Chapter 398 White Star City
As the black curtain dissipated, the messy scene outside was revealed. The large area of land nearby was as jagged as broken biscuits scattered on the ground.
It must have been caused by the force released by the black screen transfer attack. By the way, even the collapsed building in front was shaken away.
The ruins of the fallen floating city should have been nearby, but now they have been cleared away. At least they cannot be seen within the gray fog.
Several other armored vehicles have also disappeared, and the nearby ruins have been razed to the ground!
This kind of fluctuation will occur when the stronger the strength is, the more suppressed it will be by the power of the world, which shows the combat power of both parties participating in the war.
This is an existence that can destroy cities in the aftermath of a battle even in this world where the world suppresses it!
This may also be the reason why the major families in the Floating City will not directly quarrel with each other in the Floating City. It is equivalent to each having its own nuclear deterrent.
No matter how powerful a family is, the gathering of will power must be slowly accumulated and gathered by countless ordinary pioneers and aborigines of the world fragments. If there are serious casualties, the mature system that was originally operating may collapse immediately. This loss It's more than they can bear.
Sun Guangyao, who had removed the shady curtain, turned into a black shadow again and condensed in place.
Tao Yu felt that the other party must have some special bloodline.
"Huh? I didn't realize it before. You use the power of shadow well. You have a good sense."
As soon as Sun Guangyao came back, he glanced at Tao Yu and seemed to feel the residual shadow aura on his body after the demonization and transfer.
"How's the situation?"
Sun Guanghui asked his third brother.
"Second brother is the third oldest member of the Guandi family. He has some tricks up his sleeve when it comes to running away."
Sun Guangyao spat.
"Old Mu? Haha, he has been expelled from the family for decades. He is colluding with the followers of the evil god and is a shady thing."
Sun Guanghui seemed to know who Sun Guangyao was talking about.
Although Tao Yu only heard some of it casually, he could guess a rough idea. Maybe this old guy had colluded with the followers of the evil god before and was expelled from the Guandi family.
It's just that 80% of them are still working for the Guandi family.
After Pavas took over the teleportation device, although Tao Yu didn't know what had changed in the floating city, the conflict between the Sun family and the Guandi family had almost become clear, and Pavas would also be added to it. The Engel family of Wass.
The Sun family's strength must be completely dominant, and they may have already dealt some blow to them.
But the same opponent will also adopt their own methods, and the Sun family has to consider other forces secretly.
Similar to bringing in non-direct allies like the Pavas family, it is actually a means for the Sun family to win over other families.
Only by dividing interests into groups and forming a bundle of interests can we more easily deal with various problems and risks.
It's just that some families are greedy and are not satisfied with the status quo.
In fact, sometimes the confrontation between these forces is so plain and simple.
"Let's do this for now. Go back and pull off some of their black gloves. Since we have said that it has nothing to do with their family, don't blame us for breaking the tacit understanding."
"learn."
The gray mist giant summoned by the other party never appeared, and I don't know if it did but was solved by Sun Guangyao.
And now there is only this deformed armored vehicle left that was dented by Tao Yu's collision, but fortunately the overall structure is still there and it can still be driven.
The deformed armor was carefully pulled back by the little rich woman using telekinesis, but obvious marks on it could still be seen.
In the car, Sun Shiqing clicked her tongue and said into Tao Yu's ear
"It's incredible. I said before that you would catch up with me quickly, but you have already surpassed me. It's a bit exaggerated."
Tao Yu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. What this kid said was too exaggerated.
Just talking about some special attacks, Tao Yu actually thought that he was very superior, and his single-point damage exceeded them.
But if you want to face Sun Shiyu and Sun Shiqing, you still have to lose more. The all-round coverage of telekinesis can restrain yourself to a certain extent, but the ultimate output of the opponent is inferior to yourself.
To cause large-scale destruction of the little rich woman, you can directly rely on her weapons to shoot, but when facing the evil god believers like before, you need to fuse and kill them.
If Sun Shiqing could control it for a longer time, they might be able to solve this problem together, but in actual combat, the slightest difference can make a huge difference.
"It's similar to Shattered Void's application, and it's more powerful against points."
The little rich woman has already practiced the Cihang Sword Code. Although Sun Shiqing is lazy, she is relatively familiar with the internal strength and is now transforming towards the Cihang Sword Code.
It’s just that without the help of Tao Yu’s immortal essence, I haven’t gotten started yet.
