It has been three days since the beast tide ended.
According to news and online reports, reconstruction has begun in the northern part of Linglong City, with 85% of the area destroyed by the beast tide.
There were approximately 39,000 civilian deaths, and about 10,000 missing persons whose numbers have not yet been counted. The entire Linglong City has a population of only 600,000 to 700,000.
Two thousand seven hundred and fifty-five soldiers sacrificed their lives for it, and more than five hundred spiritual warriors also died.
Thanks to Chen Zhong's later driving, otherwise the spirit beasts would have continued to wreak havoc in the city for a long time. The death of the black-winged sky snake also prevented the beast tide from continuing to advance to other urban areas.
Even so, for the Chiyan Empire, which has been at peace for many years, it is tantamount to national grief!
For this reason, the empire held a special mourning service, lowered the flag to half-mast, and designated the day the beast tide entered the city as the ninth day of mourning. All heroes who sacrificed their lives were posthumously awarded merits, their names were engraved on the hero monument, and their families enjoyed lifelong benefits.
Not only that, a prince from the imperial capital also made a special trip to express his condolences to the disaster area. The emperor issued a special decree to exempt the citizens of Linglong City from taxes for one year and distributed a large amount of supplies.
In the world rebuilt from the wasteland, the Scarlet Flame Empire still maintains these traditional customs and will never disappoint anyone who is loyal to the empire.
Compared with the cold and terrifying upper class of the Divine Empire, the capital entanglements and the rivalry between dukes in the White Tower Federation, the Red Flame Empire is considered the most humane society.
Although the imperial system was retained (after all, the country was conquered by the Yu family, and they could do whatever they wanted), the operating model was still fair and free, and everyone had the opportunity to climb to the top.
Linglong City is being rebuilt and the Linglong Mountains are also being replanned.
On the night when the beast tide escaped, the Linglong Mountain Scenic Area was not spared. Many tourists sleeping in the hotel were directly buried and many old buildings were destroyed.
The scenic area is closed for one year for repairs.
In the devastated back mountain, the number of spirit beasts was reduced by half due to the willfulness of the Dark Holy Sky Beast. Some were injured, some died, and almost all of them hid back in their nests, not daring to show up.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the guards advanced, reducing the range of the spirit beasts' activities to one-third of their original size, and then built stronger and more complete fortifications.
As for the Tianyan Academy...it can be said to be intact.
Apart from the flowers and plants on the periphery being a little bald, there was not much damage, but many old people still lost their lives in the mountains.
On the path of cultivation, life and death are determined by fate, which is normal.
"Why is Chen Zhong missing again so early in the morning?" Wang Taiping knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response, so he had to go to have breakfast alone.
Ask him why he didn't look for Zhou Chaoyin.
Zhou Chaoyin also did not come home last night.
Ask why Zhou Chaoyin is not here.
Tang Sui also did not return to the girls' dormitory all night.
If you ask them why they both stayed out all night at the same time...sleeping is not as fun as exercising.
Look, under Wang Taiping's jealous gaze, the two walked out of the college's "gym" (hotel) hand in hand, one with a lively and rosy face, the other looking refreshed.
"Oh my God!" Wang Taiping couldn't help but miss his own product warehouse. Only there could he get a little human warmth.
…
Linglong Mountains.
Our Master Chen is doing something sneaky.
This sneaky thing is also called "picking up treasures" or "storing grain."
You know, after the beast tide, the corpses of the spiritual beasts left in the mountains are all treasures.
Spirit cores, limbs, leather armor, bones...all of them are rare refining materials.
Of course, there is also the storage magic weapon that Chen Zhong pays special attention to!
Since you are already dead, why not give me the things you left behind? I will help you to spend the things you were reluctant to part with when you were alive.
If you are in heaven, you would feel relieved, right?
"It can be considered a good deed, right?"
Chen Zhong carried a small backpack filled with storage spiritual tools.
The kind that doesn't make a sound even if you shake it hard!
Of course, Chen Zhong did something even better, which was to help them cremate and scatter the ashes.
"What happened? Where are all the bodies and bones?"
"Let's go over there and take a look."
Seeing the guards coming, Chen Zhong immediately slipped away.
"This can be considered as helping you to lighten the burden of cleaning up the mess. Let me bear this hard work alone." Chen Zhong decided to quit while he was ahead. He left the mountains and took a long detour back to the academy.
Although it is not a big deal, it would not be appropriate if it were exposed to the public. After all, I am the head of a family, and it would be a bit embarrassing.
However, as soon as he entered the dormitory, Chen Zhong was stunned.
Cold sweat broke out and his fingertips trembled slightly, but he soon calmed down again.
"Wouldn't it be nice for you two to stay in my dormitory?" Chen Zhong was wary and confused, but also wanted to laugh.
Opposite him were the academy dean Xu Xiaodao and the Tianyan Hall master Ni Hengxiu.
Both of them were disheveled and in a messy state. They were not injured, but they looked extremely pitiful.
No need to think, it was Chen Zhong's fault!
You know, Chen Zhong's dormitory is a den of dragons and tigers. Without his control, it is no exaggeration to say that every step is thrilling.
As for how terrifying it is, just look at the appearance of these two grandmasters.
Xu Xiaodao's eyes changed again and again when he looked at Chen Zhong. He prided himself on being steady and cautious, but in front of Chen Zhong, he seemed far from that.
Ni Hengxiu helplessly pulled off a strand of burnt hair and said, "You kid...are you going to turn the dormitory building into an explosives warehouse?"
"Hehe, just a little precaution." Chen Zhong smiled, and at the same time was glad that Daju was with Jia Shuangshuang, otherwise its devouring secret might be discovered.
"If I hadn't noticed it in time, this room and the people inside would have disappeared from the world. If all these traps were triggered, even those in the Soul Tempering Realm might not be able to withstand it." Ni Hengxiu complained with a bit of amazement.
