Chapter 1049 - 379: Some People’s Blood Is Still Warm, Great Sun Golden Bowl!!

"Why are we here, slogging it out in this damn place called the Arctic?"

"Isn’t it just so we can kill the Life Ghosts with abandon and avenge our dead kin and comrades? The rules are too many within the Great Wall, too many constraints, it’s suffocating."

He pointed to the silent crowd behind him and then to himself.

His face was aglow with genuine emotion.

"We heard you’re recruiting here, recruiting those who are willing to fight the Life Ghosts relentlessly. Our hearts are moved, we’ve long wanted to join! But your city was still laying its foundation, we couldn’t reach you, the rules weren’t clear, so we thought we’d wait until the city stands before coming over."

"But didn’t expect this incident today, we got word, what are we waiting for? Grabbed our stuff and came."

"Met others on the way who were rushing here too, and just joined forces, most of us don’t even know each other’s names!"

Wang Qi finally thumped his chest heavily:

"We’re here not for anything else, just to follow God Fang, follow you guys in Dawn, to fight the Life Ghosts with real weapons outside the Great Wall, on this Ice Sea coast, dying would be worth it."

"..."

Chu Kuanglan and the team members behind him.

Were completely stunned.

They looked at Wang Qi, who was passionately expressing himself below the icy cliff, at the dense crowds behind him, travel-worn yet with eyes ablaze.

Then turned towards Mo Yan beside him, who remained expressionless...

A surge of indescribable emotion suddenly rushed into Chu Kuanglan’s heart.

Two or three thousand spontaneously?

For the name of Dawn?

For the chance to kill Life Ghosts freely?

This... this simply exceeded all of Chu Kuanglan’s imagination.

He instinctively turned his head toward the construction site.

Only to see Wei Banmeng, Su Wanqing, Lin Yu, and other core members, upon receiving Shen Zhou’s report.

Had already brought a squad of composed warriors over.

Standing in positions slightly further back, equally flabbergasted by the scene before them.

Wei Banmeng’s cold face was full of astonishment.

Chu Kuanglan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his emotions, and said to Wang Qi, "Brother Wang Qi, I, Chu Kuanglan, on behalf of City of Dawn, acknowledge your gesture!"

He clasped his fists together, his tone sincere.

"But now that the Destiny Ghost Army has just retreated, our side has suffered significant casualties, the construction site needs restructuring, I’m afraid for now..."

He hadn’t finished speaking.

Below the icy cliff, Mo Yan, who had been silent like a rock, suddenly spoke again.

His voice was still in that monotonous tone.

"I’ll stay."

Mo Yan lifted his eyelids, his hollow eye sockets scanned the busy construction site and the piles of Life Ghost corpses.

Finally, his gaze landed on Chu Kuanglan’s face.

"To help. Guard the site, or carry wood, move stones, anything."

He paused, seemingly trying hard to organize his language, and added.

"I used to work as a construction laborer."

"..."

The air was silent once again for a moment.

Everyone looked at Mo Yan like he was a monster.

Such words coming from his mouth in that emotionless tone.

The contrast was just too stark.

However, right after this peculiar silence...

"We’ll stay too!"

Wang Qi almost immediately followed Mo Yan’s words, the first to raise his arm and shout.

"Yes! Stay! Help out!"

"Building the City of Dawn includes our efforts too! Guarding the city and killing ghosts count us in!"

"Chu Team! Captain Wei! Let us stay! We have plenty of strength!"

"Many people make great power! We can help rush the construction schedule too!"

"..."

Like a spark dropped into boiling oil.

Below the icy cliff, the two or three thousand large silent team was instantly ignited.

Countless arms raised high, countless frostbitten faces flushed red.

Wei Banmeng, Su Wanqing, Lin Yu...

All the core members of City of Dawn were completely dumbfounded by the mountain and sea of voices, the fervor before them.

Wei Banmeng took a deep breath.

Stepped forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Chu Kuanglan.

Her icy gaze swept over the excited, eager faces below, even with a touch of fanaticism.

Swept past Wang Qi, swept past those few leading Tier Three.

Ultimately, fell on Mo Yan, who remained indifferent as if the earth-shattering shouts around had nothing to do with him.

Her eyes became extraordinarily serious.

"Alright."

Wei Banmeng’s voice was not loud, yet it clearly penetrated the deafening tide of voices.

"Welcome!"

"To join the City of Dawn!"

"Boom——"

An even more frenzied cheer swept across the entire coastline like a tsunami.

"Dawn! Dawn! Dawn!"

The tremendous wave of sound seemed ready to overthrow the lead-grey sky.

Shen Zhou, who had long been on the sidelines, itching and fretting, was now as if injected with adrenaline.

His plump face turned bright red with excitement, glowing.

He suddenly jumped onto a piece of ice rock, waving both arms.

Roaring at the top of his lungs with the effort of all his might, his voice even overshadowing the cheers:

"Engineering team’s brothers! Lead the way! Distribute tools to the new brothers! Assign mission areas! Where’s the blueprint?! Quick! Everyone move, move!!"

As he roared, he guided the core members and technical personnel of Deep Blue Heavy Industries like herding ducks.

"Over here! The heavy equipment maintenance area needs manpower! Those with strength, follow me!"

"B-7 Zone base casting urgently needs mixers and tampers! Water and earth controllers prioritized!"

"Material sorting and storage area, over here, nimble hands come on over!"

"Guard the perimeter! Guard the perimeter can’t slack off! Experienced combat brothers, organize patrol teams!"

Deep Blue Heavy Industries people instantly began channeling and guiding this massive, chaotic spontaneous reinforcement.

The construction site of City of Dawn, after a brief halt.

Started to pulsate with a wilder pace, accelerating its rhythm.
