890 Are You Joking?! (1)
That night, as the news spread, the entire Central Province was shocked.

Gu Zheng rushed back to the Central Province overnight.

He originally wanted to go back after dawn, but he was afraid that it would be too late. What if those mutated beasts suddenly went crazy?

Hence, he went straight back and left his two sons in Jiangzhou City.

Yes, he had his own selfish motives.

After all, based on the strength and number of beasts, Jiangzhou City was the only city that Gu Zheng felt could survive this disaster.

If Gu Hui and Gu Yunfan stayed here, their lives would be guaranteed.

On the contrary, it was hard to say when they returned to Central Province.

“You’re saying that the Beast Taming Dojo in Jiangzhou City can guarantee the safety of humans?”

In the army encampment of Central Province City, the highest commander of the army, General Zhang Wensen, was in the combat command room. He looked around at the upper echelons of the army and asked the question he was most concerned about.

These words made everyone in the conference room look at each other.

Huang Haosong, who had just returned from Eastern Sea City, looked at his colleagues who did not know what to say and stood up.

“General.”

“Shoot.”

“I think we should strongly support the construction and implementation of the Beast Taming Dojo in Zhongzhou City.”

“A few days ago, I was in Eastern Sea City…”

Huang Haosong did not go back on his word.

He directly described what he had seen and heard in Eastern Sea City without adding any embellishments.

After knowing that Lin Ye only used one beast to solve the problem in Eastern Sea City, all the regiment commanders in the command room looked at Huang Haosong in surprise.

If they didn’t know that this regiment commander Huang was born and raised in Central Province and that his interpersonal relationships didn’t overlap with Dojo Master Lin’s, they would have suspected that he had been bribed by Lin Ye.

“Are you sure?”

Zhang Wensen looked at Huang Haosong. His dignified face was expressionless, and he did not know what his exact attitude was.

The reason why the army was wavering was because Zhang Wensen, as the highest authority in the army, had never expressed his stance.

Therefore, these regiment commanders could only express their support in the dark.

“I’m sure. You can also ask the soldiers who supported me in Eastern Sea City. I have said nothing exaggerated.”

Hearing Huang Haosong’s words, Zhang Wensen sat on the table in silence.

Just as the entire command room was very quiet, a soldier suddenly walked in and whispered something into Zhang Wensen’s ear.

Zhang Wensen paused for a moment before nodding.

“Let him in.”

After a while, the soldier led Gu Zheng into the combat command room.

Looking at the mayor, everyone in the command room was stunned.

Gu Zheng had no intention of being distant at all.

After greeting Zhang Wensen, who was sitting in the main seat, he said.

“Everyone, let me talk about the current situation we’re facing. Then, you can decide your attitude towards the Beast Taming Dojo. What do you think?”

When he said this, Gu Zheng looked at Zhang Wensen.

Zhang Wenzhong slowly nodded.
Gu Zheng then explained in detail the results of his discussion with Lin Ye, Twain Flynn, and Su Hongcheng in Jiangzhou City.

“This is also the reason why I informed you to send troops first.”

“No one knows to what extent the beasts outside have awakened.”

“We have to assume the worst.”

“The Beast Taming Dojo is our greatest reliance for a comeback.”

“I wonder if your army has any Beast Tamers?”

Zhang Wensen looked at his subordinates.

“Uh… so far, no.”

A clerk adjusted his glasses and spoke awkwardly.

Gu Zheng did not expect this outcome either.

He turned to look at Zhang Wensen and said.

“If General Zhang doesn’t believe me, I can get someone to take a video in the Beast Taming World tomorrow.”

“It’s unimaginably vast.”

Hearing Gu Zheng’s admiration, Zhang Wensen did not continue stretching.

“Mayor Gu, I can help with the dojo.”

“But I still trust my army more when it comes to the last line of defense.”

“We can withstand the beast tide from before, and we can do the same this time.”

“Even if it’s like it was more than twenty years ago, I believe in my army.”

Gu Zheng looked at the regiment commanders who were in high spirits. He smiled and nodded.

It was true.

He couldn’t let the army think about running away before the battle even started, right?

In any case, he had definitely achieved his goal.

As long as the army supported the construction of the dojo, the other obstacles would be negligible.

Even the old president of the Mutant Federation couldn’t do something like that.

“Thank you, General Zhang.”

“Also, I hope to find out the situation outside the city as soon as possible.”

Zhang Wensen nodded.

“Mayor Gu, don’t worry. I won’t take the lives of millions of people in Central Province City as a joke.”

Gu Zheng then took his leave.

There were still many people he wanted to find tonight.

…

The next day, when the people in Central Province woke up, they realized that there seemed to be… a different atmosphere in the city.

There were many patrolling sheriffs on the streets.

From time to time, one could even see a team of soldiers passing by with loaded guns.

As for the various city gates, they were all on high alert, surrounded by garrisons.
