Zhong Gaoyi's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He took off his mask, patted Zhuang Wan and said:
"He's out of danger, but he's not awake yet. I need to rest for a while before going back in."
Everyone felt relieved when they heard this.
Pei Dong let out a long sigh and said:
"I'll leave Zining in your care for the time being. I have to go back, so I'll leave first.
The casualties caused by the fall of the floating area were very heavy.
Guan Zining at least managed to keep his life, but most people were almost completely destroyed.
Su Tao grabbed her and said after hesitating for a moment:
"I may have a way to help you, but I don't know if you can accept it."
Indeed, this idea had been buried in her mind for quite a long time. If she had not seen Guan Zining almost lose his life with her own eyes today, she might have hesitated for a long time before saying it out loud.
Pei Dong's heart almost stopped when he heard this: "What's the solution?"
Su Tao pursed her lips and said, "Actually, I can manage the land of Dongyang like Taoyang, build city walls, and build infrastructure in a short period of time, but the prerequisite is to have enough crystal cores."
Pei Dong's pupils constricted.
Su Tao was afraid that she would not believe it, so she asked:
"Haven't you noticed that Taoyang has grown a lot bigger than it was six months ago? As long as there are enough crystal cores, Taoyang can directly encompass Dongyang."
Pei Dong's breathing was blocked.
She knew that Taoyang was slowly expanding, as evidenced by the two large office buildings that had recently appeared and the ever-expanding plantations.
But she never imagined that Taoyang could take over Dongyang.
Su Tao sighed and said:
"Sister Pei, you should understand why I brought this up only now. After all, Dongyang is the old leader's twenty years of hard work. It's also the place you have protected with your blood and flesh. It's the result of the joint efforts of many people. If it is taken over by Taoyang..."
Then it’s up to Su Tao to decide Dongyang.
Moreover, with so many managers in Dongyang, how many of them would like to have another leader above them?
And this leader has absolute control and management authority.
Unless it was someone close to her like Pei Dong and Shi Zijin, who would trust her and accept her?
Don't let there be any chaos or internal strife.
Pei Dong certainly understood, and she fell silent for a long time.
Su Tao glanced at the clinic again, took a deep breath and said:
"Taoyang will build a protective shield by the end of this month that will completely eliminate threats from the sky. By then, even the Bone Wings won't be able to do anything to Taoyang."
Pei Dong was shocked.
If Dongyang can do it, why bother building a city wall?
"I will bring this up with the old chief first."
Guan Zining didn't wake up until the next night.
Although he was awake, only his eyeballs could move. When he saw Su Tao in a daze, he pulled the corner of his mouth.
He fainted again just after he finished pulling it.
Su Tao was scared to death and didn't dare to touch her: "Isn't she out of danger?"
Zhong Gaoyi, who hadn't slept all night, said with all his strength:
"She's fine. She fell asleep. She was badly injured. She had six broken bones and a huge hole in her stomach. Fortunately, she's a psychic with good physical fitness, otherwise she would have died long ago."
Su Tao was terrified when she heard this.
Zhuang Wan felt sorry for her boyfriend, so she wiped his sweat and urged him:
"Go back and rest first, hurry up."
Zhong Gaoyi suddenly felt not so tired anymore.
Lei Xing, who was standing by, saw this scene and suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He asked:
"When are you getting married?"
Zhuang Wanbai told him: "It must be earlier than you."
Lei Xing felt depressed.
Zhong Gaoyi instantly perked up.
Su Tao drove them all away and left Chenxi to stay with her in the clinic to take care of Guan Zining for one night.
After dawn, Guan Zining still showed no signs of waking up. Su Tao couldn't hold on any longer, so she switched shifts with Zhuang Wan, went back and fell asleep immediately, and slept until four or five in the afternoon when she woke up from hunger.
She was about to go to the clinic when she heard Ma Dapao calling on the communicator.
Who knew that after the call was connected, it was a woman's cold voice:
"Su Tao, you must have set up Lian Sha as bait!"
Su Tao's heart was filled with alarm, and she asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Where is Ma Dapao?"
"You used Liansha as bait, colluded with Baotu to betray us and captured Brother Yong. Who do you think I am?"
Qu Jingwen!
Su Tao's face darkened.
