Chapter 31 Leaving the City

Chapter 31 Leaving the City

While Gu Xi was patrolling his territory with his subordinates, Luna had already completed the construction arrangements for the city gate.

Luna positioned the city gate near the well. The gate didn’t directly connect to the main street but was placed in front of a pile of collapsed huts.

As the city gate was being built, the ruins of these collapsed houses were also being cleared. It was evident that Luna intended to clear this area and transform it into a military square.

Meanwhile, the materials from the ruins could be stored for future use in building the city walls or other constructions.

When Gu Xi arrived at the city gate, it was only half-built. He noticed that there didn’t seem to be anyone actively working on it. Instead, the wooden planks and bricks were stacking themselves.

He wasn’t sure what was going on.

Gu Xi stood in front of the city gate for a moment, understanding that the four-hour estimate given by the system was accurate. The time would be neither early nor late.

Gu Xi also noticed that the city gate would be ten meters wide. From the layout, he deduced that once fully built, the gate would be about fifteen meters high, making it a large city gate.

The gate would also have walkways for people, and in the future, it could be fitted with gates and iron doors.

The future city wall would start from here and extend outward. The height and thickness of Gu Xi’s future city wall would be related to this city gate.

This was quite important to Gu Xi, so he took a few extra glances.

At this moment, Luna floated out of the council hall.

“Luna, how big do you estimate that district to be?” Gu Xi pointed to the lower district.

“That area is small, only about 0.4 square kilometers.”

Luna immediately understood Gu Xi’s thoughts. She also believed that the dock area in front of them was the best place to take action.

However, Gu Xi’s current forces were clearly insufficient. Attacking now could lead to unforeseen issues.

“Sir, we don’t have enough forces right now.”

“I know. Once the city gate is finished, send me to Victoria City. I’ll see if I can find some suitable corpses to bring back and replenish our forces and negative energy. As for these troops,” Gu Xi glanced at the combat squad beside him, hesitated slightly, and then said, “leave all these troops here. If there’s an invasion while I’m gone, you handle it.”

This was Gu Xi’s first time dealing with the Death City skill, and since it was in a contested territory, he couldn’t determine if other areas would target him.

So, after some hesitation, he decided to leave his forces in Aridowei City.

Luna also understood how important Aridowei City was to Gu Xi.

Hearing Gu Xi’s instructions, Luna agreed.

Gu Xi then took Luna for another tour around the city.

After this tour, Gu Xi discovered a serious problem.

There was no food in Aridowei City that he could eat.

Having been imprisoned before, Gu Xi was already starving, and now he was nearly faint from hunger.

“Sir, should I send some people to other districts to search for food?”

Seeing Gu Xi continually drinking water to stave off hunger, Luna was concerned.
