Chapter 151: City!
It has been two days since Zhang Yimin and Qian Chenglin left the car.
The desert area of the Central Continent is much smaller than that of the Western Continent, and the orc area here is much more extensive and relatively abundant in rain.
In the past two days, they have walked very carefully, and they have found many traces of human passing on the edge of the desert, and even found a lane that winds straight into the mountains!
The two of them stayed as far away from the road as possible, and slowly walked along the mountain in the direction of the point of light, and finally found a hidden cave, and then set out on the journey with the necessities on their backs.
In the past two days, the two of them have not encountered any human beings, and even small animals are very few, which makes Zhang Yimin very depressed, originally he planned to eat some pure natural meat here, but now he can only live by nibbling on artificial food!
Qian Chenglin followed behind Zhang Yimin and kept looking around.
The two of them were now in a bush, and in her experience, there should be a lot of critters in this kind of place!
Large carnivores can't get in, so it's usually a playground for small animals.
Listening to Zhang Yimin muttering something in front, Qian Chenglin couldn't help but chuckle.
Although Zhang Yimin has always called her a girl, and he is much stronger than her in doing things and planning anything, but when he encounters this kind of small trouble, he is very impatient, and ignores him at the moment, just blindly probing around, hoping to find something to stop him from [a _ _ read _ " novel.
It was a hassle to walk through the bushes, but there was no way for two men, it was too far to get around this large area of bushes.
Zhang Yimin sighed, turned his head to look at Qian Chenglin, and was about to beckon her to take a break, but saw her bend down and rush straight to the left.
Zhang Yimin was startled, the dagger was already in his hand, and he could only hear a bush shaking, and he just wanted to follow, Qian Chenglin's cheers had already sounded, thinking that she had hit some prey.
At dinner, the two of them ate fragrant barbecue, and studied the locator again, the green space in the central continent is much larger than that in the western area, but along the way, there are too few small animals here, which is not normal.
"There are only two reasons for the lack of animals, one is that there are relatively few in the first place, and the second is that they are all shot up!" Zhang Yimin wiped a handful of oil from the corner of his mouth and said.
Qian Chenglin had already eaten enough, and was leaning against a big tree, watching his movements and laughing, "In the Western District, the closer you are to the Orc City, the fewer animals there are, is there such a large range of orcs here?" ”
"It's hard to say, although we haven't encountered a village along the way, maybe there is not far ahead, if according to the current satellite image, the entire center of this central continent is green, if such a large area is controlled by orcs, then." Zhang Yimin shook his head and didn't say any more.
Qian Chenglin's eyes widened, "No! How many people must be here? ”
Zhang Yimin smiled bitterly, "I don't know, there is no information on the Internet!" But looking at that lane, it shouldn't be, could it be that this place has been emptied by humans? ”
Qian Chenglin shook her head, "Where are there so many cultivators!" I guess the orcs did it! ”
Zhang Yimin nodded, except for cultivators, ordinary people can't eat this kind of pure natural meat.
His heart suddenly moved, "Could it be that those people at the base did it?" ”
After thinking about it, he shook his head again, this place is too far from the base, even if he hunts, he can't get here!
The sky has already darkened, two sets of Tai Chi down, Zhang Yimin felt a lot more relaxed, and put the siren around the big stone platform, this is the equipment bought when he came out this time, the effective range is nearly thirty meters, so that the safety and security when resting at night is much greater.
Qian Chenglin's side also slowly closed the style, looked at Zhang Yimin and smiled, and the two of them went into the tent to rest.
The mainland and the rain in the central area are much stronger, which Zhang Yimin found on the Internet, so this time the two of them specially brought a tent.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the rain hit the tent and rattled, Zhang Yimin slowly opened his eyes, looking at the constantly shaking tent, he couldn't sleep for a while.
Listening to Qian Chenglin's even breathing beside him, he couldn't help but smile and didn't get up, just looked at the top of the tent.
If you want to say that this area is normal, he doesn't believe it, it is definitely impossible that there are no animals in such a large area, unless the animals here have been wiped out, then it is orcs? Or a cultivator? But whichever of these two possibilities is what, where are those people?
And those obvious car marks, why didn't anyone be found along the way?
These things were spinning around in his mind like a marquee, but there was no answer, and he became even more irritated for a while.
I don't know how long later, the rain stopped, and he fell asleep again in a daze.
In the next few days, the two of them continued to walk through the mountains, but there were no traces of other humans along the way, that is, animals, two or three kittens and dogs, but they only increased the rations for the two people.
The more Zhang Yimin walked, the more strange he felt in his heart, under normal circumstances, even if there was a large orc village nearby, it would not be able to wipe out all the animals, so what happened to this area?
