Nonsense! " An Tianzuo slammed his palm on the desk, nearly shattering it due to his lack of control. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
"It's not a bad thing for Young Master Wen to stay in Guide City. Guide City's dimensional zones are rich in resources. In the future, it will definitely be an important place for all parties to vie for. If Young Master Wen can successfully gain a foothold there, the benefits you will reap will be thousands of times greater," An Sheng explained on Zhou Wen's behalf.
"Who doesn't know that Guide City will be one of the most important places in the world in the future? But do you think any of the six families would dare occupy that place? Without the corresponding strength, entering the fray too early will only result in becoming cannon fodder for the other factions, "An Tianzuo said coldly.
"Young Master Wen isn't an ordinary person. His strength isn't something the six families can compare with. Perhaps he can do what others can't and take control of Guide City ahead of time," An Sheng continued speaking on Zhou Wen's behalf.
"No matter how strong a person is, he's only one person. What's the point of him staying there alone?" An Tianzuo thought nothing of An Sheng's words.
"Yu Qiubai has the intention of staying in Guide City. He's lobbying the other teachers and locals to stay. If it really succeeds, it'll be a good starting point. There'll be a chance for development in the future." An Sheng reported the situation in Guide City in detail to An Tianzuo.
An Tianzuo snorted coldly. "There's no need to wait for the outcome to know that it's impossible. 99% of people won't choose to stay in Guide City."
An Tianzuo spoke with great certainty, as though he was very confident.
An Sheng naturally knew that the chances of success were very low. Even with Zhou Wen's reputation, it was useless. Most people would still choose to move to Luoyang.
It wasn't that people lacked confidence in Zhou Wen's strength, but that everyone knew very well that no matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to stay in the city 24 hours a day to protect them.
What ordinary people needed was a stable and orderly society. This was something Zhou Wen couldn't give them at present, but Luoyang had everything.
Even if An Tianzuo wasn't in Luoyang, Luoyang still had the strength to withstand a large-scale attack from a mutated creature. It had a complete city defense system, the Federation's Sunset Army, and many famous experts in the Federation.
As long as the Sunset Army didn't collapse, Luoyang was basically safe.
Humans were selfish. No one was willing to gamble with their lives. Therefore, An Tianzuo and An Sheng knew very well that most people wouldn't stay in Guide City.
The truth was similar to what they thought. When Yu Qiubai went to work with the teachers, it didn't go smoothly. Although most of the teachers still respected Yu Qiubai, they still rejected him tactfully.
Even the school leaders who had a good relationship with Yu Qiubai privately advised him not to joke around with his life and to follow everyone to Luoyang to develop his career.
If even the teachers were like that, it was even more impossible for the people from Guide City who didn't have a good relationship with Yu Qiubai to stay.
Most people had already registered with the Sunset Army and were waiting to be moved to Luoyang.
Yu Qiubai was also very anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Guide City was indeed in a terrible situation. Furthermore, they still hadn't confirmed if they could build a human city in Sui Huang's tomb. Therefore, they couldn't use this as a bargaining chip.
This was within Zhou Wen's expectations, but he never expected it to be so tragic. Up to now, the number of people willing to stay could be counted on one hand.
"Humans are indeed realistic." Zhou Wen originally believed that with Yu Qiubai's reputation, he would be able to retain a few hundred people, but he never expected there to be so few.
However, Zhou Wen didn't take it to heart. Although he did need people, it wasn't unacceptable if there weren't any. As long as he could establish the city, there would still be a chance to attract other humans in the future.
However, it would be a little difficult in the early stages without anyone. Many things would be inconvenient.
No matter how strong Zhou Wen was, he wasn't omnipotent. Some things needed professionals to do, and those professionals were what Zhou Wen wanted the most.
For example, building a house was fine with Zhou Wen building a wooden house with a stone floor, but a well-designed building with complete functions wasn't something Zhou Wen could handle.
An Sheng already knew the outcome from the Sunset Army's registration form, but there was nothing he could do.
It wasn't just An Sheng. The various factions that had long had designs on Guide City knew of this matter.
"He actually wants to build a human city in Guide City. Zhou Wen sure is daring." Xia Liuchuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard the news.
Xia Xuanyue pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if this is An Tianzuo's intention. If it's his intention, then he really made a bad move. Guide City is a good place. The surroundings are like a hotbed of myths and legends. Although there isn't a clear pantheon system, in terms of dimensional zone resources, it's in no way inferior to Jerusalem. In some aspects, it's even more terrifying. However, with humanity's current strength, it's not enough to build a human city in such a place. Intervening too early will only make one a target. The An family has already done their best to defend Luoyang. If they want to interfere in Guide City, I'm afraid they will suffer a double loss. "
Xia Liuchuan said, "With my understanding of An Tianzuo, that person definitely wouldn't do such a thing. Furthermore, Zhou Wen comes from Guide City, so this is probably his idea."
"Although Zhou Wen is strong, building a city isn't something that can be completed by a single person. I wonder what his plans are," Xia Xuanyue said with a sigh.
Xia Liuchuan suddenly retracted his smile and said to Xia Xuanyue, "Zhou Wen must be lacking in manpower now. Are you interested in going there to play for a while?"
"What do you mean?" Xia Xuanyue knew that Xia Liuchuan wasn't simply getting her to play.
"No one wants Guide City now, but they will fight for it in the future. If that punk Zhou Wen really occupies it, we'll lend him a hand when he's in his most dire straits. We won't pay much, but if it succeeds, the future gains might be huge. Just treat it as an investment," Xia Liuchuan said.
"Then I'll go take a look," Xia Xuanyue said with a nod after some thought.
An Sheng was thinking about how he could help Zhou Wen leave some people behind. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for him, but after some thought, he couldn't come up with a good solution.
If they weren't willing to stay, he couldn't force them to stay with a gun, right?
"How vicious … How vicious … How vicious …" When An Sheng heard the ringtone, he knew that it was from An Tianzuo. He hurriedly answered the call.
"Overseer, what can I do for you?" An Sheng asked.
An Tianzuo's voice was emotionless as he said indifferently, "Recently, an unknown break-out creature has appeared around Luoyang. There's a shortage of manpower. Quickly bring the troops back to provide reinforcements."
"Bring them all back?" An Sheng asked.
"Do you still want to hold back?" An Tianzuo snorted coldly.
"Then what about Guide City? There are still many people who haven't registered. Furthermore, with so many people, it's impossible to take them all at once. Even if we do it in batches, we'll probably have to do it in dozens of batches … "An Sheng felt that there was a problem with this matter.
They couldn't bring that many people with them. Those who couldn't leave would probably not survive. After all, there were still skeleton creatures rushing out from the ancient city.
Now, it was all thanks to their suppression that they could maintain such a situation.
"What time is it? Are those people more important or Luoyang's safety?" An Tianzuo said angrily.
An Sheng seemed to understand something as he carefully asked, "Overseer, what do you mean?"
"Isn't my meaning clear enough? Don't bring a single one. Scram back as fast as possible. If anything happens to Luoyang, I'll chop off your head first, "An Tianzuo said coldly.
"Understood. I'll bring the troops back now. I won't bring a single person with me. Let them stay in Guide City." An Sheng wore an odd expression as he thought to himself, Overseer is indeed ruthless! I still have to continue studying.