Yesterday morning, Ma Dapao greeted her and said that he was going to talk to Qu Jingwen to see if he could persuade her to surrender with her people.
But Guan Zining's condition was too dangerous at the time, and Su Tao couldn't spare the energy to think about other things, so she nodded and agreed to let him go.
Could it be that he was caught on the way there?
really,
Qu Jingwen put the communicator close to the mouth of Ma Dapao who was tied up.
Ma Dapao had his mouth blocked and could only make whimpering sounds. His struggling movements attracted two people nearby to punch and kick him.
Su Tao immediately recognized his painful groan, and immediately her blood boiled, and she warned:
"Would you try to move him again?"
After saying that, she called up Tao Chi's management interface and set it to prohibit the use of superpowers within the territory.
Then another thirty cameras were purchased and installed in various places in Taochi.
Finally, they checked the surveillance footage and found Ma Dapao tied up in an abandoned express delivery transfer station in less than five minutes.
She could clearly see Qu Jingwen talking on the communicator next to her.
Qu Jingwen sneered:
"I have the man in my hands, and you still dare to threaten me? Su Tao, I'll give you two days to exchange Ma Dapao for Tan Yong. If you don't agree, or if the time limit is exceeded, I will kill him!"
Su Tao narrowed her eyes and asked, "Didn't Ma Dapao tell you why he came to see you?"
Qu Jingwen sneered:
"We captured him right after he left Panliu Mountain, so he naturally didn't have a chance to speak. But I don't care what you want to discuss with me. I only have one condition: hand over Tan Yong."
Su Tao calmly called up Tao Chi's map on the system and clicked "Teleport".
In the blink of an eye, I arrived at the door of the abandoned transfer station.
There are people on duty in the distance.
But their eyes were all on the outside, so they never thought that someone would appear inside out of nowhere.
Su Tao swaggered up the stairs. Just as she was about to go in, the communicator picked up other people's voices:
"Jingwen, it's better to exchange for supplies than for Boss Tan. Let's not talk about the disheartening things Brother Yong has done in recent years. Let's talk about the recent ones. There are zombie wars everywhere now. Supplies are the most important thing!"
"Old Wei is right. Anyone can be the boss now, but without supplies, it won't work! I agree with exchanging supplies!"
"I also agree with exchanging supplies. Brother Yong has been bewitched by that woman and has gone mad. It's not a good thing for him to come back."
Qu Jingwen remained unmoved and said firmly:
"No, Brother Yong must be replaced!"
Then someone said sarcastically:
"You'll be heartbroken without Brother Yong, but we won't."
"Boss Tan may not want you to replace him. Maybe the female boss of Panliu Mountain is more attractive, hahaha."
Qu Jingwen said angrily:
"Aside from Mi Wu who was captured, you all are so eager to kick someone when he's down. Are you worthy of Brother Yong? If you're unwilling to save him today, the next time you fall into the enemy's hands, no one will save you!"
Someone muttered:
"Even though you're the most loyal, it doesn't mean Boss Tan cares about you that much. If you were Misty, Boss Tan wouldn't save you either. He'd rather you die out there so he can live happily with his new love."
These words pierced Qu Jingwen's heart, and her voice trembled:
"I don't need you to understand me, but today, I have to trade Ma Dapao for Brother Yong. I captured him, so I have the final say on how to use him!"
Suddenly someone interrupted loudly:
"Quiet!"
"Don't you think our voices echo? They're like double channels, as if they're right outside the door."
“There’s someone outside!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into silence.
After a while, some of the older ones frowned and said:
"It's impossible that there is anyone. This is our territory. Who dares to come in?"
"Yes, and there are people guarding it. If anyone comes in, they will notify us immediately."
".But, if you listen carefully, there is still a sound."
Qu Jingwen alertly drew his gun and pointed it at the door: "Who's outside?!"
The others also took a defensive stance, tensing their bodies and looking towards the door.
"Old Wei, use X-ray vision to take a look." Qu Jingwen ordered.
Wei Xiang concentrated his energy, closed his eyes, and activated his supernatural powers.
But soon, he found something wrong.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see through the door like he normally could.
Sweat broke out on his head instantly, and his hands and feet became weak.
Qu Jingwen frowned: "What are you dawdling for? What's going on outside?"
Wei Xiang was tongue-tied: "My ability seems to be useless."
