Shiqiu had a stern face the whole time, and his gloomy eyes were always paying attention to the surroundings, looking at the shiny weapons placed at the border. These weapons were very different from the weapons popular in most mobile cities nowadays. They were of relatively ancient shapes and their usage was also very simple.
After all, they were developed based on the weapons of the 'Land of Hope', so it is impossible for them to be too advanced. However, the quantity is huge, countless at a glance. In the current situation of scarce resources, it is able to possess such a terrifying number of weapons. This 'Land of Hope' is probably much more powerful than they imagined.
They are very wary of weapons, and the Stone Ball has no intention of destroying their elite here before successfully entering Hope City.
Shiqiu slightly side-glanced at Beiji who had been sitting on the vehicle and had refused to show up. Only the Lord of Hope City knew about the "Land of Hope", and the information was basically passed down by word of mouth and hidden in a certain song, making it easy to remember.
But the Lord of Beiji City never kept the simple song in mind, so when he finally arrived here, he couldn't find the "land of hope" and finally fled in panic.
Shiqiu snorted coldly. He didn't care what happened to Hope City. Even if Hope City was destroyed, as long as he was alive, it was enough. At that time, he coaxed Beiji to escape with all the resources and useful talents, so that at least a talented person like him would not be annihilated in the destroyed city. But he never thought that Hope City could survive.
What good luck.
Mr. Ye issued a temporary ID card to everyone. This card allows them to move freely in Hope City and Angel City, but because it has a time limit, it needs to be verified regularly. Each card has location information, which is one of the security guarantees of Hope City.
After Ye Sheng confirmed that the map device could fully display the locations of these people, he said to the stone ball in the front: "You can go in. Please bring your ID card with you at all times when you enter the city. There is an information desk in the city. If you need any information, you can refer to the city information brochure we will give you."
Shiqiu held the exquisite ID card in his hand. Although the ID card was not big, it was actually quite heavy and was hung with a strap to prevent it from being lost. These things were very finely crafted, but nowadays no mobile city would spend the effort on such meaningless little things.
"Welcome all travelers to Hope City. I wish you can find satisfaction and happiness in Hope City." Ye Sheng's mechanical voice expressed his indifference to them.
Shiqiu snorted coldly and suddenly asked, "What's your name? Gatekeeper."
"I'm sorry, I'm not a gatekeeper, I'm a border guard." Ye Sheng raised his head with a cold expression, "My name is Ye Sheng."
Shiqiu took a deep look at Ye Sheng. This man was very strong and looked a little fat, but if you looked closely you would find that although he was fat, it was actually a layer of fat wrapped around the muscles. His steps were extremely steady and his expression was stern. He had the body of a perfect warrior and was very difficult to deal with.
It is not easy to train a warrior of this size, and it seems that the entire border defense is not just Ye Sheng. The others obviously have very strong abilities. However, these people who could be placed in the city to consolidate the city are all sent to the border to serve as cannon fodder. Shi Qiu has no idea what the new lord of the legendary City of Hope is thinking.
"You can go in." Shi Qiu heard Ye Sheng say it again. His voice was calm and he didn't seem to be angry because of his silence. He just said very calmly, "Thank you for your cooperation."
"Once we go in, you won't be able to control anything." The stone ball said maliciously in Ye Sheng's ear.
However, Ye Sheng's expression did not change from beginning to end: "My job is just to guard the security of the border. As for everything else after you enter, there will be someone to manage it."
"Oh?" Shiqiu sneered, "I'm a little curious about how long you can keep your stubbornness going."
The stone ball first crossed the border and entered the territory of Hope City, followed by a long dragon behind it.
Shi Qiu turned his back to the border and smiled slyly, hoping that the city lord would regret letting them in.
At this time, Bei Ji, who was sitting next to the stone ball, glanced at the stone ball quietly and said nothing.
When the entire convoy entered the area of Hope City, Shi Qiu suddenly said to Bei Ji beside him: "Lord City Lord, you should clearly understand why we came back here this time, right?"
Bei Ji lowered his head and looked at his delicate fingers, which were well-maintained under the resources that the city lord could enjoy. He quietly tightened his fingers and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
The huge team consisted of people who had followed Beiji in fleeing from Hope City. They were knowledgeable and capable, and were all outstanding among ordinary people. However, when they saw the endless farmland with thriving crops, they all let out exclamations of surprise.
"Why are the plants in the fields here growing so well? Are they improved varieties? Even if the soil and weather have an effect, they shouldn't be growing so well, right?"
