In Cloud Gorge Base today, the streets have beco unusually lively. An hour ago, people flocked to the avenues, watching the buildings’ screens, weeping with joy. This was all because of the announcent of the eleventh eting of the council, which declared that Cloud Gorge Base would reestablish law, and the lives of the weak would be protected. No longer would they have to worry about their lives being taken at any mont.
Trucks filled with building materials constantly passed by the crowd, heading toward the zombie defense wall. More soldiers patrolled the streets than usual, and many weapon shops have opened up in Shanhe District; not just rcenary groups and so military units, but civilians could now use weapons and learn the basic thods to operate them.
People found it sowhat unbelievable because it was a mad venture. In this massive Sanctuary City, the sense of freedom grew, and at the sa ti, people felt the looming giant shadow over everyone’s head even clearer, especially after witnessing the entire process of the eleventh eting, many realized that their ti was running out.
From above, looking down at the city from Sky Continent, large numbers of construction workers hollowed out the middle of the zombie defense wall, the noise of the machinery breaking rocks could be heard even up on the Sky Continent.
With the machinery operational, a large volu of dark red liquid was injected into the zombie defense wall, and Tang Ye could tell, those slowly moving fluids were at least Level 9 liquefied H-Steel.
"Are those guys really cooperating?" Tang Ye was sowhat surprised, especially after finding out about that so-called eleventh council eting.
To his understanding of the council mbers, no one should agree to such a pure act of charity, yet there were indeed people doing it. Even if the zombie defense wall was reinforced entirely with Level 9 H-Steel, the cost would be astronomical. After all, Cloud Gorge Base was the only double S-ranked Human Sanctuary City, and the zombie defense wall that enclosed such a vast city was enough to intimidate anyone.
Once the zombie defense wall is truly reinforced, it’s likely that at least half of the Level 8 New Humans’ fortune in Cloud Gorge Base would be drained! Yet, they agreed to it, which Tang Ye found puzzling, perhaps they truly realized sothing and chose not to feign ignorance any longer.
Besides those sweating heatedly for the reinforcent of the zombie defense wall, Tang Ye also noticed large numbers of soldiers equipped with exoskeleton suits coming out in batches. From what he understood, this seed to be for the purpose of clearing zombies in the wasteland cities surrounding Cloud Gorge Base.
Of course, there were other things, like establishing a network with other survivor bases and popularizing military education among all. Collectively, these ford part of a grand plan, nad "Spirit Rain Plan."
However, apart from the "Spirit Rain Plan," there was another plan. Unlike the detailed description of the "Spirit Rain Plan," this other plan didn’t have much elaboration, but people didn’t care about this. The vast majority were focused on the "Spirit Rain Plan."
This project was called the "Spirit Rain Plan," like "Spirit Rain Plan," it was also brought up by Su Sigui, but the forr only had a na, and no one knew or understood what it was actually about.
Tang Ye’s attention, however, was centred on the "Spirit Rain Plan." As a zombie controller, he innately felt that this plan seed very unfriendly towards him, leading him to think of that strange liquid that could dissolve Level 8 zombies.
A huge transport vehicle hauling a gigantic machine over four ters in length drove down the road, attracting curious looks from onlookers, who wondered about the machine’s purpose.
At that mont, Tang Ye sensed sothing but did not turn around.
"I shouldn’t be noticeable, right? Better be confident," he muttered to himself, then continued to observe everything in the city below as if nothing had happened.
A delicate white hand appeared, resting on the railing not far from Tang Ye.
"It’s been a while."
"You must be busy with all these things."
"It’s alright, sotis I like to enjoy the scenery here."
"Uh, this is a coincidence, but it really is a good spot for admiring the view."
"Thanks for last ti; I might have reached my end if it wasn’t for you."
"Haha~" Tang Ye laughed awkwardly, slightly reluctant to look at the other person, but luckily, she wasn’t looking at him either.
"You’ve changed a lot these past days." Sensing the atmosphere between himself and Su Sigui getting a little awkward, Tang Ye quickly changed the subject. He wasn’t blind, and even a blind person would notice the qualitative change in Su Sigui. It was an ascension toward a higher level of life!
"Alright, no more pretending, we’re not fools. How much longer are you going to hide?"
"What am I hiding?"
Su Sigui turned to look at Tang Ye, and the next second, she furrowed her brows. Tang Ye looked very strange, not quite human, but not a zombie either. Of course, this was a very one-sided way to put it; aside from the strange color, Su Sigui could feel sothing different about Tang Ye.
It seed like he was missing sothing, that’s probably the best way to describe it.
"Repose or Anti-Host? Perhaps a zombie controller and normal people are sowhat different." She pondered internally, but the expression in her eyes caused Tang Ye to narrow his own. He couldn’t be sure of Su Sigui’s thoughts. Compared to others, it was harder to predict Su Sigui, a transmigrator given a second chance at life. Who knew what she had been through, and if she could directly guess that he was a zombie?
If that were the case, then Tang Ye might have no choice but to turn hostile. Of course, there might also be another possibility.
Su Sigui thought for a mont, and eventually pressed down her doubts, then uttered a strange thought: "You don’t seem like soone naive, or perhaps you have a deeper side?"
Hearing this, Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and, trying to be lighthearted, responded: "Alright, I won’t pretend anymore, is laying my cards out on the table enough for you?"
Su Sigui shook her head, then turned to look down below.
"Your approach is different from what I expected," Tang Ye said, his expression turning serious as he saw Su Sigui’s response.
"Umm... I just wanted to give them a chance. Things don’t need to be too absolute sotis, as sotis a single opportunity might bring significant enlightennt."
"You seem rather saintly."
"This isn’t being saintly; I’m just trying to salvage sothing."
"Alright, let’s not talk about this, by the way, you didn’t evolve to Level 9 before, did you?"
"No."
"Then who was that original Level 9 New Human? Who is he?"
"You don’t need to know him. He’s just a dead man, that’s all."
