Destroyed city
Chapter 57
Mu Zhong also thought of this, and listened to Wei Huan's rare explanation: "Regular inspections, with such a high frequency, this is not a supply point, but a death trap."
"really."
Mu nodded. Their cars could ignore these sand scorpions, but in fact, most of the cars were only level two at the current stage.
If you encounter a monster like this, you need to fight hard to kill it. If this is the only way to enter the supply point, it is better not to go in.
Perhaps it was the noise of the battle that awakened the sleeping monsters.
Gradually, sand scorpions emerged from under the sand dunes as far as the eye could see.
There were seven or eight of them, big and small, at a glance.
"This is too abnormal. With such a high density of monsters, this place hasn't been cleared for at least half a month."
Mu Zhong's brows furrowed in thought. "Did the supply point get destroyed?"
Wei Huan seemed to be lost in thought. "Go and see for yourself."
He ordered the intelligent butler: "Keep going forward."
In addition, two portals appeared on both sides of the car, and he summoned four Shuromas out.
After being promoted to the second-level undead, Shuroma, who was also 4 meters tall, came out with full of fighting spirit, scattered and rushed towards the sand scorpion.
With their four claws flying, they leaped high and landed on the sand scorpion's back. They grabbed the sand scorpion's two pincers and tail hook with their six arms and pulled hard.
With a power of over 140, these terrifying-looking sand scorpions were torn into pieces with ease.
Building Rome is like two armies facing each other. The general charging into the battle is mighty and murderous.
After killing one quickly and efficiently, he rushed towards the second one. It was silent and powerful, and its body was not only ferocious, but also strong and solid, with a heroic look.
“Wow wow wow!”
Liu Chengzhi pressed his face against the windshield and drooled.
This was the first time he saw Shuroma, whether alive or undead.
As a four-star dark beast, Xuroma was born with the temperament of a god of war.
Men are most unable to resist such strength and they wish they could ride on it and charge into the fight together.
Smart Butler: “…”
He stopped the arrow tower's pre-launch mode, controlled the vehicle, and drove slowly behind Xiu Luoma.
Shuroma was running in front with all four claws, and all the stray monsters hiding under the gravel nearby were awakened and turned out one by one.
But whether it is the sand scorpion, the sand snake, or the desert lizard with environmental mimicry, they are far from being Shuroma's opponent.
Not only are they powerful, but the desert monsters' most proud poison is also powerless against them. It's a completely one-sided massacre!
We went all the way to the depths of the oasis, killing people along the way and dropping a lot of materials.
But I didn't see any treasure chests.
After leaving the stage, there are not so many treasure chests on the roadside, and you need extremely high luck to pick up one.
On the other hand, the number of treasure chests in various ruins will increase, and together with the treasure ruins marked on the treasure map, it can make up for the regret that there are no treasure chests on the road.
With this setting, you can also see the difference between the racing stage and non-racing stage roads.
One focuses on exploration and adventure, and the other focuses on survival + development + speed.
In this way, after walking for about ten kilometers, we could see a stone wall in the distance.
The yellow city wall blends into the sand, and at first glance, there is almost nothing unusual. Until you look closely, you will find that the city wall is not only high, but also has watchtowers on it.
It's like the territory of a second-level monster lord.
However, on the city wall, the flag of Daxia was flying. This was obviously different from the one built by the Monster Lord, as it was a fortification built by humans.
"Is there still a city wall?" Liu Chengzhi rubbed his eyes in surprise. Compared with the one next to him who was reborn, had a family background in learning, and was expected by his grandmother to be a playboy with no future, Liu Chengzhi seemed much more naive.
Mu Zhong laughed when he heard this and said, "In such an environment, if we don't build fortifications, how will the people in the oasis survive?"
"Are there many people in the oasis? Aren't there only officials?"
Mu Zhong said, "Of course there are a lot. Some are stopping here to reorganize, some are slowly developing, or some are just trying to find a way out on the secondary highway. It's not surprising to see a city with one or two thousand people. This is just the district level. With national and world-class highways, the city will be even larger. Currently, the Qianfeng City in Daxia has a permanent population of three million."