He was thinking about it, but Qian Chenglin grabbed him, pointed to the front and whispered, "Look over there!" ”
Zhang Yimin turned his head to look and almost jumped up, "! City! ”
The two of them were halfway up a mountain, and between the branches and leaves of a few trees in front of them, a city appeared!
In terms of scale, this city is only a few points larger than the Orc City in the Western District, "Could it be that this is the center of the Orc City in the Central District?" Zhang Yimin muttered, staring at the city.
Qian Chenglin whispered on the side: "I haven't seen any traces of inhabitation along the way, don't people in this city go out?" ”
Zhang Yimin shook his head, he couldn't understand why this was happening, he turned around and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain, he had to see the whole city clearly before he could make a judgment.
When the two of them reached the top of the mountain, Zhang Yimin let out a long breath, and then he understood why there was no trace found on the road where he came!
It turned out that in the direction where the two people came, the mountain seemed to have been cut open, including the one at the foot!
It's as if the city had carved a hole in the middle of a mountain and enclosed the whole city in it!
"! What a big project! ”
The only exit of the city can be seen from afar, and a road leads straight into the distance, and at this time, it is noon, and people can be seen faintly coming and going on the exit, which is very lively.
"Could this be a military base before the Great Apocalypse?" Zhang Yimin looked at the cliff that seemed to be cut like a knife on all sides in a daze, and Qian Chenglin beside him pulled him and pointed to the bottom of the opposite cliff, where there were several things that seemed to be defense towers, standing there very eye-catching.
Look carefully at the other directions, it turns out that there is this kind of setting, you can see a vague figure walking back and forth inside, it should be a sentry, obviously, these defense towers are obviously not the kind of automatic defense towers of humans, but they are not decorations!
Each turret has a few long things sticking to the top, Zhang Yimin doesn't think it's just a flagpole, but what this thing is, it's too far away to be determined.
Zhang Yimin didn't try to look forward to see if there was the same setting under his feet, if he was accidentally discovered, it would be a big deal.
After thinking about it and pointing in the direction of the mouth, Qian Chenglin nodded knowingly, and the two of them slowly walked in the direction of the exit.
The city was about a dozen kilometers long, and the two of them touched it all the way, deliberately staying away from the ridge, for fear of alarming the people in the city.
Zhang Yimin admired the people who built the city, these three sides are surrounded by mountains, and the lowest place is nearly a thousand meters, even if someone finds out, they can't enter the city through these three sides, but can only enter from the passage at the gate of the city, which is obviously extremely beneficial to defense.
Even with Zhang Yimin's current skills, it is not easy to go down from this cliff, even with the help of tools, not to mention that there are many surveillance towers like turrets scattered around here, presumably to prevent this from happening.
Every ordinary orc has the same strength as a human elite soldier, and in this kind of place, it is almost impossible to attack, unless there is a flying machine directly attacking from above, but where else is there a flying machine on the earth now!
Now, in addition to interstellar voyages, human beings only rely on cars for inland passage on the earth, and the consumption is much lower than that of flying machines!
When Zhang Yimin was sighing in his heart, Qian Chenglin grabbed his hand and squatted down.
There were people nearly a kilometer ahead, and it was also a defense tower, Zhang Yimin looked forward curiously from the gap between the leaves.
It was quite close to the exit of the city, and from his current position, he could already see the wall at the exit, which was built on both sides of the mountain, and the white defense tower was supposed to prevent the enemy from bypassing the rear and attacking the wall below.
Qian Chenglin looked at him with a look of inquiry in his eyes, obviously asking if he needed to attack this turret, Zhang Yimin shook his head, now they really don't need to offend these orcs.
On the second floor of the turret, there were three people standing there, all in a very standard posture.
In such a remote place, the soldiers standing guard can do this, they are undoubtedly elite soldiers, and it is not clear whether there are others inside, and it is obviously unwise to attack blindly, and there is no need to say it.
The people in the turret are extremely strong, Zhang Yimin automatically classified these people as orcs, if humans were so strong, they would have gone to the Golden Palace to practice boxing!
Forcibly trying to find out, Zhang Yimin pulled Qian Chenglin and pointed to the other side.
The two of them made a big detour before turning the turret, and found a place with a better view and stopped, carefully observing the city.
The wall is fifty meters high, and the main body is made of huge stones, but I don't know what kind of adhesive is used, and it looks very strong.
Zhang Yimin thought that the person who had the ability to transform this valley into such a way could not use huge stones as a city wall, and could defend it by placing a few random artillery groups.
So the city must have been built after the Great Destruction!
There were three gates open in the middle of the wall, the largest of which was twenty meters wide, and it was almost dark, and many people were walking towards the gates.
Outside the city walls, there was a small plain, which had been cultivated into patches of farmland, and many of the people who walked back carried tools on their shoulders, and that was the farmers.
