At ten o'clock in the evening, the evening breeze is gentle.

Zhuang Ren finally came.

As soon as he came, he pushed the wheelchair man aside and became the main force in negotiating with Su Xia.

"Damn it, you two talked for so long, and you didn't even open a bottle of wine?"

Zhuang Ren slapped the table with a bad look on his face.

The wheelchair man gave another wry smile, and immediately ordered someone to get wine from the underground wine cellar.

It didn't take long for barrel after barrel of mellow wine to be brought up.

"That's right! How can we talk about things without drinking?" Zhuang Ren frowned, picked up a small wine barrel, and took several big gulps for himself.

Then, he wiped his mouth, looked at Su Xia, and said freely: "I rushed here from Coral City overnight, for fear of missing the negotiation with you bastard. Smoked!"

"Let's get down to business." Su Xia smiled lightly.

"Business? What's there to say? Do you bastard agree to a truce?"

"agree."

"Isn't that enough? What else can we talk about?"

Zhuang Ren looked indifferent, as if he came here overnight just to drink and didn't care about the negotiation at all.

The wheelchair man couldn't help reminding: "Master Zhuang, the details have not been agreed upon yet. The contract can only be finalized after the details are agreed upon. Both parties must sign a contract. This kind of verbal promise..."

"Sign a fucking contract!"

Zhuang Ren interrupted him rudely, then pointed at Su Xia and said, "This bastard is a sixth-level creature. What kind of contract do you think can bind a sixth-level creature?"

The man in the wheelchair looked puzzled, and replied, "You can't just sign everything, right?"

"Why not?"

"..."

The wheelchair man was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and stepped back while shaking the wheelchair.

As smart as he is, he can naturally guess the intention of the tavern.

With so many members of the Council of Elders, only Zhuang Ren, an elder with a good relationship with Su Xia, came to negotiate. This is enough to explain a lot of things.

"Since we're not talking about business, let's talk about something else." With a calm expression, Su Xia got herself a glass of wine, and chatted with Zhuang Ren while drinking.

He talked about the previous question, that is, the relationship between the Zero Tavern and the Machine Race.

What surprised him was that even Zhuang Ren, the fourth veteran, had many things he didn't know.

Even Zhuang Ren didn't know the first and second elders at all.

"Didn't you rebuild Zero Tavern together?" Su Xia asked in surprise.

"Yeah, but those two bastards have always been wearing masks. Just like you, they have no idea what they are like under the masks."

Zhuang Ren said that among the twelve first-generation elders of the Council of Elders, the first and second elders are the most mysterious.

After the reconstruction of the Zero Tavern, the two were rarely seen.

Every time the elders meet, the first and second chairs are vacant.

Even though they are both elders, Zhuang Ren and others don't know the details of these two people.

As for the third elder, the mysterious person code-named "Herring", Su Xia actually knew him a long time ago.

"Master Wu Hongyu?" Su Xia was surprised.

"It's her."

Through communication, Su Xia learned that the identity of the pharmacist was just a cover for Aunt Wu Hongyu.

This old aunt was also a ruthless person who killed people without blinking an eye.

This point is a bit similar to Su Xia.

He also has a pharmacist identity as a cover.

As for the fourth elder, Zhuang Ren himself, there is nothing to say.

As for the fifth elder, his identity was somewhat unusual.

"His code name is 'Polar White Bear'. You can guess his identity just by thinking about it." Zhuang Ren said lightly, "Just to remind you, you saved his son."

"It's actually that one?"

Su Xia was surprised again.

The fifth elder of Zero Tavern, the legendary Lord of Bear City?
He suddenly remembered that when the tripartite meeting was held in Dragon City, Mikhail, the representative of Bear City, had said: Bear City had prepared a big gift for the masked monster.

Could that gift be the resurrection coin in front of me?
The city lord of a human gathering place is actually the elder of a neutral organization... This is strange no matter how you look at it.

As for the other seven first-generation elders, Su Xia has already met five of them.

It was the three who died in Su Xia's hands, and the two who escaped with serious injuries.

The three who died happened to be the veterans No. 11 and No. 12 who were ranked tenth from the bottom, and the two who were seriously injured were the eighth and ninth.

