Chapter 721 Conservative Jiangcheng
"Welcome, welcome! Hahaha, I didn't expect to hear news from the capital after the spiritual energy revival!"
Please make yourselves at home!
At the Jiangcheng Survivors Base, the mayor greeted the powerful members of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom with a smile.
Cangnian, without any ceremony, led everyone to their seats.
After encountering the evolved team earlier and explaining their purpose, they learned that they were from the Jiangcheng Survivor Base.
Then, Cangnian and his party arrived here very smoothly and received a warm welcome.
There was no way around it; the sight of a giant spaceship flying in the air, coupled with countless auras of fifth-tier powerhouses, made the higher-ups at the Jiangcheng survivor base realize that a very powerful force had arrived.
Meanwhile, Cang Nian, through his own perception and Noah's perception array, determined the overall strength of the Jiangcheng survivor base.
There were more than twenty fifth-tier experts in total, with only one fifth-tier peak old man who should be an ancient martial arts cultivator like Yang Tianhuang. Including those who did not stay in the base, the number of fifth-tier experts should be around fifty.
With such strength, let alone facing the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, even the Shanghai, which has recovered from the war, is much stronger than the Jiangcheng survivor base.
However, this is not hard to understand.
Along the way, Cang Nian noticed that the Jiangcheng survivor base was well-constructed, and the ordinary people on the road did not show any signs of grief, appearing as if the area had been peaceful and stable for a long time.
This is similar to the situation in the capital when the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom first arrived.
However, compared to the capital city's reputation, Jiangcheng couldn't attract as many survivor forces to join it. When Noah flew over the Jiangcheng survivor base, he scanned it and roughly estimated that the population here was just over ten million.
Of course, now that Beijing, Shanghai, and Wuhan are all in the same boat, none of them should laugh at the others. The giant survivor base formed by the two super first-tier cities now only has a population of ten million each.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was so great that they had no desire to resist, so the higher-ups in Jiangcheng could only greet them with smiles.
"Judging from your situation, your strength is not weak, and you haven't been distracted by any crisis. Why don't you go downstream along the Yangtze River to find Shanghai and establish contact with it?"
Cang Nian asked bluntly.
"Well... Mr. Beast King, you may not know this, but in Jiangcheng, we don't have a means of transportation like the Ark that is not affected by the terrain."
Although going downstream might lead us to Shanghai, we are still busy surviving before the second spiritual energy revival tide, and we have no energy to establish any connection with Shanghai.
After the second spiritual energy revival tide, we recovered from the earthquake and tried to explore the outside world, but after traveling thousands of kilometers, we still couldn't find anything.
We were afraid the distance between Wuhan and Shanghai was too far, so we had to give up. Little did we know that the two cities are less than 20,000 kilometers apart. If only we had persisted from the beginning!
Upon seeing that Cang Nian, a mere tiger, was the person in charge of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, the mayor of Jiang City's eyes flashed with surprise, before he awkwardly replied.
"Hmm... In the capital, they're preparing to contact all parties to reunify the Dragon Kingdom. I wonder what your Jiangcheng side thinks about that?"
Cangnian nodded and then asked.
However, he was secretly sneering.
Excuses like "the journey is too long" or "the earthquake delayed us" are just that—excuses.
The mayor of Jiangcheng and the city's top officials probably feel that once Jiangcheng is connected with Shanghai, the city will become weaker and the city stronger, thus losing its voice.
Even when Shanghai was besieged by the two Dragon Palaces, it was still able to risk its life to send several teams to seek help from the capital and Guangzhou.
Jiangcheng has been at peace for a long time. Doesn't it have the strength and energy to join forces with Shanghai?
That is definitely impossible!
Although Jiangcheng is far weaker than the capital, the capital's reclaimed land area has already expanded to a radius of 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers.
As for Jiangcheng, no matter how weak it is, it has been nearly five months since the second spiritual energy revival tide. Is it really that difficult to cultivate a land area of five thousand to ten thousand kilometers?
Besides scavenging evolutionary resources in the New World, the main reason for pioneering was the lack of landmark terrain, which made it difficult to find other survivor bases.
With the Yangtze River providing the clearest terrain, if Jiangcheng wants to find Shanghai, it only needs to send a fifth-tier evolved human to travel along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it will be less than 20,000 kilometers away!
For a fifth-tier expert, 20,000 kilometers is only two and a half days' journey, even if they rush as fast as they can.
The survivor base in Shanghai is unable to find Jiang Cheng because it is besieged by the two Dragon Palaces. Is Jiang Cheng unable to find Shanghai?
Cang Nian could only sneer at this.
However, he only gave a cold laugh; there was no need to get angry.
After all, this was Ye Dingjiang's business, and had little to do with him.
"Mr. Beast King, what do you mean by that? The Dragon Kingdom has not split up, so how can it be unified?"
However, if your meaning is to strengthen communication between different regions and enhance connections between superiors and subordinates, then Jiangcheng will certainly cooperate fully!
When Cang Nian asked him this question, the mayor of Jiang City's expression froze for a moment, and then he answered while sweating profusely.
"That's good. You don't have any enemies to deal with, right?"
If you have something to say, just say it. Before I leave, I can take care of whether you arrest or kill me.
If not, then I will follow the instructions given by the chief and leave the liaison team from the capital here.
The situation here will be relayed back to the capital as soon as possible. With the speed of a fifth-tier expert and the teleportation array, the round trip will only take three to five days.
Cang Nian nodded, seemingly satisfied with the mayor's attitude, and continued to ponder.
"No, no, Mr. Beast King, won't you stay in Jiangcheng for a couple more days? We'd love to treat you to a good meal!"
Cang Nian's words were incredibly informative for the mayor of Jiang City. He pondered them for a long time before swallowing hard.
"No need, you're still treating me... I want to eat fifth-tier evolved meat, can you afford it?"
We have missions to fulfill. Besides Jiangcheng, there are Shancheng and Rongcheng upstream. We don't have time to waste here.
Cang Nian rolled his eyes at the Jiangcheng mayor's feigned politeness and retorted.
His keen senses allowed him to perceive just how panicked the mayor of Jiangcheng was.
He and the Jiangcheng leaders may not have had any malicious intent, and they have done their jobs well in managing the Jiangcheng survivor base, preventing it from being attacked by evolved creatures, and allowing the survivors to live and work in peace.
But they are unwilling to relinquish their power, so they bury their heads in the sand like ostriches, guarding their own little corner of the world.
However, from the perspective of the capital city, this can be considered a resistance to the national governance system.
Once the main force from the capital arrives, it's hard to say whether these high-ranking officials in Jiangcheng will still be able to stay in their positions.
Moreover, the mayor of Jiangcheng did not expect that there was a liaison team from the capital on the ark, and that there was something like a teleportation array, which would allow the main force from the capital to arrive here in just a few days!
"Oh, I remembered wrong. Actually, when we came here, we opened up a spatial passage along the Yangtze River. If we are fast, the main force from the capital can arrive tonight."
At this moment, Cang Nian raised his paw and gently patted the mayor of Jiang City on the shoulder, smiling as he spoke.
