Chapter 316 What Is Li Ping Thinking? (Subscribe)
And not long after Chen Fan left, the entire Anshan City gradually became restless.
The people in the two camps outside the city gathered into more than ten streams and headed towards the city gate.
Last night, they all received a notice from the camp owner that the next morning, no one was allowed to go out hunting or stay at home, and they had to rush to the city gate. The awakened adults in the city had important things to announce.
Anyone who violated the order would bear the consequences.
Who dared to disobey the orders of the awakened adults in the city? Many people even stayed up all night and stared at two big dark circles under their eyes early in the morning.
"Brother, what happened? What do the awakened adults have to announce?" There was a discussion in the crowd.
"Who knows? Let's go and find out."
"I asked our village chief last night, and he didn't know what it was. He just knew that he was asked to notify everyone. If there was a household that didn't know, he would be questioned."
"Oh my goodness, is it so grand? Maybe something big happened?"
"It seems that something big has happened in the city recently." A man said to himself.
"What big thing happened?"
After hearing this, many people around came over.
The man was also shocked when he saw this, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Nothing, nothing, I just said it casually."
"Brother, you are too mean, aren't you? You know it clearly, and you just said it."
"That's right, we are all brothers in distress living outside, and now we all have to go to the city gate. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope. What can't we say?"
"Brother, please, just tell me quickly. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best."
"That's right, brother, tell me quickly, we promise not to tell anyone."
Many people around swore.
The main thing is that in their memory, they have never been called to gather at the city gate early in the morning.
"Okay, we are all brothers," the man thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "But what I am going to say next is also hearsay, and I cannot guarantee its authenticity. But when you listen to it later, remember not to make too much noise, otherwise, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Okay, brother, you say, we promise not to make any noise."
The man first looked around, then lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard that the city lord and his people are in trouble."
"What! City!"
The exclamation stopped abruptly, and a big hand covered the man's mouth.
Although the other people around did not lose their composure like this, they also widened their eyes and looked like they had seen a ghost.
Someone asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, what do you mean by the city lord and his people being in trouble?"
"That's right."
The man nodded, sighed softly, and said, "It's what you think."
"This?"
Everyone looked at each other.
What do they think?
Could it be that the city lord and his people are dead?
Can someone as powerful as the city lord die? No, to be precise, who has the ability to kill him?
Even the beast tides that broke out in the past were repelled by the city lord and his men?
"Brother, what happened? Please explain it clearly."
"Yes, what happened to the city lord and his men? What happened?"
"Brother, your words are not up to the point, which makes me feel uncomfortable?"
The crowd urged, their faces full of curiosity.
"I don't know the details, and I don't dare to ask around." The man shook his head and said, "Anyway, I have told you everything I know. If you ask me again, I don't know what to say. Alas, if something bad happens in the future, everyone will be on their own."
Hearing his words, the mood of the people around him became heavier.
Lin Hui and others from the Martial Arts Association were also in the crowd.
Unlike the panic of the people around them, their faces were more confused.
"Brother Lin, what happened? Why did they ask us to gather at the city gate so early in the morning?"
"Yes, Brother Lin, what are those people from the Awakener Association thinking?"
"Is there no news from the president?"
"I've asked."
Hearing the inquiries from everyone, Lin Hui shook his head and said solemnly: "The president said that he didn't know what happened. People outside the city were notified, but there was no news in the city."
"What, the president means that only people outside the city received the order from the association to gather here?"
"That's right."
Lin Hui nodded.
At this moment, the faces of all the people from the Martial Arts Association became much uglier.
Most of them are warriors in the Flesh Refining Realm and the Body Tempering Realm. Even the people from the Martial Arts Association do not have the authority to live in the city.
The Awakener Association only notified the people outside the city. Could it be that they have some bad ideas?
For example, they think they are affecting the city appearance and drive them away?
But this is unnecessary, right? They have been living outside these years, working diligently, and dare not go into the city to cause trouble.
Moreover, they are members of the Martial Arts Association. Even if the Awakener Association in the city looks down on them from the bottom of their hearts, they should not be too harsh on them for the sake of the Martial Arts Association, right?