Liu Chengzhi was speechless for a moment, already imagining the grandeur of the million-person city.
It was filled with challengers, all in Level 4 vehicles. The Level 4 professionals and their teammates walked along the road, never dismounting, their armor and saddles saddled. They came and went in a hurry. If they occasionally had a moment of leisure, they would enjoy a drink. How unrestrained and delightful it was!
When he came to his senses again, the car had arrived near the city wall. The horn sounded "beep beep", but apart from attracting the stray monsters nearby so that Shuroma could kill them happily, no human figure appeared on the city wall.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong looked at each other with a bad expression.
Wei Huan suggested: "Shout in the chat room."
Mu Zhong didn't want to reveal his whereabouts for the time being, so he thought for a moment, looked at Liu Chengzhi, and asked, "Is your system repaired?"
"Fixed it, fixed it."
Liu Chengzhi couldn't sleep at all last night. He felt uneasy when he thought about how he slept while his boss had to keep watch. So he barely slept until 3:30 and couldn't fall asleep anymore.
When he woke up, he saw Boss Wei dozing off, so he tiptoed out of the cab and went to the underground garage.
He was not completely stupid. He knew that when he would officially become a driver depended on when he could repair his own car.
The car doesn't need to be completely repaired, just restore the car system first.
As he was looking at the broken car at a loss, the intelligent butler asked him: "The captain asked me to ask you, is there anything I can help you with?"
Liu Chengzhi was so moved that he burst into tears. With the help of the smart housekeeper, his system was reconnected to the internet in no time.
In fact, he has been looking forward to starting this topic since then.
Liu Chengzhi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "The housekeeper helped me fix it last night."
Housekeeper sister?
Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows. He just felt that there were more men than women in the car, so he chose a gentle female voice.
If you choose "old male voice", wouldn't you have to call the butler grandpa?
Mu Zhong suppressed his laughter and said to the butler, "Butler, confirm that Liu Chengzhi is in the car."
Smart Butler confirms: "Are you sure Liu Chengzhi is getting on the bus?"
"Confirmed." Mu Zhong replied. Wei Huan gave him all the authority, including the right to impeach the train captain.
Liu Chengzhi's scalp was bursting, he watched eagerly, holding his breath and waiting.
The intelligent butler finally said, "I have sent an invitation to Liu Chengzhi..."
"Agree! I agree!!" Liu Chengzhi agreed without waiting for him to finish speaking.
The smart butler said calmly: "Driver Liu Chengzhi has completed the boarding verification."
When Liu Chengzhi heard this, his mouth drooped and he cried with excitement.
It's actually quite awkward to see a tough guy crying, but Liu Chengzhi's true nature is also heartwarming.
Mu Zhong patted his arm to comfort him and issued his first official order: "Log into your account, hide your information, and shout a few words to the city."
"Yeah." Liu Chengzhi wiped away his tears, as if he had received an important task, and patted his chest to promise, "I will definitely complete it, Boss Mu!"
“…”That’s not necessary.
Liu Chengzhi slid the projection screen on the windshield with his hands trembling with excitement, and the part he operated was directly logged into his account.
Just opening it, I saw that the chat room in area 1006 had exploded from 1,891 people at the beginning to 3,006 people in just half an hour, which was an increase of more than a thousand people.
The chat room was extremely lively.
[Brother Wei Huan, look here. I came online just to see you.]
[Ahhh! District 1006 has a big boss, I'm so proud!]
[This is the first time I'm proud of not daring to challenge level three. I'm one of the first veterans to join Wei Huan and Mu Zhong, right?]
[Come to 13903.19345! This is the largest and safest safe zone in Area 1006. I'll slaughter a pig and a cow for you to eat.]
! ?
The three people in the car were stunned for a moment before they reacted.
Mu Zhong asked, "So the outside world has already received the news?"
