398 Forceful Till the End! (1/2)
Time flew by. Soon, three days passed!
The city wall sealing the three autonomous zones had been fully constructed the day before. Under Lin Tianhao's supervision, the height of the wall had been increased compared to what had been previously planned. From afar, it looked like a real mountain range, and its height surpassed the tallest building within the three autonomous zones. It was clear that the scale of its construction was considerable.
The new city had no lack of resources and human labor. Regardless of how much thicker or taller the walls were to be made, it could be accomplished within a short period of time. After the construction had been completed, Lin Tianhao hadn't considered at all how Chen Mu and his people must be feeling inside their city zones. However, he guessed they must be feeling intense pressure looking at the three-hundred-odd meters tall giant wall.
In fact, that was indeed the case…
Wen Huai was about to go mad. He saw the towering walls and felt immense pressure. It felt as if he and his people had become real criminals who were trapped and imprisoned inside.
Fang Jing felt the same as well. The expression on her face was dark, and her unhappiness wasn't only directed towards Wang Baole but also towards Chen Mu. Based on hers and Wen Huai's original plans, they hadn't found the need to create such a tense relationship with Wang Baole after they arrived and began their self-governance of their autonomous zones. However, Chen Mu had been filled with self-confidence. The two, in their hesitation and uncertainty, hadn't resisted against his ideas.
At present, Wang Baole had only given them a small taste of what he was capable of, and they were already feeling miserable because of that. Despite their contacting the Federation and the Martian administration, neither had come back quickly with their responses. This made their heads throb even harder.
Chen Mu was having a headache as well. He had similarly made a complaint to the Federation about Wang Baole. He had even sent a voice transmission to the Martian Colony Governor to lodge a report against him. He had heard nothing from either… and he didn't feel comfortable chasing for replies repeatedly. He watched as three days passed. The walls beyond their autonomous zones towered like mountains, seeming to block light from shining in. Chen Mu began to panic as well.
If this had been the end of it… he might have tried to tolerate the situation and wait for the Federation and the Martian administration to handle this matter. However, he had no idea what Lin Tianhao was thinking. After the wall had been built, he seemed to feel that it hadn't been tall enough. He had gone to Wang Baole and requested to increase its height further.
Wang Baole had felt that he shouldn't kill Lin Tianhao's enthusiastic work attitude and had nodded in approval. Upon receiving Wang Baole's support, Lin Tianhao had immediately perked up and ordered for the height of the city walls to be increased!
I'm anticipating the City Lord's concerns and worries and echoing his cheer when he's happy. Through this incident, I'll be able to make my alliance clear to the City Lord and improve our relationship on a deeper level! Lin Tianhao had been pleased with his actions. Since becoming Wang Baole's follower, he had come to understand where he stood. He also knew that he had no reason to compete with Liu Daobin.
Liu Daobin is only an administrator. What I'm trying to be… is someone who gets things done, and who is irreplaceable!
Lin Tianhao began bustling again. Chen Mu and gang were driven further into madness as they watched the walls grow taller and taller. Countless cultivators continued building the wall through the day and night. The pressure on the three mounted. At this rate, they worried that Lin Tianhao was going to build a giant lid for the three autonomous zones…
”This Lin Tianhao, he's just a lapdog!”
”Wang Baole only said to build a wall. This Lin Tianhao is too much. Is he building a stone coffin for us? Is he trying to seal us in?”
Chen Mu and his gang weren't the only ones frantic and terrified. The cultivators inside their zones who were from the various political forces had all been shocked by Lin Tianhao's crazy actions. Everyone began cursing him in their hearts. Chen Mu and his gang could no longer keep a lid on their anger. They led their people to the walls and were prepared to disregard the city walls and force their way out.
At the precise moment when they were about to charge out, numerous cultivators guarding the city walls dashed over. They surrounded the walls instantly. Lin Tianhao's figure appeared on the city wall. He stared down at Chen Mu and his people and said coolly.
”Mayor Chen, stop!”
”Lin Tianhao, you dare stop me!” Chen Mu raised his head and stared unblinkingly at Lin Tianhao. A cold glint flickered in his eyes.
”Stop you?” Lin Tianhao raised his eyebrow. His eyes narrowed, and his voice echoed in the air.
”The City Lord has ordered. There are still monsters running amuck after the new catacombs appeared. To ensure the safety of the autonomous zones, military rule will be enforced. Without the necessary approval, no one is to enter or leave the autonomous zones!”
”Lin Tianhao, are you trying to make complete enemies out of the Five Generation Sky Clan?” Chen Mu didn't bother mincing his words when speaking to Lin Tianhao. The cold light in his eyes intensified, and his cultivation began to spread from his person.
Wen Huai, Fang Jing, and the cultivators standing behind them did the same. They looked ready to battle.
