In this world, straight-line distances are probably the farthest distances.

Walking a thousand kilometers southeast from the Western Regions is just a great geographical ladder, and the altitude drops sharply. This means that the terrain is varied and the canyon is full of crevasses.

Thanks to the Earthladus overhead, it brings about tectonic plate movements, tearing the earth apart and adding infinite variables to the terrain already full of canyons, mountains, and cliffs.

If there was a highway, Zheng Yi would indeed be able to reach that ghost town in nine hours.

However, there is no such thing as a highway in this world, only a private road that exists in the minds of old drivers.

The private road is a secret that is not passed on, and it is useless to recognize someone as a father.

Several times, Zheng Yi almost fell off the cliff and had to slow down. Eventually, after driving at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour for nine hours, the chocobo broke into a ghost town that was not marked on the map and was 200 kilometers away from the nearest shelter.

The discovery of this ghost town was purely accidental.

Zheng Yi first sensed a murderous aura. Following the murderous aura, he found a sniper position disguised as a hill. The Sniper's spirit betrayed him, a Sequence 7 master.

For a moment, Zheng Yi wanted to take out his shield and equip it, but after thinking about it, he still properly hung a spiritual fire on himself, and then cautiously drove at a slower speed. It was this caution that allowed him to see a fork in the road that he would miss if he didn't know it.

From the fork down to the valley floor, there is a cave.

Zheng Yi was anxious to get rid of the sniper's gaze, and also needed a place to eat dinner and spend the night, and without hesitation, he rode the landing bird down. It wasn't until he reached the mouth of the cave that he thought of a question: how could a sniper grow out of nowhere in the wilderness?

Then he saw two Sequence 8 standing in the shadow of the cave and said to him:

"Entrance fee."

Judging by their stature and posture, their weapon is an automatic rifle.

Zheng Yi took out a square glass bottle from the side box, and inside was clear water.

"Glass bottles won't work." Another voice said.

In the desert wasteland, glass is cheaper than plastic, and sand is burned. In Annu-Tassamet, glass is also cheap – where there is a gap between hells, there will always be a lot of glass crystals. The craftsmen there don't even need to process the raw materials, and they can make high-quality utensils by simply heating the drawings.

"Superior water." Zheng Yi shook it and made a gurgling sound.

Secondary water is turbid, but drinkable water;

The first-class water is clean water, which allows a little reagent odor;

The special water is the water used in the mansion of the executive in the city.

It doesn't smell like anything, it's sweet in the mouth, and it's hard currency that's harder than money.

Zheng Yi poured a few bottles and put them in the side box, originally for money on the road.

A high roller who can take out the best water will not take a chance, and the sniper who is in charge of observation above also says: This is a messenger.

Two strong men came out of the shadows, and sure enough, they were hanging automatic rifles.

"Welcome back." They thought that Zheng Yi had come more than once, otherwise they would not be so familiar with the road, and they would not be so on the road.

Zheng Yi uses a big blue square bottle, and the unit of measurement of Annu-Tasamet is 10 ounces, which is about the same as a bottle of mineral water in his hometown - about 300 milliliters.

Such a bottle of premium water can be respected by the whole city.

After getting the special water, a smile appeared on the two swarthy faces, and they let Zheng Yi in, and at the same time enthusiastically told him that there was a chick in the black old dog's shack, and it was still very tender.

Zheng Yi gently twisted the throttle and let the chocobo drive into the cave. The cave is not spacious from the outside, but there is a cave inside, with a ceiling height of 5 meters and a width of more than 10 meters, which is simply a natural hall. If the crystal chandelier is installed, Zheng Yi will almost think that he has traveled to a five-star hotel.

In the shadows of the cave, many people were sleeping with their bunks unfurled. They don't have the money to go into the "city", and they spend less money, or a certain amount of labor, to make a living here.

The chocobo slowly moved inward, and the cavity of the cave began to shrink again, and finally shrunk to three meters wide and more than two meters high, where even the big warriors had to bow their heads.

Fortunately, Zheng Yi doesn't need it.

The checkpoint here has moved the sandbag and greeted Zheng Yi warmly:

"You're back."

"There's good meat on the side of the flower horse, it's original."

……

If Zheng Yi hadn't lost his memory, he would have thought he had been here.

After a minute of zigzag driving on a path, turning a corner, the stone walls on both sides squeezed into the middle, forming an isosceles triangle-like space, leaving only a narrow gap at the top.

In this ∧-shaped space, the lowest floor is crowded with tulou, with two floors as the majority, and three or four floors as not uncommon, with fires and lights inside.

The stone walls on both sides are artificially dug caves and passages, and the doorways are lit with electric lights, which are obviously much higher than the tulou below.

Between the two stone walls, there are iron cables connected to each other, and as long as the wooden planks are paved, it is a bridge.

This kind of "floor" carved in the stone wall expands upwards to the gaps. Zheng Yi raised his head, counting layer by layer, there were actually as many as ten floors.

Zheng Yi clicked on his watch, recorded the latitude and longitude here, and made a footnote: Walled City.

"Hey, brother, is there anything good?"

Two men with swords at their waists walked over. Their body shape is very normal, slightly shorter and thinner than Zheng Yi. The spirit is grass green and belongs to the auxiliary reconnaissance class, commonly known as the scout sequence.

Zheng Yi took out a bottle of premium water from the side box again and flipped it in his hand.

The eyes of the two lit up: "Brother, how to sell?" ”

Zheng Yi didn't say anything, and threw it directly at the one with the higher sequence among the two.

The Scout of Sequence 7 reached out and grabbed the square bottle in his hand, full of joy:

"I'm familiar with this place, I know whatever you want to ask."

Zheng Yi said: "Find a place first." ”

The scout hurriedly said, "You come with me!" ”

The two turned around and walked towards the earthen area.

Passing through the twisted streets, the two of them walked further and further to the side, eventually reaching a recess in the stone wall. There were several steel cables hanging from here, and the Scout tugged at the ropes attached to the stone wall, and the faint sound of bells could be heard from them. After a while, the motor sounded, and an iron cage-like elevator fell.

"My house is on the sixth floor." Sequence 7 Scout said with great pride. The younger brother next to him looks like him, but he is silent and very shy.

Zheng Yi saw a person in the cage, and Sequence 7 gave him a metal card, which should be the currency symbol here.

The man put away the sign and activated the elevator to the sixth floor.
