Chen Xiaolian agreed to meet at a resort in the middle of the lake, but in a park in the center of the city.

The main body of the park is a hill, surrounded by a river on one side and bustling shopping streets and residential areas on three sides.

Chen Xiaolian lay on the bench, holding his head in his hands, enjoying the afternoon sun.

On the lawn not far away, a few tourists are feeding pigeons, and a few children are flying kites.

When the appointed time just arrived, Chen Xiaolian also heard Adric's voice.

"Chen Xiaolian. ”

Chen Xiaolian turned over and sat up, looking up at Adric.

He stood in front of a bench, dressed in a simple casual suit, with no weapon in his hand, and looked like a white-collar worker everywhere.

"How did you choose this place?" Chen Xiaolian greeted Adric and showed a friendly smile.

Adric looked around and frowned: "The first time you saw me, this was it? You didn't ask me to come here to see the scenery, right?" ”

"I'm not talking about the scenery, I'm talking about the terrain. Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "I think you have already surveyed the surrounding terrain before you came in." This park is in the downtown area, and there is a river to the north. ”

"I didn't understand what you meant. Adric shook his head.

"Sincerity! This is my sincerity!" Chen Xiaolian was a little frustrated, feeling that he had thrown a pretty eye to the blind man: "The river helps to block it, and the downtown area means that you can't fight a big fight! If you come to see me alone, your heart will probably be a little empty, so I deliberately chose a place that will be very safe in your opinion! It can make you sure that once you are in danger, you can escape immediately!"

"I see, but ...... You're thinking too much. Adric laughed, but with a hint of desolation in his smile: "Since I'm here, I didn't plan to run away." Because I know very well that if you really want to kill me, I won't be able to escape. ”

He sighed softly and continued, "You're the only one who has been able to give me this feeling since I became the head of the Dark Knights. Even the day of Chen, he failed to do this. ”

"You're thinking very openly. Chen Xiaolian didn't expect Adric to be so relieved, and patted the other half of the bench under his buttocks: "It's okay, even if you don't have this plan, at least I showed my sincerity first." Have a seat. ”

"Tell me, what the hell do you want to see me do. Adric didn't sit down, still standing in front of Chen Xiaolian.

Even though he knew that it would not be difficult for Chen Xiaolian to kill him if he really wanted to kill him, his attitude was still resistant and stiff.

"From the destruction of City Zero to the present...... It's been more than half a year. I don't know where you've been hiding these days, but it's not going to be so good. I remember...... Most of the people who eventually withdrew at that time were not the main combatants, right?"

"Yes. Adric replied briefly.

"What if...... I can provide you with a new Zero City, can you do a good job as a leader?" Chen Xiaolian's tone was light, but the words he said struck Adric's heart like a bolt of lightning.

"What?!" Adric squeezed two words out of his throat.

"A new City Zero. Of course, it's not that perfect at the moment. More precisely, just a blank. That's why I need your help. Aren't most of the people you evacuated being technicians?"

Adric's eyes flashed with a blank look.

On the way to come, he thought about thousands of possibilities, but he never thought that Chen Xiaolian would give such an answer.

"You...... You're not kidding me?" Adric quickly collected his emotions and forced himself to compose.

"If it's a joke, it's too boring. Chen Xiaolian shook his head.

"Take me to see it. Where is it?"

"It's everywhere. Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Let's go, let's go find a place where no one is." ”

The top of the mountain, a secluded corner.

Chen Xiaolian stopped, looked left and right, and confirmed that there were no other tourists.

A curtain of light hung down in front of the two of them.

"Please, Mr. Adric. ”

......

When Adric stood in the central square, even with his composure and the city, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Although there was only a vast flat land around him, the central square at his feet was completely familiar to him.

"I haven't been to Zero City very often, and I'm not familiar with the surrounding buildings. The only thing that can be restored by memory is this central square. Chen Xiaolian said behind him: "The rest is up to you." ”

"Rely on me...... Guys?" Adric turned his head sharply.

"Yes. As you can see, it's just an empty city now. So, I want you to bring all of you and everyone you lead here and restore this place to what it was to be in the original City Zero. And after that, this New Zero City will once again become the holy land of the world of the Awoken!"

"What the hell are you ...... What are you going to do?" Adrick felt that he couldn't see through Chen Xiaolian at all.

