Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 497: Expel 413
Massacring everyone is too bloody, and it would be troublesome to settle scores with the various gangs and factions that have followed us here.
Instead, these "troublemakers" who either refuse to undergo surgery or have failed the procedure have finally all gathered together. Expelling them from the country outright can restore calm to the city once again.
Only by cutting away the rotten flesh can the remaining body grow healthy once more.
In this dark and chaotic era, it’s nearly impossible for ordinary people without the city’s protection to survive.
Whether these people die of thirst or hunger outside the city’s influence, get eaten by other creatures, or realize the hardship of life outside and come back begging for forgiveness or scrounge to stay alive in the shadows, it’s all good for the city.
With this as a warning, other city dwellers who harbor ambitions due to this act of defiance will be better able to appreciate the city’s importance to every individual.
Demands? What demands?
Do civilians think they can have a say in the city’s hierarchy just because they band together?
Naive!
Do you really think the city doesn’t know about those filthy crevices outside the walls, where filth accumulates?
A heap of garbage that we couldn’t be bothered to look at twice gathers together, which is also a great opportunity to sweep them out of the body.
If you think the rules of this city are unfair, then leave the city!
A man nearby, grinning and holding a pile of supplies, heard what the noble had said. He stiffened and stood there dumbfounded.
He had ventured into the wilderness far from the city and seen nothing but endless wild grass on the vast land.
The howling of wild beasts stretched from the distant horizon to the sky, with not a single spot in sight suitable for human habitation.
The panic of leaving the city’s protection and struggling to survive in the wilderness swept over him in an instant.
The supplies he was holding scattered unconsciously to the ground as he ran over, head knocking against the floor like a madman, "No! My lord! No! Don’t send me away! Don’t send me away!"
As he knocked his head on the ground, he frantically pushed away the various supplies that he had just treasured, as if his life depended on it, "I don’t want them! I don’t want them! I want nothing! I’ll undergo the surgery! My lord! I’ll do the surgery!"
Between a chance and certain death, he just wanted to gamble on his luck.
Watching the man kneeling and knocking his head, the nobles dressed in black tailcoats slightly pursed their lips without a word, arrogantly raising their heads, waiting to see how these "successfully rebelled" leaders would deal with it.
Not far away, a native in charge of distributing supplies saw this and immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over.
His belief in the "Glorious Goddess" sincerely fulfilled him, and he felt nothing but disdain for the man’s pleas for mercy, kicking the groveling man while the devout believer loudly scolded, "Get up! Get the hell up! Have some dignity! Sheng Yan has allowed us to finally stand tall as humans, and now you’re crawling back to being a dog!"
Another figure hurried past this "devout believer," knelt beside the first man, and likewise begged, "My lords! We know we’ve been wrong! We won’t dare again! We’ll undergo the surgery right now! Please, lords, don’t drive us out of the city!"
The nobles dressed in black tailcoats stood tall and proud, exchanging glances of satisfaction with each other.
’See... just with a casual command, these wretches start fighting among themselves.’
The leading elder glanced toward the direction of the other forces watching eagerly from a distance, and with a sneer of contempt for the two men groveling on the ground, said, "It’s a shame, my people... You’ve made the wrong choice and must face the consequences. Allowing you to take these supplies and leave is the greatest mercy we can offer."
"Let’s go."
Gong Yan’s face remained calm, showing no sign of joy or sorrow, as she turned away.
Watching the young leader’s frustrated retreat, the tailcoats’ chins lifted slightly, proud as victorious roosters.

"Everyone, take the supplies you’ve been given and go!"
At this command, most people still followed Gong Yan and the others, holding the supplies they’d just received, filled with endless confusion and the possibility of excitement or enthusiasm, as they headed for the city gates.
Dai Lian turned back to look at the dense crowd behind him, his heart filled with worry, "Where are we going to take them?"
Gong Yan’s lips slightly curled up, completely lacking the seriousness she had in the face of the city’s nobles, "I just hope our lady doesn’t blame us for picking up so many extra hands..."
"My lord…" Dai Lian’s voice trailed off hesitantly.
Their lord might not care.
"But can we really bring all those people back with us?"
The wilderness in the background of this game was definitely not a playful amusement park.
When the four of them arrived, if it wasn’t for their small target and strong capabilities, they might not have been able to traverse the vast space between the two cities.
With a team of more than a thousand people, besides themselves, the remaining players, including the combat-capable natives, were actually not numerous, and their strength was certainly not strong.
If they hadn’t been unable to make it in the city, why would these people join them in such a risky endeavor where they risked their heads at their belts?
How to bring these people back to Blackwater City was a big problem.
"I don’t know~" Gong Yan spread her hands.
After leaving the previous counterattack, she seemed to have returned to the kind-hearted girl who always smiled gently, speaking softly with laughter as if she had never been worried or anxious.
The girl looked back at the team following her and said with a smile, "But they all trust us~"
"They trust you…" Kuang Xin muttered softly.
Looking at Gong Yan’s profile, he felt that the girl had become much brighter than when he first saw her.
Perhaps, he should learn from Yanzi?

Bai E was somewhat surprised to receive the mission feedback.
The feedback on combat abilities was scarce, indicating that those players didn’t get much opportunity to take action.
The significant increase in Science — Psychology, however, suggested that he had perhaps bamboozled those native NPCS into working for them?
But had the mission been completed or not?
Bai E grew anxious without more information.
Time was slipping away second by second, and the time left for the players was definitely not abundant.
As the days drew closer, the two warriors from Grey Iron City at Nova’s side inched closer to the brink of genetic breakdown every day.
He could not go back on the promises he made; breaking them would not only hurt those who trusted him but would also likely leave an indelible stain on his own conscience.
’Or perhaps, go to meet them?’ he thought.
After returning from the server ruins, he had already completed the overall handover and reporting of this mission. His involvement as an ordinary warrior wasn’t crucial, and fulfilling the overall escort process was the full extent of his duty.
As for whether the main objective of the trip was achieved, what did that have to do with him, a mere foot soldier?
With no urgent battles at hand and the Mech Armored Corps training not requiring his presence, Bai E, once again enjoying his freedom, felt lively.
’Why not take everyone for another round near Grey Iron City?’ he mused.
As for the excuse? That was easy.
Why not just accept a minor mission in the direction of Grey Iron City? Experience more on novelbuddy
