I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 298 Anxiety

At this moment, outside the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion in Red Cloud City, two people were standing guard at the door.

The arguing coming from inside made the two of them look at each other in bewilderment.

Soon, a tall man hurried over.

He had blond hair, sapphire-like eyes, and a handsome face.

But all of this was destroyed by that dejected look in his eyes.

The two guards looked troubled when they saw the man approaching, but they still reached out to stop him.

"Mr. Chris, please wait. The city lord is in a meeting, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."

The guard worked diligently, but all he got in return was a disdainful look from the man.

"You dare stop me?"

Chris ignored him and headed straight for the door to go inside.

But he was all bark and no bite; he looked tall, but his strength was no match for the two guards.

The two men firmly blocked Chris from entering the room, determined not to let him in and disrupt the meeting.

Chris, who always looked down on people, seemed to have been deeply humiliated.

"Baby! Baby Claudia!"

He shouted, "Claudia! Let me in!"

The two people who were arguing in the originally noisy conference room stopped when they heard the noise outside the door and looked at the person in the head seat.

The woman raised an eyebrow. "Why did you stop talking?"

She acted as if she hadn't heard anything outside, saying, "Continue the meeting."

Outside the door, Chris seemed to have his mouth covered, unable to utter another word.

A guard, covered in sweat, held Chris down tightly.

"Quick, gag him!"

The other person touched himself and found that there was nothing that could be blocked!
"Socks! Quick!"

Upon hearing the warning, the guard reacted quickly, took off his shoes and socks, and stuffed the socks directly into Chris's mouth.

The stench of sweat and dirt almost made Chris vomit.

The two guards disregarded everything else and quickly dragged Chris away, handing him over to the butler.

The steward of the city lord's mansion in Red Cloud City was a middle-aged woman with high cheekbones, slightly sunken cheeks, and a habitual downward turn of her mouth.

"Chris, you've been expelled."

The butler's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, but he could only manage a mocking smile.

Chris had a sock stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't speak at all.

The smell emanating from the socks made the butler take two steps back.

She even took out a handkerchief and covered her nose, her eyes filled with disgust.

"Throw it out."

The guards nodded, tied Chris up, and threw him out of the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion in Red Cloud City is extravagant and luxurious, especially the gate, which is designed to be extremely ornate.

Chris was thrown out, only able to make "uh-uh" sounds.

That's not even the most devastating part.

Outside the city lord's mansion was the most bustling commercial street, and Chris's most disheveled moment was witnessed by many people.

The guard came over, took the sock out of his mouth, shook it casually, and put it back on.

People nearby made disgusted noises, but the guard didn't seem to care.

"My wife sewed these socks for me. If I throw them away, she'll yell at me to death."

"Alright, let's go back now."

Chris glared at the two men with resentment. If hatred could be materialized, the two guards would probably be dead several times over by now.

The guard didn't want to pay him any attention, but then thought it was unnecessary to get into trouble.

They simply left behind a message: "The city lord has ordered that no one is allowed to let you in; we are merely following orders."

Chris didn't believe it. "The city lord likes me the most, how could she not let me in!"

Seeing that he was completely unyielding, the guard got annoyed.

"When have you ever seen the city lord like someone for more than six months? Do you think you're special?"

The two guards spat and turned to leave. Chris wanted to rush up and fight them, but his hands and feet were tied, and he couldn't move at all.

Those who had been watching the commotion couldn't resist crowding around once the guards left.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Chris? Has he been rejected by the city lord so quickly?" someone mocked.

Some people, unwilling to say more, simply spat on Chris.

Chris used to rely on the city lord's favor, and he did all sorts of evil deeds.

Now that Chris has lost power, everyone can't help but come up and mock him.

Some people even wanted to physically assault him and kick him a few times.

But someone next to him pulled him back, saying, "Don't fight here."

The group exchanged a glance and pulled Chris away.

He knew something was wrong and tried to shout for help, but another smelly sock was shoved into his hand, even smellier than the first one!
The crowd dragged him into a corner of the alley and gave him a severe beating before they could vent their anger.

They weren't afraid of retaliation, after all, a man abandoned by the city lord could never rise again.

Finally, the argument in the conference room of the Red Cloud City Lord's Mansion ceased.

Lord Claudia nodded noncommittally, "Let's handle it this way."

Then, she turned her head slightly, "No news from Motown?"

The official shook his head. "No."

Ever since the acid rain started, Claudia had been calculating that Mo City must be in a terrible mess.

I thought that the new city lord was a young girl who couldn't keep her composure and would definitely come to ask for help immediately.

But almost a whole day has passed, and I still haven't received any news.

Claudia wasn't angry; instead, she smiled. "Interesting. Does this new city lord have other methods?"

She wasn't in a hurry to go to Motown.

"I'd like to see how long they can hold out."

One day passed, two days passed
As the acid rain intensifies, ordinary wooden houses will be corroded by the rainwater, making them uninhabitable.

Almost all the houses in the Red Cloud City slums were destroyed.

Mo City still did not ask Red Cloud City for help.

Claudia has always been short-tempered and impatient.

This time is no different.

She started pacing around the room, completely baffled.

"Who exactly is the new city lord of Mo City, and where did he get the water from?"

"Could it be that other city-states are providing them with water?"

"That shouldn't be the case; the best water is in Red Cloud City."

The steward added, "Nearby city-states below level 2 have all sent trade requests, hoping we can provide clean water."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Except for Motown."

This is enough to show that Motown has indeed found a clean water source.

Where did they find it?

“The nearby cities clearly have no water.”

"Did they stockpile water in advance?"

Claudia's face was filled with anxiety. She treated the water source as her own territory and wanted to negotiate with Mo City.

In this deal, whoever takes the initiative loses.

But to her surprise, even after five days of acid rain, Mo City remained silent.

Even the city remained calm. How did they manage that?
"No, we have to send someone to check what's going on in Mo City. Could it be that the city lord has run away?"

Similar things have happened before.

Mo City, which Claudia had been constantly talking about, was indeed very calm at the moment.

Acid rain is kept out of the protective shield, so city dwellers don't need to worry about their safety.

If you really run out of water at home, you can go to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion to get free bottled water.

One bottle per person, though not much, is enough to keep them from dying of thirst.

Where did all this water come from?
