I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

A mile outside the city, a dense crowd headed toward the entrance of Jiangnan City.

A large number of people formed a long line on the main road.

The team was led by alliance superhumans, and the head of the group was a middle-aged man.

Sun Gang, an A-level superhuman, is a big, burly man with a face full of fat.

A few days ago, he received orders to transfer this group of people from the Tianhai City base.

The reason is that the Tianhai City base is already overloaded. Of the six major bases, Jiangnan City has the smallest population and should share the burden.

Sun Gang stopped and frowned as he looked at the city that appeared ahead.

As a person with superpowers, he knew more than the ordinary people behind him.

He knew something about the situation in Jiangnan City.

But he could not disobey the orders from above.

"Stop!" He suddenly raised his hand, signaling the line to stop.

The crowd stirred; some whispered among themselves, while others peered ahead.

"Why did it stop?"

"Isn't it almost here?"

"Jiangnan City is just ahead, let us in quickly!"

Just then, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, landing in front of the crowd.

Zhao Lie hovered in mid-air, his body crackling with lightning, his gaze sharp as a knife, sweeping over the Alliance ability users and a large number of ordinary people.

"What are you doing in Jiangnan City?" Zhao Lie frowned. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Sun Gang stepped forward, his attitude respectful: "We are ordered to relocate the population. The Tianhai City base is already overcrowded and supplies are insufficient, so the higher-ups have decided to transfer some people to Jiangnan City."

"Move them here?" Zhao Lie pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many?"

"A total of 300,000 people," Sun Gang responded, "This is only the first batch; the rest are still on their way."

Zhao Lie's face darkened.

"A decision from above?" he said coldly. "Don't those people in the alliance know about the situation in Jiangnan City?"

Sun Gang's expression remained unchanged: "This is an order from above; we are merely carrying it out. As for whether Jiangnan City is taken over or not, that's none of our business. Our only responsibility is to deliver the people."

Zhao Lie frowned.

Not right.

Although it is said to be one of the six major bases, the underground infrastructure in Jiangnan City is the worst.

The current capacity of over 100,000 people is already stretched thin, and it's simply impossible to accommodate 300,000 people in a short period of time!

This is someone deliberately passing the buck to Wang Wei.

However, Zhao Lie also knew that these ordinary people were not the culprits; they were merely tools being used.

"Jiangnan City can't accommodate so many people," Zhao Lie said in a deep voice. "The infrastructure capacity of the underground living area here is limited; it can only accommodate a few tens of thousands more people at most."

"Three hundred thousand people, there's simply no room for them."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd behind him erupted in uproar.

"Not enough room? Impossible!"

"Of the six major bases, your Jiangnan City has the smallest population, only a few hundred thousand. Which of the other bases doesn't have tens or hundreds of millions?"

"Exactly! You definitely don't want us to go in!"

"We are all Chinese, why won't they let us in?"

"Do you really consider Jiangnan City your private property?"

A middle-aged man with a full beard squeezed out from the crowd. "Don't try to fool us! We're in the fourth basement level of Tianhai City, a tiny place that's barely the size of a palm."

"Your Jiangnan City has a population of over 100,000, so the place must be very spacious!"

"Exactly!" an old woman chimed in. "You're all living here perfectly well, why won't you let us in?"

"We've been gone for days, don't you have any conscience?"

"You should give way to us ordinary people, it's only natural."

The sound waves rose higher and higher, surging in like a tsunami.

These people were like a fuse that had been lit; all their exhaustion and fear turned into anger, which they unleashed upon Zhao Lie.

Zhao Lie's face darkened.

He tried to explain, but those people wouldn't listen.

They only believe their own imagination.

Jiangnan City has a small population, so the living conditions must be very good.

But what they didn't know was that Jiangnan City was the only base that the alliance hadn't prioritized for development.

The underground living area here is still unfinished, and it was modified by the superhumans of Jiangnan City themselves.

"Quiet!" Zhao Lie's voice boomed like thunder, drowning out all the noise.

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

"I'm stating the facts," Zhao Lie said, emphasizing each word. "The underground living area in Jiangnan City simply cannot accommodate so many people."

