Chapter 259: All Recruited
Lu Yuan stopped moving forward and suddenly realized that his current appearance was not... unfriendly.
On the side of the Tree of Life, a carnivorous plant grew, speaking in human language.
"My friends, don't be afraid... I am the commander-in-chief of Sky City, Lu Yuan. I am now inside this tree, seriously injured and recuperating. This tree is under my control and is my...battle pet."
"You all saw it. The main culprit has been eliminated and Painted Skin is dead, but the Mandala Empire is now empty and most of the population has died. It will be difficult to restore its former glory."
"I wonder what plans you have for the future?"
The crowd hid behind the rocks and looked at it quietly.
The eldest brother of the Guo family said quickly: "Both of us brothers are innate grandmasters, and we possess seven martial arts. We are willing to go to the Sky City and obey the command of the commander-in-chief, even if we can just be ordinary people..."
“We just want to live a stable life.”
The others also responded.
"The Mandala Empire no longer exists...it can never be rebuilt."
"It is the law of nature that the later dynasties will replace the previous ones. We will obey the arrangements of the commander-in-chief!"
"Commander Lu!" A man who looked like a general cupped his hands and reported, "The royal family has accumulated wealth over the years and has a lot of wealth hidden underground."
"I know the locations of several treasure troves, and I am willing to lead the commander-in-chief to clear out these treasures..."
But for them, joining the Sky City is indeed the most ideal outcome.
After all, we are all human beings, we share a common language, and we can find a wife here.
Am I really going to live alone in the ruins of an empire for the rest of my life?
Impossible.
Those who have survived to this day are all smart people. They have realized something and started to demonstrate their own united front value.
The faster you surrender, the higher your value!
The Guo brothers boasted, "Great Commander, we, the Guo brothers, are proficient in acupuncture guidance techniques, which can make the practice faster! This is the Guo family's unique secret book, which has never been passed on to others!"
"I am proficient in medical treatment! Reattaching a severed limb is no problem."
"I am proficient in the art of forging... I have forged extraordinary items!"
Lu Yuan was speechless. Why did it feel like you were just running dogs?
He coughed heavily: "Ahem... We'll talk about these things later. How many survivors are there in total?"
Everyone did a count.
There are eighty-nine people standing here, plus a small number of family members hiding in the cellar.
"Maybe more than a hundred people, no more than two hundred."
If this group of experts joined under normal circumstances, they would definitely cause big trouble.
The pursuit of power is human nature.
In the Sky City, the strongest beings besides Lu Yuan are only three level four king insects, and they may not be able to defeat them.
The next best thing was Captain Shakaner, who was only a level three fighter and was even less likely to win.
Among this group of people, there is even a super master of level six!
If the strength is not equal, wouldn't it be easy for something to go wrong? !
But after this battle, everyone became obedient and submissive.
Are you kidding? Who would dare to act rashly in front of a terrifying creature that has been killed with Painted Skin?
No matter who you are, I can kill you with one punch! Lu Yuan figured this out and said slowly, "Bring your relatives out and take them back together."
"Let me be frank with you. Obey our laws and regulations! Do not act rashly. Violators will be expelled from the city!"
The crowd responded.
Those who had family members picked them up, and then lined up and marched towards the Sky City in a mighty procession! …
…
One day later, the team of more than 200 people, plus a big tree, finally returned to the sky city.
There was also a brutal war here.
A large number of monster corpses were lying in disarray by the lake.
Almost all men, women, young and old were cleaning up the battlefield - after all, this clear lake water was for drinking, and it would not be a good thing if it was contaminated by corpses and caused plague.
Even the Zerg warriors' bottomless appetites were full, and they lay on the ground, resting lazily.
When people heard the rumbling footsteps, they looked up involuntarily and looked at the Tree of Life. They saw the old cat on the Tree of Life and the group of people following behind it.
"Mr. Cat!"
"Hey, thank you all for your hard work." The old cat jumped back to the ground.
"Are they survivors of the Empire?" People saw the people wearing Imperial costumes following behind and began to discuss.
"There are actually still people alive, they are all masters..."
"Alas... Such a big country, but there are only so few people."
When I think about myself again, I feel really lucky to be still alive.
Lu Yuan's voice came from the big tree: "The main culprit has been killed, and the war is over."
"These are the survivors of the Mandala Empire, all human."
"Sha Sanli, you receive them and let them know the way of life in Sky City. These are the five brothers of the Jin family, and these two are the brothers of the Guo family. They have helped in the war."
Sha Sanli was stunned for a moment.
