This journey lasted for five days, and it also allowed Chu Tianjiang and Laika to get to know each other better, and made the two become familiar and even intimate from strangers.

In the early morning of the sixth day, the two came to the outskirts of Yanyang City.

The two of them changed into civilian clothes that had been prepared for a long time, and discarded all items related to the Storm Legion, including the individual combat uniforms.

"We'll go into town in the evening."

"Wait here until the evening?"

Laika nodded and said, "The nearest village and town to Yanyang City is fifty kilometers away, which is equivalent to a day's trip for ordinary people. We are now refugees on the run, and it is impossible for us to travel at night in our attire. If you enter the city in the morning, you may be suspicious. ”

Chu Tianjiang didn't say much, they were indeed dressed like fugitives now.

"The plan has been made, you just need to do what I tell you to do......"

"I don't think there's any need for a plan."

Laika's brows jumped a few times, and she looked at Chu Tianjiang in a little surprise.

"I mean, no plan can be trusted." Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly and said, "I'm an outsider, I don't know this city at all, and I don't know that guy named Victor. Of course, you can tell me what he looks like and where he lives. Although you are more familiar with this place than I am, I believe that the war in the past six months has changed a lot, just like Storm City, this place has become strange. Regardless of whether or not you have a plan that is detailed enough, I think it's best to act on the opportunity and not get held back by it. ”

"That's your plan?"

"It's not a plan."

Laika smiled and said, "You're right, I haven't been here for five years. I don't know much about the city either, especially now. ”

"Then you should understand the situation and then decide how to start."

"How many people have you killed?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "There are a lot, so many that I can't even remember clearly." ”

"How many?"

"Hundreds of millions, billions, tens of billions."

Laika also laughed, she felt that Chu Tianjiang was joking. "I've killed three people before that."

"Only three?"

"I'm not a killer, my goal is money, and I haven't killed anyone before and after I met him. It wasn't until after he left that I was forced to kill. ”

"Your hands are cleaner than mine."

"When this is all over, what are your plans?"

Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, this was a very difficult question to answer, and he didn't know the answer.

"If you can't leave the United Continent, you ......"

"Whether or not I can leave the United Continent, I will find a place to settle Iskar and let her live a peaceful and prosperous life."

"That's her, what about you?"

"Me?"

"You can't live with her for the rest of your life, do you like her, or she's in love with you?"

"I'm her uncle."

"But you are not related by blood, and I have long seen that she loves you, and even values you more than herself."

"This ......"

"Haven't you ever loved someone?"

"Of course not, it's just ......"

"Just can't be with her?"

Chu Tianjiang let out a sigh, and then nodded.

"She's still alive?"

"Not really."

"What do you mean?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly and said, "If she is still alive, she is also in another world. ”

Laika was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Chu Tianjiang meant, or literally understood the meaning of Chu Tianjiang's words.

"You said that people live in the present and work hard for the future."

Chu Tianjiang glanced at Laika, he did say something like this.

Laika shook Chu Tianjiang's hand, which was a body language with a very clear meaning.

"I think we should find a secluded place."

Laika was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Tianjiang with a little surprise. She just gave a hint, and Chu Tianjiang's answer was not only bold, but also very direct.

"I mean, it's close to the road, and you're going to be spotted by the patrols." Chu Tianjiang smiled, Laika obviously misunderstood what he meant. "If I'm not mistaken, the garrisons of Burning Sun City, like the Stormwind Legion, are looking for fugitives. It may not be what will happen to us, and we don't need to be afraid of anything, but we are civilians now, and it is certainly better to be able to avoid the military. ”

Laika let go of Chu Tianjiang's hand and stood up, walking towards the sand dunes that were away from the road.

Chu Tianjiang shook his head with a wry smile and followed.

The daylight hours are difficult, mainly due to the intense heat caused by the strong sun. Even if you are hiding in the shadows, you can still feel the heat on the ground. If the temperature is too high, it is easy to get tired. Towards noon, Laika fell asleep in the shadow of the camouflage net.

She slept soundly and was unwary, showing that she completely trusted Chu Tianjiang.

