Wang Zhigang was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"Brother, if you kill him, there might be trouble. Why don't you leave the city for a while? Once I help you resolve this issue, you can come back!"
This was the best plan Wang Zhigang could think of.
After all, the young man in military uniform, according to his own words, should have some connections above.
At the same time, he himself was appointed by the military to establish leadership that connects Central City with the military headquarters!
However, what Wang Zhigang considered was quite different from Wen Yu's thoughts.
Or rather, the gap in strength between Wang Zhigang and Wen Yu was too large, so their ideas could not possibly be the same.
Seeing the urgency in Wang Zhigang's eyes, Wen Yu shook his head.
"No need for that. You can contact the military headquarters, right?"
"That is possible, but..."
Before Wang Zhigang could finish his sentence, Wen Yu directly patted him on the shoulder.
"I'll talk to them. It's just right; I want to discuss some matters with them. As for that idiot just now, trust me, it's not a problem!"
"They should thank me. Really, that's why I'm happy today! Otherwise, the trouble wouldn't be mine but the military's!"
Before Wang Zhigang could react, Wen Yu waved at the doll-like soldiers not far away.
"Kids, let's go. I'll take you into the city."
Although Central City did not have any permanent residency permits, there was a saying before the apocalypse:
"Some people make things easier!"
Wang Zhigang regarded Wen Yu as a friend and benefactor, so he naturally agreed to Wen Yu's request to arrange permanent residency permits for this group of children.
At the same time, through Wang Zhigang, Wen Yu learned something.
The entry fee was actually proposed by the young man in military uniform.
Wang Zhigang originally intended to completely open Central City, turning it into a safe fortress for all survivors of Mudanjiang City.
Unfortunately, Wang Zhigang's idea met with opposition from everyone.
As for now, although the military uniformed man was dead, the rules had already been established, and Wang Zhigang himself was also a beneficiary!
Now, Wang Zhigang wouldn't express any opinions on the entry fee anymore.
The benefits brought by power indeed slowly corrode people's hearts!
At this time, Wen Yu stood beside Zheng Ye, patting his head.
"I'll drop you off here, and from now on, you’ll have to rely on yourselves."
Wen Yu felt a complicated emotion towards this group of soldier kids.
In his previous life, Wen Yu didn't think too much. Because at every moment, he was struggling against the god of death!
But in this life, especially after returning from Chaihe Town, Wen Yu felt more and more that this world was just too messed up!
At the very least, the children were innocent. They shouldn't have to bear the pressures that even adults couldn't handle.
With a slight sigh, Wen Yu placed the star on the now-small cyclops’s side and took out several Level 2 Magic Crystals from his Spatial Ring.
"Take these. Work hard to become stronger. Since you chose to be the leader for these kids, you must also bear the corresponding responsibility. This is all I can help you with!"
"Remember one thing! To live, ultimately, you must rely on yourselves!"
Hearing Wen Yu's words, Zheng Ye's eyes became a little misty.
After a while, Zheng Ye took the magic crystals from Wen Yu's hand and nodded vigorously at him.
"Thank you, thank you, uncle! You are a good person!"
Wen Yu straightened his body and shook his head at Zheng Ye.
"I'm not a good person, really. But I can assure you, you all will become good people. Come on, do your best!"
After saying that, Wen Yu extended his tightly clenched right fist.
Seeing this, Zheng Ye wiped the tears that were about to fall with his dirty sleeve and also extended his right fist.
The large and small fists slowly touched together.
Then, Wen Yu turned and walked to Wang Zhigang’s side, waving at Zheng Ye.
"Remember, my name is Wen Yu. If we meet again in the future, you should call me Brother Wen Yu! It's brother!"
