Chapter 1047 - 379: Some People’s Blood Still Runs Hot, Great Sun Golden Bowl!! (Part 2)

The voice suddenly rose:

"But Dawn still has to rise! The battle still has to be fought! Their blood must not flow in vain! We, the living, do not have the right to sit here with a mournful face, wiping cat urine."

"I, Chu Kuanglan, today in front of all my brothers, leave two words!"

"First! All Life Pearls, materials, and valuable items captured on the battlefield today are completely distributed! Divided by headcount! Divided by merit! Not leaving a single cent! This is what we exchanged our lives for! It’s deserved!!!"

"Roar—"

After a momentary deathly silence, an earth-shattering cheer erupted.

"Long live Chu team!!!"

"Long live Dawn!!!"

Countless warriors raised their fists excitedly, shouting hoarsely, the gloom on their faces replaced by ecstasy.

Chu Kuanglan waved his large hand, suppressing the cheer, his voice growing more solemn and murderous:

"Second! The names of all the fallen brothers, without missing one, will be engraved on the future City of Dawn’s highest Heroic Spirit Monument! Let future generations, let descendants remember, who paved the way for this city with blood! Their families will be supported by the City of Dawn for a lifetime! Compensation will be paid at three times the highest standard! I, Chu Kuanglan, said it! Anyone who dares to withhold a single cent, I will carve them alive!!!"

"Good—"

"Following Chu team! Following God Fang! It’s worth it!!!"

This time, the cheers were mixed with sobs.

Filled with loyalty and a sense of belonging.

Sorrow was transformed, morale was reignited.

A feverish atmosphere full of survivor’s honor spread rapidly across the battlefield.

"Work! Count the spoils! Settle the remains of the brothers! Pile up the corpses of the damn bastards! Let them see the fate of those who provoke us Dawn!"

Chu Kuanglan’s roar became the best mobilization order.

The crowd acted as if injected with new vitality, their movements became more nimble, efficiency suddenly increased.

At that moment, a figure wearing oil-stained Deep Blue overalls, hair in disarray, and with a face full of intense anxiety, almost crawled up to the corpse hill where Chu Kuanglan stood, using both hands and feet.

It was Shen Zhou.

He grabbed Chu Kuanglan’s arm, his voice urgent and fast:

"Old Chu, the construction period absolutely cannot stop! Must immediately resume work! Right away! Immediately!"

Chu Kuanglan’s eyebrows furrowed instantly.

Looking at Shen Zhou’s bloodshot eyes and nearly exhausted face, he said solemnly: "Old Zhou! The brothers just fought a hard battle, dead are dead, wounded are wounded, the living peeled off a layer of skin! Now they need is to catch a breath! You are driving people to death with such urgency?!"

"Catch a breath? Driving to death?"

Shen Zhou suddenly raised his volume, his voice breaking due to excitement.

He pointed at the bustling scene of battlefield cleanup around him, then to the far-off massive steel foundation and support truss emerging under the lights.

"Look! Look at this scale! Life Ghosts have suffered such a huge loss, will they let it go? Next time they come back, they’ll be fiercer! More ruthless! Tenfold! Hundredfold! We have no time left! Old Chu!"

He gasped heavily, his eyes fixed on Chu Kuanglan, almost squeezing words through clenched teeth: "One month! Just one month! This is the deadline set by Captain Fang! Also, the bet we, Deep Blue Heavy Industries, have placed with all our lives and fortunes! Moreover, it’s the root of whether the City of Dawn can stand when the next Life Ghost onslaught comes! Stop now? All previous efforts are wasted! All the blood shed in vain! Tell me, how can we stop?!!"

"I..."

Chu Kuanglan was momentarily speechless, blocked by Shen Zhou’s rapid-fire questions and that near-obsessive urgency.

He certainly knew Shen Zhou was right.

The City of Dawn standing one day sooner, means one more layer of protection.

But looking at those below, staggering, supporting each other, even bandaging bleeding wounds while still straining to carry...

He fundamentally couldn’t give this order.

At the moment when the two were deadlocked, the atmosphere suddenly taut...

"Chu brother! Chu brother!!"

A voice carrying urgent gasps and surprise called out, getting closer.

Only to see a young warrior from the Cyan Dragon Gang responsible for the perimeter guard.

Rolling and crawling, he rushed from the direction of the ice fields.

A mix of exhaustion and disbelief on his face.

He rushed to the foot of the corpse hill, raising his head and urgently called out to Chu Kuanglan: "Great Wall direction! There’s a situation! A... a large team! Heading towards us over here! A black mass, at least... at least twenty, thirty thousand people!"

"What?!"

Chu Kuanglan and Shen Zhou simultaneously startled.

They turned their gaze to the southern horizon where the Great Wall was located.

In the dusk, the wind and snow had not ceased.

Only to see at the distant gray-white chaotic end, a black tide slowly breaking the wind and snow, heading towards the City of Dawn’s construction site.

That was a large-scale human flow.

"Your people?"

Chu Kuanglan sharply turned to Shen Zhou, with scrutiny.

Shen Zhou now couldn’t spare to argue about the construction period, squinting his eyes and trying hard to discern, cold sweat instantly seeping on his forehead, his voice uncertain: "I... I did urgently contact several major Mercenary Corps and Adventurer Guilds from the Arctic Front for reinforcements, but... but the situation was too chaotic at that time, whoever could be called was called, but the number of people is a bit too much, and moreover..."

He wiped his eyes hard, his tone suddenly sinking.

"No, I don’t see flags of the few large Mercenary Corps I recognize."

Chu Kuanglan’s spine instantly crawled with chill.

Just having gone through a bloody battle, suffering heavy casualties, exhausted.

Suddenly appears a large mysterious team, far exceeding our numbers.

"Damn it!"

Chu Kuanglan cursed lowly, a fierce flash in his eyes.

"Old Zhou, immediately go back, tell Banmeng and Sister Wanqing about the situation, let everyone stay alert! Wounded and core engineering personnel, move toward the seaside! Quickly!"
