Zhang Lin chose the City Lord's Mansion as his work location not to spite the City Lord, but mainly because the things he needed to do later were all in this area.
One aspect is to give the city lord a heads-up beforehand so that she can be mentally prepared.
On the other hand, he hadn't been back for a long time and needed to inspect the rat nests on the back hill.
"how are things?"
Zhang Lin opened his arms to his little maid, who smiled and ran to his embrace.
Her petite and lovely body pressed against his.
"The rats' nest is very stable in Hope City, and no one dares to bother us. Many ratmen died during the high-temperature period, but now they have begun to reproduce. At their reproduction rate, it won't be long before their population grows to thousands!"
"My brother and I together can only control a few hundred ratmen at most. The rest can be slaughtered to obtain extraordinary materials and demon cores."
Yang Wenting leaned against Zhang Lin's chest, softly describing the situation at the rat's nest.
distance.
Yang Wenhao, accompanied by several rat-men, rushed over. Upon seeing this scene, his expression immediately turned blank, and he turned and left.
He controlled few ratmen, so Yang Wenting had him patrol with a few of the stronger ratmen to prevent any from escaping.
Yang Wenting, on the other hand, controls all the remaining ratmen.
As soon as Zhang Lin and the city lord arrived, she noticed them and rushed over.
Yang Wenhao didn't have that ability. When he saw his sister suddenly run out, he thought something urgent had happened, but what he saw was this scene...
He felt deeply saddened. Before, he had fantasized that his sister was just scared out of her wits by Zhang Lin and might not actually like him...
But now it seems...
Judging from his sister's attitude towards Zhang Lin, Yang Wenhao couldn't even guarantee whether his sister would side with him or Zhang Lin if something really happened.
So he left dejectedly.
Zhang Lin, with his high perception attribute, naturally noticed Yang Wenhao. Seeing him leave, he didn't say anything, but instead turned his attention to the sweet little maid in his arms.
Although they are siblings...
However, the positions of his brother and sister in his heart were worlds apart.
"How's the house I had someone build for you coming along? Take me to see it." Zhang Lin hugged her for a while, then let go of her and asked softly.
Yang Wenting blushed.
What do you mean by looking at houses?
How could she not understand Zhang Lin's underlying meaning?
Of course, she didn't resist; on the contrary, she was looking forward to it.
With so many people in Zhang Lin's backyard, it's not easy for her to get a turn.
"Master, come with me."
Yang Wenting held Zhang Lin's hand and walked along a mountain path for a while. Soon they arrived at a flat area halfway up the mountain, where a small courtyard with a very nice appearance had been built.
She and her brother Yang Wenhao now live here.
The two entered the courtyard and went straight up to the second floor.
Yang Wenting's bedroom is on the second floor.
At this point, no one mentioned looking at houses.
A short while later.
A pleasant sound rang out from the small courtyard.
Time passed second by second.
Until nightfall.
Zhang Lin left the small courtyard behind the mountain.
Yang Wenting wanted to get up and see him off, but she simply couldn't stand up and had no choice but to stay in bed to rest. This was the result of Zhang Lin using the Yin-Yang Magic Ring on her.
Since he rarely came to visit, Yang Wenting pulled out all the stops, hoping to please Zhang Lin and make him want to stay longer so he would come back often...
She succeeded.
After leaving the back mountain, Zhang Lin made up his mind.
The back mountain is very important; we must come and inspect it frequently.
...
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
As more and more people gathered in Hope City, people from Chengdu and even surrounding counties and cities flocked to Hope City and set up camp nearby.
The city lord rejected the requests of these settlements to join Hope City, but did not restrict them from trading within Hope City.
The city lord collects taxes on every transaction; it's a very lucrative business.
Meanwhile, people in Hope City and other major settlements are also seizing the time to go out and find resources, and to improve their strength before the beast tide arrives.
As time went on, most of the survivors from the settlements gathered near Hope City. The city lord could no longer wait and immediately summoned all the leaders of the settlements, as well as some powerful independent players, to convene the Hope City Alliance Conference.
A beast tide is not something that one person or one force can face.
The wise course of action is to unite all human forces to fight this together.
With so many people, including many experts, how to command and manage them is a problem, so a meeting must be held to solve it.
Early October.
The temperature dropped slightly and it was no longer hot.
Inside the largest conference room of the city lord's mansion.
It was bustling with activity, with hundreds of people sitting there.
The city lord, dressed in white robes, sat at the head of the table, with Zhang Lin and Xia Xiaonuan sitting to her left and right, respectively. Below them sat the remaining ten captains of Hope City.
After that, there were the leaders of the various gathering places and some powerful individual players.
"The reason we've gathered everyone here is to discuss how to deal with the beast tide."
The city lord spoke first.
To others, she was extremely mysterious. No one knew whether she was male or female, her age, or even her true appearance. Moreover, her voice was altered.
However, she had led humanity in resisting supernatural beings on numerous occasions, and the leaders of the settlements and powerful individuals present had all awakened memories of the city lord to varying degrees and witnessed her mysterious strength.
It could be said that among everyone present, perhaps only Zhang Lin showed no respect for her and even wanted to taste the robot.
Apart from him, everyone, including Xia Xiaonuan, held the city lord in high esteem.
"Lord City Lord, just like before, you lead us all and that's it!"
"Yes, we'll listen to you."
"I submit to no one but the city lord!"
"..."
A group of people were talking all at once.
The meanings are all consistent.
That means making the city lord the leader of the alliance.
The main reason is that everyone understands her; she has no selfish motives and will never have any. As the leader, everyone respects her and doesn't worry about being betrayed by her own kind during battles.
But the city lord was unwilling to become the leader of the alliance.
She has reincarnated countless times, and has led humanity in the fight against the apocalypse through countless words.
If she could end the apocalypse, she would have done it long ago.
Therefore, given the choice, the city lord would rather be a guide behind the scenes and relinquish the position of leader of the human alliance.
In the past, she had tried countless candidates, and all of them had failed.
But this life is different.
She met Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin was the most promising person she had ever met, and the only one whose strength could catch up with hers in the early days of the New Era.
In the city lord's heart, Zhang Lin was the savior of mankind.
Now is the time to bring Zhang Lin forward!
