The location chosen by Ling Chen is not within the safe zone of Uptown. The safety zone is too small, more than 10 million people can barely squeeze in, and there are many high-rise buildings, so he doesn't join in the fun. The most important thing is that the original sphere of influence of the Dongfang family was not in the inner city, and after the fall of the Dugu family, its power was also quickly divided by others, and if you want to let the various large and small forces spit out the meat that they eat in their mouths, they will have to bleed once, and this is not necessary at all.

Early the next morning, the first day of the Lunar New Year, countless people began to board boats, bend north along the river and then go east, enter the ancient Dongjiang River and drive north for some distance before going ashore, and then continue all the way east. That's right, the location Ling Chen chose was in the northeast of the city outside the upper city, where there was a large area of land and far from the densely populated area.

Ling Chen stood on the bow deck, and did not set off with the first wave, the ships under his feet were all hired from the upper city, but it didn't cost much. Originally, it was not so easy for more than 2 million people to travel by land, but it was easier to travel by big ship. It's a fairly wide river, so you don't have to worry about traffic lights or a vehicle suddenly coming out of the side.

There were also several Awakened Captains around him, and Xu Ling set off with the first wave of the team with a blush when he saw him in the morning, and he couldn't see at all where the other party got the courage to take the initiative to seduce him last night.

"Brother-in-law, why did you choose here, it's so far away from the city!"

As soon as he got off the boat, Dongfang Liang, who had been waiting on the shore, saw him at a glance, and ran all the way, behind him there were Dongfang Yue and several veterans of the Dongfang family, these veterans are not old, the reason why they are called veterans is because they have been tested and proved to be loyal, they can be regarded as old men.

Subconsciously touched the other party's head, and then Ling Chen suddenly realized that the person in front of him would be the future head of the Dongfang family, obviously it was not appropriate to do so, he put his hand down and said: "Although this is a peripheral abandonment area, most of the insects attack from the inside of the upper city and from the west, so there are not many insects here, and most of the high-rise buildings have been completely preserved." And this place was originally dominated by living quarters, so it would be very comfortable to live in, and there are several rivers around it, which can block the insect swarm, isn't this terrain good? ”

Dongfang Liang scratched his head: "But staying away from the crowd makes people feel very dangerous." In the future, there will be no helpers in the face of insects, what if this place is surrounded? ”

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Dongfang Liang listened to Ling Chen's firm voice, and then he felt a little relieved, for some reason, after hearing what his brother-in-law said, he just believed it inexplicably.

At this time, Dongfang Yue also walked over, looking at Ling Chen's gaze was very soft, she took out a sachet from her arms and handed it over: "This is a sachet made by me myself, there is a jade pendant in it, it can keep people safe, I'll help you bring it." ”

Seeing Dongfang Yue's raised hands, which seemed to have the intention of helping him bring them up, Ling Chen couldn't help but be silent for a while, which made him think of another jade pendant......

He reached out and took the sachet, a red sachet with a beautiful pattern embroidered on it, a small river of two animals...... Ling Chen glanced at it and put it in his arms, "I still prefer to put it in my arms." ”

Dongfang Yue nodded gently, the smile on her face was even brighter, and the people around her were smiling ambiguously, but she ignored it and stood there generously, there seemed to be only Ling Chen in her eyes.

"Let's go, go to the command center, there are still many things to do, the third wave of insect attacks will come the day after tomorrow, and the time is really urgent."

Ling Chen waved his hand, and everyone set off again.

The command center is temporarily arranged in a luxury hotel, just over a mile away from the shore, which can mainly ensure that when the insect swarm counterattacks, it can effectively play the role of command, and not be the first to lose.

"All of us are going to take action, with one goal - to dig up the river, and in addition to the road bridge, to dig the area where we are now into a favorable terrain surrounded by water on all sides. Although on the map, we are almost naturally surrounded by water, which is one of the reasons why I chose this place, but some of the rivers are not wide enough and need to be further increased. And in our own safety zone, there are still several rivers that need to be dug long and wide, and strive to achieve a large square with multiple small squares! Although the time is pressing, you must do it within two days. ”

Ling Chen stood in the conference room, giving orders to the captains of all sizes, this was not a meeting in the strict sense, so the deputy captain was also eligible to participate.

"Guan Ying, because of your outstanding ability to dig rivers, the area in charge of your brigade is also the most important, you have to dig a river channel, lead this inland river all the way south to the Pidgin River, and form a barrier to the east of the command center. This river needs to cross two communities, with a straight-line distance of more than 620 meters, and the task is very arduous. ”

"No problem!"

Guan Ying stood up from her seat, suddenly tilted her head and said, "But the eldest brother, digging the river is so hard, can you give me some rewards afterwards and compete with me once?" ”

Ling Chen's face sank: "Nonsense, this is a serious matter, don't bargain, hurry up and take your people down to work." ”

sent Guan Ying away, and Ling Chen assigned the tasks one by one, and in the end, only Zhou and Li were left.

"Xiao Ling, what are we doing, although we all have old arms and legs, we can still play a role." Zhou and Li were obviously a little dissatisfied with their idleness, and took the initiative to stand up and ask for an errand.

"Don't worry, two elders, I naturally won't forget you, and your task is also very important." Ling Chen said with a smile.

"What task?" The two looked at each other and asked.

"If the two million people want to settle down for a while, it is not so easy to think about it, and the people can choose their own residence, but it is prone to disputes, which requires Division Commander Li to lead a part of the army to maintain order."

Master Li nodded when he heard this, but said another thing: "Xiao Ling, don't call me Master Li in the future, when is this coming, Master Commander is the previous name, just call me Lao Li in the future." ”

Ling Chen also made sense when he heard it, but it seemed a little inappropriate to call Lao Li: "Then I will still call you Commander Li in the future, the commander can have real power or honor, and this negotiation with the Shangcheng military is thanks to your contribution." ”

"Hehe, they're all old guys, I've known each other for so many years, and we all know each other, which gives me some face. I basically didn't help with the specific negotiations, and they were all negotiated by your subordinates. ”

Ling Chen smiled: "Having your face is already the biggest help." ”

"Lao Li has a job, so what should I do?" Mayor Zhou watched the two chatting, but he didn't get the task for a long time, so he suddenly quit.

"Mayor Zhou, don't worry!" Ling Chen turned his head, "With the food we have, after reducing the pressure on a million people and getting the support of Shangcheng, it should be able to support it for a long time, right?" Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is not easy for everyone to come all the way, and there is urgent work today and tomorrow, I plan to distribute some New Year's goods to everyone, and let everyone have a happy life in the last days, what do you think? ”

"Oh, is it the first day of the Lunar New Year?" Mayor Zhou showed a hint of surprise and surprise on his face, "That's a good feeling, or Xiao Ling is thoughtful, and the memory is not easy to use when people are old, so how much do you plan to distribute per person?" ”

"I'll leave everything to you, I won't interfere more, Mayor Zhou is still in command of the original police force." By the way, if you don't have enough manpower to dig the river, you can offer a reward with food appropriately. However, the reward is a reward, and you can't take the opportunity to deduct the people's New Year's goods. Ling Chen added.

"Don't worry, how could I do that." Mayor Zhou deliberately said angrily, "You should know who I am." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to the two of you."
