My Apocalypse Territory

"Every time, Tang Yu would dump these important matters on me," he thought, though he was touched by the trust, he couldn't help but wonder... After all, being a director, shouldn't he care a bit more about the major affairs of the Sanctuary?

In this day and age, mobile phones were useless, and he couldn't find anyone in the castle hall either—Chen Haiping was completely out of options.

Even though he knew that by early tomorrow, he would definitely be able to catch Tang Yu in the castle hall, by that time, the backlog of work would make it hard for him to breathe.

"I must solve this today!"

Chen Haiping felt that even the special forces training he undertook when he first joined hadn't been this exhausting.

However, the most urgent task was still to find Director Tang—there were many decisions that needed his final approval.

"Captain Luo should be able to find Director Tang; it seems they have some special way of contacting each other..."

Chen Haiping remembered when he first met Tang Yu, he only had one expert with him, but as time passed, a number of mysterious experts began to appear around the director.

Initially, he had thought that Tang Yu came from some large Sanctuary, commanding a few powerful team members, but as Chen Haiping grew more familiar with Luo Zhe's capabilities, acting as the steward of Green Shadow Sanctuary, he also received quite a bit of news from Lindong...

He was clear that even in the large Sanctuaries, it was unlikely to see so many powerful Awakeners.

Lin Wei, as a senior executive of Lindong Sanctuary with strong troops under her command, had already been quite despaired, yet upon clashing, she found that the so-called super-experts of Lindong were only so-so in front of Captain Luo and the other powerhouses.

He understood it wasn't that Lindong was too weak—the super-experts who stood out among the hundreds of thousands of survivors and tens of thousands of Awakeners surely weren't weak.

It had to be because Luo Zhe and the others were just too strong.

Chen Haiping was also aware that Luo Zhe and his group were the real confidants of Director Tang; perhaps there were some secrets between them...

But he had the self-awareness to know his place, and wasn't overly ambitious; he had no desire to delve into such matters. In contrast, Chen Haiping just wanted to know, where had Director Tang gone?

"Captain Luo is out with the Patrol Team members, Shay seems to have gone to the Source Crystal Mine to tally up today's mining, and Kong... This person is even harder to find than Director Tang."

He thought of Eileen.

Eileen's presence in the Sanctuary had been fading more recently, some of the new survivors might recognize Luo Zhe, and possibly Kong and Shay, the two deputy team leaders, while Winnie had become almost an angelic figure due to saving several Awakeners from the brink of death.

In contrast, the blue-haired girl who had been by Director Tang's side from the very beginning was rarely seen in public.

Only those old-timers who had been in the Sanctuary from early on knew of Eileen's abilities.

"She should be in the library, but I wonder if she can contact Director Tang."

Chen Haiping didn't even take the time to eat, and rushed to the library.

The main doors were still open, and the interior crystal wall lamps emitted a soft glow.

There he saw Eileen, and approached her to explain the situation.

Eileen nodded, and through the soul contract, she sent a communication request to Tang Yu.

...

Tang Yu was soaking naked in the bathtub filled with Body Tempering Liquid, practicing the beginner's Knight Cultivation Method while absorbing the medicinal effects of the liquid.

Apart from the Gravity Room, the Body Tempering Liquid and the Cultivation Method were well-matched—the cultivation technique could accelerate the absorption of the liquid, and vice versa... Tang Yu felt he could completely roll out Cultivation Packages A and B.

At that moment, he noticed a communication signal coming from the contract.

[Ding, follower Eileen is sending you a video call request, do you accept?]

Through the contract, Tang Yu could communicate with his followers, but with limitations—the greater the distance, the vaguer the communicable information became.

Based on Tang Yu's understanding, within the Territory, communication could reach the level of a video call.

If slightly farther away, it would degrade to a voice call, and even further, such as Grey Blade in Lindong communicating with him, they could only use text communication...

Longer distances, Tang Yu hadn't tried, but he speculated that a bit farther, and probably even text communication would be delayed.

Maybe they would even limit the number of characters… Sending a few sentences in jerks, with a delay of several minutes before being sent, imagining such a scene made the corners of his mouth twitch.

Accept at will.

A picture suddenly appeared in his mind, and Tang Yu saw Eileen in the library, along with Chen Haiping standing beside her.

With a bit of thought, he understood Chen Haiping must have encountered some issue and, unable to find him, had to contact him through Eileen.

At this moment…

Drip.

[Follower Eileen has ended the video communication.]

[Ding, follower Eileen has sent a voice communication request to you. Accept?]

Tang Yu: "???"

What's happening, why suddenly drop a perfectly good video call? And then switch to voice communication?

Clearly within the territory, the video was very clear, not delayed at all, there was no need to switch to voice communication.

Shaking his head, after accepting the voice communication, Tang Yu also found out that it indeed concerned Chen Haiping's issue, just as the Body Tempering Liquid was almost completely absorbed, it was also a good time to go to the library and see if that old man Kevin had returned to his senses yet.

Splash.

Standing up, water droplets splashed, and the slightly faded Body Tempering Liquid slid off his body.

After several Body Tempering Liquid absorptions, Tang Yu found he seemed to have become a bit stronger, with noticeable muscles on his body, more perfect body proportions, and his face even more chiseled...

So he had become handsomer, right?

The Great Lord Tang was supposed to be about strength.

...

Soon, Tang Yu arrived at the library.

Upon meeting, Chen Haiping started to vent his grievances.

Unheard, unbeknown; upon hearing, Tang Yu realized, the Sanctuary's affairs were indeed damn plentiful…

So, he was even more determined to delegate these matters, Great Lord Tang's resolve was firmer.

Chen Haiping, reporting across the table, felt a chill down his spine.

"… In these two days, we've also recruited some management talents. Director Tang, the Municipal Department you mentioned last time—should we start establishing it?"

After Tang Yu listened, he nodded, "You'll be in charge of establishing the Municipal Department. It will primarily be responsible for the construction of the Sanctuary and the management of survivors. Besides that, I plan to establish several other important departments, including the Armed Department, Logistics Department, Medical Department, Equipment Department, Intelligence Department... Well, just these for the moment, others, we'll discuss as they come."

These departments, of course, Tang Yu didn't intend to manage personally. The Armed Department was pretty much the Patrol Team, perhaps in the future the armed forces within the territory would increase, establishing more teams, and incorporating them into the Armed Department.

The Logistics Department mainly managed the Sanctuary's Source Crystals, materials, equipment, food, and so on…

In his plan, the Armed Department and Logistics Department were the two most important, needing to be held firmly in hand. After much consideration, for the Logistics Department, Tang Yu still decided to let Eileen manage… the other followers all had their responsibilities, Winnie as the commander of the Medical Department, Equipment Department responsible for designing and maintaining equipment, managed by Kevin, and the Intelligence Department, unquestionably, was to be handled by Grey Blade.

Although Eileen seemed indifferent by nature, Tang Yu trusted her. Anyway, there wasn't much happening at the library, so just adding another job title, later on, he would let Eileen and her team recruit the staff they needed.

In this way, the tasks were all assigned out, Lord Tang quite satisfied.

After all, had he done these things himself, it would've only gotten worse. Leaving it to others was the wise choice, yes, certainly not because he was being lazy.

On the other side, Chen Haiping's head was filled with black lines, always feeling a sense of unreliability.
