Chapter 259
Chapter 259 Sudden Call
Zhou Xiaoning wiped out a small force composed of more than one hundred monsters, led by a leopard monster in the old monster realm. Due to his racial talent, the leopard monster’s instantaneous burst speed was even faster than some big monsters.
Now that the Demon King and the Ghost King are not coming, and only relying on a few big monsters to support the scene, the Leopard Demon’s strength is already very good, but it is a pity that he met Zhou Xiaoning today.
“Does it have 8000 source strength? As far as a small boss is concerned, it’s not bad.”
In line with the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat. Although the source cards that burst out this round are not of much use to Zhou Xiaoning, he still keeps these source cards. Now that the two-world city is just being built, everything is lacking, and it can’t be wasted.
“You can do it now, and collect all kinds of metals first.” Zhou Xiaoning ordered the 5000 ghost recruits who came with him.
Nowadays, the one-star construction of Liangjie City has been completed, but starting from the two-star, the upgrading and construction of functional buildings require various metals. The resources obtained from the Old Demon of Black Mountain are just as good as half of the two-star construction. No way, who told Zhou Xiaoning to consume twice as much resources as other lords.
It’s just that the wood and stone resources are abundant in the basin, but there are no mineral resources at all.
In desperation, Zhou Xiaoning had to go out to collect resources.
This time, Zhou Xiaoning found a hardware market. After scanning the inventory, the metal resources obtained should be able to persist until the two-star construction is completed.
The surrounding monsters and ghost forces were wiped out or driven away by Zhou Xiaoning. Today, this place should be safe.
Zhou Xiaoning brought out all the ghost recruits. They stayed idle in the barracks anyway, so why not come out to help Zhou Xiaoning. In this way, it can not only speed up the collection of resources, but also play the role of marching exercise, killing two birds with one stone.
It is not the first time that ghost recruits have done the same thing. They are familiar with the road, and soon collected a lot of metal. After putting them in different categories in front of Zhou Xiaoning, several metal hills were piled up in a short time. And Zhou Xiaoning’s task was to store these metals in different storage reels according to their types.
“Blubru, Blubru.”
“Huh, phone worm?”
In order to understand the situation in HZ City, Zhou Xiaoning has been carrying the phone bug with him during this period to facilitate contact with his father and Zhou Pingzhong. According to Zhou Xiaoning’s knowledge, as early as eight days ago, the military had run out of ammunition and food, and now it is entirely dependent on the support of the chosen and evolving.
But then again, facing the three-party battlefield at the same time, it is not easy for the military to persist until now, and it has greatly exceeded Zhou Xiaoning’s expectations.
As early as the day the two-world city was built, Zhou Xiaoning used a phone worm to contact Zhou Yimin and the others, and asked his dad to quickly bring someone to join him. But for some reason, they haven’t set off until now, and Zhou Xiaoning is really anxious to death.
I have to say that the phone worm is really a magical creature. It can not only be used as a phone call, but also has its own electric display function. By looking at the change of the phone worm’s attitude, you can know who is calling.
For example, when Zhou Xiaoning saw the phone worm put on a capable but cynical look, he knew that the other end of the phone was his dad.
Zhou Xiaoning answered the phone and said unceremoniously: “Dad, if you want to continue the postponement, then you still don’t speak. I really don’t understand. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that HZ City can’t hold it. Why are you wrong? Do you want to stay there?”
“Son, I…”
Seeing what Zhou Yimin wanted to say, Zhou Xiaoning interrupted him impatiently and said: “Okay, dad, don’t tell me that there are too many materials to organize or there are so many people who need to accompany you. We need to make arrangements and other excuses. There are more than 2,000 people coming out of that village. Does it take a month to prepare?”
Zhou Yimin’s expression was a bit embarrassing. He has been doing one thing during this month. If this thing is done, it will definitely benefit Zhou Xiaoning without any harm. It’s just that this matter has never been settled before. Zhou Yimin didn’t want Zhou Xiaoning to be happy, so he didn’t say it, but used all kinds of bad reasons to delay time.
In the end, most of the things that worked hard to pay off were finally done, and the rest of the small part was all up to Zhou Xiaoning.
For this reason, Zhou Yimin excitedly called Zhou Xiaoning. He wanted to inform Zhou Xiaoning of the good news, but he didn’t expect that as soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Yimin hadn’t even spoken a word. Zhou Xiaoning was stunned by Zhou Xiaoning for several minutes and looked at his home. His wife wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh out loud. She trembled and endured very hard, Zhou Yimin’s mood can be imagined.
“Boy, if you are by my side now, Laozi promises to make your butt bloom!”
Zhou Yimin couldn’t help but appear in his mind a picture of himself violently abusing Zhou Xiaoning, thinking about how to catch Zhou Xiaoning, what to beat her with, and even what kind of pose to pose after the beat.
It can be seen that Zhou Yimin didn’t want to beat Zhou Xiaoning in a day or two. It’s just that his mother, Zhou Xiaoning’s grandmother, Xie Ping, stood in the middle, making Zhou Yimin just think about it every time he was caught. Xie Ping strangled in the bud. As the only seedling of the old Zhou family, Xie Ping tried to protect Zhou Xiaoning to the end as long as it was not illegal or taboo or touching the bottom line. Zhou Yimin had no temper at all, so she could only vent her own depressed little emotions. .
