"Hope City is destroyed?" Min Zhizhou raised his voice in disbelief. "What's the reason? Was it infiltrated by nightmare beasts?"

He Fang was also staring at Zhao Wei. Although he only listened to other people's stories about the destruction of cities on the Internet, and when he saw the video, he only recorded the reasons for the destruction of the city so that his own city would not make the same mistake, and he was not triggered at all. However, in his own save files, He Fang was extremely concerned when he heard about the destruction of the city.

"No." The man took a deep breath. His voice was hoarse and weak, as if he would die at any moment. "Hope City no longer has the resources to move. The city lord took the last bit of resources and money and led all the upper echelons to flee."

These words were spoken lightly, but made He Fang's eyes widen.

"Escaped? Your city lord ran away?" He Fang simply couldn't believe what he heard.

"Hope City was already in danger. It was only supported by its cadres that it survived until now. Hope City became more and more fragile. The more fragile and cowardly the city lord became, the less resources he could compete for. Everyone was starving, and they had no strength or labor. Hope City could no longer move and finally stopped."

The man spoke long sentences for a long time, taking a breath after each sentence with deep despair.

"The city lord fled with the last of the resources. Now Hope City is just a huge empty shell. It has become a resource extraction warehouse for many small mobile cities. And now... I'm afraid no mobile city is willing to come to such a dangerous place for the resources of Hope City."

The Lord of Hope City was too weak and stupid to obtain resources from his competitors, so he led the huge Hope City into a dangerous ruin near the Nightmare Forest in a gamble for his life. However, he lost the gamble.

At the same time, there was no energy to restart the City of Hope, and the huge City of Hope collapsed.

"What about the people in the city?" He Fang asked impatiently.

"The city lord ran away with all the resources, and the remaining residents could only survive on the spot, guarding the remains of the huge city, waiting for other cities to come and absorb resources and population, and praying to be taken away by the new city."

The end of the world is cruel, and the population that any mobile city can absorb is extremely limited. It is impossible to take away all the residents of the entire huge City of Hope.

"Cities can annex each other, but the empty shell of Hope cannot be annexed. Other cities can only take away resources, Hope City's metal, capable residents, and children who can get started quickly. It is difficult for a city to expand its population so much at once." Zhao Wei leaned against the door, looking down at himself and stroking the cough syrup in his hand. "I am very old, my physical strength is not as good as before, and I am sick. I can't be accepted by other cities, but my daughter still has a future."

"You mean that Hope City has been plundered?" He Fang said in surprise, "Is the skeleton of Hope City still there? Aren't resources too scarce now? Won't the cities passing by greedily take away everything in Hope City?"

"It's too far here." The man shook his head slowly. His neck was so thin that it seemed like his head would break off if he shook it. "It's not feasible for a large mobile city to come to such a far place to take away metals that are not abundant. Small cities may use Hope City as supplies, but small cities cannot take Hope City away. Hope City is not worth it now."

Cities are not too close to each other. If they are too close, it will be difficult for both sides to obtain sufficient resources. Therefore, even if you want to covet the resources of Hope City, you have to consider whether it is worth coming all the way here.

A picture emerged in He Fang's mind: a beast that lost its food and eventually died of hunger in the desert. Its body was first eaten by a large beast passing by, and then the smaller predators stole the scraps of meat. The last bit was eaten by scavengers, and finally only an inedible skeleton was left.

Perhaps this is what Hope City is like now, waiting to be eaten up bit by bit.

"Hope City can no longer be moved, and its population cannot be absorbed by other cities. It's not optimistic. The people left in Hope City are probably waiting to die right here." Min Zhizhou said bluntly, "This place will sooner or later be found by the Nightmare Beast seeds, and then cover the entire city. Just in case, mobile cities will no longer be close to Hope City. The ultimate result can only be parasitism by the Nightmare Beast seeds, and then death."

Zhao Wei was the last gatekeeper standing in the city, but for the sake of his daughter he still took his family on the journey again. They did not want to die with Hope City, so they at least wanted to send his daughter to a bigger city.

