I have a city in another world

Chapter 7063 Solution
In the ruins near the settlement, scouts were secretly watching and observing the survivors' every move.

Those recruiters from the evil faction, having been publicly humiliated by Tang Zhen, will certainly not let this go.

After they left, they immediately sent people to keep watch in secret, preparing for their next move.

The spies in the mountain town settlement were also secretly watching, listing this settlement as a highly suspicious target.

Compared to other survivors, this settlement's behavior was indeed unusual, making it a key area for monitoring.

Perhaps they felt that dangerous enemies were lurking in Tang Zhen's settlement.

Once the operation begins, this place will likely become the primary target, and those ruthless individuals may very well kill everyone.

Tang Zhen did not order his men to drive away the spy, but instead chose to ignore them.

Like flies, they may be annoying, but they don't hinder getting things done.

To outsiders, the people in the settlement seemed to be doing strange things, building pillars or walls and stuffing wild grass into the cracks between the stones.

Those unaware of the facts might think it's about building a manor, using stones for landscaping and decoration.

Some also suspect that this is the construction of defensive fortifications in preparation for a possible battle.

But upon closer inspection, something seemed off; these didn't resemble combat bunkers at all.

Outsiders became increasingly confused, unable to understand what was going on.

The people in the community were also confused, wondering what the point of doing this was.

However, they still followed the requirements and constructed the layout according to the blueprints. In order to complete the project as soon as possible, they chose to work late into the night to ensure that there were always people working on the project.

The current situation is causing great anxiety among the people, who fear that disaster may strike at any moment.

Tang Zhen was also busy, using monster blood essence and other materials to mix ink for drawing runes.

In the completed area, they used animal whiskers to make brushes and outlined unique written symbols.

Everyone was curious and would glance at it every now and then, but they couldn't understand its specific meaning at all.

However, one could sense that as the runes were continuously drawn, the surrounding air gradually became viscous.

It seemed as if a force was continuously approaching from all directions, gathering near these newly built stone structures.

When you get close, it gives you a feeling that is either cool from the bone, or a sudden surge of heat in your heart, or dizziness and multiple illusions in front of your eyes.

This bizarre situation surprised and delighted everyone, and their gazes toward Tang Zhen were filled with awe.

The ten members who had condensed their spiritual veins felt this even more clearly, and even sensed an inexplicable threat of death.

The immediate results boosted everyone's motivation, and the renovation was completed in less than three days according to the blueprints.

The area surrounding the gathering place has been completely transformed, resembling a strange maze.

The various shaped piles of stones, with wild grass filling the gaps, did not wither or die after being transplanted; instead, they grew vigorously and were full of vitality.

Strange runes are drawn on the surface of the stones, which are hidden by grass, giving them a mysterious and eerie feel.

That strange power surrounded the gathering place, becoming increasingly clear to people, and at the same time, it gave them a feeling that perhaps before long, an amazing change would occur.

More and more people believe that Tang Zhen is a cultivator with considerable strength.

Strangely, no one ever saw Tang Zhen use any extraordinary magic, and his fighting style was just like that of a martial artist.

That evening, the guards witnessed a strange sight.

A hazy mist rose from the middle of the pile of stones and grew thicker.

Amidst the mist, shimmering will-o'-the-wisps could be seen, along with some figures that seemed to be drawn by a summons. They leaped out from the distant ruins and plunged into the thick fog without hesitation.

"Ignore it!"

Those responsible for guarding the area should be notified in advance and should not panic if they see anything unusual.

Otherwise, they would have already fired warning shots and killed any approaching dangers by now. The outwardly silent guards were secretly terrified; they were almost certain that those who entered the fog were monsters.

Tang Zhen must have done something to attract so many monsters. If they were to attack, it would be a terrible thing.

Since Tang Zhen dared to do it, he must have a way to deal with it, so there's no need to worry.

I was worried all night, but by dawn, nothing unusual had happened.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief, while the people who had just woken up were shocked by what they saw and couldn't understand what had happened.

Then came the sound of knocking, very clear in the ruins of the city in the early morning; it was the signal for a meeting to begin.

Upon arriving at the designated location, the group gathered together and began discussing the changes in their surroundings.

As they were discussing this, Tang Zhen walked over, followed by ten cultivators.

The auras of the ten cultivators grew increasingly powerful, drawing envy from the onlookers.

They also wanted to cultivate, but unfortunately they lacked the talent and spiritual roots, so they could only learn some martial arts techniques.

Although diligent practice can lead to becoming a martial artist, there is ultimately an upper limit, making them incomparable to those who are extraordinary.

However, not every cultivator has the perseverance to take the final step.

Like gold being sifted from sand, only the elite and strong remain, while the vast majority of mediocre people are eliminated.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Tang Zhen began to explain the precautions, which were related to the arrangement of the area around the gathering place.

"As you can all see, there is now a lingering mist between the stones you have built outside."

I can tell you, it's extremely dangerous inside; you'll certainly die if you go in.

But don't worry, that's a tactic prepared for the enemy. As long as you don't enter it, you won't encounter any danger.

If you go out, there will be a special passage, but it changes every day, and you will need internal assistance to get back in…”

Listening to Tang Zhen's explanation, everyone's eyes lit up; they hadn't expected the setup to be so impressive.

With these protective measures in place, enemies cannot easily get close, and they can be much safer.

However, some people are still worried that the barrier will not be able to stop guns and cannons, and that the enemy can launch attacks from a distance.

Artillery bombardment or other firearms could severely damage this small settlement.

If necessary, aircraft and missiles could even be used for attacks.

Dealing with a survivor's stronghold might not require such a large-scale operation, but it's essential to understand that the enemy possesses the means and capabilities to do so.

Some people hesitated for a moment, but still raised relevant questions, hoping that Tang Zhen could answer them.

If they don't understand, they will all feel uneasy.

"Don't worry, those guns and cannons won't reach here."

When questioned by the crowd, Tang Zhen gave a clear response, but did not explain the specific principles behind it.

He wouldn't explain it, either out of courtesy or reason, because it involved important secrets.

This group of ordinary members only need to know the result.

Everyone was both surprised and delighted. Although they couldn't understand how this was possible, they were truly relieved.

They were increasingly in awe and admiration for Tang Zhen's methods, feeling the excitement of casually buying a lottery ticket and winning a million-dollar prize.

If everything is as Tang Zhen said, then they might actually be able to weather the threat from the two major powers.

When doing something, one needs to consider the costs and returns; this applies to both individuals and organizations.

If you encounter a heavy stone while walking and cannot kick it away, the most likely course of action is to go around it.
