When Xia Xiaonuan saw the city lord again, it was several days later. It was a meeting, and the participants were all high-ranking officials of Hope City.
In addition to the original team leaders, Li Xinyue, who recently joined the team, was also among them.
Having regained his physical body, the city lord finally discarded his loose white robe and mask, openly displaying his beautiful appearance to everyone.
At first, everyone was somewhat surprised to see a young girl walk up and sit down in the city lord's seat.
The girl had a pretty face, fair skin, and a slender figure. She also looked quite young, so no one would be surprised to hear that she was a student.
How dare such a young girl sit in the position of city lord?
Everyone looked at Zhang Lin, only to find that he remained calm and showed no sign of distress. It was then that everyone realized what was going on.
Oh, so this is the true face of the city lord.
She wasn't the mysterious and unfathomable big shot everyone imagined; her true identity was just a very pretty young girl.
Xia Xiaonuan wasn't very surprised by the city lord's true appearance. She had seen what the city lord looked like when he only had half a face left. After seeing the city lord now, she was slightly taken aback, but she recognized him.
She was happy that her friend had regained her physical body, but then she saw a hint of lust in the city lord's beautiful eyes.
Several days had passed since the city lord bound herself and came to Zhang Lin's room. Perhaps because of the city lord's status, Zhang Lin always had a different feeling when he was with her.
So these past few days, he's liked to go to the city lord's room whenever he has free time.
The city lord's obsession with restoring his physical body is definitely not just for the sake of having some good food.
She was a nineteen-year-old girl, at the age when she was just beginning to experience love, but suddenly she was turned into a robot and lost love and certain abilities for thousands of years. Naturally, she was very depressed.
Having just regained her physical body, she didn't even have time to find a man she liked to date before Zhang Lin snatched her up...
She verbally refused Zhang Lin's constant visits to her room, but her actions betrayed her. After a moment of feigned reluctance, she would obediently comply with his advances.
She spent almost half of the last few days with Zhang Lin.
So much so that the spring-like look in his eyes was very strong, and Xia Xiaonuan could tell at a glance.
"The city lord has regained his physical body?"
"She found a man right after regaining her physical body?"
"Holy crap! Could it be Zhang Lin?"
Several thoughts suddenly popped into her mind.
Xia Xiaonuan had anticipated this possibility.
But Zhang Lin's speed still surprised her.
"That bastard!!"
Xia Xiaonuan clenched her fist, but then immediately loosened it.
She had already said she wouldn't interfere.
And there's nothing we can do about it.
She couldn't leave Zhang Lin either; she had no other choice but to accept this path.
Xia Xiaonuan has a very strong personality.
But it is only with Zhang Lin that principles are frequently abandoned.
"Cough cough..."
The city lord coughed lightly at this moment. She had called everyone here for a meeting, but when they saw her, they were stunned…
Everyone snapped out of their daze and immediately sat up straight, waiting for the city lord to speak.
After all this time, the city lord still has some prestige.
"There are some things I should tell you. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. Humanity could be wiped out at any time. You should be prepared for this."
The city lord summoned everyone here for this very reason.
Although on the surface it seems that most people can't help with this.
But ultimately, there is strength in numbers.
After discussing it on the same bed, the city lord and Zhang Lin decided to tell the higher-ups of Hope City about the divine threat that humanity was facing.
The reason I didn't tell everyone was because I was afraid that if too many people knew, it would cause a riot.
The top executives should know first.
Then it is slowly passed down to the lower levels, so as not to rashly cause a huge upheaval.
In fact, Zhang Lin and the city lord were right.
Even these high-ranking officials, seasoned by countless battles and with unwavering resolve, immediately panicked after hearing the city lord's words.
The crowd whispered among themselves.
They were unfamiliar with the things the city lord was talking about.
Most people are not strong enough to live long enough for the gods to appear, so they naturally don't know about the gods' existence.
They thought that after defeating the beast tide, humanity could survive as before, and that the days to come would be a slow tug-of-war with various supernatural creatures, until humanity fully adapted to the apocalypse.
But who could have imagined that the peaceful life everyone had envisioned, where "although it's a bit dangerous, we can still survive," was gone, and a god many times more powerful than the beast tide was ready to annihilate humanity at any moment.
Humanity's only trump cards are Zhang Lin's quota for slaying gods and the nuclear bomb that the city lord painstakingly preserved.
I only have these two cards in my hand, how am I supposed to play them?
...
...
The realm of gods.
This is a void, divided by white mist into areas of varying sizes, each containing different buildings and decorations.
These spaces are the territories of the gods.
Even the lowest-ranking gods, whose names are merely numbered, possess tens of thousands of hectares of territory, rich in resources and possessing everything imaginable.
Among them is an exceptionally large area, comparable in size to a medium-sized country on Earth. Most of this area is filled with various landscapes, and if viewed from above, these beautiful scenes are 100% replicas of landscapes on Earth.
Moreover, most of them are from the China region.
At the heart of the area lies a vast, luxurious, and exquisite architectural complex.
With its red walls, golden glazed tiles, grand halls, flying eaves and brackets, and carved dragons and phoenixes, it looks just like an ancient Chinese imperial palace.
This area belongs to a great figure in the realm of gods.
Meanwhile, the important man was talking to his daughter.
"In this life, he probably won't make the same choice as before, right?"
The speaker was the owner of this area, a stunningly beautiful lady dressed in gorgeous clothes and with an elegant demeanor, and beside her was a girl who looked to be about ten years old.
“He has so many human wives, and his own child is about to be born. I think that once his child is born, we can return everything to him.”
The little girl wore a simple dress, her hair was tied in a small ponytail, and she had no decorations on her body. She spoke in a very mature way, not at all like a little girl.
"Well, let's wait for his child to be born then."
The woman nodded, then looked at a mirror in the room.
The girl looked over as well.
The mirror didn't show two beautiful women, one tall and one short, but rather a scene from the real world: a conference room where a group of people were looking flustered and whispering among themselves.
But there was only one man sitting to the side, his face calm, seemingly not worried at all.
After a few days of rest, my sleep has improved a lot. I'll update a little today and then gradually finish the ending of this book.