Wei Huan thought: "After passing the challenge, it should appear on the app."
Liu Chengzhi: "Then... my task?" He was anxious. I just received the task, it was new and hot, should I still do it?
"Yes." Mu Zhong said, "Ask about the situation at this supply point."
Liu Chengzhi organized his sentences and spoke.
Liu Chengzhi: I want to go to the 10321.1233 supply point to wait for my idol. Is that okay with you?
In the chat messages that were scrolling up rapidly, Liu Chengzhi asked the question for the third time before he saw anyone answer him.
[10321.1233, if I remember correctly, is Supply Point 3. It's already abandoned, isn't it? Hey, haven't you been here lately? Supply Point 3 is under siege by monsters. Don't go to dangerous places to chase your idol.]
Then someone talked about supply point No. 3.
[Poor thing, not a single person escaped from Supply Point 3. The guards held out until the last man was killed. A squad was left with only one person. Now that a month has passed, I'm afraid their status as challengers has been revoked.]
[I hope Wei Huan sees this message and doesn't go to supply point 3.]
"Why not? Isn't he very strong? People out there call him the Scourge of the Undead. Wouldn't it be better for him to clear out the monsters besieging the city?"
[Does he owe anyone this? How shameless! Actually, we all owe him! If there weren't level 5 vehicles, would you still be here being so sarcastic?]
Who's being sarcastic? I just think he's capable of stopping by to clean it up, so what? If he doesn't want to, then don't ask. No one's forcing him.
Seeing this, Liu Chengzhi gritted his teeth in anger: "Why is this guy so annoying? Is this a suggestion? It's simply that his choice of words is so weird!"
Mu Zhong smiled and asked him, "What do you think of the atmosphere over there?"
Liu Chengzhi was very proud: "It's great that no one said such sour words."
Mu Zhong asked him again, "Why?"
Liu Chengzhi couldn't stop talking: "The boss is strong, the boss has a good heart, and the boss is fair and just. Not only did he distribute equipment on the primary roads, he also sold equipment at a discount on the second-level roads. Moreover, the boss is so powerful, but he never bullied the weak. He impressed us with his actions."
Mu Zhong glanced at Wei Huan and smiled.
Wei Huan felt a little embarrassed to be praised in person, so he turned around and sat in the main driver's seat, pushing himself into the driver's seat.
If you can't see it, it won't be embarrassing.
Mu Zhong waited until Wei Huan was out of sight before he said to Liu Chengzhi, "You can describe him in such detail because you understand him, and because you understand him, you respect him.
Those who make random guesses based on their subjective ideas without understanding something are not only superficial but also stupid.
What's the point of arguing with a fool?"
Mu Zhong's words were venomous, but Liu Chengzhi felt relieved after hearing them. He nodded and said, "Yes, there are some idiots in this world. It's a waste of your time to get angry with him."
The two of them complained a little more, and it happened that the chat room was talking about supply point No. 3.
There's still someone at Supply Point 3. My friend said his friend, who's at Supply Point 3, logged in a few days ago. His beacon is still there, so he should still be alive.
If you don't return to the Challenge World for a month, you lose your Challenger status. Re-testing is no easier than surviving ten days in this environment. Many people rely on their Challenger status for a living, so you have no choice but to return.
If I remember correctly, the challengers who initially logged off must return by tonight at the latest, right? However, if they return en masse, it will trigger a riot among the wandering monsters, and they'll all die.
[Official personnel went there five days ago, but their combat effectiveness is limited. They've been clearing monsters for several days, but to no avail. I heard the Legion is working on a solution and will arrange for high-level challengers to go back today.]
[Without a car, the return is just like that, unless a Level 5 boss comes.]
[The fifth-level boss is on the front line fighting the Dark Beast Lord, what the hell do you want?!]
Seeing the chat room quarreling again, Wei Huan was too lazy to watch and made a quick decision: "Let's go into the city."
