Chapter 373: Arriving at Thunder City
On the other side, thousands of kilometers away, after two days and two nights of flight, Waldo finally arrived in the West Region.
At this moment, heavy snowfall enveloped the area. Waldo was flying at high speed, with numerous icy winds carrying snowflakes howling towards him. However, a faint energy protective shield blocked the elements.
Before long, Waldo arrived at Thunder City, the city constructed by Lees. He remarked, "Is this the city built by Lees? It’s indeed impressive, no less than Dawn City before its upgrade, with at least a population of a hundred thousand. The facilities are all excellent!"
Regrettably, from now on, there would be no Thunder City. Waldo’s expression turned stern, and his murderous intent continued to rise, burning fiercely in his eyes.
He soon learned that Thunder City was convening a meeting of the Alliance. Since the news of Waldo’s death had spread, the fact that Thunder City was holding an alliance meeting was no longer a secret and had already circulated widely.
At this point, Thunder City was ambitious, unrestrained, and no longer attempting to conceal its intentions.
On this day, more and more people participated in the meeting. Initially, only eleven cities from the West Region participated. However, after the news of Waldo’s death spread, high-ranking representatives from various other major cities arrived at the scene to join the alliance meeting.
A whole day passed, and the number of participating cities had risen to fifteen. It’s important to note that, in the entire world, apart from the initial one hundred cities, the number of cities added later was not substantial.
Although some individuals had the qualifications to construct cities after entering the top one hundred, their combined number was only around thirty to forty.
The entire West Region had a total of just over twenty cities. So, the fact that fifteen cities were participating in the anti-Dawn City meeting was significant.
Clearly, the West Region had been significantly overlooked by Waldo for quite some time. Lees’ influence still persisted, and the opposition to Waldo remained rampant. It was rumored that even more factions were on their way to join the meeting.
Waldo harbored no illusions, and he had already sentenced to death all those who participated in the meeting. None would escape their fate.
Waldo’s primary reason for arriving in the West Region first was the overwhelming number of factions against Dawn City here. It needed a thorough cleansing, especially targeting those in positions of power. Regular survivors did not bear as much negative sentiment towards Waldo.
As the night wore on, the meeting continued. During this time, Waldo saw another helicopter landing in Thunder City, with yet another faction joining the meeting.
At the same time, Waldo received a message from Helen in Dawn City. In the West Region, a coalition had been formed, centered around Thunder City, aiming to destroy Dawn City.
Many factions in the Northern Region would also join them. Meanwhile, five cities around Dawn City had formed a ten-city alliance, targeting Dawn City.
In other regions, opposition forces openly declared their hostility towards Dawn City.
In summary, after Waldo’s death, there had been a significant shift in global power dynamics. While Waldo was alive, Dawn City was held in the highest regard, and no one dared to oppose it.
They had hidden their dissent very well. Now, in the absence of Waldo, they were all coming out of the woodwork.
Waldo grinned. "So many people were just waiting for my death all along! They couldn’t even contain their eagerness to see Dawn City fall! Well, well..."
He coldly chuckled and, in the meantime, sent out his nine shadow clones to various major cities in the West Region. Then, he descended towards Thunder City.
It was time to take action. None of the participants in the meeting would escape his scrutiny. As he fell from the sky like a shooting star onto the streets of Thunder City, the many survivors there couldn’t help but witness his arrival.
My goodness, who is this person, and why did they appear from the sky? Did they jump from an airplane or something? I didn’t hear any helicopter sounds!
This person must be a real pro! Could they be a high-ranking member from some city here for the meeting?
Heh, there sure are a lot of people. Dawn City is in real danger this time!
Not necessarily. There are still plenty of people who support Dawn City.
While the crowd discussed, the flurry of snowflakes dispersed, revealing the true identity of the figure in the center.
This individual had an expressionless face and was heading towards the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Huh? Who is this person? Why do they look so familiar?
I feel like I’ve seen him many times.
He looks a bit like Waldo.
As soon as I saw him, I couldn’t help but feel fearful. Wait a minute, he’s Waldo!
Waldo!
Boom!
That name instantly exploded in the minds of many survivors. Everyone was left stunned, their expressions filled with disbelief as they gazed at the figure not far away.
Waldo seemed to stroll leisurely, but his speed was far from slow. With the use of teleportation, he covered a hundred meters in a single step.
"Waldo is not dead!"
Everyone’s faces turned pale, and their breath caught. Even without Waldo displaying any aura, the mere mention of his name filled them with endless pressure.
All the cities in the West Region are doomed!
Someone despaired, thinking.
The news of Waldo’s appearance quickly spread to the meeting room where the secret conference was taking place. In an instant, everyone was in shock.
Subsequently, they turned pale, felt dizzy, and beads of cold sweat dripped from their foreheads. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"No way! How is this possible? Waldo is supposed to be dead. How could he possibly appear again? Who spread this misinformation to deceive us so easily? This is infuriating! There must be severe punishment!"
Exactly! The dead can’t come back to life! Waldo was already dead, his appearance is probably some trick or illusion created by the people of Dawn City, who want to frighten us and prevent us from forming an alliance!
Ridiculous! Too ridiculous!
After the initial shock, some people quickly caught on.
People don’t come back to life, it’s impossible!
"We don’t even need to think, someone must be playing tricks on us!"
But just then, someone brought a video feed inside.
In the enormous video frame, a figure with a cold and imposing presence descended from the sky. He exuded an extremely powerful aura, causing everyone around him to turn fearful, unable to approach in the slightest.
The entire neighborhood was filled with survivors, and their expressions were frozen, as if rooted in place.
They weren’t physically immobilized; it was the fear in their hearts that kept them from moving.
Then, the figure took a single step and covered a distance of a hundred meters.
And that figure was recognized by everyone present.
Moreover, they were all extremely familiar with him.
Yes, Waldo!
Instantly, the faces of everyone in the room turned pale.
From the video, there was a high probability that this person was Waldo. But didn’t Waldo die?