He Fang recalled the girl's powerful voice that he heard at that time. The man in front of him was already sick and weak to a miserable state, but the girl was still in spirit. The dozen or so people who left with them probably loved the child very much.

"Where is Hope City and how many people are left now?" He Fang asked after pondering for a moment.

The man pointed his finger in a certain direction, took a few deep breaths and said, "There are still more than 10,000 people, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled."

He Fang: “?”

The man would not speak unless he heard anyone asking him a question.

He Fang was shocked: "How much did you say?"

"More than 10,000 people."

"More than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people?!" He Fang's eyes widened in shock. It was simply unbelievable. "So how many people are there in Hope City?"

"Before the city was destroyed, the population was probably around 130,000." Zhao Wei's eyes revealed some nostalgia.

"The Hope City I once visited has declined, but it still retains the skeleton of a medium-sized city. Even if the city is destroyed, there will be a lot of things left." Min Zhizhou sighed.

Everyone in Hefang was dumbfounded. In a city waiting to die, there were still more than 10,000 people. Even if they were old, weak, sick and disabled, 10,000 people could form a city even if they knocked down one brick a day, right?

"You 10,000 people are just waiting to die?" Chongying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "10,000 people can accomplish anything, right?"

Zhao Wei glanced at Chong Ying with cloudy eyes, but said nothing more.

Min Zhizhou refuted Chongying: "It is no longer a time when we can survive by just moving. The city is gone, and everyone who can move has left. Only people who have no ability to resist and cannot fight against the nightmare beasts are left. If these people move around, the first problem is food and resources. The second is that if one person becomes a nightmare beast, then such a huge group of nightmare beasts moving around will be a terrible scene. Have you ever thought about it?"

Chongying frowned.

"It's not that I don't want to leave, it's not that I don't want to live, but I can't leave, I can't live, and I can't leave this place which is at least far away from other mobile cities." Although Chong Ying found Min Zhizhou's words ridiculous, he couldn't refute them.

"So now everyone is just waiting to die here?" Chong Ying said.

Zhao Wei chuckled: "Now everyone has started to plant some remaining vegetables, fruits and melons on the spot. They are enjoying the last days of their lives. There is no need to work hard or flee. At least they can live the life of their dreams before they die."

He Fang rubbed his eyebrows, and then he felt like it was the end of the world.

The City of Hope has 10,000 people, but they are all old, weak and sick.

He Fang is a little entangled.

"We still have enough energy now. Let's go and take a look at Hope City." He Fang pondered and began to consider the possibility of absorbing 10,000 people. You know, he worked so hard to expand the land and rebuild the city, but now he only has less than 40,000 people. But there are 10,000 people in a destroyed city.

Although they are all old, weak and sick.

However, He Fang decided to see for himself how old, weak and sick the man was.

If the attribute values ​​are acceptable and there is potential for development, he will have more considerations.

"I have said everything I should and can say." Zhao Wei stretched out his skinny finger and pointed it at He Fang. "The reward is everything in the plastic bag behind you."

After Zhao Wei finished speaking, it was obvious that everyone was unhappy. Min Zhizhou lowered his voice and said, "This information alone is actually meaningless to us. The only useful information is the direction of the destruction of Hope City, but this can be known as long as we reach other cities. Do you think you have the qualifications to ask us for such a large reward?"

A hint of a smile appeared on Zhao Wei's skinny face: "Is it worth it or not? Is it up to you to decide?"

Zhao Wei knew very well that these people in front of him were very rich. In the plastic bag behind the boy, he saw a lot of things that he had never seen before, but he could recognize them as food at a glance.

He did not negotiate the price at first because he knew he had no capital. Now he asked for more only because he was always observing.

The young man's eyes were clear and bright, as if he had never experienced any shadow. Such a person was just like the mayor of Hope City who had been spoiled and knew nothing.