“Son, I don’t have the time to make jokes with you now. The things I’m going to say next are very important. It’s up to you how much you can profit from it.”
Zhou Yimin suddenly became very serious. With Zhou Xiaoning’s understanding of his father, once he showed such an expression, it means that the matter is really important, and there is no room for sloppyness.
Zhou Xiaoning stopped complaining and quietly listened to Zhou Yimin’s narration.
It turned out that Zhou Yimin had not been idle for more than a month. On the contrary, he did something that stunned Zhou Xiaoning. He even persuaded Wang Jianjun to abandon the HZ city base and lead everyone to join Zhou Xiaoning.
If a force wants to develop, population is indispensable. For example, Zhou Xiaoning’s external two-world city cannot function because of lack of population. For this reason, Zhou Xiaoning is also very worried. He has no idea where to get people over. After all, long-distance migration is not like in the past, but you risk your life. Unless it is an unavoidable situation, generally no one will choose a thief in such a danger. He left a safer resident under the circumstances and went to a place where the situation is unknown.
It just so happens that HZ City is now in an extremely distressing environment. The fantasy creatures in the three regions are invading together. With the existing strength of HZ City, it is impossible to resist. The survivors of HZ City are eager to find a more suitable place to live. .
At this time, Zhou Xiaoning heard the news that he had established the Liangjiecheng in Yicheng, which made Zhou Yimin’s mind active. He began to contact Wang Jianjun frequently and persuaded him to lead everyone in the base to join Zhou Xiaoning.
At the beginning, Wang Jianjun refused. After all, as the military commander guarding one side, he holds great power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of HZ city. After having tasted the beauty of power, how many people are willing lay down.
However, as the situation in HZ City became more and more severe, and Zhou Yimin continued to promote how good and safe the two-world city was in the base, the survivors in the base were moved and forced Wang Jianjun to do something. choose.
No, early this morning, Wang Jianjun came to Zhou Yimin and wanted to contact Zhou Xiaoning through him to discuss specific relocation matters.
“Dad, thank you.” Zhou Xiaoning said moved. He could imagine that Zhou Yimin must have received a lot of Byakugan and hostility during this month, which contributed to this incident.
“Between us father and son, what are you saying thank you.” Zhou Yimin smiled, and Zhou Xiaoning could understand his good intentions, and he was satisfied.
“Okay, Dad, I know what to do, you can hand over the phone bug to Commander Wang.”
Zhou Xiaoning’s eyes were full of firmness, and it was time for negotiation.
At the beginning, Zhou Xiaoning took a group of people from the military village to the base and sought the military’s asylum. Now the military is begging Zhou Xiaoning to help them.
“Hello, Mr. Zhou, this is Wang Jianjun.”
Wang Jianjun put his attitude very upright, and did not overbear people just because he was the commander of the military.
“Commander Wang, haven’t seen you for many days, how have you been?”
Zhou Xiaoning quickly recovered his divergent thoughts. In this negotiation, he occupied a very advantageous position. Wang Jianjun and the others could only retreat to Yicheng if they wanted to survive, but the military still possessed a lot of troops and evolution. Even though Zhou Xiaoning is not afraid, once they get into trouble, Zhou Xiaoning will also have a headache. Therefore, this time the negotiation is mainly to determine the relationship between the two, whether it is a cooperative alliance or an integration and annexation.
“Mr. Zhou, let’s save the greeting. How about let’s go directly to the topic?” Wang Jianjun said very simply. Before Zhou Yimin and Zhou Xiaoning were talking with him, he was right next to him. Everyone knew what was going on in this conversation. The twists and turns of playing politics went around.
“happy!”
Zhou Xiaoning slapped his palm, he just likes such a simple conversation, saving worry and effort.
“Commander Wang, I can accept you, but it’s not free.” Zhou Xiaoning paused, sorted out his thoughts and then said: “First of all, I need 80% of the materials you have accumulated. You also know that you suddenly come so many people. The side pressure is not small.”
“Can.”
Wang Jianjun promised readily. After all, he didn’t have much room for rejection. If Zhou Xiaoning didn’t take them in, they would have to wait to die. Then, what use would it be to hold more supplies?
“In addition, survivors can directly join the two-world city and become residents of the two-world city. But for the soldiers and evolving team you lead, I don’t think you will give it to me easily, so I give you two choices. Either I allow you to be stationed in Yicheng without interfering with each other, or be hired by me as a mercenary to complete the tasks I give you, and I will be responsible for all your supplies.”
On the other end of the phone, Wang Jianjun was silent. Although Zhou Xiaoning gave two choices, the first one seemed to ensure his independence. He is still the commander of the military and holds great power. Ten thousand soldiers and evolvers cannot survive for a long time in a crisis-ridden situation and lack of supplies.
As for the second option, it doesn’t sound like a problem, but all the supplies are controlled by Zhou Xiaoning, so what is the difference between them and directly relying on Zhou Xiaoning? The mercenaries put it nicely, but in fact they are just a fig leaf for them. .
“Mr. Zhou, you won, I will choose the second one.”
Wang Jianjun sighed helplessly. Now, does he have any other choice besides this?