"Hey, did you see that? That's... an agricultural machine! In this day and age, there are still people making agricultural machines? Aren't humans the most important labor force now? Why are we wasting resources making agricultural machines? What a waste! It's really too much of a waste! Even if there are a lot of resources in the Land of Hope, they shouldn't be used so casually. We have to come back, we have to come back, we can't tolerate them wasting resources anymore!"
"Hey... is it my imagination? Why do I feel that these farmers look particularly healthy? They seem to be fatter than me."
On the road to Hope City, everyone can feel the huge difference between Hope City and the Hope City of the past. The more they look, the more confused they feel. The despair that was once left here has completely disappeared. Even women who are obviously very fragile and have difficulty surviving now account for the majority here.
A word popped up in everyone's mind - the city is coming.
What use are those women who were once only used for childbearing? It is inefficient to let them work. What is the current ruler of Hope City thinking?
Shi Qiu frowned, he couldn't even tell who were the people in Hope City now. Just like Wei Qixuan said before, the ones left in Hope City were just the old, weak and sick people who were not worthy of his attention. There was no need to pay any attention to them.
At this time, there was a man in front holding a chess piece high, and suddenly he pointed a flag in a distant direction. He was going to guide their vehicles to park in another direction. From the field of vision of the stone ball, they could already see the parking lot in the distance, and there were more or less some very strange vehicles parked there.
Shiqiu glanced at Beiji. Beiji's expression was indifferent. He closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see anything anymore.
Shi Qiu's sneer was drowned out by the sound of the vehicles. He never stepped on the brakes to slow down, but instead crashed directly into the person in the middle of the road.
They are the masters of Hope City, the mayors of Hope City, and the upper buildings of Hope City. How dare these rubbish who once didn't even deserve to look at them have the guts to want to guide them? Even if they drive their cars randomly and crush vegetable fields in the city, no one should have any opinion about them!
At this time, the person waving the small flag was waving the flag in his hand frantically, and he shouted loudly: "Slow down, slow down! There are shopping areas ahead, and vehicles cannot enter casually. Stop, everyone stop quickly! No...no, turn left, left..."
However, the man noticed that the car didn't make any move to turn. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately jumped to the field beside to avoid being hit by the car. However, the stone ball suddenly accelerated, as if it wanted to hit the man to death.
At that moment, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the side and grabbed the guide's arm and pulled him over hard. The vehicle brushed past the guide's toes and even wiped off his shoes. The slight pain from the hit toes made the guide scream suddenly.
"Did you bump into him?" The man in black military uniform looked at the shocked man in confusion, "Let me see?"
"No... no, it's okay. I was bumped into suddenly and I was a little scared." The guide looked down at his black socks and moved his toes to make sure his feet were okay.
The patrolman looked at the vehicles driving past one after another in the middle of the road, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
No one can break the rules set by the city lord!
Shiqiu didn't even look at the rescued guide on the side, but just kept driving forward. There were many roads here, and it could be seen that they were formed after very careful planning. Such road planning was generally for city construction.
Does it mean that Hope City is really planning to build the city directly on the ground?
Shiqiu glanced at Beiji and found that Beiji was looking to the other side. Following Beiji's gaze, he was surprised to find that there were many buildings built on the ground in the distance. Each building looked just like the buildings in the city in the expansion pack. They were not tall, only two or three stories high, but they gave Shiqiu a great shock.
Shi Qiu withdrew his gaze, but suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of him. Shi Qiu was startled and subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
There were two people in front of his car. The soldiers in black uniforms stood on the left and right of his car. They did not show any fear. They were not afraid of being hit by the car at all. It seemed that stopping the car was just a trivial matter with the strength of the two of them.
Shiqiu thought he was crazy, how could he have such a strange idea? But when he saw the two men, his instinct made him stop. It was purely an instinct of fear, just like their instinctive fear of the nightmare beast.
"You're really crazy." Shiqiu raised the corner of his mouth, and a hint of scarlet flashed in his pupils. It was obvious that he was planning to restart the vehicle and hit it hard again.
"Don't be impulsive, Shiqiu." Beiji, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke. However, Beiji's tone was more like... fear rather than stopping.
Shiqiu noticed that Beiji was afraid. After seeing the two men in black uniforms, the cowardly young man was as scared as a rabbit seeing its natural enemy. Shiqiu felt furious.
"They are just ordinary soldiers in Hope City. What are you afraid of?" Shi Qiu's words made Bei Ji's body stiffen.
