Chapter 796 - Reshuffle
A small bottle tied to a parachute landed in the city. Several aptitude users rushed toward it and picked it up, which was then passed to Li Yuanshan.
Judging from the scene, although Guan Shan was the deputy mayor, and Li Yuanshan was just a finance minister, his position obviously held more power.
Meanwhile, writings on the notes seemed to have troubled Li Yuanshan. He was frowning and livid from the content.
“One day later, the passage will reopen, General Qin will select those who are eligible to pass through, if anyone were to disobey the order, the spatial passage will not be opened again—Fengli Organization!”
“What is written on it?” Guan Shan approached and asked.
Li Yuanshan held onto his burning urge to tear the note into pieces and disclose nothing to the others, but obviously he was not given the authority to decide.
What if Li Yuanshan chose not to inform Qin Feng about it? The rescue box was controlled by someone from the outside, if they were to go against Qin Feng, the outsiders would certainly not save any of them!
“Guan Shan, tell me the truth, those outsiders, are they all Qin Feng’s people? What about our people?” Li Yuanshan asked in a deep voice as he passed on the note to Guan Shan.
Despite the loud quarrel earlier, Li Yuanshan knew that it was the moment where collective energy mattered and cooperation from everyone counted. He could not afford to incite anymore disagreements.
“Minister Li, it was inappropriate for me to tell you earlier, and I had to be harsh to you earlier. Now, we cannot afford to provoke Qin Feng anymore. Jiang Haolin has already escaped and informed the duke. However, judging from the situation, it seems like even the duke is unwilling to save us!”
“How could this be?” Li Yuanshan instantly clenched his teeth, he was in disbelief of Guan Shan’s statement.
Guan Shan forced a laugh, “Why not, it is totally normal, you should have already felt it. Chongluo City is stuck in a spatial overlap with another dimension. Furthermore, it is an unknown eerie dimension, a Fettering Land, a land that restricts the release of consciousness and internal strength!”
Li Yuanshan was disgusted, he had some guesses in his mind, however, the actual outcome had struck him with extreme despair.
“Has the alliance confirmed this? It is just the first day, are they really planning to give up?”
“Obviously, there will be no official confirmation on such a decision, the city would most probably be abandoned in silence! At least there is still hope in the situation now, from the past spatial overlap that happened twice, both of them had ended tragically. Now, at least Qin Feng’s wife has control over some spatial ability to open up a spatial passage. What would happen next after entering it? There would be no ability users or ancient warriors, who else would be there to facilitate the rescue mission? It would even be an impossible task for the duke! Hence, it is the reason why we were abandoned!”
Li Yuanshan was confused and indecisive. On one hand, he wanted revenge for his nephew very badly, on the other hand, he could not afford to provoke Qin Feng.
It was at that moment, frightening screams were heard from afar. Both of them looked to the side and noticed that Qin Feng had already climbed up the city wall.
It was an extremely solid and sturdy city wall, a city that was protected by A-tier aptitude users. Even the walls were carefully built by B-tier earth ability users, so the materials were extremely solid. Although the protection from the earth ability users might not be there anymore, even the stiff and unyielding materials were unmatched against the Verdant Emperor Saber.
With just several cavities engraved onto the wall, Qin Feng had managed to climb up the wall.
“General Qin Feng, how is the situation out there?!” Guan Shang immediately asked.
The others had also asked while keeping on with their tasks. As all of them looked outside, they were shocked and turned pale.
They noticed that as time went by, the plants and wood were growing faster, and the numbers of the jade green vipers had grown, there were at least thousands of them.
The crowd present was actually more than the number of the vipers, however, the capabilities of civilians were definitely no match against the ultra beasts.
The ultra beasts were at about F2-tier, but the humans were weak and not awakened.
“Is there any flammable materials on the city wall, else, look for fuel, pour it down, flame them to death!”
“Ah! Quick, go get some, light up the fire!” Guan Shan immediately ordered his people, and he was even assigning tasks to civilians.
The civilians knew that it was a life-or-death moment, they were urged by the aptitude users and began to look around for fuel and flammable materials.
Meanwhile, the jade green vipers were crawling up along the city walls, aptitude users were armed with weapons to cast the vipers away and items were thrown down onto those ultra beasts.
A civilian witnessing the scene finally voiced out a question in mind.
“Aptitude masters, why not use your internal strengths, what about your abilities?”
The question had also drawn attention from the others. When observed carefully, the large crowd was moving everywhere, and there was quite a large portion of the crowd that was equipped with aptitude user badges. After all, the city was always stationed with many aptitude users.
Surprisingly, the aptitude users were mixing together with the civilians. If it was not because of the badges on their chests, nobody would have noticed their identities.
All of them reacted clumsily to the battle, some of the aptitude users were even hiding behind civilians and staying at the most secured spots. They were unwilling to participate in the battle.
“Everyone is in the battle, why are you hiding behind a woman, are you even a man?!”
One of the women voiced out in dissatisfaction.
The man that was pointed out immediately raised his arm and slapped the woman, he roared, “Shut up, whether or not I join the battle is none of your business, who are you to judge me?”
Actually, he was a coward in disguise, an E-tier aptitude user. In Chongluo City, he would not be considered a powerful figure, which was why she questioned him without fear. He was afraid of being exposed, if he were to be sent on a mission, would that not be a death sentence for him?
However, the crowd that was initially unaware of the situation overheard from the quarrel between Li Yuanshan and Guan Shan.
“I overheard that our city is currently overlapped with another dimension, a city that has zero presence of energy. Therefore, the aptitude users are unable to use their abilities, even the ancient warriors are unable to use their ancient battle skills!”
“What?”
“Is that true? Then, who will protect us?”
“I don’t know, I noticed that some of them are still quite powerful!”
The rumour passed on from one to another. The woman that was slapped instantly realized that the man before her was a tiger that had lost his fangs so she immediately raged with anger.
It was an unexpected situation that had caught everyone off guard. The truth was, everyone was irritated, anxious and desperately needed a way to vent out their feelings.
They even felt that they would not survive the day, hence, the woman could no longer contain her sufferings of being bullied as she roared in anger, “How dare you hit me, who do you think you are? I don’t care who you are!”
She was a plump and strong woman, approximately one hundred and seventy-five in height, and about two hundred catties in weight. She seemed to be a savage person, and she definitely had some talents up her sleeves that allowed her to gain such excessive weight during the A.C Calendar time.

A palm that was about the size of a cattail-leaf fan was slapped down, and the aptitude user was instantly dazed and could not even react to defend himself.
The others who had witnessed the chaotic scene were all surprised by it.
Aptitude users, such an honourable title, and they were definitely the rulers of the world.
But now, the rulers had lost their ring of light, perhaps a reshuffle would soon take place in the massive Chongluo City!