He casually gave him cough syrup, which showed a complete lack of understanding of value. This was generosity that could not exist in this world. He could not be a mercenary, but most likely a young master who went out to play in a large city under the protection of bodyguards.

People who have no worries about food and clothing will have more compassion than others.

And he wanted to use this sympathy to benefit his daughter's future.

"I need to give my daughter a better future. It doesn't matter if I die, or if we old bones die, but I want my daughter to go to a bigger city." Zhao Wei stared at He Fang intently, ignoring the angry gazes around him. He was determined to take advantage of the boy's gentleness, even if he was killed by his bodyguards for it.

I never expected...

Zhao Wei was very happy.

It's such a miserable life of his that he still meets such a person, someone who can be used.

"no."

He Fang's voice suddenly sounded.

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment, but he refused to give up: "You were the one who proposed the deal in the first place. Are you going to regret it now? You are a mercenary who keeps his promises."

"But I'm not a sucker." As a player, generally speaking, I won't let others cheat me willingly. All cheating NPCs will basically be killed by players, and He Fang is no exception. Although "Xu Wu Restart" should not have set conditions for killing, "Let me think, I'll give you three packs of compressed biscuits. They taste good. Guo Miaofeng gave them to me before."

As he spoke, He Fang took out three packs of compressed biscuits and a box of medicine from a huge plastic bag.

Min Zhizhou: “…”

After reading Zhao Wei's message, He Fang determined his condition, prescribed the right medicine, and placed it in front of Zhao Wei along with the compressed biscuits: "That's all we have, nothing else. You can't beat us, so I'll decide the price, okay? Min Zhizhou is right, you just pointed the way, and in our city, pointing the way is free!"

Zhao Wei lowered his head and put away the compressed biscuits. He knew that this thing was very suitable for long-term storage and was a food that could easily fill the stomach.

"I hope your daughter can live in a big city of her dreams." He Fang stood up, patted his armor to see if there was any dust on it, and prepared to leave. However, after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back and said, "I have memorized your location. If you dare to lie to me, I will come back... come back... I will come back and rob your house!"

Min Zhizhou: “…” Wow, what cruel words.

Min Zhizhou took a look at the house. It was originally a temporary house. Once there was enough food in the future, the wooden boards would be dismantled and taken away. There was no need to dismantle it specifically.

He Fang was thinking about Hope City when he suddenly noticed Min Zhizhou looking at him.

"What's wrong? You've been looking at me since just now!" He Fang looked up and scolded him unhappily.

Min Zhizhou: "...that's it, that cookie..."

"Min Zhizhou, shut up." Zhu Yan's voice suddenly came from my ears.

Min Zhizhou immediately changed the subject: "You took Guo Miaofeng's food, right? Is it delicious? Next time I will take turns eating with him."

"It's quite delicious. I recommend trying the original flavor. Those with other flavors are not as classic as the original." He Fang said and continued walking.

Min Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong, Zhu Yan?"

"Whether the information is worth giving away or not, the Creator knows it well and doesn't need you to remind him." Zhu Yan sat in the cabin and began to adjust the automatic pilot of the aircraft.

Min Zhizhou paused and looked at He Fang's back with a complicated expression.

Does their little city lord know that he has given too much?

Was he willing to be deceived?

Even if you don't say it, do you really sympathize with those people?

"As the ruler of a city, it's not good to be too soft-hearted." Min Zhizhou was a little worried. The city, which was like a paradise, was completely different from the distorted doomsday society outside. "Don't indulge his childishness and naivety."

This was the first time that Min Zhizhou expressed dissatisfaction with He Fang's actions. Zhu Yan did not refute Min Zhizhou's dissatisfaction. He just replied after a long time: "It is because of the naivety and innocence of the Creator that we are what we are today."

Min Zhizhou couldn't understand the people in the city's feelings towards He Fang. In the end, he just remained silent and continued to try not to get involved in the strange train of thought of these strange people.

After learning about the situation in Hope City, He Fang summarized several points.

Hope City should now have a rough outline.

