Chapter 365: Castle in the Sky



It is actually very cost-effective to spend one million in exchange for making yourself invisible for an hour.

Combined with blitzkrieg, it was a massacre.

Zhou Qiang quickly restrained the expression on his face. This could be considered a backup plan, and he was not going to tell anyone about it casually.

Even if the woman standing next to him at this moment was the one he had spent a night with.

But who can guarantee that a woman can keep this matter secret forever?

What's more, Zhou Qiang actually still had some doubts about Xue Yi.

After slowing down, the two men arrived at the outskirts of the city of gods around nightfall.

The aura of both people was suppressed very low, one was level five and the other was level four.

When they just arrived at the outskirts of the city of gods, both of them looked at the city wall in shock.

When Zhou Qiang left, the wall outside the holy city was still about 40 meters high, but now earth-shaking changes have taken place here.

The height of the wall is more than twice as high as before, almost like a cage curled up inward.

There were no patrol teams on the ground anymore. After all, anyone who came over had to think twice before climbing over vines of this height.

There are also fewer ordinary people around the city than before. I’m not sure whether they have been taken in, left, or if some other accidents have happened.

The photo of Zhou Qiang that was previously posted on the city wall had long been taken down, and even the gorgeous flowers that Zhou Qiang had seen before had disappeared.

The whole city was inexplicably filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, as if someone was preparing to do something.

Zhou Qiang became alert instantly.

There is still a long queue at the door. Even if you can't live there permanently, as long as you can find a way to get in and do some work, you will have food to eat every day.

The mental state of these people was even worse than when Zhou Qiang first came here. Although most of them had numb expressions in their eyes at that time, you could occasionally see some light in them.

But now when he looked over there, all Zhou Qiang saw was a dead scene.

After the two looked at each other, they both put on the same expression and stood at the end of the line.

Almost no one in the team spoke, and even if someone occasionally communicated, they would whisper into their companions' ears.

And it's the kind of sound that you can't hear even if you want to.

"The atmosphere is not right. Be careful when you go in later and don't get separated from me."

Zhou Qiang reminded him in a low voice and Xue Yi nodded.

The team moved forward slowly, and after an hour and a half, it was finally their turn.

At this moment, the clothes they were wearing had already been changed into tattered and dusty ones. Xue Yi's body could still be seen as a female, but there was a little mud on her face, making her look like a big tabby cat.

Zhou Qiang was similar. Compared to the relatively clean people around them, the two of them looked more like they had escaped from a refugee camp.

The guard at the door was still there, and the moment he saw them, he frowned.

"Where are you from? Why do you dare to approach the City of God without even dressing up?"

Zhou Qiang was stunned.

There was no such thing when he came here last time.

Seeing the other party's increasingly impatient expression, Zhou Qiang quickly grabbed Xue Yi's hand and began to apologize.

"I'm sorry, my wife and I came from the south. We encountered several accidents on the way. We lost our supplies and the car, so there is really nothing we can do."

Xue Yi raised his head and glanced at Zhou Qiang, who lied without blushing or beating his heart.

Does this man often say things like this?

Otherwise why are you so skilled?

Zhou Qiang didn't know that his words made the woman next to him think of him as a scumbag. He tried his best to tell her all the miserable things he could think of.

In short, I can no longer live, and I came here to find God to give me faith.

The guard at the door seemed to have heard this story many times, and there was no sign of easing on his face.

Finally, perhaps he was really impatient with what Zhou Qiang said, and suddenly pointed to the west side of the city.

"There are many important people in the city recently. Everyone entering the city must dress themselves up. Lord Mu Shen will not abandon you, so don't worry."

The information revealed by the guard successfully attracted the attention of two people. A big shot?

The two men looked at each other, and without staying, they walked in the direction the man pointed.

When they just came here, they actually noticed that there were indeed quite a few people walking in this direction, but at that time Zhou Qiang thought that a new refugee camp had been set up here.

But it doesn't look like that.

Moreover, most of these people were similar to them, their clothes were not very clean, and they were probably ordered to wash.

After walking for about a mile, we could see a large group of people gathered in front of us. Some were dressed as refugees, and some were obviously the gathering team of the Gods Society.

"Damn it, when will this kind of life end?!"

"What on earth did that brat named Zhou Qiang steal? Why is Lord Mu Shen making such a fuss?"

"that is!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. I heard that the people coming this time are from the City in the Sky. When have you ever heard of this city?"

"I don't know...but some of those people definitely have wings!"

"Keep your voices down. My brother-in-law's sister's husband works at the research institute. I heard him say that these people from Sky City are said to be from the north. It is said that the entire Lingnan area has been recovered, and they are here to help us!"

As this not-so-soft voice rang out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Lingnan in the north is a large mountain range, and a section of it does border Yuncheng, or in other words, that mountain range borders three large cities in total.

The city in the north they were talking about was Luoyang City. To the south of Luoyang City was another city, Qingcheng.

Both cities are surrounded by mountains and have many tourist attractions. They can be regarded as very famous commercial cities in the Eastern country.

Although the population there is slightly smaller than that of Yuncheng, it has almost reached the peak of a second-tier city, nearly 4.5 million people.

After the end of the world, before communications were completely cut off, the last news they saw about Lingnan was that creatures in the mountains and forests began to mutate on a large scale, and experts called on residents to enter air-raid shelters.

But it wasn't long before the zombie virus broke out on a large scale, and no one knew anything about that city afterwards.

However, whenever they thought of the huge beasts that appeared in groups on the streets outside when the report was first reported, everyone still felt a palpitation.

