Fifteen minutes have passed in the blink of an eye.

The area below the city gate was so crowded that not even a bird, let alone a fly, could get in.

The nearly 30-meter-high city wall made many people's necks stiff from looking up.

Even so, people would still glance up from time to time to see when the main character would appear.

Suddenly, the noise vanished without a trace.

Because several figures had appeared on the city gate at some unknown time, standing out conspicuously among the uniformed guards around them.

"Yes, it's the Awakened One!"

I don't know who said it.

Splash!

The crowd knelt down in droves. In less than three seconds, forty to fifty thousand people were kneeling on the ground, their eyes fixed on the earth below, not daring to utter a sound.

This applies even to three- or four-year-old children.

The D-level Awakened on the city wall exchanged glances upon seeing this, their eyes revealing a smug look.

To ordinary people, they are gods!

The person in the lead was none other than Hua Jun.

Looking at the tens of thousands of people kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

This is what an Awakened One is like—possessing the power of life and death over ordinary people. To put it bluntly, even if he were to kill hundreds or thousands of people right now in front of them, no one else would dare to do anything to him.

However, when a stern-faced figure appeared in his mind, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He had a vague premonition that if he let it go, the chairman would definitely not let him off the hook once he got the news.

"cough."

Li Ping coughed and said, "Get up, everyone."

The crowd below was stunned.

It was as if he hadn't heard clearly, or as if he had, but didn't dare to.

"Are you all deaf? The chairman told you to get up!"

"The next awakened one shouted loudly."

The sound echoed throughout the area, and only then did everyone stand up tremblingly, looking at the few people on the city wall with uneasy expressions.

"I've called you all here today to announce something that will be great news for you," Hua Jun said.

The crowd below looked at each other, their faces filled with suspicion.

Their feelings towards the Awakened were mostly fear; they didn't expect to gain any benefits from them. They would be grateful if the Awakened in the city didn't cause them any trouble.

The great thing that the chairman on the city wall was talking about might not actually be a great thing for them.

"Before I say anything more, I want you all to remember one person: Chairman Li of our Awakened Association. Got it?"

There was a moment of silence on the field, followed by a few scattered sounds.

"Yes, I understand, Chairman Li."

"President Li."

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember him yet, because in a little while, you will remember him from the bottom of your hearts."

Hua Jun's gaze swept over everyone from left to right.

Under his gaze, everyone, young and old, trembled in fear, including Lin Hui and his group.

"Alright, now I'll get down to business. Listen carefully, all of you. From now on, none of you will have to live outside the city."

"What! We don't have to live outside the city anymore?"

"If I don't live outside the city, where will I live?"

"Is the student council president going to kick us out?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if the sky had fallen.

Many of them had to go through all their savings to gain a foothold in the villages outside.

But now, the awakened ones in the city, with just a single sentence, have turned everything they possessed into a dream, leaving them without a foothold. What awaits them next is self-evident.

Even so, no one dared to complain. They just kept pleading, and large numbers of people knelt down again, kowtowing repeatedly to the people on the city wall.

Seeing this, many of the guards on the city wall felt a surge of satisfaction.

They've long disliked these people outside, always running around the city for no reason.

It's good to drive these refugees away; their work will be much easier from now on.

Several D-level Awakened Ones looked completely bewildered.

What's going on?

Why didn't the president say the second half of the sentence?

Hua Jun looked at the crowd kneeling down below, his lips tightly pressed together.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

People tend not to cherish what they get easily. If he had simply said it like that, the people below might have been touched, but not deeply moved.

Therefore, he wanted to let these people fall to the bottom of the valley first, and then pull them up to the top of the mountain. In this way, they would never forget the kindness the chairman had shown them until their death.

Although the chairman didn't give such instructions, he, as the subordinate, had to take it into consideration.

"Please, Mr. President, please let us stay!"

"We're willing to do anything as long as they don't kick us out."

"President, if we leave here, we will have nowhere to go and will surely die. Please have mercy and spare us."

The wailing echoed through the sky, causing grief to those who saw it and tears to those who heard it.

