"Everything is set. There are still大量魔物 streaming in from the Demon Realm Gate and the borders within Germany. You will need to handle that yourselves."
"Thank you."
After this brief conversation, Wen Yu directly used the Exchange Stone Pillar to teleport back to the Eternal Sky City.
...
The Eternal Sky City remained the same as before.
However, under Wen Yu's powerful perception, he could sense that there were significantly more people in the Eternal Sky City.
This was not a good thing. An increase in population meant a rise in the number of residents in the Eternal Sky City, which in turn indicated that somewhere on Earth, gathering places were being defeated and wiped out one after another...
Before the apocalypse, among the more than 200 countries globally, only a few dozen might have survived until now, and among those, most only had one gathering place supporting the "regime" of their country.
Could this even still be considered a country?
...
These issues concerning humanity and nations, Wen Yu thought briefly before deciding to leave it to Lin Haifeng and Tang Haofei to resolve. What concern was it of his to meddle in these matters?
He directly teleported back to the Beijing gathering place. Just after leaving the Exchange Stone Pillar, Wen Yu called Qin Tian.
"I'm back. Have things over there been resolved?"
"Not yet."
Hearing Qin Tian's answer surprised Wen Yu.
"Not yet? It shouldn't be taking this long, right?"
Qin Tian hesitated for a moment and then began to explain.
"Tang Haofei is extremely busy. After you left, it wasn't long before he went out to deal with some issues, and he still hasn't returned."
"What about Qin Shiyuan?"
"The military has temporarily stabilized Qin Shiyuan's condition using special instruments. Tang Haofei said he would help Qin Shiyuan eliminate the virus in her body after this period is over..."
Wen Yu fell silent for a moment before asking once more.
"What do you think? Is it okay?"
"I don't have any issues. Yuan Yuan has now been sent to the underground research institute of the Academy of Sciences, so there's no safety problem. It's just a matter of waiting."
"Alright, as long as you have no problem. In that case, we'll just wait a bit longer."
After hanging up, Wen Yu stood still, contemplating for a long time.
After a while, he shook his head.
Maybe he was just overthinking...
Tang Haofei must be very busy in that position...
Especially at this moment...
The Sea King was about to land, and was about to sign an alliance with Beijing.
Comparing the alliance between the two races, and contrasting it with Lin Haifeng's "sea king control plan," putting Qin Shiyuan on hold was justifiable.
And since Qin Tian wasn't anxious, why should Wen Yu be in a hurry?
However...
"Can't they spare even six hours?" This kind of doubt lingered in Wen Yu's mind...
...
After pondering for a while, Wen Yu took out the communicator again and dialed Tang Haofei's number...
Unfortunately, the line was busy, and Tang Haofei seemed to be preoccupied with something else.
At that moment, standing in the vast Beijing gathering place, a sense of uninvited loneliness began to rise within Wen Yu...
"This place really doesn't suit me."
Thinking this, Wen Yu forced a smile and turned to walk towards the Outer City.
Since he had nowhere to go, he might as well look for Yang Hong and Wang Fu Cai. He also wondered how their Three Skull Society was doing...
...
The Inner City wasn't too crowded, as it was a military-controlled area, housing the "military camp combined with tactical command center and the Academy of Sciences." In the terminology of the pre-apocalypse, this was considered a military restricted zone!
But the Outer City was different.
As soon as he stepped out of the Inner City's gates, the noisy sounds from outside flooded Wen Yu's ears.
The remaining population of the destroyed small gathering places and countries, once rescued through the teleportation channel of the Eternal Sky City, would be transported to Beijing. Upon entering the Beijing gathering place, these refugees would inevitably be placed in the Outer City.