"You're kidding me!" the old woman yelled. "You just don't want us to go in!"

"Do you think you, with hundreds of thousands of people, want to monopolize a base?"

"The six major bases of the Dragon Kingdom belong to all citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, not to the private property of your Jiangnan City!"

"That's right, get out of our way. The Alliance sent us here, why are you objecting?"

"That's right, who do you think you are? You dare to stop us?"

The group started talking, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.

Sun Gang suddenly felt a headache coming on.

What's wrong with these people? Why are they treating the superhumans of Jiangnan City like this?

Have these people forgotten that Jiangnan City is Wang Wei's territory?

Zhao Lie looked at the restless crowd, took a deep breath, and decided he didn't want to argue with these ordinary people.

He said, "If you don't believe me, go in and see for yourselves."

"Fine, let's go in and see!" the stubble-faced middle-aged man said defiantly. "Let's go! Let's see how these hundreds of thousands of people occupy a base and live such luxurious lives!"

The crowd began to stir, and some people started to squeeze into the city.

Just then, a large and a small figure slowly walked out of the city.

His steps were slow, but strangely, he appeared in front of these people in just a few steps.

The crowd stopped spontaneously.

Wang Wei walked over.

Li An stood beside him, his gray eyes fixed on the crowd, his face expressionless.

Zhao Lie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Wei and stepped aside.

Wang Wei stood at the front of the crowd, his gaze sweeping over the angry faces, but he remained silent.

He simply stood there, like an invisible wall, stopping the restless crowd.

The middle-aged man with stubble felt a little uncomfortable under Wang Wei's gaze, but emboldened by the number of people behind him, he became bolder again:

"Wang Wei, you've come at the right time! We were sent by the Alliance, please let us in quickly!"

Wang Wei looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Go to the city? What makes you think you can?"

"Why should I!" the bearded man exclaimed angrily. "You're not even obeying the orders of the Dragon Kingdom Alliance?"

"Exactly! Who do you think you are?"

"We are all Chinese, why won't they let us in?"

"Wang Wei, don't be so arrogant!"

Among the crowd, several ringleaders began to make a fuss, their voices growing louder and more unpleasant.

"Wang Wei, you devoured superhumans. If we let you in, it might lessen your sins!"

"You killed so many superhumans from China, and you still have the nerve to occupy Jiangnan City?"

Wang Wei was not angry; his expression remained unchanged.

He just looked at those people as if they were a bunch of clowns jumping around.

"I'm just wondering, you say I've killed so many superhumans, why do you still dare to talk back to me?"

The old woman retorted fearlessly, "We're just ordinary people, we haven't awakened any special abilities. You think you can kill us?"

Wang Wei was stunned. Could being an ordinary person really be a shield in the apocalypse?

Someone else chimed in, "You dare kill so many ordinary people like us?"

"Our Dragon Kingdom now has prophets. If you act recklessly, the prophets will not let you off the hook."

Wang Wei fell silent.

This is truly a case of ignorance being bliss!

Seeing that Wang Wei remained silent, the bearded man assumed he was afraid and became even more arrogant.

"Wang Wei, I'm telling you, today you're letting us in whether you let us or not! We—"

He didn't finish speaking.

A grayish-white light flashed by.

The bearded man's voice abruptly stopped.

His eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth opened, but no sound came out.

A thin line of blood slowly appeared on his neck.

Then, his head slid off his neck, rolled to the ground, and made a dull thud.

The body fell straight down, blood gushing from its neck cavity, splattering onto the faces and bodies of those around it.

Dead silence.

These people were completely silent.

Li An stood next to Wang Wei.

A drop of blood slowly slid down her finger and dripped onto the ground.

Her expression remained unchanged; she simply stood there, as if nothing had happened.

"Sure enough, this fellow villager's mind has been corrupted by the red mist, turning him into a walking corpse, which is why he's so irritable."

Wang Wei paused, his gaze sweeping over the terrified faces:

"Who else has had their mind corrupted?"

"Speak up"
