Before Xia Runrun could happily think about how to win people's hearts next.

"Municipal sewage treatment plant?"

Liu Gaofeng, the man in the dog-skin hat, raised his hands, tied like dumplings, with a slight tremor. He said cautiously, "Miss Xia, isn't the equipment at this municipal sewage treatment plant a bit too large? I think the integrated sewage collection and reuse equipment at the community plant is quite good and can fully meet everyone's daily water needs."

Xia Ruanruan: "..."

The girl scratched her head a little embarrassedly. She didn't expect that sewage treatment equipment was divided into community models and super-large city models. She thought that except for those companies with more polluting enterprises that had special equipment, other urban domestic sewage was all treated by urban sewage treatment plants.

"The equipment in the city's sewage treatment plants is too large. The four sewage treatment plants in Xingyue City can handle the sewage discharged by the entire city's population of more than 20 million, including sewage from many corporate factories. We don't need to have such large sewage treatment equipment... I know that many new real estate projects in high-end communities are focusing on zero sewage discharge in the community. They must have relevant sewage treatment equipment..." Perhaps because he was talking about something related to his profession, Liu Gaofeng became bolder and spoke a lot.

Xia Ruanruan wasn't embarrassed. She nodded and smiled, "In that case, let's do as you say. As long as the sewage discharge from the entire campus is properly handled, I agree to your moving in. But those who are supposed to work still have to work. At most, you can send a few representatives away to persuade the others. The rest of you must continue to stay in the school to work on infrastructure construction until the wasteland is reclaimed and the buildings are repaired. Only then will the punishment end."

Without the illustrated guide, Xia Ruanruan might have wondered if these people were deliberately deceiving her, hoping to call for reinforcements to attack them. But since the illustrated guide clearly stated that over 90% of these people had surrendered and were willing to join her in building Zootopia, there was little reason to worry.

"Don't worry! We will definitely complete the task!" Wu Wenhua took two steps forward at the right time and said with a flattering smile.

In the future, you no longer have to worry about the wonderful life of mutant beasts and ferocious beasts, because he is here!

"That's good. I believe you can complete the task." Xia Runrun took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe, and patted Wu Wenhua's shoulder in an encouraging manner.

Since he is already in her collection, she should encourage him more so that he will be more willing to follow her.

As expected, as the little girl encouraged them solemnly and patted their shoulders, Wu Wenhua and the others' cheeks flushed with excitement and they nodded vigorously.

Woo woo woo!

The little boss finally gave them a chance, and this time they must hold on to him tightly. Even if it is just to let other people in the family live a good life, they will definitely work hard to complete this task!

…

The atmosphere in Wu Wenhua's base was extremely solemn at this moment.

Whether adults or children, they all subconsciously walked with light steps, for fear that they would accidentally make noise and disturb the group of people who were having a meeting nearby.

There were both men and women in this group, and there were more than a hundred of them. They all came from the other eight shelters that were attacked by Wu Wenhua to discuss things.

"This time, there are more than 500 young and middle-aged people in our shelters. We followed Boss Wu to the Xinghai Shelter... Boss Wu was captured, and more than 300 other brothers were also captured. Now there are less than 200 people who have returned, and we have directly lost 42 mutant dogs... After losing so many brothers and mutant dogs at one time, the combat effectiveness of our shelters has been greatly reduced. Now what do you think we should do?" A middle-aged man with a scar on his face, wearing a leather jacket and holding a machete at his side, frowned so hard that he could almost pinch a fly to death.

"What else can we do? I think we should choose a new boss now and reintegrate the forces of each shelter. These days, there is strength in numbers. In order to resist those ferocious beasts and mutant beasts and protect the elderly and children in the shelter, we should act quickly instead of thinking about the more than 300 brothers and Boss Wu!" A young man in a baseball cap sitting in front of the chair raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

"What are you talking about? Don't you think Boss Wu and those 300-plus brothers are going to leave us alone? These people all came from our nine shelters."

A young woman with short hair said sternly, "I have no objection to you electing a new leader. Ultimately, we're all trying to survive this natural disaster, but... you're not going to let our shelter abandon those captured survivors!"

"But what if we don't give up? Those people in the Xinghai Shelter not only have their own mutant beasts, but even Boss Wu's pack of mutant dogs has been subjugated by them. Do you really want us to fight those mutant dogs?" The young man in the peaked cap scolded coldly, "If you want to die, go by yourself. Don't drag down our other shelters."