Lin Hui looked towards the city gate, and saw that it was already crowded, dark, full of people, and the sound of discussion continued.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that you can't avoid."
He sighed inwardly.
Because he knows far more information than anyone else around him.
For example, the death of Yan Ming and others.
To avoid causing panic, he did not tell anyone else the news.
But last night, he received news that everyone would gather at the city gate early tomorrow morning, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
Could it be that the people in the Awakened Association thought that the murderer who killed Yan Ming and others was hidden among them? Want to find the murderer by gathering everyone?
The abilities awakened by those who are awakened are all kinds of strange, and they may not have such means.
Alas, I just hope this matter can be settled as soon as possible and not involve ordinary people.
The people in the city naturally noticed the movement outside the city. They gathered together in twos and threes and talked in low voices.
"What's going on outside? I took a look just now, and it's all people!"
"I saw it too. It was so densely packed that people from outside the city seemed to be here!"
"Isn't that right? The city gate is blocked. Let's not even say we want to go out. We can't even get close to the city gate. These people outside are really in the way!"
"You're right, it's like dog skin plaster. Living outside, look at the road outside. It's so dirty. Every time I pass by, I have to pinch my nose and cover my wallet tightly for fear of being stolen. "
"Really? Those people outside are so bad?"
"That's right, there are a lot of thieves and swindlers, and some dare to rob in broad daylight. Not to mention women, grown men don't dare to go in alone in broad daylight."
"I really don't know why the city lord allowed those people to live outside? If it were me, I would have driven them away."
"that is."
"President, what these people said is too much, right?" Xu Jie clenched his fists and said.
Once upon a time, he came to Anshan City after many twists and turns. He first lived outside and reached the realm of Jin before he was granted a place to live in the city.
The living conditions and security in the villages outside are indeed not as good as those in the city, but they are not as bad as those people say.
The most important thing is that among those who hold strong prejudices against people outside, there are also many people who originally lived outside, right?
Sun Wei shook his head and said: "This is human nature. It's just that the outbreak of the apocalypse has amplified human nature. Don't pay attention to it."
"The president is right," Gao Shan nodded on the side, and then his eyes showed doubts and said, "I wonder what those people from the Awakened Association want to do when they gather people from outside the city?"
"yes."
Tu Yue was also curious: "President, do you know the reason?"
The other people also looked over.
Sun Wei shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this matter, but I do know one piece of news."
"what news?"
"After Gao Jinming disappeared, the Awakened Association invited an Awakened person to serve as their new president."
"New president!"
Xu Jie and others looked at each other.
This Association of Awakeners moves quickly enough!
But it is reasonable to think about it. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and an association cannot be without a president for a day.
"President, what is the background of their new president?"
"I don't know much about it. I just know that this new president is a very powerful character. He is very powerful. Many C-level awakened people are afraid of him."
"Is it so powerful?"
"I hope you won't be too forceful, otherwise, our martial arts association's life will continue to be uncomfortable."
"Yes, eh?" Tu Yue suddenly thought of something, opened her eyes wide and said: "President, is there a possibility that what happened this morning has something to do with the new president of the Awakened Association? "Relationship?"
"Tu Yue, do you mean that it was the new president who asked people from outside the city to gather at the door early in the morning?"
"That's right," Tu Yue looked at the others and said, "As the saying goes, there are three things a new official does when he takes office. The one who just arrived probably wants to show his presence in front of everyone and show off his authority."
Hearing this, Gaoshan and others nodded.
This possibility cannot be ruled out, or in other words, this possibility is quite high.
Several people thought of this, with more or less contempt in their eyes.
It's a bit ridiculous that the president of the dignified Awakened Association still cares about these false reputations and goes to a group of ordinary people to show off his methods.
Sun Wei frowned.
He felt that this matter was not that simple.
If the other party wanted to show off his power, why didn't he come to him, the president of the martial arts association branch, instead of going to a large group of ordinary people?
What kind of medicine is that guy named Li Ping selling in the gourd?
