The cold rain is dripping, dripping, dripping.
It’s still going down, sometimes dense and sometimes sparse.
The stagnant water spread across the streets underfoot, and there was an unspeakable rancid smell everywhere.
A team of six guards from the Silver Shelter shrank their heads and quickened their pace, wishing they could rush back to the warm shelter immediately and take a hot bath that was comfortable for both body and mind.
Since the apparent peace has been restored in the entire Qinggang City, patrolling the blocks above the shelter has become a daily task.
Even if it is freezing cold now, each shelter must be responsible for the security of its own area.
Of course, there were some shelters that were unwilling to accept it at the beginning, as they did not want to increase labor costs for no reason.
But as Tianyuan Shelter, which runs a separate business, made a strong move and claimed that it was not willing to be responsible for the security of the neighborhood, the shelter's convoy would never enter.
In the chaotic southern suburbs, dozens of shelters quickly made obedient compromises under their interests.
Although it sounds strange.
In the past, when Qinggang Shelter was at its strongest, these guys dared to fight together without fear.
Why is it that now, the door of the shelter has been blown open by the cannonball of profit?
But bombarded by countless low-priced industrial commodities and delicious fruits and vegetables, the managers of the southern suburbs shelters are extremely clear.
Compared with those head-on confrontations with a strong smell of gunpowder, the current calm without even the slightest smell of gunpowder is the real war!
Whoever runs slowly has not set up a trading line with the booming Tianyuan Sanctuary.
The supplies in the shelter will not be circulated.
Without circulation, it means that you can only sit and eat.
With the impossibility of the Foundation's merchant ship arriving, sitting on the fence has almost pronounced the death of the shelter.
The difference is only rapid death and slow death.
So even if there are some rules that sound a little "outrageous", as long as they don't touch their fundamental interests, they have no choice but to accept it with their noses pinched.
"The weather is getting colder and colder. When will it get warmer?"
"I think it will be difficult in a short time. This strange world is really strange."
" Hurry up, I heard that a new batch of goods arrived at Tianyuan Shelter today. It will be difficult to grab them if you go back late.” I don’t dare to buy anymore for my monthly salary.”
“Just tell me whether it tastes good or not.”
"It's delicious. It's really delicious. It's a pity that I'm not as lucky as the captain. I couldn't get a spot to go to that outpost. I heard that you can eat there every day."
"Get out, that's not the case. You can eat it every day, it’s just cheaper.”
“.”
The six of them murmured quietly while patrolling, not worrying about any danger.
And this is also true.
Since the Radiant Beast has a certain IQ, the difficulty of guard patrols has become much lower than before.
In the past, we would encounter scenes surrounded by radiation beasts, but now we have not heard of them for a long time.
Some people even speculated.
If this continues, the beast tide that breaks out every few years may disappear just like it does now.
However, not every patrol is without accidents.
Just like now, a sudden gunshot interrupted the communication between the guards.
"Is there anyone?"
Roman, the patrol leader, trembled his eyelids and slowly pulled the rifle on his back to his chest.
The other guards did not panic at all, and the frequency of their steps did not change much.
In the past, when there were homeless people in the city, they would serve snacks when this happened.
Now since patrolling every day, they know exactly who will come on this street and what the situation is.
"It's probably another homeless man running over from somewhere. Let's go and see the situation."
The second shot rang out.
The team quickened their pace, just in time for the Radiant Beast to quickly evacuate.
A few guards wanted to end the shooting, but Captain Roman raised his hand to stop them.
Looking through the thin rain and fog towards the center of the street.
Two men and two women?
"Is this a homeless person?"
Roman's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was a little unsure of the identities of these people in the middle of the street.
If there were only four people, all male, then it might be a small team that had wandered here.
But with women mixed in, the average wanderer migration team is much larger than this.
And judging from the clothes of these four people, their style is not like those wanderers who have come from afar, but rather like...
The style that can often be seen in the Tianyuan Shelter Newcomer?
Thinking of this, the announcement he saw after leaving the outpost flashed through his mind, and Roman suddenly trembled and became excited.
“Quick, come over and take a look.”
"These people may be the newcomers that Yuan Shelter is looking for with a lot of money. Catch them. No, help them!"
"A person is worth 3 copper coins!"
