Chapter 4438 Forced to work (1)
Chapter 4438: Forced to work (1) Chapter 4438: Forced to work (1) Professional equipment was placed on the wide square to assist in the assessment.
Those who had registered before had all received the notice of the examination and gathered at the square as fast as possible.
There were about 4000 people who had signed up, and they were lined up in several long lines. The scene was very lively.
The operation to gather the refugees needed to be carried out as quickly as possible. The longer it dragged on, the greater the casualties would be.
After Tang Zhen confirmed the plan, he immediately began to execute it. Everything else had to make way for the rescue mission.
The test officially began. The applicants would wear special test equipment and enter a virtual reality environment to test if they had driving talent.
Flying an airship was controlled by one’s mind. It could be strengthened through hard work. The stronger one was, the easier it would be to control the airship.
There weren’t many cultivators in the building, and Tang Zhen didn’t have too high a requirement. As long as one had the corresponding talent and could drive the airship normally, it would be fine.
The test time was very short, it could be completed in a minute.
After the test, once it was confirmed that the requirements were met, they could directly board the ship for training.
Time was tight, and the mission was important. Everything had to be done simply.
In addition to the pilots, the other departments were also screening together to select the most suitable staff.
An airship was operating normally with a minimum of 50 people. In addition to the ground staff, there were nearly 1000 people in total.
After testing and screening, only one-tenth of the official residents were qualified to continue the training.
The vast majority of the candidates were candidate residents, many of whom had just joined in the past two days.
Although his loyalty had not reached the standard yet, there was no need to be too demanding. He believed that it would increase in no time.
After the relevant personnel had been selected, they would enter the airship combat training directly. Lou Ling would be in charge of the entire teaching process.
As the city Lord’s assistant, the building Spirit’s capabilities were extremely powerful, and it helped to share a large amount of work.
In the early stages of the building, they were like nannies, helping the residents of the building grow quickly.
During the airship crew training, the building spirit issued a new mission.
Liu hanyan and the other cultivators all received the mission option and were asked if they wanted to help the refugees.
If they were willing to participate in the operation, they would be rewarded handsomely and have the opportunity to be promoted to commander.
They would then use the airships as a means of transportation to head to the border area of Da Qi and other places to carry out rescue operations.
After the mission was issued, it received a warm response very quickly.
All the people who were asked were very interested in the rescue mission and chose to sign up after some consideration.
It was a noble thing to be able to take the airship and save the refugees.
However, such actions also came with risks.
Being in a war-torn place, it was easy to be attacked by soldiers and bandits, and even cultivators might be involved.
If they saw the airships, they would most likely be greedy and attack the transport airships.
Although the airships had their own defensive weapons, they could not guarantee absolute safety. In order to carry out the operation smoothly, they must have experts to escort them.
Tang Zhen immediately thought of the captured cultivator captives and confirmed that they were very suitable.
Tang Zhen’s original plan was to detain them in exchange for ransom and repeat the operation against Liu hanyan and the others.
As spirit cultivators, they had to pay a higher ransom, at least five million taels per person.
But now, he felt that instead of being imprisoned, it was better to make use of them. They could work for him and earn a generous ransom.
The problem was that these guys were cunning and were likely to refuse to cooperate, or take the opportunity to get rid of the control.
If he wanted them to be obedient, he had to think of some safe ways.
Every time this happened, the cornerstone platform would become the best choice, as there were solutions to all kinds of problems.
Tang Zhen searched according to his requirements and found the suitable tools in a short time.
There was a special helmet that could control cultivators and make them do things according to the agreed rules.
If they violated the rules, they would be severely punished or even killed.
The advantage of using the helmet was that one’s cultivation base was not limited, and it could even be enhanced to a certain extent.
The user’s identity would be concealed and could not be deliberately revealed to outsiders. Otherwise, they would also be punished.
As long as they followed the rules and obediently served as tools, they would be safe.
The problem was easily solved, and the cornerstone platform did not disappoint.
After spending 1000 taels of silver, he successfully obtained 10 helmets. It was another sale at a high price.