"What we are going to do doesn't need to be so radical. Everyone is innocent. Don't involve ordinary people casually." Bei Ji turned his eyes and said in a low voice.
Shiqiu snorted coldly, opened the car door, and got out. The tall and strong man stood in front of two ordinary patrolmen with his arms folded, looking down at them, and said, "Who are you? The one you are blocking is the mayor of Hope City. In Hope City, you actually have the guts to stop the mayor?"
At this time, the expressions of the two soldiers standing in front of them did not change at all, and they were not affected by the words of the stone ball at all.
"Get out of here!" Shiqiu shouted, "The Lord of Hope City is back! Everyone, show me your utmost respect and welcome the Lord's return! If I see anyone cheating, I will punish you to celebrate the Lord's safe return!"
Once a symbol of power and might, after arriving at the City of Hope, Stone Ball regained the feeling of being in absolute dominance. His voice was so loud that it even echoed loudly on the empty plains.
Although the two people in front of him were indifferent, Shiqiu could hear the gazes and whispers coming from all directions at this time.
Shiqiu smiled. He watched as several farmers huddled up in fear because of his voice. He, Shiqiu, had always been the leader of Hope City!
"The Lord of Hope City?" However, what followed was a wave of questioning voices, mostly from women. Many people looked up at the vehicle. The transparent shielding could not cover Bei Ji well, and Bei Ji's figure was immediately exposed to everyone's sight.
Bei Ji felt his whole body stiffen.
Seeing Shiqiu get off the car, the people in the cars behind him also got off and stood in a row. They were quite respectful, just like they were the people in Hope City who were checking on the disobedient residents of Hope City one by one.
The atmosphere became stiff as a result, and this stiffness directly contributed to the arrogance of the stone ball.
"Didn't the Lord of Hope City go out? Who is this person?" However, in the quiet atmosphere, a female voice broke the eerie silence.
Where there is one, there will be two. One of them raised a questioning voice, and confusion filled his face.
"Is that big guy saying he is the city lord? But he doesn't look like that? Is he saying that the man in the car is the city lord? Why do I think neither of them looks like him? Why do I feel that the city lord should be cuter and more eye-catching?"
"You said he was the former lord of Hope City? The one who abandoned the city and fled?"
Beiji's expression froze, and he suddenly looked up in the direction of the person who was speaking. There was a woman with a rosy complexion. She actually looked much better than Beiji. The woman was stunned by his gaze, but her first reaction was not to shrink because of his gaze, but to frown in suspicion.
"Since you are the former city lord, what are you doing back now? Are you trying to reap the fruits of others' hard work? You are indeed the one who escaped back then, how shameless." The sarcasm in the woman's eyes was obvious, and she even added, "Even if the city lord of my former Jianglin City is just an artificial intelligence, at least he has not given up on Jianglin City. How dare you, a guy who is worse than an artificial intelligence, come back and show off your power?"
"Looking at such a long team, I thought they were here to form an alliance, but now they are saying that we are welcome to come and rob you. What a lie!" At this time, someone even raised his hoe, "We are free, we only follow those we want to follow, we are not the people of the former Hope City who are afraid of you, this is our place, if you want to harm us, we will not sit and wait for death!"
Shiqiu suddenly glared at them with a fierce look. Among so many people, only a few spoke briefly. These were obviously the ignorant women who had come to the city.
"You are just a tool, yet you dare to act so arrogantly in front of the city lord." Shi Qiu sneered. They came in, and these ignorant people gave them a reason to establish their authority. He shouted loudly so that everyone could hear his voice, "Everyone, equip your weapons. Let all those who disrespect the city lord go to see King Yan!"
At the same time, the sound of metal collisions of countless weapons rang out. However, before the weapons were aimed at anyone, several black shadows suddenly rushed in from all directions. The people who were preparing to equip their weapons suddenly felt dizzy and had no idea what weapons they had in their hands.
However, at this moment, one of the two people who had not taken any action had already flashed in front of the stone ball, and before the stone ball could react, he punched the stone ball hard on the temple.
The tall man didn't even say a word before he was knocked down by the enormous force. He fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang.
At this time, the man in black military uniform handcuffed the stone ball tightly. He spoke, his voice was not loud but everyone could hear: "Since you have entered Hope City, you must abide by the laws of Hope City."
The whole environment was silent, and the man in black military uniform found his ID card from the stone ball.