Hope City has a population of 10,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people.

Hope City is now being planted on the site and likely already has a large farmland.

He Fang originally planned to set up a base station on this piece of grass, and then explore the surrounding area. If the conditions for building a city are met, he can consider building a new city here.

And now the City of Hope of the Destroyed City may be able to give him a level that is not built from scratch. It has a labor force of 10,000 people and a basic skeleton of a city. The old, weak, sick and disabled usually have a certain labor capacity but it is very low, but it is better than nothing.

And according to the description, not far at all.

He Fang wanted to see with his own eyes the extent of the destruction of Hope City and whether it was possible to rebuild it. If not, could he use Hope City's abandoned resources and population to provide himself with some foundation for building the city?

"Min Zhizhou." He Fang turned his chair to face Min Zhizhou, "How do cities know if the other has perished, and where they perished?"

"There is communication between cities. This method is used to determine the direction of cities, whether to trade and the location of transactions, and even some large cities annexing small cities or attacking them," said Min Zhizhou.

He Fang looked at Min Zhizhou with sparkling eyes.

Min Zhizhou's expression was subtle: "No more."

"How do you communicate?" He Fang asked.

"I don't know." Min Zhizhou looked at He Fang's eyes, which changed from inquiry to doubt to loss, and suddenly felt guilty. "This is information that only the city lord can know. Of course, people like us at the bottom don't know it."

"Ah..." He Fang was a little disappointed. It seemed that information-type NPCs were not so omnipotent. Seeing Min Zhizhou's pitiful expression for the first time, he immediately comforted him, "It's okay. You have helped us a lot. At least we know that there is communication between cities, which is very important."

Min Zhizhou's expression became more subtle: "You don't have to comfort me specifically."

"Oh... okay." He Fang glanced at Min Zhizhou quietly.

"There is communication between cities." Zhu Yan, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked, "So does that mean that all cities know each other's locations? If a city suddenly appears, it will be very eye-catching."

He Fang was stunned and suddenly looked at Zhu Yan.

Yes!

If his city suddenly appeared out of nowhere, according to the common rules of all cities, they would definitely find something unusual. As long as one city learned the secret of its own city, the information would be shared by all cities, and then all the survivors would be eyeing their own cities...

He Fang's scalp suddenly went numb.

"Hope City, this city really appeared at the perfect time." Zhu Yan half-squinted his eyes, "The Lord Mayor should also think so. As long as we use Hope City, we can have a quota for trading in the city without being too conspicuous to arouse suspicion."

"Yes, that's right!" He Fang immediately confirmed Zhu Yan's idea, "Let's go to Hope City first. If the conditions are met, I want Hope City!"

When Min Zhizhou heard He Fang casually express his desire for Hope City, he was startled and unconsciously pressed down his beast mask.

To conquer a city, even if it is a city alliance attacking a medium-sized city, it requires careful consideration, but He Fang can say this so easily.

The city lord is the city lord after all, and the nature that emanates from his bones is vastly different from theirs.

So this is why Zhu Yan didn't let him remind the city lord too much? Because it was totally unnecessary.

People who are too powerful can be compassionate.

Min Zhizhou suddenly felt that perhaps he was too narrow-minded.

He Fang had been looking at his own system map and found some strange marks detected in the distance. He frowned and said, "Stop."

"What's wrong?" Guo Miaofeng stopped the plane while carrying out He Fang's request.

"It seems like they are almost there. How come they are so close? Didn't they leave for a month?" He Fang asked with a frown.

"They were away for a month, not the entire month." Zhu Yan, who had been watching the scene through Min Zhizhou's eyes, said, "Since Zhao Wei said that the resources in the city were already very limited, it is not impossible for them to go out independently and find their own food. In addition, they did not have any means of transportation, so they probably could not have covered a long distance if they had relied entirely on walking."

"That's true." He Fang remembered that the plants in the fields next to Zhao Wei had already sprouted. Since they were sprouting plants, they might have been planted for some time.

