Chapter 074: History of Anping Town

The automobile cemetery, due to the erosion and weathering of the rain for many years, has become a pile of iron oxide in most places, and it is red. At the bottom of the car cemetery, there are countless large and small caves. In addition to a considerable number of foreign beasts, there are still a considerable number of caves that are not approached by foreign beasts for some reason, which is indeed very puzzling. There are also long-distance travelers who pass by the car cemetery at night and see some mysterious phenomena such as sudden flashes of light that occur in the cemetery.

These were all heard by Ling Yu when he was in Wulinwan Village. Ulin Bay people, adults and children, will never set foot here.

Ling Yu didn't want to explore at this time, he wanted to arrive in Anping Town as soon as possible and start a new life of reinventing himself, where he wanted to seek a strong path and seek justice for Wulin Bay! Every time he thought of Wulinwan, his eyes became extremely cold, he forgot the fatigue, forgot the pain, and the steps under his feet became unusually brisk.

When dusk came again, Ling Yu was already standing less than a kilometer away from the west gate of Anping City.

At sunset, the towering Anping city wall is dyed with golden light. On the thirty-meter-high city wall, the guards of the city patrol team kept coming and going, and the guard badge could see the glittering reflection even if Ling Yu was thousands of meters away.

Two black laser turrets with a height of more than ten meters stood on the city walls on both sides of the city gate, and two silver-white C-class laser main guns raised their heads coldly, looking at the sky, as if they would shoot the most deadly rays at the alien beasts that rushed into the airspace at any time.

Laser cannons are generally divided into three levels of ABC, and A-level laser cannons can theoretically destroy all alien beasts below the silver star. B-level laser cannon can completely destroy the alien beasts below the Venus, and the C-level naturally refers to the total destruction of the alien beasts below the star level, including the Golden Five-Star powerhouse.

But in fact, it is not that powerful. The higher the level of the laser cannon, the longer the energy storage time, the C-class laser cannon can be fired continuously at an interval of up to five minutes, while the A-class laser cannon can only be charged for one minute. The two silver-white big guys in front of them are naturally C-level products, and they are probably ready to be used against the Venus beasts.

Although the gate of Anping City is much smaller than that of Jin'an City, it still has a different kind of majesty, and in Ling Yu's opinion, its popularity is still very high.

In the evening breeze, the city gate was very lively, not so much lively, but rather a little panic and uneasiness in it. These uneasiness may come from the panic of some legends. One is that ten years later will be the destruction of the earth again, and the other is that in the next few days, there will be strange beasts attacking Anping Town. Although the Empire's loudspeakers repeatedly emphasized that these were rumors, people's hearts were still very heavy, and it seemed that they were overwhelmed by one existential crisis after another.

The square outside the door is full of traffic, from large hotels and restaurants, transfer centers, to small shop stalls, and goods bearers, and the cries of selling are continuous. All kinds of vehicles and people shuttle to and fro with the constantly rising dust. Rich, BMW fragrant cars swagger through the market, majestic; The poor, ragged and hurried by, and the cannibals, and the eaters, gathered here, and then hurried away in their respective directions, and disappeared.

With the bustling flow of people into the city, Ling Yu's current dress can be described as a veritable image of a flower child, he is dressed shabby and unfitting, his face is greasy, and the wind and dust are simple, and he slowly walked into Anping City under the disdainful eyes of the guards guarding the city.

"Get out of the way!" Ling Yu had just walked into the city gate when someone suddenly shouted loudly behind him, "Where is the hospital!" ”

Ling Yu hurriedly dodged, and when he looked back, he saw a group of more than a dozen people hurriedly separating the flow of people, and running towards the city with anxious faces. More than a dozen people were dressed in the camouflage uniforms of ordinary hunting teams, all of them were sturdy, with long knives on their backs, and their faces were full of anxiety. For each of them, they carried a makeshift stretcher made of green branches, and the leaves on it swayed uncontrollably as they ran

On these stretchers lay wounded people in the same clothes, as if they were the wounded of a hunting party.

"Up front, what's wrong?!" A passer-by asked.

"Damn, the beast is here! There are also giants and civets, and the people of Dayang Village are all finished! A man in camouflage uniform, led by a man in camouflage, separated the passers-by in front of him with one hand, and hurried in with the group.

Ling Yu looked at the injured on the stretcher, all of them were not lightly injured. There are not a few people who have lost their limbs and arms, and there is also a middle-aged man with a pale face covered in blood, whose two arms have long been missing, and his body is like noodles shaking uncontrollably with the jolting of the stretcher, and he seems to be dead.

An even stronger atmosphere of uneasiness stirred among the pedestrians. Everyone watched in horror as the group walked towards the city, and then began to talk. Then some people left peacefully, while others hurried to the depths of Anping City, as if to report the news as soon as possible.

Ling Yu watched the group disappear into the distance before slowly retracting his gaze. He shook his head, dragged his tired body, and walked towards Pingxi Park in Anping Town.

Very early on, Ling Yu heard that there is a stone statue here, the owner of the stone statue is named Anping, people who come and go here are all here to pay respects, Ling Yu inquired several times, came to Pingxi Park, he really wanted to see the remains of this brave old man.