It was surprising to hurt the enemy this time, but after they knew something about the Shattered Void, they wouldn't find it incomprehensible.
Tao Yu's point attack is strong, and she relies on the combination of inherent time control and the sword of the soul to achieve such an effect.
At least for now, except for Sun Guanghui at the scene, others seemed to only notice the destructive power of the Yin Yang Five Elements Divine Thunder.
"Even so, it's already quite remarkable."
Sun Shiqing patted Tao Yu's shoulder and said with some emotion
"You don't have the support of your family."
Tao Yu didn't answer. There was support from the rich woman...
And Treya next to her couldn't hide the shocked expression on Tao Yu's face at this moment. It was too strong!
I thought it was an exaggeration for the opponent to defeat Qian Hao with a single strike from his domain, but he never expected that he was so powerful.
The powerful enemy that the eldest lady could not defeat was beaten half to death by him!
Even if this does not prove that his strength is greater than that of the young lady and the young master, it is enough to prove that his ultimate destructive power at a certain point is incredible.
The moment the seven-colored light appeared, Treya's spiritual sense disappeared out of thin air, and she could only feel a sense of beauty...
As for the other cargo carriers in the car who were protected by Treya, they didn’t have much of an opinion.
The gap in strength is too far. If the aftermath is blown away, what else is there to know? Just be strong...
The rest of the journey was undoubtedly much smoother, but the road conditions were not good and the driving speed was very slow. It took five or six hours to walk more than 200 kilometers.
I left early in the morning and arrived in the afternoon...
…
"Is this the state capital? This... are they directly on the verge of gray fog?"
After getting off the armored vehicle for inspection into the city, Tao Yu also saw the scene ahead.
There was no city wall, but a spacious river blocked in front of them. The water flow did not seem to be fast. Just looking at the river water gave people a faint sense of peace of mind, and it seemed to have a blocking effect on the gray fog.
The increasingly dense fog near the river and behind it have completely different manifestations.
And on this approximately 40-meter-wide moat, there are suspension bridges raised high on both sides. It seems that the bridge deck will not be lowered if it does not pass inspection.
Looking over, there are some old buildings on the other side of the river, which look quite dated, like those old and shabby buildings in a village in the city.
But compared to the patchwork shantytowns in the outer city of Xingyao City, they are much more standardized.
Judging from the structure of Xingyao City, the opposite side just across the river should be similar to the outer city area.
It's just that Baixing City, the capital of Baixing State, has a moat that can resist gray fog monsters, making their outer city relatively stable and peaceful. Beyond the bridge entering the city, there were two other convoys.
Maybe it's because other neighboring cities don't want to spend the night in the fog, so it's actually normal to arrive at this time in the afternoon.
However, the two convoys did not have such heavy armored vehicles. On one side were three military jeeps similar to Humvees with machine guns on them, and on the other side were several pickup trucks.
All the cars have some traces of welding and steel plates on the outside. They all look a bit heavy and have some foul-smelling blood stains.
Although the people on both sides of the convoy looked rough and fierce, they all huddled aside when facing Tao Yu and the others. Even though Tao Yu and the others were coming later, they also moved out of the way to let Tao Yu and the others undergo inspection first.
Maybe they didn't know the Sun family, but at least they could tell the difference between the cars on both sides.
Many people looked at the armored vehicle that had been repaired after being dented by Tao Yu, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces, wondering what had happened to Tao Yu and the others.
"Our city network in Baixing Prefecture is quite complete. You can usually reach the next city within a day's journey. However, the only close connection we have with other states is Tiannan Prefecture. It only takes one day to pass through Xingnan City. If you can reach the northern cities of Tiannan Prefecture, you have to spend the night in the fog, which greatly increases the risk. "
Sun Shiqing whispered some information to Tao Yu.
"The main thing now is to wait for them to come over and check on the evil god's followers. They'll be there soon."
"Is it easy to check the followers of the evil god?"
“It’s easy to contaminate deep levels, but it’s hard to say what’s going on at the surface level, but that’s all we can do.”
Sun Shiqing's words also made Tao Yu nod. The outer city area of Xingyao was almost undefended, while White Star City was much more formal.
The inspection method is also very simple. They have a searchlight that turns the dirty blood of the armored vehicle blue when it shines on it. The same principle should be the same for the followers of the evil god.
There were people in other convoys nearby who had contaminated blood stains on their bodies, and they were asked to take them off or rinse them off.
