Chapter 901: 873 Monster Attacks the City
Rong Xianxian built a new city far away from human gathering places, and all major safe zones received the notice.
Resources are exhausted around most safe zones, and survival is becoming increasingly difficult for ordinary people, especially in the winter and spring when there is a gap between the harvests. Many ordinary people can only rely on government relief to get by, but the official grain reserves are gradually being consumed. In the past two winters, more and more old, weak, sick and young people have frozen to death or starved to death.
Now that Rong Xianxian is building a new city, the population needs to be relocated. In fact, the officials of the major security zones are very conflicted. They hope to reduce the burden, but they are also worried that the population loss will have a negative impact on the stability and development of the security zones. Although the number of people relocating is not large at present, once this gap is opened, it will probably cause unrest among the people.
Chang Qing turned around to look at the orphanage behind him with a grim expression. The director of the Huaibei City Civil Affairs Bureau smiled and said, "This orphanage houses children aged 5 to 16. There are exactly 1,500 people left. Captain Chang can take them away at any time." He had already picked out most of the children over 10 years old. The remaining children over 10 years old were because they had younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage and did not want to be separated from their younger brothers and sisters.
The director of the department knew that this was not quite right, but since it was a decision from above, he could only bite the bullet and put on a smile.
"I think there's no need to go and see what's next. I accept more than 1,000 children under ten years old, but are you planning to bring 500 middle-aged people over 50 years old?" Chang Qing knew that the Huaibei city officials would make a fuss about the age range issue, but his wife told him not to worry about it.
"That definitely won't happen, no, haha, don't worry, Captain Chang!" Director Si's face immediately lit up with smiles when he saw that Chang Qing did not reject these children.
Rong Xianxian looked at the population list that Chang Qing handed to her and said, "Now that the list is out, I will send you back tomorrow morning!"
"Madam, am I going back too? What about this mirror?" Chang Qing was a little worried. He was keeping a rune teleportation sub-mirror, which served as a teleportation coordinate.
"Of course you have to go back. You don't have to worry about the transmission coordinates. What you should worry about is how to arrange these people when they go back? There are many people who will be sent back one after another, don't you have to keep an eye on them?" The last time when Ning Qingyun sent Cui Lie and others back, he complained to her. During this period, Wang Lin and others who had been handling affairs on behalf of Chang Qing kept asking for instructions on trivial matters, which gave him a headache.
"Yes! Madam!" Chang Qing replied.
Huaibei City has already made all preparations. Anyang City under the charge of Feng Xingjia, Jinzhong City under the charge of Song Min, Xiling County under the charge of He Wen, Donghai County under the charge of Wang Qirui, and Qingliangshan Town under the charge of Ji Xinghui have all reported back the news that their missions have been completed. Rong Xianxian thought about it and simply spent two days to travel around those safe zones, and after picking up the people, they returned to Tianhe New City together.
Rong Xianxian used the teleportation mirror to return to the new city. As soon as she stood firm, she heard roars of wild beasts, the sound was like surging waves, and the roar of artillery shells flying by.
Even the ground beneath our feet was shaking under the trampling of the beasts and the bombardment of artillery shells.
Rong Xianxian communicated with the foggy space and transferred everyone out. There were more than 10,000 people in total, filling the entire martial arts field.
"Madam, there are monsters besieging the city outside!" Chang Qing looked excited when he heard the noise.
"Run, there is a monster!" A trembling voice shouted in fear, instantly causing a commotion among the crowd.
"Don't panic!" Chang Qing was afraid that so many people would be trampled, so he immediately activated the Palm-Inch Landscape Fan to immobilize everyone on the spot.
"We are in the city, not outside the city. The city walls here are very high, and the monsters cannot break in. We just happened to catch up with the monsters attacking the city. Who wants to go up on the city wall to help?" Chang Qing's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly. His face was a little pale. Using the Palm-Inch Mountain and Water Fan for such a large-scale control operation was still extremely consuming, even though his targets were just ordinary people.
He quietly withdrew his control over some people.
"I want to go!" A timid little boy raised his hand firmly. He looked about eight or nine years old, with a thin body but bright eyes.
Both his parents were killed by monsters, and he and his sister became orphans. In the past two years, there has been a food crisis in Huaibei City, and more and more people have frozen to death or starved to death in the orphanage. Now that he has come to a new place, he wants to perform well and fight for a chance to survive for himself and his sister.
“I want to go too!”
“I want to go too!”
Many people shouted one after another.
Most ordinary people in the major security zones have experienced monster attacks on cities. In their impression, once monsters attack a city, everyone has to help defend the city, because once the city is broken, no one can escape.
Chang Qing looked at the boy who spoke first with admiration. This kid is brave and knowledgeable at such a young age. It's good.
"Very good. Chang Qing, you take Song Min, Wang Qirui and others to organize those over the age of eight to go to the front to take a look. He Wen, Ji Xinghui, you two take people to take the children under the age of eight to the orphanage for placement. Go your separate ways!" After Rong Xianxian made the arrangements, she went to find Ning Qingyun!
Ning Qingyun was riding on a flying skateboard and overlooking the city below. He was observing the overall movement of the monsters. He had sensed the breath of a level seven monster before, but in the blink of an eye he could no longer capture it.
"How is it? Did you find it?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"No, this monster is too cunning. Now that you're back, it will dare not show up." Ning Qingyun took off the telescope hanging around his neck and handed it to Rong Xianxian.
"It's just that I came back at an unfortunate time. I have been careful to restrain my breath, so it shouldn't be able to detect me!" Rong Xianxian picked up the telescope and looked down.
From the perspective of the two people, the following situation is clear at a glance.
Most of the monsters participating in the siege were around level four in strength, with level five monsters accounting for one-tenth of the total. There were only a dozen level six monsters in total, and each level six monster led a herd. It seemed that this siege was a joint action of more than a dozen herds.
"Who is in charge of defending the city? It looks great!" Rong Xianxian sighed as she watched the city defenders from all sides cooperate with each other in an orderly manner.
"You Hai! He had been lurking in the Jincheng official organization and had a direct line of contact with Chang Qing. He was exposed when those organizations were clearing out our forces in Jincheng. He was among the people we rescued from the Qingshi Underground Palace last time." Like Chang Qing, You Hai was a member of the Information Department trained by Ning Qingyun. He was on the same level as Chang Qing in the organization.
"We will have a lot of jobs in the future. With You Hai's ability, it will be no problem for him to lead a place on his own!" Ning Qingyun said admiringly.
