Chapter 353: Pies Falling from the Sky (Please Subscribe)
Chen Family Fortress, in the martial arts training field, hundreds of people are practicing martial arts.
There are men and women, adults and children.
Some are practicing posture stance, some are boxing, some are practicing close-combat saber and spear techniques, others are practicing archery or javelin throwing.
Occasionally, those who are tired dare not rest too long, seemingly afraid that prolonged rest would cause them to fall behind the others.
Alternatively, they might be afraid of the limping man walking back and forth in the field.
At this moment, a clear and melodious bell rings, slowly resonating through the field.
The Hunting Team has returned.
Everyone in the training field pauses their actions and looks towards the direction of the stronghold gate.
"Let's go have a look. It's a good time to take a break and get some water. In half an hour, we'll resume our practice," Zhang Ren said sternly.
"Yes!"
The crowd, looking as if relieved of a heavy burden, hurried towards the stronghold gate.
I wonder how the hunting went this morning?
Watching everyone leave, Zhang Ren's gaze softened.
Those who go out to hunt are heroes of the stronghold and should be treated as such. If they finally return home but are greeted by only a few people, it would be quite disheartening.
As for any incidents, the probability should be low.
After all, they are well-equipped, and as long as they don't approach the dangerous zones, nothing should go wrong.
"Let's go take a look as well."
Chen Guodong said with a smile.
"Yes, I wonder how Wei Tiangong and the others did this time. Did they catch more than what we brought back last time?" Liu Yong rubbed his bald head and chuckled.
The stronghold has a lot of people, so they divided into two Hunting Teams, taking turns to hunt.
On one hand, this allows more young adults in the stronghold to train, and on the other hand, it lets everyone spend more time improving themselves.
"Then let's go and have a look."
"Let's go."
Just as they were about to walk forward.
Suddenly, a very familiar figure appeared in front of them.
"!"
The few of them widened their eyes, staring at the person who appeared out of thin air, their faces filled with excitement.
Because this person was none other than Chen Fan.
"Dad, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Liu."
Chen Fan smiled and greeted first.
"Xiaofan, when did you come back?" Liu Yong asked, his mouth wide open.
Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I just got back, of course."
"Ah, right, right, what silly words I said." Liu Yong looked embarrassed.
Chen Guodong was overjoyed, carefully examining Chen Fan from head to toe.
Anshan City is not the same as Chen Family Fortress; it is a mixed society, and in some ways, people can be more dangerous than fierce beasts.
In his idle moments, he would worry whether Chen Fan would encounter any danger there. If he did, as a father, he wouldn't be able to do anything to help.
And now, Chen Fan was standing right in front of him, completely fine.
Zhang Ren's eyes were filled with deep gratification.
Nowadays, he increasingly feels Chen Fan's boundless potential. Clearly, Chen Fan's current strength has reached a level that he can only look up to.
But not only did he not feel distressed by this, he was actually very pleased.
"Dad, I have something very important to say this time. I see Uncle Wei and the others have also returned. Let's gather them so I can tell everyone at once," Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Very important?"
Hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
For Chen Fan to describe something as very important, it surely must be significant.
"Alright, I'll go get them now," Chen Guodong said hastily.
"Guodong, let me go,"
Liu Yong chuckled, "You all go in first, I'll be there in a moment."
Saying that, he dashed out without waiting for a reply.
"Then we'll wait inside," Zhang Ren smiled.
The group entered the house, standing as the atmosphere grew a bit tense.
Noticing this, Chen Fan chuckled and said, "Everyone, please relax. There is no need to worry as what I have to say is actually good news."
The group's curiosity was immediately piqued.
"Good news?"
"Xiaofan, is it really good news? What kind of good news?"
"Hehe, since not everyone is here yet, why don't you try to guess for now? I'll tell you once Uncle Wei and the others arrive," Chen Fan said with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other.
How could they guess?
It was impossible to figure it out.
Fortunately, Wei Tiangong and the rest arrived quickly.
Nearly ten people were seated in the room, mostly from the original Chen Family Stronghold, with a few from the later Zhao Family Castle.
"Ahem, everyone is almost here, so I'll get to the point."
Chen Fan's gaze swept across everyone's faces as he spoke calmly, "I have been staying in Anshan City recently. I found out that Anshan City has lifted the residence policy threshold."
"Lifted the residence policy threshold? What! Lifted the residence policy threshold?"
Liu Yong exclaimed, his eyes nearly popping out.
Everyone else's expressions were also quite astonished.
This news was indeed shocking. If the residence policy threshold was lifted, wouldn't that mean anyone could now live in the city?
Is this possible?
"Yes, everyone heard correctly."
Chen Fan, having anticipated their reactions, spoke calmly, "I have confirmed this news, it's true. Previously, there were two camps outside Anshan City, and they couldn't meet the requirements to live in the city, so they had to stay outside.
Just a few days ago, the residents of these two camps moved into the city, and their original residences are now empty."