This kind of lanterns and pottery jade is also somewhat impressive. There are actually quite a few at the gate of the inner city of Xingyao.
They checked very carefully. After taking a picture of the person and finding out everything was fine, they mainly checked the inside of the car, including the bottom of the car, the engine box and even the fuel tank.
Behind every strange behavior, there must be some corresponding reasons. There may have been followers of the evil god sneaking into the fuel tank before.
"Welcome to White Star City. This is your temporary pass. You must go to the office to renew it within one day before it expires, otherwise you will be in trouble."
After the inspection was completed, the security team member handed each of them a card.
It's just a piece of hard-shell paper with a stamp and a date written on it. It should be something stamped uniformly. It can stay for one month.
But later I also wrote about some ways to obtain long-term residency qualifications in White Star City.
Tao Yu scanned it and found that the residency qualifications were actually very simple.
After all, in today's world, people themselves are a resource.
For those who can cross the gray fog, it is relatively easy to stay.
It's easy to just stay, but it's still difficult for most outsiders to survive in a place where they have no friends, at least it's harder than in their hometown.
Click, click, click~
The bridge decks on both sides slowly lowered, and finally made a duang sound.
Continuing to get in the car and drive towards the city, Tao Yu also opened the shooting window and looked outside.
Although the ground is not very good, it can be considered a cement road. It is worse than the inner city of Xingyao, but it is much better than the outer city.
However, it can be seen that there should be cars occasionally coming and going here. Although many stalls are placed on the road, they still leave a middle road.
There were many stall holders with cheerful faces nearby. After seeing the appearance of the heavy armored vehicles here from a distance, they quickly moved their stalls away, as if they were afraid of offending.
At least judging from the situation of these people, although the living environment is much better, their status should not be much different from that of the people from the outer city of Xingyao.
If you want to get ahead, you have to work hard to have children, and those with high talents can change your destiny.
After crossing the bridge, we didn't drive very far. At the third street corner after entering the city, we turned around and walked in. We came to a small factory-like warehouse, which was only a few hundred square meters.
"We're going to get the things, and you can go to where you're staying first."
After stopping the car and getting out of the car, Sun Shiyu said to Tao Yu and Treya.
"no problem."
Tao Yu nodded, and then watched the armored vehicle heading towards the city, bringing up black exhaust gas.
On the way, Tao Yu learned that this was the Sun family's office in Baixing City.
Although it looks simple and a bit inconsistent with the status of the Sun family, it is also a bit helpless.
Because this also means that this is just an 'office' and has no intention of extending its tentacles.
The company has tried to settle in White Star City several times, but it has suffered various losses due to various 'inexplicable' reasons.
Now simplify it and turn it into family offices, which will relatively reduce a lot of trouble.
The Twelve Star Families and even a few inner-city families will have several people here on a long-term basis.
"Miss Treya, Master Tao, you two come with me, and I will take you to your residence."
A man who looked to be in his thirties came to Tao Yu and Treya attentively.
At that time, those porters will serve as office personnel to make up for the loss of people here, and maintain long-term liaison work with the new development area.
But Tao Yu and Treya obviously have completely different statuses, and Treya will directly become the top manager of the office.
However, after experiencing the attack on the road, Treya's attitude towards Tao Yu changed obviously.
After being asked here, she first looked at Tao Yu, and when she saw that he had no objection, she nodded and signaled him to lead the way.
"Little Chufa, I have been here for three years. If you two have any questions, you can ask me."
Chufa leads the way. There is a three-story building next to the factory, which is also the place rented by the office.
The rooms for both of them are on the third floor. They are relatively spacious single rooms with fully equipped bathrooms and toilets. They are probably the best rooms in the office. They are similar to a two-bedroom suite. Each room shares the hall, kitchen and bathroom. .
Others would have to live in the dormitories downstairs or even in Datongbu.
After taking a look at the room, Tao Yu felt very satisfied, except that the room was larger than the one he rented in the inner city.
Tao Yu, who is used to living a hard life, will naturally not mind.
On the other hand, Treya frowned slightly, but after looking at Tao Yu, she didn't say much.
"Is there anything you need to pay attention to in White Star City? Has anything big happened recently?"
Tao Yu immediately asked some questions about relevant intelligence. When he first arrived, he couldn't just make some taboos casually.
"There aren't many things we need to pay attention to where we live..."
Chu Fa smiled and began to explain to the two of them in detail...
