"Officials, evolved humans, job transitions … To be honest, I don't care. What I'm really worried about are the ordinary people, the tens of millions of people in this city.
"With Shen City's location and current situation, there are no powerful evolved humans guarding it. Now that Shabak City has become an ordinary city, its future is destined to be destroyed. The officials and ability users might be able to escape, but the ordinary people won't be able to.
"The future Shen City will be filled with rivers of blood. I didn't have the ability to stop the destruction of Luzhou City in the past … Now that I have a way, if I don't do something …" Lin Xi sighed.
Many And Many said worriedly, "It won't be easy for you to take over Shen City. The original power structure of this city is very complicated. Will they let you take over the city and become the city lord? Moreover, those evolved humans and job transitions aren't a small force. Even if they die or escape, there will still be more than a hundred of them left.
"In my eyes, they are no different from dust on the table. If they stop me, I'll just sweep them away. I hope they will be more sensible."
Lin Xi said indifferently, "Paying the heart of the city to protect millions of civilians, this is naturally my territory. It's not that I want to obtain any authority, it's just that I don't wish for others to criticize my own city. As for those people, as long as they contribute to the city, I welcome them. If they cause trouble, I have a way to deal with them. "
"Of course!"
Everyone nodded. There was no one here who was a saint. Even a saint wouldn't be a saint to officials or those in power. Being able to protect a city was already a great act of kindness. Handing the heart of the city over to the government was a foolish decision.
"I will write a notice. Many And Many, take it to Huang Bo later. Ask him to pass the letter to the people in charge of the gathering place. Take it as a form of notification to them … Zhen Tian, go and find out if there are any major incidents in the country. After all, we have been away for quite some time."
"Yes!"
Duoduo and Zhen Tian's attitudes were completely treating Lin Xi as their immediate superior.
Three hours later, Lin Xi sat in the living room of the villa and looked through some of the information Zhen Tian brought back.
"Hmm, during this period of time, the special cities in various places have suffered a lot of attacks?" Lin Xi saw a message. It said that Jin City, which had obtained the Heart of Shushan and turned it into a city in the sky, had been attacked by the water demon beasts controlled by the Reverence Moon Sect Leader. They had suffered great losses, and many floating mountains had been destroyed.
The capital was also attacked by barbarians from the north. It was unknown which game the barbarians were from. Maybe it was "Civilization", maybe it was "Total War", maybe it was "Total War", or maybe it was from another game or movie. The barbarians were easily wiped out.
What made Lin Xi excited was that as the situation of each gathering place was stabilized, the communication between them had increased. Some ordinary evolvers had also learned about the current situation. This piece of paper recorded the special cities that had appeared in the Divine Great Land.
There were originally nine of them, but after losing Lu Zhou City and the legendary Sarbark City and Shen City, there were only seven left.
Dragon City, Imperial City!
City of the Three Kingdoms, Jinling!
The Sky City of Shu Mountain, Jin City!
In addition to these three places that Lin Xi knew, there were four other places that he had never heard of before.
Shen City: Heart of Glory.
Before the doomsday, the mobile game "King of Glory" had become the City of Glory. It had produced three ability systems: Ancient Diabolism, Mechanical Skills, and Confucianism. If it was upgraded in the future, special buildings such as Jixia Academy could be built. It could even summon the Ancient Diabolism Grandmaster Jiang Ziya, the Mechanical Skills Great Sage Mo Zi, and the origin of Confucianism, Confucius.
Chang'an: Heart of Dreams.
Originated from the game "Dream Westward Journey," it was a special city that was born. This was probably the place with the most class advancement systems. At the beginning, there was only Tang Dynasty, but when the city was upgraded, other sects could be born. When the city was upgraded to the highest level, there would be Heavenly Palace, Dragon Palace, and Underworld!
The potential of this city was frighteningly high.
Xiangyang: Heart of Martial Arts.
A special city that gathered the essence of many martial arts TV series, movies, and games. Whether it was the low-level martial arts of "Martial Arts Sect", the mid-level martial arts of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", or the high-level martial arts of "Twin of Brothers", or even the super martial arts of "Legend of Son of Heaven" and "Thunderbolt Puppet Show".
As Xiangyang leveled up, they could all be learned. This was a true holy land of martial arts, the City of Martial Arts.
Star City: Heart of Heroes.
Before the doomsday, the most popular "League of Legends" game had spread out from the city. Now, Star City had become a heroic city-state. It had formed an alliance with some of the surrounding settlements. Defense towers were erected in each of the cities of the alliance. This was the largest coverage area, and it protected the most civilians.
