Chapter 132 Arrogance
By doing this, He Ange cut off the way for other ordinary residents to replenish props.
When the riots first started, there were not many heating items in the city-state, and many people had not bought any, including clothes with thermal properties.
"This... this is too unfair..." The deputy captain's wife could only say this, because Longjiao City was the city-state founded by He Angge.
"Something will always go wrong if we do this. You and mom should pack up everything at home. If there's an emergency, we can leave immediately."
Even if ordinary residents blame the city lord now, the most important thing is to keep themselves alive. Some of them have to go out to buy clothes and props.
"Okay, I'll go tell Mom and the others."
The couple's parents were together and lived in a small nest before the end of the world, so they escaped together.
The wife put away her coat and went back to her room to tell her elders about this. Although there were many things in the house, there were enough people. Besides, her husband had bought a lot of large-capacity plaid backpacks when he went to Xuantian City with the city lord.
The deputy captain sighed and sent an email to other teammates to tell them about this. They were not short of supplies, but the ordinary residents in the city were, and there was also the Red Wolf Squad who were eyeing them covetously.
That team was the one that killed several ordinary residents in the field. It was noon at the time and few people saw the specific situation, but the people were indeed gone.
At that time, some family members said that their family members' names were darkened in the game list, and everyone realized that they were gone.
The few people who saw it were extremely frightened and ran back to the city shouting that someone had died and that it was the Red Wolf Squad who killed them.
Everyone was surprised at first, but then the Red Wolf Team became extremely arrogant and directly admitted that they had killed the players. The conflicts in the city were like powder kegs, which exploded as soon as they were ignited.
The deputy captain still remembered the greed and brutality in the eyes of the Red Wolf team leader. In their eyes, killing a few ordinary residents was no big deal.
In the past, these people were very domineering in the city, so they didn't bother the city lord's team. Everyone else was afraid of this group of second-rate characters.
Such a group of people would be a disaster if they stayed in the city-state.
Soon a team member replied to the email.
[Chai Jun: Is the City Lord trying to ascend to heaven? He even closed the shop!]
The vice-captain replied, "I suspect something bad will happen soon. You and your teammates should be on guard and pack your things in advance. He's getting more and more aggressive, and I'm afraid he won't make it through the winter."
[Chai Jun: Okay, I'll tell everyone I know.]
In another room in the hotel, the thin man who ran back to the city-state last time when he felt something was wrong received an email from his teammates in the city lord's team.
He thought these people would never pay attention to him again.
Chai Jun: Wei Guan, the city lord is doing something rash again, closing all the shops in the city. If he insists on doing this, things might get bad for the city soon. You should pack your luggage in advance. We thought about the last time you ran away first, and you warned us. It wasn't your fault.
Wei Guan looked at the email in silence for a long time before replying "Thank you".

He Ange was still in the City Lord's Mansion. At this moment, he had placed an armchair by the fireplace and was leisurely warming himself by the fire.
He just ordered the store managers not to open their stores. Since that group of people are so tough, they should not buy anything from his store.
Less than an hour later, someone emailed him.
"He Ange, what are you doing? Why did you close the city-state store? We still need to buy potions."
[He Ange, there are still many people who haven't bought heaters and winter clothes. Are you really just going to leave it alone?]
He Ange snorted and laughed. Wasn’t he so tough before that no one responded to him? Why is he so anxious now?
He Ange: They're not going out, so they can just stay indoors. They'll be leaving in the spring anyway, so let's just hold on a little longer.
After seeing his reply, the professional players who sent the email felt helpless. Is this still a city lord?
"Are you sure you want to do this? We don't mind, but if you cause public outrage, we'll have to go through the trouble of finding another city-state to settle in during the winter."
These words made He Ange very angry. How could those ordinary residents really cause such a commotion?
He Ange: What can a group of ordinary residents do? Don't try to scare me. You sound like you don't care, but you're just anxious.
After sending the email, the other party did not reply for a long time. It seems that he was right.
Even if this part of the professional residents left, he would wait until the next spring to attract another group of professional players by offering good equipment as rewards.
As for ordinary residents, he now understands that as long as the population of the city-state remains at 100, he will still be the lord of Longjiao City.
It would be better if there were fewer ordinary residents, so that there would be enough food and vegetables in the fields outside to distribute, and the excess could be traded with other city-states, which would be good for foreign trade.
He Ange was still enjoying the good times of the coming year, and the people from the Red Wolf Squad also knew that the city-state shops had been closed.
At this time, a group of people were gathered together and were unhappy.
"Captain, that kid surnamed He is really cocky. He thinks he's so great that he even closed the shop for the winter!"
The person speaking had a very loud voice, and the listeners felt their eardrums vibrating.
The captain sitting in the middle was a middle-aged man who looked quite honest and simple.
But everyone here knows that this captain is extremely ruthless and only appears honest on the outside.
"Let's negotiate with him first. He can trade with us privately. It doesn't matter whether he opens a shop or not." The important thing is that they can buy supplies.
The prices of equipment and props sold to professional players in Longjiao City have always been relatively low compared to those in the surrounding city-states.
Some people started complaining, "Huh, we had already agreed on a normal transaction with them, but this brat came up with this."
Captain Red Wolf held the small heater in his hand and said, "We should be polite. If he doesn't know what's good for him..."
He didn't need to say much about the rest, as everyone else understood.
"I see. We don't have to stay here."
"Hehe, that's it~"
The woman with a charming smile twisted her waist and sat in the captain's arms, "If it doesn't work, then..." and made a gesture of wiping her neck.
Everyone else laughed.
He Ange was in a state of admiration for himself at this moment. His idea just now was perfect. Even if he had such a large city-state but few people, he could still find another way out.
Who says a city-state must have many ordinary residents?
"City Lord He, I just learned that all your shops are closed, but our Red Wolf team needs to buy some supplies. Since you want to close the shops, we don't mind, but can we make a private deal?"
The email was sent by the Red Wolf Team, who had caused Longjiao City to fall into its current state.
In fact, he hated this team, but compared to ordinary residents, he needed to keep the professional residents more.
And the way Captain Red Wolf looked at him before made him feel very uncomfortable.
[He Ange: All stores are closed, and no new items are being produced, so I can't trade with you.]
He actually hoped that this team could leave his Longjiao City. Staying here would only cause him more trouble. He still hoped that his city-state could be more stable.
