My Apocalypse Territory

Some people were exceptions.

They couldn't let go of their own foundations.

Coming to Green Shadow was a choice made in desperation, as they couldn't rely on their own abilities to traverse the dangerous zones of the wilderness and return to their original places of residence.

However, after learning about Green Shadow's "Floating Airship," some people started harboring unusual thoughts.

Riding the Floating Airship, one could easily reach any corner of Daxia Country. However, currently, Green Shadow had only opened routes within Tiannan Province, Luoxia Sanctuary, and Yangtze River Delta Base. There were not even flights to Beiting, so most areas where the Awakeners used to live were naturally not within the Floating Airship's routes.

On the first day, there were Awakeners who had requested the Floating Airship department to start routes to other regions, which was naturally not approved.

The situation escalated until yesterday when thousands of Awakeners gathered in front of the office building of the Floating Airship department, packing the surrounding streets so tightly that no one could move.

Therefore, the Guardian Corps was deployed. Those people were taken to the mountain's mining area, and because the Source Crystal Mine couldn't accommodate so many workers, they were distributed to several other mining areas.

The instigators were sentenced to dig in the mines for at least a year. As for offenders, or simply those who were impulsive and got caught up in the moment, they too had to be punished.

The mastermind behind the scenes... through interrogations and divination, were arrested and brought to justice within less than ten minutes.

This incident was posted directly on the "adventurer guild" notice board, and was published in the "Green Shadow Daily" and "Awakener Magazine."

It made those who were unclear about the situation fully understand, your lord is still your lord.

The voices immediately died down.

Tang Yu was not really a Devil. He understood the inability to let go of one's foundations, family, and friends. Once the Floating Airship fleet expanded and the timing was right, he planned to extend the transportation routes to cover all of Daxia.

But the prerequisite was to cultivate these Awakeners into mature "crops," knowing how to fertilize and weed themselves, and when the right season came, they should also learn to harvest themselves... Only then, upon initiating new routes, Tang Yu wouldn't worry about these people not returning.

Restaurant,

Holding a copy of the "Green Shadow Daily," Zhang Weilong snorted disdainfully, "What were those people thinking, still assuming they could protest nowadays? Does the law not prosecute the masses?"

His teammate, a burly bald man, was guzzling soy milk through a straw, unafraid of it being too hot... Listening to this, he lifted his head, opened his mouth, and some soy milk dripped from his lips as he coughed, "Maybe it's because the order in Green Shadow is too good, some people just momentarily forgot themselves."

...The order here was indeed commendable, aside from the attire of Awakeners, one might think they had returned to pre-apocalypse times. Unlike other large sanctuaries, where order was only maintained on the surface and chaos reigned beneath, and the productivity was far worse than before the apocalypse.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhang Weilong's mouth twitched slightly.

He recalled the memory of accidentally damaging a street-side bench and getting fined in Source Crystal... quite vividly.

In the past, no one would have dared to issue him a fine, but this feeling... wasn't bad.

Their squad of five carried most of their wealth on themselves, with no intentions of returning, living joyfully in Green Shadow—they couldn't find an available hotel room and rented a villa instead, despite lacking wifi, it had all other facilities.

The burly bald man was also reading the "Green Shadow Daily." As he flipped through the newspaper, he suddenly noticed something in the bottom right corner of a page, turned the newspaper around and pointed, "Boss, look here, the Martial Arts Hall has an open class on Magic! It teaches the theory and application of Spells!"

Excited, he clenched his fist, unable to help but swing it down, but abruptly stopped just before hitting the table and sheepishly smiled.

The open class at the Martial Arts Hall wasn't for all Awakeners, only advanced members of the Martial Arts Hall were eligible to attend...However, for powerhouses like Zhang Weilong, any class that could be attended with Source Crystals was considered open.

Is it really a big deal if you can just pay for it?

Zhang Weilong and the bald man, both of whose Awakening Abilities leaned towards the magical side, found Magic to be more profound than Combat Skills. Even a natural talent like Zhang Weilong, who mastered several Spells from birth, found it difficult to innovate.

But they had heard that Green Shadow's development and application of Magic were leading worldwide, including construction Spells, Planting Spells, and other lifestyle-related Spells.

The theory of Spells goes without saying.

He was instantly intrigued.

Zhang Weilong glanced a few times before finding the information on "Magic Open Class" in the small print at the bottom right corner of the newspaper, scheduled for tonight at eight o'clock.

Speechless.

Shouldn't this kind of course be advertised in a prominent place, highlighted and bolded?

Way too casual!

But on second thought, classes such as "How to Cultivate Efficiently," "Learn a Combat Skill in Five Days," "General Knowledge of Demonized Beasts," "Fighting Isn't Just About Being Reckless," had all been fully booked, and many people hadn't even been able to grab a spot.

Magic classes were even rarer.

Martial Arts Hall classes didn't need any advertising, merely posting it on the newspaper was just a simple notification.

A notification for those Awakeners who lacked the channels to get the news in advance.

...

At seven in the evening.

The open class at the Martial Arts Hall, "Magic Theory and Practical Application," started registration.

The location was at the Green Shadow · Extreme Martial Arts Hall headquarters...next door in the small office building where internet was inconvenient, all enrollment was done on-site.

Before seven, Zhang Weilong and his team were already waiting in front of the small office building. By then, many ability users had gathered.

—Those who were qualified to use Magic were almost all ability users, either breaking through to the Source Condensation Realm or having developed a Source Qi vortex inside their bodies... This restricted most of the Awakeners, but still, the crowd was dense.
