Seeing that Zhong Lingtong could not be moved, the old man was helpless.
After all, he had a lot to say, but he was embarrassed to express it in front of Su Ping.
Staying in Longjiang is simply digging your own grave. He doesn't know what Su Ping thinks. This is the other side, the top king among the kings and beasts. Not to mention Su Ping is the reverse king, even if the legend comes, it will be useless. !
"In this case, let me stay here, I hope I can do my best." The old man said.
He said this because he wanted to stay and look after Zhong Lingtong.
When the city is really in trouble, he won't be able to control so much. Even if he offends Su Ping, he will have to take Zhong Lingtong away by force.
With Zhong Lingtong's talent, even without Su Ping, it would be appropriate for him to be taught by another teacher and become a master. This is the seedling of their Zhong family, and they cannot die with Su Ping so willfully.
Su Ping didn't say anything to the old man's words. At this moment, his communicator suddenly rang. When Su Ping looked at the number, it turned out to be the mayor Xie Jinshui's.
"Mayor, where are you?"
Su Ping immediately answered the call and asked.
"I'm back." Xie Jinshui's voice was calm.
Su Ping was surprised, so fast
We set off last night and can we return today
"How many legends have been invited?" Su Ping asked quickly.
Xie Jinshui was silent for a moment and said: "Boss Su, would you like to come over now? I want to have a meeting. Some things are better discussed in person."
Su Ping was slightly startled, and suddenly felt something was wrong with Xie Jinshui's tone, and he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Su Ping said immediately.
When the call was hung up, Su Ping glanced at Dao Zun and the three elders of the Zhong family next to him, and said: "I have something urgent, so I will go out first. You can sit wherever you like."
Dao Zun glanced at him. Su Ping was not soundproof. He also heard the communication. He frowned slightly and said, "Okay, be careful."
"Boss Su, just go and be busy, don't pay attention to us." The old man of the Zhong family said quickly.
Su Ping nodded and left the store immediately.
After going out, Su Ping saw Qin Duhuang and Liu Tianzong coming out of the store on the opposite side of the street. They were both surprised when they saw Su Ping.
"Boss Su, Lao Xie just came back."
"Well, he just contacted me and asked me to come over."
"Really? I happened to be going there too. I asked him how many legends he had invited back, but he didn't say anything." Qin Duhuang frowned.
Liu Tianzong next to him laughed and said: "This old guy, doesn't he want to give us a surprise?"
Neither Su Ping nor Qin Duhuang laughed, finding this statement not interesting at all.
At this moment, they were in no mood to joke, especially on something as big as this.
Lao Xie's reaction was really strange.
This made them involuntarily think of a terrible possibility.
Hope it's not true!
…
Soon, inside the city hall.
In the conference room.
In addition to Su Ping, Qin Duhuang, and Liu Tianzong who came together, Mu Beihai, Zhou Tianlin and others also arrived. They were working elsewhere and rushed over as soon as they heard the news of Xie Jinshui's return.
There were still a few of them in the conference room.
"Lao Xie, what's going on? Don't say anything!" The head of the Ye family had a hot temper and couldn't help but said anxiously.
Qin Duhuang looked at Xie Jinshui who lowered his head and said nothing, his face turned ugly, and said: "Old Xie, what's going on? Tell me, could it be that the legend from the peak tower didn't come over?"
Everyone else thought this way after seeing Xie Jinshui. When they heard Qin Duhuang express their worries, their faces changed slightly and they stared at Xie Jinshui.
Hearing Qin Duhuang's words, Xie Jinshui's body seemed to shake slightly. He was silent for a moment and then slowly raised his head, with an indescribable expression on his face.
Full of fatigue, disappointment, despair, pain, guilt, etc.
Seeing this face, everyone's heart sank.
"Fengta said... the abyss cave on the front line is in emergency, and they can't spare manpower to help." Xie Jinshui spoke slowly, but his voice was hoarse.
The expressions of Qin Duhuang and others changed instantly.
Can’t free up manpower
"Not a single legend came?!" Zhou Tianlin couldn't help but stare, shocked and angry, and said: "Didn't Peak Tower say that there are dozens of legends? Normally when other base cities encounter a beast-level disaster, they all We can ask the legends in the peak tower to help, why not this time?!”
