Chen Hai sometimes wonders if he's being too nervous.
After all, even the officials of Zhongzhou did not believe that any force could bypass all other cities and reach the heart of Zhongzhou to launch an attack on the sparsely populated Kangcheng.
But Chen Hai knew that Kangcheng had a fatal weakness—people!
Kangcheng is short of people, otherwise it wouldn't be called a ghost town.
Because there are too few people in the city who can participate in the battle, even though Kangcheng itself has a large number of powerful defensive weapons, these require a lot of manpower to operate, and due to the lack of manpower, their lethality is extremely limited.
In addition, not long ago, the Central State government also incorporated the only fully-equipped elite force in Kangcheng into the Central State Legion to fight on the border, which greatly reduced the number of combat personnel in Kangcheng.
In Chen Hai's eyes, Kangcheng today is like a paralyzed giant, possessing terrifying fangs but powerless to throw a punch.
Chen Hai shook his head, hoping his worries were unnecessary.
Thinking of this, Chen Hai glanced at Li Yu with a hint of curiosity.
He couldn't understand why, given Li Yu's reputation and strength, he hadn't participated in the expansion of the Central Plains Legion, nor had he sought merit and resources, but instead led a team to Kangcheng.
Li Yu ignored Chen Hai's gaze and his complex inner thoughts.
After entering the city, he began to observe constantly, his gaze sweeping back and forth.
He wasn't evaluating; he was searching.
Li Yu was searching for the "hint" that Li Yang hadn't clearly explained, and also for the elusive opportunity that the monk Jing Shi had mentioned.
It's as if everyone was leading him to the ghost town, and now he's come here himself!
Just as Li Yu was observing, a chill suddenly swept in from a certain direction deep within Kangcheng. In addition to the fresh and dampness of the rain, there was also a faint chill in the air.
Unlike the cold of air and rain, it was a chilling cold that could penetrate the body and pierce the soul, giving one a feeling of coldness down one's spine.
Li Yu's gaze involuntarily followed the direction from which the chill was coming.
Chen Hai also noticed Li Yu's gaze, and his heart trembled violently:
'This Li Yu is indeed extraordinary; he's only just arrived in Kangcheng and he's already discovered the area where the "paranormal" phenomena are most frequent.'
Thinking of that area, Chen Hai's facial muscles twitched involuntarily.
That was not only a fear that was hard to shake off in his heart, but also the biggest hidden danger in the entire Kangcheng since its construction.
As the acting city lord, Chen Hai had long wanted to completely eliminate that area, but there were simply too many wandering ghosts there. Some of the more powerful ghosts even possessed special abilities that allowed them to conceal themselves, making it difficult for even him to detect them.
After numerous attempts, even the powerful mental awakeners sent by Jin Cheng were unable to resolve the strange situation there, leading to the failure of several large-scale purge plans.
Li Yu withdrew his gaze. The feeling coming from that direction was indeed strange. Although there was no danger, the air was cold, which showed that there were definitely a lot of ghosts gathered there.
"It seems I really came to the right place."
A slight smile suddenly appeared on Li Yu's lips, and a rare hint of anticipation crossed her face.
The cold resentment that filled the air was so similar to the ghost that Luo Fei had transformed into!
A strong intuition told him that this was the opportunity that the monk Jingshi had mentioned.
Seeing Li Yu's confident demeanor, Chen Hai felt a sliver of unrealistic hope. Could it be that Li Yu had a way to solve the problem?
Although Chen Hai had high hopes for Li Yu, his years of experience with failures made him immediately calm down.
After all, this strange area has existed for many years, so there's no rush.
Chen Hai took the initiative to speak first: "Commander Li, I wonder if we need to rest for a while? I can prepare some food for everyone first, and then we can find a place to rest."
"No need," Li Yu interrupted Chen Hai's polite remarks.
He also wanted to break through the LV20 limit as soon as possible, otherwise his only advantage would become smaller and smaller when facing those top experts in Zhongzhou.
Although the overall power of bows and arrows is now very strong, he did not believe that a general from Zhongzhou could be easily killed by him with a single arrow.
Hearing Li Yu's decisive refusal, Chen Hai was slightly taken aback, but then he decided to go all out, since he had to resolve the issue sooner or later.
He pointed directly to the area deep within Kangcheng shrouded in white mist, and began to explain it to Li Yu, his voice tinged with bitterness and heaviness:
"Cannes Monument"
"That was originally a monument erected when Cannes was built to commemorate the glory of all the sponsors and the workers who contributed their efforts."
"Unexpectedly, it ended up becoming a forbidden zone, the source of the thick fog, and a place where yin energy raged."
"Sigh." Chen Hai sighed.
Upon hearing this, Li Yu's eyes flashed, and she replied, "Take me to see."
"Okay." Chen Hai gritted his teeth. He also liked being so direct, so he simply led Li Yu straight to the monument area.
If Li Yu can truly solve this long-standing problem in Kangcheng, not only will Kangcheng be reborn, but he will also benefit immensely.
Before long, a towering monument standing in the distance came into view, its tall tip breaking through the white mist and becoming clearly visible.
The closer you get, the stronger the chilling aura becomes; the air feels like thick, icy water.
Many people are starting to feel cold and want to wear thick clothes to keep warm.
Just as everyone reached the edge of the white mist, Chen Hai's men behind him all turned pale and stopped in their tracks, looking into the white mist with fear.
They knew all too well that taking another step forward would cause problems.