One copper coin, Just enough for an adult to enjoy a full meal and a few craft beers at the outpost.
These four people.
“Sent!”
As the man among the four raised his hands, he moved forward slowly.
Although Roman was a little confused, he still verified his judgment again through the fog.
Yes, although the faces of these people are generally similar to those of Blue Star people, there are obvious differences in details.
It’s like a newbie at first sight!
"Dad, it seems they are from Blue Star, what should we do?"
"Throw away the spear, we surrender!"
If you meet players who are also survivors, you may be able to fight with your pistol and blood.
But I met the Blue Star people.
Countless past communication experiences published in World Chat have proven that taking action is definitely not the best option.
No matter whether you can sneak attack these loaded guards with pistols.
Now we are on the other side's territory. Even if we really win, where can we go?
"Yali, you take the children, and I will negotiate with them."
Between family and danger, Fan Fuzheng chose the latter without hesitation.
Secretly handing the pistol to his son Fan Jing.
Fan Fu was walking forward with his hands raised and as non-hostile as possible.
At this moment.
He could only use all the luck in his life to bet that the opponent would not attack when seeing an unarmed human being.
As long as there is no conflict at the first time, there will be further discussions.
"I have no ill intentions, I want to talk to you!"
Seeing the armed men with live ammunition suddenly quickened their pace and strode towards them.
Fan Fu was nervous and waved his hand quickly to indicate his purpose.
However, what is extremely surprising is that the other party has no intention of stopping at all, and the speed is actually faster.
Especially the person at the front.
Fan Fuzheng could already see the other party's expression clearly. It was a bit ferocious, as if he was smiling, and seemed to be very excited?
What's going on?
Could it be that these people are not normal Blue Star people, but some cannibal tribe?
I suddenly remembered a rumor I had seen on the World Chat Channel, and Fan Fuzheng turned pale with fright.
But before he could react, about five steps away, the man in front suddenly stopped.
A weird phrase came out of his mouth:
"Tianyuan?"
"Tianyuan?"
Fan Fuzheng was still thinking about how to survive from the opponent's hands, but he couldn't react immediately when he heard the word.
After about two seconds, he was startled, with surprise on his face:
"Are you from Tianyuan?"
I have long heard that some earth players have defected to He killed the people on earth and became the lackey of the Blue Star people to deceive their compatriots.
Could it be that God Su turned it around and conquered not only Earthlings but also many Blue Stars?
“I, you!”
The figure continued to spit out monosyllables, and the meaning expressed could not be connected at all.
However, sometimes it is not so necessary to use language to communicate between humans.
As long as the ideas on both sides can be connected, some gestures are enough to express the meaning. "You want me to follow you?"
Pointing behind the figure, he pointed at himself and his wife and children behind him.
Fan Fuzheng tried to ask.
The answer was yes. The other party almost nodded his head like a tumbler, and the excitement on his face became even more obvious.
“You.”
"Tian Yuan!"
The message conveyed this time is more obvious, and the other party obviously already knows his identity.
Could it be that this was someone arranged by Su Shen to prepare for danger if they did not teleport directly to the territory?
Fan Fuzheng was moved and excited for a moment, and quickly pointed to the rear.
“I’m with them.”
"Go together?"
"You guys!"
After receiving the other party's confirmation nod, Fan Fuzheng finally calmed down, turned around and ran back.
It is truly the ultimate road.
At this moment, the joy of surviving the disaster can no longer describe his current mood.
"Survived!"
"I really survived this time!"
After closely observing the defense team formed by Bi Lao Zhan, Fan Fuzheng had no doubt that this team was armed with live ammunition. soldiers' combat capabilities.
If the two sides really fight.
Without any precautions, it is possible for this small team to instantly kill the Taihu Territory.
And now.
“Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, this is a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple.”
“They are Lord Su’s people, that captain, wants to take us to Tianyuan territory! "
Pointing to the patrol team behind, Fan Fuzheng shouted loudly from a distance.
As the saying goes, survival requires more courage than seeking death.
When they saw Fan Fuzheng blocking the way alone, mother and son were already ready for a desperate fight.
However.
Now.
Everything is reversed!
Lord Su’s people, Tianyuan Territory!
Several longing nouns strung together are like a ray of sunshine emerging from the dark clouds.
