A gunshot rang out, and Zi Manxiang froze in place, as she watched the deformed bullet fall to the ground, while I was unscathed.

There was a loud knock on the door.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, the gun went off. Zi Manxiang responded.

It seems that her security measures here are indeed in place.

"Now, are you convinced?" I asked with a smile.

"How is this possible, how are you.." Zi Manxiang said incoherently.

"This story is very long, the matter is done, I will explain to you slowly, now you have to take me to find the beast first. I said.

"Are you sure you're sure?" asked Zi Manxiang.

"Why don't I take a few more shots to show you?" I asked with a smile.

"No, no, I'll take you. Zi Manxiang said and stepped forward and snatched the gun from my hand.

I came to the car, took my equipment, put it on the Zimanxiang car, and we set off.

Walking along the road of the outer city, there was a magnificent ancient city gate, but the guards recognized Zi Manxiang and did not dare to check our car, so we entered the inner city smoothly.

The buildings in the inner city are still quaint, but there are some eye-catching modern buildings in these ancient buildings, which look like they should have been built after the troubled times.

"Those buildings are used to produce weapons and equipment. Zi Manxiang said.

"Do you still have a firearms technician here?" I asked.

"Yes, they all came to take refuge in this city. Zi Manxiang said.

However, the life of the people here is okay, although it is obviously not as good as before the troubled times, but they are not all wearing shackles like Akatsuki City, at least they can move freely.

I saw that there were still many shops on the street, and the shops were selling some daily necessities, and there were very few people on the street at this time.

"Is there trade in this Midtown?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the trade here is still money, and the goods exchanged for the outside city are sold here, but the price is higher. Zi Manxiang said.

"And where do these people get their money?" I asked.

"Through labor, there are large fields and orchards outside the city, and there are factories in the city, and the weapons factory you just saw is just one of them, as well as the production of clothes, shoes and hats, the production of daily necessities, and the breeding of livestock. Zi Manxiang said.

"Then you're really self-sufficient here. I said.

"Sort of, if Wuhan Iron and Steel didn't have those thoughts, this would be a pure land in troubled times. Zi Manxiang said.

Zi Manxiang said this, which really made me reflect.

It is true that the culprits are fat women and strange beasts, but the choice is always in the hands of these city lords, and what kind of life the people live depends on how these city lords do it.

Thinking about it like this, I feel a lot more relieved, I don't hate the fat woman so much, and I apologize to Paul and Luna even more, and if I can still find them, I must apologize to them.

"Who are the five stewards in the city?" I asked.

"They were all rich merchants in the city. Zi Manxiang said.

"I didn't expect you to be a rich woman. I said with a smile.

"At this point, you still have the heart to joke, are you really okay? Or I'll let my people help you." Zi Manxiang said.

"No, ordinary people are sent to death when they go, believe me, I'm fine. I said.

We drove through the bustling streets and finally came to the last gate, which led to the inner city.

This time, the guards did not let him go directly, but came forward to check it.

"What's the matter, I can't go into the city?" Zi Manxiang asked unhappily.

"Boss Zi, it's definitely no problem for you to enter the city, but it's different if there is one more person, don't be embarrassed. The guard said.

These guards seem to be Wuhan Iron and Steel's people, and it seems that this Wuhan Iron and Steel is really ready to gradually control all the forces in the city.

"This is my man. Zi Manxiang said suddenly.

The voice pulled me straight back to reality, but I didn't dare to show surprise, because in fact, I was indeed her man.

"This.." It was the turn of a few of the guards to be speechless.

It seems that Zi Manxiang is indeed the kind of woman who is difficult to get close to, and I don't know what I like about me.

"Hurry up and let go. Zi Manxiang scolded angrily.

"Yes, let go. The guard said embarrassedly.

By the way, he also threw jealous and hateful glances at me.

Entering the inner city, Zi Manxiang didn't speak, but she couldn't blush, so I naturally didn't want to say anything more.

The architecture of this inner city is still quaint, but compared to the middle city, the buildings here are much more beautiful and look more luxurious.

And the shops here are basically eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and although there are not many people on the streets now, I can also imagine the erosive life here at night.

No wonder Zi Manxiang is reluctant to stay in this inner city.

Zi Manxiang did not stop, but sped up her speed, turned around and finally came to a temple.

The place is relatively empty, there are no superfluous buildings around, and the temple is surrounded by a forest, which is quite mysterious.

There was silence in the red courtyard wall, and there was not even incense in sight, but I didn't expect this place to become the residence of strange beasts.

"At this time, you still want to ask God to worship Buddha?" I couldn't help but ask.

"No, the cellar is in it, and a bomb shelter was built here when the city was built. Zi Manxiang said.

"Where's the entrance?" I asked.

"I'll take you. Zi Manxiang said and got out of the car.

"No need, you can wait for me in the car. I said.

"No, I'm not at ease, and I don't want to be alone in this city for a minute. Ziman said with a bulging aroma.

"Oh well. "I had to jump out of the car, open the trunk, and take out my knife and the suitcase with the wings.

The two of them directly pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, just as I saw outside, it was quiet and scary, and Zi Manxiang couldn't help but lean towards me.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. I said and closed the courtyard door with my backhand.

I could see that this place should have been at the peak of incense, because in the Daxiong Treasure Hall where we were opposite, I could see the incense burner full of incense ash and dense incense sticks.

It's just that now, everything is covered in dust.

"Let's go. Zi Manxiang said a little nervously.

"Hmm. I said and took her hand.

Zi Manxiang glanced up at me and pulled me forward.

After a long circle along the corridor, we finally came to the back of the temple, which was a separate courtyard.

There is no decoration in the courtyard, but the three large characters of the bomb shelter are on the concrete wall not far in front of me.

I stepped forward to inspect the iron gate, and it was actually locked, but such a lock would only be able to stop ordinary people.

I drew my knife and cut the lock directly, and was about to step in, but Zi Manxiang grabbed my arm.

"What's wrong?" I asked, turning around.

"I don't want to be here alone. Zi Manxiang said.

Recalling the experience of entering the bomb shelter before, the structure below did not delay me from taking her with me.

"Okay, then you follow me. I said and stepped inside.

It was still a passage that extended downward, and I walked through several iron gates, but the iron doors were all open, and I locked them easily.

"What are you doing, you don't leave a way back. Zi Manxiang asked nervously in a whisper.

"It's fine. I comforted softly.

"Is there a light in this place, how can you see this darkness? Zi Manxiang said.

"I can see it, but I can't turn on the lights now, and it's not good to wake up the beast. I said.

Saying this, Zi Manxiang closed her mouth in fright, and didn't dare to ask another word.

Finally, after passing through the fifth iron gate, I sensed the breath of a strange beast, and this bomb shelter was indeed much larger than that of Akatsuki City.

However, the population here is also larger than that of Akatsuki Castle, and this castle is also larger than Akatsuki Castle, so this bomb shelter is also common sense.

In front of him was the last big iron gate, and the thickness of this iron gate was not comparable to the previous iron gates.

I stopped and patted Zi Manxiang gently, and even though she was scared, she let go of her grip on me.

I opened my suitcase, put on my wings and combat headset, and by the way, I took off my civilian clothes over my combat uniform, I didn't want to be bloody again.

I lifted the double knife and raised my hand to turn on the power on the wall, Zi Manxiang saw me at this moment, covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, worried that she couldn't help but scream.
