"My name is Wen Yu, Sequence Two. And as for the title of a war god, it seems to have generated quite a bit of discussion. Are there also the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise involved...?" Wen Yu began to complain upon hearing Kuang Liu's words.
Kuang Liu smiled at Wen Yu.
"Of course, but they won't move easily. In fact, they are even more special than the Vermilion Bird War God. However, if you want to join the military, these things won't be a secret to you!"
"Let's not discuss that for now." Wen Yu shook his head at Kuang Liu's repeated invitation, intending to end the topic.
Seeing Wen Yu's expression, Kuang Liu immediately understood that he was not interested in joining the military and decisively changed the subject.
"Let's go back to the gathering place first."
Kuang Liu gestured towards the military vehicle nearby.
Wen Yu nodded and got into the passenger seat first.
With the roar of the engine, the military vehicle sped towards the gathering area in Beijing City.
...
The speed of the military vehicle was not slow, but it was definitely slower than the speed at which the three of them could move at full speed. Perhaps there were regulations at the Beijing gathering place, or it could be for other reasons; Wen Yu did not inquire further about this.
"By the way, how is the matter I entrusted to you going?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Wen Yu played with the one-eyed creature while asking.
Kuang Liu kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, answering in the meantime.
"Sun Xuewei is currently a cadre in a female combat team. When I found her and told her that the military would provide her protection, she refused."
Wen Yu nodded.
"Why?"
"She said she couldn't leave her sisters in the combat team."
"Well, as long as she's willing. Take me to see her later. I want to bring her something and talk to her. If that's her own choice, I will respect it."
Wen Yu sighed softly, and some thoughts arose in his heart.
"This woman is really similar to her dad..."
...
As the military vehicle approached Beijing City, the full view of the gathering area gradually unfolded before Wen Yu's eyes.
The city walls, already thirty meters high, were still being widened and raised, all made of alloy. From a distance, one could feel the fortitude and ferocity of the walls.
Seeing Wen Yu staring intently at the walls, Kuang Liu began to explain.
"After the military learned of the existence of the demonic clan, the higher-ups collectively decided to build this wall. The walls are very sturdy and also have some special functions."
"However, I estimate that this outer wall wouldn't withstand attacks from beings above Level Six, so..." Kuang Liu shrugged at Wen Yu.
"Humans are always good at trapping themselves behind walls because it gives them a sense of security. You think this way too, right?"
Hearing Wen Yu's response, Kuang Liu nodded.
"Of course, this wall isn't completely useless. With the passage of time and the development of new composite materials by the Academy of Sciences, the walls will inevitably be upgraded. At that time, who knows what functions they will serve?"
"And this is just the outer wall!"
Wen Yu nodded in agreement.
This was normal; the function of a wall is to act as a barrier! Whether it separates monsters from humans or humans from humans...
One must understand that where there are people, there will be communities, and naturally, there will be classes!
"Let me give you a brief introduction to the situation in the Beijing gathering area."
"The entire Beijing gathering area is divided into three regions."
"The first region is the outer city, separated by the outer wall. Most of the residents there are refugees and laborers, although there are also a few hunting teams' headquarters located in the outer city. However, those are generally weak organizations."
"The second region is the inner city, separated by the inner wall. The inner city primarily consists of military camps and infrastructure like power stations, and the Academy of Sciences is also located in the inner city. There are also some powerful organizations. The residence requirements in the inner city are not high; as long as you have strength, you can enter."
