Chapter 617 The Leader Isn't Human?
"Menglan? I knew you were lucky, you'd be fine even if you got lost!"
On the Ark side, Cangnian and his group were still wary of the terrifying power of that attack. On the city defenses of Jinmen, after seeing Menglan's true form, one of them leaped up and smiled with delight.
"Brother Feng? You haven't contacted God Capital yet?"
Why are you still on duty in Tianjin?
Upon seeing this person's face, Menglan was quite surprised.
"Hey! You have so little faith in our capital city?"
Don't worry, although the earth shook when the second spiritual energy revival came that day, a large area was created between the capital and Tianjin.
But Tianjin and the capital were only cut off for two and a half days.
It's less than two thousand kilometers away; you can easily find it in the capital.
We all went back to our hometown once, and we only came to be on duty a couple of days ago.
But you, did you overeat again that day?
You've abandoned your post! You'll definitely be punished when you get back!
By the way, Professor Shen's spiritual energy sensing device in Tianjin detected that there were groups of fourth and fifth-level cultivators clustered together in the place you just came from. What's going on?
Was it you who stopped me just now?
Sure, it can withstand an S5-level electromagnetic cannon shot without sustaining any damage.
In today's Beijing, aside from old folks like my grandfather, they'd probably be considered quite prominent!
The man, whom Menglan called "Brother Feng," warmly hugged Menglan, who had shrunk to the size of a normal panda, and then said something.
"Huh? I'm going to be punished too... "
Um, Brother Feng, I didn't stop it just now.
That day I smelled spirit gold nearby, so I ran to look for it.
As a result, the surrounding terrain changed suddenly, and since I have a poor sense of direction, I couldn't find my way back.
Fortunately, I encountered the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, and they helped me find my way back.
That's the place where you detected clusters of spiritual energy fluctuations!
Luckily, they reacted quickly and intercepted the shell; otherwise, if people had died, it would have been disastrous!
Hearing that she would be punished for neglecting her duties, Menglan let out a guilty groan.
Then, it briefly recounted its experiences during the days it was missing, and concluded with lingering fear.
"The Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom?"
Why did they come from the south?
"You kid, you didn't get scammed, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Feng frowned, looking puzzled.
The capital city itself has a large population, and it is home to the most outstanding talents in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
Although the awakening of spiritual energy and supernatural abilities is highly random.
However, to varying degrees, it is also closely related to their individual qualities before the spiritual energy revival.
Just as tigers, as one of the top predators on land, have a much higher probability of evolution than humans.
The higher a person's overall qualities are, the greater the probability of awakening and evolving.
Therefore, the capital city had a very strong overall evolutionary power from the very beginning.
In addition, as the political, economic, military and cultural center of the Dragon Kingdom, the capital city has learned from the lessons of a major earthquake disaster in the last century, so it is well prepared for earthquake resistance.
Even in a small, relatively unimportant northeastern city like Kangcheng, the loss of population from an earthquake alone is enormous.
However, for the capital city, the earthquake during the first spiritual energy revival tide did not even cause more than half of the casualties.
In addition, after the first spiritual energy revival tide, survivor teams from all over the Dragon Kingdom will come to the capital to seek refuge.
Therefore, the capital's power continued to expand, gradually becoming a behemoth.
Before the second wave of spiritual energy revival, the capital city had already effectively controlled a territory within a radius of 200 kilometers, with its control bordering almost to the border of Luzhou.
In addition to the areas under its actual control, the capital also dispatched many teams to gather survivors from surrounding areas to the capital for protection, so as to prevent the Dragon Kingdom from suffering further losses.
A spiritual resurgence, a massive earthquake affecting the entire globe. The population of the Dragon Kingdom has drastically decreased, and the imperial capital, as the political center of the Dragon Kingdom, can no longer afford any further losses.
However, according to the powerful figures sent abroad, there are no longer any large-scale survivor bases in the snowy mountains of the northeast of the Dragon Kingdom.
Considering that a terrible cold wave struck shortly after the first spiritual energy revival tide, it is not hard to understand why the snowy mountains of Northeast China, which are located at a higher latitude, were more severely affected.
Therefore, when Brother Feng heard the name of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, which had regional connotations, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Brother Feng! There's no mistake!"
Their team was full of people with thick Northeastern accents!
And the leader was a Siberian tiger!
Do you think I'm stupid? That easy to fool?
Menglan rolled her eyes and said confidently.
"Wait? The leader isn't a person?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Feng's eyes narrowed, realizing that things were not so simple.
"Yes! This is the first time I've ever seen a team of survivors like this!"
The leader is a tiger, and most of the high-level combatants in the team are evolved creatures!
Moreover, there were as many as two million human survivors!
They can even live in harmony with evolved organisms!
Those people, I don't know what they're good for; so many of them, yet they were outmatched by a pack of tigers.
Menglan nodded, then scratched her head, puzzled.
Oh, is that so!
It seems I was overthinking it…
Upon hearing this, Brother Feng breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt at ease.
He thought it was a powerful, evolved tiger that was raising large numbers of humans like pigs, feeding them whenever they wanted.
This is not something that has never happened before.
It is said that among the teams dispatched from the capital to search for survivors, one team encountered a pack of evolved wolves, numbering in the thousands, that had surrounded hundreds of thousands of human survivors. Despite having the strength to annihilate them, the wolves only targeted those with higher evolutionary levels.
Once they have eaten and drunk their fill, the siege will be lifted, giving the survivors the opportunity to come out and forage for food and grow.
However, if the captive survivors try to break out and escape, they will find that the wolf pack has not given up on the siege, but has simply expanded the encirclement, giving them a chance to catch their breath and fatten up.
When the wolves see humans trying to cross the encirclement, they will appear and scare them back.
However, if humans are ungrateful and try to break through, crossing the red line marked by the wolves but not visible to them, they will be mercilessly torn to pieces and feasted on by the wolves.
Menglan spends all her time thinking about where to dig for spirit gold or how to sneak into the Imperial Capital's military supply depot to steal the stored spirit gold, so she naturally doesn't know much about these things.
"Hey! Brother Feng, don't think about it, I'll call them over!"
Their strength is considerable; many of them are at the fifth rank!
Even if we go to the capital, excluding those old guys, we'll still be a top-tier power!
Apologize later, so you don't offend anyone.
Maybe we'll even have more say in the capital!
Seeing that Feng was deep in thought, Menglan urged him on.
Even a pig has some cunning when it comes to the capital city, let alone Menglan, who was already quite clever before the spiritual energy revival.
Although she verbally referred to Cangnian and Aotian as bumpkins, Menglan knew very well that despite being away from the capital for so long, the overall strength of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom was not to be underestimated.
The capital city is a behemoth, but it is riddled with factions and numerous powerful groups.
The sudden arrival of Cang Nian and his group of powerful individuals carries significant weight, regardless of which side they side with.
"No, I'll go myself."
Upon hearing this, Brother Feng's mind raced, and his eyes gleamed.
