After Sun Wei left, Chen Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At first, he was a bit worried about whether there might be any danger in the process of helping the forr open up the ridians.
As it turned out, he was overthinking it. The entire process was as simple as eating or drinking water.
"It should be because my True Essence is more abundant."
He muttered to himself.
As soon as his True Essence appeared in Sun Wei’s body, the few strands of True Qi that erged in the latter’s body obediently settled down.
Sun Wei’s breakthrough was certainly a good thing, but it was only the beginning of a long journey.
He did not propose to refine True Qi Pills for Sun Wei.
Because even his own stock of True Qi Pills was insufficient, how could he have the mind to spare any for others? Moreover, with Sun Wei’s strength, consuming one of his True Qi Pills would be akin to seeking death.
It would be better for him to purchase Low-grade True Qi Pills at the Association in the future.
"As for the Chairman, that’s settled."
Chen Fan nodded contentedly. Next, it was ti to continue refining elixirs and hunting fierce beasts outside the city.
With a thought, a black box over three ters long and two ters wide appeared on the table in front of him.
Chen Fan took a deep breath, stepped forward, entered the password, and with a crisp sound, the chanism inside the box opened. With a slight bit of force, he opened the box.
Inside the box,
there lay a two-ter-long battle bow, completely black, with a bowstring as thick as a child’s arm.
In a groove next to the battle bow, thirty arrows lay quietly, each over three ters long and as thick as a thigh. The arrows’ heads alone were half a ter long and featured several bloodletting grooves, which were quite intimidating.
"This is the Tier Four Alloy Battle Bow."
Chen Fan’s hand gently caressed the bow, his eyes revealing a look of intoxication.
According to headquarters’ introduction, the power of this Tier Four Alloy Battle Bow was more than ten tis that of the Tier Three Alloy Battle Bow. With a single shot, even without using True Qi, it could severely injure or kill an elite-level fierce beast if it hit.
If it struck a commander-level fierce beast, it could also cause significant damage, and if it hit a vital point, it was entirely possible to kill with one shot.
"I really want to go out and test it on a few elite-level fierce beasts."
Chen Fan picked up the battle bow with his left hand and an arrow with his right, eager to give it a try.
After a long while, he reluctantly put the bow and arrow down.
With another thought, a long black box appeared in front of him.
Compared to the previous box, this one was much more slender, less than half a ter wide.
Chen Fan entered the password, opened the box, and saw three entirely red arrows lying quietly inside.
Strange patterns, resembling characters, were engraved on the arrows.
"Are these the Demon-Breaking Arrows?"
Chen Fan picked up an arrow and examined it carefully.
After a long look, he found nothing special beyond the color and the patterns.
"Could it be because I’m not an Awakener?"
He muttered to himself.
Chairman Chang had ntioned that Demon-Breaking Weapons could not only destroy defensive special items but also suppress Awakeners significantly.
"I hope I never have to use these three arrows."
He shook his head, put the Demon-Breaking Arrow back, and closed the box.
After storing the weapons back into his space items, he looked at the fully packed internal space and smiled wryly.
Originally, he thought ten cubic ters would be enough.
But before he knew it, it had been filled with all kinds of items.
Looking at the herbs that took up almost half the space, Chen Fan felt a sort of blissful trouble.
Perhaps it was ti to save up so points and buy a space item with a larger space.
"Next, I should go refine so elixirs. Relying on sitting and ditating to increase True Essence is too slow."
Chen Fan sighed, just about to head to the alchemy room when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
He was stunned for a mont, then realized it must be the Awakened Association calling.
He took it out and saw that it was indeed so.
"Hello?"
Chen Fan changed his voice.
"Chairman."
Hua Jun’s voice ca from the phone, "Chairman, aren’t you at the Association?"
"Do I have to report to you wherever I go?" Chen Fan retorted.
"No, no, that’s not what I ant." Hua Jun was startled and quickly said, "I have sothing to report to you. I went to the office, but you weren’t there, so..."
"Alright, get to the point." Chen Fan interrupted him.
"Yes, Chairman." Hua Jun quickly said, "Chairman, the two tasks you assigned to have both been completed."
"Oh?"
Chen Fan was a bit surprised, "Even the second one? No troublemakers?"
"None."
Hua Jun laughed, "Everyone was willing to cooperate with your work, no objections. Nearly fifty percent of the land in Anshan City has been reclaid."
"You did well on that."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Hehe, Chairman, you’re too kind. It was just so trivial matters." Hua Jun laughed, then tentatively asked, "Chairman, are we really going to give the reclaid land to people from outside the city to live on?"
"Why, you think I’m joking?"
"No, no." Hua Jun laughed, "I just wanted to confirm. Chairman, you’re truly high-minded and noble."
"Alright, spare the flattery," Chen Fan frowned, "Tomorrow, first relocate the people from the two villages outside the city as quickly as possible. Also, have the Awakeners from the Association go to the surrounding villages and have them prepare for relocation."
