"That's right," Roger nodded while chewing the cake, "I can increase my workload tomorrow."

Aini:

At this moment, she really wanted to snatch the little cake from Roger's hand.

Finally, she pouted and looked to the other side, "Dad, let's have some cake. It's so late, and I know you must have not eaten out today."

Then she found her father staring at her blankly.

"Dad? What's wrong?"

Aini looked at her father with some confusion.

"It's okay," He Ao came to his senses. He picked up a small cake and looked at his daughter's tender cheeks. "It's so late, let's go and rest."

"Oh~"

Aini pouted.

She put all the small cakes on the table and walked into the bedroom with a puffy face.

boom--

A violent slamming of the door was heard from the direction of the bedroom.

He Ao laughed dumbly.

He took a bite of the small cake. It tasted very sweet and had a strong egg flavor. There was also a smiley face painted on the cake with icing sugar and chocolate.

It tastes very similar to what her mother made before she was alive.

Click——

At this moment, the closed bedroom door slowly opened a crack again, and Aini's little head emerged from the crack, "Dad, you should go to bed early, you can't stay up late anymore."

Then she slammed the door again before He Ao opened his mouth to urge her to sleep.

He Ao glanced at the small cake in his hand and said nothing.

He finished the cake bit by bit.

Then he raised his bracelet and asked Eve to search for a message for him.

A message about a cremation thirty-nine years ago.

After searching for the message he wanted, he opened another message.

News about Fortress City No. 146 being built by the Federation.

The Federation currently has a total of 145 fortress cities. In addition, there are three fortress cities under construction. They are currently designated as fortress cities No. 146, No. 147, and No. 148.

Fortress City No. 146 was the first to be built among these three cities, and it was also the city with the highest degree of completion.

This city does not have its own name yet. It is located in the vast wilderness between Dawn City and Irons City, a little to the west.

The purpose of this city was to consolidate the fortress defense line formed between Dawn City and Irons City, and to reduce the freight burden on the eastern and central parts of the Federation.

With the development of the Federation, the original long transportation routes in the east and central areas are no longer enough to handle the exchange of goods between the two sides.

And due to attacks by alien beasts, a large amount of goods were lost during transportation, which greatly reduced transportation efficiency and increased transportation losses.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new transportation hub on this line to maintain the transportation line and provide protection for the caravans passing by.

Thus Fortress City No. 146 was born.

This city is very close to the cities of Limen and Kaya.

Although the construction of the new fortress city was funded by the federation, the federation was only responsible for building high walls and coordinating immigration from major cities.

Infrastructure such as roads and houses within the city are all invested by consortiums.

A new city means a new big cake.

Currently, because Fortress City No. 146 is very close to Qunxing Pharmaceutical's sphere of influence, Qunxing Pharmaceutical is responsible for the most investment and construction, and is vaguely about to become the actual controller of this unfinished fortress city.

He Ao projected the federal map and stared at the city that had not yet been completely built.

"Roger, tell me, what kind of power can deal with the consortium?"

he suddenly asked softly.

"Consortium," Roger took another small cake, "Only the consortium can deal with the consortium."

"I'm a little tired, so I'm going to bed first, and you should go to bed early."

He Ao slowly stood up, patted his clothes, and walked to his bedroom.

"Going to bed so early?"

Roger gave him a puzzled look, then continued reading the information.

······

He Ao closed the bedroom door, locked it, and then lay on the bed.

He clicked on the character card icon in his field of vision.
