"Okay, why are you crying? It's not that serious. It's only been a while since we last met."
Li Ziyu pulled Zhang Peng away and looked him up and down. Zhang Peng had lost a lot of weight and his dark circles were darker, as if he had painted his eyeshadow with soot from the bottom of a cooking pot. He was slightly hunched over, as if he had been bent over by the burden of life.
The crying wasn't fake. Zhang Peng wiped the tears from his eyes, took a deep breath, and then spoke, "Boss, it's been two years. Two whole years. We've been trying to contact you, but we couldn't. When we sent a message, it said it couldn't be received, and there was even a red exclamation mark. We all thought we'd never see you again."
Li Ziyu blinked, looking a little surprised, and then showed a look of sudden realization. When he was looking for the Castle of the Undead before, Meng Ni had mentioned that they had arrived in that world five years ago. It seemed that the speed of time was different. He felt that a few months had passed, but two years had passed in the main world.
No wonder the other party missed me. Two years passed in a flash. No one saw me alive or dead. No news could be sent out. There was no news at all. And I was still their biggest backer.
Li Ziyu patted Zhang Peng on the shoulder. "Peng, you may not believe this, but time has been messed up since I was exiled. For me, I've only been away for three months, but it felt like two years to you. How have you and Xingxing been doing these past two years?"
Talking about his life over the past two years, Zhang Peng's face was filled with sadness. "Boss, it's been hard. It's so hard."
Li Ziyu was bewildered, a puzzled look on his face. "You've already upgraded to the castle, right? You should be able to catch up with the main force. You're not weak anymore."
Zhang Peng shook his head and said bitterly, "Boss, a lot of things have happened. The brothers haven't had a good time in the past two years."
Li Ziyu pulled Zhang Peng towards the castle and said to him as they walked, "Come on, go in and tell him. I'm back now. I want to see what's going on."
When we arrived at the castle, we met Bepta and Damenlevsky, who were old acquaintances. After exchanging greetings, we all went to the reception room together.
After the host and guest took their seats, Zhang Peng talked about what happened after Li Ziyu was exiled.
Two years ago, the Medes were defeated in a battle. Before leaving, Anduin launched a surprise attack and exiled Li Ziyu. The grassland was leaderless and in chaos for a while, but fortunately, Li Ziyu had been steady and cautious before, and the grassland's basic foundation was stable. With the maintenance of Zhang Peng and Batubuhe, the grassland stabilized again and returned to normal.
After experiencing a series of changes, the Orc Empire was in tatters and had difficulty in holding on. The White Tiger Queen Astasia Oriana surrendered on behalf of the Orc Empire to Zhang Peng and Batubuhe, who represented the wasteland travelers, and was officially incorporated into the forces under Li Ziyu. So far, the two areas that Li Ziyu had experienced, the wasteland and the grassland, were complete.
With the wasteland and grassland, Zhang Peng can start his business. In terms of business acumen, Zhang Peng is still very good. After integrating the resources of the two regions, he conducted a series of business exchanges. Because Li Ziyu left, the resources flowed into the hands of Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing.
Zhang Peng knew very well that there would be a price to pay for eating alone, so he brought in the Wasteland Travelers Alliance and distributed the benefits so that everyone could reap the benefits and help the members of the Wasteland Travelers Alliance grow. In this way, he gained the support of Batubuhe, Aya, Temur and others.
With Zhang Peng's support, a group of travelers in the Wasteland Traveler Alliance, including Aorigele, were promoted to the Castle level one after another, and Liu Xingxing and Zhang Peng were also promoted to the Castle level.
At that time, the Wasteland Travelers Alliance had more than ten castle-level travelers, and they were in the limelight and full of vigor. This was all due to the small number of people in the Wasteland Travelers Alliance, plus the usual accumulation and support from Zhang Peng.
Although their group is small and seems insignificant in front of many large forces, the fact that they have more than ten castle-level traversers is enough to make them the leader in high-end combat power.
When he said this, Li Ziyu showed a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that there would be such changes after he left. More than a dozen castle-level travelers are indeed very powerful.
Because of their different races, the combat effectiveness between castle-level traversers varies greatly. Liu Xingxing and Zhang Peng are both castle-level traversers, but even if they are tied together, they are no match for Li Ziyu. This is an obvious example.
But a castle-level traverser is still castle-level. No matter how weak he is, his level is there, and his combat power cannot be underestimated.
I have to say that the Wasteland Travelers Alliance has developed quite well.
In addition to more than ten castle-level traversers, they also have a large number of fortress-level traversers, and many of them are not far from the castle level. As long as they have time to accumulate enough resources, they can enter the castle level at any time.
The development momentum of the Wasteland Travelers Alliance is encouraging.
But when people have strength, they are unwilling to be lonely. The members of the Wasteland Travelers Alliance have benefited from the basic territory. They feel that if they can occupy a few more pieces of land, they will develop even faster. So they began to look for ways to leave the grassland and go to other areas, just like they did from the wasteland to the grassland.
Batubuhe did not stop them. He felt that this was a good thing, and he also had a sense of urgency. Compared with other members, Le Tian still remembered that he had a feud with the Life Empire Alliance. Even though they didn't come to kill him now, they might remember it one day. They had killed a big shot of theirs.
Perhaps the Life Empire is gathering strength at this moment, preparing to give them a big blow.
