As Zhao Kai toured the city, leaders from other regions also arrived at Nameless City one after another.
Lin Yu provided the same reception to everyone, without any special treatment. In the eyes of Nameless City, these bases were all similar.
After the original leader of Dragon City’s base was killed by Lu Heng, Lin Yu and his group did not reinstate the former personnel. Instead, they assigned a manager from Nameless City to oversee it.
Therefore, the people from Dragon City had arrived at Nameless City two days earlier.
Vehicles, arranged to receive the various leaders, successively transported those individuals from the outer city directly to the inner city.
These people had a general relationship with Nameless City. They were unfamiliar with Nameless City’s system, so they did not make any special requests and simply followed Nameless City’s arrangements.
By lunchtime, all invited base leaders had arrived.
The personnel accompanying Zhao Kai also received the news and escorted Zhao Kai back to the inner city.
Soon, a large conference room was filled with the leaders of several major bases that could be contacted within the country.
Lin Yu did not act presumptuously; he arrived around the same time as Zhao Kai.
Due to his youth, he was still somewhat worried about being looked down upon by the leaders of these bases.
However, considering Nameless City’s current strength, he felt a surge of confidence.
Sitting in the main seat, Lin Yu smiled and greeted everyone around the round table.
“Hello everyone, I am Lin Yu, the Deputy City Lord of Nameless City.”
He paused and then continued, “It is not to show disrespect to all of you present that I, the Deputy City Lord, am receiving you.
The main reason is that the true City Lord of Nameless City, Lu Heng – City Lord Lu, rarely manages the specific affairs of Nameless City and is often away.
Therefore, I am handling this on his behalf.”
“Hahaha, there’s no need to be so formal, City Lord Lin is also young and promising.”
Zhao Kai, leveraging his relationship with Nameless City, quickly helped to smooth things over.
Lin Yu smiled kindly at Zhao Kai and then proceeded to the main topic of the day.
“It is already lunchtime. I will briefly explain to everyone present the purpose of inviting you here.
Everyone should be aware of the current national situation. The biggest problem we face now is the zombies.
However, in the matter of eliminating zombies, Nameless City can be considered the vanguard of all bases nationwide.
You have likely heard of Nameless City’s strength, otherwise, the leaders of the bases present would not have come in person. You probably wish to see for yourselves how strong Nameless City truly is.”
Lin Yu looked at the people around the round table. The base leaders present were mostly older, almost all in Zhao Kai’s age group.
Some were even white-haired, likely having held high-ranking leadership positions in their regions before the apocalypse.
They were not on the same level as him, a high school student before the apocalypse.
These individuals had connections before the apocalypse, and many of them knew each other.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the room was quite good for a time.
After listening to Lin Yu, a middle-aged man spoke loudly, “I am Zhao Liang from Pingyao. I did indeed come to see if Nameless City is as good as everyone says.”
The apocalypse brought about by the zombies allowed Pingyao, with its ancient city, to establish a substantial base in the early stages of the apocalypse.
It quickly became the best survivor sanctuary in the early days of the apocalypse.
It can be said that they contributed significantly to humanity’s resistance against zombies in the early stages, saving many survivors.
Therefore, Zhao Liang’s words carried a hint of arrogance at this moment.
Lin Yu had conducted thorough research on everyone present today, so he did not say much to Zhao Liang.
However, Lin Yu believed that anyone who toured Nameless City would develop a sense of recognition for it.
“Well, I do not wish to dwell on Nameless City’s achievements here. The reason I have gathered everyone today is to inform you of something even more important.
Do you know how humans transformed into zombies? Of course, besides being bitten and infected.
What was the reason for the emergence of the initial wave of zombies?”
“Has Nameless City found the reason?”
An old man, who had not spoken until now, looked up at Lin Yu. He was a leader from Shangjing City, rumored to have been a general in a certain military region.
Lin Yu smiled at the elder and said, “Nameless City has indeed found the reason. However, it is also lunchtime, and I imagine everyone is hungry. How about we taste Nameless City’s cuisine, and then we can discuss these matters in detail this afternoon?”
“How can that be? Such important matters should be communicated to us sooner so we can prepare accordingly.”
Someone was dissatisfied with Lin Yu’s arrangement. They had food available on the plane, and people generally carried some supplies with them when traveling.
If Nameless City had truly found the reason for human infection into zombies, it would certainly mean they had developed an antidote for zombies.
Therefore, they were more concerned about this matter Lin Yu mentioned than about eating.
“Yes, let’s discuss the main business first. We can afford to go hungry for a meal or two.”
In the apocalypse, who hadn’t experienced hunger? For a long time, everyone had tasted the bitterness of lacking food.
At this moment, everyone present spoke up, eager to know this secret as soon as possible.
No one doubted Nameless City’s ability to solve this problem anymore.
“Let’s go to lunch first. I’m also a bit hungry. I’ve heard that Nameless City has abundant resources, so the food should be good too.”
It was the elder from Shangjing City who spoke again, preventing the crowd from pressing further.
Lin Yu smiled at the elder, stood up, and walked to his side, saying, “Elder Fei, what would you like to eat? I’ll have someone arrange it for you. Our chefs here are all of five-star hotel caliber.”
“Hahaha, my appetite is good, I can eat anything. But it’s been a long time since I’ve had fresh meat, do you have any here?”
“Yes, we have all kinds of meat and seafood. These dishes have been prepared, and you can also try some special mutated animal meat.”
“That’s good. It seems I made the right decision to rush here. I can finally have a good meal.”
Seeing that Elder Fei from Shangjing had stood up and was leaving with Lin Yu, everyone else at the table exchanged glances and reluctantly followed them out of the conference room.
Soon, everyone was led to the dining area.
The decor here was comparable to before the apocalypse. The luxurious decoration in the room made everyone feel as if they had returned to the pre-apocalypse era.
After being led to their seats, various dishes were successively placed on the table.
In the center of the large dining table, many fresh flowers were arranged, filling the room with the fragrance of flowers and food.
As dish after dish of colorful cuisine was served, the people in the room momentarily forgot the urgency they had felt just moments before.
