Chapter 269 – Gathering

“Is there something they want to inform me?”

Yang Tian was slightly hesitant about what attitude to give the military, but since they issued the conferment letter and Yang Tian has agreed to the arrangement beforehand, he would not be backing out.

The city underneath Sky Halberd King Manor was split into four sections with the floating rock as its center. The land the city occupied was over ten thousand kilometers square, Yang Tian named the city: Sky Halberd City.

Sky Halberd City was now at a fledgling stage, the buildings were based on modern era style, but due to the limitation of time and materials, the constructs were relatively crude and simple.

However, their current goal was only to house the population, and Yang Tian believes that amongst the large population, there would undoubtedly be hidden talents. These individuals would certainly provide great assistance to the construction of Sky Halberd City.

In the five remaining days, they complete most of the remaining tasks.

Inside Sky Halberd King Manor, except for Yang Tian’s Sky Halberd Palace, there were literally no other buildings. That was why Yang Tian expressed to Lei Xing and Xu Dafu that he wanted to construct a Magic Energy Hall and Combat Hall.

The Magic Energy Hall will be focusing on Magic Energy Equipment research and they will recruit metahumans with abilities that are related to Magic Energy Equipment. While the Combat Hall will focus on recruiting metahumans that excel in combat. Yang Tian’s forces were ultimately one that sides with the humans, he could not always rely on Dark Slime Monsters during fights. The Combat Hall was also Wang Yu’s idea, her consideration was more detailed and she has the belief that the Combat Hall would be something indispensable in the future.

Plus, the appearance of Ji Tian Luo this time had further confirmed her thoughts.

Yang Tian tacitly agreed, he did not mind about such matters, but if his subordinates were willing to take charge and handle it, Yang Tian would not interfere with it as well.

“The two of you will be in charge of this matter.”

“We will complete the mission.” Lei Xing and Xu Dafu replied excitedly.

Lei Xing’s specialty in Magic Energy Equipments were the guns; this was also an important area of Magic Energy Equipment as it was related to combat ability in the current Post-Apocalyptic Era, it was why the Rank 3 Gunmaster Lei Xing was given this mission. As for Combat Hall, the Carnivore Xu Dafu was given the role because the name Carnivore held great power in the Post-Apocalyptic Era. Besides, with Wang Yu supporting him from behind, there would basically be no issues.

Both Lei Xing and Xu Dafu gathered two hundred Mid Rank 3 Dark Slimes each to assist them with the construction.

Regarding construction, it was the Magic Energy Hall that had the advantage in both speed and quality. Simply put, the exterior defenses of the Magic Energy Hall were made of Rank 2 materials, while the interior was made from Rank 3 materials. The Combat Hall, on the other hand, was much simpler, Rank 1 materials were used for both interior and exterior.

In the five days, Wang Yu wrapped up the works within Sky Halberd City while Lei Xing and Xu Dafu focused on the construction of Magic Energy Hall and Combat Hall.

On the sixth day, Ji Tian Luo brought a large group of people to the surroundings of Sky Halberd Domain. To move such a large number of people, they needed to set off four days earlier than scheduled, with a small portion dying due to the attacks of mutated beasts and insects.

The Nine City Lords have received Yang Tian’s notification a long time ago and knew that a large number of humans will be staying in the newly constructed Sky Halberd City.

C City was located Northwest of Sky Halberd Domain, to enter the domain, the people needed to enter through Northwest City first. Northwest City was packed due to the people, but fortunately, the remaining eight cities have dispatched metahumans over to assist with the traffic and passage.

Yang Tian also arrived at Northwest City. His estimate was that this large population would need at least a day to move from Northwest City to Sky Halberd City, the only good thing was that the group would not encounter any danger when traveling towards Sky Halberd City.

Ji Tian Luo and her team also followed the group, it looks like they would only relax when they were done with escorting the group into Sky Halberd City.

“Domain Lord, there seem to be at least a million people? Our food supplies might become a serious problem.” Wang Yu highlighted with a faintly shaking tone.

“We will not take care of these people for nothing, how are the preparations?”

“Its… all ready.”

Yang Tian got Wang Yu to prepare one square kilometer of land with over a thousand units of various farming tools scattered on it. However, what can be planted in the Post-Apocalyptic Era? Even if they have the seeds, it will still require time for them to mature and be harvested.

What Wang Yu did not know was that Yang Tian had performed another transaction with a Planes Merchant a few days ago and exchanged for seeds that were very suitable to be grown in the Post-Apocalyptic Era.

Splitter Cauliflower 

Splitter Cauliflowers have an extremely high rate of growth and reproduction, requiring only three days to cover ten kilometers of land with Splitter Cauliflowers.

During the late periods of the Post-Apocalyptic Era, the Splitter Cauliflowers was once treated as an invasive species due to its ridiculous reproduction and growth rate, literally to the point of being on the verge of losing control. It was until several hundred high-ranked Fire Metahumans worked together that the situation was finally controlled.

Splitter Cauliflowers are edible but tasted awful, plus they did not possess any nutritional value and could be even be treated as rotting corpses. However, Splitter Cauliflowers was suitable for their current situation.

Splitter Cauliflowers can be given to the new arrivals to grow, but Yang Tian would assign Dark Slime Monsters to the region surrounding the planting area to immediately control the plants by burning them when there were signs of overgrowth.

Currently, Yang Tian had a total of a hundred Splitter Cauliflowers seeds on him.

“That will be enough.”

Other than Splitter Cauliflowers, Yang Tian also had other plant seeds but these plants were unable to grow as quickly as Splitter Cauliflowers. However, once they accumulated enough Splitter Cauliflowers, the farmers can focus on growing other plants.

After passing through Northwest City, the group had walked for several hours and had to rest after reaching their limit. As the people were now inside Sky Halberd Domain, Yang Tian had no choice but to supply them with food; he had already prepared the supplies in advance and got Wang Yu to distribute them.

The food that was supplied to the group before they set off was consumed some time ago, that was why even Ji Tian Luo was starving as well. Fortunately, Wang Yu had prepared food for Ji Tian Luo’s group as well and gave it to them during the distribution.

After eating the food, Yang Tian did not allow the group to rest further and got them to start moving again.

The group paused to rest one more time after that, but the food distributed this time was not as much as the first time, only a morsel.

By morning the next day, the tired group of ordinary humans finally reached Sky Halberd City with fatigued bodies. When they saw the city, all of them heaved a sigh of relief.

A portion of them even noticed the farming tools scattered outside the city.