Most of the people in Yuncheng didn't actually suffer much. Wood God showed up early, and with the help of those scientific researchers, the city recovered much faster than expected.

However, Luoyang City had a completely hellish start.

The crowd's whispers became more frequent. Zhou Qiang looked at Xue Yi and raised his eyebrows.

Xue Yi frowned and shook his head.

"I don't know, I've never heard of anything like this before."

When she became the incarnation of the God of Wood, she actually spent most of her time in her family.

The Goddess of Wood does not have much energy to control everyone, so she usually chooses to control the strongest person in each family, and then these people begin to slowly erode the entire family.

Those who were too tough had already become guards.

The God of Wood really wants to build his own divine city.

In front of this large group of people was a pond. Xue Yi said that this place should have been built recently.

Those who were whispering became quiet the moment they approached the pool. As the number of people in front of them decreased, Zhou Qiang discovered that this place was actually guarded by several guards.

Is it necessary to go to this extent for a pool of water?

Zhou Qiang was very confused.

The color of the pond is a little bluish. It is nearly 50 square meters in size and the water surface is very calm.

You can even see the bottom of the water completely, it is extremely clear.

These dirty people went down in batches, nearly a hundred people at a time, and although these people were obviously covered in mud, they were not contaminated at all when they entered the pool.

After scrubbing quickly in the pool a few times, these people became exceptionally clean when they emerged from the water.

But I don’t know if it’s because these people haven’t washed for a long time or what, but it’s always easy to rub blood marks on their bodies.

Zhou Qiang narrowed his eyes.

He thought about the blood drawn when he entered the City of God. Was there any similarity between it and the situation before him?

These are all mandatory activities and everyone must participate.

If his guess was correct, there might be such a place in the inner city, and those nobles should also have this request.

Of course, the requirements may change a little.

Soon it was their turn. In silence, Zhou Qiang followed the crowd and jumped into the water.

The river water in autumn is actually very cold, but the moment Zhou Qiang jumped into the pool, he actually felt a sense of warmth.

This is actually a hot spring?

But there was no visible mist rising, and no smell of sulphur.

It looks like it is indeed man-made.

Apart from the initial warm feeling, I couldn't feel anything else.

There is even a warm feeling on the body.

If it weren't for the guards nearby watching this place quietly, I'm afraid many people would not want to leave.

Zhou Qiang lowered his head and carefully observed the water in the pool. Both the touch and the appearance of being held up were no different from normal water.

But it cannot be polluted.

He should be considered the slowest one among the more than one hundred people. Most of them had already reached the shore. He was even eager to dive to the bottom of the pool to take a look.

But in the end he gave up the idea.

After getting ashore, their clothes were not even wet.

It's amazing.

Following the large group of people, they headed towards the city gate again. This time, the two of them entered smoothly.

Of course, blood still needs to be drawn.

In order to cope with this situation, Zhou Qiang made himself a glove in the real world.

It feels no different from human skin, but some ordinary people's blood, purchased with money, is added inside.

Xue Yi also has one.

Tang Jianlong and others have it.

Judging from the situation, those guys may have to wait until later or tomorrow morning to come here.

Their mission objectives this time were separate. Zhou Qiang's mission objective was to enter the research institute and collect evidence of the institute's scientists conducting human experiments on ordinary people.

Xue Yi's goal is to find the true form of the Wood God.

That guy hid his true form from the beginning and was very vigilant.

After all, no matter how good earthworms and four-winged queen ants are at digging holes, they can't just dig randomly.

You must have a definite direction before you can take action.

What Tang Jianlong and his team have to do is to wait. After they have achieved their mission objectives, they will create chaos in the city. Then Tang Jianlong and Yang Yang will find a way to touch the body of the Wood God.

Zhou Qiang was not very worried that the Wood God would be burned to death directly. After all, there was still a difference of two levels between the two sides.

It was enough to hurt her.

The two of them pretended as if they were really entering this city for the first time. Zhou Qiang had already spent his one million yuan with great pain.

Next, he must activate this ability anytime and anywhere in this city.

However, it can be seen from the fact that no one has come to catch him yet that this ability is probably enough to allow him to dodge even the detection of the Wood God.

If you think about it this way, the one million is really worth it.

Zhou Qiang is spending money every minute and every second now, so this action must be quick and decisive.

The two men pretended to ask questions along the way, and then found the Assembly of the Gods.

They are not very interested in the people in the Sky City at the moment. After all, that is not their goal.

The last time Zhou Qiang came here, he saw that the Gods had issued a task regarding the research institute, but he was not very interested last time and did not remember it.

Xue Yi was in a confused state most of the time, so he was not clear about it.

There were a lot more people in the Gathering of the Gods than last time, and many of them had curious looks on their faces. They must have come here recently from other places.

The tasks on the sign scrolled much faster, and the most common one was a task called Redemption.

"Rewards will be given according to the number of people who are rescued outside the God's City."

The contents of most tasks are as described above, and some tasks even clearly mark where there are signs of human life.

But Zhou Qiang always felt that this behavior was as if the God of Wood suddenly became anxious and wanted to catch all the surrounding humans in one fell swoop.

After searching for a long time, the two finally found a task related to a scientific research institute. The reason why no one took this task was because the reward was extremely low.

"Help the research institute dispose of garbage for 12 hours. We need a power awakener, level 4 or above. Two bottles of nutrient solution will be awarded."

Most power awakeners have higher needs for food than ordinary people. People at level four have enough to do other jobs to earn food, and the food even tastes better than nutrient solution.
