Chapter 386: Chapter 186: The Wonders of Dan, Beyond Words_3

"I could actually say this is the will of the Fortress, to have an abundant supply of soldiers for the war against the Blade Beasts, or perhaps, to use the existence of the Lower City to motivate the Middle City and Upper City."

"But I can’t summarize these issues this way... It’s actually our incompetence."

"Incompetence?" Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "Xiao Zhou, you’ve changed quite a bit recently."

"One tends to reflect on life habitually in prison."

Zhou Zhengde smiled and admitted openly:

"Essentially, we need more people, but we don’t have the resources to sustain such a population."

"Most of the surface areas are occupied by Blade Beasts, and Spiritual Ability City is still exploiting local war zones in various ways."

"The class transition from Lower City to Middle City, and Middle City to Upper City, ensures that the humans who step out of the Fortress to fight the Blade Beasts have sufficient motivation. The fundamental reason is still this."

"The Fortress Era has lasted for over eighty years, and I don’t know whether I hate or feel helpless about the ecology of the Fortress Lower City. The only thing I’m sure of is that only by returning to the surface and living in the sunshine can humanity truly thrive and multiply on this planet."

"Although that day is still far away."

Wang Jixuan nodded in agreement.

Xiao Zhou has indeed helped a lot this time.

Tree Man Beta’s gaze was full of emotion, and Shen Qionglin was pondering something.

Shaman, although feigning indifference, watched those huddled shapes in the dim light, her expression gradually becoming melancholy.

"But they have no choice," Shaman said softly.

Zhou Zhengde spoke in a low voice: "In the Fortress, between Middle City and Upper City, the everyday food rations for all non-combatant professions vary little, and most of the time, everyone eats emergency food, those made from proteins of unknown origin."

Tree Man Beta asked softly, "What about the infant care center... Oh, right, that’s for the children."

"Protecting the children means protecting the hope of civilization," Shen Qionglin said softly, "I still prefer the atmosphere of Middle City, where everyone survives by labor."

Wang Jixuan shrugged his shoulders, gesturing for Zhou Zhengde to move on.

The Daoist said seriously, "Let’s not talk about these melancholic topics anymore. If you are dissatisfied with the world, change the world. If you can’t change it, mind your own business. There’s something else I brought you down here for today, something rather secretive..."

Ding Ding!

Zhou Zhengde’s communicator on his wrist vibrated a few times. He looked down at it and said hurriedly:

"Sorry to interrupt, the Commander wants to communicate with you. He’s asking if there are any of those magical pills left that can melt on their own?

"There are dozens of old half-human Mechas in need over here, urgently!

"The shell instructor has already reported to him, saying he feels very good now, with all metrics better than ever, the kind of good where you could punch out the Six Elders."

"Yes, but they can only be started in the afternoon. I have to do one thing at a time."

Wang Jixuan asked:

"Have they finished at the border?"

Zhou Zhengde tapped on the communicator quickly, replying as he did: "Today’s Blade Beast offensive is relatively weak, they’re likely gathering more forces. We’ve deployed more mechanical bodies to fill the battle line."

"All right, let Lao Fu be shocked later; I’ve got business to tend to first."

Wang Jixuan looked towards Shen Qionglin:

"Underground, there once was an undeveloped Blade Beast nest, inside which some glowing stone slabs remained.

"Blade Beasts often lay on these stones, probably absorbing Spiritual Energy to fill their Crystal Cores.

"I’ve been studying this for a long time without any leads, but I think if it’s an authoritative expert in spiritual cultivation civilization, there might be some unique insights."

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Shen Qionglin’s lips curved in a smile, a hint of pride in her grin.

She nodded gently: "All right, I’ll do my best."

Zhou Zhengde raised his hand and said: "The Commander is asking, can there be more of that medicine? Two hundred pills, is it possible? The Six Battle Zones have a large batch of meritorious half-human Mechas... This is really important!"

"It’s possible, but they have to wait in line."

Wang Jixuan was not surprised.

No one could resist the temptation of longevity, especially not the worldly elites.

"Have Lao Fu moderate his emotions; I don’t want to give any advantage to the enemy."

"Understood!" exclaimed Zhou Zhengde, his voice also filled with excitement.

Shen Qionglin blinked.

How many things are there that she had never heard of before? How miraculous.