The remaining sixth and seventh elders, one is a paleontologist and the other is a occult researcher, neither of them are involved in the daily affairs of the tavern.

In the past few months, those two have been doing research in their own laboratories, and they don't know what happened to the outside world.

Prior to this, Zhuang Ren had been unable to contact them until two days ago.

That is to say, in the past few months when Su Xia and Zero Tavern have been fighting all over the city, the first, second, sixth, and seventh elders have never been in charge of the tavern.

The Council of Elders was basically controlled by the five elders who were extremely hostile to Su Xia.

"The deaths and injuries of those five guys made me quite comfortable. I have long disliked them, but I can't do anything to them because of my status...You bastard can be regarded as a favor."

It could be seen that Zhuang Ren was in a good mood.

The battle within the Elders' Council was not small. In the past, Zhuang Ren couldn't compete with those guys, so he showed a laid-back look.

He originally planned to hold a meeting of elders in the past few days, invite the sixth and seventh elders, and jointly put pressure on the seriously injured eighth and ninth elders to let them lift the wanted order for Su Xia.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first elder would show up.

"Didn't you find the first elder?" Su Xia asked in surprise.

"I don't even know his phone number. Where can I ask him?" Zhuang Ren shrugged, saying that the first and second elders were so mysterious that they didn't leave any contact information.

In other words, these two showed up on their own initiative.

They sent out two resurrection coins one after another, expressing their intention to save Su Xia's life.

On the other side, Aunt Wu Hongyu also gave out the third resurrection coin as if she had a tacit understanding.

Zhuang Ren followed suit and gave away the coin in his hand.

The last one is the one in the hands of the Lord of Bear City.

"I thought you two had discussed it." Su Xia said in surprise, "So, you haven't discussed it at all?"

"Well, we haven't chatted before, maybe it's a tacit understanding." Zhuang Ren shook his head, this time it was indeed a coincidence.

Five people sent out resurrection coins one after another, and it looked like they had discussed it.

Not only Su Xia, but also many people in the outside world believed that these five elders had negotiated.

But in fact, the five of them never met.

Next, Su Xia and Zhuang Ren chatted a lot about Zero Point Tavern until dawn the next day.

In the end, the two talked back to the original topic, that is, the relationship between the Zero Tavern and the mechanical clan.

"I don't know much about this." Zhuang Ren pondered for a moment, and then said: "I only know that after the tavern was rebuilt, the number one person went to the Silver City in person. With a contract, it is a contract of equality."

That contract represented the Machine Race's recognition of Zero Point Tavern's status.

This is also the biggest difference between Zero Point Tavern and other large forces.

Other large forces, not to mention taking contracts, can't even enter the gate of the Silver City.

In general, Lingdian Tavern's current reputation is inseparable from the "breaking out of the cocoon" of the first patriarch.

After chatting all night, there were several large empty wine barrels beside the two of them.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, is there anything else I need to know?" Zhuang Ren asked Su Xia.

"Yes." Su Xia nodded.

"Why?"

"last question."

"You said."

"About the wreckage of an alien spaceship controlled by the Zero Tavern."

"Oh, that thing is in the far north. If you want to see it, go and see it yourself..."

Zhuang Ren acted indifferent, and casually threw a map to Su Xia, which marked the location of the alien spaceship wreckage.

He stood up slowly, and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, looked at Su Xia again, and asked, "The smart steward of the alien spaceship said, he already has a master, should the new master Could it be you?"

Su Xia smiled, but did not answer.

Seeing him like this, Zhuang Ren had the answer in his heart and didn't ask any more questions.

The two are separated.

This bloody killing that lasted for several months came to an end.

After the news spread, there was a heated discussion in the outside world, with different opinions. Some thought it was a real peace, and some thought it was a short-term truce.

But no matter what, the next period of time should be spent in peace.

Of course, there are also many people who have seen the storm hidden under the calm.

"The troubled times are coming."

The captain of the fire squad sighed.

The months of battle between Su Xia and the Zero Tavern just kicked off this troubled world.

The real cruelty is yet to come.