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
The portraits of several of the innate grand masters had spread far and wide and were famous throughout the country, so naturally he had seen them!
As a result, I was so excited to see a living person this time!
However, these grand masters all turned pale and behaved like cats, saying “no, no” with a shameless face.
I don’t know what happened in between.
"I must have confidence!" Sha Sanli muttered a few words to himself in his heart and went forward.
…
“As a scientific and technological civilization, we must treat science with a scientific attitude, pursue truth with the spirit of truth, adhere to the overall leadership of the Supreme Leader without wavering, and keep pace with the times, so that we can control our own destiny.”
"Another thing to note is that idealistic science is science as long as it can be replicated, understand? Through scientific research, we gradually reveal the mysteries of nature and apply scientific knowledge to improve our lives and promote social progress."
Sha Sanli is really good at talking. He can talk a lot without stopping for even a second.
The people behind fainted.
What are you talking about? Is it a tongue twister? He first took everyone to visit the great poppy tree. When they saw this huge thing, everyone was quite shocked.
We also had the opportunity to experience the "Green Paradise" (educational version).
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Finally, I took everyone to visit supermarkets, power stations, smart farms, etc.
This is really completely different from the Empire.
"Humph... So what if you are strong? Aren't you still just like a country bumpkin?"
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Sha Sanli's confidence surged, and he said with a smile, "If you all have military merits, the following arrangements will be much easier."
"For meritorious officials, we have corresponding policies and will provide larger living rooms and a one-time allowance."
"But subsidies are just subsidies. If you want to find a job, you have to pass the exam."
The five brothers of the Jin family and the two brothers of the Guo family looked at each other.
The five brothers of the Jin family saved some babies, and the two brothers of the Guo family threw a few smoke bombs. Can this be considered an achievement?
Should... count? "What exam?"
"Of course it's a Chinese language test. You don't think you can work if you can't even speak, do you?"
Sha Sanli's words choked everyone.
…
…
You don’t have to worry too much about cleaning up the battlefield afterwards.
Since Lu Yuan had lost his human body, it was troublesome for him to show up, so the old cat took charge of the next work.
It sent people to temporarily move the babies down from the "Sky Fortress". Most of these children were hungry, their tears had dried up, and they couldn't even cry.
It won't be a long-term solution to appease the giant bug called "Sky Fortress".
There are so many poor little babies, the oldest of whom is only one year old, which makes everyone very worried.
That number is more than 50,000.
The original 18th civilization of mankind only had 10,000 people! How to raise children is a big problem.
The old cat was in a real headache and scratched his neck for the first time in a long time: "Hey, let's feed the baby first, and then send it to the flower bud to sleep."
"Mothers who have breast milk should try to spare some breast milk, and we can give some subsidies."
"Take over the Mandala Empire's legacy as soon as possible, especially livestock like cows. There should be some left. Find a way to bring them over quickly."
"I'll send someone right away!"
"The nuclear radiation range is 20 kilometers, pick cows outside the range!"
"Okay!" Several soldiers drove the "Sky Fortress" to look for cows.
"The corpses of those monsters will be used to feed a few logistical bugs first."
"Leviathan and Mammoth, send them out to chew the grass. Don't mess around here."
At the urging of several king insects, Leviathan and Mammoth left the Sky City. Their steps were a little heavy and their expressions seemed a little resentful.
When they were fighting, they were little sweeties, but now that the war is over, they have turned into Mrs. Cow again.
They came to the valley where the royal tombs were located.
In just one day, under the influence of Painted Skin's blood, many mutated weeds have grown out.
Nuclear radiation does not have much impact on them. After all, the structure of this kind of insect is somewhat similar to that of silicon-based organisms, and they can even eat nuclear fuel as food.
So they happily began to chew the grass.
…
The old cat had endless energy and a clever mind. He arranged all the big and small things in an orderly manner, and the whole society soon got up and running.
It can be seen that the public response is very positive! Young mothers continue to provide milk. Soldiers and workers run around, each with their own tasks.
"I found a patch of grass, let's cut some and bring it back."
"The power grid in the east has suffered heavy damage. Restore power and communications as soon as possible."
"We caught some fish, so we can have some extra food."
"The casualties are counted... 38 dead, 189 slightly injured, and about 72 seriously injured, some with broken arms, legs, etc."
The war did bring a small number of casualties, but for people who were used to seeing life and death, such a small number of casualties solved a huge crisis. It was simply a great fortune and can be described as grateful!
They have a strong sense of belonging to this land and this city.