Upon hearing this, Hua Jun’s mouth opened wide.
Even the people from the surrounding villages were to migrate?
But this ti, he didn’t express any objections and quickly agreed, "Yes, Chairman, I’ll send people from the Association to inform the surrounding villages. But this might not be as simple as we think. Those people might not easily believe us and may not agree to co."
"Show them your strength and explain your intentions. If they still don’t want to co, then forget it."
Chen Fan said.
You can’t convince those who are ant to perish even with good words. If they really didn’t want to co, he couldn’t beg them.
Besides, even if he moved everyone from the villages within a hundred-mile radius to the city, it would still be a drop in the bucket.
Frankly speaking, he didn’t even know if he could hold this city.
"Understood."
Hua Jun responded, then asked:
"Chairman, is there anything else you need?"
"That’s it for now. Report to anyti if there’s a situation."
"Yes, Chairman."
Hua Jun hung up the phone.
Rubbing his temples.
Transferring everyone from the two villages outside the city was no small task.
Luckily, the toughest part was done. The rest was just routine.
"The Chairman really wants to save people by doing this."
He murmured.
He initially thought the Chairman was trying to seek benefits as an excuse.
Turns out, it wasn’t true.
However, by doing this, the Chairman was effectively cancelling the living threshold, making it easy for people from farther away to co. Then how would Anshan City cope?
"Whatever, just follow the Chairman’s instructions."
He shook his head.
At the sa ti, in a row of villas on the north side of the mountain top.
Many people were gathered together, cursing Chen Fan and Hua Jun.
But everyone present knew all they could do was rant. No matter how dissatisfied or resentful they were, they still signed and put their fingerprints obediently, didn’t they?
In the post-apocalyptic world, the one with the biggest fist had the final say.
And upstairs, in a bedroom, Yan Hao sat on the bed, holding a phone, a look of struggle in his eyes.
But soon, he gritted his teeth and dialed a number from his contacts.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
The sound of the call connecting echoed in the stuffy bedroom, adding to the oppressive atmosphere.
Yan Hao was extrely nervous.
He could even hear his own heartbeat clearly.
About ten seconds later, the call was answered, and a rough voice sounded, "Hello? Who is this?"
Yan Hao took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm.
"Brother Xie, it’s ."
"You are?"
The person on the other end seed to be trying to recall.
"I’m Yan Hao."
Yan Hao said.
"Yan Hao? Yan Hao? Yan Hao! You’re Yan Hao?!!!"
The voice on the other end was suddenly filled with gnashing teeth.
As if he could tear Yan Hao into pieces.
"It’s , Brother Xie."
Yan Hao clenched his fist and said.
If it weren’t absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t make this call.
But today’s events were sothing he couldn’t swallow.
If that was the case, then they would all perish together!
No, perhaps, his Yan family could still have a foothold, at least better than their current situation.
"Well, well, Yan Hao."
Xie Ming said through gritted teeth, "Your good brother, along with Fang Yun’s group, blinded one of my eyes and drove us out of Anshan City. For three years, do you know how I’ve been living these past three years!
Now, you still dare to call . What, do you think driving us out wasn’t enough, you want to completely annihilate us, is that it?
Then co! I’m right here waiting for you. Anyone who’s afraid is a coward!!"
The tone was very strong, as if he were truly fearless.
But if you listened carefully, you’d notice he didn’t ntion where he was waiting, evidently showing that even after three years, he was still scared.
Yan Hao took a deep breath, his voice choked as he said, "Brother Xie, my brother, they’re already, already dead."
"What!"
Xie Ming nearly jumped, "What did you say? Say it again."
"My brother, Brother Fang, and Brother Ma, they’re all dead."
Tears flowed uncontrollably from Yan Hao’s eyes.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Laughter erupted from the other end of the call.
Xie Ming pounded his leg and said, "Good! Good! Yan Hao, your brother and his group deserved to die long ago! Tell , how did they die? Were they killed by fierce beasts or other Awakeners?"
"Brother Xie, the deceased are to be honored. Even if my brother and the others wronged you in the past, they’re dead now. Shouldn’t the past grudges be written off?" Yan Hao said, grief-stricken.
"Written off? Utter nonsense!"
Xie Ming cursed, "He drove out of Anshan City, threw into holessness, and I suffered greatly. My children were killed by fierce beasts. Now, you say they’re dead and expect these hatreds to disappear? Is that possible? No, no wait."
He suddenly realized sothing, his face changed, he said, "If your brother and the others were truly dead, why would you tell this? I know, your brother isn’t dead, is he?
Yan Hao, you brothers haven’t changed a bit, always so sneaky and deceitful. You called to set a trap, didn’t you? Attract over and ambush ?
Well, dream on! I, Xie Ming, am not that easily fooled!"
With that, he hung up the phone.
"???"
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Yan Hao was stunned.
