Chapter 293: Taking Over Longxin City
The affairs of the human star region were too distant for Su Chen to consider. Now, what he needed to do was to clean up the Mutant Beasts on Earth.
The spaceship remained here, and no one could discover it as long as Little Green was willing.
Just as he had returned to the main base, Emperor Kong contacted him.
"Su Chen, there's something I need to tell you." Emperor Kong's tone was a bit off.
"What's wrong?" Su Chen's expression turned serious. He thought something big had happened.
"Old Zhou... hasn't come out!"
Su Chen's mouth twitched. He thought Emperor Kong was talking about something important, but it turned out to be this.
Zhu Hui's body was occupied by the Divine race, and he was no longer himself. Su Chen had not told anyone about this because no one would believe it. Unexpectedly, other emperors misunderstood him.
"What happened?" Su Chen immediately put on an act of concern and asked.
"I don't know the specific situation. Everyone else has come out, but Old Zhou hasn't. I plan to go over and take care of things. If Old Zhou comes out, that would be great. If not..." Emperor Kong paused for a moment and continued, "I hope you can take over Longxin City."
Every person in the Human Emperor faction had a Level 1 Base City, and Longxin City was Emperor Ming's.
If Emperor Ming could not really come back, someone had to take his place. Other emperors had their own Base Cities, but Su Chen was an exception.
Emperor Kong chose Su Chen not only because he had the best relationship with Zhu Hui, but also because he valued the emperors under Su Chen, who would become a major force for humanity.
After thinking for a moment, Su Chen had no problem taking over Longxin City. Originally, he had planned to take over a Level 1 Base City later, but he did not expect to do it earlier.
He checked his progress and realized he already controlled seven Base Cities. He only had some Level 1 Base Cities and some Level 2 Base Cities left to conquer.
This time, Su Chen learned from his previous mistakes and stationed a force in each Base City that could suppress Controllers. This avoided the situation that occurred in the Battle of the Great River.
What he needed was a Base City that would obey his orders, not one that acted on its own.
"It's okay. I believe he'll be fine," Su Chen said.
Emperor Kong chatted casually with Su Chen for a while before ending the call.
Emperor Kong and Su Chen agreed on three days. If Zhu Hui did not appear after three days, Su Chen would go to Longxin City to take over. At that time, he would notify the Deputy of Longxin City and ask for help in dealing with opposition.
A non-emperor taking over a Level 1 Base City would definitely face significant resistance, especially from the various families in Longxin City, the largest of which was probably the Zhu family, where Zhu Hui was from.
Su Chen had heard that Zhu Hui did not have a good relationship with the Zhu family, and some of their actions did not sit well with him.
"I wonder who will jump out. I'm really looking forward to it," Su Chen chuckled.
Three days quickly passed, and Emperor Kong made several trips but could not find Emperor Ming or even the entrance to the ruins.
In the past, he could enter the ruins with his eighth-tier strength, but now that the ruins were closed, he could not get in.
"Su Chen, Longxin City is in your hands."
On this day, Su Chen stood in front of the gates of Longxin City, and compared to a few months ago, there were many more people here now.
A wide road had been built on the ground that could accommodate more than a dozen cars driving side by side. These roads currently only led to the surrounding Gathering Places, and it would take some time to connect to other Base Cities.
The airport was under construction, and humans no longer faced the threat of flying Mutant Beasts, so restoring air routes was only a matter of time. As for railways, they were not being considered at this time.
Su Chen was standing there with two maids by his side, and whenever people passed by, they would curiously glance at them.
To avoid being recognized, Su Chen wore sunglasses and a hat, and no one could recognize him unless they were very familiar with him.
Nowadays, Su Chen, after the incident on the live broadcast, was almost recognized by everyone for his appearance. If he came directly, he would probably be surrounded at the gate.
Tanya rarely showed up, and almost no one knew her. As for Ju Ling, due to her fight with the Emperor on the Eastern Front, she became famous and was even called the Emperss Ling.
Fortunately, almost no one knew what she looked like, otherwise Su Chen would have had Ju Ling sneak in.
When entering the city, a simple inspection was required, especially a blood test, to prevent Mutant spies from infiltrating. No matter how much a Mutant's appearance changed, their blood was different from humans, especially their blood.
Just one drop of blood could tell if you were human or a Mutant.
"Okay, your inspection is qualified. This is your temporary pass. With this, you can stay in Longxin City for up to seven days. If you want to live here permanently, you must apply and pass a series of tests to become a citizen of Longxin City," a Soldier said to the three of them.
As he spoke, the Soldier's expression was a bit odd. A man with two maids, this kind of setup was the first time he had seen it. Did these two beauties not feel cold in their maid outfits?
For them, the temperature difference was negligible compared to their eighth-tier strength.
"I am here for the first time in Longxin City. I don't know what's different here compared to other Base Cities?" Su Chen asked.
"You must have come from a nearby Gathering Place. If you want to know about Longxin City, you can find those tour guides. They are definitely professional," the Soldier pointed to a place not far away where many people were standing in a row, with a small badge on their chests that read "tour guide."
"There are tour guides now?" Su Chen was a little surprised.
"At least it's been decades since we last had them. It's just because there are too many people coming to Longxin City, and they don't know much about it, that this profession has emerged."
Su Chen found it interesting and didn't go directly to find the Deputy of Longxin City. Instead, he went to the tour guides.
When those tour guides saw Su Chen, who looked extraordinary, walking towards them, they all straightened up, as if they wanted to show their best side.
Su Chen nodded secretly. These tour guides did not immediately surround him, which showed that the management of Longxin City was very good, otherwise it would have become a market here.
Su Chen randomly chose a teenager who looked only in his teens. The teenager was very happy when he was chosen.
"Sir, I am the fourth tour guide. You can call me Xiaoming," the teenager said shyly.
"Is there anything interesting in Longxin City? Take me to see it. Money is not a problem," Su Chen casually took out an Energy Crystal.
