Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 30 Logistics Squad Leader

"The inheritance from the White Stone settlement is only 100,000 silver coins. I don't know if that will be enough."

The 50,000 silver coins that the inner city had to pay every year were now half gone.

He still had dozens of people under his command. It wasn't easy to gather so many people. Compared to other strangers, at least these people were people he knew well, and Wang An didn't want to just abandon them.

The only downside is that they are really not brave. They didn't fight for a spot in the mine before, and they only survived by chance because they ran fast. It's a classic case of the weak thinking.

But the advantage of the weak is that they are easy to control.

To Wang Yu's surprise, Bai Yan, the mute boy with extraordinary abilities, also survived.

Wang An entered the inner city, while Wang Yu concealed his identity and secretly became a missionary.

One side operates openly, the other covertly, collecting resources together.

The first group that needs to be integrated is the remaining thirty people in the White Stone settlement.

"He is an almighty God, the lord of nothingness and chaos, a great deity from beyond the world who descended to save this world from its impending destruction and to deliver us from our misguided path..."

From this day forward, we will follow His guidance…

The most important aspect of faith development is to raise the banner and create momentum, regardless of whether it's true or not, just shout out the slogan first.

As the weak, we need to be guided by the strong.

Therefore, the Lord of the Lost showed them the way.

……

Drop drop!

The piercing sound of a horn rang out behind Wang An, pulling him back to reality.

"Hey! You there! If you're going to leave, hurry up and leave! Don't block the road!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The scene before him made Wang An wonder if he was hallucinating.

The towering skyscrapers stand side by side, and the city, forged from steel and glass, exudes a cold sense of order, forming a stark contrast with the bustling brick streets of the outer city.

Seeing his astonished expression, the driver looked him over several times to confirm his identification badge before finally saying, "You're from the outer city, aren't you? The inner city was built by experts from the 'Sanctuary' in collaboration with Strange Stone City, a one-to-one replica of the city template from the Age of Revelation."

While the wasteland outside remains a medieval melee, the inner city has undoubtedly entered the modern era, which is the advantage of establishing a main city.

Not only can it quickly integrate resources, but it can also gain friendly investment from shelters, proving that every step forward leads to even greater success.

Therefore, overthrowing them is not something that can be easily accomplished by a group of cultists causing trouble.

Wang An scratched his head: "This is indeed my first time here. May I ask where the office in the inner city is?"

Having received the answer, Wang An headed towards the office, taking the opportunity to stroll around the streets along the way.

Wang An was surprised to find that prices here were very cheap; the same items cost only about a quarter of what they cost outside.

If you ignore the high cost of living, the residents of the inner city live quite comfortably, no wonder everyone wants to squeeze in.

But these were just ordinary daily necessities. He discovered that truly precious things could not be bought with silver coins.

Soon Wang An met Qian Mingzhi's friend, a middle-aged man who bore a striking resemblance to Qian Mingzhi.

"Are you the young man Qian Mingzhi was talking about?"

The middle-aged man was named Qian Tong, who was Qian Mingzhi's uncle, the deputy director of the inner city's logistics department, and he was also a third-order superhuman.

Wang An nodded.

Qian Tong casually pulled out a list: "You are now a newly recruited logistics member in the logistics department. These are the positions you can choose."

Wang An glanced at the list and found that they were all very good positions. Not only were the jobs easy and the travel convenient, but they also included a housing allowance, with 50,000 silver coins reimbursed for housing expenses every year.

This money was well spent! No wonder so many people want to be a resident of Strange Stone City. Although it's hard to get in, the benefits are really numerous!

Wang An was chosen as a squad leader in the outer city supply team. Although entry and exit between the inner and outer cities were strictly controlled, resources still needed to be constantly exchanged between them. This position was responsible for the monthly supply and transportation of materials.

After a quick signing of the employment contract, Qian Tong waved to indicate that the process was complete and he could leave. The process was so smooth that Wang An was unable to utter the words he had prepared.

But what he didn't know was that not long after he left, Qian Tong picked up his file again and looked at the information he had recorded.

Wang An was unaware of their news, which had already reached Qishi City several days prior. Cheng Feng had suffered a loss at Wang Yu's hands, so he naturally informed Qishi City immediately. As the city lord of Baiyin City, his words naturally attracted the attention of the higher-ups.

Holding the black box, Wang An and his group believed they held the reins of destiny. While their ambitions were burgeoning, they inevitably lost the caution they had shown as former scavengers.

Sure enough, they were spotted as soon as they arrived in Strange Stone City.

Qian Tong affirmed, "The documents he submitted showed signs of being altered."

At this moment, an old man walked in from outside: "But I have tested him, and he is indeed of the Fiery God system. However, according to the description of that city lord, the problem is not with him, but with another person next to him. The other party is suspected of having methods related to evil gods and may be related to cultists."

Qian Tong frowned: "Then let's observe for a few more days. But I really don't like that kid's eyes. If it really doesn't work out, then..."

"No!"

The old man rejected Qian Tong's idea: "We would have a hard time dealing with methods that could make even legendary experts suffer losses, but the shelter should be interested in them. In that case, why not spread the word and let them have a showdown with the cultists?"

"In recent years, Strange Stone City has been too influenced by the Sanctuary. Although Strange Stone Province does not have a real numbered Sanctuary, I feel that it won't be long before Strange Stone City becomes a subordinate force of the Sanctuary. This situation needs to change."

What they want to become is not just the main city of a desolate area.

Ring ring~

Just then, Qian Tong's phone rang.

I glanced at the number; it turned out to be an emergency call.

"What's wrong?"

"Vice Minister, our supply lines in the Misty Ruins have been cut off."

The Misty Ruins is a large ruin that was just developed a month ago. It is located on the border between the Strange Stone Province and the Mist River Province and is suspected to have extremely high mining value.

"Who did this?"

"I don't know, but our people sent back a message before they died, saying they saw the shadows of cultists and people from the Kirikawa Province. We suspect they were involved."

Like the Southern Plains, the Kirikawa Province borders the Strange Stone Province, but it is shrouded in gray mist year-round, with a high degree of environmental anomalies. The people there are not in a normal mental state, and there is no main city, only scattered forces of various sizes.

Many people suspect that the cult members originated from Kirikawa Province.

"This is truly unsettling; it looks like war is brewing again."

Qian Tong thought for a moment and made a decision: "Then let's send Wang An over there. It'll be a good opportunity to test the kid's mettle and see if he has any connection with those cult members."
