At dusk, off-road vehicles drove out of the central city, and a long convoy drove through the desolate plains at a considerable speed.
The two or three cars leading the way were the city guards led by Ji Minzhang. These people were the main fighting force in Central City. Their level of strength may not be the highest, but they definitely have rich combat experience.
Area 026 is as desolate as a fish that is about to die. There is neither grass nor insects on the ground, so there are no snakes, insects, rats, ants, or wild beasts nearby. Their main responsibility is to guard against other cities.
Area 026 does not have a mature supply chain in this area, and obtaining resources from outside areas is more dangerous and expensive. Therefore, sometimes players from some cities come out to rob exploration teams or transport convoys sent by other cities.
Of course, a total of twenty cars came out of Central City today, and each car was full of people. There was no possibility of being robbed... not to mention that the people who were going to rob were already sitting in the car.
Dajiang and Kang Miao, together with the more than 30 people they brought with them, except for a dozen who left with props in advance, the rest were crowded together with the players in Central City. For safety reasons, they were dispersed in In different cars, even though Central City had sent people to explain their intentions in advance, they still couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly, and because they were scattered in different cars, they were very alert along the way.
Central City is not much better. They have more people, but they are the party being coerced.
What Xu Huo showed in the conference room destroyed the self-confidence of all central city elites, including Sha Jia and Ji Minzhang, especially what Xu Huo said after experiencing a quick death:
"Everything just now was false, but if we can't reach an agreement this time, it can become true."
What is true or false? What can't be agreed upon? This is a question held with a knife on their necks. In the face of real strength, any language is pale, and they are not even qualified to bargain.
Fortunately, his request was not too much and he only needed Central City to compromise.
However, this still cannot convince the people of Central City. They are on the forced side.
Of course, Xu Huo didn't care what they thought, as long as things went according to his requirements.
The experiment in the conference room exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that it would be impossible to interfere with so many people equally at the same time. It was probably because the overall strength of the players in area 026 was not strong, so the difficulty of the operation was reduced. In addition, they were concentrated for a long time. At the same time, it also created conditions for him.
So far, his two goals for this mental strength training have basically been achieved.
The first is to expand the coverage of the spiritual world. This range can be controlled more accurately at about 700 to 800 meters, and can extend outward by one or two hundred meters, but the power distribution is weaker.
The second is to learn to control the scope of the spiritual world absolutely, that is, to interfere with people in the spiritual world with equal spiritual power at the same time, within a range of only fifty meters.
But he also had an unexpected gain, that is, the birth of the confusion barrier. Whether it is used on the edge of the spiritual world or inside, it is a layer of protection close to the second space for him, although it cannot achieve the level of creation in the spiritual world. The intensity of the new space, but the wall is real enough to affect a lot of things.
"Mr. Xu, the convoy has to stop and take a rest after crossing the canyon in front." Bian Zhichuan, another friendly player, took over Shajia's communication work. He and Xu Huo were in the same car, co-driving in front.
"Cars in the 026 area must be manually coated and maintained, otherwise parts will have problems if they are soaked in acid rain for a long time."
Xu Huo opened his eyes and said, "You guys have to figure it out. It would be best if we can reach the slums at dawn tomorrow."
Bian Zhichuan nodded and notified other cars through the intercom. After it got dark, the team stopped on the opposite side of the canyon.
There is an umbrella installed outside the car, which will be opened for a short time when maintenance fluid is applied. However, the smell of maintenance fluid is not good, so no one is usually left in the car.
The people in Central City put up a tent to protect themselves from the rain in advance. Xu Huo and other players stayed under the tent to take shelter from the rain, and took care of dinner.
Da Jiang and Kang Miao, who had been holding back all the way, finally found an opportunity to approach Xu Huo and wanted to ask what happened in Central City. Since they were surrounded by people from Central City, they had to politely ask what to do next after reaching the slums.
"The think tank in Central City has already made arrangements for this matter." Xu Huo looked at Bian Zhichuan.
Bian Zhichuan and Da Jiang greeted each other and briefly explained.
Xu Huo's request is that slums should not exist. Other cities, including the central city, must take over some slum members, and no more abandonment of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled will be allowed in the future - these three things can be achieved through water control. To complete it, Central City will cooperate unconditionally.
Other players outside the city may not know the situation, but Dajiang and Kang Miao know that there is no fighting in the central city, and they don't understand what happened in the middle. How could Ji Minzhang, who was so arrogant at the beginning, show his power to them? The others stayed in the team with low eyebrows and submissive eyes.
It was an eye-opener!
"After all, we are all people with conscience." Xu Huo said with a smile: "Besides, Shaka and I have some friendship in other dungeons."
Shaka, who was sitting next to him drinking water, subconsciously touched his chest. The place where he was nailed through in the spiritual world seemed to be in pain.
After resting for half an hour, they were back on the road.
At the same time, nearby cities also started to move.
The news was released from Central City. They will discuss increasing water supply in Yucheng. Cities that are willing will definitely travel to Yucheng all night long. After all, there are not many such opportunities.
And Yucheng, who was in the center of the whirlpool, couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly after receiving the news from the players in this city. They actually achieved their goal without losing anyone. This had never happened in their hard-to-survive years. thing.
So Yucheng called all the players for a meeting overnight. The content of the discussion was nothing more than the appropriate amount of increase in water supply. If it was too much, it was afraid that Central City would not agree, and if it was too little, it was afraid that it would suffer a loss. Moreover, this matter was not completely without variables. The reason why Central City gave in was probably because It was hard to say whether the situation would return to its original state after the foreign player left, so they also expressed "goodwill" to the surrounding cities and tried to work together to make this matter a reality to prevent Central City from regretting it in the future.
Compared with the city that was busy all night in the 01 gathering place, the slums in the corners returned to the dead silence of the past because of Xu Huo's departure. The underground palace ran away, but people in the water shop and casino also discovered that Xu Huo was no longer in the slum. In the hotel, after two tests, it was confirmed that he was really gone. The water shop regained control of the street, drove away the children who had gathered, and tried to redefine the boundaries of power with the casino.