Tang Zhen was already certain that the cornerstone platform’s price was relatively cheap for all imprisonment and enslavement-type items.
He seemed to be deliberately instigating Tang Zhen to enslave more enemies.
Tang Zhen wasn’t very interested in enslaving others. He hoped to obtain loyal subordinates and not enemies who were forcefully enslaved.
He could do it occasionally, but he couldn’t do it all the time.
Tang Zhen entered the building and saw many candidates lining up to enter and head to their respective rooms.
There were many rooms in the level 2 City Tower, and it could easily accommodate 100000 residents. Even if the number doubled, it could still accommodate them.
Other than the residential area, there were also some special areas that required the corresponding authority to pass through.
Compared to the simple and crude Level 1 city Tower, the level 2 City Tower was already intelligent and was controlled by the building spirit.
The prison of the level 2 building was built in a secret area. Not only could one not enter without permission, but even the entrance could not be found.
When they encountered a thick wall, Tang Zhen walked straight ahead. The wall that was blocking his way automatically parted.
A passageway appeared, leading to a hidden prison where the captured cultivators from both sides were locked up.
He was not shackled and could move freely. He could even drink tea and read books.
They could not damage the environment, or they would be punished.
When they saw Tang Zhen walk in, a group of cultivators stood up to welcome him. They secretly guessed his purpose for coming here.
With their cultivation completely sealed and their lives in their hands, all the cultivators were feeling uneasy.
Up until now, they were still unclear of Tang Zhen’s identity and background. Similarly, they did not know how to resolve the crisis.
Now that Tang Zhen had taken the initiative to come, it could be considered an opportunity. After both parties communicated and negotiated, there might be a possibility of escaping.
With their backs to their own camps, the cultivators had a certain level of confidence and felt that they had the qualifications to negotiate with Tang Zhen.
Perfected Lu Yun smiled as if he didn’t mind his current situation. He was like a scholar who remained calm in the face of danger.
Tang Zhen had already experienced his hypocrisy before this. However, he still smiled and replied.
However, the sneer in his eyes made Lu Yun’s face turn stiff. Occasionally, a trace of gloominess flashed across his face.
Dao master poison fire was in the corner. His old face was still stinky as he fiercely glared at Tang Zhen.
Previously, venerable poison fire had almost gone mad with anger.
He was very clear in his heart that the wild dog was only being controlled by an illusion and was being used as a tool for Tang Zhen to take revenge on him for his mouth.
Although he knew it clearly in his heart, he had no way to take revenge.
The strength that Tang Zhen had displayed was enough to shock all the cultivators. Even if their cultivation wasn’t restricted, they knew that they weren’t a match for Tang Zhen.
He could only think about revenge at the moment. It was impossible to achieve it.
Venerable poison fire coldly snorted when he noticed Tang Zhen’s gaze sweeping over. After which, he guiltily shifted his gaze away.
As a veteran cultivator, he would not make such a low-level mistake and humiliate himself in such a situation.
Tang Zhen stopped in the hall as his voice sounded.
the environment here is ordinary, so I hope everyone doesn’t mind. If you have any special needs, you can also take the initiative to ask.
The cultivators snorted to themselves. They didn’t care about the environment, and they didn’t lack anything. All they wanted was freedom.
At the same time, he was also very clear that this was just Tang Zhen’s opening speech. Next, he would be stepping into the main topic.
Tang Zhen explained his intention the moment this thought rose.
“I’m here for one thing. I want you to be the airship’s guards.
This is not a request, but an order. Who agrees and who refuses?”
Tang Zhen smiled as he spoke, revealing the purpose of his trip.
All the cultivators ‘expressions changed. They didn’t expect Tang Zhen to make such a request. Moreover, his attitude was so arrogant.
From his tone, one could tell that whoever dared to reject him would definitely suffer the revenge of Tang Zhen.
The perfected Lu Yun was silent for a few moments. He could not help but ask, ” “Aren’t you afraid of offending the northern border of the South Alliance?”
