"Boss, I didn't realize it until now, but there are so many Evolvers in Suicheng!" Chen Letian exclaimed.
The vehicle stopped in a designated parking lot, surrounded by soldiers patrolling the area. Each one was fully equipped, holding Automatic Rifles, looking imposing.
No matter how chaotic it was outside, the troops could ignore it, and indeed they did. But once inside the military base, everyone had to abide by the rules here. Anyone who dared to provoke the authority of the troops and cause trouble would face only one outcome:
Death!
A rough estimate indicated that there were at least five hundred Garrison Troops scattered throughout Suicheng Satellite City.
From those five hundred, just picking ten and pairing them with an Infantry Fighting Vehicle would be enough to sweep through half of Suicheng. If it were twenty people with two Infantry Fighting Vehicles, even teams from Shen Yuan or Ning wouldn't be able to resist.
If fifty people with five Infantry Fighting Vehicles were mobilized, wiping out Bao Ye would not be difficult at all!
So even a powerful entity like Shen Yuan had to park their vehicle in the lot, hand it over to designated personnel for safekeeping, and then walk to the registrar to verify their strength and register their identity.
Currently, there were at least over a thousand people in the entire military base, each one being a somewhat capable Evolver. Of course, those who reached the level of Chen Letian or Xu Lixing would not be many—at most one-tenth.
Just as Shen Yuan got out of the car, something placed in the corner caught his attention.
It was a statue!
It was a Fierce Tiger Statue, standing over a meter tall and about three meters long, likely carved to scale from a real tiger, lifelike and full of spirit. At first glance, it almost gave the feeling of seeing a real tiger!
Of course, its shape was not exactly alike; one was flesh and blood while the other was stone. However, the impression it gave was somewhat similar.
It turned out to be a masterful piece!
Fierce Tiger Statue possesses a hint of the true essence of a tiger. According to Ma Lao, this indicates that the sculptor comprehended the spirit of the fierce tiger, and during the carving process, he was completely absorbed, neglecting sleep and food, even infusing his own vitality and spirit into the statue. Thus, the statue contains a trace of the sculptor's spiritual soul, which is why it exudes such an aura.
Of course, these mysterious concepts are something Shen Yuan neither fully believes nor disbelieves; he refrains from making judgments.
"That was carved by a master craftsman twenty years ago. It was said to be a gift for an officer who loved tigers, and I never expected to see it here," Ma Lao expressed with emotion.
He told Shen Yuan that the master craftsman's skills were exceptional, on par with the one who introduced him to carving, who also sculpted the Xiang Yu Statue. This Fierce Tiger Statue was the master craftsman's proudest work. It is said that before carving it, he personally lived in desolate mountains for a month with an old hunter, witnessing wild tigers multiple times!
Shen Yuan nodded gently.
This Fierce Tiger Statue was something he must have!
To him, the Xiang Yu Statue was not strong enough. If this Fierce Tiger Statue could be animated, its combat power would certainly not be inferior to that of the Xiang Yu Statue!
He just didn't know in what form he could obtain it—whether through exchange or something else.
"Hey, isn't that Shen Laoda? Long time no see!" A voice called out. Shen Yuan turned to see a familiar face.
Yang the Boss, one of the few leaders in the southern part of the city, was probably the weakest among them at present. However, according to Lin Shuai-bin, this guy actually had decent strength; he just ranked lower than others because he had too few guns under his command.
"Yang the Boss, long time no see," Shen Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.
With the issuance of two documents, especially the Universal Military Rank System, the military began to formally take over the entire Satellite City, and order would gradually be established. The existing structure would be hard to change. Unless a major upheaval occurred, each leader would remain in their position for some time to come. Even if one did not go out of their way to build connections, a nod and greeting would suffice.
Then looking around, Shen Yuan unexpectedly spotted another familiar face:
Du Jie brought three people, two men and one woman, all holding Semi-Automatic Pistols, standing behind Du Jie like guardians.
Du Jie quickly walked over and smiled when seeing Shen Yuan.
“Shen Laoda, did you also receive the notice from Bao Ye, which is why you came to register today?” Du Jie asked.
Shen Yuan nodded.
Not long after the two documents were distributed yesterday, someone from Bao Ye came to visit, arranging for all the leaders, including some stronger Evolvers, to avoid the peak period on the first day and choose to gather today to register together.
According to Bao Ye, this was not actually their intention but rather that of Colonel Cheng Feng, the highest commander of the Suicheng Garrison Troops.
As for why this was done, everyone could basically understand with a little thought.
“Du Jie, thank you for what happened that day,” Shen Yuan said with a light smile, expressing goodwill.
Du Jie's smile was bright but carried a hint of regret: “Shen Yuan, adding flowers to a brocade cannot compare to providing timely help. That day I missed the chance to provide timely help; my little gesture seems rather petty.”
Shen Yuan nodded.
If at that time in Suicheng High School, during the incident with Shen Yuan and Han the Great Gunfight, Du Jie had chosen to help Shen Yuan, it would have been providing timely help, and Shen Yuan would definitely have been willing to befriend Du Jie, perhaps even becoming friends!
But Du Jie left.
Later, at the Stone Carving Factory, after most of the enemies had been taken down by the Xiang Yu Statue, she finally made her move to kill a few escaping individuals, which was merely icing on the cake.
Providing timely assistance is a true kindness, while adding embellishments can only be considered a slight favor.
However, even if given another chance, knowing that Shen Yuan would win, she would not rush into Suicheng High School with her people to help Shen Yuan. She had her own concerns; after all, she was not alone and had to consider the feelings of her subordinates, taking responsibility for their safety.
Having many people can be a disadvantage in this regard.
Shen Yuan knew that if he faced the same situation, he would also find it difficult to make a choice.
That’s why he was reluctant to take on subordinates; he couldn’t dictate others' lives and didn’t want to control their fates!
He could only be responsible for himself!
Since it was already like this, Shen Yuan saw no need to get too close to Du Jie; shallow relationships were enough.
“Bao Ye and Ning are here!” Yang the Boss greeted them with a broad smile.
Bao Ye's vehicle was still that impressively ostentatious Ultimate Doomsday Vehicle, looking formidable. However, it only appeared impressive in front of a few bosses and ordinary Survivors. The base had over a dozen armored vehicles and even tanks. Compared to these Military Vehicles, the Ultimate Doomsday Vehicle had no advantages.
For instance, taking out the Ultimate Doomsday Vehicle with that tank would only require one or two shots!
