Chapter 435: Staying

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City Headquarters.

After receiving Angron's communication, Jack simply handled the work at hand and then came to Angron's office.

"Councilor Jack, here is a document, an application submitted by Councilor Daixi, saying she needs 5 Awakening Stones to conduct an Awakening Ceremony for the survivors of the New City-State."

Seeing Jack enter, Angron picked up an application from the desk, handed it to Jack, and spoke slowly.

Jack took the application handed over by Angron, looked it over, and spoke.

"Daixi wants to let those New City-State survivors undergo awakening; come to think of it, the survivors who returned this time haven't had an Awakening Ceremony, it was all forgotten."

Angron crossed his arms and looked at Jack with a calm gaze as he spoke.

"I haven't dealt with this type of document before, but you all know how to handle this situation; what is your opinion?"

Jack touched his receding hairline, pondered for a few seconds, and replied.

"My suggestion is to approve it. If the number of awakened survivors in the New City-State increases, it will make development rapid. However, we also need to establish a set of rules for those survivors and strengthen the defense of the New City-State, so that those survivors don't hurt innocent people after gaining power because they don't know how to control it."

Upon hearing this, Angron said to Jack.

"That's about what I thought, so let's do that. I'll have to trouble you to formulate a set of rules that can quickly make those survivors understand the stakes; subsequent detailed rules can be added or modified according to the situation."

As he spoke, Angron signed his name on the application, set it aside, and seeing that the day's work was finished, he said to Jack.

"If there's nothing else, I'm going to check the situation in other areas; if anything comes up, communicate with me."

"Mm, I understand."

Fourth Defense Zone Outer City.

Kaxi watched as groups of survivors with vacant eyes and disheveled appearances were brought back by Human Alliance soldiers, and Kelin, who was beside Kaxi, explained.

"They have stayed in the Beast Race's cages for too long. To integrate into the life of the Fourth Defense Zone, they need a period of recovery and guidance. As long as they can recover, the recovery speed of the Fourth Defense Zone will further increase; this issue must be taken seriously."

After hearing Kelin's words, Kaxi crossed her arms and said in a hesitant tone.

"But, all this development takes time, and after crushing the Beast Army this time, their High Priest certainly won't just take this loss; it is very likely they will continue to send troops to attack us."

"And Yingzhou's offspring, Vulkan, he cannot stay in the Fourth Defense Zone forever. You have also seen that Vulkan's strength is definitely a trump card level in the Ninth Defense Zone; how could Yingzhou let Vulkan stay here to resist the Beast Race?"

"The Ninth Defense Zone is also currently resisting the Zerg; we still have to consider how to deal with the Beast Race's subsequent attacks."

After hearing Kaxi's words, Kelin also nodded and spoke.

"Kaxi, what you said makes sense. After I see Vulkan in a while, I will tell Vulkan the actual situation and see if he will tell Yingzhou about our difficulties after he returns."

"Mm, agreed. Then I will first take people to the Settlement Area to collect information on these survivors."

After Kaxi left, Kelin also got up to go to the Military District to find Vulkan and Xindi.

A large group of survivors suddenly emerged in the Fourth Defense Zone Outer City!

This made the residents within the Fourth Defense Zone overjoyed; those damned Beast Race were defeated by the Emperor's offspring, Lord Vulkan.

At the same time, upon seeing the miserable state of those survivors, a nameless anger rose among the Outer City residents and spread rapidly.

These survivors looked wretched and tattered, their bodies covered in various scars and bruises, clearly having experienced inhuman suffering.

When the residents of the Fourth Defense Zone saw their compatriots being so cruelly tortured by the Beast Race, they couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment in their hearts.

Some emotionally agitated residents could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts and began to curse in low voices: "Those hateful Beast Race bastards!"

They clenched their fists tightly, sparks of hatred flickering in their eyes.

"Those damned Beast Race, torturing our compatriots into this state!"

"They had it much worse than we did back then; it's a good thing the Emperor saved us."

"That's right, if it weren't for the Emperor, our end might have been to become a pile of white bones."

"Praise the Emperor!"

"Praise the Emperor!!"

Upon learning that the Beast Army threatening the Outer City had been defeated by Lord Vulkan and that so many survivors had been rescued, Fang Yue immediately called upon the workers of the Workers Association to go to the Settlement Area in their spare time to help these poor survivors.

Fang Yue took some fellow workers to the Settlement Area, and under Kaxi's arrangement, Fang Yue and his fellow workers were assigned to help at the Medical Camp.

Fang Yue stood in front of the temporarily erected medical tent, the smell of disinfectant mixed with the scent of blood stinging his nasal cavity. The fellow workers outside helped a batch of survivors onto stretchers, and suddenly noticed the faint dark red marks on the back of these survivors' necks.

And after these survivors entered the medical tent, a group of Human Alliance soldiers used Spiritual Power to eliminate the dark red marks on their bodies.

"Representative Fang, there are some medical supplies here that need you to call a few people to help move; these survivors have marks left by the Beast Race on them, which must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Fang Yue immediately called a few fellow workers to go with him to help move the supplies.

Fourth Defense Zone Military District.

When Kelin rushed to the Military District, he saw Xindi talking to Vulkan with an excited look on her face. After seeing Kelin enter, Xindi finally suppressed her emotions and asked Kelin.

"Kelin, how is it? Vulkan is worthy of being Yingzhou's offspring, directly killing the Beast Race on the battlefield until they were routed; even those Beast Race Priests are nothing more than a single Hammer's worth of effort in front of Vulkan."

Seeing Kelin's hesitant expression, Vulkan asked Kelin.

"Councilor Kelin, did you come to the Military District to find me?"

Kelin nodded and spoke.

"Vulkan, actually, you have seen the situation in the Fourth Defense Zone. Although it has indeed recovered after these few years of development, that one time the Beast Race almost wiped the Fourth Defense Zone off the map; even if the recovery in these few years has been rapid, it is merely a drop in the bucket."

After hearing Kelin's words, Vulkan nodded, signaling Kelin to continue.

"Although the Beast Army was crushed this time, this is not a long-term solution. If you take the soldiers back to the Ninth Defense Zone, then this place will inevitably be attacked by the Beast Race again."

Hearing this, Vulkan understood Kelin's purpose for coming to find him.

This was thinking he was going to leave, so they were probing when he would leave?

Looking at Kelin, whose hair had already turned quite white, Vulkan revealed a smile.

"When did I say I was leaving? This is also a defense zone of Human Civilization; I will propose to my father to stay here and lead the soldiers to resist the Beast Race!"
