Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Su Muya followed the housekeeper to the city lord's study and asked sweetly, "Daddy! What's the matter with calling your daughter here?"

Su Zhen looked at his innocent daughter who was spoiled by him and sighed silently. His daughter was kind-hearted, and because he protected her so well, she didn't know that people were evil. She had insisted on marrying Shi Zhengde before, and he was extremely opposed to it in his heart.

At that time, Zhengde was not a man he could rely on. With his daughter's cunning mind, it would be strange if she didn't take advantage of him. If he was still here, Zhengde would not dare to bully his daughter at that time, but in the current situation, he didn't know how long he could protect her.

Thinking of this, Su Zhen sighed sadly again.

Su Muya asked curiously, "Dad, what's wrong? He keeps sighing. Has something difficult happened to him?"

Hearing Su Muya's voice, Su Zhen came back to his senses from his thoughts and pulled the corner of his mouth: "Ya'er, I called you here this time mainly to give you two people."

After saying that, he clapped his hands at the air, and two secret guards suddenly appeared in the study. Su Muya was caught off guard and was startled.

She patted her chest and asked in surprise, "Daddy, who are these two?"

Su Zhen said: "These are the secret guards raised by my father. An Yi and An Er both grew up in the mansion. Needless to say, they are loyal. They are also the best in martial arts. They are more than enough to protect you."

The more Su Muya listened, the more she felt something was wrong: "Dad, my daughter is at home, why does she need such good secret guards to protect her? Dad, you go out so often, so you should bring Secret One and Secret Two with you."

Su Zhen shook his head: "Dad, you don't need to worry about this. I have other arrangements. As for you, if I go out, you are the one I am most worried about. The situation is not good now. An Yi and An Er follow you, so that I can go out and do things without worry."

Su Muya: "Dad, are you going out of town?"

Su Zhen didn't want her to know that there might be a war outside, so he just said to her, "Liangzhou City is short of water. Without water, not only us, but also the people in the whole city will die of thirst. As the lord of a city, Daddy must find a way to solve it, so he wants to go out of the city to see if there is a larger water source."

Hearing his father say this, Su Muya nodded in understanding: "Then Dad, you must be careful when you go out."

Su Zhen nodded: "I know, these two will follow you from today. They are secret guards, usually protecting you in the dark. They will not appear in front of you unless you summon them, so you don't have to worry about them getting in the way. By the way, don't tell anyone about the secret guards I gave you, especially Zhengde at that time."

Su Muya puffed her lips after hearing this. She knew that her father had never liked Shi Lang, and she had only married Shi Zhengde because she threatened to commit suicide. So when she heard her father say this, she did not dare to refute and could only nod in agreement.

After explaining all this, Su Muya left, and Su Zhen immediately ordered a team of people to head out of the city.

***

In a temporary camp fifty miles away from Liangzhou City, the army listed as level one alert by the Lord of Liangzhou City was stationed there.

In the main business account,

The spy was reporting to the person on the main seat: "General, we are almost at Liangzhou City. Should we take a detour?"

The man sitting on the main seat was only 33 years old. He had an ordinary appearance, the type that would be hard to detect if he blended into a crowd. Under his sparse eyebrows, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a deep light like a cold pond, which made people shudder.

Hearing the soldier's question, he sneered disdainfully: "Take a detour? Why take a detour? The whole world will be mine. It's just a small Liangzhou City. How can it stop me?"

"Pass the order down, speed up the march, and after we capture Liangzhou City, give the soldiers a few days off so they can have some fun!"

The soldier said excitedly: "Yes!"

This army came all the way from the north. The leading general was named Feng Tianxiong. He was the descendant of criminals exiled to a remote frontier area and had long held a grudge against the Tianqi Dynasty.

Now that the Apocalypse Dynasty was in chaos due to natural disasters, the imperial court existed in name only. He seized this opportunity and denounced the imperial court for committing too many evils and framing loyal officials, which led to such a world-destroying natural disaster. In the name of eliminating harm for the people, he started an uprising in the land of exile. Now he proclaimed himself the King of the North and unified the entire border.

But having tasted the power, Feng Tianxiong was unwilling to stop his expansion, not to mention that life in the frontier was far less prosperous than in the south of the Yangtze River, so he led his troops all the way south.

Although many people died due to wars and natural disasters along the way, he was able to absorb local able-bodied men into his own troops every time he arrived at a place, so the number of people in his army is now considerable.

Before coming to Liangzhou, he had already occupied Ganzhou City in the north of Liangzhou. It was because taking Ganzhou was so easy that he gave him the courage to attack Liangzhou, a military fortress.

It is said that before the natural disaster, there were only a little over 10,000 troops stationed in Liangzhou City. Normally, in times of war, troops would be gathered from surrounding cities. Now, due to the natural disaster, the order is chaotic. If Liangzhou had noticed it earlier, it would never let him take over Ganzhou so easily.

He still attacked without much effort, thinking that Liangzhou was also unable to take care of itself. He not only had food but also people, and the few garrisons in Liangzhou City could not stop him.

The King of the North led his troops towards Liangzhou, and the Lord of Liangzhou also led his troops here. However, within a few days, the two teams met on the road and war was about to break out!

Shi Anan, who was far away in Qinghe County in Lingnan, had no idea that the north had already become chaotic. Now in their daily construction, Qinghe County was changing almost every day.

Not only were the houses replanned and rebuilt, but even the main roads in the county were all paved with cement. The biggest change was around the Qinghu Bridge. This place, which was previously desolate and uninhabited, has become the most lively place in Qinghe County because of the appearance of the Qinghu Bridge and the establishment of the bus station.

A street not far away has now become the county's food and commercial pedestrian street, with shops and small vendors everywhere, and the hustle and bustle of people coming and going, giving it a lively feel.

The roads near the lake are now fenced off, and a path has been created for people to take a walk. Even at night, it does not seem dark thanks to the bright lights of the bridge.

Not only that, the reputation of Qinghe County and Guangming Town has gradually spread to the surrounding areas. Every day, survivors from different small villages come to seek refuge. The population of Qinghe County is also increasing steadily, but this rate of increase is still too slow for Shi Anan.

After several months of construction, the population of the county has just exceeded 10,000, which means she is still tens of thousands short of the population gap required to complete the main task. The people in the surrounding areas have also been almost all absorbed. If she wants more people, she can only continue to expand outward.

Therefore, Shi Anan, who couldn't sit still, was recently thinking about where to get someone. However, before she could figure it out, the long-lost system popped up again:

[Ding! A large number of refugees are detected heading towards Guangming County. Please try your best to accept the refugees and develop Guangming Town! ]
