Chapter 174 Desolate City
Chapter 174 Desolate City
Huangchen City is not particularly big, at most it is only about two districts of Huangyu, but the prosperity here far exceeds that of Huangyu. The streets and alleys reveal a sense of vitality, just like a real The city is average.
The more obvious difference is that most of the people in the wasteland are cruel and vicious, and their faces are all hideous. Although there are people here who are fierce, there are not as many as imagined. All in all, this place is very harmonious , at least more harmonious than the wasteland.
In addition, as a city close to the Tianxuan area, the environment here is naturally better than the other places. Because of the relationship between water and soil, there is a small forest not far behind, and there are also some places in the city. The presence of a few trees adds a touch of color to the monotony of the endless wasteland.
Except for the points mentioned above, the biggest difference between this desolate city and the desolate land lies in the huge sun hanging above it. After all, one side is full of darkness and yin, while the other side is full of light, which is extremely dazzling. , Such a gap will inevitably not make people feel a lot.
For example, an hour ago, a young man in gray robe came from the wasteland through the teleportation array, and he had many thoughts in his heart.
I saw him walking on the street, listening to the yelling of hawkers and merchants on both sides, and feeling the collision with some pedestrians. He seemed to have returned to the world from hell, and even sighed from time to time.
There is no suspense, he is Zheng Xie.
Walking lightly on the street, it took a long time to gradually adapt to this environment, but he did not relax his vigilance because of this, because after experiencing the trip to the wilderness, he already had the idea of facing the unknown. Sometimes, the habit of tensing one's mind is not good, but it is definitely not bad.
"Forget it, find an inn to rest for a while, and then plan the route out of Huangchen City..." Zheng Xie thought to himself, and then walked towards the interior of Huangchen City, but at the moment he acted However, his eyes moved slightly, as if he had noticed something, but he didn't say anything, but had other plans.
Zheng Xie walked very slowly, at least compared to the fast pace when he was in the wasteland, he was already walking the slowest, step by step, not rushing, crossing a small street, crossing a small alley, he came to the A dark and deserted place, then turned his head and looked in a certain direction...
"Why don't you come out?" Zheng Xie, who looked calm, suddenly said.
But after his voice sounded, there was no change in the surroundings, but Zheng Xie didn't care much about it, he continued to say: "If you don't come out, then don't follow me anymore, after leaving the wasteland , you go your way, I cross my bridge, if there is a chance to meet again in the future, we are all friends."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Xie didn't intend to stay any longer, but in the next breath, before he took any action, a very delicate voice, with a slightly anxious tone, suddenly rang in his ears.
"Wait!" At this moment, following this voice, a beautiful, tall, and very temperamental woman appeared in Zheng Xie's eyes. It was obvious that she was Xu Tianqin who had come to Desolate City in advance.
Unlike the eldest lady who was pampered and pampered in the wasteland, she seemed to change into a simple brown rough coat to wrap herself tightly in order not to attract attention, and her face was slightly changed with profound force, but even In this way, what she should exist still exists.
Zheng Xie naturally discovered her a long time ago, so he was not surprised. After a while of silence, he asked, "What else?"
Hearing this, Xu Tianqin was hesitant to speak, but in the end he hesitated and said: "This place... I'm not very familiar with this place, I think... can you accompany me...accompany me for a few days..."
"Huh?" Zheng Xie was taken aback.
And as if afraid that Zheng Xie would think about other things, Xu Tianqin hurriedly said: "Don't worry! As long as I get familiar with this place, I will never pester you again, but...just during this period, I hope someone can protect me. "
At the end of the conversation, Xu Tianqin's voice became softer and weaker. She still had the arrogance she had when she was in the wasteland. She was completely like a little girl next door. thing.
Of course, Zheng Xie is not a ruthless person. He knows very well in his heart that without Xu Tianqin's help, he would never have come here smoothly. He shouldn't leave Xu Tianqin alone, especially in this strange place.
"Indeed, she is just a woman after all, and she is still a woman who has been imprisoned in a cage. She must know little about the outside world, just like a domesticated bird. Without the help of others, she will never be able to survive in the forest. What's more, with her beauty, there is a high possibility of being targeted..." After thinking about it, Zheng Xie sighed slightly.
Seeing Zheng Xie thinking for so long, Xu Tianqin thought that Zheng Xie was trying to reject her reasons, so in a hurry, she said, "If you think it will be troublesome to help me, why not do this! You open a Price, I hire you as an employer, in this way, there will be interests between us as a basis, and you don't need to have too much consideration, how about it?"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Zheng Xie's eyes lit up, and he realized that this idea is really good, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore. After thinking about it, he nodded and replied: "If that's the case, then fine!"
Seeing that Zheng Xie finally agreed, Xu Tianqin also had a smile, and then he was relieved. There were only two reasons why she wanted to follow Zheng Xie. The first point was that she really hoped that someone could protect her. Familiar, if something happens, it will be bad, as for the second point...
"As long as I can follow him, I will impress him one day..." Xu Tianqin couldn't help thinking, a series of visions about the future appeared in her mind, some of which even made her blush, and it was not until a moment later that she calmed down.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Tianqin rented Zheng Xie at a friendly price of twenty low-grade true profound stones per day, and Zheng Xie also put forward three conditions accordingly, but Zheng Xie said it carefully, but Xu Tianqin didn't agree with it at all. Care, she has been immersed in a happy mood, a little unable to extricate herself.
It's just that Zheng Xie, who saw Xu Tianqin like this, suddenly felt a tinge of regret. He just agreed to her matter, and Zheng Xie didn't want to go back on his word, so in the end, he could only sigh.
……
Wasteland, Southern District, Dungeon.
This is a large open space, except for a high-grade teleportation formation, and a teenager and a middle-aged man standing here, there is nothing around.
"Father, what is this teleportation array?" The middle-aged man was puzzled.
"This teleportation array leads to Huangchen City..." the young man replied flatly.
"Tongwang Huangchen City?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"Well! Back then, the city owner of Huangchen City and I had a cooperative relationship, but later there was a problem with Huangchen City, so the cooperation was terminated, but the teleportation array was retained." The boy said.
"The previous teleportation array..." the middle-aged man murmured.
"Yes!" The boy nodded.
"Could it be...Father wants me to go to Huangchen City?" At this moment, the eyes of the middle-aged man moved, as if he understood the meaning of the boy.
"That's right." The boy replied.
"Then... what does father want me to do?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"kill!"
"kill?"
"Execute whatever I gave you earlier, kill that young man named Zheng Xie, and according to the information I got, he is now in Huangchen City."
"Huh?" The middle-aged man became more and more puzzled, and he frowned and asked again: "Father, since he has left the wasteland, why do we pursue him so hard, I feel..."
"It's a bit redundant? Isn't it?" The boy said without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak.
"This..." The middle-aged man was speechless.
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's too much or not. You just need to carry out the tasks I give you, understand?" the boy said, with a tone of reprimand.
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, but after all, he responded in the words of his father: "Yes!"
