“Does Sky City possess military capabilities that forcing them to establish bases there and decipher the intentions of those in power?”

“But if that’s the case, why hasn’t Sky City unified the world?”

The Sky City was too remote, beyond his current understanding.

He knew that once his power reached the standard of the major conglomerates, he would naturally learn more.

However, he did glean considerable information about city-building.

There were mainly two requirements: first, sufficient military strength to be recognized by surrounding cities.

Second, a special chemical material used in city walls construction.

This material, commonly known as ‘Boundary Stone,’ seemed to be repulsive to mutant beasts, causing them to retreat.

It was essential for building cities in the wilderness but appeared to be rare and expensive.

Fortunately, with Fang Yue E’s support, it didn’t seem difficult for Chu Yue Yue to obtain Boundary Stones.

After conversing with Xu Jia Lu, Zhao Yu’s initial worries gradually subsided.

His biggest concern was attracting the attention of major powers.

Now, it seemed he had overthought it.

These conglomerates rarely paid attention to the wilderness, focusing on other areas. For instance, the Reed Group concentrated on developing advanced gene elixirs for human evolution.

Another example was the Re Zhao Corporation, dedicated to researching life extension, such as parasitic aliens and similar species.

Compared to these, trading with wilderness cities was secondary, and they seldom interacted with these cities.

The Reed Group was well-known because their gene elixirs required test subjects, leading them to establish bases in many cities; otherwise, it was rare to see them in average cities.

“It seems true; besides the Reed Group, other major conglomerates rarely have a presence in cities…”

Zhao Yu thought it over carefully and indeed hadn’t heard of other conglomerates establishing bases in cities.

To ensure that the wilderness wars wouldn’t draw the attention of major powers, Zhao Yu even deliberately provoked Xu Jia Lu.

From the information he obtained, there had been a massive battle involving a hundred cities half a year ago, with intense fighting, yet no major conglomerate had participated. Only a few traded weapons and equipment for money.

“The existence of Sky City seems to restrain these conglomerates, preventing them from participating in wilderness wars…”

“This means as long as I don’t use excessively powerful weapons, like planes, fighter jets, or missiles, no one will notice me…”

Zhao Yu stroked his chin, thinking this was good news. He could now fully commit to his efforts.

Not using these weapons in war didn’t mean he wouldn’t build them. He could always create more secret bases to store these high-end weapons for future use.

Zhao Yu’s plan was to first secure his position in Zhao Family Fortress, then gradually expand and absorb the surrounding cities one by one.

Rather than just dominating one area, he was more curious about uncovering the secrets behind this world.

For instance, how the apocalypse actually began, what unspeakable secrets lay between the major conglomerates, and what Sky City was all about.

With this information, Zhao Yu knew how to approach Chu Yue Yue.

Soon after.

“Xu Jia Lu, will you ever stop?!” Chu Yue Yue’s impatient voice came through the phone.

“It’s me!” Zhao Yu chuckled lightly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

After a pause, she hesitated, “Is that you, Zhao Yu?”

“Yes!”

Chu Yue Yue seemed shocked, “You’ve joined forces with Xu Jia Lu?”

She hadn’t expected to be speaking with him again.

It brought back memories of their time together.

That period had been her happiest and most carefree days.

Regrettably, his intentions weren’t pure; he had approached her to advance his career.

Back then, when Fang Yue E gathered the three women and revealed Zhao Yu’s philandering.

She was furious and wanted to tear Zhao Yu apart.

But after calming down, she came to admire him.

Considering him a nobody from an early age, he had planned meticulously and ruthlessly pursued success.

She continued to follow his progress.

She learned that he had climbed to billionaire status through his earlier efforts.

However, out of respect for Fang Yue E, she didn’t dare to contact Zhao Yu privately.

Truth be told, she didn’t detest Zhao Yu; in fact, she valued him, seeing him as someone similar to herself.

But she hadn’t reached the point of using relationships for career advancement.

“No, Xu Jia Lu just sent over a phone and scolded me…” Zhao Yu laughed, speaking as if conversing with an old friend.

Chu Yue Yue chuckled, “That’s typical of her, always obsessed with romance…”

She didn’t expect to be chatting so casually with Zhao Yu at such a crucial time.

But they were no longer the young people they once were.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“I have something!”

Zhao Yu coughed and said, “I’ve established Zhao Family Fortress, have you heard about it?”

“I heard before that you defeated the Han family, wiping out seven or eight hundred of their men, and even sheltered the ones who killed the Han family’s eldest son…”

Chu Yueyue laughed, “I didn’t know Zhao Family Fortress was yours until that crazy woman Xu Jialu called me, asking if I was supporting you behind the scenes. That’s when I realized it was you….”
