Chapter 500 The storm is coming

Sun City.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the streets that were once busy with traffic were all blocked.

Fully armed soldiers formed a human wall to isolate all the people outside.

After the news of the ancient rift was passed back to Sun City, this central core of human logistics had already been sealed off.

All people were only allowed to enter, not leave.

All shops in the city were restricted from operating except for the necessities of daily life.

The streets were full of patrolling soldiers.

The whole city was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

In a spacious office, a group of senior officials from the logistics gang sat together, discussing something fiercely.

"I've already said that we can't be so anxious to seal off the city! Now, the news of the Northern Expedition has been cut off, and we don't know what the situation is on the front line. Should we take action or not?"

"Why are we still discussing whether to take action or not? Crossing Yaoguang City and sealing off the four main cities is enough to be considered a treason. Suntou, let's quickly lift the seal on the city, otherwise when Lin Yuan comes back, he will definitely not let us go!"

"Yes, Suntou, we can't wait for news from the front line. The Ancient Rift will only be open for seven days at most. The first day is about to pass. If we deduct the day of the return journey, we only have five days left!"

"If we pack up now, , there is still time to escape!"

"Escape! The demon tribe was so powerful back then, but they were all dealt with by Lin Yuan. Where can we run? To me, the city closure is a serious matter, but it is also a trivial matter."

"As long as we find a suitable excuse, we may be able to get away with it."

"The status of our logistics gang in the Demon Slaying Division is improving every day. The positions you sit in now are what you never dared to think of before. Why bother to fight again?"

"It's better to be a rich and idle person for a lifetime, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, why do we have to fight to the death? Our future life will only get better and better. There is no need to take this risk."

Bang!

A big hole was punched out of the round table in the conference room.

"Enough!"

A loud shout with full of energy stopped the commotion in the conference room.

Sun Xiangtian coldly swept through the crowd, until no one dared to look at him, then slowly said, "A lifelong rich idler?"

"Have you forgotten that in the battle of the demon tide, we almost emptied our own family to provide enough supplies to the front line."

"But in the end, what did we get?"

"You all look like dogs, what do you rely on? Don't you have any idea at all?"

"If I hadn't led you to fight and fight desperately, you pigs would have what you have today?"

"Still thinking about a life of wealth..."

"This time, the Demon Slayer Division has mobilized all the troops that can be mobilized! When Lin Yuan comes back from the ancient continent, I don't know how many Sun Cities he will have in his hands!"

"By then, what use will those ridiculous crystal cores in our hands have?"

A group of logistics officials all lowered their heads in shame, not daring to argue with Sun Xiangtian at all.

Anyone who has some ability has been transferred away by Lin Yuan or split up over the years. The remaining guys are either related to the top management of the logistics gang or rely on bragging to get to the top.

As for real ability, there is none at all.

If Sun Xiangtian had not been strong enough, the so-called logistics gang would have been killed long ago.

When Sun Xiangtian thought about having to lead this group of good-for-nothings to plot big things, he couldn't stop being angry.

He suppressed the anger in his chest and took a deep breath.

After a long time, he calmed down.

Sun Xiangtian said slowly, "Don't hold on to those naive fantasies."

"From the moment the city was closed, we have no way back."

"You, either follow me to the end and share the glory and wealth."

"Or, just disappear from my sight, go to spend money and drink, or go to eat and wait for death, in five days, just wait for heads to fall and blood to flow!"

The meeting room suddenly became quiet.

You can hear a pin drop.

Although these subordinates who followed Sun Xiangtian were not capable, they also understood the boss's implication when the words came to this point.

As long as you dare to leave today, no matter whether the logistics help wins or loses this time, they will not have a good result when the autumn comes to settle accounts.

On one side is 100% death, and on the other side is a ray of hope.

Such a choice question is actually very easy to do.

Seeing that no one left and no one dared to mention running away, Sun Xiangtian waved his hand irritably and dismissed everyone.

He pulled these idiots here just to set the tone for everyone and give them a warning.

If you really want to succeed, you can't discuss with these insects.

The crowd left the meeting room one by one with their tails between their legs.

An invisible force closed the door.

At the same time, it closed everything around and temporarily blocked the meeting room.

"Your subordinates seem..."

"They don't agree with you..."

A voice without any emotion suddenly sounded behind Sun Xiangtian.

But he didn't seem surprised at all.

Instead, he turned around respectfully and bowed his head to the man who suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Lord Shadow."

"I'm sorry to embarrass you."

A strange man with bandages all over his body slowly sat down in the position that originally belonged to Sun Xiangtian.

"I have obtained the latest intelligence from the front line. Lin Yuan has led all the troops through the ancient rift."

"There is no ambush, no trap."

"He seems to have it in his hands. You dare not do it."

Shadow crossed his hands and placed them on the table. His deep and indifferent eyes looked at Sun Xiangtian with interest.

"So..."

"Our acting city lord."

"Can you tell me whether Lin Yuan guessed right or wrong?"

Sun Xiangtian bit his back teeth hard and clenched his fists behind his back.

The gradually rapid breathing also exposed his inner struggle.

Although he said it with great righteousness just now, he still hesitated when it really came to that step.

Some things, once done, there is really no turning back.

If you fail, you will die.

"Master Shadow... May I ask, is the information from the Symbiosis Society reliable?" Sun Xiangtian observed Shadow from the corner of his eye, trying to get some additional information from his body movements.

"The information was sent by Shadow Moon Pavilion, do you think it is reliable?" Shadow did not get angry at the questioning, but teased as if joking.

"Then... could it be false information deliberately sent by Shadow Moon Pavilion?"

"After all, Shadow Moon Pavilion has been controlled by Zhong Peipei for many years. If you really want to pass some information from the inside, it is still very difficult."

Sun Xiangtian asked with some concern.

"The information was given to us by Pavilion Master Zhong." Shadow's lips wrapped in bandages trembled slightly, as if he wanted to squeeze out a sarcastic smile.

"Zhong Peipei..."

"I have always been a member of the [Symbiosis Society]."
