The guards behind Qin Yi, who had been watching Chi Ju and his group, were the first to notice Huang Zhao's sudden appearance and respectfully called out:
"City Lord!"
Huang Zhao nodded slightly to the guards, then turned to look at the red-haired man who was staring at him in shock.
It was indeed Chiju, but his face looked more youthful than Chen Run remembered.
When Chen Run first met the other party, Chiju was already a level six ability user.
If it weren't for the fact that the level 7 mutants were too powerful and difficult to find at the time, Red Steed might have already broken through to level 7.
As the leader of a powerful survivor settlement, Chiju was full of vigor and exuded the demeanor of a strongman in every gesture.
At this moment, Huang Zhao perceived that the other party was only a level three ability user.
His supernatural abilities were even less powerful than Qin Yi's, and he hadn't been at his breakthrough for very long.
As for the survivors behind him, their strength was even more pathetic. Although most of them had broken through to level two, there were still some who were still at level one.
With that kind of strength, they're not here to cause trouble, are they?
Huang Zhao stared at the red horse and asked in a deep voice:
"Did you contact me?"
Seeing Huang Zhao suddenly appear, Chiju swallowed hard, even though he couldn't sense Huang Zhao's specific strength.
However, this elusive ability was enough to frighten him.
Teleportation? Spatial abilities?
Is this the city lord of Dawn City? Just how powerful must he be?
Although he was having second thoughts, Akago still forced himself to continue and said:
"Yes, my name is Chiju, and I am the leader of the Chiyang settlement."
"According to survivors who attended the Dawn City banquet, Dawn City is very powerful. I have come to pay my respects and hope to reach a cooperation agreement."
As Akago spoke, he suddenly felt as if he were reporting to his superior.
Chiju was shocked by Huang Zhao's entrance and looked somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
He then said, "I've heard that the City Lord of Dawn City is incredibly powerful. Would you be willing to offer some guidance?"
Having already lost some ground in terms of momentum, Chiju could only think of regaining his strength.
Space-based abilities do offer high mobility, but at lower levels, they generally lack powerful offensive capabilities.
Red Horse was quite confident in his abilities.
Upon hearing Chiju's words, Huang Zhao remained silent, but the guards behind him could no longer contain themselves.
How dare they speak disrespectfully to their city lord, whom they revere like a god!
"Who do you think you are, daring to challenge our city lord!"
"Lord of the city, let me teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"
“...”
The guards have also begun contacting other stewards within the city to come.
The guards rushed forward and surrounded Chiju and his party, their spears pointing at each other.
Huang Zhao looked at the guards around him, his heart was not at peace.
This is the Dawn City he built, and the survivors he saved!
People are actively working to protect Dawn City and his image, and their emotions are running high.
Huang Zhao's troops were directed against their enemies.
Huang Zhao raised his hand to stop the guards from taking any further action, and looked at Chiju with a calm expression.
As if he had incurred the wrath of the masses, Chiju felt a little apprehensive.
A strong curiosity arose in his heart about Huang Zhaosheng. He could clearly see that the actions of the guards of Dawn City did not seem like a show.
He was genuinely angry at his offense against the Lord of Dawn City.
Does the Lord of Dawn City possess such great personal charisma? What exactly did he do?
Chiju stared intently at Huang Zhao and said in a deep voice:
"As the lord of a city, surely you don't even have this much courage?"
Huang Zhao smiled outwardly, inwardly admiring the other party's mental fortitude.
In his mental perception, he could clearly sense that Akoma's heart was racing and his body was trembling almost imperceptibly, but he still appeared calm and composed.
Should we take direct action to suppress them?
With Chen Run's current strength as a level four ability user, killing Chi Ju would be a piece of cake, but Huang Zhao had no intention of killing him.
However, it's not easy to subdue someone without killing them.
The main problem was the explosive effect of the opponent's fire-based ability; Huang Zhao couldn't guarantee he would be unharmed.
Besides, it would be beneath me to personally engage in combat with the opponent.
In his mental perception, the appearance of a suitable target stirred Huang Zhao's heart.
The mental connection was forcibly established, causing the other party to rush towards the south city wall.
After a moment's thought, Huang Zhao said casually:
"If I were to make a move, it would be bullying a child. Let our squad leader from Dawn City, who is out on a mission, have a match with you."
As Huang Zhao was speaking, a dump truck was approaching from the further south.
In Dawn City, dump trucks have almost become standard equipment for hunting teams when they go out on missions.
Not only can it crush zombies at will, but it can also easily transport twenty or thirty people, or other supplies that have been found.
After simple modifications by a metal-type ability user, he could practically roam freely within a ten-kilometer radius of Dawn City in areas without a large number of zombies.
However, the number of dump trucks within a ten-kilometer radius is clearly insufficient to meet the needs of hundreds of hunting teams.
Therefore, Brother Jie had already included the dump trucks in the assets of Shuguang City a long time ago.
They've even included finding dump trucks in their resource recycling list, and the recycling points are quite substantial.
Therefore, only the top-ranked hunting teams are eligible to use it.
The members of the approaching hunting team were the Yu siblings, whom Huang Zhao had brought back from Shaoguan City.
In just three days, the hunting team grew and expanded under the leadership of the eccentric young man, Yu Yinyang.
Not only did he rank among the top in the number of zombies he hunted, but he also focused on gaining points, which his teammates could also accumulate by following him.
What's more, there's another equally strong and beautiful girl in the team, his older sister Yu Wanqiu.
Every time I return to the city, many members of Dawn City want to join me.
This has led to a constant turnover of personnel in his team, which is now at the level of Level 3 for all members.
On the way, Yu Yinyang received a message from Huang Zhao, asking him to fight a fire-type ability user.
Defeating Huang Zhao will reward him with 1500 points, which is roughly equivalent to the points of a level 3 energy crystal.
This is about all the points he earned after a whole day of work.
Moreover, fighting other superhumans was a condition he couldn't refuse.
After the apocalypse arrived and he awakened his supernatural abilities, he developed an unusual thirst for battle.
Unfortunately, almost none of the strange beasts or other survivors he encountered were his match.
He even managed to kill a level-three mutated beast.
Their actual combat strength ranks among the top in Dawn City's survivors.
Although he owes Dawn City a lot of points, he absorbs level three or higher crystal energy every day.
He is currently working towards becoming a member of the elite hunting team, which will allow him to gain the qualification to absorb level four crystal energy.
After being armed by Dawn City, Yu Yinyang's strength improved further, and he became even more fearless.
