In front of the city lord's mansion in Linhai City.
Old Wang's eyes reddened as he looked at the plaque hanging high above the gate.
Since leaving Jizhou, they not only have to constantly evade the pursuit of zombies, but also have to guard against others coming to steal their food.
In the end, they even started eating other people.
In just a few days, they experienced so much.
The gates of the city lord's mansion slowly opened, and a middle-aged scholar frowned slightly as he looked at their disheveled appearance. "May I ask who you gentlemen are...?"
"Brother Wen, I am Wang Da from Jizhou."
Wang Da knew that with his filthy appearance, if he didn't introduce himself, even his own mother might not recognize him if she jumped out of her coffin.
The scholar bowed to Wang Dadao and said, "So it's Brother Wang. Please come in."
He then stepped aside to make way for her and gestured for her to proceed.
Wang Dayi and his family followed the scholar into the city lord's mansion. After exchanging pleasantries, the scholar finally spoke, "Brother Wang, have you come from afar? Is there any important matter you wish to discuss?"
Old Wang sighed and said, "We would like to see the city lord."
A hint of displeasure flashed in the scholar's eyes; he had some acquaintance with Wang Da.
At times like this, he gives them face and lets them in, intending for them to owe him a favor.
They also knew that he was loyal to Peng San.
As a result, upon entering, without asking any questions, they were immediately asked to see the city lord.
If the current city lord were not Peng San, what choices would they make?
The scholar laughed twice and said, "Brother Wang must have brought us some big news. I'll have someone inform him right away."
With the city lord confirmed to be safe and sound, Wang Da and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there is someone in charge in Linhai City, their task is half accomplished.
He believed that no intelligent person in the world would give up such a good opportunity.
The scholar led the group to the reception hall. Peng San, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up as soon as he saw them arrive and said with a smile, "I never thought I would get to meet you in my lifetime."
In the apocalypse, too many people have died.
Even a chance encounter with someone you know can spark a lot of emotions.
Looking at the young man before him, Old Wang couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that Old Wang's judgment was indeed excellent.
Peng San indeed became the city lord.
"This old man greets the city lord." With that, he bowed deeply.
Peng San quickly helped the man up, smiling as he said, "Old sir, there's no need for such politeness." Then, he looked at the scholar and said, "Hurry up and serve the old man some tea."
As for things like washing up and settling in, not a single word was mentioned.
In the apocalypse, no one is truly a fool.
Wang's wife held her child, looking at them coldly without saying a word.
Some people are just asking for death, and there's no stopping them.
When the tea was served, Old Wang took a small sip before saying, "I have come here today to discuss important matters with the city lord."
His gaze swept over the scholar, who inwardly chuckled coldly.
Do they really think they're someone important?
After the apocalypse, there were countless famous figures who sought refuge with the city lord, and they didn't need him.
Peng San chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone here is one of us, so please speak frankly, sir."
Seeing this, Old Wang knew not to say anything more, and only asked, "His Majesty wants to attack Jizhou. I wonder what the city lord thinks?"
Peng San took a sip of tea before looking at Old Wang and the others, "Sir, are you from Jizhou?"
How did you learn that Xiao Lin was planning to attack Jizhou after coming from Jizhou?
You must have gotten the news from Shang Tian, right?
What an ingrate!
