After entering the city, the soldier in charge of leading the way found a few people to set up a tent for the two of them. Pu Yunchuan found that these people were indeed very enthusiastic about the newcomers from the outside, as if they had met their fellow countrymen at a construction site…
The tent area was very crowded, densely packed. There were probably tens of thousands of tents at a glance, and Pu Yunchuan noticed that the soldiers living here more or less had some signs of mutation… …
After the two of them settled down at night, the soldier who led the way in the morning brought them some food and hot water. His att.i.tude was obviously different from those normal residents who looked at them from afar…
After the soldier left, Pu Yunchuan frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”
Isabelle narrowed her eyes, picked up the cereal cake in the basin and looked at it carefully, then sniffed it… …
Pu Yunchuan took a bite and nodded. “It’s quite fragrant. Although it looks ugly, it’s not bad. It tastes better than the rice cake we sell…”
“It’s poisonous…”Isabelle said softly.
“Ugh…”Pu Yunchuan froze and spat a few times. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Isabelle: “It’s a heavy metal poison. It’s very light in weight. It Won’t affect your body too much if you eat it once in a while…”
Pu Yunchuan:”…”
“I was wondering why that guy was so enthusiastic and solicitous for no reason. As expected, he’s either a traitor or a thief…”Pu Yunchuan immediately said in an angry tone.
“It shouldn’t be that soldier who poisoned it…”. Isabelle shook her head. “It’s obvious that this poison was transferred by a professional alchemist. When I pa.s.sed by just now, I saw many soldiers eating it. If I’m not wrong, this poison should be targeted at these soldiers.” . . …”
“Against soldiers? Why?”Pu Yunchuan Leng Leng Leng Leng Way.
“Fear, of course…”Isabel smiled. “We’re lucky. A few more days and we wouldn’t have had such a good thing…”
“ER… . . Is It?”Pu Yunchuan Leng Leng Leng Leng, the heart is completely stupefied, secret way: what is she saying in the end? Poisoned. Why Good? Who’s Afraid? Why do I feel like I can’t keep up? Is that the difference between a field marshal and a hacky sack programmer?
Um… . No! . She can’t see… . .
Thinking of this Pu Yunchuan a serious face nodded: “I think so too…”

“Lord Mayor, two more people came today…”in the Lord’s mansion, the administrative secretary reported today’s new developments to the Lord, who was calculating his house with the Finance Minister.
“There are still survivors at this time?”The castellan was a little surprised. Almost all the seven cities in the northwest had been destroyed. Luxi City, which had been resisting for the longest time, had already been breached two months ago. The refugees who could escape had long arrived. After all, in the environment outside, it was obviously a bit exaggerated to say that there were people who could survive outside for two months…
“Have you checked? Who are they?”The castellan asked with a serious tone.
“I don’t know. They were wearing cloaks and were welcomed to the quarantine zone by the mutants the moment they entered the city…”
“Mind your words, Chekov!”The castellan interrupted him seriously, “Those are not mutants, they are our compatriots. Even now, they are still protecting the city. The fourth zone is also a temporary residential zone, not a quarantine zone. If I hear you say that again, you don’t have to work here anymore!”
The secretary’s expression changed when he heard that, and he quickly lowered his head to apologize… …
“Then how are we going to distribute the supplies later?”The Finance Minister asked carefully.
City Lord Mike knocked on the table and said in a low voice, “We can’t reduce the supplies for the soldiers on the outer perimeter. They are the current barrier of Gondolin. We must defend against the most dangerous mutated creatures. We can’t wear thin belts. Otherwise, it will lower the morale of the people. We will first reduce the supplies of the residents by one-fifth…”. “…”
“But that’s not enough…”the finance minister frowned and said.
“The soldiers of the inner circle and the guards of the city Lord’s mansion will be reduced by one-third…”Mike continued.
“This…”the finance minister was stunned and said, “It’s not very good, right?”
“There’s no other way…”mike sighed, “For the sake of the overall situation, we can only let them suffer. As for the situation, I will gather them and explain it to them personally. I believe they will understand… just do as you are told…”
The finance minister nodded when he heard Mike’s words. A complicated expression immediately appeared on his face. Meanwhile, the secretary who had spoken rudely to the surrounding soldiers just now had her head lowered. Her eyes were shining with an inexplicable light…
————– —
“Did the city lord really say that?”An hour later, in a dark bas.e.m.e.nt, a few mutated generals sat in front of a brazier. They looked at the person who was reporting the news in astonishment.
And the person who reported the news was actually the secretary and Finance Minister of the Castellan’s mansion… …
“I didn’t expect Mike to do that…”the finance minister sighed slightly.
The few generals looked at each other when they heard that. One of them looked very tall, with thick black hair growing all over his body. He looked like a wild man and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “What do we say now?”
“Take a look first…”in the middle, the middle-aged general who was covered in white scales sighed and said, “We gathered the mutated soldiers just to protect ourselves. It would be best if we could live in peace. After all… . And we don’t want our hands full of the blood of our people… . .”
“But those people don’t think of us as fellow countrymen anymore!”Said a black-scaled general on the far left in a sullen tone.
“Alright… That’s it for today! !”The white scale general glared at the other party, stopping him from continuing to provoke everyone’s hostility.
The black scale general’s face sank slightly, but in the end, he did not continue to speak. This white scale general was called Wesker, and he was once a lieutenant general. He had the strength of a peak silver-tier. Now that he had mutated, it was very likely that he had already stepped into the gold-tier. Not to mention him, the few people present might not even be able to fight him together. Moreover, his prestige in the military was very high. Many people were more convinced of him. Even if he could not stand this conservative approach of his, it would not be good for him to openly oppose it… …
“I’ll have to trouble all of you to make a trip…”the white-scaled general said gently to the Finance Minister.
The finance minister nodded but did not say anything. Although the other party tried to speak very gently, he still felt as if he was facing a ferocious beast-like oppression. It had to be said that there was a reason why the residents disliked these mutated people. If it wasn’t for the fact that his grandson was injured and mutated, he wouldn’t have gone over to the mutant side…
He was slightly relieved to hear that the other side had no intention of using blood, and he didn’t want to see the worst of it if he could!

At the same time, a few people did not think that, in the castellan mansion dark bas.e.m.e.nt, but is happening and castellan said the content is extremely inconsistent with the cruel incident!
The dark bas.e.m.e.nt had been turned into a temporary secret laboratory. The laboratory was filled with all kinds of human organs and many dismembered soldiers’corpses.
Many dismembered soldiers were still twitching and their faces were filled with hatred. They were still alive… …
“What’s the result of the examination? Mr. Marlin!”City Lord Mike immediately went to the bas.e.m.e.nt after sending off the finance minister, he looked at the dismembered soldiers with a cold expression. There was no fluctuation in his expression. It was obvious that he knew about the cruel scene around him. It was hard to imagine that ten minutes ago… He had a righteous expression on his face as he fought for the benefits of the peripheral soldiers…
If Pu Yunchuan were here, he would definitely exclaim: as expected… . . The upper-cla.s.s people were all excellent actors. …
