Chapter Summary
Liu Ning and Zhao Wudi were also on the city wall, but these two were different from the other soldiers. The city wall itself was the front line of the battlefield, so to have a small rest room in this place showed how powerful their privileges were. However, neither the soldiers on the city wall nor the civilians on the city wall had any resentment at being given special privileges, because they all understood very well that these two people had earned them through their own strength.
On the human city walls, all the high-powered searchlights were turned on, and the radars were also activated. Although this was an energy-consuming activity, in this situation, preserving the city walls was the most important thing. Who would care about the energy consumption? If the city were to be destroyed, even if you preserved the energy, who would use it in the end?
Liu Ning and Zhao Wudi were also on the city wall, but these two were different from the other soldiers. They were assigned a small rest room. The city wall itself was the front line of the battlefield, so to have a small rest room in this place showed how powerful their privileges were.
However, neither the soldiers on the city wall nor the civilians on the city wall had any resentment at being given special privileges, because they all understood very well that these two people had earned them through their own strength. If we also had that strength, Old Master Wang would also arrange a place for us. Unfortunately, we don't have that ability, so there's no need to envy them.
"Take off the mask and meet those people openly and honestly. Why do you have to wear this mask? It's good to be low-key, but there's no need to be this low-key. After this is over, you'll probably be a well-known figure in this city. What's the point of wearing this mask?"
Zhao Wudi looked at Liu Ning's mask and said, "Although I am usually low-key, I feel that Liu Ning is being too low-key. It's not a bad thing. With our help, we saved this city. Can't we be a little more high-profile? Why does he have to cover his face? Does he not want to be seen by anyone?"
"Forget it, you don't know how many people follow you when you go out now. Everyone in the city, young and old, treats you like an idol. It's incredibly inconvenient to do anything. Apart from the neighborhood where you live, I'm afraid everyone else will follow you. I don't want to become a celebrity in the whole city. Anyway, I've already decided that if there's anything that requires me to show my face, I'll continue to wear this mask. If I'm not used to it, I can take off the mask and still live a normal life."
As Liu Ning spoke, he drank two glasses of wine. This was no ordinary wine; it was all from Zhao Wudi's collection. Could Zhao Wudi's wine be anything less than fine? If he didn't drink it now, there might not be any left later. This guy was known for his generosity; he would drink all the wine for every guest. So Liu Ning had to seize the opportunity and drink as much as he could.
After listening to Liu Ning's words, Zhao Wudi nodded in agreement. He realized that he hadn't had Liu Ning's awareness back then. If he had, he would have two identities now, and Zhao Lele wouldn't be being watched by others every day.
In retrospect, Liu Ning's method is better. It keeps his family out of the spotlight. He was too high-profile back then, and now the downsides are showing. He has to keep a close eye on Zhao Lele at all times, or he might face retaliation.
“You’re quite forward-thinking, kid. To be honest, I can’t do that now. The whole family is under the public’s watchful eye. Even if we wanted to hide it, we probably couldn’t. I forgot to mention something. Your mother and wife were at my house, but I felt this city wasn’t safe enough, so I sent Lele to the Central Base City. Your mother and wife went with her. It’s much safer there than here. As long as this city doesn’t fall, we can bring them back. My master is very capable in the Central Base City. Nothing will happen.”
Liu Ning was very satisfied with Zhao Wudi's arrangement. He had seen the situation very clearly. If it weren't for Ziji and Zhao Wudi's efforts to turn the tide, the city would probably have become a paradise for ferocious beasts.
At that time, no matter how capable Liu Ning was, he couldn't protect the safety of his family. When the ferocious beasts came rushing over like a tidal wave, it would be quite good if he could save his own life.
In that state, individual abilities are of little use unless you are strong enough to surpass the God of War. Otherwise, don't expect to save many people, including your own family.
Many people might say that Zhao Wudi was supposed to be selfless, so why would he arrange for his daughter to retreat at this time? But Liu Ning understood perfectly.
If he were in Zhao Wudi's position, he would definitely do the same. This is a good thing to motivate himself. Once his family's safety is guaranteed, Zhao Wudi will naturally fight for the entire city at all costs.
Many ordinary people are cursing this approach, yet they are demanding equality for all. If Liu Ning heard them, he would definitely slap them. The reason you talk about equality for all is because you are not in this position. If you were really born in Zhao Wudi's position, who knows how many absurd things you would do? The interests of the people are not important to you at all; you would probably have already boarded a plane to escape for your lives.
“Central Base City is relatively safe, thank you Uncle Zhao. There’s one more thing I wanted to ask. How come your guards are so capable? Even if the naval base personnel see them, they don’t do anything to them?”
Liu Ning pointed to the guards at the entrance and said, "Didn't the broadcast from the garrison headquarters make it very clear? All combat-capable personnel should return to their original gathering point to register. But these people haven't gone back; they're still staying with Zhao Wudi. Liu Ning wants to know how this is being done."
"The guards are ranked. Once your guards reach a certain level, their primary task is to protect your safety. No matter what happens in the city, they cannot be conscripted without cause. This is an order issued by the Human Interest Association."
Zhao Wudi said noncommittally, "These are obviously very clear questions, but Liu Ning seems to have come from somewhere else and doesn't understand these questions at all, yet he asked such an idiotic question."
Just as Liu Ning was about to speak, Zhao Wudi waved his hand lightly and pointed to the door frame. It seemed that other people had come over. This was understandable; Liu Ning had performed so well that other major forces would come to win him over. This was no small matter.