Of course, she may have hoped that something would happen, but Chu Tianjiang didn't do anything. It's not that Chu Tianjiang doesn't have the desire to do this, but he can't arouse the slightest interest. His relationship with Laika is based entirely on lies, and for a specific purpose.

Obviously, such a relationship is difficult to maintain.

After the lie is exposed, the two will go their separate ways. Even through Iska, Chu Tianjiang was able to control Laika, but all he got was a walking corpse.

In the evening, the sun sets below the dunes.

Overall, there is not much difference between Burning Sun City and Storm City, it is still a forest of high-rise buildings, only larger, and the buildings are higher. In the center of the city, there are more than a dozen skyscrapers with a height of more than 1,500 meters, and the entire urban area is more than 100 square kilometers. Standing on the outskirts of the city, looking at those skyscrapers from afar, anyone will feel small, but also feel the power of technology.

Like Storm City, there are checkpoints on the roads outside Sunny City.

The difference is that all people entering the city need to be checked. However, there are no recruiting stations here, and there is no compulsory conscription of civilians into the army.

After being inspected, Chu Tianjiang and Laika both received a yellow identity tag.

Chu Tianjiang noticed that most of the civilians who entered the city received green identity plates. In other words, the garrison will screen people who enter the city and issue different colors of identity badges according to whether they have superpowers. Because in Burning Sun City, everything needs to be done with the identity badges issued by the garrison, so the garrison can keep track of the movements of these people at any time, and know what they have done and when.

Of course, there is another purpose for this yellow badge.

"Remember, every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m."

Chu Tianjiang nodded and didn't say anything more to the soldier in charge of the inspection.

Instead of having a recruiting station, Burning Sun City was not located on a suburban road, but in an urban area, and it was up to civilians to decide whether or not to join the legion. According to the soldier's explanation, with this long identity card, Chu Tianjiang can go to the city's recruitment center to report, become a reservist, and become a regular soldier after completing the training and assessment. Like Storm City, military personnel enjoy a lot of privileges in Burning Sun City.

Laika, like Chu Tianjiang, was also invited.

According to Chu Tianjiang's understanding, in this era, the gender difference between soldiers is no longer obvious. As long as you have strong enough superpowers, both men and women can become soldiers, and there is no distinction between genders, even accommodation and bathing.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang and Laika came all the way to join the legions of Yanyang City.

Once in the city, there are no restrictions.

However, unlike in peacetime, in order to obtain various services, it is necessary to pay "money", that is, labor vouchers issued by the garrison of Burning Sun City. Although it is also known as "labor vouchers", it cannot be used by different forces, so Chu Tianjiang and Laika can be said to be poor.

Fortunately, this was not difficult for the two of them at all, and there was no need for Chu Tianjiang to come forward.

Don't forget, Laika was originally in this business.

After a spin around the entertainment venues in the city center, Laika got enough money.

The so-called "money" is not banknotes, but a kind of electronic money, and it is linked to everyone's identity tag, but it can be transferred.

Afterwards, the two went to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang doesn't have any interest in the food of this era.

Because agriculture has almost completely disappeared, even food factories do not grow crops in an artificial environment, but directly synthesize the sugars, amino acids and fats needed by the human body. The process of making food is actually to shape these ingredients into the shape of a certain food, and add water, salt, vitamins and trace elements to it. As a result, every food of this era was indicated in terms of calories, salt, vitamins and trace elements, so that the eater could know if he had consumed more than he could consume on a daily basis. Although each food is exquisite and tastes very good, it is not at all attractive to Chu Tianjiang, who came from 10,000 years ago. Thinking that these were all synthesized by machines, not grown in the ground, or cut from livestock and poultry, Chu Tianjiang had no appetite. To put it bluntly, this is no different from drinking urine that has been purified and turned back into water. In fact, the vast majority of the raw materials needed to make food come from household waste and excrement. In other words, the people of this era have replaced plants with machines and built a complete food chain with science and technology.

Of course, Laika didn't feel that way, she grew up eating this food.

Luckily, dinner is only part of the night's activities.

Although I wrote a room in a nearby hotel, Sunny City is a city that never sleeps, and there is no difference between night and day, so there is no need to go to the hotel to spend the night.