"City of Glory, City of Dreams, City of Martial Arts, City of Heroes... Soon, I will have a special city. I wonder what I will get..."
Lin Xi could not help but be excited.
Almost at the same time, the others had a different feeling.
In a quiet manor in Shen City, there were five people sitting. Other than the evolved Huang Bo, there was a middle-aged man in his 40s and three old men in their 50s. Two of them were political and military leaders that could often be seen on TV before doomsday.
These five people, other than Huang Bo, belonged to the grassroots before doomsday. Because many things in the city were inseparable from him, he was barely qualified to participate in the core group. As for the other four, each of them belonged to the real power.
Especially one of them, before doomsday, when he stomped his feet, Shen City would tremble. When he was angry, even the capital, which was far away from here, would have a storm.
This was an old man in his sixties. He had lived like a prince and was fat. His fat body sank into the sofa, making him look like a Maitreya Buddha. Although he was old, his face was still glowing, as if time had not left too many scars on his body.
But now, his face was pale, and there was sweat dripping from his forehead. The hand that was holding a piece of paper was slightly trembling.
It was just an ordinary piece of paper.
The old man could barely hold it.
Other than Huang Bo, who had an octopus face, the other four people around him clenched their fists. Their eyes were filled with indignation, as if they were about to devour someone. To be able to make the cunning politicians and leaders show such an expression, it could be seen how they felt.
"How could he do this? How dare he!"
The old man slammed the paper in his hand on the table and let out a low roar.
His status was noble, and he could decide the fate of thousands of people with just a finger. This was the first time he had encountered such a threat.
On the paper, the main content was:
Lin Xi was going to take over the city. No, to be precise, he was going to take over the city. The privileges of the leaders in the city were all abolished, and they needed to be re-evaluated. This evaluation was not based on the status before doomsday, nor was it based on bloodline, power, or connections.
It was based on the contribution.
The more contributions they made to the city, the more privileges they enjoyed. Even they, who did not work, only had the basic food: a bowl of porridge a day.
"Ridiculous! Who does he think he is? What does he think he is? A lowly civilian, a bug from the beggar province, how dare he come to our Shen City! He was just lucky to get a little ability, and he thinks he has the faith! "
"He wants to question us, and he is not qualified to challenge us! Give him the city, don't even think about it! This city has always belonged to our big families. Even after doomsday, we are still the kings of this city. An evolved person, who hasn't even grown his hair, how dare he say that! "
"We are the only ones who can rule Shen City!"
Huang Bo sighed. On one hand, he looked down on these parasites who stole the fruits of others. After the doomsday, although their power was limited, they were still kings in Shen City because of their previous identity, status, and connections.
If he could choose, he was willing to let Lin Xi be the city master. At least that young man was a super strong person, and he could protect the city.
Moreover, he would not be like these people, who were still arrogant and extravagant after the doomsday.
But Huang Bo knew that these people did not only represent themselves, but also represented the complicated forces, huge connections, and power networks. If these people gave an order, the whole city would be completely paralyzed.
For example, one of the people in charge of logistics could give an order. If the civilians could not even have a bowl of porridge a day, they would either starve to death or rise up in rebellion.
"Lin Xi is too strong … But in this world, power does not mean that you can do whatever you want. It was like this before the doomsday. Those who broke the rules were all sent to prison or shot to death. After the doomsday, although evolved people have great power, there are still people who control the rules."
Huang Bo felt that he could not let Shen City collapse. He reminded these people, "You have seen it, Lin Xi … He has the heart of the city, and he can turn Shen City into a special city … You should know that all of you were planning to give up here and go to the capital."
"With the heart of the city, Shen City will have the possibility to survive in the future."
"The heart of the city! What right does he have to get such a thing! " The old man was obviously still enraged. "How could an evolved human possess such a treasure? It should be given to the government, to the people with high status, to us! "
"This …"
Seeing that the old man was emotional, Huang Bo said, "He is very strong, even in the whole of China, he is one of the strongest."
The old man was silent. Indeed, Lin Xi's strength was too strong. Although they controlled the power and order, and even a group of forces, Lin Xi's strength was overwhelming. This was a problem that they could not solve.
"Let the capital send that Nine Stars guy over?"
"That's impossible … With that person's status, it's impossible for him to accept it. Besides, he wouldn't become enemies with an A-class powerhouse for us."
"It seems that we can only agree for now. No matter what, let him use the heart of the city first, let the special city be established, and then cause chaos to drive him away! The civilians are the easiest to control. At that time, we can reap the benefits and get this special city. "
"Victory belongs to us, the people who make the rules behind the scenes!"
