"Mayor White! Hello! The man in charge of building the city wall stopped what he was doing and exclaimed, "You have come to inspect the exploration of the pit again." ”

For more than a month, the wall workers who were in charge of building the "pit" saw Mayor Bai and Hong coming here every few days.

Except for the most recent attack on the White Market by inexplicable armed men, which was used as a temporary shelter, citizens entered within a two-kilometer radius of the pit and have not set foot in the area since.

After the battle, the army erected a barrier and erected a high canopy, and the two-kilometer radius was no longer allowed for ordinary people to enter.

The "pit" has become a veritable forbidden area and is closely guarded. Irrelevant people can't watch the scenes inside anymore.

"Everyone's worked hard." Bai Hong looked at the workers working hard under the scorching sun, "The city wall is the last line of defense to defend our homeland, and the other citizens are grateful to you. ”

"For the sake of our homeland, we will not give up."

The walls of the area had moved two kilometers outward, and the foundations had taken shape. Dense with large machines, booming and booming, constantly pouring building materials, "One day, we will abolish slavery, everyone will be free again, and we will no longer have to build walls." ”

"For freedom, for the brothers who are still in the heat of the water." They shouted in unison, "Mayor! Rest assured, we will build a strong wall to withstand enemy fire. ”

"Brothers! Come on. White and red shouted.

"Brothers! Come on. Everyone shouted in unison.

Bai Hong smiled with satisfaction, walked through the security gate, and stepped inside.

Glancing back at the abundance of workers outside, he was even more pleased.

In the past month, slaves from other cities have fled and come to the White Market. The population of the White Market returned to its pre-war level, and a wave of pride rose in my heart,

Of the more than 30,000 people who died in the war, it was only a month before slaves who fled elsewhere were replaced.

Bai Hong never expected that the number of people would recover so quickly.

The war was brutal, but it also showed the White Market a path: when the world was at war, the population of the White Market could increase in a short time.

Slaves, who made up 10 percent of the total population, were a huge number. As long as the war is far away from the white market, it doesn't matter if there is no war in the city outside.

"Wait until the population of the white market reaches more than one million." Bai Hong thought, "It's not impossible to attack cities and seize land, take cities one by one, and free slaves all over the world." ”

He hoped that the outside world would not stop the pace of war and keep attacking each other, so that the population of the White Market could rise in a short period of time.

Think about the fact that at the beginning of the city's founding, the number of people was less than 10,000, and after 30 years of steady development, it had a population of 140,000.

"Mayor!" One person's speech interrupted Bai Hong's population train of thought, and it turned out to be the person in charge of this place, "You are here." ”

"Hmm!" Bai Hong looked at the busy clerks, "How is the progress of the survey?" ”

"Nothing!" The person in charge looked distressed, "Compared with our newly dug pit, all the indicators of the two are the same." ”

Bai Hong looks at the newly excavated artificial pit fifty meters from the "pit". The artificial pit is modeled after the "pit" and is built exactly the same.

There were staff members gathered around the two pits, and everyone scratched their heads and ears, thinking and meditating.

"No matter what the difficulty, you must bear it and do not stop exploring." "It can form a special zone in a two-kilometer radius, and it must have its own unique characteristics. No matter how much manpower, material, and financial resources you spend, you must find out why. ”

After the battle, the staff set up the place and asked the soldiers to fire shells to redo the experiment. Once again, the pit was able to send them two kilometers away, and not a single shell could enter the area.

"We're going to get the job done." The person in charge was also determined to find its characteristics, and straightened his chest, "Mayor! We will live up to our mission. ”

"Mayor!" The secretary hurried to Bai Hong, "There is an important private letter. ”

"Oh!" Bai Hong answered, no longer paying attention to the secretary, but walked to the artificial pit with the clerk, and after looking at it for a while, he walked to the natural pit again. The two pits are really identical, with the only difference: the walls of the artificial pit are not as smooth as the walls of the natural pits.

The secretary saw Bai Hong inspect the pit and walked up to him again.

"Mayor!" The secretary handed him a piece of paper directly, "I think you better take a look!" ”

Looking at the serious secretary, Bai Hong took the paper.

The secretary would read to him every important thing, and the secretary was rarely as serious as he is now.

Bai Hong sat down in a chair and picked up the private message to look.

"Mayor White-Red! Don't come unharmed! It is with a heavy heart that I write this private letter to you today. The last time you replied, you said you must come to my city. I have been waiting for you to come to Shushan City. ”

It turned out to be Huangfu Song, the lord of Shushan City.

"It seems that under the current situation, it is impossible for you to leave the White Market, and I have no time to go to your territory.

In this uprising, the people of the world were once again plunged into war, and no one was spared the burning of artillery.

The war was brutal, and it took my nephew, Li Li, the boyfriend of your adopted daughter Bai Lian. I don't know if you're already aware of this?

I'm not writing this letter to tell you about Li Li. Instead, I have already sent personnel to look for the White Lotus, and a month has passed, and there is still no news. I wonder if she's back in the White Market? ”

Bai Hong took a deep breath, the outbreak of war, he had forgotten about his daughter.

"I don't know if Bai Lian died under gunfire for revenge. While the Coalition and Support forces were attacking Qingfeng City, my agents saw White Lotus enter Pu Shao's house, and the whole house exploded. Later, they entered the search and found no body, except for fragments of flesh and bones. The scene was a mess. They also did not find Pu Shao. Perhaps, they were all blown into dust, or maybe.

That's what I know so far. During my half year in Shushan City, Bailian left a good impression on me. That's why I'll let you know.

This! Huangfu Song! ”

After reading the letter, Bai Hong's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"I was so careless that I forgot about my daughter." He blamed himself, "In the explosion, the survival rate of people was only 0.05 percent. How do you say this to Zhao Fen? Dongfang Xian's death was enough for her to be sad. ”

White-red leaned back in her chair and stared up at the canopy.

Hot ~ spicy ~ spicy sunlight crawled on the diaphragm, faintly white clouds drifted by, and a few birds landed on it, chirping.

A large bird flutters its wings, and next to it is a smaller bird, learning to wave its wings.

"Daddy!" Five-year-old Bai Lian, with a red face, grabbed Bai Hong's hand, "I want to learn to swim." ”

"Eun!" Bai Hong nodded, "Ask Mom to accompany you, Dad is very busy." ”

"Nope! Mom has already taught me. Today, I must be taught by my father. Bai Lian pulled at his clothes, "Dad! You've never been with me, and today you're teaching me how to swim. ”

"Good!" Bai Hong put down the document in his hand and squatted down~ his body, "Then you wait for a while, let Dad finish this, and then accompany you." ”

"No!" Bai Lian pursed her lips, "I want now." ”

"Good! I'll go with you now. ”

White-red put her on her shoulders and went to the pool outside and put her in a bathing suit.

"Before swimming, be active." Bai Hong said as she took her to prepare for the event.

"Right...... To ......" Bai Hong supported her body, and Bai Lian moved clumsily according to the action just demonstrated.

Cuckoo!

The birds flapped their wings and rose.

White-red blinked and shook her head.
