The next day, the biggest enemy was the Night Demon's attack, but with this group of powerful mercenaries protecting them, they didn't cause much of a commotion that night.
By noon on the third day, after two days of long journey, the majestic figure of the Tianxiahui could be seen.
What could be more inspiring than this? If the customer service vehicle hadn't been moving at a constant speed, everyone would have wanted to floor the gas pedal and speed all the way to the city gate.
Liu Nian suppressed her excitement. She had already endured the journey, so why should she care about a mere ten minutes?
The saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death." What was supposed to be a dozen minutes turned into several tens of minutes, and the group finally arrived at the city gate of the World Society.
Standing at the foot of the city gate, he looked at the city wall in front of him. The city wall was very unique. The four walls were completely made of shipping containers, stacked up to four layers high.
Like Wushuang City, the edges of the city walls here still bear traces of dried blood and bone fragments, suggesting that it too had endured a fierce battle.
It was midday, and the sun was blazing!
However, there were still many people wanting to enter the city, and the queues completely blocked the road.
When it was finally their turn, everyone showed their mercenary badges, and the guards asked a few questions before letting them through.
The merchants also needed to sign something at the city gate, and the guards would inspect their goods.
After a series of procedures, just when everyone thought they could enter the city, a group of people walked out from the other side of the city.
The officer guarding the city gate looked at the newcomer with disgust in his eyes.
Sure enough, before the people even arrived, the group started shouting that they wanted to collect protection money.
No wonder he's so disliked, Liu Nian thought to himself as he listened to that duck-like voice.
“You scoundrel, this is the World Society, not a place for you to run wild,” the guard said sternly.
"So what if it's the World Society? Don't you take my boss Zhu Xiaotian seriously?" Sang Gou swaggered up to the guard and said arrogantly.
Your gait is quite arrogant, but the way you look up at the guard makes you look ridiculous!
Liu Nian looked over there and first saw a large bald head, then a distinctive fleshy neck, like a lifebuoy hanging around the neck. He was short and stocky but had a lot of fat, and there was a scar at the corner of his eye when he turned around.
Zhu Xiaotian? Upon hearing this name, Liu Nian's mind stirred.
There are so many people with the same name; perhaps it's just a coincidence.
"If it weren't for the fact that he's from the Zhu family of Jiangnan, do you think you'd still be alive today?" The guard's expression changed slightly upon hearing the name, but he remained unmoved and retorted coldly.
"Let me tell you, I'm determined to collect this protection money, even if Jesus comes, I'll still collect it." Seeing the guard's utter disregard for the situation, the scoundrel stood blocking the city gate like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
Upon hearing this answer, the people behind him all took a step forward, subtly forming a circle around the official.
Their actions made the already crowded city gate even more congested, making it impossible for people to pass through, let alone vehicles.
Seeing that things were not going well, the guards behind the official turned around and ran into the guardhouse behind him.
Before long, a group of guards rushed out of the guardhouse, their numbers roughly equal to those of the zombies, and ran to the guard officer's side.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control and there was a risk of fighting, everyone was secretly anxious.
The caravan members were fine; being a little late was no problem.
The customer service representative had never experienced anything like this before and was momentarily stuck, leaving Liu Nian and his group in a dilemma.
(The game's AI isn't as advanced as I thought!)
Liu Nian thought to herself.
Anyway, I have to make sure the mission succeeds. Looking at the customer service car that was blocked by two groups of people, I'm willing to break through the checkpoint.
He turned to the other five people and quickly discussed it. They all agreed with Liu Nian's approach.
The mission has reached this final step, and failing for such a ridiculous reason would really make you depressed all night.
Just as Liu Nian and his group were preparing to take action, another group of people walked out of the city.
The sharp-eyed guards saw them approaching and their faces lit up with joy.
Before the other party arrived, a mechanical object suddenly flew over from the sky.
After hovering above the horde of zombies for a few seconds, the mechanical body stopped in mid-air, its "eyes" flashing blue light scanning the people below: "Take your people and get out of here immediately, or you will be treated as siege bandits."
A cold, electronic voice came through, seemingly to prove that what was said was true. The parts on the mechanical body changed in a flash, and the sound of metal rubbing together came. In a moment, the mechanical arm turned into two channels, which were unclear whether they were gun barrels or cannon barrels, and aimed them at Zang Gou and the others.
Upon seeing the dark gun barrel pointed at him, Sang Gou's face turned from pale to ashen as he looked at the mechanical object in the air. He knew all too well the power of that thing.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva couldn't save his parched lips. After swallowing another mouthful, Sang Gou cautiously spoke, "I was just joking, Young City Lord, please don't take it seriously, it's a misunderstanding!"
"roll"
After a long while, the word came from the mechanical body, which made the drenched dog feel like it had been granted a pardon. It hurriedly thanked him and left.
As he was leaving, the dog looked back one last time.
"This score is yours now. What bad luck!" Sang Gou thought to himself, looking at the masked man in pitch black sitting on the motorcycle.
Liu Nian was unaware that she had been targeted and was using information gathering to search for information about the aerial mechanical body.
Seeing science fiction-related professions for the first time piqued his interest.
Most people are still living in the age of swords and magic; his approach is far ahead of its time.
[Aerial Combat Mech: Storm] (Congratulations to the owner)
Machine gun attack power: 3-8 (magic)
Missile attack power: 15-25 (magic)
Health: 150 Shield: 30
Self-Destruct: This skill is activated when HP is below 15, dealing 30 points of fire damage.
Good heavens! Not only is its attack high, but it's also a magical attack. Anyone who gets hit by this thing will die.
If we build a few more, wouldn't we be invincible? It feels like I chose the wrong class; the Necromancer class suddenly doesn't seem so appealing anymore.
Seeing this, Liu Nian realized why that scoundrel was so terrified.
"Young City Lord"
"Young City Lord"
The shouts of the guards at the city gate brought Liu Nian back to his senses. A handsome young man in his early twenties was leading the way towards him.
As for a description of my appearance? I'm straight, and nobody can turn me gay! So why would I bother describing it?!
There was actually a little bit of jealousy involved, but Liu Nian would never admit it!
After the group of sanggou left, the roads into the city were cleared.
The six people bid farewell to the caravan at the city gate, exchanged contact information, and then followed the customer service lady's car to the Adventurers' Hall of the World Society.
Congratulations? Congratulations?
I think the winner of last week's world-class gold chest had this name; I overheard the mercenaries talking about it around the campfire.
Liu Nian suddenly woke up and looked back while sitting on the motorcycle, but unfortunately he didn't see the young city lord. The guards at the city gate had him completely surrounded.
"I'll treat everyone to braised pork liver for dinner tonight!"
