. Let's take care of these two districts first. I reckon Pu Weichao probably already has some ideas."

Wu Shuang looked at me and said, "Don't always rely on him. Sometimes you have to think of your own way. What will you do if Pu Weichao isn't by your side anymore? Are you just going to let him do whatever he wants?"

I was stunned for a moment. I had never really thought about this question before. What would I do if Pu Weichao were gone one day?

It's unrealistic to let others do whatever they want. To be honest, I'm actually starting to panic. If Pu Weichao really leaves one day, wouldn't we be doomed?

After thinking it over, I glanced at Wu Shuang.

She saw the anxiety in my eyes. "Anyway, you have to learn how to rule now. I can see that Pu Weichao doesn't have much ambition. He wants to unify Hangzhou. His goal is very clear. And the fact that he can come up with these methods in such a short time shows that he is indeed a very capable person."

“Although he is very capable, you still have to be careful. You must not let him stand against you, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable,” Wu Shuang warned me. “Once he stands against you, you will definitely be finished.”

Will he stand against me?

Wu Shuang shook his head. "I don't know about that. I don't know much about him. I just think it's very possible. I don't know the current situation in Jiajiang, but in the future, you absolutely cannot let him stand on the opposite side."

Absolutely not?

But will Pu Weichao really one day stand on the opposite side of me?

This is something that couldn't be predicted, so I'm too lazy to think about it now. I can only leave it at that for now. The Longhu matter is over. Because it has been raining for the past two days, no one has moved to Longhu. They can only stay in the large community now. As for Qi Zhongyuan and his group, they were all so surprised when they learned that Longhu was gone that they couldn't close their mouths.

Clearly, they didn't expect things to end so quickly. Later, Du Xu told me that his group had planned to leave after we started the fight, but I lost. Whether they wanted to stay or leave was up to them; nothing else mattered.

Now that we've won, they haven't left; instead, they've stayed.

I didn't blame them for their choice. After all, everyone wants to live a peaceful life. Qi Zhongyuan and the others' initial decision to leave was simply a choice they made.

...

Inside the conference room.

After the battle ended and it got dark, Pu Weichao called us into the conference room.

He got straight to the point: "I've already sent people to check out the situation in the remaining two districts. They're basically small teams, not much of a threat, and they don't have any weapons. We can just take some people there and negotiate with them. Du Xu, you handle this. If they're unwilling to cooperate, just wipe them out to avoid leaving any hidden dangers."

Du Xu was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "Alright, I'll take care of it then."

As expected, Pu Weichao had already made arrangements for the remaining two areas. He had sent people to check them out long ago, and it seems that he knew he would win before even fighting Longhu.

Pu Weichao then looked at Wu Shuang and said, “Wu Shuang, I know you have been ruling this place for a while. Since that’s the case, Hangzhou will be under your jurisdiction from now on. Anyway, you are more familiar with the situation here than we are. Yu Sheng will stay and help you. I hope the two of you can coordinate the unification of the entire Hangzhou.”

Wu Shuang was surprised by Pu Weichao's directness and nodded, saying, "No problem."

Yu Sheng smiled and nodded. He wasn't good at management, but he had no problem leading troops.

Finally, Pu Weichao looked at me and said, "We've been out for so long, it's time for us to go back to Jiajiang and see what's going on there. Du Xu already told me that Su Mu is starting to get restless and wants to unify the entire Delta region. We can't let him succeed like this."

I asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Pu Weichao shook his head and said, "I've been away for too long, and I don't know what the situation is like there now, so I don't have any ideas. Let's go back and check it out first, and then we'll act according to the specific situation. There shouldn't be any problems with Yao Chengjie; he'll definitely listen to me. As for the central town, I'm counting on you, okay?"

I said, "There shouldn't be any problem. Xu Sanshui should give me face. Besides, he's not the kind of person who likes fighting. I guess it'll be fine."

"Um."