"The suspect Shi Qiu has been arrested on suspicion of violating regulations, driving in a driving-prohibited zone, intentional homicide, hit-and-run, and reactionary speech." The man in military uniform stood up and said to the completely dumbfounded Beiji soldiers and those who attacked ordinary people, "All other suspects whose weapons have been taken away will be arrested for illegal possession of firearms. Since they are accomplices, they can be given a lighter sentence. Everyone please follow the law enforcement team. Those with a good attitude may be given a lighter sentence at our discretion."
After all the silence, there was suddenly a burst of applause and cheers from all around.
People in police uniforms were watching the show and making a noise. Shi Qiu had already been beaten unconscious.
The police officer said: "We will sentence you for beating an innocent person like this."
Patrolman: "He was very emotional at the time and was trying to incite his accomplices to attack our people. I was trying to protect myself, so I knocked him out in one go, which was a legitimate law enforcement measure."
"Hahaha." The police officer picked up the unconscious stone ball with one hand, "Got it, I'll take him to prison, you follow me back and take a statement."
However, before leaving, the police officer looked up at Bei Ji who was in the car.
Bei Ji's face suddenly turned pale.
"Is the person over there a person of interest?" The police officer stared at Beiji. Deep in Beiji's pupils, tiny bits of fear continued to gather, almost bursting out.
"They should be together, but he did not participate in the suspect's illegal activities." said the patrolman.
"That's fine." Then the police officer asked, "Why did you drive the vehicle into the city? Did you do it on purpose?"
"No, it wasn't intentional." At this time, a man staggered over from the car behind. He was a middle-aged man. He unconsciously opened his hands to protect Bei Ji who was in the car. "We just followed the car in front. We don't know anything."
"Really?" The police officer said with a half-smile, "Then please turn your car around and go to the parking lot you passed by before. The commercial area is ahead of here. There is a pedestrian passage in it, and vehicles are not allowed to enter."
"Yes, we will," the man said with a pale face.
The police officer tapped the car with his baton and said, "Why don't you park the car quickly?"
"Hey, right away." The man quickly went to the driver's seat, but his eyes were filled with undisguised fear, and he even had difficulty breathing because of it. He looked like he was about to collapse.
Bei Ji said nervously to the person next to him: "Uncle Zhou, we are fine."
"Hey, Young Master Beiji." The slightly frail middle-aged man tried hard to calm himself down, then he took a deep breath, and his hands gradually regained their stability.
The convoy began to enter the parking lot again. There were people at the entrance of the parking lot who were responsible for recording everything on the vehicles. Because they had to be left in the parking lot, there was no way of preventing items from being lost or mixed up. There was also special supervision and monitoring, so it was obvious that security was done very well.
When Bei Ji got off the car, Uncle Zhou was right next to him. Because Shi Qiu was locked up before he could really do anything, their current situation became very passive.
They all witnessed with their own eyes how powerful Hope City showed its military might in such a short period of time, and they were all very wary.
Uncle Zhou stood beside Bei Ji with a worried look on his face. He had seen the changes in Hope City, which was like a restart, while in the car. Now that they had entered the edge of the city, they could see quite a lot of people walking around. All of them had radiant faces, and they looked as if they were thoroughly enjoying their new life.
Bei Ji stood a little stiffly. He looked around and pursed his lips slightly, looking a little aggrieved. "Uncle Zhou, it seems that there are people who are so strong that they can knock out the stone ball with one punch. They are everywhere."
On their way to the commercial street, they saw patrol soldiers many times. These patrol soldiers seemed to be always around them, tall, strong and intimidating. They thought they were surveillance soldiers, but the people who passed by were different every time, because each of them looked extremely delicate, handsome and memorable, so it was difficult for people to think they were all the same person.
Uncle Zhou's face was bitter. The Hope City they saw when they looked up was no longer Hope City. It had been transformed into a completely unfamiliar city.
The soldiers of Beiji are protecting Beiji, but now all their attention is drawn to the reborn City of Hope. This is no longer a city they can understand.
Or rather...
In this apocalyptic age, is it possible to allow such a city to exist?
Their current appearance was really too strange. They wanted to protect Bei Ji, but they found that the people around them didn't seem to have any intention of even looking at Bei Ji. Instead, they just kept doing their own things.
No one cared about them, which made their defenses look extremely stupid.
Bei Ji had a complicated expression. He looked around and saw an old man setting up a stall.
At least from the looks of this old man, he already meets the criteria to be a member of the exploration team. Bei Ji lowered his head and picked up something from the old man's stall. It was a handlebar carved out of stone with a detailed pattern of a man and a beast. The old man's stall was full of similar things.
