Chapter 232: Chapter 232 - Bronze Statue And Huge Benefits

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“F*ck!”

Lin Ye bared his teeth and couldn’t help but curse.

A group of figures was transporting a huge bronze statue that was more than thirty meters tall.

It was placed on the opposite side of the high platform in the territory, reflecting the bunker.

The statue was handsome and imposing. It looked like an exact replica of himself.

Who did this? This was too f*cking awesome.

Reward that person!

Lin Ye was very satisfied. When he approached the territory’s entrance.

“The lord is back!”

It was unknown who shouted, but cheers immediately sounded both inside and outside the territory.

Whoosh—

In the blink of an eye, countless figures swarmed over like locusts.

Most of them were refugees who were blocked outside and not allowed to enter.

“Lord Lin Ye, please keep us here!”

“My lord, we are all good people who have never done anything bad. On account that we are citizens of the Nine States, save us!”

“That’s right, the zombie wave is about to start. Us ordinary people have no way of resisting it. Please, take pity on us old, weak, sick, and disabled!”

“…”

There were so many tragic cries that Lin Ye was shocked.

There were at least ten thousand people there.

This was hundreds of times more than the number of human citizens who had submitted to him in the past.

Tap-tap-tap…

At this moment, a loud and clear gun sound came from within the territory, instantly suppressing the cries and screams.

“Everyone, open a path! Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!”

At the same time, a crisp and pleasant voice was transmitted through the loudspeaker, allowing everyone present to hear it clearly.

“The Firearms Squad!”

“It’s Lady Adelia!”

“Move away!”

With machine guns opening the way, a large number of escapees were so frightened that they split into two directions, creating a 30-meter wide road.

Soon, Adelia ran out with a group of rangers, but they looked a little strange.

The rangers of the other human lords were all wearing bows and arrows, but when it came to Lin Ye, they were all equipped with machine guns. A few of them were even carrying sniper rifles.

Upon seeing this, the eyes of many human escapees twitched.

What a ridiculous cheat!

“My lord, you’re back!”

Adelia smiled and greeted, “Did it go smoothly?”

“It’s not that bad.”

Lin Ye nodded with a smile. He swept his gaze across the hopeful escapees and said in a low voice, “Have you all recorded the information of these people?”

“They’ve basically all been recorded, but we didn’t dare to let them in without your permission.” Adelia nodded.

“Summon Xun Mingyuan, Zhang Bao’er, and the hundreds of loyal humans who have submitted to us last time,” Lin Ye ordered.

“Okay.” Adelia was very efficient. Soon, a group of people ran out of the territory.

“My lord, you… you called for us?”

It had been a few days since he saw Xun Mingyuan. Obviously, he had gained some weight. When he ran, he actually panted a little.

“I have some work for you guys. Do you see these human refugees? Later, I’ll share my Heart’s Web talent with you. Open your eyes wide and watch them. Don’t let anyone with ulterior motives go. Catch them secretly.”

“For the ordinary refugees, don’t make things difficult for them. Open another hundred high-level tents in the west for the time being and let them stay there.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“After the zombie wave ends, I’ll assign them tasks one after another.”

“That’s simple. Rest assured, my lord.” Xun Mingyuan patted his chest and promised.

“Hurry up. There are only two to three hours before the zombie wave. I’ll leave this place to you.”

With that, Lin Ye ran into the territory with Adelia.

There was a commotion behind him, but it was quickly suppressed by Xun Mingyuan. From his voice, it sounded like he was familiar with such a task.

He probably did something like that before.

As they passed by the huge statue on the opposite side of the platform, Lin Ye asked curiously, “Who did this?”

“All of us.”

Adelia explained with a smile, “This is because you are too good to us, my lord. You treat us dozens of times better than your kind. A few days ago, Lin Dachui suggested that we build a bronze statue. We gathered our money and put in our best efforts. In the end, we ordered a bronze statue for you from Ultima City in the Underworld.”

“Such a big one, it must have cost a lot.” Lin Ye was curious.

“It’s alright. It cost more than 100,000 Zombie Souls, but that won’t stop us from showing our love for our lord,” Adelia said solemnly.

“A hundred thousand…”

Lin Ye sighed slightly. “There are more than 80,000 people, but you all only managed to gather 100,000.”

“???” Adelia had a face full of question marks.

“It’s fine, but I think that the bright gold color looks better. Under the sunlight, the bright gold color looks better and suits my aura better. Do you understand me?” Lin Ye added.

“Ah, this…” Adelia grimaced. This lord of hers was literally saying it out loud his demands.

“I’m just joking, don’t mind me.” Lin Ye smiled. “Come, follow me to the platform. Let’s sort out our gains first. From the looks of your training, quite a few Level 1 Haunted Houses should have been destroyed.”

“Of course.”

Adelia nodded smugly and waved at one of her subordinates. “Go and get all the treasure chests you’ve collected.”

“Also, call Lin Two, Ron, and Lin Dachui over for me!” Lin Ye instructed.

Moments later, the platform was filled with people.

“My lord, you’re finally back. The first zombie wave is around the corner, and our market is booming. The treasure chests are almost making our space rings explode.” Lin Dachui laughed.

“Our side isn’t weak either. The Demon Hunter team has swept through 18 Level 1 Haunted Houses which are three stars and below. The zombie souls and treasure chests waiting for you, my lord.” Edshana interjected, unwilling to be outdone.

“My lord, the treasure hunters have also looted a lot of random treasure chests that were spawned in the territory,” Ron said with a smile.

“Alright, don’t start fighting for credit now.” Lin Ye waved his hand as his gaze landed on Lin Two.

Currently, Lin One was focused on farming. Lin Two was basically in charge of all the miscellaneous items in the territory.

“My lord, what can I do for you?” Lin Two asked respectfully when he met Lin Ye’s gaze.

“Bring 3,000 Zombie Converters and lead a team of wind wolf warriors to the six-star Haunted House in the north to find Xu Que, Lin Hai, and the others. The battle over there has ended, and they need to convert the zombie souls. There’s no need to rush back. You all just need to finish it before the zombie wave ends.” Lin Ye nodded.

“Yes, I’ll bring people over now.” Lin Two nodded.

“Everyone else, pile the treasure chests on the platform and organize the data. Go to Zhang Bao’er’s place to register your contribution points.”

Lin Ye instructed before closing his eyes and beginning to harvest the gains from the past few days.

There were nearly ten thousand human lords who had submitted to him, and there were thousands of empty bunkers.

Some of them were occupied by others, but it could not be helped.

He had eaten meat, so he had to leave some soup for the others.

Whoosh—

Soon, thousands of dragon shadows formed from large amounts of black energy particles flew over.

The commotion was huge and integrated into Lin Ye’s Civilization Archive and bunker.

This was accompanied by the system’s notification and the visible advancement golden light.