Zheng Yali's legs and feet immediately went limp, and she almost fell to the ground if her son and daughter weren't holding her up.
"Quick, don't be stunned, hurry up and leave!"
"This city is too dangerous. It will be bad if those radioactive beasts come out again soon."
Right now It’s not time to share the joy of the aftermath.
Although protected by this team of guards, Fan Fuzheng did not think that the radiation beasts could break through the fire defense line.
But the devil knows what dangers there are hidden in this dilapidated city.
He went to Tianyuan Territory for the first time, and he didn’t want to bring an unmanageable mess there.
The best thing to do now is to leave quickly before the gunfire has attracted the attention of more monsters.
“Yes, leave quickly, leave quickly!”
The family reacted and didn't care about anything else.
The next reaction of the soldiers once again proved that their idea was indeed correct.
Although the opponent was well-equipped, they were more nervous than they were, turning their heads to look at the neighborhood from time to time.
Especially when encountering some human figures appearing in the mist, they will deliberately shuttle them away from the inside of the dilapidated building to avoid them in advance.
“The situation here is indeed complicated. No wonder Su Shen is unwilling to reveal the location of his territory.”
Fan Fuzheng observed and secretly recorded all the way.
Most people hear about the Blue Star people's city, and there is no further detailed recorded information at all.
Even if there are, those people will not be exposed for free on the World Channel.
So what we see now is refreshing the understanding of ordinary people almost every moment.
Strange plants, foul smells, collapsed buildings, and ferocious radiation beasts.
This strange Blue Star city almost satisfies all human fantasies about the ruins of human cities after disasters.
It looks magnificent and desolate.
I want to build a territory here to protect the safety of the people in the territory.
There were not many examples to substitute, so Fan Fuzheng could only bring in the Taihu territory and substitute it.
The results are very realistic.
If we only relied on the dozens of guards led by Lao Zhan, it would be a miracle if we could last a few nights.
This seems to be a place where humans live, but in fact it is a daunting ruin of civilization!
Finally.
After nervously walking through six or seven streets in a row, it took more than twenty minutes.
Between the buildings, an obvious underground building entrance attracted the attention of the four members of the Fan family.
"Could this be Su Shen's territory down here?"
It's a little different from what I imagined.
Although the entrance in front of you is more than four meters high, a huge gray-purple alloy door sits on the ground.
But Fan Fuzheng always felt that this thing was not even as large as the Sushen Shelter that he had seen on the Disaster Relief Channel more than a year ago.
But soon, he got the answer.
As expected, this was not Su Shen's territory. These soldiers brought them here just as a transit point.
Less than five minutes later, an armed pickup truck capable of carrying ten people drove out of the open alloy door.
“There is a car!”
It is painted in colorful colors, an impact shovel is installed on the head, and the windows and door panels have received special anti-impact treatment.
Since leaving the earth, it has been more than a year since I saw a vehicle.
For a moment, all four members of the Fan family felt excited.
“You guys.”
Captain Roman walked out with a smile and gave some clumsy gestures.
“I understand, I understand.”
Fan Fuzheng nodded quickly, opened the car door and sat in the second row with his family.
Compared to driving in dangerous city ruins, driving in a pickup truck with specially enhanced defenses is obviously more comfortable and safer!
The pickup truck started and shuttled through the streets.
Amidst the roar, a few radiation beasts were occasionally attracted, but the next second they were frightened and fled in all directions.
Looking at the scene of people moving backwards by the window.
“Dad, Su Shen’s territory is probably bigger than what we imagined yesterday.”
"Look at these tall buildings, my God, they must be at least sixty or seventy floors."
"Are the people in this city hiding underground?"
"This has already happened. We've been driving for more than ten kilometers, why haven't we seen Su Shen's territory yet?"
Fan Jing and Fan Han were lying by the window, talking without stopping.
Zheng Yali also had curiosity in her eyes, staring at the regressing buildings and surrounding scenes.
Compared with the unchanging ocean in the deep sea, and the desolate and inhabited plains in the New World.
Obviously this dilapidated city can make people truly feel the feeling of the wasteland.
Beyond this, a feeling of returning to civilization also came over me.
After all, for humans who are used to living in cities.
In a sense, this steel jungle lined with skyscrapers is their hometown!