"What does this thing mean?" Bei Ji asked.
The old man who was dozing off suddenly woke up when he heard this question. "Holy Lord?" He had a lot to say!
However, when the old man looked up at Bei Ji, he was stunned.
"You...you are..." The old man's eyes widened, "City Lord?"
When Uncle Zhou heard someone calling Beiji the city lord, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you from Hope City?"
The old man's expression changed from shock at first to complicated, and then to calm. The old man stared at Bei Ji for a long time, and finally returned to the dozing sitting posture at the beginning, and said lazily: "If you want to know about my past, then it is not necessary, but if you want to know about the Holy Lord, I think I can tell you a lot."
This sentence made Uncle Zhou certain that the old man must have been from Hope City. He lowered his voice and asked, "Now the Lord of the City has returned to Hope City and plans to take over Hope City again and lead everyone to prosperity. Aren't you willing?"
However, the old man raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes at Uncle Zhou: "Butler Zhou, times have changed. The city lord is no longer the city lord of Hope City."
"Why not?" Uncle Zhou immediately defended Bei Ji, "We left you behind because we had no choice, but now we have returned here with countless resources to restore the glory of Hope City!"
"Resources? Resources." The old man looked to the side at this time.
Everyone pays careful attention to their surroundings. There are vast expanses of land where vegetables and even fruits are grown very successfully. There are also many places selling things on the streets. Everything here seems to have nothing to do with lack of resources.
This was a reality that required no explanation at all, and Beiji's face turned even paler.
"If you are an old man from Hope City and have been serving the City Lord, don't you have any loyalty at all?" Uncle Zhou asked seriously.
The old man picked up a piece of wood and carved slowly. Suddenly he said, "Butler Zhou, you should remember me."
Uncle Zhou was stunned. He stared at the old man carefully, trying to see something from his face. The almost forgotten memory came back to his mind, and Uncle Zhou suddenly remembered the old man's identity: "Are you the repairman of Hope City?"
Although the repairman sounds meaningless, in the end times where knowledge is not universal, the repairman is precious and important to the mobile city. However, the old man was too old, and he was naturally abandoned because of his dim eyesight.
"You didn't expect that I'm still alive." The old man is different from other people because he has knowledge. He can keep working until he can't work anymore. So now he is almost seventy years old. "Not only am I still alive, I even think I can live for a while. Lord Hefang can give me this opportunity, but Lord Beiji can't."
Beiji's expression therefore looked a little ferocious.
"Since you have chosen to be loyal to a master, you should always respect your master instead of betraying him just because you have better opportunities. What is the difference between your behavior and that of a traitor?" Uncle Zhou shouted, trying to make the old man surrender.
"Hey, I have been in Hope City since I was born, and there is only one city lord in Hope City. This is not my choice, but I have to do this." The old man leaned back in the chair freely, looking extremely relaxed. "And the first person to betray and abandon us was you, the Lord of Beiji City, right?"
"No, it's not like that." Bei Ji suddenly spoke. Unlike the people around him who always spoke, he seriously wanted to make it clear that he had not abandoned anyone at the beginning. "I tried my best to protect you. I would not let Hope City fall into war. I tried my best to make Hope City peaceful. I didn't want everyone to take risks. Even when Hope City was exhausted, I still wanted to bring Hope City to the 'Land of Hope' to find life. I didn't want to abandon you in the end, but I had no choice. I turned on the locator, and I let all the mobile cities that could pass by find you. I have done the best I could!"
The old man looked at the excited Beiji, listened to his words very carefully, and then sighed: "Maybe my words are harsh to you, Lord Beiji, but isn't it your incompetence that led to the defeat of Hope City?"
At this moment, Beiji's efforts and pride were trampled under the opponent's feet.
"As you said, you have done your best." The old man took out his mobile phone and searched for something. "All the available labor force has been picked up by other mobile cities, along with the resources of Hope City. In the end, only the old, weak, sick and disabled and a pile of skeletons are left. Your city, Hope City, no longer exists."
The old man handed the phone over. Uncle Zhou took the phone, took a look at it and his expression changed slightly, but he finally turned around and handed the phone to Beiji.
However, Beiji's already pale face turned even paler in an instant.
The photo on the phone showed the City of Hope reduced to a complete skeleton.
Bei Ji's body swayed, and Uncle Zhou beside him immediately supported him.
Bei Ji looked away, not wanting to look at the photos on the phone anymore. Uncle Zhou looked bitter and finally returned the phone.