He built this "New Zero City" himself!

Looking at the current appearance of the central square, it means that the layout here is completely determined by him.

What it means to have a Zero City monopolized by Chen Xiaolian, Adric can't be unclear.

But looking at the meaning of what Chen Xiaolian said just now, it turned out to be to make the former Zero City resident team ...... again Ownership?

Why did Chen Xiaolian give the meat in his bowl to others?

How can there be such a fool in the world who makes wedding clothes for others?!

"Because I need to unite all the awakened. Hear me clearly, I'm talking about everything. And I ......" Chen Xiaolian understood what Adric was thinking: "Although he has enough strength, he does not have enough prestige. To put it bluntly, there are very few people in the entire world of the Awakened who know me. How much time will it take me to find people to bring in one by one, so the most convenient and quick way is to borrow your fame and let all the awakened know that City Zero has been resurrected again!"

"Resurrect the corpse?" Adric took a deep breath: "What you want is the legal system of Zero City." ”

"It's really thorough, smart!" Chen Xiaolian gave Adric a thumbs up.

That's the reason.

No matter how strong Chen Xiaolian was, it was impossible for him to accumulate enough prestige in a short period of time to integrate all the Awakened Ones together.

On the contrary, even if the remnants of City Zero are now weakened enough to survive, their former prestige is still not to be underestimated.

Once the news of the rebuilding of City Zero spreads, the shocking and explosive power of this news will cause an uproar in the world of the Awoken. No matter how strong Chen Xiaolian is on his own, he will never be able to do this.

This is like after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu completely relied on himself to build the world, but he still wanted to hang the name of the Han family.

After the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei almost had no half-dime relationship with the Eastern Han royal family in terms of blood, and he still had to continue to call his country name the Great Han.

Even Liu Yuan, a Hun man, had to forcibly recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and hang a signboard for himself as a Han clan.

No matter what year it is, the signboard is always important!

Adric looked at Chen Xiaolian's high-spirited expression and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

"What are you not satisfied with?" Chen Xiaolian sighed: "Compared to your current situation of hiding in Tibet, this is already many times better, right?"

"Certainly not dissatisfied. Adrick shook his head: "How good it will be for us, of course I know it very well in my heart." I was just...... I didn't expect that I would work for you one day. What am I going to call you? boss?"

"Come on, I don't like this. Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "I don't plan to accept any subordinates." Strictly speaking, we're partners – rest assured, I'm not going to kill a donkey. ”

Adric smiled noncommittally.

"Then, you should be able to tell me the coordinates of your base now, right?" Chen Xiaolian glanced at Adric with some amusement: "You can hide for so long without being discovered by others, and you can really hide." Where the hell is it?"

"Antarctica. The exact location is ......" Adric reported a latitude and longitude.

"No wonder. Chen Xiaolian was slightly amazed in his heart. Where the remnants of Zero City were hiding place, he had thought about it before, but he didn't expect to run into that kind of ice and snow.

In the hasty evacuation, there were certainly not many supplies that the remnants of Zero City could carry. In order to cover up the presence as much as possible, it is necessary to avoid going out as much as possible. These days, it must have been very hard.

"Supplies are almost at the bottom. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have made up my mind to meet you. Adric sighed lightly: "Actually, supplies are a trivial matter. The point is that for more than half a year, I have been involved in all copies of all personnel. ”

"Huh?" Chen Xiaolian was surprised, but soon understood.

Most of the evacuees from Zero City are logistics personnel, and the reinforcement is not high. Although it is not a weak group of ordinary team members who are scattered, once they meet in the dungeon, even if they can win the battle, it is impossible to kill the opponent completely without any information leakage.

Not to mention, some of the dungeons are not competitive dungeons, and even simply limit the killings between those involved, but instead require cooperation to complete the mission.

This also means that once you participate in a quest in a dungeon, the traces of the remnants of City Zero may be exposed.

But after losing the shield of Zero City, those logistics personnel who didn't need to participate in the dungeon now have the possibility of being drawn!

Obviously, Adric personally went into battle in every dungeon that had City Zero personnel involved, and then ordered everyone else to hide and complete the dungeon alone.

He relied on himself to replace all the people in Zero City for more than half a year!

"You...... It's awesome!"

Chen Xiaolian went through the situation of Adric these days in his mind, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