Pingxi Park, built on a small lake in the southwest corner of Anping City, although it is already early spring at this time, half of the lake is still frozen, and the icy spring breeze sweeps across the lake, rippling layers of ripples.

In Pingxi Park at dusk, two gray-haired old men are wiping a white marble sculpture with two white towels. Seeing Ling Yu coming, the two old men stopped and smiled at Ling Yu, and Ling Yu also smiled back at the two old men.

The stone statue in front of you is about three meters high, carved from white marble and polished to a smooth finish. The stone statue is of an old man in his sixties, dressed in a formal suit, with a peaceful face, quietly looking at the lake and the birds shuttling back and forth.

Anping City, also known as Anping Town, is a very small town-level city with a population of more than 200,000. It is said that more than 50 years ago, Changyin County in the south of Saitai Mountain was captured by the Barro people, and more than 100,000 people fled to a place more than 30 kilometers north of Changtai City, where they gathered behind a large forest and lived.

Under the leadership of a silver powerhouse named Anping, they cut down trees and pioneered production, and gradually formed a simple small city, everyone took the name of Anping, constituting the name of the place, hoping that this place will always be safe, and the life of the fugitives has gradually settled down.

After 30 years, after continuous construction, Anping Town has begun to take shape, and a large number of immigrants have moved into the city.

More than twenty years ago, the Nine Heavens Empire sent people here to forcibly expropriate Anping Town and take it under the Empire's ownership. Anping did not hesitate to hand over the management and the command of the guards. The empire then added an administrative structure, rebuilt the city walls, and added a large number of buildings, and the town of Anping appeared in the territory of the empire.

Poor Anping, an old man who is nearly eighty years old. Because it affected Anping Town for thirty years, the empire was afraid that his influence was too strong, and soon after recovering Anping Town, he was arrested on the charge of rebellion.

The people rose up to fight, and some of them wanted to rebel against the Nine Heavens Empire and flee with the old man Anping. The old man, fearing that too many people would be affected, refused the request.

A month later, the old man Anping was secretly executed by the Empire, but his body was never found. For this reason, Anping City launched its first large-scale rebellion since its founding, a large number of protectors and imperial officials were secretly killed, and the mayor's office building also inexplicably caught fire. The townspeople once drove away the officials and protectors sent by the empire, and the emperor Zhu Long was furious, and finally sent two brigades of the protectors, totaling more than 40,000 people, to Anping Town, and the people of Anping were finally forcibly suppressed by the empire.

In order to commemorate him, the people carved a stone statue of him, and the empire forcibly destroyed it. The people remodeled, and this led to an unprecedented conflict, in which hundreds of people and more than a hundred protectors of the empire were killed. Eventually, the empire relented and built Pingxi Park to the west of Anping Town, with stone statues placed by the lake. This history, which was not mentioned by the empire, was never written in the official history books, but it was widely circulated among the people.

The residents of Anping Town have a firm memory of this history, they do not have a good impression of the empire and Zhulong, and they even have a tendency to rebel in their bones. As time went by, there were fewer and fewer old townspeople, and those who kept fleeing also learned about this period of imperial history. Today, the people of Anping have not forgotten it.

The residents of Anping Town equated the management officials sent by the empire with the underworld forces.

Although it has gone through 20 years of wind and rain, the stone statue is as clean as new, and there is no trace of dust, which shows how lofty the status of this indomitable pioneer is in the hearts of the people of Anping Town, and they would rather give their lives for a statue.

Ling Yu sighed slowly, respectfully bowed to the stone statue three times, and under the respectful gaze of the two old men, he walked towards the street.

When the twilight was bright and the street lights were on, Ling Yu's figure was already wandering on the Xingyun Street in Anping Town. The lively streets often make Ling Yu have the illusion that he is on the streets of Jin'an City. He walked a little further along Xingyun Avenue and then turned north. As soon as they left Xingyun Street, the flow of people immediately became scarce. It was only then that he felt that he had truly come to Anping City.

It was getting dark, Ling Yu was walking on a remote path in the east of the city, at this time his spirit was tense all the time, and now as soon as he relaxed, he suddenly felt very sleepy and tired, it was the kind of mental exhaustion that came from the heart.

He reluctantly stood in place and thought for a while, thinking of the more than 10,000 yuan he earned from selling wolf skins, and he felt a little confident in his heart. He was going to get a bite to eat, then find an inn to rest for the night, and then think about where he was going tomorrow.

He was just about to turn around and return to Xingyun Street, when he suddenly smelled the aroma of steamed buns. After eating half-cooked barbecue for three months in a row, Ling Yu became extremely sensitive when he smelled the aroma of steamed buns, and he followed the taste and walked forward.

Not far ahead, next to a dilapidated brick house, a dim light bulb was listless, and a white broken wooden sign hung next to it, on which were crookedly written a few black characters: "Lao Zhao Mantou"

"Well, I'll eat steamed buns tonight!" Ling Yu muttered to himself, a flash of joy on his face that he hadn't seen for many days. He bothered himself and walked briskly to the front of the store.
