The conversation between the two went unnoticed by others nearby, who were either engrossed in their own games or simply watching the spectacle unfold.
In front of the city wall, the main gate had actually remained open. The Gatekeepers stood dumbfounded, staring at everything before them. It wasn't until several minutes later that someone finally came to their senses and hurriedly began to close the city gates.
Outside, Wu Yingzhou felt utterly helpless. If it weren't for the need to train his assault capabilities, he would have charged in long ago, and there would be no need for this battle.
The more than two thousand elites currently in the academy were the result of their recent training efforts, and behind them were over fifty thousand warriors from training programs.
These individuals' Superpowers were not particularly strong, but after training, they were still capable of combat. Moreover, ordinary Superpowers had the potential for enhancement after undergoing learning and development at the academy.
Most importantly, many Sea Dragon Pearls had been discovered by the academy. They activated Superpowers, and all information regarding the use of Essence and Essence Fruit was collected and scientifically analyzed. After reaching the Third Stage, any changes would be documented in detail. In this context, all Academia Superpowered Individuals had their own evolution goals.
As for the academy's elites, they were on a different path. They had detailed reports but needed to chart their own futures; teachers, the dean, and the Research team would only provide rational suggestions.
This was because these talented Superpowered Individuals were unpredictable; their Superpowers held many uncertainties.
Now was the first battle for these Superpowered Individuals.
"Who are you! Why are you attacking us? We are just an ordinary Gathering Place with no food or wealth; attacking us is a losing proposition!" A rotund man shouted from atop the city gate.
Wu Yingzhou looked at him while cross-referencing his information.
Zhang Kefan, the Boss of Post-Apocalypse Real Estate, had thrived in this new world thanks to his team of laborers and bodyguards. This massive castle was a product of their construction efforts—quite impressive indeed.
However, this Fellow's vision seemed limited to this point. He was merely a product of luck in an era; he lacked true leadership abilities and could not inspire hope in others. Wealth and security were merely his aliases.
Under his leadership, the Gathering Place was now on a downward spiral; bankruptcy and collapse loomed near. According to reports, he was already preparing to retreat, abandoning hundreds of thousands to save himself.
"We are from Hope Gathering Place, here to ensure you live better lives and no longer worry about food in the future. Now, you have five minutes to consider: open the gates and welcome us, enjoying the benefits that Hope Gathering Place will bring you; or refuse our incorporation, in which case we will show you with your blood that we are invincible!" Wu Yingzhou shouted loudly into an amplifier powered by Electricity, his voice magnified countless times.
The person across from him clearly hadn’t reacted yet. How could electrical appliances still be used in the apocalypse? Wasn’t that impossible?
Before they could respond, a manifestation of Wu Yingzhou appeared on the city wall and handed him a letter of surrender.
Inside, it detailed the benefits that the Hope Gathering Place could provide them.
At that moment, a dozen flying Superpowered Individuals glided through the air. They had only been able to glide briefly before, but the Hope Gathering Place had provided them with new Superpower Equipment, allowing them to fly for a short time.
As they glided, flyers floated down into the Gathering Place.
Zheng Yifan was watching the battle at the entrance of a Grain Store, less than a hundred meters from the city gate. A flyer drifted down beside him.
He reached out to grab it and immediately smiled upon seeing its contents.
The claims on this flyer were simply unbelievable.
If the Hope Gathering Place offered such low treatment, Zheng Yifan would have long since run out of space for supplies in his Gathering Place.
Everyone was eligible to purchase Essence at a low price.
This low price was actually ten times what the Gathering Place already charged.
The Hope Gathering Place provided food as long as everyone worked; meals were guaranteed. They didn’t mention wages, so others would likely assume there were no wages, and just having food would be good enough.
However, in reality, farming at the Hope Gathering Place was quite a decent job because their wages were not low; it was just that the labor intensity was high and there were no extra benefits.
Those who earned the most in the Hope Gathering Place were from the Explorer Alliance. Apart from joining the military, members of the Explorer Alliance could obtain the most supplies, which translated into money for the Gathering Place.
Even rescuing Survivors could earn a certain amount of money. Of course, the value of each Survivor varied; could you expect to get the same price for saving a scientist as you would for saving a slacker?
Zheng Yifan found it amusing as he looked at the various items listed. He understood why; if the benefits of the Hope Gathering Place were laid out, no one would believe it and would just think they were crazy. However, the current scale was just right to open the door in their hearts without making them feel like they were being taken advantage of by Fang Ye Tan.
"Is this for real, man?" The Boss of the Grain Store stared incredulously at the flyer in front of him. Although he ran a grain store, he actually consumed very little himself. Nowadays, people were so meticulous about every grain of rice that the profit margins were slim. It was only natural for him to feel skeptical.
"Brother, this list is not a dream. The Hope Gathering Place is not as weak as you imagine. You'll know the benefits tomorrow," Zheng Yifan said, simply sitting there and observing the situation across from him.
On the street, people could already be seen bustling about. A few individuals attempted to capture Zheng Yifan but hesitated and ultimately walked away.
They all knew that Zheng Yifan and Li Ning might be part of an external force, yet they dared not approach to apprehend them.
They wanted to save face; if they truly couldn't confront them, at least it would be beneficial for future interactions. Even from a distance, the two shouldn't cause any major issues.
Thus, no one bothered Zheng Yifan here, while the Boss of the Grain Store was aware of his identity and immediately poured a glass of water, starting to inquire about the Hope Gathering Place.
Outside the city, the atmosphere was charged with battle intent, but something felt off. Atop the city gate, a rotund Fellow looked at Wu Yingzhou and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.
He surrendered...
Perhaps it was because Wu Yingzhou's law avatar was right beside him; weighing the pros and cons, he felt that trading his life for the autonomy of Gathering Place's people was simply not worth it. (To be continued)
