"Welcome, heroes who are willing to sacrifice for the new Elidu! Please come in!"
The men, dressed in suits, bowed respectfully to each visitor who stepped into the tent.
Upon hearing that someone intended to return to New Elidu to plunder supplies, the city's top leadership immediately took the matter very seriously. They not only set aside a tent as a meeting room, but also arranged for several troops to guard the perimeter of the tent, preventing any unauthorized personnel from approaching.
The Sixth Division of the Air Defense Office, Victoria Housekeeping, the Sheriff's Office, Rabbit House, White Heavy Industries, and the son of Caluton, the current leader of the Outer Ring, took their seats one after another.
Everyone sat around a round table, with a virtual image projector placed in the center.
Seeing that everyone was in place, Yuecheng Liu nodded slightly and then distributed the documents in her hand to everyone.
Everyone took the documents into their hands.
Caesar and Bernice didn't move an inch, waiting for others to finish reading and then summarize.
Without hesitation, Eileen pushed the work to Fagga, then rested her head on Fagga's shoulder and closed her eyes to relax. Fagga smiled indulgently, patted Eileen's hair before pulling his hand back, pinching Ies's ear on his lap while flipping through the documents on the table.
It's a compilation of currently scarce resources, and a list of locations within the city where these resources might be available.
Kreta and Anton scratched their heads, finding the document utterly overwhelming.
Surprisingly, things were a bit more normal at the Rabbit House. Even the playful Neko temporarily calmed down and helped Nico with her sketches and notes.
Meanwhile, the police station seemed to be living a life of leisure. Zhu Yuan carefully poured Qingyi a cup of tea. Qingyi picked it up, took a sip, glanced at a document in her hand, and then immediately switched to a health-preserving mode, waiting for someone to host the meeting and take charge of everything.
Time passed by, and what I was supposed to read, I had already read; what I didn't want to read, I hadn't read a single word of.
Yuecheng Liu secretly considered the time, and when she saw that it was almost time, she gently raised her delicate hand and tapped the table.
The crisp sound immediately attracted everyone present, and they all looked up.
Yuecheng Liu coughed, glanced around, and said in a gentle voice, "I have a general understanding of everyone's composition. It seems that apart from our Sixth Division of the Sky, not all of the other groups are present."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked around and saw that it was indeed as Yuecheng Liu had said.
Only two people from Victoria's Housekeeping team came: Fagga and Ellen.
The Public Security Bureau only had Zhu Yuan and Qingyi.
Only Nicole and Nekomaru came to the Rabbit House.
Both Bai Zhi Heavy Industry and the son of Kaludon have their nominal bosses and a randomly selected lucky follower.
"I'm sorry, as you all know, the situation in the outer ring is complicated these days, and with more people comes more conflict. In order to maintain order, all the sheriffs are on duty, and the sheriff's bureau can only spare the two of us, me and my senior."
Zhu Yuan looked slightly apologetic as she stood up and bowed to apologize to everyone.
Yuecheng Liu was startled and immediately stood up to smooth things over.
"Hey! It's okay! That's what our Lucy said too!"
Before Yuecheng Liu could even speak, Caesar, the nominal leader and son of Calydon, who was sitting opposite the police station, burst into laughter out of the blue and picked up the water on the table, drinking it down like it was wine.
“Our Lucy is so busy she’s practically going crazy. She even dragged Papa and Wright into it. Then she patted me and Bernice on the shoulder and said earnestly, ‘Hey Caesar, don’t get involved in the outer ring matters. Go have some fun in the city!’ Hey, she actually believes me!”
Well....
Faga couldn't help but smirk, quickly covering his face with his hand, afraid that he might burst out laughing.
Even if the police department does its best, it can only squeeze out two people.
And you two... I'm afraid Lucy has rejected you, hasn't she?
Fagar shook his head, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed his expression. With a slight smile, he said softly, "Our Corinne will also stay with the Son of Caludon to help."
"As for Mr. Lecarne and Miss Lina, they went to help Mr. Hols with his work."
"Yes, the same goes for me."
Kreida looked sullen, put her legs on the chair, gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "That damned old man! He was clearly not dead but he kept it from me for so many years."
"Hmph! Considering he still has things to do, I'll only beat him up for thirty minutes this time, and then I'll have Ben and Grace take care of him! Let's see if he dares to hide it from me next time!"
They only beat him for thirty minutes...
Everyone present twitched their lips, exchanged smiles, and awkwardly wiped the sweat from their brows, thinking to themselves: What a grand display of filial piety!
Of course, not everyone has such a strange expression.
At least Nicole didn't think that Kreta did anything particularly wrong.
She was just a little surprised and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, so the old man I met on the street yesterday who smelled of alcohol and was wrapped in bandages was your father, Kleida?"
Kleda turned her head at the sound and glanced at Nicole: "What's wrong?"
“Oh, I think this guy is suspicious. We were all on the street when Billy was suddenly grabbed by that old man, who said he wanted Billy to cooperate with his research.” Nicole waved her hand and gave a brief explanation.
Faga suddenly sensed something was wrong and asked alertly, "And then what happened?"