"Are they also afraid of the other side!?"
Hearing Zhou Tianlin's angry voice, the people next to him opened their mouths slightly. They also wanted to ask this, but Zhou Tianlin had already said it for them.
Mu Beihai's face was extremely gloomy and he said: "Lao Xie, what's going on? The base city pays Peak Tower so much money in taxes every year. They are obliged to help us. We really need them now. Why didn't they come? Can’t you even hire a legend?”
Qin Duhuang was in the same mood as Zhou Tianlin. He stared at Xie Jinshui at this moment and said: "Old Xie, you know what the situation is now. If the legend of Peak Tower does not come, what is the difference between us in Longjiang and waiting to die? Although I, Old Qin I am willing to sacrifice for Longjiang, but it would be too stupid to sacrifice in vain!"
"That's right." The head of the Ye family also said, "Why are they unwilling to come?"
"Lao Xie, do you have a bad attitude?" Liu Tianzong frowned.
When Xie Jinshui heard Liu Tianzong's words, his gray eyes turned slightly, he glanced at him, his mouth trembled slightly, and said: "Attitude? Haha, I knelt down for them, one by one! What do you think of my attitude? Okay, I don’t know how to request anymore, that’s not a request, it’s a beg!”
Liu Tianzong was slightly startled, and Qin Duhuang and others were also stunned.
Kneel down? Although Xie Jinshui is not a legend, he is still at the limit of his title!
And he’s the mayor, actually kneeling down? !
Even if he saw the legend and was in awe, he would just bow and salute!
Kneel down, this is beyond the courtesy to a legend!
Su Ping's face was also cold, and he could almost imagine Xie Jinshui kneeling down and begging.
"Why is that? Is it something about the Abyss Cave? I heard that several legends died in the Abyss Cave. Lao Xie, how many legends did you see in the peak tower?" Qin Duhuang frowned.
Xie Jinshui was silent.
After a moment, he slowly said: "I rushed to the peak tower overnight last night and reported everything in detail. They asked me to wait, so I waited there... After waiting for two hours, they said that the people above wanted to see me. I, I went, and then I met the legend who was in charge of the peak tower."
"I told the story. They said that the Abyss Cave now needs legendary guards. Let us solve it ourselves, or let us move out quickly before the attack on the other side. I said that these people in Longjiang should not be moved out right away. We can move out, but even if we want to move out, we still need someone to escort us. I asked them to send a legend to help us move out, but they didn’t agree.”
"Later, I looked for some legends who had been to Longjiang and had connections with Longjiang."
"I approached several, but they all said no."
"I searched everywhere in the peak tower and found more than a dozen legends, but no one agreed..."
Xie Jinshui was silent for a moment, looked at Qin Duhuang and Su Ping, and said, "I can see that they are also afraid of meeting the other side because they came to help."
Qin Duhuang and others were stunned.
Su Ping was also stunned, but soon a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"I remember there was a legend named King Bei. Have you met him?" Su Ping asked.
Xie Jinshui was slightly startled, as if he did not expect that Su Ping would know the legend so early. He nodded slightly, "I saw him and looked for him, but he said that he had other tasks and it was not convenient for him to come."
Su Ping was silent.
He felt like there was a ball of anger burning in his heart.
Several other people also came to their senses, and Zhou Tianlin couldn't help but said: "You said you asked a dozen legends? If they all come here, are they still afraid of the other side? They only need to come here for a trip, and it takes a day to get back and forth. Not even that, showing strength is enough to defeat the beast tide gathered outside, why not come?"
"Isn't it said that the Abyss Cave is in urgent need of legends? Why can you still meet more than a dozen legends in the peak tower?" Qin Duhuang was a little confused. He had received news about the Abyss Cave from Qin Shuhai before, and he knew that there was an urgent need for legends there. Guarding, so that even the king's league became a bait.
As a result, we could actually see more than a dozen legends at the Peak Tower headquarters
Xie Jinshui glanced at him, then at Zhou Tianlin, Mu Beihai and others with angry faces, with a bitter smile on his face.
He has personally been to the Peak Tower and seen the conditions there, so he knows more than others.
There were many things he didn't say out loud, because if he did, it would be meaningless.
He is an adult and the mayor. He has experienced a lot and seen a lot. He has seen countless beauties and countless ugliness, so he understands and can understand it all at once.
