The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Chapter 437 Wait

It took more than half an hour for the convoy to arrive at the foot of the city wall.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Chen Xiong climbed the city wall.

When he climbed the city wall, Chen Xiong saw the airship that the soldiers in the distance had mentioned.

It was indeed very large. Although it was far away, it was very clear, which showed its amazing size.

"City Lord!"

On the city wall, a man came over with a team of soldiers.

He wanted to get closer, but was stopped by the city lord's guards.

With a smile, Lu Hu handed the pistol on his body to the soldier behind him, turned around on the spot, and indicated that he had no weapon.

Seeing this, the city lord's guards who were blocking the road made way.

Looking back at Lu Hu who came to his side, Chen Xiong said calmly: "You always like to run outside, how come, do you know them?"

At the words of the city lord, Lu Hu smiled embarrassedly, with an embarrassed look on his face.

He knew what the city lord was hinting at. His last experience at the Shuangfeng Shelter had made him tell the city lord about the existence of the Shuangfeng Shelter. When he arrived at the Shuangfeng Shelter with the city lord's guards, he found that the Shuangfeng Shelter was empty. Although he obtained a large amount of supplies left by the Shuangfeng Shelter, the man was the most important cargo.

The city lord would naturally not be happy about the wasted trip, but he could not blame him. After all, the Shuangfeng Shelter existed, but they went too late.

Looking up at the airship in the sky, Lu Hu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it. It shouldn't be a new human. However, the other party's strength cannot be underestimated to make such a big guy fly into the sky. But... why did they appear? Why did they stay there?"

Looking back at the airship in the distance, Chen Xiong's face changed. He said in a deep voice, "The other party must have a purpose for appearing here. We must be on guard. Lu Hu, I will let Wang Gang assist you. You two will guard here together. Keep an eye on the other party. Report the other party's every move to me in time. Do you understand?"

Lv Hu lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes!"

Without saying anything more, he glanced at Lu Hu beside him, and Chen Xiong turned and left. Surrounded by a group of guards, he left the city wall and returned to the convoy.

Standing by the city wall, looking at the convoy going away on the road under the city wall, Lu Hu's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm.

He is just a lucky man. If the daughter of the previous city lord had not fallen in love with him, how could he become the city lord. At the age of more than 30, Lu Hu married the daughter of the city lord who just turned 18. He had to admit that it was important for a man to have a handsome face. Otherwise, how could that guy be favored by the city lord's wife?

Time passed by little by little. Outside Shangyang City, the huge airship had been staying in place. The humming engine roared for three days and three nights. For the soldiers on the city wall, from the initial novelty to now, it has become a torture.

It was noon, and lunch was in progress in the restaurant on the fourth floor of the airship.

The restaurant was still very large and could accommodate hundreds of people for meals. More than a thousand people were divided into three time periods and three batches for meals, which made the restaurant noisy.

At a dining table, a group of people sat. Although there were empty seats on the table, no one dared to sit.

Li Meng was with Chen Bei'er, who was next to Li Meng, and sitting opposite were Wei Qiunan and Zhao Hongwen. The two were husband and wife, so it was natural for them to sit together.

They were all at the same table. Next to Chen Bei'er were three squadron leaders, as well as the two sisters Zhao Yuyan and Zhao Yufang. Two of the three airship pilots were there, and Xie Yun was on duty.

"Captain, do we have to wait any longer?"

Zhao Hongwen, who was sitting next to Wei Qiunan on the opposite side, asked.

The food on the plate was still very rich, with a fried egg, a duck leg, a plate of fried long beans, a bag of pickled mustard, and a portion of rice.

These foods were not produced by Black Flag City, but from the New World.

In the last transaction, various countries pulled in a lot of messy food, the amount was huge, some were returned, and most of them were collected. The New World's food production capacity was overcapacity, and many countries wanted to take advantage of this transaction with Black Flag City to sell all the overcapacity food to Black Flag City.

Li Meng, of course, had to do this. In terms of food, Black Flag City was not rich, so of course it would accept everyone who came.

At present, the animal husbandry and agriculture of Black Flag City have been suppressed to the extreme, leaving only a foundation. There will be no large-scale development in a short period of time. Only after the settlement circle plan is completed can agriculture and animal husbandry be developed on a large scale, because only then will there be enough fertile land, unlike now, in order to develop industry, the land in the Xiping Lake Basin is tight.

After a mouthful of fried eggs, Li Meng said: "No more waiting, I will set off at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Zhao Hongwen asked again: "Captain, are you going in person?"

In response to Zhao Hongwen's words, Li Meng said: "None of you are suitable to go, and you can't deal with emergencies. Only I am the most suitable to go. At least when facing life threats, I can come back alive."

Why is the captain so confident?

This is the doubt in everyone's mind, but no one will question it.

Because the captain is not an ordinary person, he has a convincing temperament, and no one will doubt what he says.

On the opposite side, Wei Qiunan looked at Li Meng with a pair of beautiful eyes, with only admiration in her eyes.

After just one glance, Wei Qiunan retracted her gaze. Her husband was by her side, and she couldn't show it too obviously.

She couldn't control her inner desires. The only thing she could do was to make sure her husband would never know about the impure relationship between her and the captain. Even if she had to go to hell after death, she would accept it.

After lunch, Li Meng returned to the room and changed into a light black long coat.

After changing clothes, when Li Meng came to the hangar on the third floor, a Vulture transport plane was ready behind the No. 1 port.

"Captain, why don't you wear protective clothing? The radiation outside is serious. You will get radiation sickness."

Seeing the captain walking out of the elevator in a thin black long coat, Zhao Hongwen hurried to greet him.

At the end, Zhao Hongwen looked at Wei Qiunan and Chen Beier behind Li Meng.

Facing her husband's gaze, Wei Qiunan just shook her head and smiled bitterly.

The decision made by the captain was not something they could interfere with.

Walking past Zhao Hongwen, Li Meng said, "It's okay, I took anti-radiation medicine, there will be no problem in the short term."

Of course, Li Meng did not take anti-radiation medicine, because it was unnecessary, because his body was not ordinary, it was a cultivated construct, let alone radiation, even if he drank a bottle of the most poisonous poison in the world, there would be no problem.

In front of the rear hatch of the Vulture transport plane, Li Meng stopped and turned to the people behind him and said, "I will be away for a few days, or maybe I will be back soon. I will leave this place to you. Keep in touch. I will contact you at any time."

After saying that, he nodded to everyone and turned to board the Vulture transport plane.

As Li Meng entered the cabin, the rear hatch slowly closed.