The old man took the phone and said slowly: "Beiji City Lord, we hate you for abandoning us, but now we want to live a good life instead of hating you. Since you are abandoning us, please abandon us cleanly."
"Will the new city lord not abandon you?" Uncle Zhou was very distressed when he saw Beiji's condition. He retorted to the old man, "Once he falls into the situation of the then Beiji city lord, the new city lord will definitely make the same choice."
However, the old man smiled, sounding a little breathless. He raised his eyes and asked, "Butler Zhou, what are you talking about? Our new city lord has redeveloped the city from a place that was even more dilapidated than when you left it to what it is today."
The slender young man fled away from the old man's stall in a panic, but the old man just lowered his head and continued to carve the statue of the Holy Lord in his hand. He was old, and working in the fields was not good for his health, but he was still good at carving these things. At least the money he earned could allow him to have a good old age.
There's nothing much to achieve, but at least I'm happy.
Bei Ji actually never thought that he would return to Hope City again.
Abandoning Hope City was his last resort.
Bei Ji knew very well that he was not a powerful city lord. He was just the lord of the city passed down to him by his father. His cowardly character was probably inherited from his mother. He was afraid of war and disputes. He did not dare to compete with other cities for resources, and never dared to communicate with other cities. He had been fleeing with the entire Hope City.
It's not that he didn't love Hope City, but he really was powerless. No one could change Hope City at that time, no matter who it was.
He followed the stone ball's advice, took away all the valuable people, and opened up the positioning so that other cities could absorb more people from Hope City.
It's not like he hadn't thought about what the entire City of Hope would look like after being stripped away, but seeing that the city that was once so prosperous when his father was still alive had been completely stripped away to its skeleton, the strong stimulation at that moment almost made him breathless.
What should we do? How can we turn the situation around?
"What exactly did this man He Fang do to make Hope City rise again?" No matter how hard Bei Ji thought, he couldn't figure it out.
"Lord City Lord, it's because they can defend against the Nightmare Beast Seeds." Uncle Zhou was comforting the devastated Bei Ji. "As long as they can resist the Nightmare Beast Seeds, anyone can rebuild a city on flat ground at will. The real strength of He Fang is not because he has the ability to revive the city, but because they have a way to resist the Nightmare Beast Seeds!"
Bei Ji came to his senses vaguely, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the case. If he also had the ability to resist the Nightmare Beast seeds, then he could also make Hope City rise again.
so……
——You must bring back the secret of Hope City's defense against the Nightmare Beast Seed.
On the backlit throne, the cold emperor gave him orders.
The apocalypse continues until now, when everyone is struggling, Hope City has a way to defend against the Nightmare Seeds. Shouldn't it really tell everyone about this method?
Isn't it their job to take the apocalypse away from this world?
Why cover it all up?
He Fang is such a selfish person.
Uncle Zhou was beside Bei Ji, and he was surrounded by his people, but in fact nearly half of them had been taken away. Bei Ji felt extremely strange in the city where he was once most familiar.
"We don't have much time. The Lord of Beiji City, Wang will blame us." Uncle Zhou urged earnestly.
Bei Ji stood up again, put away the confusion on his face, and went into the interior of Hope City.
Since it is a city that recruits people, where can we store secrets?
Bei Ji thought carefully, looking at this City of Hope that had no connection with its past, and suddenly had a strange thought - they would not find what they wanted.
"Ah!" Suddenly a sound came from the side. Bei Ji looked and found that it was a running child who accidentally bumped into his guard. The guard, who had always been very arrogant, instinctively wanted to punish the blind child.
He raised his hand high, but his hand froze in the air because the patrolman in black uniform was looking at him with cold eyes not far away.
"I'm sorry, uncle." The child immediately apologized to the man when he saw that he had accidentally bumped into someone. If it was the former Hope City, knowing that he had bumped into someone he shouldn't have touched, he would have been so scared that he would have crawled on the ground with weak hands and feet. How could he have apologized so respectfully?
But this child had bright eyes and no fear on his face. He only felt a little guilty and ashamed. He had full trust in this safe place and he firmly believed that an apology would be useful.
"It's okay." The guard put his hand down because he was afraid of offending the patrolman.
"Are you the bodyguard uncle?" The child blinked, looked at the guard's clothes and asked.
"Yeah." Although he really didn't want to talk to a child, he had no choice now.
"Are you here to protect the city lord?" the child asked, tilting his head.
"Yes." It was indeed the city lord, but