But I understand, it’s meaningless.
It will only make you feel more painful.
"They are at least right about one thing." Xie Jinshui said in a low voice: "I called you here just to tell you about this matter. Without the legend of the Peak Tower, it will be really difficult for us to hold on. It’s impossible, so I plan to help everyone move away.”
Everyone was shocked.
Seeing Xie Jinshui's gradually calmer expression and serious gaze, everyone knew that Xie Jinshui was probably having a difficult ideological struggle before they came.
"Relocation..." The head of the Ye family looked ugly: "Other base cities have closed the subway channels to our Longjiang. How can we relocate? Moreover, our population in Longjiang is more than 20 million. What is this concept? Even if the traffic is smooth, it will not be easy to evacuate them all.”
Mu Beihai looked calmly, thinking quickly, and said: "I think we can contact the surrounding base cities and open underground train channels. In addition, we don't have to move all of us, leaving some old, weak, sick and disabled, and some suffering from incurable diseases. , use it as bait here, and remove the remaining people!”
Su Ping was startled.
The faces of the people next to him changed slightly and they glanced at Mu Beihai.
These words are very cold and cruel!
Leave some people as bait to attract the attention of the beast
In the face of the beast tide, bait is just food!
It is specially reserved for the beast tide to eat. Maybe when the beast tide is full, it will not have the motivation to chase others!
From an absolutely rational point of view, this is indeed a method, but it is too cruel!
Who doesn't want to live
Who is willing to stay and become food for monsters
Zhou Tianlin and Qin Duhuang are both silent. They are both superiors. They know that this kind of decision is cruel, but in this case, there are really not many choices.
War is cruel, and cruelty is forced out by war.
When a tiger is chasing you, you don't need to run faster than the tiger, you just need to run faster than your companions. This is survival!
Survival itself is a survival of the fittest, a cruel and cruel thing.
Now they are the ones who can decide the life and death of the people below.
Xie Jinshui's eyes shrank slightly. Mu Beihai's words were like the words of a devil. His first reaction was anger, but when he wanted to get angry, the anger quickly disappeared. He couldn't curse, because he knew that he wanted to It would be impossible for everyone to move away!
Once you turn your back on the monster, the beast tide will only pursue you more ferociously!
If the people in Longjiang fled in all directions, they would only die more. After all, outside the base city, it was all wilderness. With the distance between them and other base cities, they could encounter monsters at any time, except for some powerful battle pets. Teachers, those who have the ability to survive in the wild can protect themselves, while the rest of the ordinary civilians will die if they encounter monsters!
There was a silence in the conference room.
Mu Beihai saw everyone's expressions and knew that the decision he made was too cruel. He didn't say anything. The matter was over. If he wanted to leave, he would be happy to do so. Anyway, if they wanted to move away, all the children of the Mu family would be able to leave. In Longjiang, those left behind are just ordinary people with no power, no power and no background.
In the silence, Xie Jinshui saw that Su Ping was silent and seemed to be thinking about something. He asked: "Boss Su, what do you mean?"
After hearing his words, everyone else was slightly startled, and then they thought of Su Ping.
It's just that Su Ping was too young in appearance. They subconsciously ignored Su Ping when discussing such heavy matters. Although Su Ping was strong enough, it was just strength and did not mean that he had the control and decision-making vision of a superior.
Su Ping glanced at them and said, "If you really want to move away, I won't let you stay, but I... won't leave."
Several people were stunned.
They stared slightly and looked at Su Ping, and their inner words were beyond words: Do you know what you are talking about? !
Not leaving
Do you really want to fight to the death with the other side
If, as they had hoped before, a few legends came to the Peak Tower, they would still have hope, but now that not even a single legend has come to the Peak Tower, is it just them
Although Su Ping is very strong and there are legends in Su Ping's store, with Su Ping, it's only one and a half!
And this time, there are five king beasts!
Maybe Su Ping can kill five king beasts, but what if these five king beasts attack separately
After all, Su Ping is alone, and with the legend in his store, he can only defend two directions of the base city. Who can defend the other directions
Once it is breached, it will be attacked from both sides. Even if the base city that Su Ping defends is unscathed, it will be of no use because all his homes have been stolen!
