Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 829 - 789: Survivors

"Young Master Lin has taken great care of us, with him here, you can finally rest in peace. Don't worry, one day your daughter will avenge you. She will definitely avenge all of you."

Thinking this in her heart, she nodded to Lin Yi to show she understood.

She then waved her hand to the people behind her, signaling them to remain vigilant, and glanced worriedly at Lin Yi, cautiously advising:

"Young Master Lin, be careful."

After saying this, Leng Yu's pretty face was filled with a worried expression.

She even contemplated accompanying Lin Yi into the town to have a look.

But considering the people behind her and the fact that she was needed to hold the fort here,

she swallowed those words and only uttered a simple "be careful."

Hearing this, Lin Yi gave her a slight smile, made an "OK" gesture, and stepped into the town.

Of course, regarding the gesture he made, Leng Yu didn't know what it meant, as they had no exposure to English.

Not to dwell on Leng Yu's waiting, but to focus on Lin Yi, he stepped through the gate.

Inside, there was a desolate street.

Though the houses were very ancient and decrepit, they weren't severely damaged. It was evident these Yan Soldiers didn't destroy the buildings upon arrival.

Moreover, it seemed these soldiers even did some cleaning and repairs.

Thus, although the street looked empty, it appeared somewhat orderly.

This made Lin Yi speculate that the Yan Soldiers intended to take over and control this border defense line, treating it as their stronghold.

This was why the buildings remained intact.

Seeing the desolate streets and houses, Lin Yi shook his hand, and instantly, his body was enveloped in a layer of cold armor.

Indeed, he was wearing the Iron Man Armor.

Once equipped, he tapped his toes lightly, and instantly, blue flames gushed from his feet, and his body soared into the air.

To better survey the town's specific situation, the best method was aerial observation.

In this way, if there were truly any ambushes inside, he would see them clearly.

Sure enough, as he ascended into the air, everything below came into view.

Moving slightly forward, he was somewhat disappointed to find no ambush, nor any living beings.

This left him shaking his head in helplessness, as his expectations seemed dashed.

Though this place wasn't destroyed by Yan Soldiers, the residents were probably harmed long ago.

This was something he found hard to accept.

Originally in his mind, this place would be his starting point in this world, essentially his base.

Everyone here was supposed to be his initial followers, with their relatives and families as well.

Though disappointed, it couldn't be helped. The events had happened, not something she could reverse.

After flying around the city swiftly, surveying every building and confirming there were no traces of life, Lin Yi planned to return outside the city.

After some time in flight, Lin Yi had flown from the south side of the town to the north, arriving beneath the mountain.

Yes, the town was nestled against the mountain, surrounded on three sides by walls.

Arguably, there wasn't much else here.

After looking at the mountain, Lin Yi planned to return, but his eye suddenly caught a horse pen-like area.

It was obvious this horse pen was used by the former Border Army to store horses.

Yet upon seeing it, he couldn't help but be excited as if he saw hope.

His foot flames crackled, his body swiftly rushing downwards.

The reason for this excitement and urgency was because he saw people.

That's right, people.

He saw dense heads inside the horse pen.

Moreover, they were alive.

Momentarily, hope surged within him; were these townsfolk? Were they not killed by the Yan Soldiers?

As he thought this, he arrived outside the pen and found hundreds of people lying weakly on the ground.

No one paid attention to the man who flew down from the sky.

Seeing this, Lin Yi stepped forward, crouched down, and looked at an old man shivering with vacant eyes, gently asking:

"Old man, are you from You Country? Are you the original residents of this town?"

However, he forgot he still wore the Iron Man Armor.

This sentence broke the attention of the dying old man. When he looked at Lin Yi, he was nearly frightened out of his wits.

What kind of terrifying thing was this? A body of steel.

The old man nearly fainted from fright.

Realizing the situation, Lin Yi couldn't help but pat his forehead, producing a bang, and quickly removed the Iron Man Armor.

Witnessing this scene, seeing the creature emerge as a person, the old man was momentarily astonished.

Then, his previously terror-filled eyes dulled again.

He did not respond to Lin Yi, completely ignoring him.

She reverted to her former state.

At this moment, Lin Yi spoke again:

"Old man, General Leng sent me,"
