Chapter 338: The Unexpected Stone City
Lan Shiruo smiled and looked at Yan Tian, "Thank you for what I just did. I'm very happy that you can come to Shicheng. You have worked hard along the way."
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Yan Tian and his team were very nervous. They were still unsure whether they could stay. They hadn't noticed that someone was missing yet. "Well, we got some supplies and Mr. Xia is keeping them for the time being. I'm not sure if they're enough."
The main team knew about the missing personnel, but kept quiet. They also saw Yan Tian's team's supplies; they were plentiful and sufficient. If they had used these supplies as leverage, they would have more than enough to reach other major bases on the list. However, they didn't, which still impressed the main team.
At least they have a clear self-awareness.
However, the team never said they hadn't passed; after all, the test wasn't over yet. "There's no rush. Everyone's tired, and it's getting late. Brother Kong, Mr. Lu, take everyone to rest. We're all friends who came here because of your reputation, so don't neglect us."
"Okay." Kong Fenglin and Lu Gan led those people who were watching the excitement and had different thoughts away and headed inside. The good things about Shicheng were not something they were afraid of knowing, but they were afraid of not knowing.
Everyone was confused, where else could they take it?
He didn't ask too many questions. Shi Cheng's decisive killing just now successfully silenced them and they didn't dare to say anything more.
In the crowd, Tan Zhenjia looked deeply at the big team, didn't come over to greet them, and followed them away.
Stone City and the Stormtroopers were very different from what he had imagined. He just didn't know whether these magical people and places would give him more surprises.
Kong Fenglin Lugan left with a large group, leaving Lin Ting alone there, which was very embarrassing.
Yan Tian’s team finally woke up from their dream, realizing that they were still missing a player.
Yan Tian was confused and nervous again, "That, she, I, I..." The team members didn't know the conditions proposed by Lan Shiruo, and they just felt that the boss's reaction was a little strange.
Lin Ting didn't know either. She just guessed that Miaomiao, that bitch, might have said something bad about her behind her back, or done something else, causing Yan Tian's attitude towards her to change so suddenly. She was resentful in her heart, but kept a straight face.
Lan Shiruo didn't wait for him to finish his words and said, "Let's go. The car has been arranged." She didn't even glance at Lin Ting, completely ignoring her. The other children did the same, walking by without even glancing at her.
Lin Ting was extremely embarrassed and angry, but she didn't dare to say anything. She had just witnessed Shi Cheng's brutality and was scared to death.
What surprised her was that the people in Shicheng were so respectful to the Dragon and Phoenix Team. She originally thought that the Dragon and Phoenix Team was just a subordinate team, but it turned out that
Jealousy and resentment grew like crazy, but she could only endure it, with her eyes lowered, not saying a word, standing behind Team Yan Tian. What did it matter if Shicheng belonged to them? It was just a shabby place with no future. If something happened, it could be destroyed in minutes. What was there to be proud of?
Yan Tian opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He just looked very dejected. It seemed that he would not pass.
Everyone had to go inside, and Xia Xun was eager to follow. In just a short while, he and Wang Hu became close friends, and they were so close that they could wear the same pants.
The big team rarely cared about them, so they got on the car and followed the big team and the people from Shicheng. They were full of doubts and didn't know where else to go. Shicheng was so small that even if they didn't live at the city gate, they could live at the innermost end of the city without taking a car. It seemed that the distance they had to travel was not short.
Looking around, there is nothing particularly different except stones. Will they all live in those stone houses in the future?
It might look ugly, but it should be safe.
Wang Hu and his group are not picky at all. They admire the boss. Shicheng is a changeable existence. It doesn’t matter what it is like now. What matters is that the future is bright. If they can’t be defenders, they will be pioneers.
As for Ni Yueping and Situ Weikui, who originally planned to join Shicheng, they were a little hesitant and decided to wait and see.
Along the way, everyone prepared themselves mentally, thinking, "Let's make the best of it, but when we enter the canyon, we start to feel a surge of shock, until we see the real Stone City, when our shock reaches its peak."
What did they see?
Saw a paradise.
I saw everyone having fun.
Saw prosperity.
Saw hope and the future.
Is this Stone City?
The four middle-aged men and other people were waiting at the entrance early. When they saw the large group, their eyes were red and they couldn't help but ask about their well-being.
Miao's mother ran towards Miaomiao, and Miaomiao opened her arms to greet her with tears in her eyes.
"My dear, I miss you so much. Why have you lost so much weight? It doesn't matter, mommy will make you up again later." She reached out and hugged the fat mouse, stroked its fur and rubbed its belly, feeling very happy.
Miaomiao, shivering in the cold wind with her arms outstretched, was she her real mother? Was she? Was she even less important than a mouse? They didn't even exchange glances after meeting after such a long separation?
The fat rat acted coquettishly and cutely in Miao's mother's arms, and complained at the same time, raising his chin proudly towards Miao Miao, and said, "Hmph, I won't let you bully Master Rat."
Ding Jiajia put his arm around Miaomiao's shoulders and said, "Poor little thing, come into your brother's arms."
Miaomiao gritted her teeth and slapped the man away.
He's father, He's mother, Miao's father, the Ruan family, the Huo family, the Yun family, and the Fang family all came. Everyone hugged each other and cried and laughed. Lan Shiruo let out a breath of air. This is the taste of home.
"Aunt He, please prepare a few delicious dishes and bring them to the living room. We are entertaining our friends. Please come and have a good time."
"Okay, you guys go back and rest first. Let Lao He take everyone to the room to wash up first. The meal will be ready soon."
Lan Shiruo nodded and handed Wang Hu, Nie Liangbao, Ji Yineng and the others to Xia Xun for hosting. After all, they had similar interests and felt comfortable together.
Yan Tian and his group followed He's father and handed Tan Chong to Miao's father, then went back to their rooms to rest and wash up.
Those who were just passing through were usually placed in the outermost area of the inner circle and had to pay rent. Yan Tian, Jiang Quanshun, Yan Cong, Ni Yueping, and Situ Weikui, who were friends of Shicheng, were all placed in the inner middle area and did not have to pay rent.
The rooms are similar, allowing everyone to feel the unique atmosphere of Shicheng.
After being away for more than a year, the whole team felt relaxed and refreshed when they returned to this place called home.
Everyone else, whether they were the thousands of people brought by large groups or just someone who had come because of its reputation, was filled with admiration after seeing the real Stone City. Walking among the children playing and the people living in harmony, it felt like a dream, a top-heavy experience.
Lin Ting secretly regretted not standing out with Yan Tian and the others to help. She was jealous of Miaomiao, but she had to say that this place was really good and she wanted to stay, no, she had to stay.
That night, the big team entertained friends and reunited with family. Ten tables were set up in the living room. Everyone sat together to eat and drink, and the party lasted until the early morning.
The next day, everyone in the team slept in and didn't wake up until noon.
The others couldn't wait any longer, so they got up early and wandered around the Stone City, exclaiming in wonder and looking at everything as if they were Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. While the Stone City itself wasn't quite as large as it was, the combined interior and exterior of the city was enough for one to spend three or four days slowly exploring on foot.
Shicheng is not secretive. You can go anywhere and do whatever you want as long as you don't cause any damage.
