Chapter 299: Secret Plot
The situation in the country was getting better and better, and the national channels were flooded with information for several days afterwards, but some people still found news about their families from it.
At one time, many people were preparing to move and reunite with their families.
Lu Jiu and his friends were not aware of all this. After leaving the previous city-state, they continued to move forward and encountered two city-states where they could stay for one night. Fortunately, neither of them refused them accommodation.
But the city lord and residents here didn't say a word. They were also very self-conscious. After getting a place to stay, they stayed in the room and tried not to come out.
They continued like this without stopping, and then entered another country.
Things took a turn when they encountered the fifth city-state in the country. As long as they walked out of here, they would enter a sparsely populated country close to the edge of the country, close to the extreme cold.
This time, they packed their luggage and walked out of the hotel as usual. However, when they walked out of the city gate, they found that there were many people, all holding weapons, who seemed to be waiting for them.
The mayor of the city they met yesterday, a fat middle-aged man, was communicating with one of them.
Seeing them come out, the fat man didn't even look at them and left surrounded by NPCs.
As for the other residents, they all retreated back to the city-state.
Chen Cheng looked at the situation and felt that the other party had bad intentions.
However, he still maintained a calm expression and led the team forward. After reaching a certain distance, the team stopped and he went forward himself.
Shen Cheng held out his hand, "Are you all waiting for us specifically?"
The man in the lead had the tall stature typical of Xizhou people, with a bandit-like look on his face. He glanced at Shen Cheng's outstretched hand with a hint of contempt and ignored it.
He just said, "What are you Chinese monkeys doing in our territory?"
Lu Jiu raised his eyebrows. He turned out to be a racist. There was probably no way this would end peacefully today.
Shen Cheng's expression also became serious, "I believe someone has already said on your country's channel that we are going to the edge of the region."
The gangster snorted, looking at them all with wanton eyes, "Since we're going, why not bring a few more people along? We also want to see what's at the edge of the earth."
Although he said this, his tone was teasing. They didn't want to follow along, but they came here specifically to cause trouble for them.
The gangster man laughed along with his subordinates.
It has come to this, and the world is no longer what it used to be, so Chen Cheng no longer maintains the polite attitude of ignoring these people.
"Sorry, we don't let trash hold us back."
Lu Jiu quietly clenched her fists. Hey, this sounds really great. Shen Jufeng turned his head and saw that she couldn't hide the smile on her face, so he also smiled.
The gangster's face turned ugly. "You've come to our territory. Who knows if you're here to steal our resources? Since you came to our country without any passes, we have to expel you."
They are here to cause trouble. It's already this late, and they still need a pass. I'm afraid even these local people don't know the current situation in their capital. What's the use of having a pass?
Chen Cheng just turned his face slightly, and the soldiers behind him immediately understood what he meant. They all took out their weapons and pointed the black muzzles of their guns at the group of people.
The gangster unconsciously stepped back a little. People in their country are still very wary of guns.
Then he thought that the world is different now, and these Chinese people are still holding guns.
Although it is impossible to tell what specific type of gun it is, the weapons nowadays are mainly cold weapons.
The bandit men were not to be outdone and took out their weapons.
Lu Jiu glanced at Chen Cheng and saw him nod slightly. She didn't hesitate and quickly released the Ice Thousand Miles, freezing everyone except the bandit man.
The gangster-like man glanced at the people around him who were all frozen, and looked at Chen Cheng in shock.
He should have thought that if someone dared to come here from his own country, how could he not have some ability? "This is our country. If you kill someone, everyone here will find a way to drive you away!"
He is still making harsh remarks.
However, Chen Cheng really didn't want to do anything to them. This person was right. Even if the world had changed, they and these foreigners were still two countries.
They don't want to arouse the resentment of the residents here, even if these people provoke them first.
"We really don't have any intentions, but that doesn't mean we can let you bully us. We're all busy, so why don't we just focus on our own things instead of joining in the fun here?"
Chen Cheng looked deeply at the gangster man, and then the team followed him and left.
Lu Jiu looked back at the residents who were watching in the city. There was fear in their eyes, but no terror.

The fat city lord wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
Unexpectedly, this group of Chinese people did not kill Ulysses and his group. He had spent so much time and effort to lure Ulysses here.
The bandit, Ulysses, did whatever he wanted in several nearby city-states. The fat city lord had long disliked him but just couldn't find a chance to kill him.
Just then, a group of Chinese people came and he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but unfortunately the Chinese people did not cooperate.
If they killed Ulysses, they would not only solve a hidden danger on his side, but also use it to threaten these people and take them to the edge of the earth.
It's not just the Chinese who are curious about what's outside the Earth; people in other countries are the same.

After walking a distance, Lu Jiu asked Chen Cheng curiously: "Uncle Chen, although we didn't really hurt them, will they use this to slander us?"
Chen Cheng: "Don't worry, we are about to reach the last country before the extremely cold land. The population there is sparse. Even if that group of people wants to cause trouble, they will have to be really determined to chase us. Besides, although we don't cause trouble, we are not afraid of it."
Lu Jiu finally nodded, "No wonder I feel a little cold now, it turns out we are getting closer and closer to the extremely cold place."
Shen Jufeng immediately took out his coat and put it on her. "Then why don't we take an armored vehicle later? Since the population there is sparse, there probably won't be many wild monsters."
Their country, China, has a large population, so it's normal to have more wild monsters. However, the city-states they encountered now had a population of over one million, unlike their country, where a level four city-state had a population of at least three or four million.
Moreover, it seems that there was a dark period here at the beginning of the apocalypse. At that time, due to conflicts between people, the number of people who died at the hands of wild monsters was far less than that due to human fights.
However, these messages were only mentioned sporadically in the channel.
Chen Cheng felt the temperature around him getting lower and lower. "Then let's take a break and change into warm clothes. We'll all get on the armored vehicles and continue our journey."
Anyway, once you leave this country, you won’t know the news of the next country you are going to.
Everyone took advantage of this time to take out warm clothes and change into them, as it would only get colder later.
After the replacement was almost completed, one armored vehicle after another appeared on the flat ground. Everyone felt much warmer the moment they got on the vehicle. When the vehicle was manufactured, a temperature adjustment setting was added, just like the city-state protective shield.
