Chapter 41: Candy City

The night is cold in the land outside the law, and the land with serious desertification cannot retain the temperature of the sun, so the temperature difference between day and night is very large.

This place is no longer within the scope of Grey Ridge, after all, their final destination is an oasis, and what happened in Grey Ridge in the past two days is a small episode for the two of them.

The turtledove, who couldn't sleep, opened his eyes, and saw that the little insect was still looking out the window, so he asked:

"What's the matter, you're still thinking about Grey Ridge?"

Even after three days, Worm still remembered Grey Ridge, and she had made many guesses about what might have happened there, but unfortunately those were just guesses, and she could no longer find any evidence from the ruins of Grey Ridge.

The worm looked back at the turtledove and nodded pitifully.

"Oh, don't dwell on those, okay."

The turtledove knew that the little worm couldn't eat or sleep well in the past two days, and deliberately made this appearance to make herself agree to one of her requests, but the turtledove couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to say:

"Okay, okay, I promise you, next time we pass by a place similar to Gray Ridge, I will definitely accompany you to investigate, and I will definitely not persuade you to take a detour."

"Retractor."

Hearing that the turtledove had finally agreed to his request, the little insect happily pounced on the turtledove and stretched out his little thumb.

The turtledove didn't move for a long time, this time a gray ridge made him and the little worm have a dirty face, and when facing the humanoid monster and the voice follower, the suffocating sense of crisis left a deep impression on the turtledove, not to mention that they were almost buried alive in the pit, and the turtledove really didn't want to experience that feeling again.

But the worm seemed particularly interested in investigating the of the new empire, and the turtledove looked at her face with the words "please" written on it, and sighed, - forget it, but she couldn't be strong.

"Now, don't go back on the hook," the little worm grinned and pulled out the map Galahad given her from under her seat, "You see, here, here, here, and here and here, you have to accompany me to investigate." ”

The turtledove rolled his eyes, and he couldn't wait to raise his hand and pump a few big mouths of himself.

……

"The matter of the investigation is not in a hurry," the turtledove said to the little worm, "we have to come step by step, we have been out for a while, and we should supply water or something, you first see if there is a place near where you can get clear water." ”

Worm found her and Turtledove's current location on the map, scanned the surroundings, and finally pointed with his hand: "How is this, Candy City." ”

"Candy City?"

The land outside the law is actually very large, and Turtledove has been wandering around the sphere of influence of Mouse City before, because he is not a fool, even if something happens in those places, as long as he reports Hannibal's name, it will be somewhat useful, if it is too far away from Mouse City, others may not give Hannibal this face.

So the turtledove has never been to Candy City, only heard that it is a small city under the influence of the "Vulture Castle", and the scale is not small.

Vulture Castle is a huge force that can compete with the wolf's den and the mouse city, and it belongs to the kind of existence that belongs to the behemoth in the land outside the law, so it is better for ordinary people not to provoke them.

But are turtledoves ordinary people? Of course, he is an ordinary person, but the little worm is not, she doesn't seem to have much fear of the vulture castle, and she suddenly hit the idea on the candy city covered by the vulture castle, this courage makes the turtledove have to give her a thumbs up.

"You're not afraid of death!"

That's what the turtle dove said about the insects.

"Young people, don't be so timid and afraid," the little worm said angrily, and patted the turtledove on the shoulder with pretended maturity, "You must dare to fight and fight, support the bold and starve the cowardly, you are so timid, don't say that you are mixed with me in the future." ”

Turtledove was amused by her appearance, clapped her hands, and Turtledove said: "Nacheng, let's lock the candy city at our next stop, and when we get there, I have to take a good look at what means you have, and I have to see how bold you are." ”

Suddenly, the worm's expression became serious.

The turtledove thought that he didn't say a good word, which made the little worm angry, so he also restrained his smile and stretched his neck, and the turtledove asked the little worm tentatively:

"What's wrong with you?"

"I remember I haven't thanked you yet."

The worm spoke solemnly, and the turtledove listened confusedly.

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for not leaving me behind when you were in the Dirt Ridge Pits."

"Do you remember this?"

The turtledove replied with a grin, and after a moment he noticed that the worm still maintained a serious expression, and then said to the worm:

"Actually, it's not a big deal, you little girl is so light, to be honest, I can bring you up with one hand, so how to say it, let it pass."

"Okay."

The worm regained her smile, she was solemn one moment, and the next moment she let the matter pass so happily, Turtledove thought that she would say two words of thanks, but he didn't expect that the worm was indeed not something he could figure out.

"You're not saying anything more?"

The turtledove waited for the worm to thank him, but the worm blinked twice, and replied as if he didn't understand:

"Say what?"

"Say thank you!"

"Didn't you say this was over?"

"Yes, but you haven't thanked me yet!"

"I found out, you are not only timid, but also small-minded, what did you say earlier that this matter has passed, and now you want me to thank you, what are you going to make trouble?"

"Okay, okay, if you don't thank you, don't thank you, then next time you encounter something like this, don't blame me for running away by myself then."

"You dare!"

……

On the outskirts of Candy City grows a huge cactus field, which can grow up to an exaggerated height of more than 20 meters, and from a distance, it seems that you have come to the Kingdom of Giants.

These cacti not only provide food for the inhabitants of Candy City, but also provide them with a sweet drink, plus the cactus honey produced during the flowering season, which gives the candy the name of Candy City.

In charge of Candy City is a white man named Calvin, who is a subordinate of the "One-Eyed Vulture", the boss of the Vulture Castle, who is especially fond of sweets from Candy City, and occasionally comes here to taste something new.

Like Mouse City, the main roads into Candy City are guarded by heavily armed warriors, who stand in groups near the roadcar, the leader holding a cup of cactus juice in his hand, watching the vehicles coming and going in and out of Candy City.

One of them is a modified pickup truck carrying turtledoves and bugs.
