#338 - Chapter 338 Can You Represent Us?
Hua Country, Ganlan Province, Gold City.
“Son, Shen Tu Zheng Hao has returned from Wu Lan Country.” A subordinate reported.
“Oh? So fast? What a bunch of good-for-nothings, how many days did they even last?” Ling Luo mocked upon hearing the subordinate's report.
“The battle report says they conquered Wu Lan Country's capital, Bato City, in just two and a half days.” The subordinate replied.
“I said it before, they definitely couldn't do it this way. Hua Country has always had zero tolerance for invaders; trying to brute force it is simply unrealistic. If you want to take Hua Country, you can only work from the inside.” Ling Luo said.
“The Son is wise. Should we avoid the limelight next?” The subordinate asked.
“That won't be necessary. Remember what I said, it doesn't matter how big a commotion you make, but you can't let people know we exist.” Ling Luo instructed.
“Understood.” The subordinate responded.
… …
Wu Lan Country border, Yakutsk City.
Ling Tian waited at the train station for three days, and the train finally arrived.
“Master!” Ling Tian saw his master arrive and quickly paid his respects.
“Ling Tian, what are you doing here?” His master asked.
“Master… our plan failed!” Ling Tian replied dejectedly.
“What? Failed? I arranged three animal legions and several thousand cyborgs for you. You couldn't even hold out for a few days?” The master was furious.
“Master, we underestimated Hua Country's strength.” Ling Tian offered as an excuse.
“Where is Ling Su?” The master ignored his excuse.
“Junior Sister she… was captured.” Ling Tian said awkwardly, head lowered.
“What? You're simply useless! You couldn't even protect your junior sister!” The master's anger intensified.
“Master, please punish me! It's all my fault, all my fault!” Ling Tian knelt on the ground, hugged his master's leg, and burst into tears, his face covered in snot and tears.
“What about the people you captured? Were they also rescued?” The master asked, looking at the rotting corpses lying scattered around.
“Yes!” Ling Tian nodded while crying.
“Sigh! You're truly more than capable of spoiling things! I ask you, how did Hua Country know those people were being held here?” The master asked.
“Master, I don't know! When I arrived here, it was already like this.” Ling Tian replied.
“Then how are you alright?” The master asked with disdain.
“Bato City was captured, and Ling Su was caught. I secretly took a plane to get here, wanting to quickly transfer the people to North Yakutsk. But when I arrived, there were corpses everywhere, and the people had already been rescued. I've been waiting here for you to come.” Ling Tian explained.
He lied, not mentioning that Ling Su was captured here. Because if he said that, he wouldn't be able to hide his own capture.
“Get up, what's with all the crying!” The master looked down at him and said.
“Oh!” Ling Tian wiped away his tears and stood up from the ground.
He knew that he had passed this hurdle.
Since the Hua Country people they had captured had already been rescued, there was no point in them staying. So, he took Ling Tian back on the train and returned to Kultak.

August 27, 2055, 10:00 AM.
The heads of the four resettlement areas under the jurisdiction of Gold City, Ganlan Province: Shichuan Resettlement Area, Shifo Resettlement Area, Hekou Resettlement Area, and Chenjing Resettlement Area, gathered together in Hekou Ancient Town, where the Hekou Resettlement Area is located.
“Everyone, I've called you here today to discuss something.” Gold City Mayor Bo Qing said.
In addition to serving as the mayor of Gold City, Bo Qing is also the head of the Hekou Resettlement Area.
“Mayor Bo, just give us your orders, and we'll follow your arrangements!” Pan Rong of Chenjing Resettlement Area flattered.
The heads of the remaining two resettlement areas secretly glanced at him without saying a word.
“Bootlicker! Can you represent us?” The two cursed in their hearts.
Bo Qing saw this scene but didn't reveal anything.
“Hahaha, Team Leader Pan, you're still so impatient. This matter really needs to be discussed with you all; I can't do it alone.” Bo Qing said with a smile.
“Mayor Bo, what exactly is it?” You Bei of Shichuan Resettlement Area asked.
“Then I'll be direct. We established the resettlement areas last year, dividing the people of Gold City into four, in order to block the spread of the virus as much as possible and protect the lives and property of the people. Now the situation is different. The zombies in Gold City have all been wiped out by people from the Northwest Military Region, and everyone is wearing mosquito repellent bracelets. In this case, the virus is almost impossible to spread on a large scale again.” Bo Qing paused at this point.
The heads of the other three resettlement areas frowned, and no one said a word. Even Pan Rong, who had just been flattering, lowered his head, his eyes darting left and right.
Clearly, the three of them smelled something was wrong.
“So I plan… to move the people back to Gold City.” Bo Qing deliberately emphasized his idea.
“What!?” The three said in unison.
“I disagree! It's too risky!” You Bei of Shichuan Resettlement Area directly stated his position.