"What did you find, Lord City Lord?" Zhu Yan asked at this time.

"Well, it's a very strange phenomenon. There are three or four people together, and then distributed at fixed intervals, as if in a circle." From the map of Hefang, you can clearly see the human icons. It doesn't look like a group, it looks like a small team.

"It should be the exploration team." Min Zhizhou spoke up at this time. "The exploration team is always at the outermost part of the city, using their bodies to contact the air. They are usually sent to the lowest level of the city or abandoned places. It is the city's most vulnerable first line of defense. If the members of the exploration team turn into nightmare beasts, it is enough to prove that they can no longer move forward."

"You mean, the mobile city uses human bodies to detect dangers?" Surprisingly, the person who was more shocked than He Fang was Kuni Miaofeng.

"Yes." Min Zhizhou looked away.

"But Nightmare Beasts need experienced people to identify them. How can we judge that the people in the detection team have turned into Nightmare Beasts?" Zhu Yan asked, tilting his head slightly. "There should be some method, right?"

"There are detectors buried in the bodies of the detection team members. Once they detect that they are parasitic, the detectors in the detection team members will explode directly, and finally turn them into corpses that cannot move. In this way... they will not be able to transform into nightmare beasts." Min Zhizhou, who had always appeared very calm, now showed a rare expression of reluctance.

He Fang looked at Min Zhizhou at this moment, and the keyword "detection team" was suddenly triggered in his mind. He remembered that in the information of NPC Min Zhizhou, there was the setting of his parents. Min Zhizhou's parents exchanged Min Zhizhou for the equipment that enabled him to successfully become a mercenary in the beginning by joining the detection team. In other words...

"There are such inhumane practices..." Guo Miaofeng tried to say something but was interrupted by He Fang.

"Are they usually in groups of three?" He Fang asked.

"Usually it is a combination of a gatekeeper and two detection teams. The gatekeeper will be at a certain distance from the detection team to ensure that he will not be parasitized by the nightmare beast seeds, and can issue danger reports to the mobile city more accurately and immediately." Min Zhizhou said slowly.

"That should be it." He Fang looked at the icon on the system map. "Although we can fly directly down, it is better to make contact. Our current goal is to explore Hope City. After the exploration is successful, we will return to the city first. We need to make long-term plans for the construction of a new city."

If Hope City can really be used directly, He Fang will of course have to re-plan it according to the current scale of Hope City. The most important thing is to isolate Hope City from the Nightmare Seeds first, and to build defensive buildings to defend against Nightmare Beast attacks. These are all considerable expenses.

He Fang is also thinking about whether Hope City should be developed as the main urban area outside or as a random secondary city. There are too many things to consider and we cannot rush into anything.

He Fang reached out and pulled at the armor on his body. It was actually quite comfortable to wear, and it seemed to have the function of regulating body temperature. It still felt a little cold outside, probably because of the cloudy day, but his hands and feet were very warm.

After getting off the plane, He Fang turned around and said, "So we're going there now?"

"Yes." Zhu Yan nodded.

At the same time, Chong Xiao stood behind He Fang, protecting He Fang very safely like a loyal bodyguard who did his best. However, He Fang looked up at Chong Xiao and met his eyes.

He Fang's shadow was reflected in Chong Xiao's dark pupils, very seriously, as if his eyes could only hold He Fang.

But at this moment Chong Ying could clearly see that his brother's brain had stopped thinking since he made eye contact with the Creator. He now looked "affectionate", "steady", "gentle and protective", but in fact, his soul had already left his body.

Chong Ying gritted his teeth anxiously. He was so scared after being looked at by the Creator. What will happen to him? What will happen to him? !

Chongying stood quietly behind Chongxiao, pinched the flesh on Chongxiao's waist hard and made a super big spin.

Chong Xiao was startled by the kneading and kneading attack by his own brother, but at least his brain came back to its senses a little. The wind blew quietly, bringing a hint of coolness to Chong Xiao's very neatly shaved short hair. His deep pupils were still looking in the same direction, without any movement.

