CHAPTER XV

Su Yuan never thought that he was smart, how much better than the people in this world, and so on. But he knew that he could at least see farther than the people of this wasteland. Because his mind has not yet been transformed into a wasteland mind, and he has not yet exhausted all his wisdom for survival. He was also able to think wildly about problems that others didn't have time to imagine. For example, that it.

Of course, he only has some ideas now, and the specific results still need a lot of clues to support. Although Ethan didn't know what Su Yuan wanted to do, he still chose to support him. After a year of training and fighting, they have already established a stable enough relationship of trust.

The Black Tower is not far from the valley where they are located. This is also for the sake of safety, at least there will be no large-scale orc groups here. It took the two of them about a day to reach the last place in the world that could be called a city.

Chaotic and disorderly, this was Su Yuan's first feeling. As a young man who came out of a peaceful era and a strong country. This was his first impression of the city in front of him.

The construction of a city is very complex and complex. In general, it takes the joint efforts of countless talented people, the planning of almost countless problems, and finally the gradual construction of several generations. But the city in front of you is a messy pile of garbage.

In addition to the center of the city, there are several decent buildings. The rest was full of the kind of chaotic shantytowns. All kinds of stacking, all kinds of interspersing, Su Yuan felt that an unfamiliar person walked in, and ninety percent of them had to get lost directly.

However, the defense system around the city is okay. A whole circle of walls composed of various spliced steel plates, barbed wire, and steel pipes encloses the entire city in the middle with almost no dead ends. Outside the city, there are also a large number of retail investors who depend on the city to survive.

It wasn't until he saw the city that Su Yuan really felt what the wasteland world was like. The inhabitants who were ragged and had a fierce glint in their eyes from time to time. Those unscrupulous thugs with weapons in their hands, brawling around the city. The screams, the cries, the shouts that echoed everywhere. Hundreds of meters away, it had already begun to pour into Su Yuan's ears.

However, Su Yuan quickly shifted his gaze. Because as he got closer, the Black Tower was giving him a more striking visual experience.

There is no doubt that it was a very large building, taking on a kind of polyhedral geometry. The diameter is about fifty meters. It doesn't sound like much, but if you walk inside, you can really feel the pressure. Because it's just too high.

Su Yuan had never seen the Empire State Building and didn't know what the tallest building on earth looked like. He also had no sense of the height of the building in front of him, as he couldn't see the top at all. The so-called straight into the sky is the scene in front of you.

Ethan had apparently been here more than once and had no feeling for it. He led Su Yuan to the door, where two guards stopped them. The other party's eyes looked at the two of them unscrupulously. The guns in their hands were even more unabashedly aimed at them. It shows a naked greed, a gaze that sees a fat sheep.

"The Revenant? Do you know the rules? Now the charges have been doubled. ”

One of them asked. However, Ethan simply ignored him. He pulled out a small cloth bag, which contained various orc teeth or other iconic bone organs. He didn't even look at it, and threw it all to the other party casually. The guard opened it and looked at it, and the whole person was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly gestured to his companion, who seemed to understand something. Quickly opened the door and let them in.

Su Yuan walked in behind Ethan with an inexplicable expression.

"What is this? Toll collection? ”

"Sort of. But we don't have to. There is an independent monetary system here, and we don't have either. The iconic organs of the orcs, such as the fangs of werewolves and the venom of snakemen, can be exchanged for merit. And the merits can be exchanged for currency in the city, or directly exchanged for food, weapons and so on. And merit is also the main way to elevate status. For those warriors in the lower echelons, those things are much more important than money. At least ten people saw the scene just now, and those two people didn't survive tonight. ”

Su Yuan: "......" Ethan, you are also a black-bellied character.

Walk through the streets of this cluttered city. The two unfamiliar faces of them soon attracted the attention of countless people. All kinds of dark, greedy, and unmeaning eyes scanned the two of them from various angles. This made Su Yuan feel uncomfortable. And a lot of it is clearly malicious.

A year of continuous battles made Su Yuan's intuition extremely sharp. His whole body tensed instinctively, and his hand was already pressed against the pistol at his waist.

"Don't be nervous, no guns are allowed in the city. They just want to provoke you. Follow me, and we'll be almost there. ”

Su Yuan took a few deep breaths, barely suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and followed Ethan through the shantytown. After paying the toll again, they entered the center of the city. It's in that real complex.

This is undoubtedly where the 'upper class' lived. No matter where it is, as long as there are people living in a cluster, this phenomenon of grading will inevitably occur. And the order here is obviously much more stable. Patrols in some sort of uniform can be seen constantly. There were also some more angry people on the faces of the passers-by.

The two of them made their way through the center of town to the innermost part of the city. At this time, Su Yuan noticed that in fact, the center of the city was still separated from the real Black Tower.

It was a circular barrier with a radius of about 50 meters. There was nothing in between, and there was a circle of watchtowers full of gunmen.

"The Black Tower is an absolute no-no here, as long as someone crosses the line without warning, those guards will shoot directly. The rulers here know that the Black Tower is the center of everything, so they go to great lengths to keep everything intact. Come with me, the library is here, we're almost there. ”
