I have a city in another world

Chapter 7061 The Annoying Visitor

After waiting for some time, until the sun was about to set, the hunting party returned together.

They continued pushing the vehicle, which was loaded with various monster corpses and emitted a pungent, bloody smell.

The survivors in the city's settlement had witnessed this scene many times and were already used to it.

However, to outsiders, this scene was somewhat astonishing, completely inconsistent with the condition of a small settlement.

Ordinary small settlements simply do not possess this kind of combat power, and they avoid monsters like the plague.

The man in combat gear was secretly alarmed, realizing that the strength of this small settlement might need to be reassessed.

Although ultimately they all share the fate of becoming cannon fodder, the price of bribery varies depending on their strength.

These cultivators, who possess some skills but aren't particularly strong, are often more difficult to recruit.

Relying on their skills and having ambitions that don't match their abilities, they often demand higher prices.

However, it doesn't matter. If we can achieve our goal, it's only right to pay some price.

The survivors she recruits are often those who have the life to earn money, but not the life to spend it.

Since the survivors accepted the recruitment and participated in the operation, their lives were now in the hands of fate, and everything depended on their strength and luck.

Whether others live or die is none of his business.

As the leader of the visitors pondered to himself, he saw a handsome man walk up to them and glance at them with indifferent eyes.

The man possessed an extraordinary air about him; he didn't look like a cultivator, yet he gave off a peculiar feeling.

It's as if those calm eyes can see through everything in the world, and no secret can be hidden from them.

Looking closely behind, the ten men and women exuding a sharp aura were all cultivators who had condensed their spiritual veins.

Such a formidable lineup made the visitors take notice, abandoning their initial disdain and becoming more serious.

The male leader, in particular, had previously relied on his status as an extraordinary cultivator and harbored a condescending attitude.

But at this moment, he realized that his identity as a cultivator might not be as intimidating as he had imagined.

However, the powerful forces behind him still gave him enough confidence to carry out his mission with ease.

"Are you all aware that you are facing imminent disaster?"

His opening remarks were astonishing.

He glanced at Tang Zhen and the others, then continued, "In the next few days, the mountain city settlement will begin operations to clear the city ruins."

All survivors, including you, will be affected; they will either be killed or enslaved, forced to work day and night until they die from exhaustion!

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with different expressions.

Some people's expressions changed slightly, some remained expressionless, and some felt fear and unease.

In the eyes of the survivors, the mountain city settlement was a behemoth, an entity they could not afford to offend.

The thought that such a force was about to attack him naturally filled him with fear.

If you observe carefully, you will find that most of the fearful are ordinary survivors, while those with strength remain calm.

This threat seems to have been completely disregarded.

Such a calm response left the visitors puzzled, as it was completely different from what they had expected.

The survivors I had previously spoken to were all visibly terrified when they heard the news.

They were well aware that the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and they simply could not be their opponent.

Driven by the desire to save their lives and the lure of profit, many chose to join the cooperative organization.

The recruitment process went exceptionally smoothly.

But at this moment, everyone had a feeling that the recruitment at this gathering place would not go smoothly.

As expected, upon hearing this threatening remark, Tang Zhen remained silent and turned to walk towards the building in front of him.

"see a visitor out."

A single, understated sentence brought the meeting to a close.

The group of men and women who followed Tang Zhen turned and left without hesitation, without questioning his orders.

"Take care, and we won't see you off." The guards simply told the guests to leave.

No one would question Tang Zhen's decision; since he didn't want to negotiate, there was no need to waste any more time.

The group of visitors were stunned. They had imagined all sorts of scenarios, but they never expected to be so embarrassed.

After waiting for ages, we barely exchanged a few words before being kicked out.

How dare that damn guy be so arrogant?
The man leading the group was both angry and anxious, and wished he could rush forward and argue with them.

In the past, given his strength and abilities, he could certainly have done that.

The strategy of first using diplomacy and then resorting to force is one of the means to resolve problems.

But in these city ruins, in this small settlement, he no longer had the courage to act recklessly.

If this happens, it could come at a terrible cost.

He wouldn't give up easily; the more problematic the organization, the more he wanted to win it over.

If he successfully wins them over, not only will the operation proceed more smoothly and he will receive a reward, but he will also have the opportunity to eliminate this group of people who displease him.

"I can provide you with cultivation resources, find a powerful backer, and provide the weapons, equipment, and food you want."

"Whatever you want, I can provide it. Isn't that enough sincerity?"

He uttered these words with a hint of confusion in his voice, because there were some questions he didn't understand.

What gives this group of survivors the confidence to refuse the olive branch I'm extending?

Unable to understand the answer, he was unwilling to give up.

However, the departing figure was resolute and did not pause because of these words.

"Damn it!"

Some people muttered curses under their breath, feeling their faces burning with embarrassment.

Making a fool of oneself in front of a group of survivors is indeed a very upsetting thing, making them want to shoot and kill.

However, such things can only be thought about; no one dares to actually do them.

Because many cold gun barrels are hidden both in the open and in the shadows, ready to fire at any moment.

If they dare to make a move, they might be riddled with bullet holes before the bullets are even fired.

Knowing that there are hidden dangers, we certainly cannot take any more risks, lest we lose our lives needlessly.

Despite a thousand reasons to be unwilling, at this moment one can only choose to endure and then make further plans.

"Let's go back first."

The man in combat uniform turned and left with a gloomy expression, followed by a group of his subordinates.

At the same time, the people following behind Tang Zhen also harbored their own doubts.

They couldn't understand why Tang Zhen had refused so decisively, not giving the other party a chance to speak at all.

The various supplies mentioned earlier are indeed tempting, and they are exactly what they urgently need right now.

The most crucial point is the threat posed by the mountain town settlement; it can truly be deadly.

The thought of an apocalyptic scenario where an army was pressing in and there was no way to resist filled everyone with dread and unease.

This group of people who took the initiative to come to my door and offered all kinds of supplies were definitely not trying to do good deeds or save lives, but rather had some unknown purpose.

The saying "If you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems" is the main reason why people remain cautious.

What if these guys make some difficult requests? Should we do it or not?

Knowing what everyone was thinking, Tang Zhen simply said something.

"Behind them are demonic cultivators. They may have the life to earn this money, but they may not have the life to spend it."

The crowd, who were still feeling regretful, heartbroken, and hesitant, were startled upon hearing this.

Compared to the mountain city settlement, they were more afraid of the demonic cultivators, a group of truly ruthless killers.

Cooperating with evil cultivators is tantamount to seeking help from a tiger, and one's life is always in danger.

If the mountain town community finds out, there is no chance of survival.
