Chapter 105: Return to the City

Suddenly, a guard soldier ran over and said, "Sir, sir, the head count has been completed, no more, no less than 10,000 people."

Luo Ren reacted quickly and immediately seized the opportunity to leave Su Antong's arms and said to the guard soldiers: "Well... I understand, you can go down."

Then he walked between Su Antong and Liu Lianxin, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am being petty, there are ten thousand people." Then he looked at Su Antong and said: "An Tong, you take the escort with you Arrange for these 10,000 people to stay first, and we will return to the base tomorrow.”

Su Antong glanced at him, then looked at Liu Lianxin, then snorted coldly, and led the escort to settle 10,000 civilians. When leaving, she gave Liu Lianxin a warning look.

Liu Lian watched Su Antong leave with disbelief.

After Su Antong left, Luo Ren said to Liu Lianxin: "Lianxin, you have worked hard all the way. I will prepare a banquet for you later."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders." Liu Lianxin said with a smile.

…

As the first rays of sunlight break through the sky, the sky and earth transform from night to day.

On the balcony, facing the not-so-warm morning sun, Luo Ren stretched and suddenly saw Luo Shan, Luo Hai and Luo Ji walking towards the City Lord's Mansion. He smiled slightly and jumped down from the balcony on the second floor. Zhengzhao fell in front of Luo Shan and the others. When the three saw Luo Ren, they greeted, "Sir."

Luo Ren looked at Luo Ji and said with a smile, "Here he comes."

Luo Ji said: "Here we come."

According to the original plan, the last batch of Hu City's population, all the escorts including Luo Ren, would escort them back to the base, and then Hu City would become an empty city. Who would have thought that Liu Lianxin would bring him another surprise? After receiving the goods, Luo Ren specifically told Luo Jiluoli to send one person to bring 500 escorts to Hucheng again, and together they would escort 10,000 people back to the base.

Now that the people have arrived, Luo Ren immediately ordered the gathering of the escort and the ten thousand civilians.

After a while, the square was crowded with people, with civilians in the center, and the escorts were divided into four teams to protect the people in front, back, left and right.

The city gate opened, and this huge team left the city in an orderly manner.

At the gate of the city, Luo Ren looked at the team leaving the city. Liu Lianxin stood beside him. Luo Ren said: "Hu City is now the fifth sanctuary city of your Wasteland Kingdom."

Liu Lianxin said: "The current Hu City is just an empty city. If you want to become the fifth sanctuary city, you still need a population and military strength. This will take time."

Luo Ren nodded and agreed. After all, even with his system, he could not gather a large number of people in a short time. He asked: "By the way, Lian Xin, after building Hu City into the fifth shelter city, what will the city lord do?" Who will you assign the position to in the Wasteland Kingdom?"

Liu Lianxin smiled mysteriously and said: "The king of Hu City has left it to me. Who will be the city lord of Sanctuary City No. 5? Brother Ren, can't you guess?"

Luo Ren stared at Liu Lianxin for a few seconds, then suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I understand, I understand, from now on I can no longer be called Deputy City Lord Liu, I have to be called City Lord Liu... Haha."

When Liu Lianxin heard this, she deliberately acted like a little girl and said coquettishly: "I hate it. Brother Ren, just call me Lianxin."

"Oh, I'll go." Luo Ren almost coughed, why did he suddenly look like this? He quickly looked around, but he didn't see Su Antong, and he was relieved.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Lianxin returned to her seriousness and said, "Hucheng is not far from the base. I need you to take care of me in the future, Brother Ren."

Luo Ren said: "No problem."

While the two were talking, the team had all left the city. At this time, Su Antong came over. Seeing Luo Ren and Liu Lianxin were so close, she felt unhappy. She came to Luo Ren and gritted her teeth and said: " My sir, the team has all left the city, can we go?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ren immediately said to Liu Lianxin, "Then I'll take my leave."

"Well..." Liu Lianxin nodded reluctantly.

Su Antong felt uncomfortable seeing such a scene of farewell, so she immediately grabbed Luo Ren's arm and walked towards the city gate.

Liu Lianxin looked at Luo Ren's back and was surprised.

…

The mighty team set off to the target base.

Since there were not enough vehicles, we could only walk on foot. Ten thousand people were guarded by the escort. They kept walking and talking. The most common conversation was, "What is the place like where we are about to arrive?" place”

"Are we going to die?"

"Are we going to be slaves."

"..."

Setting off in the morning, the time quickly reached noon, and the journey was only just over halfway.

Luo Ren ordered a half-hour rest, took out dry food and distributed it to more than 10,000 civilians to fill their stomachs and replenish their strength. There were still two or three hours of journey ahead.

The civilians got the food and ate it, but they were not grateful to the guards or Luo Ren for the food, nor were they sure whether they would be oppressed or die when they arrived at the so-called base.

A small number of them even think that these delicious foods are given now just to appease them, or to give them better physical strength to go on the road. In the end, the cost of these foods will be squeezed out of them exponentially.

But even thinking like this, they did not dare to resist, because although they had more people than the guards, the number was limited and did not present an overwhelming comparison. Moreover, not all 10,000 people were desperate, so they could only pray that the ruler of the new place of survival was not the kind of person who would eat people without spitting out bones.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and the team continued on the road.

The sun at noon was hanging high above everyone's head, emitting dazzling sunlight in all directions, but these seemingly scorching sunlight fell on people, and people did not feel hot. Instead, a gust of cold wind blew, and the warmth brought by the sun was immediately dissipated. Many people wearing thin clothes could not help but hold themselves and shiver, so people hoped that the sun would be hotter.

Time passed by, and the position of the team kept changing. After nearly three hours of walking, a big city finally came into view.

The civilians exclaimed that even the walls of the No. 1 shelter city were not as tall as the walls of the city in front of them, and they could even be described as a small witch meeting a big witch. They thought about it and couldn't figure out how the ruler of this city built such a big city in less than a year. It was incredible.

When they entered the city, they were even more unbelievable, and then ecstatic, because they saw that the residents inside were full of energy and healthy, unlike them who were more or less malnourished.

Moreover, when the guards returned to the city, these residents spontaneously lined the streets to welcome them. The eyes of the residents looked at the guards were full of respect, and the eyes of the residents looking at Luo Ren were full of admiration.

Such performance was enough to show that the ruler of this city was not cruel, and would not eat people without spitting out bones. This gave them hope for their future life, and maybe they could live better than in the Wasteland Kingdom.
