After entering the city, the soldier in charge of leading the way found a few people to set up a tent for the two of them. Pu Yunchuan found that these people were indeed very enthusiastic about the newcomers from the outside, as if they had met their fellow countrymen at a construction siteā¦
The tent area was very crowded, densely packed. There were probably tens of thousands of tents at a glance, and Pu Yunchuan noticed that the soldiers living here more or less had some signs of mutation⦠ā¦
After the two of them settled down at night, the soldier who led the way in the morning brought them some food and hot water. His attitude was obviously different from those normal residents who looked at them from afarā¦
After the soldier left, Pu Yunchuan frowned and asked, āWhatās going on?ā
Isabelle narrowed her eyes, picked up the cereal cake in the basin and looked at it carefully, then sniffed it⦠ā¦
Pu Yunchuan took a bite and nodded. āItās quite fragrant. Although it looks ugly, itās not bad. It tastes better than the rice cake we sellā¦ā
āItās poisonousā¦āIsabelle said softly.
āUghā¦āPu Yunchuan froze and spat a few times. āWhy didnāt you tell me earlier?ā
Isabelle: āItās a heavy metal poison. Itās very light in weight. It Wonāt affect your body too much if you eat it once in a whileā¦ā
Pu Yunchuan:āā¦ā
āI was wondering why that guy was so enthusiastic and solicitous for no reason. As expected, heās either a traitor or a thiefā¦āPu Yunchuan immediately said in an angry tone.
āIt shouldnāt be that soldier who poisoned itā¦ā. Isabelle shook her head. āItās obvious that this poison was transferred by a professional alchemist. When I passed by just now, I saw many soldiers eating it. If Iām not wrong, this poison should be targeted at these soldiers.ā . . ā¦ā
āAgainst soldiers? Why?āPu Yunchuan Leng Leng Leng Leng Way.
āFear, of courseā¦āIsabel smiled. āWeāre lucky. A few more days and we wouldnāt have had such a good thingā¦ā
āER⦠. . Is It?āPu Yunchuan Leng Leng Leng Leng, the heart is completely stupefied, secret way: what is she saying in the end? Poisoned. Why Good? Whoās Afraid? Why do I feel like I canāt keep up? Is that the difference between a field marshal and a hacky sack programmer?
Um⦠. No! . She canāt see⦠. .
Thinking of this Pu Yunchuan a serious face nodded: āI think so tooā¦ā
āāāā
āLord Mayor, two more people came todayā¦āin the Lordās mansion, the administrative secretary reported todayās new developments to the Lord, who was calculating his house with the Finance Minister.
āThere are still survivors at this time?āThe castellan was a little surprised. Almost all the seven cities in the northwest had been destroyed. Luxi City, which had been resisting for the longest time, had already been breached two months ago. The refugees who could escape had long arrived. After all, in the environment outside, it was obviously a bit exaggerated to say that there were people who could survive outside for two monthsā¦
āHave you checked? Who are they?āThe castellan asked with a serious tone.
āI donāt know. They were wearing cloaks and were welcomed to the quarantine zone by the mutants the moment they entered the cityā¦ā
āMind your words, Chekov!āThe castellan interrupted him seriously, āThose are not mutants, they are our compatriots. Even now, they are still protecting the city. The fourth zone is also a temporary residential zone, not a quarantine zone. If I hear you say that again, you donāt have to work here anymore!ā
The secretaryās expression changed when he heard that, and he quickly lowered his head to apologize⦠ā¦
āThen how are we going to distribute the supplies later?āThe Finance Minister asked carefully.
City Lord Mike knocked on the table and said in a low voice, āWe canāt reduce the supplies for the soldiers on the outer perimeter. They are the current barrier of Gondolin. We must defend against the most dangerous mutated creatures. We canāt wear thin belts. Otherwise, it will lower the morale of the people. We will first reduce the supplies of the residents by one-fifthā¦ā. āā¦ā
āBut thatās not enoughā¦āthe finance minister frowned and said.
āThe soldiers of the inner circle and the guards of the city Lordās mansion will be reduced by one-thirdā¦āMike continued.
āThisā¦āthe finance minister was stunned and said, āItās not very good, right?ā
āThereās no other wayā¦āmike sighed, āFor the sake of the overall situation, we can only let them suffer. As for the situation, I will gather them and explain it to them personally. I believe they will understand⦠just do as you are toldā¦ā
The finance minister nodded when he heard Mikeās words. A complicated expression immediately appeared on his face. Meanwhile, the secretary who had spoken rudely to the surrounding soldiers just now had her head lowered. Her eyes were shining with an inexplicable lightā¦
āāāāā ā
āDid the city lord really say that?āAn hour later, in a dark basement, a few mutated generals sat in front of a brazier. They looked at the person who was reporting the news in astonishment.
And the person who reported the news was actually the secretary and Finance Minister of the Castellanās mansion⦠ā¦
āI didnāt expect Mike to do thatā¦āthe finance minister sighed slightly.
The few generals looked at each other when they heard that. One of them looked very tall, with thick black hair growing all over his body. He looked like a wild man and said in a muffled voice, āWhat do we say now?ā
āTake a look firstā¦āin the middle, the middle-aged general who was covered in white scales sighed and said, āWe gathered the mutated soldiers just to protect ourselves. It would be best if we could live in peace. After all⦠. And we donāt want our hands full of the blood of our people⦠. .ā
āBut those people donāt think of us as fellow countrymen anymore!āSaid a black-scaled general on the far left in a sullen tone.
āAlright⦠Thatās it for today! !āThe white scale general glared at the other party, stopping him from continuing to provoke everyoneās hostility.
The black scale generalās face sank slightly, but in the end, he did not continue to speak. This white scale general was called Wesker, and he was once a lieutenant general. He had the strength of a peak silver-tier. Now that he had mutated, it was very likely that he had already stepped into the gold-tier. Not to mention him, the few people present might not even be able to fight him together. Moreover, his prestige in the military was very high. Many people were more convinced of him. Even if he could not stand this conservative approach of his, it would not be good for him to openly oppose it⦠ā¦
āIāll have to trouble all of you to make a tripā¦āthe white-scaled general said gently to the Finance Minister.
The finance minister nodded but did not say anything. Although the other party tried to speak very gently, he still felt as if he was facing a ferocious beast-like oppression. It had to be said that there was a reason why the residents disliked these mutated people. If it wasnāt for the fact that his grandson was injured and mutated, he wouldnāt have gone over to the mutant sideā¦
He was slightly relieved to hear that the other side had no intention of using blood, and he didnāt want to see the worst of it if he could!
āāā- ā
At the same time, a few people did not think that, in the castellan mansion dark basement, but is happening and castellan said the content is extremely inconsistent with the cruel incident!
The dark basement had been turned into a temporary secret laboratory. The laboratory was filled with all kinds of human organs and many dismembered soldiersācorpses.
Many dismembered soldiers were still twitching and their faces were filled with hatred. They were still alive⦠ā¦
āWhatās the result of the examination? Mr. Marlin!āCity Lord Mike immediately went to the basement after sending off the finance minister, he looked at the dismembered soldiers with a cold expression. There was no fluctuation in his expression. It was obvious that he knew about the cruel scene around him. It was hard to imagine that ten minutes ago⦠He had a righteous expression on his face as he fought for the benefits of the peripheral soldiersā¦
If Pu Yunchuan were here, he would definitely exclaim: as expected⦠. . The upper-class people were all excellent actors. ā¦
