Niu Chuan returned to Hope City a step ahead of Zhang Lin.
He has a mission.
Although he was physically weak, Niu Chuan was willing to go to great lengths for Zhang Lin this time.
Peng Bing is dead, but his influence remains.
With so many people involved, if things aren't handled properly, it could easily lead to chaos.
Niu Chuan had long worked for Peng Bing, and within Peng Bing's power structure, he was the third most important figure after Peng Bing and Peng Yong.
Peng Bing and Peng Yong are both dead.
Therefore, Niu Chuan was the highest-ranking person in Peng Bing's faction.
What he needed to do was to stabilize Peng Bing's power for Zhang Lin, and then, once Zhang Lin returned, he would ensure that Peng Bing's forces would directly pledge allegiance to Zhang Lin.
That's his only purpose.
Therefore, Ushikawa was very proactive, even disregarding the fact that continuing to travel would severely deplete his energy.
Because he needed to demonstrate his worth in order to gain Zhang Lin's favor later on.
For Zhang Lin, having someone like Niu Chuan to do things for him is very reassuring.
By the time he returned to Hope City, Niu Chuan had already thoroughly investigated Peng Bing's internal and external forces.
Apart from a small number of people who chose to leave, more than 90 percent of the remaining people chose to join Zhang Lin.
To be precise, they sought refuge in Hope City.
At this point, for most people, the city lord clearly held greater prestige.
If the city lord hadn't been standing behind Zhang Lin, they might have preferred to join other factions.
However, this does not mean that Zhang Lin is still an unknown nobody.
Peng Bing and his son Peng Yong died at his hands, as did six or seven other leaders of smaller factions.
No one dared to underestimate Zhang Lin's strength.
However, compared to the city lord, who is truly reborn infinitely and has absolutely no selfish motives, and is wholeheartedly devoted to humanity, Zhang Lin's side still lacks some prestige.
After Niu Chuan sorted out the internal affairs of Peng Bing's forces, Zhang Lin also returned to Hope City.
However, Zhang Lin did not rush to assess Peng Bing's strength. Instead, he had Qiao Ruoxi take his place to connect with Niu Chuan. Following the same strategy as before, he slowly absorbed these people, gradually bringing them into the vanguard army.
Zhang Lin disliked these trivial matters, so he went straight home and chose to spend time with An Qingge, Ji Yuetong, and of course, the other women.
There will naturally be someone to help him with these things.
...
“During this period, large-scale beast hordes have been attacking Hope City. The city lord has also scouted the surrounding area. Groups of beasts are merging, and some powerful supernatural creatures are also fighting. Once they select a beast king from among themselves, they will have the opportunity to launch an attack on Hope City.”
When Zhang Lin returned home, before he could even reminisce about the peaceful and cozy life he had been living for a few days, An Qingge pulled him aside and brought up serious business again.
An Qingge was a little worried.
In the past few days, the city lord has frequently called these captains over for meetings, telling them about the situation of the beast tide in the wild, and studying tactics and strategies with them.
An Qingge had never awakened her memories and had no experience with beast tides. In the video taken by the city lord, all kinds of extraordinary creatures gathered together, and their enormous numbers seemed to blot out the sky, which made her somewhat afraid.
Of course, she wasn't the kind of timid woman.
Her fear stemmed from the fact that she was pregnant, rendering her completely powerless to fight during this time. Not only could she not help Zhang Lin, but she might even become a burden.
But what if humanity is no match for superhuman beings?
Then, her unborn child may never have the chance to be born.
For various reasons, An Qingge has been feeling very tense and anxious lately.
So, as soon as Zhang Lin returned, she pulled him into the house and started talking about the beast tide.
"You don't need to worry too much. Even if humanity is no match for the beast tide, I will definitely be able to lead you to survival."
Zhang Lin offered her this words of comfort.
However, An Qingge's anxiety was not relieved; perhaps pregnant women are naturally more sensitive.
"If human settlements are breached, even if we survive, where can we go?" she worried. "When our children are born, will they have to live like savages in the wild, constantly being chased by supernatural creatures?"
After saying this, An Qingge's expression changed, and she sighed, "I'm not trying to put pressure on you, but I've been thinking about things a lot lately, and I just can't control myself..."
Zhang Lin's expression also became slightly more serious at this moment.
He suddenly realized that he was no longer alone.
In particular, his child will be born in a few months.
The adults are alright; even though there are many women, they can manage to survive anywhere.
But children...
Without a stable growing environment, it's questionable whether they can even grow to adulthood.
His previous idea of running away if he couldn't win seemed a bit too simplistic.
Of course, if you really can't win, you'll run away. After all, if staying means certain death, it's better to forget about the children and let the adults survive first.
but……
After An Qingge said that, Zhang Lin really became more concerned about the beast tide.
It was just a game to me before.
Now, he feels he should get serious...
"I understand the issues you raised, and I will do my best to ensure that Hope City can survive." Zhang Lin pulled An Qingge into his arms, stroking her soft hair with one hand, and whispered to her.
"I believe you." An Qingge leaned against him, and her sense of security gradually returned.
However, An Qingge was still traumatized by the beast tide at the city lord's place. After leaning close to Zhang Lin and whispering to each other for a while, she asked, "How's your relationship with those women going?"
She knew most of Zhang Lin's situation.
This includes the system, and several new targets chosen by Zhang Lin.
She just wanted to know if Zhang Lin could take them down as soon as possible so that they could improve their strength to deal with the beast tide.
An Qingge was also quite helpless about this.
As Zhang Lin's woman, she was the one urging him to quickly win over his other women...
He cheated on himself.
Absolutely amazing!
"Well..."
"I'm working on it!"
Zhang Lin scratched his head. Actually, right now, he only had two targets in Hope City: Jin Sina and Pan Jiaxuan.
Li Shiyun is too young to be counted.
The city lord's score is too low to be counted.
As for Kim Sina, the difficulties are not too great.
After that, with some effort from Pan Jiaxuan, it shouldn't be a big problem, but things are not so easy with Pan Jiaxuan.
Pan Jiaxuan is no pushover; she's a professional at manipulating other people's feelings. How could she willingly bear children for Zhang Lin?
Upon hearing this, An Qingge felt that Zhang Lin's efficiency was too low.
"Now that you're back, and the beast tide hasn't attacked yet, you should focus on getting points. Don't worry about things at home for now."
