46: Chapter 46: Post according to these coordinates!

The group chat fell silent instantly.

[Wang Shuai: Are you serious?]

[Zhou Yun: Serious.]

[Wang Shuai: Alright. @everyone]

[Wang Shuai: Zhou Yun said he wants refugees, as many as there are.]

[Wang Shuai: Everyone who has citizens to expel, and is nearby, send them to him. Let's do a classmate a favor!]

As soon as this message appeared, the group chat exploded.

However, before Zhou Yun could reply, people started responding.

[Understood!]

[Received!!]

[Guarantee to complete the mission!]

...

Just then, the phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a private message from Chu Xinran.

[Chu Xinran: Are you crazy? You already had one batch, are you doing it again this time?]

[Chu Xinran: Wang Shuai is serious this time!]

The message was full of anxiety between the lines.

[Zhou Yun: I really do need refugees...]

[Chu Xinran: You really make me so mad!]

[Chu Xinran: I don't care if you need them or not, hurry up and apologize in the group, say it was a joke just now, and I'll help you smooth things over!]

Zhou Yun looked at this series of messages, feeling amused and helpless.

[Zhou Yun: Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.]

[Chu Xinran: What do you know! You're just messing around!]

Zhou Yun sighed and didn't reply again.

He turned off the phone screen, plugged it into the power bank, and prepared to sleep.

But just as he closed his eyes, a notification came again.

He took a look, it was still Chu Xinran.

[Chu Xinran: I get it now.]

[Chu Xinran: You want to use enough refugees to fill the gap with their lives, right?]

Zhou Yun's brows furrowed slightly.

Fill the gap with lives?

[Chu Xinran: That is actually a pretty good method!]

[Chu Xinran: As long as you can withstand the beast tide, you can just expel the citizens who triggered the execution line afterwards.]

[Chu Xinran: After experiencing the beast tide, those refugees will likely lose at least seventy percent of their population, so you won't have to worry about them becoming a burden. This might be the only way for you to pass!]

[Chu Xinran: I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before!]

Zhou Yun looked at these messages and fell silent.

So Chu Xinran thought he was taking in refugees to use them as cannon fodder to resist the beast tide.

Seventy percent death rate?

Expel the rest?

Zhou Yun's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that the usually gentle Chu Xinran was actually ruthless to the core!

...

On the other side, the discussion in the class group chat was still continuing.

[Handsome, since Emperor Yun said he needs refugees, I think we should help him out!]

[Yeah! Otherwise, he'll think we're unwilling to help!]

[That's right, that's right. If a classmate is in trouble, how can we stand by and watch?]

[Wang Shuai: Hmm, since he wants them, let's just send them all to him.]

[Wang Shuai: After all, he has over five thousand Professionals under him! He can handle it!]

[Wang Shuai: @Chu Xinran He himself begged repeatedly, you can't stop us anymore, right?]

After a moment, Chu Xinran's reply appeared.

[Chu Xinran: Hmm.]

Just one word, simple and direct.

Since Zhou Yun wanted to use the refugees as cannon fodder to fill the beast tide, sending these people over wasn't a bad thing.

At least it could provide Zhou Yun with some "consumables" to resist the beast tide.

[Wang Shuai: OK, since Xinran has said so, everyone who is nearby, please help out! 1024, 3368, send them to this coordinate!]

...

Fourth day.

Early morning.

At the first light of dawn, Zhou Yun woke up.

He washed up briefly, pushed open the door, and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out, he was stunned.

He saw a small, thin figure in the courtyard, holding a broom and diligently sweeping the ground.

It was Xia Nuannuan.

She was wearing a brand-new, light cyan dress, with her hair braided into two pigtails, looking fresh and neat.

Hearing the door open, Xia Nuannuan quickly put down the broom and turned to bow.

"Greetings, City Lord!"

Her voice was crisp and carried a hint of excitement.

Zhou Yun smiled and said, "No need for formalities."

He walked down the steps, sized up Xia Nuannuan, and nodded.

"Hmm, this outfit is nice, it fits well."

Xia Nuannuan lowered her head, her cheeks blushing slightly.

"Thank you for your gift, City Lord."

This new dress was made of soft fabric with fine stitching, and it felt extremely comfortable to wear.

She had looked at herself in the bronze mirror again and again last night, reluctant to get it even slightly dirty.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Zhou Yun asked.

Xia Nuannuan nodded quickly, her eyes sparkling.

"Reporting to City Lord, I slept very well!"

"It was the best night of sleep Nuan Nuan has had in such a long time! I even dreamed of my father!"

Zhou Yun looked at her smile, feeling a slight warmth in his heart.

"That's good. Let's go, let's go eat breakfast together."

"Yes!"

Xia Nuannuan followed behind Zhou Yun like a little deer, step by step.

...

The two walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and headed along the main street towards the West City Gate.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, many citizens were also rushing in that direction.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

"We have to make up for the progress we missed while sleeping last night today!"

"Speed it up!"

...

Just then, someone saw Zhou Yun.

"It's the City Lord!"

"Greetings, City Lord!"

They stopped in their tracks one after another and bowed in unison.

"Greetings, City Lord!"

Voices rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire street.

Zhou Yun waved his hand quickly, "No need for formalities, everyone, please get up."

He looked around and asked with a smile, "Everyone, after sleeping last night, don't you feel much more energetic?"

"Much more energetic!"

"Waking up, I feel full of energy!"

"The City Lord is wise, letting us finish work on time to rest, we'll definitely have more energy to work today!"

"My muscles are already starving for action! Hahaha!"

...

Zhou Yun nodded with a smile.

It seems his mandatory order for everyone to finish work was right.

After all, even if they are Professionals, they are still human.

Since they are human, who doesn't need rest?

Balancing work and rest is the Righteous Path.

...

Just as Zhou Yun and Xia Nuannuan stepped onto the West City wall, a few figures came up to meet them.

"City Lord!"

Lei Lie was the first to step forward and bow with folded fists.

He was wearing a brand-new set of armor today, looking full of spirit.

"The defensive layout for Flower City has already been arranged!"

"Five hundred garrison troops have been set up at each of the East, South, and North gates, divided into three shifts, patrolling day and night."

"Because the West City Gate is close to the new city construction site, the garrison troops have been increased to eight hundred, just in case."

Zhou Yun nodded with satisfaction, "Well done."

Lei Lie's face showed some joy, but he quickly returned to a serious expression, "This is all thanks to the City Lord's wise leadership; this subordinate dares not take credit."

At this moment, Tie Shan also walked over.

This old craftsman had calloused hands, and his face was still stained with some mud and dust, clearly having just come from the construction site.

"City Lord, with the addition of the new batch of citizens, the construction speed is much faster than before!"

His eyes were sparkling, "At this rate, the new city is expected to be completed within two months!"