Chongying was so angry that he almost died. Speak up! You stupid brother! Speak up! Ask the Creator carefully if he needs anything. He can help with anything and is willing to be loyal to the Creator!

But Chong Ying, who knew Chong Xiao to the extreme, knew that his brother probably couldn't utter a word at this moment.

He had no choice but to find ways to have a friendly exchange with the Creator on behalf of his brother.

However, he had very sharp hearing and heard He Fang muttering to himself: "It really looks like a nightmare beast."

Chongying: “?”

"Chong Xiao, you stay here and protect Zhu Yan. Guo Miaofeng, come with me." He Fang thought of how Zhao Wei, who was in a small group at the time, was unable to tell whether Chong Xiao was a nightmare beast or not.

He Fang had seen the Nightmare Beast only once, and his greatest impression was that there was no highlight in the Nightmare Beast's eyes. They were lifeless and did not look like the eyes of a living person. They were eyes very similar to those of a dead person. Although Chong Xiao's eyes were very beautiful and matched his cold and handsome temperament very well, he had to admit that Chong Xiao's eyes did look a bit gloomy and dead.

I didn't notice it before because I was used to it, but now when I look closely, I am very sure that this is just a standard pair of eyes without highlights.

"Okay, City Lord." Guo Miaofeng got off the plane, but the moment his feet just touched the ground, he felt a huge danger coming from the front.

Guo Miaofeng's whole body was stiff. He didn't dare to move, for fear that if he wasn't careful, the people in front of him would start to kill him.

Guo Miaofeng didn't know what he had done to offend Chongxiao, but he also knew that it was impossible for him to fight against Chongxiao with his own fighting power. As the strongest man in the city, Chongxiao was definitely a terrifying person who could kill him in one move.

Guo Miaofeng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, raised his head and said to Chong Xiao in the most serious and rigorous manner: "Please rest assured, I will use my life, no, everything I have to protect the safety of the city lord. Although my brain is not very smart, my physical strength is still good. At least in a critical moment, I will definitely be able to take the city lord to escape, I..."

However, before Guo Miaofeng could finish his words, Chong Xiao had already passed by him and returned to the plane. Before closing the door, he stared at Guo Miaofeng with his dark eyes, and it looked like he wanted to tear him into pieces.

Guo Miaofeng smiled bitterly: "Hey, maybe Chongxiao doesn't trust me."

Chongying looked at Dasha in front of him, and helplessly mourned for his brother with a unique look in his eyes. He secretly said in his heart: Don't worry, my dear brother, I will definitely take full-scale photos of every perfect movement of the Creator and send them to you for your collection! Don't be discouraged!

Guo Miaofeng's stature is about the same as Min Zhizhou's. When standing next to Guo Miaofeng, Min Zhizhou inexplicably felt that he would not suffer a loss if he lost to such a person. He still has a psychological trauma from the fact that he could not beat a weak girl and was almost killed by her.

"Minister Guo." Min Zhizhou and Guo Miaofeng were still somewhat estranged.

"Call me Guo Miaofeng. It's not very convenient to call me by that title when there are other people around. By the way, Lord City Lord, what should we call you usually? If we call you Lord City Lord directly, will it arouse suspicion among others?" Guo Miaofeng suddenly noticed the change in the title.

"Call me He Fang." He Fang did not name his character, so he just used his real name.

"Okay, He... um..." Suddenly Guo Miaofeng's mouth was covered by Min Zhizhou. Min Zhizhou really expressed strong affirmation of the IQ of the Minister of Land and Resources. It takes a natural talent to be so stupid. Didn't he realize that he was almost seen through by others now?

"Let's call him deputy captain." Min Zhizhou suggested, "Since Guo Miaofeng is the captain, you, the city lord, are naturally the deputy captain."

"That's fine." He Fang didn't say anything.