Mu Zhong warned, "Based on the number of monsters we've seen so far, I'm afraid this is only a small fraction. Otherwise, a Level 3 vehicle team wouldn't be able to defend. Be careful."
Wei Huan nodded.
The city wall they came from had no gate, so they had to go around to the other side.
The oasis was quite large, and they killed as they walked. It took them 10 minutes at a speed of 60 miles per hour to reach the end of the city wall.
After passing the circular watchtower built at the corner, you will reach another city wall.
Only after seeing this could we see that a brutal war had indeed taken place here.
The city wall on this side has almost collapsed. Although the challenge world has wiped out the traces of blood and corpses, the intensity of the war can be seen from the ruins.
Under Wei Huan's command, the smart housekeeper found a remote corner and turned into the city.
It was already very dilapidated, and now it looks like a civilization that was destroyed by violence before the oil tycoons discovered oil in the Middle Ages.
The low clay houses collapsed to the ground, and the rare trees that grew seven or eight meters high were broken, leaving only a pile of dead branches.
However, the thorny grass on the ground grew vigorously as if it had absorbed enough blood.
A lizard more than six meters long, with seven or eight small lizards, built a nest in this thorn bush.
The noise of the approaching car startled them, and before they could get any closer, the big lizard pounced out.
Shadow looms.
If you suddenly encounter such a monster tribe, even a level 3 vehicle would be in trouble.
No wonder we were defeated in the end and lost the supply point.
I guess there must be more than one monster tribe like this around here.
As Wei Huan was thinking this, he saw a Xiu Luoma arrive from behind but leap over from the roof of the car and grab the huge lizard with one claw.
The second-level Shuroma was very powerful, but the big lizard was not weak either, and for a while he was unable to form an overwhelming advantage.
But it doesn’t matter, what Wei Huan lacks the least is overwhelming numbers.
Immediately afterwards, two more Shuromas jumped out.
If the three Xiu Romes use violence, not only the third sister-in-law, but even the third brother will have to lie down!
The other side, Xiu Luoma, was not fighting alone either.
After seeing the lizard tribe, Wei Huan began to replenish his troops.
I saw one Shuroma after another leaping out from behind the car, and the number soon reached a 1V1 level.
Shuroma, who was already stronger than the little lizard, trampled and killed the thorns indiscriminately, turning the thorns into a bright red.
But this is not the end.
Now that we have entered the city, facing this complex and chaotic environment, the first thing we need to do is to gather intelligence.
The long-awaited ghost crows flew out of the portal like a dark cloud, croaking.
When Liu Chengzhi heard the ghost crow's cry for the first time, he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
He had low spiritual power and even lower tolerance to mental pollution, and was almost taken away by a wave.
The ghost crows flew into the sky and quickly dispersed. Their cries completely disappeared under Wei Huan's command, turning into small black mist balls that scattered throughout the city.
In unfamiliar environments, the ghost crows' reconnaissance is much slower, and the information they bring back is often useless.
Wei Huan thought of the content in the previous chat room and asked them to bring back only information about humans.
About three minutes later, the ghost crow that was about to evolve into an elite came back.
Report to him that traces of humans were found outside the city in the east.
Humans outside the city?
When Wei Huan told Mu Zhong this information, they both thought that it should be people sent by the authorities to clean up and rescue.
Challenging the world's lack of order is the naked law of evolution of the food chain, where the strong prey on the weak.
But the reason why "civilization" exists comes from the rules and order formed after the same race adapts, which can help the race reach the top of the food chain.
The previous challenging world was full of cruelty and barbarism, and on these endless sand dunes, there were piles of bones.
Today, humans have walked here and left traces of civilization.
Even those who have already moved ahead will turn around to help their fellow countrymen who are lagging behind, sharing their concerns and thinking about what they are thinking about.
When I think about it this way, the brilliance of human nature is so great and brilliant.
"Let's go and meet up." Wei Huan said.
Mu Zhong also nodded.
However, the so-called rendezvous does not mean taking a detour.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong planned to push forward directly from the city. There were monsters inside and outside the city anyway, and the difference in strength was not that big.
