172. Chapter 172 172 The Curtain Rises



During the time Xu Zhi was silent in the city center, she was not the only one preparing for the danger that might come at any time.

With Xu Zhi's authorization and understanding of Xu Zhi's character, Zhong Lingfan has done a lot of things during this period.

First of all, of course, the residents in the city center were informed that although the gates between Cloud City and the Federation were open, not everything was starting to get better. Instead, the greatest danger was about to come.

Perhaps the extraordinary people in the Federation would feel terrified and panicked when they heard about this, but the situation of those who survived in Yuncheng would no longer be like this.

After all, they have already experienced the "doomsday" once.

Even though the administrators described the impending doomsday as extremely severe, in the eyes of the already weathered Cloud City transcendents, it was not something that needed to be wailed and feared. Instead of wasting time and energy lamenting the impending crisis, it was better to prepare as early as possible and not let themselves be as helpless as when the Cloud City disaster just struck.

Therefore, although Cloud City has been filled with a tense atmosphere in the past two months, it appears to be more orderly and stable than the Federation.

And they are not unaware that Xu Zhi, who built the base, made an indelible contribution to their ability to deal with the next crisis here. Even though the residents have never met Xu Zhi many times, they still define Xu Zhi in their hearts as the most reliable person in the future when fighting disasters.

Zhong Lingfan did not choose to break this atmosphere. The residents did not know Xu Zhi's true character, and had unrealistic expectations of her, even fantasizing about her as a "hero". This was a very normal thing, which came from the worship of absolute power.

But now is the time when this "booster" is needed.

And Xu Zhi's attitude also expressed that although she had no desire to be a hero, she did not intend to stand idly by. In this case, there would be nothing wrong in letting people mistakenly think that she was a hero.

Sometimes, a hero's existence doesn't really require her to save everything, but just to exist.

Therefore, even though Xu Zhi had not shown up in the residential area many times and had not used her supernatural powers to unite the residents at this moment, because of her existence, the supernatural beings in the Yuncheng base spontaneously showed signs of unity when the disaster was about to strike.

They can be calmer, more resolute, and more sober than the federal superhumans. They do not expect everything to be fine or that the doomsday is fake, and the most important thing now is naturally to improve their own abilities.

Therefore, the extraordinary people in Yuncheng also showed more enthusiasm for the federation's leeks. After all, they have cores that are easier to earn than hunting.

Perhaps because a disaster was approaching, Xu Zhi also "reluctantly" provided more city entry tokens. For some considerations, the Federation did not let all the people in the Federation know that the "doomsday" might suddenly come one day. Only some extraordinary people and certain classes in various cities knew the news.

But even so, Yuncheng has become an even more popular destination than before.

Who doesn’t want to gain greater strength to protect themselves before a disaster strikes?

Where can we improve the fastest nowadays?

Of course it’s Yuncheng.

The residents of Cloud City began to tacitly trap the cores of the Federation's extraordinary people, and in order to better absorb energy in Cloud City, the Federation's extraordinary people were also willing to give up their cores to seek the protection and guidance of the residents.

For a time, the two "camps" that should have been in conflict were unexpectedly harmonious, and the "conflict caused by the unbalanced mentality of the people of Yuncheng" that the federal top leaders had expected did not occur.

Zhong Lingfan has been splitting herself in two recently. She once asked Shen Jinwen if she was willing to leave Yuncheng, and Shen Jinwen's answer was no. If it had not been Xu Zhi's request, Shen Jinwen would not even be willing to leave the old residential area and come to the city center. Although she didn't know what method Xu Zhi used to persuade her, Zhong Lingfan herself could not make Shen Jinwen make concessions.

Staying here seems to be Shen Jinwen's bottom line, and she has a very heavy obsession with this.

Therefore, Zhong Lingfan could only ask her to look after some things and experimental progress in Yuncheng, and more federal matters were left to Lin Zizheng to help deal with.

The person that Xu Zhi brought back at the beginning was not top-notch in ability, but he had one advantage that made Zhong Lingfan feel quite satisfied, that is, he was very tactful and aware of the current affairs, his mind was quick in some aspects, he had high emotional intelligence, he was able to lower his self-esteem, and he had a clear mind and knew what he was doing and what he wanted. That was enough.

She needed someone like this to take care of some trivial matters.

Time passed by little by little in the busyness, and another month passed.

When a secret and dangerous experiment in the laboratory of Yuncheng finally produced results, when Xu Zhi's kitten woke up from his slumber, in a secluded mountain somewhere in the Federation.

A group of people with disheveled clothes and messy beards, who seemed to have not taken care of themselves for a long time, crawled out of a tunnel.

If the people of the Federation saw this scene, they would definitely be surprised and curse out loud in anger.

In order to avoid being tracked by the Federation, this group of people actually hid in an undiscovered ancient tomb, and it is very likely that they have carved the formation into the tomb.

Is this something a human can do?

Oh, no, these believers obviously cannot be considered human beings.

"This area has also been arranged. With this, we have completed 90% of the mission entrusted to us by the Lord."

"The only thing left is that damn Cloud City!"

The speaker's words were full of gnashing of teeth, as if he hated this city very much.

"What should we do? Our people have tried to sneak in several times but failed. There are several beasts guarding the entrance to the city. Our people will be killed as soon as they enter. There is no way for us to go in and carve the formation!"

"No rush. Let's try to communicate with the Lord first and explain the current situation. Perhaps the Lord has other instructions."

I can't continue wasting time with Yuncheng.

The group returned to the middle of the mountain, disguised themselves in a dilapidated wooden house that looked as if no one had lived in it for more than ten years, and then left the secluded mountains one after another. They returned to the Federation through different means, and then gathered at a certain place one day.

"Everything is ready, so let's get started."

The ceremony of communicating with the Lord was somewhat complicated, and involved the sacrifice of a hundred low-level believers. Afterwards, the high-level believer who was in the lead finally received His will.

The moment he opened his eyes, an expression of ecstasy appeared on the believer's face.

"The Lord said that He has His own arrangements in Cloud City. We don't need to worry about it. We just need to make preparations for the Federation."

"Now, everything is ready, and the Lord's consciousness is almost awake."

In the dim room, only the blood-colored formation under his feet was emitting a faint red light, which clearly reflected the faces of everyone gathered in the room. Without exception, they all had a fanatical and creepy worship and ecstasy for what was to come.

The leader's tone was crazy and cruel. He no longer suppressed his voice, but changed his previous caution, took off his black robe and shouted to his companions.

"Now, the time has come! My compatriots, now is the moment for the ceremony to begin!"

"My Lord endured a hundred years of suffering, and now the world must pay him back."
