162: Chapter 162 From Empty City to Chaotic World

"It seems things aren't as simple as I thought. I'll agree for now and see," Mu Cheng said quite dominantly after some deep consideration.

"Choosing a side is your business. As for this place, you can stay if you want; I cannot make a decision on behalf of the entire human race."

"As for the Energy Veinss, don't even think about blocking us, or else you'll only face death!"

After saying that, he left immediately, not giving A-Hu any face at all.

"Big brother, I'll go kill him." Beside him, A-Mo's short temper flared up instantly.

A-Hu remained very calm. "There's no need. We just need to choose a side. As for those Energy Veinss, they are of no use to us at all."

"Mm-hmm, big brother is right. I'll make a trip personally," A-Ge suddenly spoke up.

A-Hu: "Third brother, go! Remember to tell those two that since they've chosen a side, they must show some sincerity."

"Don't worry, big brother!" A-Ge left quickly.

A-Mo also realized the seriousness of the situation. "I'll listen to big brother. I'll go give the orders now."

"Good that you understand. Learn well from your second brother in the future. After all, this place isn't our home turf." A-Hu patted his shoulder and left.

On the other side.

"Master, are we going back just like that?" Xiaoyao asked, very confused.

Mu Cheng operated his high-tech bracelet to transmit information.

"Of course. Don't worry, all nine of these Energy Veinss will be ours."

"I see. Master, you're too wicked." Xiaoyao finally understood.

Mu Cheng said somewhat proudly, "The feeling is mutual. Since they chose to take a side, we might as well make good use of them."

The Ancient Tower office.

"Sister Na, what is Brother Cheng doing? Going straight to mine the Energy Veinss? As far as I know, the Energy Veinss are Skeleton Island itself." Tao Mumu expressed her great confusion, yet she didn't dare ask too much about the reasons.

"Mumu, Nana, pass down the orders. Head to the nine veins and begin mining simultaneously."

Gu Na finished reading the message and studied it over a dozen times. She was indeed stumped and said,

"No matter what, we just need to do as Brother Cheng says."

She only said that, but in reality, she was very worried. He had only been out for less than three hours, and now he was pulling this.

This would be hard for anyone to accept.

"Alright! I'll send people to occupy all the Energy Veinss right away." Tao Mumu ultimately chose to believe.

She operated her high-tech bracelet to give the orders, though she also emphasized that if there was any danger, they should retreat immediately...

On the other side.

"Now, I'll just find a random spot to set up some Energy Gathering Talisman Arrays and black boxes." Mu Cheng suddenly changed his mind.

Before long, he spotted a cave and descended immediately... Inside, he began creating black boxes and inscribing Energy Gathering Talisman Arrays.

"Master, you could set up some medium-to-large-scale defense talisman arrays. That way, the Energy Veinss will be secure," Xiaoyao suggested.

"Good, you're quite thoughtful." Mu Cheng agreed completely and immediately began inscribing the Talisman Arrays.

About three hours later.

Nine defense talisman arrays and over a hundred Energy Gathering Talisman Arrays had been inscribed by Mu Cheng.

"These black boxes can actually fuse with the high-tech bracelet... Isn't that equivalent to an upgrade?" Mu Cheng said, quite surprised by his discovery.

Xiaoyao: "There's definitely no problem with that. Xiaoyao has seen high-tech bracelets before, and their functions are more than a hundred times stronger than what Master has now."

"Forget it, forget it... When they update is their business. We'll just earn as much as we can for now."

Mu Cheng quickly put the matter out of his mind and began creating even more black boxes.

The Ancient Tower office.

"There's a message. It's just as Brother Cheng said; the journey was very smooth, and no zombies were found," Tao Mumu said, shocked once again.

Gu Na thought for a moment and said, "With such speed, I'd guess that these nine Energy Veinss are all connected, and there are also foreign races involved."

"Brother Cheng didn't mention that, but it would certainly explain everything. I'll send more people over right away." Tao Mumu also found it quite plausible.

Regardless, now that the information was accurate, they naturally had to send more people to garrison those nine Energy Veinss.

"Mm-hmm. Oh, and... just to be safe, instruct all the ladies and emphasize that they can only stay on the first floor." Gu Na naturally had no objections, but she still needed to mention the precautions.

Tao Mumu had already arranged everything clearly. "Don't worry! Within a day, we'll just be waiting for Brother Cheng's black boxes and Energy Gathering Talisman Arrays."

The City Lord's Manor office in Guangshen City.

"I say, Sister Yanyan... Since you're already here, why do you have to be so sneaky?" Su Qingyan suddenly put down her work and spoke.

The Sister Yanyan she spoke of was none other than Mo Yanyan, who was currently sitting silently on the sofa.

She was taking large puffs of local tobacco. "You little girl... It seems you can already control your divine power well, no wonder you found me so easily."

"What are you saying, my dear second sister, my dear Sister Yanyan? Can't you get a high-tech bracelet? It would be more convenient to stay in touch," Su Qingyan complained as she sat on the sofa opposite her.

Mo Yanyan suddenly became serious and said, "Forget about that high-tech bracelet thing."

"Let's talk business first. Do you think that kid can really do it?"

"That... Sister Yanyan, I don't know if he can. Why don't you go ask him?" Su Qingyan said with a smile.

Mo Yanyan immediately guessed her little scheme and said very seriously again,

"Stop being cheeky. This is such an important matter. If it fails, the human race will suffer heavy losses."

"Don't worry! It won't fail. With Lingling, the Dean, and his best friend there, what is there to worry about?" Su Qingyan suddenly asked back very seriously.

Mo Yanyan didn't say anything more. "Alright! It seems my worry was unnecessary."

After saying that, Mo Yanyan turned into a shadow and vanished without a trace, as if she had never been there.

Everything was proceeding very smoothly. All nine Energy Veinss were taken by Menglou Pavilion. Of course, on Tao Mumu's side,

She also successfully established a trading network and named it the Menglou Pavilion Chamber of Commerce.

Three days later.

"Things are almost done. It's time to head back." Mu Cheng stopped creating black boxes.

Without any hesitation, he soon returned to the Ancient City with Xiaoyao.

By now, the Ancient City had completely changed. A long defensive line had been established.

"It's only been three days, and the streets are already so crowded. It looks like a lot of people have moved in." Mu Cheng was astonished.

In just three days, skyscrapers had risen, and vehicles were coming and going on the roads... It had completely changed.

"Of course. The allure of the Ancient City is great. I expect the big families have already moved in and brought many ordinary people with them." Xiaoyao was quite certain about this.

Ordinary people indeed have no combat power, but without them to provide logistics, even a super-large family would find it hard to develop."
