Liu Guorong's arrival brought news of an impending beast tide, and Hope City, which had only been peaceful for a short time, suddenly became busy again.
Those who have awakened their memories know how terrifying the beast tide is, and those who haven't awakened their memories have also heard about how terrifying the beast tide is from others.
Before the beast tide arrives, we must improve our strength as soon as possible.
Only in this way can they survive the beast tide.
Zhang Lin hadn't even had a few days of peace after returning to Hope City when he was forced to get busy again.
The city lord then summoned everyone together again.
This time, in addition to the original five team leaders, there were seven other people.
During this period, the city lord determined the captains of the other seven teams based on the potential of each individual.
"Xiao Jin, you are the captain of the sixth team!"
The first person the city lord called out was his former most trusted and beloved general.
Although Jin Sina has been away from Hope City for a long time, she still possesses considerable strength, and she remains utterly loyal to the city lord.
The city lord, of course, would promote his trusted confidants immediately.
Next, she announced the other team leaders one by one.
Tang Lian, who had previously been defeated by An Qing's singer, was directly appointed by the city lord as the captain of the seventh team.
Next were Chen Zibo and Niu Lei, as well as another man from Hope City named Jin Kai, who served as captains of the eighth, ninth, and tenth teams, respectively.
Next are Chen Junyu and Qiao Ruoxi.
The city lord originally intended to promote Qiao Yu to captain as well, but considering that Qiao Yu had once been the leader of a force, it would be a disservice to him to make him a captain like his daughter. Therefore, the city lord promoted him to her side as a deputy to help her manage Hope City.
"These past few days, you must have heard that Liu Guorong from the Lanma District of Rongcheng has arrived. He brought news that this beast tide seems to be arriving earlier than expected..."
After announcing the appointment of the captains, the city lord said, "You captains have been appointed in a time of crisis. From now on, you need to do your best to select team members. You need to choose strong and reliable people. At the same time, I will increase the number of personnel in each of your teams to one hundred!"
The city lord did expand the city guard in the past with the intention of counterbalancing Zhang Lin.
However, as time went on, the city lord realized that this apocalypse was beyond his control, so expanding the city guard was actually a way to deal with the crisis.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only twelve teams and twelve hundred people. However, it takes a lot of resources to train these people. At the same time, the twelve hundred people are systematically awakening their extraordinary templates and training their team combat abilities...
When unleashed, its power is enormous.
These 1,200 men were the city lord's elite troops.
Then, combined with the scattered residents of Hope City, and people from other nearby settlements who are about to move closer to Hope City, this becomes a very powerful force.
The city lord nodded in satisfaction, then instructed everyone to carefully select their subordinates, train them well, and provide all the necessary resources.
The meeting then adjourned.
"Captain Zhang, please wait."
Qiao Yu called out to Zhang Lin from outside the door, smiling as he said, "The city lord asked me to keep you here for a moment, saying he has something to discuss with you privately."
"oh."
Zhang Lin nodded, then turned and walked into the city lord's mansion.
On the way, Qiao Yu struck up a conversation, "Captain Zhang and the city lord have a really good relationship. I think neither Captain Xia nor Captain Jin are as trusted by the city lord as you are."
Zhang Lin simply nodded noncommittally and didn't bother to reply.
Qiao Yu was a little embarrassed, but then he stopped hiding his true purpose and asked, "Captain Zhang has been back from his trip for a few days now, why hasn't he come to visit me? Xi Xi has mentioned you to me more than once."
The old man was indeed going to sell his daughter.
"Well..." Zhang Lin was too embarrassed to say that he had been taking care of the backyard at home these past few days and really hadn't had the time, so he could only smile and say, "It's too presumptuous of me to come here so suddenly."
“Don’t be so presumptuous, Xixi and I would love to have you here,” Qiao Yu said immediately.
The early arrival of the beast tide intensified his sense of crisis.
Even though he had heard some of Zhang Lin's reputation in Hope City these past few days, he still hoped that his daughter could be with Zhang Lin in order to survive until the end.
If you don't want to be condemned to eternal damnation, you can only survive until the very end.
To survive until the end, one must rely on either skill, luck, or other people.
Knowing he lacked ability and couldn't guarantee his luck, Qiao Yu had no choice but to choose the third path.
Zhang Lin didn't stand on ceremony with Qiao Yu's hospitality. "Alright, I'll come to your house for a visit after I leave the City Lord's Mansion."
Qiao Ruoxi is also a great beauty. Zhang Lin estimates that her overall score is at least 80 or higher. If he can win her over, it will be a huge gain.
"Alright, Xixi and I will go home and wait for you. Don't break our promise." Qiao Yu smiled, then turned and left.
The City Lord's Mansion.
Reception room.
Zhang Lin pushed open the door and entered.
The city lord sat in the main seat, with a pot of tea and a plate of snacks in front of her. She took off her mask and ate snacks and tea in quick succession, showing off her things at a speed comparable to a squirrel gnawing on a pine cone. Zhang Lin was quite surprised by what he saw.
Sometimes, it's really not fair to blame Zhang Lin for being disrespectful to her; it's just that... she just couldn't bring herself to be in awe of him!
"When the beast tide arrives, I will inevitably have to take action. My mechanization is irreversible, so... is it wrong for me to eat more while I can still eat?"
Seeing Zhang Lin's strange look, the city lord offered an explanation, but did not stop eating. He continued to stuff food into his mouth as he spoke.
“No problem, bro…” Zhang Lin sat down opposite her and asked, “So, what’s the matter that you called me over here alone?”
"You know about the beast tide, right?" the city lord asked.
“I know a little about it.” Zhang Lin had naturally heard of it. “It’s similar to a zombie apocalypse, so what can I do?”
"Soon, forces and experts from Rongcheng and the surrounding areas will gather in Hope City. With so many people fighting, we definitely need a leader. You will take over."
The city lord spoke without looking up, and in the time it took to say a few words, a plate of pastries had disappeared. She pushed the empty plate aside, then took out two more plates from under the coffee table and continued to show off.
"Me?" Zhang Lin was somewhat surprised. "I don't have any reputation. Would those people respect me? Besides, I'm too lazy to do this kind of thing. It's too tiring!"
The city lord was speechless at Zhang Lin's lazy personality.
At the same time, she also understood that Zhang Lin was the type of person who wouldn't act until he saw a clear benefit.
So, very skillfully, he said:
"What are your conditions? Tell me!"
