Chapter 121: Chapter 95: The Nation’s Showdown, I Can Defend a Nation
WHOOSH!
At Shen Fei’s words, everyone instantly sat up straight. That’s right: Neutral Cities. That was the main focus now.
The top brass from the Qing City Tourism Management Office had all come to the Shen family home. This was, in no small part, because they wanted to hear Shen Fei’s plans regarding the Neutral Cities.
"Alright, since we’re all on the same side here, I’ll start making the arrangements," Shen Fei began, no longer standing on ceremony now that all the key players were present. "Uncle Sun, I need you to coordinate with Yu. Take eight Chariot pieces and go pick people up. Bring everyone on Yu’s list to Nanshan Villa. I’ve already asked my mom to take some people and clean up the empty villas there."
He had already finished inheriting his first game ability. Once he inherited the second game ability tonight, his personal defenses would be massively boosted. Besides, the Neutral Cities were about to descend. Furthermore, according to Huang Yi’s information, the Tourism Management Office was already more or less certain about his situation.
There was no longer any need for secrecy. It was time to act, to make his move out in the open. With the Neutral Cities descending, he wouldn’t be as free as he was during the first week.
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Shen Fei’s instructions, Uncle Sun and Yu immediately nodded. Although Uncle Sun hadn’t inherited all the chess pieces due to his Krypton Gold amount, he had inherited all four of the Chariot pieces. Combined with Father Shen’s four, these eight high-speed Chariot pieces were the transport team Shen Fei had assigned to pick up the Heaven-Reaching Gang members one by one.
That morning, Mrs. Shen had gone to her community work early, partly because Shen Fei had asked for help clearing out space for the Heaven-Reaching Gang members to rest. According to the numbers Yu tallied last night, over eight hundred members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang were willing to move to Qing City. Including their families, the total number was over three thousand people. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
A single Chariot piece could carry six people. By operating eight Chariot pieces at once, they could transport nearly fifty people per trip. Transporting three thousand people would only take fifty or sixty trips. And when the eight Chariot pieces combined, their speed would increase again. Even though the Earth had grown several times larger, as long as there were no setbacks, Uncle Sun could definitely bring everyone over within a dozen or so hours.
Besides, Uncle Sun had Yu with him. Yu had also inherited all his Defense Towers by now. And because of the Neutral Cities situation, he had deployed a support-type Defense Tower that applied luck and movement speed buffs to his father, who was "driving" the "Chariots."
"The one I’m currently targeting is this Neutral City!" While Uncle Sun and Yu quickly went out to gather the people, Shen Fei pulled up an image and showed it to the others. "It should be a small city. Judging by the distance, it’s about 200 kilometers from Qing City!"
Since he had no experience capturing a Neutral City from his past life, he chose the weakest small city as his first target but also planned to bring the people from the Qing City Tourism Management Office along. There’s strength in numbers, and it was always good to have backup in case something went wrong. A lion uses its full strength even to catch a rabbit. In the same vein, he could not afford any mishaps in his bid to seize the Neutral City.
"No problem. You have our full support!" Li Yunlong stated without a second thought.
Soon, everyone had agreed to Shen Fei’s plan. He then posed another question to Li Yunlong. "Do you want me to help you purify your team?"
He had already prepared the Mind Control Tower to purge the "impurities" from his own Heaven-Reaching Gang. He could also help his allies, the Tourism Management Office, deal with their own. It’s not about picking out those with bad personalities, but it’s necessary to at least weed out the spies and traitors. If those people caused trouble behind the scenes at a critical moment during the city’s capture, it would be disastrous.
"Purify the team?" Li Yunlong didn’t understand.
"Uhh... this..." A few seconds later, after listening to Shen Fei’s explanation, everyone was a little horrified.
Mind Control? Direct control at the soul level? They can’t lie after being controlled? Complete obedience? Shen Fei’s ability could help the Tourism Management Office purify its ranks, but the thought still made their scalps tingle with fear. Even Father Shen instinctively took a small step away from Shen Fei.
This ability was a bit terrifying. No one wanted the secrets in their heart to be so easily questioned and exposed. Who didn’t have some dirty little secret they couldn’t let see the light of day?
"Don’t worry, I’ll only ask one question: ’Are you a traitor or a spy?’" Seeing the mix of agreement and horror on their faces, Shen Fei offered a word of reassurance. "I won’t ask anything else."
"Alright then!" Li Yunlong nodded in agreement.
Soon, after arranging for Father Shen, Wang Dapang, and Zhang Qiqiang to return to the Tourism Management Office to assemble the team, Li Yunlong deliberately hung back. When everyone else had left, Shen Fei saw that Li Yunlong still had something to say and nodded, gesturing for his sister and Xiaohong to give them some privacy.
"Hello, Mr. Shen Fei. I am now speaking to you on behalf of the Xia Country’s highest Tourism Management Office!" Now that it was just the two of them, Li Yunlong took a deep breath, his tone turning serious.
"Go ahead," Shen Fei nodded gently.
"Given our relationship, I’ll be direct! Fei, the officials are more or less aware of your situation. Based on the strength of the game abilities you’ve inherited, their comprehensive assessment is that you are the strongest person in Xia Country! I’ve come this time mainly to convey a few points on behalf of the officials.
"First, the officials place great importance on you, especially with the recent frequent monster tides, which continue to highlight the importance of Tower Masters. The attitude I’m here to express is that the government is willing to endorse anything you do, whether it’s killing, seizing treasures, or even declaring war on other countries... they will give you their full support!"
