Qicheng.

This is the most prosperous city in the human area, which is no longer troubled by the Beast King and the beast tide.

Before Li Xiao came to Qicheng.

It's just a small city.

Without the protection of the strong, the strongest is no more than an SS-level psychic. If a slightly larger beast tide comes, it will be overturned.

The area is not very large. The former Qicheng is the same size as the new city in the west district now. It can be said to be pitifully small.

If an ordinary person runs at full speed, it would probably only take half an hour for him to run from the east end to the west end.

The population is not very large.

At that time, the entire Qi city probably had only about 400,000 or 500,000 people, right?

Compared with the city in the East District with a population of over a million, or even two or three million, there is simply no comparison!
But this small, weak and dilapidated Qi City has now become the best city in the three regions.

Because of the addition of more than a dozen satellite cities.

The current size of Qicheng is comparable to the size of those municipalities before the appearance of the strange beasts, and its area is astonishing.

Qicheng is like a main urban area, densely populated with over a million people.

And those satellite cities that guard Qi City now look like districts that protect Qi City.

The entire Qicheng urban agglomeration, with its entire population added together, is now almost reaching tens of millions!

This also made Chen Xuan very troubled.

Now their logistical supplies, living facilities and so on, in this era of strange beasts, are simply unable to support a city with a population of tens of millions!

There is no shortage of food. There are so many strange beasts now, and they are all big in size. The strange beasts killed by the investigation teams are enough to feed the people in the whole city.

But eating is a problem. People can’t just eat. There are many other things to do.

So whether it is hygiene or medical care, Qicheng is now in a semi-paralyzed state.

This is absolutely not going to work.

Chen Xuan was also sweating profusely from anxiety.

He was not a top-notch internal affairs talent and was just mediocre.

He was able to manage a city of hundreds of thousands of people very well.

But now there are tens of millions of people, and there is no way to handle it.

Recently he had been thinking about merging these satellite cities one by one. The headquarters was now very safe, so he wanted them to move out, leave the vicinity of Qi City, and settle down in a new place.

Just like the new town in the West End.

Go to a new place, rebuild the city, get support from Qicheng, and then spread out.

They are much better off going out now than they were in Xincheng back then.

After building the new city, we still have to keep an eye on external threats and may stop building the city at any time to defend against the enemy with all our strength.

That's why the new city is in such a miserable state now, except for the outer circle of city walls which are well built to defend against the beast tide.

The interior of the building was simply a horrible sight.

Li Xiao went to see it, and of course the support troops from Qicheng also went to see it.

So what’s the difference between it and the slums?
It seems difficult to adapt.

But isn't there anything that can be done about it?
This is all we can do.

So compared to new cities, this is already a very good thing.

But what gave Chen Xuan the most headache was that the mayors of these satellite cities, one by one, refused to leave no matter what.

Isn't it just that the power supply is unstable?

Isn't it just that the amount of water used is very small?
Isn’t it just that there are too many people and it’s crowded?
Small things, all small things, they can overcome all these small things by themselves.

Anyway, the main thing is that there is no way I can move away.

Chen Xuan was speechless.

I originally didn't plan to tell Li Xiao about these things, and I didn't want to bother Li Xiao with these things.

But in the end, there was no other choice but to ask Li Xiao for help.

This forced Li Xiao to change his route. He had originally planned to go to the mysterious cave first, but now he had to go back to Changcheng first. When Li Xiao arrived at the central square, he did not plan to look for Chen Xuan first.

Even though Chen Xuan's office building was right next to the central square, he didn't plan to go there first. He had to do something first.

When he looked down at the statue carved in his own image standing on the central street.

He lowered his head and looked at the square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, but now it was densely packed with people.

Ok?
Are there any activities today?

Why are so many people here?
I don't understand.

Li Xiao was a little confused.

The two children beside him seemed a little shocked. "Master, I haven't seen so many people passing by in a long time. How many people are there in this city?"

"The number of people standing below alone is already greater than the population of the entire new city, right?"

Li Pingan widened his eyes and said in a daze.

Really, there were heads everywhere below.

And they were all standing in one direction.

All eyes were on the sculpture in the center of the square.

After looking carefully.

Only then did they realize that the sculpture was actually carved by their own master!
"Master, is this the statue in the central square that they were talking about?"

"When I was in the new city, I heard from the superpower brother who came to support us that there was a particularly magical statue in the central square of the headquarters. I didn't expect that it was actually a sculpture of you."

The girl stared at the scene with eyes wide open, unable to believe that those people below who were worshipping the statue were actually worshipping their own master.

Moreover, the girl soon discovered something!
They are not just floating in the air and motionless.

They were moving forward slowly.

This one moves slowly forward...

It looks like it's floating...

Ok……

Mainly, she discovered it.

The closer they were to the statue.

The sculpture seemed to glow.

And the light became brighter and brighter.

And she seemed to hear someone shouting downstairs.

“It’s bright again!”

"It's getting brighter! It's getting brighter!"

"Lord Li Xiao must be back. The statue has been lighting up since last night. Lord Li Xiao is getting closer and closer to us!"

After hearing these words, the girl's beautiful eyes lit up and she felt very surprised.

It’s so magical.

Li Meiman could hear these words.

Li Xiao must be able to hear it even better.

Simply outrageous.

Li Xiao looked down with some surprise.

That sculpture...

Li Xiao really couldn't remember which beast king's tooth this was carved from.

Anyway, it's the teeth of the Beast King.

I haven't discovered that this thing has such psychic capabilities before?

Can this be done the same way as device search?
The closer you are to the device, the brighter it gets.

Li Xiao had not believed in it for a long time. He stepped back a little on purpose and felt relieved when he saw the statue. (End of this chapter)
