"Whoa!"

If Li Yu hadn't been quick enough to grab Xiao Hei and stuff a piece of exotic beast meat into its mouth, this glutton would probably have rushed over to eat grass right now.

As the group slowly entered the city streets, a dazzling array of goods and various shops appeared on both sides of the road.

The locals of Qingcheng who were inside the building all came out and stood on the side of the street.

They pointed and gestured at the newcomers as if they were selecting merchandise.

You should know that not just anyone is qualified to enter Qingcheng.

This is true even when there is a labor shortage.

All people from outside the city must first undergo Qingcheng's strict screening process. Only those who meet the standards can be qualified to enter Qingcheng and participate in professional activities such as industrial manufacturing.

Ordinary migrants outside the city could only work hard mining underground, barely managing to earn enough to eat with Qingcheng's meager wages.

These people who worked hard mining were not even qualified to enter Qingcheng.

The fact that so many people entered the city at once inevitably aroused the curiosity of the locals of Qingcheng.

Behind the group leader, the migrants who had just entered the city were constantly looking at the various public facilities placed around them.

However, what is most eye-catching is not just the clean streets and shops, but the steel behemoth parked not far in front of everyone—the tank.

"It's a tank!"

Wang Qinshui's voice trembled slightly.

He knew it was the war machine of the old world, but he never imagined he would see it in real life.

Wang Qinshui was filled with doubt and uncertainty. Even as an Awakened One, she was not powerful enough to ignore tanks.

Wang Lijian, who was standing to the side, stared intently at the tank, speechless with surprise.

"The tank is so big!" a young man in the safe zone stammered.

Based solely on the book, he thought it was only slightly larger than a car, never imagining it would be so enormous.

“After all, it’s a war machine from the old world,” the older man beside him replied slowly.

People in the safe zone felt a sense of awe when they saw tanks from books appear before their eyes.

However, the refugees behind them remained indifferent when they saw the tanks.

Even though they knew the name of the tank, they were still mostly curious.

The refugees didn't think this iron contraption called a tank was anything special.

Upon seeing the tank, Ma Yuanbai, looking surprised, broke away from the refugees and walked over to examine it closely.

He even tried to reach out and touch it, but was stopped by soldiers in front of the tank.

"The tanks are real! They're not just for show!" Ma Yuanbai couldn't help but shout wildly in his heart, but on the surface he appeared calm.

"No wonder it's a city with a flag." Ma Yuanbai muttered to himself, looking at the green flag printed on the tank.

He grew up in the shelter and naturally knew the meaning of the green flag.

Now it seems that Qingcheng is far more powerful than he thought.

It was at least more powerful than any of the shelters he had seen.

Li Yu kept an eye on the tank while tightly holding onto Xiao Hei's reins.

If he relaxes his guard even slightly, this gluttonous creature will deliberately stray off course and head back towards the green plants.

"tank..."

Listening to the constant discussions around him, Li Yu's gaze also fell on the steel behemoth, which seemed to have a cannon mounted in front of it.

"This thing...it really looks scary."

Fu Xiyao's gaze had already been deeply drawn to the flower shop next door. Although the flowers inside were artificial, she had never seen anything so beautiful and exquisite.

Just as everyone was stunned by the tank, the team leader standing next to it suddenly stopped smiling and said to everyone with a serious expression:

"This tank is for the safety of Qingcheng, not for dealing with you."

"But if anyone dares to break the law, don't blame us for being impolite!"

The team leader's words were clearly meant for the awakened ones in the crowd, since there was no need to deploy tanks to deal with ordinary people.

Although Awakened Ones are powerful, they are not invincible. Even with the strongest abilities, they will eventually run out of energy.

With the threat of tanks, the Awakened will likely be more obedient.

"jingle."

A clear and melodious sound rang out on the street ahead.

"Look, it's a bicycle! I knew I'd seen it at the shelter!" a refugee shouted excitedly, pointing.

On the road ahead, residents of Qingcheng were constantly passing by in various vehicles.

Amidst the constant exclamations and shouts of those around her, Li Yu finally understood the difference between bicycles, motorcycles, and cars.

Listening to the sputtering sound coming from the road, Li Yu recalled the people who had helped them drive away the giant wolf pack. The iron horses they were riding must have been motorcycles.

The team leader sent someone to block the road and led the group to continue walking forward.

Li Yu kept observing the soldiers around him. Although he was supposed to be escorting them, it looked more like he was closely monitoring them.

Looking back in the direction they came from, they found that soldiers were also blocking their retreat.

He couldn't help but wonder if Ma Yuanbai was trying to scam him.

After all, they're now almost deep into the heart of someone else's territory.

Now, it's probably completely impossible for me to leave.

"Take a look, have a look!"

A loud sound suddenly came from the street corner ahead, attracting everyone's attention.

A figure stood in front of a nice shop, waving a tattered sign.
