Even more strangely, the soldiers seemed to have also keenly sensed Li Yu's gaze. They then turned around in unison, quickened their pace, and hurried away in the exact opposite direction, their backs showing a hint of panic...
Li Yu frowned, her doubts deepening.
He led Huang Shasha back, his sharp gaze sweeping across their surroundings.
Li Yu was surprised to find that not only the patrol teams on the streets of Kangcheng, but even the guards standing on the high city walls in the distance, had been replaced with familiar faces.
It was vaguely visible that standing beside the giant cannons were actually the sentries of his 7th Regiment!
The security forces in Kangcheng seemed to have all been replaced by the Seventh Regiment overnight.
"What's going on?" Li Yu's eyes widened, somewhat bewildered.
What exactly happened in Cannes while he was away?!
Li Yu quickened her pace and bumped into another patrol team.
However, when the patrolling soldiers of the Seventh Regiment saw that it was Li Yu, their faces turned deathly pale, as if they had seen a tiger.
The patrolling men did not stop; instead, they lowered their heads even further.
The patrol captain, who was leading the patrol, looked away, pretended not to see anything, quickly lowered his head, waved his hand sharply, and turned to leave with his team, their steps as fast as if they were fleeing some kind of flood or ferocious beast!
"Stop!" Li Yu couldn't help but shout, trying to step forward and ask for clarification.
To everyone's surprise, the patrol team didn't dare to stop after hearing this, and fled in panic as if they had been given a death warrant!
Being fast is like having done something wrong and being afraid of being caught.
Seeing that the other person was about to run away, Li Yu had no choice but to raise her voice and shout again:
"I am Li Yu!!"
His shout had the effect of a thunderclap!
The soldiers ran even faster, like rabbits being chased, and some even slipped and almost fell.
In the blink of an eye, they turned into the alley next door without looking back and disappeared without a trace, as if staying for even a second longer would bring disaster.
Li Yu stood frozen in place, staring at the empty alleyway, her face filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Even Huang Shasha, who had always been accompanied by her ghost brother and was shy and didn't talk to strangers, realized something at this moment. She raised her pale face and whispered timidly:
"Brother Li Yu...they seem particularly afraid of you."
Li Yu: "......"
An indescribable sense of absurdity filled his heart, and he was completely unaware of the cold raindrops piercing through his energy and hitting his face.
When Li Yu returned to the city streets with a face full of doubt, she could hear the loudspeaker-like propaganda echoing through Kangcheng Street from afar.
"There is hope for the future, and the city lord remembers it in his heart!"
"The people of Kangcheng are not worried; life is sweet under the city lord's leadership..."
"The Seventh Regiment has arrived to ensure peace; may the City Lord protect the city for ten thousand years!"
The slogans were uniform and carried a frenzied rhythm that was almost brainwashing.
Following the noisy sound, Li Yu squinted in disbelief at the scene before her.
He was surprised to see Zhao Deyang's daughter, Zhao Yue, excitedly following a propaganda team, shouting slogans loudly.
The previously sensitive and taciturn Zhao Yue now seemed like a completely different person! She stood at the very front of a propaganda team.
Moreover, it seems that Zhao Yue really enjoys this 'job'.
Zhao Yue, who was waving her fists and shouting without thinking, suddenly froze because she could feel Li Yu's presence and incredulous gaze.
Zhao Yue's voice stopped abruptly, and she immediately sat down embarrassedly, shrinking back into the crowd of the propaganda team. She pretended not to see Li Yu and looked around, her acting skills clumsy.
However, before Li Yu could step forward, his appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding residents.
The residents immediately recognized the legendary hero of Zhongzhou, Li Yu.
That is, the "new masters" who have taken over Kangcheng, as mentioned in the propaganda team's slogan just now.
After a brief silence, someone in the crowd pointed at Li Yu and let out a sharp gasp:
"Li Yu!"
"It's City Lord Li Yu!"
"It really is him!"
Then more and more residents poured out, all looking at Li Yu with equally excited expressions:
"It's Lord Li Yucheng back!"
"Very good!"
A cheer erupted from the crowd, a mixture of awe, flattery, and immense surprise.
Under the influence of the propaganda team's supernatural brainwashing and seduction, the residents have completely accepted Li Yu as their new city lord.
They never expected to see the new city lord so soon.
Suddenly, the propaganda team not far away shouted:
"Long live the city lord!"
The soldiers of the seven regiments around them seemed to have received some kind of signal and immediately joined in the deafening roar.
Residents lined the streets to welcome them, chanting in unison the slogans of the Seventh Regiment:
"Long live the city lord!"
"Long live the City Lord!!"
Li Yu: "???"
Who is the city lord? Me?
"Brother Li is the city lord of Kangcheng!?" Even the naive and timid Huang Shasha was stunned.
A wave of cheers swept over them, completely engulfing Li Yu and Huang Shasha.
Standing in the center of a sea of cheers, looking at the faces around him that were excited to the point of frenzy, and feeling the deafening title of city lord, Li Yu even felt a sense of unreality.
He's back.
But Kangcheng seemed to have undergone a tremendous change in the short night he was gone, becoming so unfamiliar.
But he inexplicably became the "new city lord" of this city.
Amid the chaos, Li Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Just then, a dark figure rushed in from the periphery of the crowd like lightning!
