Looking down from the sky, it is an endless green ocean, with green plants undulating like waves.
Inside and outside Radiant City, the plants seemed to have been meticulously cleared, standing out starkly against the lush greenery.
This glorious city is not very large. According to the Blood Maiden, the inner city was once a small county town with a population of about 100,000.
After a year of arduous renovation, the inner city now boasts towering and thick walls, resembling a giant standing guard over everything within the city.
The buildings are densely packed together, arranged in a staggered yet orderly fashion. Although they bear the marks of time, they still allow one to imagine their former prosperity.
Logically speaking, it should be able to accommodate 100,000 people before the apocalypse.
With the addition of many new buildings, the city can now accommodate at least tens of thousands more people.
If you squeeze in, it could easily house 300,000 to 400,000 people.
Surprisingly, the inner city now has only 80,000 official residents.
It's easy to imagine how extravagant the lives of those in the inner city's management were.
The so-called outer city was actually just outside the city walls, where many shacks were built along the walls.
These shacks are scattered haphazardly, mostly pieced together from simple materials, and look dilapidated.
However, this place is better than the shacks at the Donghu base.
At least it can barely provide shelter from the wind and rain.
This is enough to show that the supplies in Radiant City are indeed much more abundant than those in Cave Lake Base back then.
Moreover, each person's shack was much larger, and the shacks were not as closely connected as those at the Donghu base, appearing rather loose.
The shantytown, which houses more than 60,000 people, is the outer city. It stretches for a long time and covers an area even larger than the inner city.
From a distance, it does look rather magnificent.
However, the city walls were used to separate the inner and outer cities, and the outer city was so loosely constructed.
Jiang Wu couldn't help but wonder: What should we do if zombies attack?
With this question in mind, Jiang Wu and his two companions rode the giant bird and leisurely circled around in the sky for a while.
We finally discovered the reason.
There are no densely populated villages or towns within a radius of at least thirty kilometers.
Instead, there are cliffs, steep slopes, mountains, and hills everywhere.
Hidden among the mountains, the glorious city is difficult to find by hordes of zombies.
Even if they are unfortunately discovered, they can use these continuous mountain ranges to gradually wear down the zombies.
This Radiant City has an excellent geographical location.
When external pressure decreases, internal friction may actually increase.
It's no wonder that Radiant City uses walls to separate the inner and outer city; this is not to prevent zombies, but to prevent people from the outer city from entering.
After the apocalypse, each power base had its own rules of operation, which made Jiang Wu very curious about how Radiant City operated.
After landing in a secluded spot, Jiang Wu let the two giant birds stay nearby and play.
He led Su Ziyu and Ning Chuxia slowly toward Glory City.
Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of those around them.
There was no way around it; Jiang Wu and the other two had just too unique auras.
Su Ziyu, in particular, looks extremely pure and beautiful, like a figure in a painting.
Although Ning Chuxia was also wearing sunglasses, her exposed facial features and face shape still revealed that she was an extremely beautiful woman.
Moreover, her long, straight, glossy black hair, like black silk, paired with her flawless, pale skin, was stunningly beautiful.
These two stunning beauties were rare even before the apocalypse.
Moreover, this is a world that has been in apocalypse for more than a year.
However, the giant blades on their backs and the uniform level-three crocodile skin trench coats they wore made them look like they were not to be trifled with.
This also makes people wonder about their origins.
As Jiang Wu and his two companions drew closer, the atmosphere around them grew increasingly tense.
Some people stayed far away.
Some of the bolder people began to slowly approach, trying to find out their intentions.
A rather attractive young woman approached Jiang Wu first, smiling, and said, "Brother, are you from the inner city? Or is this your first time visiting Glory City? I've never seen such outstanding people as you and these two beautiful ladies before! Is there anything I can help you with?"
Jiang Wu glanced at the woman and casually asked as he walked, "This is my first time here, what kind of help can you offer?"
When the woman heard that it was her first time here, her eyes lit up instantly. She smiled and said, "Brother, my name is Wang Ziqi. I'm a long-time resident of Glory City! I know a lot about Glory City. Feel free to ask me anything. Glory City is very big and has many rules. Without an old resident like me to explain things, it would cause a lot of trouble."
Jiang Wu looked around as he asked, "So you're acting as a guide? What price do I need to pay?"
Wang Ziqi laughed and said, "One or two meters an hour is fine, brother. If it's less than an hour, it'll be counted as an hour."
At this point, she glanced at Su Ziyu and Ning Chuxia and whispered, "Big brother, besides guiding services, I can also provide massage and other services."
Jiang Wu glanced at Wang Ziqi with a half-smile and said, "You've got some nerve. Aren't you afraid I'll take you to a secluded place and kill you? It's been so long since the apocalypse, I've killed quite a few people."
Wang Ziqi's face stiffened. She swallowed hard and said cautiously, "Brother, this is your first time in Radiant City. You may not know our rules. The Blood Maiden of the Inner City said that anyone who dares to kill indiscriminately in Radiant City will be fed alive to the zombies if caught. With this rule set by the Blood Maiden, no one dares to kill indiscriminately now. Many people have witnessed me accompanying you..."
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "The Blood Maiden? Does she have a high reputation among you?"
Upon hearing Jiang Wu mention Lady Blood, Wang Ziqi revealed an admiring look and said earnestly, "Lady Blood is the most powerful evolver in our Radiant City. Before she and her Blood Guards came to Radiant City, the city was in chaos, and we people in the outer city suffered greatly. But when Lady Blood arrived, she not only forced the adults in the inner city to open their granaries and distribute food, but also eradicated the worst forces."
Looking at the giant blade on Jiang Wu's back, Wang Ziqi said proudly, "Big brother, this is your first time in Radiant City, so you may not know, but Lady Blood Maiden is definitely the most powerful evolver. She is invincible! Moreover, she has twelve Blood Guards under her command, each of whom is extremely powerful."
"She also owns a giant yellow bird that can carry several people in the sky. Most importantly, she can control zombies. Those level-two agility zombies and level-two strength zombies that are invulnerable to blades and bullets are more obedient than anything else under her control."
Jiang Wu was taken aback. The Blood Woman had actually revealed her ability to control zombies. Wasn't she afraid of causing panic?
He asked curiously, "She can control zombies, aren't you afraid?"
