Chapter 833: Law of the Jungle
Outside the bustling North Gate, as everyone waited eagerly, Yun Tao opened the gate and handed everyone two letters, probably invitations to the leaders of Xiaozhou City and Times Base.
The two letters were quickly delivered to the leaders of Xiaozhou City and Times Base. Hu Zheng and the leaders of Xiaozhou City appeared outside the north gate of Baihua City one after another. Both of them had tired looks on their faces, and their expressions were no different from those of everyone else in the huge crowd at the north gate.
"Strange, Baihua City has clearly invited the leaders of the two bases to come, why haven't they opened the city gate yet?"
"Yes, the weather is getting colder day by day. We dare not leave here. If we don't open the city gates and start free trade, I'm afraid we will lack supplies for the winter."
"If I had known this would happen, I should have made it clear at the beginning and negotiated the terms. Why would I attack???"
Someone was complaining in a loud voice, just enough for Hu Zheng and the leaders of Xiaozhou City to hear. Hu Zheng turned around and glared at them, while the leaders of Xiaozhou City lowered their heads and stared at the ground motionlessly.
Most of the people gathered outside the gate of Baihua City have been waiting here for more than half a month. Many of them were already terminally ill when they first arrived at the gate of Baihua City. They were only a breath away from turning into zombies, but they survived without receiving Liu Shasha's treatment.
People haven't figured out why this happened, but those who survived all have some resentment in their hearts, resentment towards the leaders of Xiaozhou City and Times Base. If it weren't for such an overconfident raid, Baihua City wouldn't be closed today, and they wouldn't have to stand here in the cold wind today.
Of course, no one could be sure whether the raid was carried out by Xiaozhou City or the Times Base. Luo Feifan tortured and interrogated them several times, but no one was willing to say anything, so he didn't care about torturing them again.
Anyway, no matter who did it, it was either Xiaozhou City or Times Base, or Kinmen Base, or those large and small bases and cities outside that have not yet emerged, it doesn’t matter.
What is important is that Baihua City has recognized a reality: the law of the jungle is followed in the end times. In the jungle law of life and death, if you want to be in a position where you will not be beaten, you have to develop yourself, strengthen yourself, and use powerful force to deter those who want to come to Baihua City to make trouble.
Some time ago, the only ones who explicitly proposed to borrow Liu Shasha were Xiaozhou City and Times Base.
So Baihua City invited the heads of the two bases over. What for? Just stand outside the door and watch.
However, as they stood there, Hu Zheng was the first one who couldn't hold back and spoke up, amid the complaints of the people outside the gate. He shouted at the watchtower that was showing a corner among the dense trees: "Is this how you treat us after inviting us here? We want to see An Ran, open the city gate! Open the trade route as well."
Nowadays, although some people can enter Baihua City, only one small gate is opened between the north and south gates of Baihua City, and it is strictly guarded. All those who enter Baihua City must surrender their weapons, and only travelers passing through the north and south are allowed to enter Baihua City for supplies.
That means that no one can stay in Baihua City. All travelers who want to enter Baihua City must surrender their weapons in the morning, complete an extremely complicated security check procedure, enter Baihua City, complete their purchases, and exit through the South Gate before the sun sets in the evening.
Those who don't want to leave can be cleared out by force!
