501: Chapter 494 Relocation 501: Chapter 494 Relocation Zhao Junyi’s shout, grand and sweeping, swept toward the four directions.
In terms of status, he couldn’t compare to Zhang Yushan, the Inner Sect deacon—that was indeed a fact.
But in terms of strength, he too was an Undying of the Sixth Realm.
Even if he was a bit inferior to Zhang Yushan, the gap was extremely limited.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to stand alone, sent out to become the commander of a city.
Originally, according to his plan, he was prepared to stay in this place for three two-hour periods, giving those people within the city ample time to consider whether or not they wanted to board the Spirit Ship and head to Jinshan City.
But now, because of Zhang Yushan’s parting words, Zhao Junyi had reduced the time he would stay here to within one two-hour period.
In Jinshan City, as the commander, he was mainly responsible for defense.
He was very clear about how troublesome Demon Path cultivators could be.
Zhang Yushan’s warning before leaving was very serious.
The Demon Path expert he mentioned was probably someone even he couldn’t handle at all.
Zhao Junyi’s strength, when compared to Zhang Yushan, was still slightly lacking.
That Li Ying, detected to have supreme talent, was on their Jinshan.
Zhao Junyi had promised that as long as he lived, he would absolutely not let that Li Ying encounter any accidents.
Should a Demon Path expert come to cause trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable.
One two-hour period, that is two hours.
In these two hours, how many people were willing to board their Jinshan, he did not insist.
Even the fact that the great being’s aura would dissipate after six days, and the fierce beasts would kill their way into the city at the first opportunity, he didn’t go into detail.
If the people in this city knew that after a maximum of six days of safety, they would definitely rush onto the Jinshan in droves.
Once there were too many people, the likelihood of accidents would naturally increase.
Jinshan City was just a small city.
Too many people flooding into the city all at once, they simply couldn’t integrate them all.
For Zhao Junyi, he would rather recruit fewer people than to see any accidents happen.
Eastern Pearl Community.
“Let’s go, Qingqing, take inventory of the luggage.
We’re leaving and heading to Jinshan City.”
Zhao Junyi’s shout reached Chen Hai’s ears, and after just a brief consideration, he had made his decision.
“Go there?
Are we giving up our home here?” Ye Qingqing paused upon hearing Chen Hai’s decision.
Here, she and Chen Hai had lived together for more than ten years, developing deep feelings for the place.
Women, after all, tend to be more emotional.
Suddenly leaving this place to go to some Jinshan City about which they knew nothing, except for the name, was clearly a bit hard for her to accept at the moment.
“Right!” Chen Hai nodded.
Then he explained, “I’ve told you about what the situation outside the city is like.”
“Those strange insects and fierce beasts are extremely fierce.
Ordinary people coming across them only spelled death.”
“As a modern metropolis, our Liuyuan County doesn’t even have a city wall.”
“Although I don’t know the reason why, those strange insects and fierce beasts are being kept at bay outside of the county’s outskirts, but this situation definitely cannot last.”
“If that worst-case scenario happens, there’s an outcome that both you and I can imagine.”
“Jinshan City, although we still know nothing about it for the time being, this city has probably existed for many years.
They surely have ways to handle those strange insects and fierce beasts outside the city.”
“Leaving here and heading to Jinshan City, emotionally, it might make you feel a bit upset, but for safety’s sake, it’s a choice we must make.”
Saying this, Chen Hai also heaved a sigh, filled with emotion.
Hearing his words, Ye Qingqing fell silent as well.
She naturally believed that on such a matter, Chen Hai would never deceive her.
After all, he had personally gone to check outside the city.
Now that he was speaking this way, he surely had his reasons.
Despite feeling extremely reluctant emotionally, after much hesitation, Ye Qingqing finally nodded.
“Leaving is leaving, then.
What do we need to take with us?” With a light sigh, she spoke up and asked.
Most of the things in this house had been procured by her own hands.
From her perspective, for every ten items in the house, she wanted to take at least eight to Jinshan City.
Of course, as much as she wished to, she was also well aware that taking so many possessions was simply unrealistic.
“Just take some clothes and food for the road, and leave the rest,” Chen Hai replied.
Ye Qingqing could probably guess what he was thinking, and after a brief pause, he added, “Although Jinshan City is unfamiliar to both of us, you know what I’m capable of, Qingqing.”
“With me around, there’s nothing to worry about.
I’ll definitely try my best to get you whatever you want.”
“Mm!
I’ve always been aware of your kindness toward me,” Ye Qingqing nodded in acknowledgment.
Then, the two of them began to pack their luggage.
Chen Hai’s Storage Pouch had very limited space.
After placing the Hongming Blade inside, he could only fit a few small items.
Half an hour later, when the two of them left, he was carrying a large suitcase in each hand.
Ye Qingqing, too, had her hands full, carrying several bags, both big and small.
It was supposed to just be some clothes and food, but Ye Qingqing still managed to pack so much.
It couldn’t be helped; that’s just how women are.
Chen Hai could only offer a wry smile in the face of this.
By the time the two arrived at the Sports Square, almost an hour had passed since Zhao Junyi’s call to action.
The area near where the Spirit Ship was docked on the square was as busy as a marketplace, teeming with activity.
After the sunlight returned, many had ventured outside the city to explore.
Some had died, while others fled back to the city in defeat.
Such stories spread from one person to the next.
It had been more than a day since the sun reappeared, and most of Liuyuan County’s residents probably knew the situation outside the city by now.
Leaving one’s homeland behind and heading for the completely unfamiliar Jinshan City was something most people were reluctant to do.
Yet, some shared Chen Hai’s concern, fearing that the strange insects and fierce beasts outside might one day invade the county itself.
Now, the crowd gathered here consisted of men, women, the elderly, and children, amounting to at least two or three thousand people.
Of course, with nearly one hundred thousand residents in Liuyuan County, those present were merely a tiny fraction.
Although they had arrived at the spot, they could only gather near the Spirit Ship and were not allowed to board without Zhao Junyi’s permission.
“This gentleman,” someone began to ask, “may I inquire what sort of treatment we can expect upon arriving in your Jinshan City?”
Addressing him as ‘gentleman’ rather than ‘comrade’ or ‘leader’, the people of Liuyuan County could be said to be following local customs.
Zhao Junyi, the Commander, had already returned to the Spirit Ship.
At this moment, those from Jinshan City outside the ship were being led by his deputy, Yan Song.
“Once you’re in Jinshan City, we will give you a three-day adjustment period,”
“During these three days, we’ll provide you with sufficient food to ensure you won’t starve.”
“As for your future, whether you can find a way to earn Spirit Coins, that will depend on your own abilities.”
Upon hearing the question, Yan Song, expressionless, glanced over the crowd and gave his response.
“Ah…
you’ll only provide us with food for three days, but what about accommodations?
Has Jinshan City made any arrangements?” dissatisfied with Yan Song’s reply, another person asked.
“We will designate an open space near the city wall for you,”
“You have arms and legs, so you can build yourself a temporary shelter.”
“If you want to live in better conditions, it’s up to you.
As long as you can earn Spirit Coins, you can have whatever you want.”
With a meaningful smile, Yan Song replied.
