The Invisible City that Su Yu discovered earlier seems to very much match the definition of lurking in the shadows.
The entire Transcendent Union had not previously discovered that city, indeed it was covert and hidden enough.
If Su Yu hadn’t been able to fly and see the flaw from above, perhaps they would still be in the dark now.
Could it be that a certain seven-star strongman, after their city was destroyed, devoted themselves to researching advanced invisibility technology and then rebuilt the city?
However, that strongman didn’t seem to consider the flaw from the sky.
Maybe he himself couldn’t fly and couldn’t see the flaw.
"Mr. Su Yu, are you going to investigate that Invisible City?"
"There might be the murderer of Illusion City hiding in that city, please take me with you when you go, Mr. Su Yu!"
Xie Yitian, hearing this, hurriedly said.
Su Yu, upon hearing this, glanced at him and noticed his determined expression, hiding a deep-seated hatred.
Xie Yitian’s Illusion City was nearly wiped out, so it would be strange if there was no hatred.
So when he heard Su Yu was going to seek out the mastermind, he couldn’t sit still and wanted to go see for himself.
If there was a chance, it would be best to personally take revenge.
Su Yu nodded, if Xie Yitian wanted to go, then he could go.
But if Xie Yitian wanted to personally take revenge, it might not be easy.
Xie Yitian’s combat ability isn’t great, even if they find the murderer, he might not be able to win.
Unless he could bring all the weapons from Illusion City, but that would cause too much commotion.
Su Yu then looked at the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back to prepare for exploring that Invisible City."
"As for investigating the potential threats in your cities, it will have to wait for a few days."
Hearing this, the others hurriedly said: "Mr. Su Yu, please go ahead, we are in no hurry here."
Su Yu nodded slightly, his figure disappearing from the hall in an instant.
He had already left there.
"Everyone, I must also go back to prepare. Farewell!"
Xie Yitian called out and left as well.
The remaining members looked at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.
"To think there are so many hidden dangers around us."
"The blockade by Zhang Chenfeng, threats from the Brutal Evil God, and the seven-star strongmen lurking in the shadows... This planet is really full of dangers!"
"Indeed, if Mr. Su Yu hadn’t joined the union, we would still know nothing, perhaps never knowing until we died..."
Everyone sighed for a while, then Xiao Shengyin announced the end of the meeting.
They needed to hurry back to investigate hidden dangers and increase their vigilance.
Su Yu snapped out of his thoughts, turned to look around, and was also a bit suspicious, worrying that his Mechanical City had also been targeted by strongmen in the shadows.
He spread his spirit throughout Mechanical City and carefully checked it over; fortunately, he didn’t find any traces of Evil God corruption or other seven-star strongmen’s presence.
Only then did he feel at ease.
In fact, he was overthinking it; with Mechanical City’s small population, it hadn’t even qualified to draw attention.
However, this inspection did reveal some issues with the city’s residents.
"Why do they all have dark circles under their eyes?"
"And those development teams from War City, even darker circles, they look utterly dejected."
"And that Yue Cheng who came to form an alliance earlier, why does he look like a ghost..."
Seeing these abnormalities in the residents, Su Yu felt a bit alarmed.
Could there really be pollution and corrosion?
Something even he couldn’t detect, how terrifying!
He quickly checked the surveillance to find the reason.
But soon, he was laughing and crying.
It turned out these residents and the development teams had been working overtime every day recently, overworking themselves, hence the deep dark circles.
In fact, the work Su Yu arranged for them wasn’t heavy at all, even quite easy.
After all, with various Intelligent Mechanics to assist, many times these people just had to supervise to prevent accidents.
Eight hours a day, with weekends off.
The conditions were incredibly good in this era.
After all, from Su Yu’s perspective, people don’t live to work.
Logically, under such good conditions, they should be full of energy and vitality every day.
But they couldn’t help but stay up late and work overtime every day voluntarily! Forcing themselves to look like ghosts...
Su Yu, having many Believers among the Radiation Beasts in Radiation Land, could transport a lot of high-quality materials every day.
The others didn’t know these internal matters, they only saw large amounts of resources being transported back continuously.
It immediately made them feel immense pressure.
They were busy every day, yet the resources they collected were less than a third of the total.
The other two-thirds were all transported from who knows where.
Moreover, those inexplicably appearing resources were increasing.
These residents and development teams were thus stimulated, working overtime voluntarily, and not sleeping at all.
Because the living conditions in Mechanical City were too good, so good that they felt guilty.
They feared being useless one day and being abandoned by their leader.
In this era, living a good life in Mechanical City wasn’t easy; they didn’t want to lose this precious home.
"Tsk tsk, these people are even competing with the Radiation Beasts? They can’t outdo them..."
Understanding these internals, Su Yu was at a loss for words.
These people voluntarily engaged in "inner cycle," whereas the competition was against a group of life-disregarding Radiation Beasts, winning seemed impossible—they’d exhaust themselves sooner or later.
However, their worry about being useless and being abandoned by Su Yu was actually justified.
In fact, these people were really not that useful to Su Yu now.
