This time, even Li Ba and the others were shocked.

When 1000 people gather together, it will be densely populated. How much is 1000 million?

"You mean, the people sitting there are all the city lords of these super cities?" Lin Guiyao was even more surprised.

If this is the case, with so many people, even with the accompanying female vases and servants, a rough calculation would tell that there are at least twenty forces sitting there!
A faction has a population of at least 1000 million. Doesn't this mean that the total population controlled by the people who will be seated in this auction is...

Two hundred million? !
Where is this a super city? This is a country, right?

"Well, ten million is the minimum requirement. Although the population of the main city of the metropolis is insufficient, the population of the subsidiary territories barely reaches this threshold." Ge Ling said.

"Where are they?" Li Ba asked suddenly.

As the killer king Li Ba, who once dominated the Underworld and had some grudges with Metropolis, he had never heard of this and felt a little strange.

According to Ge Lingtong, since these people are super city lords that he has never heard of, they must be far away from each other, so what can bring them together?
This journey is not a few days or a few weeks, but a few months or even more than a year!

Not to mention all kinds of dangerous people, things, and places along the way.

Ge Lingtong frowned. How did he feel that since he partnered with Lin Guiyao, he had been acting as a puppet encyclopedia, and he had to ask him everything, but he was the only one who knew a lot here, so that these guys would not be confused. He got into the basket and ruined his plan to go back to save Tiantian, so he had no choice but to continue explaining.

"The distance between a super city and a city is not fixed, but is determined based on the boundary they agreed upon. It may be that the two super cities are only separated by a road, or they may be separated by a large sea of ​​​​underworld. Li Ba, you are just here. This Nether Sea area is just famous, you know, you can’t even imagine the size of the Nether Sea!”

Li Ba nodded indifferently. No matter how deep the Nether Sea area is, humans cannot travel too far due to factors such as wind and sand, supplies, etc., but there are also rumors of strangers coming from the depths of the desert from time to time.

Lin Guiyao suddenly realized that Minghai used to be a sea, not the sea of ​​sand it is now.

Before the World War, there must have been many islands separated by the sea, but now they are connected by the desert. Although I don’t know why they named it after a city instead of a country, what is certain is that the Metropolis is indeed not the only one. big presence.

No wonder!
No wonder that a metropolis with a population of several million directly under its jurisdiction and a population of tens of millions under its jurisdiction has only a mere 30 soldiers guarding the city. Its other troops must be scattered along the border to guard the territory!
It's ridiculous that Lin Guiyao still has the naive idea of ​​comparing his wrists with the Metropolis. If it weren't for Hope City's construction of the city, there have been few foreign wars and he has always been playing tower defense, and the Metropolis has ignored him for the time being.

But if he really danced too hard, it would be a matter of minutes to be wiped out.

Ge Lingtong's next words made him even more determined to continue developing.

"Each super city actually has a specific territory, and they have absolute control over all the population in the area agreed upon by them. This control does not mean killing and seizing life, but that if you want to leave or enter a super city, you must go through Certain approval procedures are required to prevent the population from colluding. As a city lord, do you wonder why the metropolis adopts the policy of registering territories instead of forcibly suppressing and bringing all the territories within the territory into centralized power for unified management?"

Ge Lingtong looked at Lin Guiyao, and Lin Guiyao nodded.

He originally thought that this policy was a compromise that the Metropolis had to make because it was afraid of the joint resistance of the territories under oppression:

Only suck your blood, not take your power.

In this way, although as long as the metropolis does not oppress too much, those territories will be honest, but it is inevitable that someone will suddenly have a brain, raise their arms, and summon ambitious territories to seize power.

Although the probability of such a thing can be reduced by suppressing it when there is a sign, such as the uprising army and the like, once it happens, it is hard to imagine whether the metropolis can withstand this sea of ​​​​people.

It is obvious that by gradually intimidating and enticing, encroaching on the surrounding territories into its own direct lineage system, then the metropolis will inevitably have a stronger centralized power to unify, and such a country will be formed instead of being a city now, but in In the practice of collecting taxes, he will soon be rebelled by some ambitious lords.

But Metropolis clearly has the strength and ability to unify, but it still does so, how can he not be surprised?
Ge Lingtong sighed deeply: "But I want to say that the metropolis can rank among the super cities with the smallest population, precisely because of its free-range breeding system. Even other super cities have gradually imitated them in recent years, that man named Mayor Di is really scary!"

The advantage of centralization is that it can incorporate all the territories into the management system, turn those territories into individual parts, and assemble a powerful machine called a country. Internally, various resources can be fully mobilized for advantageous allocation, and externally, it can be concentrated for defense or even aggression. , but this advantage is on this planet, on this wasteland riddled with holes,
Not at all!
It is even a poison that can kill this country instantly!

The reason is that this is wasteland!
Although people are now having children at a much earlier age and the rate of multiple births is also high, it is possible to maintain such a large population despite extremely high mortality rates.

But the scarcity of clean food and water makes most of these populations useless or even harmful populations suffering from severe radiation sickness.

With no one to care about and no one to care for, these people can only find ways to survive on their own. Due to their poor health and low combat effectiveness, it is meaningless and very difficult to gather them together.

However, if they know that they are actually managed by someone and that they belong to this country, their hopeless hearts will turn into raging anger, and the target of their anger is this country!

You call me a citizen, but you don't care about my life?

You guys eat sweets and drink spicy food, but I can only drink radiation water and fight with radiation beasts, the loser becomes the opponent's food?

You live comfortably, but I can only die helplessly in pain?
Why?
Everyone is from this country, if you want to die, let's die together!

In this situation, with a common goal of hatred, those weak refugees will suddenly become an amazing force. Under the premise of not dying, no matter how solid the regime is, it will be destroyed by their anger!
According to the allusion, Ge Lingtong knew that no less than ten countries were destroyed due to this reason, but when Mayor Di came on stage, this situation changed...
