Chapter 598 It’s You, Xiao Qi
Chapter 598, The Zombie King in the Ice Coffin, Xiao Qi Open the Door Obediently
Frozen City, Time, 7 am.
As usual, the city's senior management needs to hold a meeting in the main city on time, usually chaired by the eldest son William.
Most of the time, they just report their work to the management.
But today is different from the past.
Except for the time, everything else is different.
The person sitting in the lion's position has become the youngest heir who was harmless and even simple in the past.
Even though Annie's expression is completely different from the past, from being cute and well-behaved to being cold as ice, this cold expression on her baby face always makes people unable to raise any sense of majesty.
There are many new faces around Annie.
Zhang Zhan, who is standing aside with a giant sword, Dai Junming, a fat man wearing a purple gold mask, and Li Feng, a tall and serious young man standing beside him.
And, Peng Wu, who was thrown here by Zheng Yu and didn't know what to do, could only take out a handful of melon seeds he had taken from the void space and eat them while watching the show.
However, no one paid attention to the inappropriate sound of eating melon seeds.
It's not that they didn't care, but they didn't dare.
After all, Annie, who was sitting in the main seat and was now the new mayor of the Frozen City, didn't stop it. They all knew what they were doing.
You know, the four bodies on the castle are still hanging there.
And the pile of bodies piled up like a hill at the gate of the castle, they were the private soldiers raised by George, all died quietly.
Even other managers who didn't experience what happened last night, after seeing such a scene, they consciously shut up.
"Are they all here?"
Annie's voice was cold, and after confirming that all the former managers of the Frozen City were present, she nodded to Daisy who was standing at the door.
Annie's personal guard Daisy closed the door of the castle hall and stood alone in front of the door.
She looked like she was blocking the door.
"Sir Anne? What are you doing?"
Without Blizzard's door-closing action and Daisy's fully armed standing posture, it is hard not to think of the worst.
And the one who asked the question was the guard who once stood firmly beside the lion.
Logan, the strongest guard in the Frozen City.
Only he dared to ask Anne in such an occasion.
"Uncle Logan."
Annie called him with a respectful title.
"How many years have you been with my father?"
Logan answered neither servile nor arrogant: "Since I can remember, I have followed Lord Lion, and it has been 50 years now."
Annie sighed, "50 years..."
"Then will you be loyal to me like you served my father?"
"Of course."
Logan said without hesitation.
"But why don't I see your loyalty?"
Annie asked calmly.
As soon as this sentence came out, the whole venue fell into a dead silence, because they all knew that in the entire Frozen City, the person who was most sad about the death of the lion was not the descendants of the lions, but the personal guard who had accompanied the lion for nearly fifty years.
He was called a personal guard, but in fact he was a close friend closer than blood.
In fact, Anne had no evidence to prove whether Logan was loyal or not. Just based on what Logan said just now, Anne could already conclude that Logan no longer intended to serve her, the new city lord.
Because... he answered too quickly.
Whenever Logan hesitated, Anne thought it was normal. Answering without hesitation meant that he had made a decision long ago.
And Logan's silence at this time also confirmed Anne's guess.
Logan raised his head and looked at Anne. His hand was not on the sword at his waist. He just asked in confusion: "Are you sure you want to take this road of no return?"
"What is the road of no return?" Anne asked back.
Logan shook his head with a smile, "You really look like your mother."
"How? In appearance? Or is it the road of no return you mentioned?"
Annie knew what Logan was going to say.
They look alike in more than one way.
Because Anne was walking the same path as her mother.
She told the lion the truth at the beginning. She really didn't hate the lion, because it was not the lion but her mother who forced the entire lion family to this point.
The lion... was just a cowardly loser.
She hated the Iron Emperor who caused all this.
"I'm sorry, I have to stop you. You will lead this frozen city to destruction. The lion bloodline cannot be buried in your hands."
Logan's voice became heavier, as if reminding Anne that he would really do it.
But Anne shook her head and said softly, "I should be sorry."
After that, Anne turned her head and stopped looking in Logan's direction.
It was this action.
The next moment, the entire palace was completely shrouded in black fog.
Then everyone smelled a faint smell of blood.
The black fog dissipated.
Everyone found that there was only Logan's headless body left on the ground, blood gushing out from his neck, and the sword in his hand was not even completely pulled out.
What happened?
This was the question that popped up in everyone's mind.
The strongest guard of the Frozen City died just like that?
Without any ability to fight back?
Is it true?
Now, no one dared to look down on this young girl in front of them, who even had a cute face.
Killed her father first.
Then killed her brother.
Kill the disloyal again.
After a set of combined punches, there will be no one in the Frozen City who opposes. No matter how outrageous Annie's words are, she has to shut up for the sake of her life.
"Now, who has any questions?"
"..."
"The Lion will still be the Lion in the future, but will no longer have any relationship with the Iron Emperor of Spring City. Does anyone have any meaning?"
"..."
"The biggest problem facing the Frozen City is not the cold and barrenness, but the monsters behind the ice wall. We will suspend the stupid behavior of raising tigers to harm ourselves and send troops on a certain day. Who has any objections?"
"..."
Who dares to object?
Annie even stood in front of Logan's body and spoke while stepping on the blood on the ground. Anyone who dares to make a sound will become the second Logan.
It may even be worse than Logan.
As for Annie's two decisions that almost violated the Lion's family motto, in the eyes of normal people, this is equivalent to dragging everyone into the fire pit together.
It is disobeying the Iron Emperor and actively provoking the one behind the ice wall.
No matter how you think about it, it is a suicidal behavior.
But the black fog just now, and the strength that killed Logan in almost the blink of an eye, made these two decisions seem acceptable.
As expected, strength is everything.
It is more useful than any power!
...
Zheng Yu also watched the whole scene in the void.
Actually, it was not considered watching, because the one who killed Logan was his own... King of Hell. Logan's strength was stronger than George, almost infinitely close to the level of a demigod.
But an apostle is an apostle, and a demigod is a demigod. If the two did not have various buff bonuses like Zheng Yu's summoned beast, then this level would be huge.
In addition to the overwhelming strength, the King of Hell killed Logan in an instant. Another point is that Logan had given up resistance the moment he saw the black fog.
He only resisted Annie, and had no intention of killing her.
Because once Annie was killed, it would be like he had ruined the last bloodline of the lion. He just wanted to use his death to remind Annie.
"President, I found her."
At the same time, Zhang Min sent a message.
And sent a picture.
The picture shows a very vast ice surface, which is why Zhang Min took so long to reply.
The ice wall, to be exact, cannot be called a wall.
It is a layer of ice cliff.
There is another world above.
Zhang Min found this place according to the strength of the breath.
On the smooth ice surface, you can see densely packed corpses frozen into ice blocks, as well as those monsters that look like old women that are also frozen.
But these are not the point.
The point is that in the center of them, there are three coffins standing upright on the ice surface. The god-level energy that Zheng Yu felt was emitted from these three coffins.
A huge coffin in the middle.
The coffins on both sides are small and the smallest, so small that they can only hold the size of a child.
And the breath of the so-called "old acquaintance" that Zheng Yu felt was the smallest coffin.
"It's you, Xiao Qi."
"No wonder you didn't react when I came. It turns out... you are also part of her energy reserve."
Zheng Yu looked at the picture sent by Zhang Min, and his eyes became gentle.
...