Although it is still quiet on the surface, prices in various cities have begun to rise, especially food.

Don't talk about other cities, just talk about Coral City where Su Xia is located.

In just a few months, the price of food in Coral City doubled.

Although there are many grain merchants maliciously raising prices, it is enough to see the problem.

After returning to Coral City, Su Xia took charge of the school, continued to recruit students, and constantly improved the school's various rules and regulations.

At the same time, he also sent many people to purchase supplies.

"Don't be too expensive. When the war really comes, all the banknotes in your hands will become waste paper. It is the best choice to exchange them for food now!"

Su Xia has already hoarded a lot of food, and there are also a lot of other supplies, all of which are stored in the underground space of the pharmacy and the school.

The pharmacy is not far from the school, only one or two kilometers, and the underground has already been opened by Su Xia.

In the past few months, Su Jianshe and his construction department have not been idle, and have connected the other two areas with the school, greatly expanding the scale of the school.

The scale of the entire school is no less than that of a small town, and it is like a city within a city.

A very solid outer wall was built on the edge of the school. It was tall and thick, and the materials used were quite sufficient. When the cement layer on the surface was knocked, you could see the densely packed steel bars inside.

Inside the outer wall, there is a taller and thicker inner wall.

Inside the inner wall are reinforced concrete buildings built in accordance with military fortification standards.

The ground of the school has also been reinforced. The reinforced concrete layer alone is 35 meters thick, so it is not afraid even if it encounters the most advanced ground-penetrating bombs.

At the beginning, when Su Jianshe saw the sketch Su Xia gave him, he sighed: "This is really crazy."

For the school project, the progress of the rest of the entire Coral City project has slowed down a lot.

During this period of time, Su Jianshe lost more than ten catties and his skin darkened a lot.

After the project was completed, the first request he made to Su Xia was not to settle the balance of the project, but to let his family move to the school.

"Master Su, there are only five people in my family. They won't cause you much trouble. I am willing to pay all their expenses while they live here." Su Jianshe obviously smelled the atmosphere of war.

The school was established by himself, and he knew the horror of the school's defensive capabilities.

Just Su Xia asked him to build more than 50 escape routes underground, and Su Xia will definitely prepare some backups.

On the day of the war, the probability of surviving in school far exceeds the probability of surviving outside.

Facing Su Jianshe's request, Su Xia agreed without much thought.

"Okay, Minister Su, you can bring your family and all the daily necessities you can bring at home." Su Xia nodded and said.

"Thank you!"

Solemn thanks to Su Jianshe.

After this period of time, the number of people living in the school gradually increased.

Many pharmacists went home and brought their relatives.

Two months later, the number of people in the school has exceeded [-].

The cloud of war is getting thicker and thicker.

The price of goods in Coral City keeps skyrocketing, and the price of food has increased seven times, and it is still rising at a terrifying speed.

On this day, Su Xia stood on the roof of the teaching building, looking down at the entire campus with deep eyes.

"Whoosh..."

There is a strong wind between the sky and the earth, thunder rumbles overhead, and the clouds are dense, which is a harbinger of the coming storm.

Beside him is Yu Tuo standing with his hands behind his back.

Yu Tuo has become much stronger, almost approaching a level six creature.

During this period of time, the machine race did not skimp on spiritual energy resources, and spared no effort to improve the strength of the entire race, even a cyborg like Yu Tuo got a lot of benefits.

"A storm is coming." Yu Tuo said indifferently, looking at the sky.

"Yeah, the storm is coming."

Su Xia got the news from several roommates.

Today is the offensive day discussed by players from all over the world.

Taking into account the time difference between countries, they set the attack time at ten o'clock in the evening.

Naturally, this news cannot be hidden from the mechanical tribe.

"Do what you should do well. After this battle, you will be the new city lord of Coral City." Yu Tuo left a faint sentence before leaving.

Su Xia stood alone on the roof of the building, her face calm and unchanged.

The status of the new city lord may be very attractive to people like Siji Dao.

But Su Xia was not interested at all.

He slowly returned to the principal's office, called everyone in the school management, and held a short meeting.

"Teaching work is suspended, schools are closed, and war is coming."