At this time, no one present mentioned Wu Wenhua. Previously, Wu Wenhua used the combat effectiveness of the mutant dog pack to attack their shelters. At that time, their combat effectiveness was inferior to that of the other party, so they naturally surrendered. But now Wu Wenhua was captured, and there were only six mutant dogs left in the mutant dog pack. Even if Wu Wenhua secretly escaped from the hands of the people in the Xinghai Shelter, he would not cause much trouble.

There are more than six people in the nine shelters who own mutant beasts.

Sometimes people are so realistic and cruel, especially the several shelters that were captured in recent months. Their people have not even completely surrendered to Wu Wenhua, so how could they dare to take risks for Wu Wenhua?

"There's no point in you arguing with me."

The short-haired young woman tapped her fingers lightly on the table, making a crisp sound. This sound attracted the attention of the others around her. She looked at her coldly, "I only have one question for you - over 300 people were captured in the shelter this time, and you gave up on them. If the same thing happens again tomorrow, will you give up on others as well?"

The question raised by the short-haired young woman was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard, forcing them to think along the lines of what she said.

"Give up this today, give up that tomorrow. Is this shelter still a shelter? The people in the shelter are scattered. How are you going to unite them in the future?"

"If we can't unite the people, the shelter will fall apart. Are you capable of shouldering this responsibility?!"

The short-haired young woman's stern voice instantly silenced the surroundings, and the group of people looked at each other in confusion.

"But we can't win even if we go to rescue them. Are we just going to watch others die?" The young man in the baseball cap looked aggrieved. Wasn't what he just said for everyone?

The words spoken by the short-haired woman and the man in the baseball cap were powerful, and immediately brought the atmosphere of the entire conference table to a climax. Representatives from the nine shelters stood up and expressed their ideas. In the final analysis, everyone wanted to make the shelter develop well so as to create a better living environment for them, the survivors.

"What are you arguing about? What's there to argue about?! It's a complete waste of time. I might as well take this opportunity to go out and dig some wild vegetables!"

With a thud, the scarred man slammed his sword onto the table and sternly declared, "Since everyone has their own ideas, why not just split up? We're all from different shelters, so why force ourselves to merge? Boss Wu has been captured, and each shelter has its own survivors who were captured along with him. So, each shelter should act according to Mingzhu Shelter's own ideas. No one needs to convince anyone else!"

"In that case, let's follow Brother Li's method..." A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses pushed his glasses up on his nose. "It's boring to keep arguing."

The short-haired young woman and the young man in the baseball cap did not speak this time. The representatives of several other shelters around them looked at each other and fell silent.

After all, the main reason why such a quarrelsome scene has occurred is that in this shelter, apart from Wu Wenhua, there is no one else who has the absolute strength to overwhelm the other eight and serve as the leader of the shelter.

We are all the masters of mutant beasts, so how can anyone submit to anyone else?

"It's good for everyone to separate and return to their original positions, but... what about the six mutant dogs left behind by Boss Wu?" The young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses tapped the table lightly with his fingers and asked the final question.

Six mutant dogs are equivalent to the fighting power of a hundred strong men, and there are nine shelter managers here.

"Of course the six mutant dogs have to stay in our shelter! Our shelter was built by Boss Wu. How could his mutant dogs go with you?"

"Haha, Boss Wu has been captured. He may never come back in this lifetime. He might even have turned into dust long ago. The mutant dogs belong to the virtuous. Whoever can take these mutant dogs away and tame them will naturally be their master."

"What are you talking about in your sleep, kid? Everyone knows that when Mr. Wu was selecting people to feed the mutant dogs, he chose people from your shelter. The longer you feed them, the more favorable they become. You're dreaming of using this to play tricks?!"

Just as a group of people were arguing over the six mutant dogs, each wanting to take the mutant dogs for themselves and use them as fighting force in their own shelter.

Suddenly, a young man in his early 20s ran in from the door with an excited look on his face, shouting as he ran: "Boss Wu is back! Boss Wu is back!"

The people who were arguing: “……??!!”

Isn't this quite embarrassing?! They were just thinking about how to take Wu Wenhua's mutant dogs for themselves, but he just came back on his own...

After all, he had experienced many storms. Someone coughed twice and asked, "Did he come back with a pack of mutant dogs and more than 300 other brothers?"

"No... the only ones who came back were Boss Wu and Liu Gaofeng, and they didn't have any mutant dogs..."

As the young man finished speaking, the original atmosphere fell into an eerie silence. The group of people looked at each other, some were happy, some were thinking in their hearts, and some curled their lips in disdain.

So, five minutes later, when Wu Wenhua and the man in the dog-skin hat finally walked back to Wu Wenhua's shelter in the heavy snow and blizzard, they found themselves surrounded by a large group of survivors from various other shelters.