The four-man team set out, and at this time Chongying quietly approached Guo Miaofeng and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "When we get back, let Zhuyan make some drugs that can help your brain develop again. Every time I see you doing stupid and evil things, I really want to smash your head open and stuff your IQ in!"

"...I'm sorry." Guo Miaofeng actually felt a little aggrieved. He vaguely realized that he might have done something that made others unhappy, but his IQ was not high enough to figure it out. Not only did he feel aggrieved, he also felt very depressed.

He Fang saw the detection team from a long distance, and the detection team soon saw them.

All the old weapons were pointed at them. Guo Miaofeng blocked He Fang, while Chongying noticed that these weapons were too old and even had scratches all over them. They must have been used many times and were even on the verge of being scrapped.

Min Zhizhou stopped far away, and everyone stopped. At such a close distance, both sides could see the emotions in each other's eyes.

He Fang and his group took off their helmets, and Min Zhizhou showed them their weapons to fight the Nightmare Beast.

Chong Ying was already a little impatient. What he hated most was when someone used dangerous weapons against their fragile Creator. Chong Ying stared at the ignorant gatekeeper, his still young face full of dissatisfaction.

He Fang took the initiative to step forward, opened his arms and said, "We are mercenaries."

The gatekeeper narrowed his eyes and observed the four people, up and down, and finally Chongying could not help it. Even his brother did not dare to look at the Creator so presumptuously, how dare these NPCs who did not even have names!

"It's a mercenary! I never thought that we would have to receive mercenaries again!" Just when He Fang thought that the gatekeeper's attitude would be as bad as Zhao Wei's, contrary to his usual behavior, the thin gatekeeper's eyes were full of surprise.

He Fang was stunned.

The elderly gatekeeper came forward excitedly and shook hands with Min Zhizhou: "It's not easy, mercenary, we welcome you very much!"

Chongying's eyes widened.

"Come on, come on, come in quickly, mercenary." He Fang stared at the thin gatekeeper as he led them towards the city. The gatekeeper, who was skinny due to years of hunger, was muttering something.

"I'm sorry, mercenary. We may not be able to exchange any supplies for you, but you can take everything here."

"I'm sorry, mercenary, we may not be able to provide you with a delicious meal, but we have fresh wild vegetables that you may like."

"Mercenary, to celebrate your arrival, I thought maybe we could kill the hen that the city lord couldn't take away."

The gatekeeper led the way in front, chattering happily, his tone filled with joy. He Fang secretly glanced at the other party's attribute panel.

His attribute panel is not particularly good, and he is very hungry and very fragile, but he has high endurance and is a very patient person. However, although he calls himself a goalkeeper, He Fang did not see the same goalkeeper label as Zhao Wei.

He is not a gatekeeper.

He is just an ordinary resident who temporarily replaces the gatekeeper.

"Are you happy that the mercenary is here?" He Fang felt the other party's extremely enthusiastic attitude and couldn't help asking the chattering fake gatekeeper, "You look really happy."

"Yes, I am very happy." The fake gatekeeper turned around and gave them a very satisfied smile, "Because we have received another mercenary. We are not dead, we are still alive! And we may continue to live!"

He Fang blinked, looked at the fake gatekeeper who was striding forward, and walked forward to walk side by side with him: "You are very young."

"Of course, I have a strong working capacity."

"Then why weren't you picked up by the passing mobile city?"

"Hehe, because I'm not strong enough." The fake gatekeeper looked very happy and treated them very kindly. He Fang could feel the word "open-minded" from the words and deeds of this NPC.

Because they are no longer afraid of death, unlike Zhao Wei who is always on guard, they calmly accept everything that will happen, so they are more optimistic?

He Fang suddenly asked: "Can our arrival bring any benefit to you?"

"Of course, mercenary, I hope you can spread the news that Hope City still exists, so that our families working hard in other cities can rest assured." The fake gatekeeper raised his head and looked around, "Look, mercenary, that's our Hope City."

He Fang looked in the direction the fake gatekeeper pointed, his eyes gradually widened, and absolute shock instantly overwhelmed him.
