Chapter 817 - Investigated the Fettered Dimension (1/2)

“Alright, alright!” Chu Fan gritted his teeth. That was exactly what he wanted to do. But after being ordered by Qin Feng, he was beyond irritated.

Looking at Chu Fan’s frustration, Qin Feng found it amusing.

“I will be leaving then. See you in a month.” Qin Feng left the central square after waving Chu Fan goodbye.

Chungluo City had completely turned into an abandoned ruin. Because of a small-scale beast wave, it was more shambolic than before.

Qin Feng found an old truck and steered it to bump away those wasted, once valued more than a few hundred million high-class hovercrafts. He crushed all the way through the north.

The engine howls of the truck startled the beasts and humans wherever it passed by. People who remained in the city had been traumatized by the beast wave and no longer had the courage to leave their vaults. They all thought Qin Feng must have been out of his mind to make such a glaring tumult out there.

Qin Feng, as usual, cared not about how others thought of him and did things his way.

He banged on all the beasts coming at him and left behind a trail of beast corpses.

Eventually, the giant truck exited the overlapped area and entered the actual Fettered Land.

On the outside, of all the people saved by the Fengli organization, some had chosen to leave together with them. They boarded the aircraft and were on their way to Fengli City.

The rest stayed and waited for shuttles arranged by the Zhongcheng Organization.

One of them was Li Yuanshan. He glanced back at the less than ten thousand people who had to make the same decision as him, and suddenly doubted his own choice.

His doubt mattered little, though. He would not surrender himself to Qin Feng anyway.

As compared to the people who stayed, those that had chosen Fengli and left through the latest portal technology earlier stirred envious thoughts.

“Argh! I should have chosen Fengli.”

“Liu Chong has left. Are we going to rebuild Chungluo or not?”

“Why didn’t I choose Fengli?! When will the shuttles from Zhongcheng arrive? Would there be danger traveling by the route in the wild?”

Fear toward the uncertainties lying ahead spread feverishly among them. Through their never-ending complaints, it was not difficult to tell that their loyalty toward the old Chungluo City had completely evaporated by now.

Unfortunately, their future held not much of a promise too.

As the transporters from Zhongcheng finally transferred the last batch of refugees away from the city, Chungluo had officially become a no-man’s land. Nothing left in this forbidden land was worth staying for.

In stark contrast, Fengli City was more vibrant than ever.

The population of Fengli had multiplied overnight. The already large city in the first place was being continuously expanded. It had now reached the fourth ring of the city wall due to the ever-growing constructions.

Even so, there was hardly a vacant spot inside the city.

In less than two years, Fengli City had developed into a great metropolitan little had first envisioned it to be. The joining of one B or C-tier would bring in a large band of followers. It then created a positive loop as more people would follow suit to be part of this prosperous city clearly in an upward trajectory.

This was, however, probably as large as the city could stretch. To spread the city past this point would require too much modification of the land in the wild. A lot of cities had thus restricted the maximum expansion at the fourth ring, including Fengli City.

To further develop, there was only one way left—surrounding colonies.

As such, places that were once barren desert at the south of Fengli City had been transformed into three large colonies. Its size was close to Chengbei colony, and they were named respectively as *Fengchi, *Fenghuang, and *Fengcheng colonies.

At first, these three colonies served as the production line to complement the main industries inside Fengli City.
