Chapter 16: The Ice City

Although the climate changed abruptly at the beginning of the zero era, it has gradually returned to normal in recent years, so under the leadership of the fragments, the four people who have been walking south have felt the hot and humid weather belonging to the south, and on a few occasions even the silent Cassiro can't help but complain that it is really unbearable compared to the dark and cold environment of hell.

However, as a typical southern city, Hongqi is known as the "City of Ice". Shen Caixia had already heard that the city lord Han Luoyi had a special attachment to ice - maybe it was because of her ice ability? Therefore, Hongqi was also naturally designed as a city covered in ice and snow.

Before they could see the city's icy white mist, it wrapped around them, dissipating as they advanced until they approached the gates.

The ice-clad gates were narrow and thick, inconspicuously inconspicuously embedded in the walls. The frost-covered walls stretched out into the distance that few people couldn't see, merging with the same ice-blue sky, and the whole city was as impregnable as a fortress.

"City Lord Han is really an amazing person." Xia sighed as he rubbed his hands.

"The adoptive mother was not like this before she took over Hongqi, and it took three full years to transform it."

"Ahh ”

"No, no, no." Wang Yanbin hurriedly explained, "The adoptive mother controlled the spread of the cold, and Hongqi was relatively cold in the periphery and center, and most places were quite warm. ”

"That's good." Jun Luoyuan sneezed again after saying it - this damn city!

"Then hurry up and get in, I can't stand such a cold place." Shen Caixia covered her stiff face with her hands and stomped her feet.

"Then you come with me, in addition to the main door, there is also a small door for special visitors."

So the four of them followed Wang Yanbin around the gate and walked eastward until they stopped in front of an ordinary ice wall.

Wang Yanbin put his hand on one part of the ice wall, and suddenly that place bulged forward, and after a few minutes, cracks appeared around the ice wall, and with a "squeak" sound, the ice wall rose upward.

Wang Yanbin walked in with the four of them after the ice wall was completely raised, and the ice wall closed immediately after they entered.

The few people who came to the city wall fell into darkness in an instant, and the fallen angel Cassiro, who had lived in hell for a long time, still clearly saw the surrounding situation, and there was no trap, this was a passage without lights.

"Don't worry, you just have to stick to the edge of the wall, and you'll be there in no time." Wang Yanbin, who was walking in front, reminded.

Shen Caixia leaned against the wall and walked in when she heard this, and Xia and Jun Luoyuan, who were standing in place, were a little hesitant.

"Normal passage." Cassiro's deep voice rang out.

Xia Hejun Luoyuan walked forward with peace of mind.

As Wang Yanbin said, the group immediately regained their light, and they came to a cave full of ice crystals, and at the end of the cave stood two men who looked like guards.

Wang Yanbin took out the pocket of his jacket, took out a medal, turned to the four of them and said, "You wait here for a while." Then he trotted over to the two men, holding the medallion and not knowing what they were talking about.

After a while, Wang Yanbin beckoned to the four of them, "It's okay, come here!" ”

"I'm in trouble, I'm going to catch a cold for so long!" Jun Luoyuan, who followed Wang Yanbin to continue walking, complained.

"Because no xenos are allowed in the city, the guards have to be very careful, and even I have to rely on my adoptive mother's direct order to enter."

"So, then why do xenomorphs have to come to this city?" Natsu asked with a trembling voice holding her hands like an old lady.

"Hongqi is the largest city in the south, and it is also very stable compared to other cities, so there will be some xenomorphs who want to fish in troubled waters to cultivate here for a while, but there are also many who come to wreak havoc." Wang Yanbin touched his nose, which was also a little itchy, "But there seem to be a lot of people mixed in these weeks, and the adoptive mother has no choice but to take the initiative to patrol the city and arrest people." ”

"And then into the arena?" Jun Luoyuan sneered.

"What?" Wang Yanbin was stunned and asked suspiciously, "What arena?" Every time my adoptive mother catches a xenomorph, she's put them in jail. ”

"What's on the edge of the rainbow?" Jun Luoyuan asked rhetorically.

"Prison," Wang Yanbin said as a matter of course, "the adoptive mother kept both xenos and xenomorphs there. ”

"Prison? It seems that your adoptive mother really loves you very much. Jun Luoyuan, who probably understood what was going on, said sarcastically.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Wang Yanbin came to a fork in the road, pointed to the one on the right, and said, "You just have to go there to enter the city." ”

"What about you?" Shen Caixia asked, "Aren't you going back to the city with me?" ”

"Me?" Wang Yanbin pointed at himself, "I have to go directly to my adoptive mother, after leaving for such a long time, she probably knows everything, and now she must be in a hurry to die." ”

Can't we be together? Shen Caixia turned around with some reluctance and walked with the three of them to the right passage.

"You don't have a pass to be extra careful in the city, if something happens, you must look for me!" Wang Yanbin shouted and reminded.

……

As soon as the four of them crossed the passage, they were greeted by snow and ice in front of them.

Without thinking, Cassiro stepped forward and put his hand on the ice, and a few seconds later, a pile of ice slag appeared at the feet of the four people.

Wang Yanbin, who was greeting the guards in the passage, suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously - he always felt that he had forgotten something.

On the other side, the four people who crossed the ice slag walked for a long time with their intuition, and suddenly a warm wind blew, and the chill around them was much lessβ€”the city had arrived.

Surrounded by low houses with white walls and tiles from a long time ago, some people have stalls in front of their doors, but there are also beggars in ragged clothes lying on the side of the houses, and although the streets are not very lively, there are a few quarrels and small talk from time to time......

Compared with the Hongqi people who came and went in plain clothes, the four of them were a little out of place for outsiders. Unlike Duannan's welcome and acceptance of outsiders, it didn't take long for the four of them to feel a few glances from all directions.

It doesn't seem to be good. Seeing a few men who looked ruthless but not very strong walking towards them, Shen Caixia thought for a while, and still poked Cassiro with her finger - Xia was too polite to outsiders, and the other party must have thought that they were easy to bully, Jun Luoyuan, a little kid, had a stinky temper, and it was estimated that he would be beaten as soon as he opened his mouth, which would make things bigger, or Cassiro with low air pressure was more reliable, even if it was just to scare them.

Feeling Shen Caixia's touch, Cassiro lowered his head, Shen Caixia's shining eyes suddenly came into view, and Cassiro quickly looked away, took a step forward, and blocked in front of the three of them.

"It's a few outsiders again, it's really unlucky, as soon as I entered the city, I met that adult."

"It is said that the lord has just recruited a few thugs, I guess these are the ones."

"What to do? Do you want to call the guards? ”

"You're stupid, it's useless to call the guards, and you may be implicated."

"I'm still watching the show! Hurry up and close the stall, what if it gets smashed! ”

……

Shen Caixia, who heard the whispers around her, frowned - Hongqi was also so messy.
