Chapter 923 Bad News (2)
923 Bad News (2)
But why was there no news at all?
And why… did those people from the outside world leave behind so many descendants of the beastmen?
What were they after?
Or was it the strange fetish of those people back then?
After all, he was also in the circle of the rich. He knew that rich people had some strange fetishes, but this was not a reason to give birth to beastmen, right?
Or rather… Were there beastmen in the desert to begin with?
Then, there were those who came in through the spatial door. That was why there was such a large number of beastmen?
But how did the lizardmen and scorpionmen come about?
It couldn't be because of reproduction, right?
"Well, Your Majesty, there's a more private question I'd like to ask."
"Tell me."
"It's… Is your ancestor a human or a beastman like you? Or is it both?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, there must have been a human sometime ago."
The corners of Zhuge Qing's mouth twitched.
From the looks of it, it was probably a mess.
"What about that space door? Where was it originally?"
Fortunately, this question seemed to be recorded in the capital.
Huang Wen turned around and took out a map that looked a little old.
Then, he reached out and pointed at an area that had been smeared with red dye.
"This place is now the territory of the Devil Empire."
"Devil Empire?"
What was this?
Wasn't there a Yellow Sand Empire before?
"Yes, it's on the edge of the Yellow Sand Empire, they have been fighting each other."
"The Devil Empire is full of Devil Worms' descendants. They are just like the Devil Worm, only capable of destruction and slaughter!"
It seemed that Wang Cheng had suffered quite a bit in this aspect. When Huang Wen mentioned this, he gritted his teeth.
"Do you have anyone from the Devil's Empire here?"
Zhuge Qing asked curiously.
He really wanted to know what quality of beasts the descendant of the Yellow Sand Tyrannosaurus… had.
"Of course not!"
Zhuge Qing was a little disappointed, but he could still accept it.
The gains this time far exceeded his imagination.
At the very least, this first-hand information was quite valuable.
If he could get the location of the spatial door, wouldn't he ascend to the sky?!
Of course, the biggest possibility was that the spatial door was useless.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be no beasts outside after so long.
After conversing for a while, Zhuge Qing and the others helped to move those things out.
Then, the group began to discuss whether they should modernize this city.
At the same time, they began to wander around the capital accompanied by Kai.
They mainly went to see those who sold beasts.
Previously, they had found an Earth Dragon Beast. What if there were other better ones?
These beastmen in the capital would also think of ways to use their own methods to tame beasts.
Therefore, there were really many beast transactions in the capital.
The two-headed camel was the best example.
This thing could even be cultivated in the city.
This thing looked much more reliable than the grass-element four-horned sheep and alpacas.
At least in the desert, this kind of thing only needed to be fed some sweet fruits to survive for a few days.
Moreover, they still remembered the way and had a certain sense of danger in the desert.
Unlike the four-horned sheep, which sometimes lowered its head and prepared to slide when it was in danger.
Just as Zhuge Qing and the others were making significant progress, the defense battle at Iron Rock City was also on the right track.
At the very least, the legionnaires who had been running around like headless flies were now organized.
Several lines of defense were formed near the crack in the car.
Of course, they were afraid of death at first.
However, when they realized that the beasts at the front of the defense line were all better at fighting, they were much more relieved.
At the very least, he did not have to worry about being eaten by those mutated beasts.

"Boss, can we have those beasts? They look so powerful!"
"I heard that it's possible. Isn't the dojo behind us for us to use?"
"Tsk, was this Beast Taming Dojo created by the big shots in the Central Province? If it was created earlier, would we not have to be afraid of those animals?"
"I don't think they're from the Central Province. I heard from those mercenaries that they're all from Jiangzhou City."
"Jiangzhou City? Never heard of it."
"I don't either. It seems to be a relatively remote small city. It seems to be only a little bigger than our place."
"Ah? Such a city can produce things such as tamed beasts?"
"I don't know about that…"
"I'm envious. Do you think we can go there after we're done?"
"I don't know, but I heard that after the people behind evacuate, we can leave."
"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to hold on. If we retreat again and again, it won't be long before the hole in the city wall is bigger. Those Level 7 and Level 8 mutated beasts will be able to rush in."
When Lin Ye saw that the gap that was only dozens of centimeters wide had become more than two meters wide, he felt a little anxious.
"How many left?"
Gu Zheng took the watch that the adjutant had just handed over and glanced at it.
"We need at least half an hour."
"We're already not bad. After half a day, the city wall was barely widened by so little. This means that we didn't cut corners back then."
"That's true…"
"However, more and more mutated beasts are gathering outside now."
Lin Ye glanced at the Strange Beast in charge of scouting in the sky.
"If this drags on, I'm afraid more siege beasts will be sent over."
"We're already speeding them up."
"Mm…"
Just as the two of them were feeling a little worried, Gu Zheng's secretary brought them another piece of bad news.
"Mayor, Dojo Master Lin, I just received news that two border cities in the north and west have also been attacked."
"Then, the mutated beasts in Eastern Sea City are also gathering again."
Hearing this, the dark clouds on Gu Zheng's face increased.
"How's the situation at the Beast Taming Dojo over there?"
"According to your instructions, we've been evacuating at the same time as the spatial gate since this morning."
"For now, apart from the members of the army and the Human Alliance government, everyone else has to be evacuated."
"Phew~"
Gu Zheng's face relaxed a little, and the dark clouds dissipated a lot.
"That's one of the few pieces of good news."
Seeing the mayor like this, the secretary opened his mouth.
Although it would not be good to disturb the leader's mood, he had to say the bad news.
Lin Ye shook his head helplessly.
At the same time, he was glad that he did not want to be a human overlord back then.
Damn it, look at how busy Gu Zheng was as a mayor of the Central Province City.
Moreover, it did not concern the cities of the entire Eastern Continent. It was just a temporary arrangement of a few cities, and it was already like this.
If this was the entire planet, wouldn't he die suddenly?
Lin Ye did not have a fetish for being abused.
How good was it now?
He was only responsible for helping, but he still had a transcendent status.
Tsk ~
Thinking about it this way, it was not bad.
"Mayor."
"What happened?"
"And there's some bad news."
Indeed.
The dark clouds that had just dissipated returned to Gu Zheng's face.
"Say—" Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He sounded like he was gritting his teeth.
After the secretary chose his words, he quickly said,
"According to the information brought back by the scouting team we sent out, these mutated beasts… seem to be heading towards the center from the edge of the continent."
"Although there are awakened mutated beasts outside every city, those mutated beasts didn't start attacking the city immediately after awakening. Instead, they 'rested and recuperated' on the spot. Even if they discovered our people, only some low-level mutated beasts chased after them."
"Those medium to high-level mutated beasts with a little brain didn't move at all."
This bad news was indeed bad news.
At least when Gu Zheng heard this, his expression turned even uglier.
"Arrange for the evacuation of the residents of the peripheral cities as soon as possible."
"They can go to the Central Province, Jiangzhou City, or those cities closer to Central Province."
"If they don't want to evacuate, don't force them."
"The opportunity has been given to them."
