Sequence: The God Eater

Qin Siyang just picked up the teacup and took a sip. When he heard the number, he choked and almost spit out the tea.

"4444?! Not a bad place?! Principal Zhao, are you kidding me? The name of this place sounds unlucky! Why build a military camp here?"

"You can build the barracks just because it looks unlucky. If it weren't for the extremely unlucky number in this area, it would have been occupied by someone long ago. How could it be your turn?"

Zhao Longfei stood up, took out a map from the bookcase behind the table, and spread it on the table.

"Come and see."

Qin Siyang moved forward. The lines on the map were complex and delicate, with densely packed area divisions marked on them. They were much more detailed than the maps in Harrison's courseware during class.

His eyes followed Zhao Longfei's finger.

There is an area with its name circled in red, which stands out.

"This is Area 4444."

"You've taken Harrison's geography class, so you should know that the entire 4th state is an internal area that provides logistical support for the safe zone, including heavy industry and animal husbandry. There is no safe zone exit. Area 4444 is no exception."

Qin Siyang was stunned: "Internal area? No, no. If it is a purely internal area, then I can't train the troops to hunt gods and cooperate in combat outside the safe zone. What use can soldiers who have never experienced actual combat be?"

"Can't you read a map?!"

Zhao Longfei drew a circle around area 4444.

"Take a good look. Although area 4444 has no exit from the safe zone, the three areas around it are all on the edge of the safe zone. If you want to train your troops outside the safe zone, can't you just go through the adjacent areas?"

"What you said... their area is not part of the 4th state. Why should their district chief allow me to lead troops through it?"

"Are you stupid? You have soldiers at your disposal, and they are all Sequence Ability Users. Why wouldn't he let you pass through?!"

Qin Siyang suddenly realized something, his eyes sparkling: "That makes sense! It makes a lot of sense! Go on."

“If you want to build your military camp in an area, you must first get permission from the district government.”

Qin Siyang was dissatisfied: "I have said it several times, it is not to build my military camp, but to build Chu Xiaoang's military camp!"

"I don't have time to play word games with you."

Qin Siyang touched his chin and said, "The geographical location of the 4444th district you mentioned is not bad, why is there no force operating it?"

"Didn't I say it because his name is unlucky?"

"That's it?"

Zhao Longfei looked surprised: "Isn't that enough? You are a person who has to consult the almanac every day before going out. How dare you say 'that's it'?"

Qin Siyang was still puzzled: "Is everyone like this? Is there no one who dares not to believe in bad luck or evil?"

"You don't believe in bad luck or evil? What are those things outside the safe zone called? Gods! Where do you improve your current sequence ability? The Path of Believer! The world is a huge theological cage, and you tell me you don't believe in luck?"

"Besides, who among those who have some status in the safe zone doesn't work hard 30% and have a lot of luck? For example, kid, isn't it luck that you can get to where you are today?"

Qin Siyang coughed and said, "It mainly depends on my personal efforts..."

"Come on, forget it! You can be where you are today thanks to the Heart of the Vine, the Crimson Crystal, and those treasures who desperately rushed into your arms! It has nothing to do with your personal efforts!"

“…”

"4444, die, die, die. In the safe zone of the apocalypse, countless people die every day. Even someone as strong as Yan Budong was killed. Everyone has an inexplicable taboo about the word 'death'. Its geographical location and resources are not irreplaceable. Who would want to encounter this bad luck?"

"Then I can't do that either!"

"You're tough."

"?"

"I have never seen anyone with a tougher fate than you in my life. If someone else had your experience, they would have died dozens of times ago! You have great luck and a special destiny. You can handle things that most people cannot."

“…”

"Come on, don't be shy and act like a grown-up girl!"

Qin Siyang gritted his teeth. He had died once, so he had no reason to be afraid of death. "Okay. Is there any strategic advantage in building a military camp in Area 4444? It can't just be a place to stay, right?"

Zhao Longfei looked at Qin Siyang deeply, then drew a curve on the map with his finger, passing through Area 4444, then through Area 7, and finally connected to the Qishen Mountains.

"As long as you take over Area 4444, once the safe zone changes, these roughly one thousand areas will be under our control, and no one will be able to enter."

"Huh?! More than a thousand areas?!"

"That's right." Zhao Longfei held a cigar in his mouth, and the smoke rings he exhaled were full of dominance: "When we wipe out the Richard family, we will also take down several strategic points, and the forces in the safe zone will be connected!"

Qin Siyang looked at the area marked out by Zhao Longfei again and swallowed.

The Zhao family keeps a low profile, but they only do big things!

The 4444th area that Zhao Longfei pointed out to him was exactly at the center of the area boundary line.

"So, you've been waiting to take over this 4444 area for a long time?"

Zhao Longfei nodded. "That's right. If we don't take over Area 4444, our defense will be greatly breached, and we can't be sure what problems will arise. Whenever I think of this area, my brother and I feel very uncomfortable, much more uncomfortable than when Kraft was the head of Area 7."

"Then why don't you try to occupy it? Isn't it because you are afraid of bad luck?"

“Because the coalition government will not allow the black market to operate on the turf of the fourth state.”

"Ah? Principal Zhao, I've read a lot of laws, don't lie to me. Which law of the coalition government mentions the word 'black market'?"

"It wasn't written down openly. Secretary-General Gu Weiyang secretly mentioned it to me and my brother."

"Why?"

"The 4th state is the reserve and production base of various basic resources, which is the guarantee for maintaining the normal operation of the safe zone. They don't allow us to make small moves in these areas, engage in hoarding and reselling businesses to disrupt the order."

Qin Siyang nodded: "I see. As the saying goes, there is no business without fraud, and Secretary-General Gu's concerns are not a problem."

Zhao Longfei glanced at Qin Siyang with a bad look on his face, and then said, "In short, we can't operate in areas starting with 4, and we can't even take on formal construction projects. Similarly, the three major chambers of commerce can't operate here. Only self-employed people and those who have obtained permission from the coalition government can do business."

"The Chamber of Commerce is not allowed to intervene, but the Legion is allowed to get involved?"

Zhao Longfei said with disdain: "Merchants are people who take money, and soldiers are people who spend money. How can they be compared? As long as the army does not overly oppress the local coalition government and the management of soldiers is acceptable, almost all regions welcome you to set up military camps."

"Is it possible?"

"Of course! Because of the name, no one is willing to invest in District 4444, and its development in all aspects is mediocre. Your military camp can bring a thousand sequence ability users. With a thousand sequence ability users, at least tens of thousands of ordinary people's jobs can be created."

Zhao Longfei pointed at District 4444 on the map: "I can be sure that this district chief will welcome you to build a military camp!"
