Chapter 597 The Old Lady Is Quiet, She Must Be Making Trouble.
"These are the monsters hiding in the blizzard?"
Zhang Zhan looked at the white-haired monster on the ground and couldn't help but complain: "This one looks too much like an old lady. It's so ugly that it makes me want to laugh."
It's not that Zhang Zhan is exaggerating on purpose, it's just the fact.
He originally thought that the howling monster in the blizzard, with such a haunting voice, must be a scary monster in his imagination.
Unexpectedly, they turned out to be dry and thin old ladies.
It really left Zhang Zhan unable to complain.
"It's really ugly."
The leader, a fat man named Jesh, echoed.
Jesh was once the general manager of the Frozen City. His strength was ranked among the top five in the Frozen City. His previous status in the Frozen City was relatively high.
However, Jesh felt that there was no change between now and before, except that he had a different master to serve him, and it was the same for everyone.
After all, several people with higher status than him were hanging on the top of the castle and frozen into popsicles. Compared to them, being alive was the most important thing.
"You haven't seen what these things look like?" Zhang Zhan asked curiously.
Jesh nodded and replied: "In the past, the male lions did not allow us to attack them. When the snowstorm came, William would release some of the reserved slaves. As long as they were fed, they would leave."
"This time it was Lady Anne's request to drive away these monsters, so we took action."
Zhang Zhan continued to ask: "How much do you usually need to feed?"
"They will come once every ten days. At first, a dozen or so were enough for them to eat. Later, the number gradually increased, and now we need at least a hundred people."
"Then every six months, we will take the initiative to send a thousand slaves to the ice wall."
"Besides slavery?"
Zhang Zhan asked according to Zheng Yu's prompts.
Zheng Yu believed that slavery alone might not satisfy the appetite of the person behind the ice wall.
"In addition to slavery, the stones that are processed in the factory are actually special items made from various materials."
Zhang Zhan nodded, "So, building the city wall is not just a cover, but the purpose is to give him something?"
"This should be the Iron Emperor's order, right?"
Jesh shook his head, "I don't know about this. The lion gave the order, and we are only responsible for executing it. As for what these stones are, and why the person needs these things, I don't know either."
"We will make a large amount of stone every six months, and then let about a thousand slaves be responsible for transporting it."
Zhang Zhan's voice was low, "The slaves responsible for transporting the stone don't even know that they are also food."
"Uh...yeah."
Jesh could hear the dissatisfaction in Zhang Zhan's tone, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
He has lived here all year round and has long been accustomed to these things. He doesn't think there is any problem, but there is no way. The frozen city has changed hands, many things are changing, and he has to make changes.
It was obvious that Anne and the newly promoted Chief of Guard did not like what the former lion had done.
But Jesh was still a little worried, and cautiously asked Zhang Zhan, "Master Guardsman, are we really going to fall out with that guy in the future?"
"Falling out?"
Zhang Zhan laughed coldly, "This is not something you worry about."
After saying that, Zhang Zhan ignored Jish and others and waved them all to leave.
Jesh hesitated and decided to shut up.
Although he is worried about the future of the frozen city, mainly for his own life safety, under the current situation, he has to consider his status.
As an important figure in this power change, Zhang Zhan is not something he can afford to offend.
Because Anne has almost handed over the management of the entire frozen city to this newcomer, she has to bow her head even if she refuses to accept it.
Jesh winked at the few guards around him who were also at the management level of the Frozen City, and silently exited the castle.
"It seems that you are not convinced."
When Zhang Zhan was the only one left in the castle hall, a black mist suddenly appeared, and Zheng Yu's voice joked.
Zhang Zhan chuckled and turned to look at Zheng Yu who was walking out.
"I guess they even want to escape secretly. This frozen city is already dead in their eyes."
Peng Wu, who came out with Zheng Yu, said, "I don't blame them. If I were them, I would be scared to death now. After all, Annie doesn't look very reliable."
"Who is this?"
Zhang Zhan looked at Peng Wu curiously.
He has a strange face and is an ordinary person, but he walked out of the dark mist with Zheng Yu. You must know that you have never enjoyed this kind of treatment.
He has always been curious about what kind of space is behind these elusive black fogs.
"Peng Wu."
Peng Wu took the initiative to introduce himself and did not hide his joy at seeing Zhang Zhan.
"Zhang Zhan."
Zhang Zhan also responded politely.
"Of course I know you, Yushen's boss, the leader of Yushen's fan club, the strongest pendant, the mayor who understands Yushen best..."
Peng Wu named Zhang Zhan in succession.
Although the word "pendant" is not a compliment, if it is Zheng Yu's pendant, it is a compliment. After all, not everyone has this qualification.
"Forehead……"
Looking at Peng Wu, who knew him better than himself, Zhang Zhan glanced at Zheng Yu.
"friend."
Zheng Yu explained.
These two words not only made Peng Wu's eyes light up, Zhang Zhan also looked at Peng Wu in surprise, and then couldn't help but say: "There is something."
In other words, at this stage of Zheng Yu's life, anyone who can still be Zheng Yu's friend is not ordinary.
What's more extraordinary is that Peng Wu is even an ordinary person.
That's even more interesting.
After Zhang Zhan and Peng Wu exchanged a few words, Dai Junming brought Li Feng to the castle. When he saw the dozen or so old woman-like monsters on the ground, he sighed "really ugly".
And he also met Peng Wu.
Li Feng envied Peng Wu for being able to appear in such an occasion. If he had taken the initiative to give up the so-called "S-level resources" at the beginning, he would be in a completely different situation now.
This is beyond doubt. Just take a look at the comparison between himself and Tao Qian.
Now he is at most a secretary, and Tao Qian is already the most eye-catching one among the top professionals in Jiuzhou.
It can only be said that time and fate are also.
Envy.
Dai Junming doesn't care much about Peng Wu. He cares more about the problems exposed by the corpses of these monsters.
Dai Junming said: "We took the initiative to kill these monsters, but Zhang Min did not send any information. Does it mean that there is no way for them to transmit information?"
"Not necessarily."
Zheng Yu shook his head. Intercepting the monsters in the blizzard was their plan in advance.
The purpose is to see the reaction of the ice wall.
Whether Zhang Min stepped on the ice wall or the death of these monsters, there was no movement there.
Zheng Yu said: "She shouldn't be so quiet."
"Quiet doesn't mean that the other party doesn't know."
"On the contrary, if she reacts, that's what I want to see most."
"It takes so many slave lives, either to break through the realm, or to do something disgusting."
"No matter which one, I don't want to see it."
Zheng Yu thought for a while and said to Zhang Zhan: "Go tell Annie and find a reason. We have to seize the time and take the initiative to attack."
"The old lady is quiet, she must be making trouble."
"She can bear it, but I can't."
