“What are the requirements?”

"I want to talk to you once!"

Ling Rui's calm tone was a little astonishing, which made Chen Xin a little stunned for a long time.

Ling Rui is also a very arrogant person. As a high school graduate from a poor family, he has gone to the military academy with his own efforts and has reached his current status. Moreover, Ling Rui is also an ambitious person. In the past few days since the monsters invaded, he has seized such an opportunity. With the strength and status shown by Ling Rui now, if nothing unexpected happens, his position will be promoted soon. Such a chaotic era is probably more suitable for him.

Chen Xin also had a certain understanding of Ling Rui, so when he heard Ling Rui's request for discussion, he was not too surprised after a little accident. Was he judging and estimating Ling Rui's intentions and testing his strength?

"Yes, it will be done tomorrow." Chen Xin nodded and agreed without thinking any more.

“Don’t you need two extra days of rest?”

"Need not."

"It seems that your self-healing ability is very strong." Ling Rui said thoughtfully.

Chen Xin smiled and didn't say anything. He had an indifferent attitude towards this competition. He could roughly judge Ling Rui's strength, which was about a slightly higher level than the fully liberated evolutionist. Even if the stone gate at the bottom of the lake yesterday was led by Ling Rui himself, his strength would not be improved too much.

But Chen Xin is now in a super-liberate state, and he is one stage away. No matter whether Ling Rui wants to test his strength or just want to know how big the gap between the two sides is, he may be disappointed.

In fact, by tomorrow, Chen Xin's condition cannot be said to be completely restored. Although he can walk freely now, the sprained part of his leg still hurts a little, but this injury does not seem to affect his competition with Ling Rui.

After Chen Xin happily agreed to the competition, the chat atmosphere in the office gradually became much easier. Although Chen Xin's departure disappointed Ling Rui, he did not make things difficult for Chen Xin and took the initiative to ask about Chen Xin's future plans.

"Do you want to go south or north?" Ling Rui said, spreading the map on the table.

Chen Xin hasn't thought about this issue yet. From his perspective, it doesn't matter which route he chooses. As long as there are enough stone gates and enough monsters to keep upgrading and becoming stronger, he doesn't say it immediately, but he throws the problem back to the other party: "What do you think, Platoon Leader Ling?"

"Go south." Ling Rui seemed to have had the answer long ago.

Chen Xin was stunned. Although he didn't care about the route, he thought Ling Rui wanted to go north. After all, going north was the direction of the capital. He looked at Ling Rui waiting for his explanation.

Ling Rui pondered: "If you want to kill more monsters, then going south is definitely the best choice. In fact, I received an order before that, and many of the officials who stayed there also asked me to distribute some of the troops to go north. You should be able to guess the reason."

"Is the capital?" Chen Xin said in silence for a moment.

"That's right, I think the troops in other places should have such orders." Ling Rui added.

Chen Xinshen nodded with consent. He understood that under the current situation, most of the troops were probably possible. At least they had to distribute some of their troops to head north. They would definitely clear out many stone gates and monsters along the way. In this way, Chen Xin would probably not have much chance.

In contrast, going south is indeed a better choice.

After understanding this, Chen Xin also expressed his gratitude to Ling Rui, and couldn't help but ask: "So will Platoon Leader Ling go north?"

Ling Rui smiled unanimously: "At least I won't go there myself."

Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then stopped asking anything more.

After that, the two of them chatted casually. After Chen Xin left, he needed to get a guarantee from Ling Rui about the father and daughter of the Qin family and his parents, at least it was a verbal promise. Of course, he also explained that he would definitely come back. As for whether he would come back alive, Chen Xin believed that after Ling Rui saw his strength tomorrow, he would not have this question.

Ling Rui also continued to try to get more information from Chen Xin, but he still ended up in vain. In fact, what Chen Xin could tell him was basically the same. After all, from his own perspective, he did not want the security zone to be in chaos. Although all the stone gates in Changhai City were cleared, who knows whether the new stone gates will be lowered in the future.

Ling Rui also had the same concerns, so he hoped that Chen Xin would stay and build a safe zone with stronger defense. Yes, even without the stone gate, he would not intend to remove the safe zone at all. At most, he would just lower the alert level of the safe zone. Chen Xin guessed that Ling Rui probably had any reason to make it directly. For example, if there was no safe zone, wouldn’t he, as the highest commander of the safety zone, be useless immediately?

Once you taste the taste of power, it is difficult to let go, especially for people like Ling Rui who have strength and ambitions, it is even more impossible.

Ling Rui also revealed some future plans for safe zones with Chen Xin. For example, he plans to completely merge several safe zones in Changhai City to establish a larger safe zone, which is equivalent to completely abandoning other buildings in the city and collecting all the materials for centralized jurisdiction.

"If you really want to do this, it will probably be a bit difficult." Chen Xin also smiled.

"It's indeed a bit difficult, and the pressure on the upper and lower ends is probably not small, but this is something that must be done." Ling Rui didn't say it too clearly. He didn't want to reveal too much about the pressure on the upper and lower ends.

Chen Xin could imagine that if such a safe zone was really established, Ling Rui would have greater power, but from the perspective of ordinary citizens, this would undoubtedly have more reliable security. If you encounter monsters again, you might not have suffered heavy losses like the first time.

"If that's the case, I wish you success." Chen Xin did not intend to leave forever. He would also come back in the future, but he would be curious about what Changhai City would become in the future.

The two chatted for a long time, and it seemed that the grudges between the two sides had completely disappeared before this, and the conversation was quite harmonious. Perhaps it was Chen Xin's strength that made Ling Rui more aware of it, and Ling Rui's ideas did not have any conflicts of interest with Chen Xin. The two can be said to be a mutual aid relationship at present.

As Chen Xin's thanks for cleaning so many stone gates, Ling Rui naturally agreed to provide Chen Xin with a batch of necessary supplies for his long trip.