…

Wu Wenhua's head was still covered with snow. He didn't even have time to clean the snow off his body when he entered the shelter. Seeing everyone looking at him, he burst into laughter with joy.

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect everyone to be here! This is such a coincidence! I just have good news to tell you!"

Wu Wenhua took two steps forward, patted the shelter's younger brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "From now on, our shelter will be merged into the Xinghai Shelter. Are you happy? Hahahaha! This is an opportunity I fought so hard for you all! We must seize it this time!"

Wu Wenhua spoke passionately, with even sweat on his forehead. However, the representatives from the other shelters showed no reaction at all, and two of them even curled their lips in disdain.

There were hundreds of shelters throughout the vast Xingyue City, some large and some small, the more powerful the more famous. But before the attack, they had almost no idea what the Xinghai Shelter was called. And they were merging with a small, 300-person shelter they hadn't even heard of? Isn't that laughable?! This shelter was even smaller than theirs!

Some of the hundred or so people murmured quietly, laughing disdainfully at the Xinghai Shelter. One even stepped forward and said to Wu Wenhua, "Boss Wu, we call you Boss because you used to lead us through good times... But this time, not only did you lose over 300 people, but even the mutant dogs deserted you... We heard that those 40-plus mutant dogs turned against us... I wonder how you, Boss Wu, trained your dogs in the past."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Wenhua's smile immediately disappeared and he looked at the other person coldly.

"Are you saying that you don't want to merge with me into the Xinghai Shelter?"

Wu Wenhua swept his gaze around the crowd with authority. "Apart from him, who else among you is unwilling to follow me and join the Xinghai Shelter? Tell me all at once!"

"Boss Wu...we won't go with you."

The young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses touched a small golden snake coiled on his arm. "This time, our shelter lost quite a few lives. The compensation the shelter needs to pay to the victims' families alone is a huge sum... We don't need you to pay for it, Boss Wu... But let's forget about the merger."

The little golden snake's brown-red eyes moved slightly, and it wrapped its body around the back of the man's hand.

Before the virus broke out, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses raised two golden pythons, a male and a female. Unexpectedly, after the virus broke out, one of the pythons died and the other one mutated. The mutated one was a pregnant female python, which laid an egg, which was the little snake in his hand.

The little snake that was slightly spitting out its tongue was like an invisible threat, which made Wu Wenhua feel suffocated in his chest. His face became more and more ugly, and his hands at his sides unconsciously clenched into fists, as if he was about to explode in the next second.

"How do you know those people are dead? They are obviously still alive and well. The shelter will release them after a while... You are clearly trying to betray the boss by saying this!" Although the man in the dog-skin hat seems timid, he is also loyal. When he saw Wu Wenhua being confronted, he immediately became furious.

"Gao Feng, no need to say more to them."

Wu Wenhua suddenly unclenched his fists and patted Liu Gaofeng's shoulders, as if he had figured something out. He took two steps forward with a smile and gently stroked the nonexistent dust off the shoulders of the young man in gold-rimmed glasses. "Since you don't want to go with me, then you don't have to go..."

Wu Wenhua's voice was gentle and he had a smile on his face, but it immediately made the others secretly alert. They subconsciously held the weapons beside them to prevent Wu Wenhua from ordering his six mutant dogs to attack others.

However……

What no one expected was that Wu Wenhua not only didn't let the mutant dog take advantage of the opportunity to attack, but instead was as cheerful as a Maitreya Buddha: "The same goes for everyone else. If you don't want to go, don't go. It's best not to go again..."

"As for the others who want to follow me, pack your bags quickly. We'll leave in the next two days."

"I'll send someone to notify those in the other shelters whose family members have been taken captive. Those willing to come with us should gather here today... For those who don't want to go with us, please don't force yourself."

"Am I, Wu Wenhua, the kind of person who would force you? No!" Wu Wenhua smiled and patted the shoulder of the young man with gold-rimmed glasses.

Others who have already thought of nine hundred and ninety-nine reasons to refuse: “???????”

Wu Wenhua: Tsk! I worked so hard to get this benefit for you guys. If you don't want to go, then don't go. It's none of my business! I'll let those mutants and ferocious beasts scare you to death at night!

…

then.

Two days later.

Just as a group of captives were busy digging and clearing the land, Wu Wenhua, along with six mutant dogs and seventy or eighty men, followed Liu Gaofeng towards the high-end residential areas closest to their shelter.

A large black crow pierced the sky with a "caa ...