"That's about it."

Seeing that the time was right, Hua Jun gave a wink to the awakened one beside him.

"Quiet!"

The moment the man spoke, his voice completely drowned out everyone else present.

In an instant, a deathly silence fell over the area below the city wall. No one dared to make a sound; they simply looked pleadingly at the figure on the wall.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you all crying?"

Hua Jun said unhappily.

"That's right, I mean, from today onwards, you can no longer live outside the city, but I have a second part to say."

"The second half of the sentence?"

Tens of thousands of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That's right, the second half of my sentence is that after I finish speaking, all of you should pack your things and move into the city."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the city, the guards on the walls, and those who were putting on a brave front were stunned. Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

"Yes, you heard me right, and I'm not joking with you."

Hua Jun said, "To be honest, you guys are not qualified to move to the city at all. If you don't believe me, we can ask people in other cities and see what kind of price they have to pay to move into the city."

However, our association's president, Mr. Li, is kind-hearted and can't bear to see you suffer outside. He's willing to let you move into the city free of charge. That's why I called you here. Do you understand?

No one dared to speak beneath the city wall.

Because they couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to them.

Just then, someone mustered up their courage and said, "Chairman, are you telling the truth? We can really move into the city without spending a single penny?"

"Do you think I would have any reason to lie to you?"

Hua Jun sneered.

Then, he swept his gaze across the entire room and said, "I'll say it one last time: someone will come to guide you later. Everyone, regardless of age or gender, can move into Anshan City without paying anything in return."

Because this is a gift from Chairman Li to you. Of course, if anyone is unwilling, Chairman Li will not force them. However, after moving into the city, everyone must abide by the rules; otherwise, they will bear the consequences!

After saying that, Hua Jun turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"I heard everything, now go back and pack your things."

"Remember to thank our Chairman Li properly, otherwise you wouldn't have had the chance to move in at all."

"Go back now, and hurry up."

Several D-level Awakened individuals exchanged a few words and then descended the city wall.

However, the people around were still in shock.

They couldn't believe it was true, that they could actually move to the city.

is fake?

How could that be? That's an Awakened One!

What's more, so many people heard it.

Or a trap?

Given the strength of the Awakened Ones, would they need to resort to such methods to harm them?

So, it was really that Chairman Li who took pity on them and allowed those living outside the city to move into the city?

"Thank you so much, Chairman Li! Thank you so much, Chairman Li!"

Some people realized what was happening and started kowtowing while shouting.

The others gradually realized what was happening and began to frantically kowtow on the ground.

In the city, aside from anything else, the safety is more than ten times higher than outside!

Not to mention the living conditions.

They work hard outside, risking their lives to hunt, all to save enough money to qualify for living in the city.

But now, Chairman Li is actually giving them the city's residential quotas free of charge. How can they not be moved to tears?

Tens of thousands of people chanted the name of Chairman Li, their voices echoing for a long time.

Even Lin Hui and the others were moved to tears at this moment.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way.

For example, many people in the city are now in a daze, their minds blank.

Those refugees outside the city were actually able to move into the city? And without paying any price?

Impossible, impossible!

Outside the city, several people hidden in the shadows witnessed this scene, and their faces were filled with utter shock.

"Big, big brother,"

The bearded man turned his head, his eyes wide, and asked, "Am I dreaming? Or am I hallucinating? Li Ping actually made everyone outside the city move into the city?"

"I...I heard it too." The woman swallowed hard, listening to the tsunami-like shouts ahead. "These people are all ordinary people. Even if there are martial artists, it's useless. What's the point of making them move into the city?"

"Yeah, and it's free." The fat man took a big bite of the meat.

"I...I don't know either."

Xie Ming's face was filled with confusion.

Putting everything else aside, what will the people inside the city think if so many people from outside the city are allowed to live here for free? Has Chairman Li considered this issue?

Moreover, it's completely unnecessary, isn't it?

People outside are just ordinary people, so what if more die?

Only the third brother exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother, what Chairman Li did is a tremendous blessing for us!"
