"Luo Wei, there are some things I have to make clear to you." Arnold suddenly stopped, turned around, and said seriously, "You should also know that there are two worlds inside and outside the wall, and the wasteland outside the wall is borderland, the law of the jungle, the strong is king, as long as you have the strength, you can do your own thing, but the inside of the wall is different!" There is a remnant of the social order of the old era, there are people who are high and low, there are high and low classes, and there are also laws that belong to the city, so don't make trouble here! Even if you see something that doesn't please you, you can't be impulsive. ”

"Yes." Luo Wei's answer is still concise, making people wonder if it is perfunctory.

Arnold didn't nag anymore, and he didn't think Luo Wei should be the kind of person who would meddle with things, so he smiled helplessly: "But don't be too nervous, compared to the dangerous wilderness, this place is simply too safe." ”

Arnold walked to the city gate with Luo Wei, a large gate made of composite metal, specially designed to resist the impact of mutated creatures, weighing dozens of tons, a hundred night demons smashed their heads without a trace, but its surface was a little rusty by the acid rain of the wilderness, and the copper red color of the patches was a little retro.

Behind the metal gate is a wooden door, which acts as a buffer and isolates the line of sight, as Arno said, there are two worlds inside and outside the wall, if there is hell outside the wall, then heaven is inside the wall, and the people who live in heaven obviously do not want to look directly at the view of hell, which will make them uneasy.

Therefore, whether it is a city wall or a city gate, in addition to defense, it actually has the purpose of blocking the line of sight.

Arnold walked to the city gate, pressed a button, then looked at a monitor overhead and waved his hand.

The surveillance camera moved, focusing on Arnold's face.

Two minutes later, the wooden door on the inner layer was opened, but the heavy iron gate was still unmoving, two soldiers in black military uniforms stood behind the door, one of them saluted Arnold, his originally rigid face quickly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Arnold, you have succeeded again, but your hand..."

"It's enough to come back alive, a hand is nothing." Arnold smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a pity that I couldn't bring those children back with me." ”

"Get out of the city walls and die or die, I'm sure they won't blame you." The soldier's eyes first revealed a little vicissitudes and gloom, and he just wanted to let people open the iron gate, when he suddenly focused his attention on Luo Wei, and asked suspiciously, "Who is this?" ”

Arnold tried his best to show himself relaxed, and said with a smile: "A companion, I met on this mission, without him, I wouldn't be able to come back, he is my savior." ”

"That is, not the inhabitants of Dawn City." The soldier nodded, pointed at Luo Wei, and said, "Put the girl on your back down, take off the cloak, take off the bandage..."

Before the soldier could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze, he stared blankly at the pair of red eyes under the shadow of the cloak, for a moment, he felt that what he saw was not a pair of human eyes, but the fierce eyes of the beast that exuded a bloodthirsty red glow, and then he even hallucinated, as if he saw a hideous and terrifying huge mouth rushing out of the shadows, and the fangs sharper than the blade smashed into the iron door, and bit his head with a terrible scream.

When the soldier came back to his senses, he was covered in cold sweat, and the pitch-black uniform looked as if it had just been fished out of the water, and it could even be wrung out of the water.

Arnold, who is good at human feelings, is better at capturing the changes in expression, he knows that this soldier is shocked by the coercion on Luo Wei's body, or the unique coercion of every wilderness lone wolf, he quickly broke the silence: "Hahaha, brother, we came by marching overnight, you see that he also carried a little girl, he was already tired, those procedural things are not avoided, can't you still believe me Arnold?" ”

The soldier kept wiping the cold sweat overflowing from his head, and he almost subconsciously pulled out his gun just now, and said in a low voice: "Arnold, you should know the rules." ”

"The rules are dead, people are alive, I won't tell you, this guy looks a little ugly, and he cares more about his appearance, so he covers his face, you have to ask people to take off their cloaks, then both parties are not happy, right?" After Arnold finished speaking, the thief took out a cigarette from his arms, put it in front of the soldier with glowing eyes through the gap in the gate, and said with a smile, "Come on, come on, early morning pick-me-up, I have treasured this treasure for a long time, and today I will cheapen you guy." ”

After a brief hesitation that was negligible, the soldier smiled meaningfully and took Arnold's cigarette.

There is a complete biosphere in the wall of life, and many crops can be grown, but due to the harsh cultivation conditions of tobacco, the annual output is very small, and only the upper nobles can afford to enjoy it, and they can't see a single one in a year, and they can't even smell second-hand smoke, at this time Arnold suddenly took out a cigarette, it was like an adolescent virgin in front of a girl.

In addition, the registration of entering the city was a routine matter, and there was a first-class acquaintance like Arnold, so the soldier didn't say anything more, and after taking the cigarette, he let people open the floodgates, and then smiled at Arnold: "Arnold, one yard is one yard, it's okay to let go, but the rules in the city..."

"Don't worry, I've already told him." Arnold patted his chest and reassured.

"That's good." The soldier nodded, and after he cautiously glanced at Luo Wei and confirmed that the other party was not hostile, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in as calm a tone as possible , "Traveler of the wilderness, welcome to Dawn City of Marquis Charles. ”

After walking away, Arnold smiled at Luo Wei and said: "See, this is the power of human affection, you said that you want to be alone, you can enter this city gate today?" ”

Luo Wei didn't know if he was thinking about the scene of the city gate letting him go, and after being silent for a while, he asked, "When did the republic adopt the feudal title system?" And let foreigners govern the city? ”

After entering the city, Arnold relaxed a lot, and after whistling, his whistle froze after hearing Luo Wei's question, and he squinted and asked, "Republic?" Brother, are you serious? ”

"What's wrong?"

Arnold was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed, revealing an indissoluble sadness in his words: "The former state system has long since collapsed, and now the organization that commands the borders is called 'Republic of Glory', which is composed of the army that survived the first year of the collapse, and has been absorbing talents and evolutionaries from all walks of life for several years, and finally established the dominance of the country. Now the so-called title system is only set up to adapt to this troubled era, after all, the whole world has become primitive and barbaric, and it is difficult for a once fair and civilized set to operate. ”

"As for the Marquis of Charles..."Arnold's eyes sank a little, with a touch of grievance and unwillingness, and said in a low voice, "In the first year of the collapse, our country's elite troops fought all out in order to cover the people, and the national system was the first in the world to collapse, and it was difficult to rebuild after the disaster, so we could only negotiate with North America to let them station troops in the territory and help with the construction, and the condition was to set aside a part of the city for them to govern." ”

"This is a disguised land cession clause." Luo Wei frowned and sniffed the taste of humiliation.

Arnold lowered his head: "Yes, but there is no choice, if you don't do this, everyone will have to wander in the wilderness, there will be no wall of life you see, there will be no city, and there will not be so many people alive." ”

"So... Our former country..."

"It's gone."