Of course, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
After choosing the distance, Wei Huan set off.
He summoned five female ground beasts. Xiaodian was responsible for guarding their car, and the other four ground beasts surrounded the vehicle.
More than a dozen stealth cats shuttled through the ruins of the city, but they did not stray too far from the vehicles. They hid their bodies, vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding scenes, ready to jump up and cut the enemy's throat at any time.
There were more than fifty running wolves, and as soon as they came out, they followed Brother Diao's anus, as if they had already developed the consciousness of a wolf pack.
The bone spurs on the anus-digging brother's body were very obvious, and he made a "clicking" sound in front of the wolf pack.
The wolves scattered under its command, moving through the streets and alleys of the city.
Violent Bear has always been the main force in frontal attacks, so he followed behind Xiu Roma and attacked in a straight line.
Along the way, they pushed mountains and water together. When they came across the nest of a monster tribe, they rushed in, killing the big ones and the small ones. They even shook the unhatched eggs into yolks.
They crushed the enemy with unstoppable force and were unstoppable.
In fact, Wei Huan has another more powerful assault force, which is the zombie force.
But because they are not pleasing, Wei Huan does not summon them in daily actions.
And because it is not popular, there has been no expansion for some time.
This city was originally built as a supply point relying on the oasis terrain.
At first, it was just a stop for one or two caravans, then people began to live and do business in the oasis for a long time, and it was gradually built into a small city.
In fact, the area is not very large, like a small village.
Only half of Wei Huan's summons have appeared, and the troops haven't exploded yet, but it feels like the city is filled up all of a sudden.
As soon as he summoned more creatures, the monsters had to give way. They were extremely overbearing and unreasonable.
Not to mention the crushing advance of the frontal army, even the monster tribes encountered on the left and right wings were also inhumane and bloody under the tacit cooperation of Brother Anal Digging and Dog. One dug the anus and the other bit the penis.
The fireworks of war had no impact on Wei Huan at all. Their car was always driving on the road as if it was in an empty space.
It took less than ten minutes to walk through the entire city and arrive at the eastern city wall.
It can be seen that this place has experienced a very fierce resistance war in the past.
The city walls were standing in some places and collapsing in others, and there were faint traces of battle on the ground. One could almost imagine the ferocity of that defensive battle.
I heard that only one of the third-level guards here survived.
Died on the battlefield, this word may be simple to say with your mouth, but it reveals a certain tragic and greatness.
But in fact, only those who have experienced it know how helpless and decisive it is.
No one wants to die if they can live.
Four out of five people died!
Just listening to it is heartbreaking.
However, such scenes are everywhere on the front lines of the confrontation between humans and dark beasts, and there are farewells everywhere.
The car drove to the collapsed city wall and looked outside, but no official was seen.
On second thought, those people should be further out, trying to push inside.
Today is the last day to lose the challenger qualification. All those who were lucky enough to escape are eagerly waiting to return to this world again, waiting for someone to rescue them.
The authorities really arranged people to rescue them, even though this was just a Level 2 road. Those who stayed here for a long time were simply incompetent and timid, and were the lowest level among the challengers.
But still no one will give up even one of their compatriots.
Wei Huan has seen the madness and cruelty of the challenge world, but after being reborn, he still chose to become a challenger as soon as possible.
The biggest reason is that he has been protected in this way before. When he was in despair, someone held up an umbrella for him to shelter him from the wind and rain.
Now, he just wants to hold up a bigger umbrella and do what he thinks is right to the best of his ability.
"Continue to go out of the city?" Mu Zhong asked Wei Huan.
Wei Huan was about to nod when the croaking sound of a ghost crow suddenly sounded above his head.
Wei Huan suddenly looked to the right, his eyes lighting up slightly.
"What's wrong?" Mu Zhong noticed that something was wrong with him.
Wei Huan said, "There are challengers in the city."
"Is it the person who heard the news and returned?"
"You'll find out when you go and see."
