I have a city in another world

Chapter 7060 The Visitor with a Generous Gift

In times of great chaos, many talented individuals emerge, each with their own unique and ingenious methods.

Not everyone is willing to be recruited by the community; they have different choices.

Some of the strongest chose to hide in the wilderness, concealing themselves among the refugees, remaining unknown to others until one day they would rise to prominence.

However, such strong individuals are ultimately a very small minority. When one can enjoy happiness, no one would willingly suffer every day.

In the chaotic wasteland, only the strong can control more resources; this is an indisputable truth.

This small settlement, located in the center of an abandoned city and home to many powerful individuals, has attracted considerable attention from various factions.

The mountain city is now a hotbed of tension, and a major battle could break out at any moment.

In this situation, even the smallest mistake could lead to total defeat.

The mountain town settlement had previously devised a plan to first recruit refugees and then use violence and coercion.

The former continued to enjoy benefits, while the latter were in a semi-slavery state and needed to be subject to militarized management.

The purpose of this is to make outsiders see clearly the price that must be paid to fight against the mountain city settlement.

Another purpose was to eliminate potential hazards and prevent urban ruins from becoming a breeding ground for filth and corruption.

Such a city ruin could easily conceal a large number of enemies, and they could gather at any time to launch an attack on the mountain city settlement.

To avoid this possibility, urban ruins should live up to their name and become truly deserted ruins.

Anyone who tries to resist will be killed without mercy!

Other forces also wanted to investigate the background of Tang Zhen and his group and find out where they came from.

Whether it's courting, cooperating, or backing away, there needs to be a solution.

They were also aware that it might not be long before the mountain city settlement would take action.

We cannot sit idly by and wait for our demise; we must take action as soon as possible.

On this day, a group of people arrived at the gathering place.

“I come from the Mutual Aid Alliance and would like to meet your leader to discuss something extremely important.”

The man at the head was wearing a combat uniform that was neither new nor old, and a protective vest over it.

This vest is made of synthetic materials and looks like leather, but it has quite good protective capabilities.

It can withstand attacks from melee weapons, small-caliber bullets, and shrapnel, ensuring the wearer's safety.

Protective gear like this was not uncommon before the disaster and was standard equipment for police officers.

However, with the outbreak of war, the manufacturers ceased to exist, and the civilian reserves were also depleted due to the war and various other reasons.

These protective gears are now extremely expensive and are not something that ordinary survivors can afford.

In the wilderness, such a set of protective gear can sometimes serve as proof of identity.

The guards sized up the group of unfamiliar visitors with a wary look in their eyes.

We received prior notification that many powerful groups might come to visit, and all such individuals were to be refused entry.

No matter what the other party says, you don't need to pay attention to it; you just need to resolutely carry out the orders.

"I'm sorry, we do not accept any visits. Please leave immediately."

The captain in charge of guarding the gathering place had a warm smile on his face, but his attitude was unusually firm.

Such a decisive refusal displeased the group of visitors.

However, they came here on an important mission and will certainly not give up easily.

Faced with a clear rejection, the man in combat gear smiled slightly and said confidently, "I have brought a lot of cultivation resources with me this time, and I believe your leader will be very interested."

The captain of the guards, who was about to refuse again, paused slightly upon hearing this, then looked at the visitor with a solemn gaze. He was a martial artist, but his strength was only average. To advance further, he not only needed sufficient talent, but also to persevere in arduous training, and to utilize various rare and precious materials.

Some of these rare and precious materials can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and can also help martial artists break through their limitations and reach higher realms.

In order to obtain resources for spiritual practice, practitioners often spare no expense and are capable of doing anything.

Major organizations often rely on cultivation resources to win over powerful individuals, and this method has an immediate effect.

Faced with the cultivation resources offered to him, the captain of the guards still hesitated, even though he had been clearly informed beforehand.

Should we let them know?
He knew very well that obtaining a batch of cultivation resources would be extremely beneficial to the development of the settlement.

The ten men and women who followed Tang Zhen made rapid progress in their strength, changing almost every day.

Such a rapid increase in speed has made everyone extremely envious.

If there were additional cultivation resources to assist in daily cultivation, wouldn't the speed of improvement be even faster?
Actually, he had some other thoughts in his mind, hoping that he would also have the opportunity to obtain cultivation resources.

Seeing others improve their skills naturally fills one with envy, and one also longs to make progress in the same way.

This resource for spiritual practice gave him a glimmer of hope.

Although I know in my heart that there is no such thing as a free lunch, I still want to try my best.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and find out for you."

The captain of the guards made up his mind that even if he was reprimanded, he would fight for this cultivation resource.

Whether for public or private reasons, he was doing good deeds.

Upon entering the building, he came to a room where a communication device was installed.

The device acts as a communication hub, connecting with other survivors' devices and enabling its use in the abandoned city.

The team leader informed Tang Zhen about the visitor's arrival and the fact that he had brought cultivation resources as gifts, and asked if Tang Zhen should treat him differently.

His actions cannot be described as a violation of regulations, but rather as a special case handled in a special way.

Tang Zhen received the message and quickly replied with a single sentence.

"Make them wait."

At the entrance to the gathering place, the group of visitors, upon hearing the reply, once again showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

It's quite audacious of a small settlement leader to dare make them wait.

"If we reveal our identities, the leader of this settlement will probably be scared out of his wits and run over here in a panic!"

One of the visitors spoke with a disdainful tone, his words brimming with confidence in his status.

"Be careful what you say. Don't say a single word that you shouldn't, especially about our identities."

The visitor leader, dressed in combat gear, warned everyone in a cold tone, but everyone could see that he was indeed very dissatisfied.

The leader of this settlement is likely to be in trouble, because he has offended a powerful cultivator.

The leader of the visitors was not a martial artist, but an extraordinary cultivator who possessed incredibly powerful abilities.

The purpose of this trip to the city ruins was to carry out a secret mission; otherwise, why would I condescend to hide my identity and visit a settlement leader?

Before arriving here, he had traveled to many places and secretly gathered many survivor organizations through coercion and enticement.

However, these organizations are not publicly connected to each other, in order to avoid causing more trouble.

When needed, a single call to arms can transform them into a powerful army.

Don't underestimate these survivors; most of them are experienced and in no way inferior to soldiers in the army.

With the right equipment and proper command, it could produce unexpected results.

Although this group of survivors was initially positioned as cannon fodder, they still had to make the most of their value.
