Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Divine Capital
Time passed, and after they had walked more than ten kilometers in the middle of the night, there were more people along the road, some of them were driving in twos and threes, and they had just returned from the wilderness.
Looking further into the distance, you can see a huge gathering of buildings in the heart of the city. The original collapsed abandoned buildings were occupied by tents one after another, densely packed, and there was no edge in sight.
The outermost part is a fence and fence made of walls and stones, and if you go inside, you can see a huge city similar to the base city of Quancheng, but this city is several times that of the base city of Quancheng.
"It's... It's spectacular! Behind them, Chu Yang and Zhang Tieniu were a little stunned and extremely excited. And Midnight just smiled and didn't say anything.
As one of the medium-sized gathering places, the Shendu has almost reached the scale of tens of millions of people in the late apocalypse, and if it grows larger, it will be comparable to a large gathering place, but because the gods do not have a large black crystal vein, they have not been promoted to a large gathering place until they are destroyed.
Now it seems that it has not been long since the establishment of the Shendu, and the system is still under construction, and the number of people is close to two million, you know, when the last life came in the middle of the night, there were no tents here at all, and the houses built according to the base city were crowded, and it was simply a sea of buildings.
The Divine Capital is also the same as the base city of Quancheng, which was built according to the city left before the end of the world, plus those tents erected and some buildings that have not collapsed, the area is very large, divided into the city of God, the inner city and the outskirts.
The Divine City can only be inhabited by those who are of great status or have great power, so most of them live in the inner city and the outer city.
Although the establishment of the god capital is not very long, because it has only been about two months since the end of the world, and many things have not been completed, but even so, it is no different from a city, with all kinds of shops and some equipment from other places that can function without electricity.
However, there is one point, and that is food, which is as scarce as ever, and there is no food that can be grown at all, so we can only barely survive on what is left over from before the end of the world.
But Midnight knows that the problem of food will be broken through in a while, and 'Night Rice' will also come out, and the food crisis will be solved.
Of course, Midnight is very familiar with the gods, and although it has been here for a long time, many things still do not change, such as now, when entering the city requires registration.
Midnight took Xin'er to complete the registration with ease, in order to avoid some trouble, Midnight did not show ability, so he did not obtain the identity of the god seed, and before entering the city, he was separated from Chu Yang and them. Alone with Xin'er into the city.
As for Chu Yang, they were not surprised, the shining mark on their forehead clearly indicated their identity as a god, and they easily entered the city, and also obtained a golden armband, on which a brilliant city was engraved.
After entering the city, Midnight took Xin'er to act alone, and as for Chu Yang, they were respectfully invited into the inner city after they showed their identity as first-order or even second-order gods according to Midnight's plan.
"Those outsiders are so lucky, they actually entered the inner city just after they came!" Outside the steel city wall, some people looked at Chu Yang and the others who walked into the city and said with envy.
"No way, who called them gods, there is power and privilege, people are really angry compared to people, why don't I wake up?!" One of them clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
Not far away, Midnight glanced at it casually and then withdrew his gaze, letting Chu Yang and them enter the inner city, naturally asking them to find out the situation first, so that at least they wouldn't have a black eye and didn't know anything.
And the first thing Midnight has to do right now is to find a place to stay, and he can't let Xin'er sleep on the ground.
"With Kitty and Spider watching the truck, it should be fine." Midnight thought to himself, with the eaglet and the spider here, he believed that no one would come to fight his car, even if there was Sombra inside, they would have to weigh whether they had their lives or not, and as for the monsters, it was even more unlikely that they would be their opponents.
But you still can't take it lightly, the most in the last days is an accident, so Midnight must have a force of its own in the gods as soon as possible, so that at least those black crystals will have a place to put them, and then they will absorb the black crystals to practice the exercises that Xiao Hei gave him, in the last days, improving the strength is the first place.
On the periphery of the Shendu, most of them are tents, many buildings have collapsed, and only some small buildings remain, and most of them are occupied by large and small forces, and it is quite a troublesome thing to find a satisfactory residence.
As for the inner city, don't even think about it, the first condition for entering the inner city is the ability to awaken, that is, to become a god seed, and the god seed needs money to buy it if you want to live in it.
And this money is the black coin issued by the gods, after all, there are not many black crystals found by the gods, and many of them are used by those gods to enhance their strength, and it is obviously not time to use black crystals as currency, and now there is no connection between the gathering places, and the currency or something is naturally impossible to be completely unified.
However, Midnight knows that with the gradual expansion of the role of black crystal, it has become a trend for black crystal to become a currency in the future, which is impossible to change.
The periphery has always been the place where the entrances gather the most, and when you walk on the road, you can see stalls and shops on both sides, selling all kinds of swords, guns, ammunition, and even materials on various monsters. and leather armor forged from the materials on the monster's body.
However, there is very little food for sale, and even if there is a price, it is very expensive, and there are people with great power behind them, otherwise the food is placed on the side of the road, and those who are starved and half-dead have no force to deter them, and it is strange not to rob them.
There is a place called Shenxing in the Divine Capital, which has almost the same role as the bank before the end of the world, a place for deposits and withdrawals, and because the Divine Walk is jointly established by several of the strongest forces in the Divine Capital, there is naturally no need to worry about security.
However, Midnight wasn't going to trade Sombra for the Sombra. As for not having any money on him, he has a way to get it. Looking at the few people walking in front of him, Midnight couldn't help but smile, no, isn't someone sending money over now?
"Boy, look at you just here, let me tell you, this street is a place covered by my worms, didn't there be a saying before, you need to pay a toll to cross the road!" The thin young man in front of him, dressed in black leather armor, with a pistol pinned to his waist, and a large knife in his hand, plus several younger brothers with machetes behind him, if ordinary people saw it, they would definitely be so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. It's just that Midnight is not an ordinary person.
Naturally, this street can't be covered with insects, you must know that there are several restaurants here, and there is a strong force behind it. As for Worm Three, he is just a gangster, and he lives by robbing the old and weak women and children on weekdays.
Today he came to this street according to the usual practice to see if he could find a few jobs that could be done, who knew that not long after he arrived, he encountered the middle of the night. Now he only felt that pies would really fall from the sky, but this pie had to be picked up quickly, otherwise it would be snatched away, so he rushed over without thinking about anything.
Because of the dusty journey for several days and nights, Midnight's clothes were already tattered, and the Tang knife on his waist was also wrapped in rags, and he didn't bring a gun, so he looked like a beggar refugee on the surface.
If that's okay, those who like to rob will hardly leave their eyes on Midnight's body, but the most important thing is Xin'er next to her, although her face is covered by mud, but the alluring and perfect curves are very attractive, especially some unintentionally exposed white skin is added to a charming charm.
Worm San will only do it when he sees Xin'er, such a top-notch product, after playing by himself, at least he can sell for hundreds of black coins, which is clearly a pie!
"What do you want?" Midnight looked at him and said with a smile.
"You don't look like you're rich, so let's just let the little girl next to you come with me and do some short-term work to compensate for the toll." Worm San's face was extremely generous.
Hearing Worm San say this, Midnight had no intention of playing, his face turned around, and he said coldly: "What if I don't agree?!" ”
"Haha, don't agree? Then you go to die! Although Worm San was surprised by the cold light that suddenly appeared in Midnight, he didn't think much about it, whether he looked horizontally or vertically, this person was clearly a refugee, but in order to prevent accidents, he directly took out his pistol, pointed it at Midnight's forehead, and pressed the trigger.
The people around shook their heads and didn't say anything, they had seen too much of this kind of thing, and they were already numb, just because they felt a little sad for the two people who had just come.
Why bother, recklessness will only give his life, although he will suffer incomparably if he agrees, but at least people are still alive, as long as they are alive, there will always be hope, and they are not afraid of no firewood to burn!
(PS: Midnight has finally arrived in the divine capital, and then there will be another bloody storm, please come to some recommendation votes for Midnight Boss to support, if you don't be careful, he will control you with the power of control!!) Hey!! O(∩_∩)O~~)
