The 4th arrondissement is not as bustling as the Free Zone, and even looks a bit depressed, with not many pedestrians passing by and less dense buildings.

However, the streets here are more visible than those of the Free Zone, with blood-stained walls and several bodies lying across the street in the distance untreated.

"This is the Fourth District?"

Chu Xue knew what Tong Xiaofeng wanted to say, after all, this picture was even more smoky than other districts.

"The fourth district is the most chaotic district, of course, this is only because we live in the outermost area, and if we go inside, there is a certain system. ”

The two of them kept walking, and before long a separate area appeared.

It's just that the environment looks terrible, and the broken streets are full of weird rocks that separate the opposite block from the one on the other. Some are as sharp as needle awls, and if one is not careful, they may cut their shoes or even puncture a small hole in their feet.

Chu Xue, who has lived here for more than ten years, is naturally familiar with the road, and she flexibly stepped on the gravel and crossed this obstacle smoothly. And Tong Xiaofeng, as a physical cultivator, couldn't make it difficult for him at all, he stepped directly on a messy stone and flew out for several meters, and he had already come to Chu Xue's side in a few steps.

If it was called chaos just now, then I am afraid that this side can only be described as hell.

Emaciated corpses were everywhere, and the smell of decay was pungent. Tong Xiaofeng just looked into the distance, and a feeling of nausea and wanting to vomit was already circling in his mind.

What he saw was a corpse, sickly colored like hoarfrost, shriveled inside, flocks of flies feasting, and the surface of the skin stirred up and down, as if something was wriggling, and it was maggots without even thinking about it.

In the face of all this, Chu Xue continued to walk towards the room as if she had nothing. Tong Xiaofeng tried to resist the urge to vomit and followed behind.

No wonder Chu Xue didn't seem to have any waves when Tong Xiaofeng killed the assassin and those three, and living in such a place, he really didn't have any fear of the dead, because he had long been numb.

Tong Xiaofeng looked at the back in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of being tall, after all, if he were him, I am afraid that he would not be able to live in such a place, and sooner or later he would be driven crazy.

"Why don't you live somewhere else?"

This is probably a question that everyone asks, so Chu Xue answered very casually.

"Because there is no way, there are big forces in other districts, and it is easy for Sanxiu to die in the hands of those forces because of some friction. The free zone is not a place where lowly people like us can live, and only this intertwined fourth zone can allow us to survive in chaos. ”

It seems that Chu Xue has low self-esteem, but she is not dissatisfied with life, because she is still alive, and this is enough.

I don't know if he was touched by Chu Xue, or if he was touched by the bones in the wilderness, Tong Xiaofeng actually felt pity.

However, this thought was quickly extinguished by him, for this world, mercy is not needed, this is just to drag him down and let him die faster in this chaotic world.

They entered the room, which was relatively better, with no rotten smell and no bones everywhere.

Compared to the housing blocks on the other side, it looks even more dilapidated, with several buildings that seem to be on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

In Tong Xiaofeng's impression, many of the buildings in the ancient city are empty, and they can go to live in the empty houses on the other side, and there is no need to suffer here.

Chu Xue had already seen the doubts in Tong Xiaofeng's eyes, so she explained.

"Do you think we can move to the other side?"

Tong Xiaofeng nodded undeniably, there is no such thing as a real estate certificate in the ancient city, as long as it is a vacant house, you can live in it, in this case, what reason is there to give up good living conditions and choose to come to this ghost place.

"I'd like to do the same, but my dad said that if we move to the other side, all that awaits us is death, and the only thing we can survive on is this outer area. ”

"Why? The houses there have owners?"

Chu Xue shook her head.

"It's all the territory of small forces, and if people don't choose to join the forces live there, they will be cleared. My parents' cultivation talent is too poor, and there is no force willing to accept it, so they can only live here. ”

“......”

There are many helpless things in the world, but people's hearts are still strong. is like the little girl in front of her, only twelve or thirteen years old, who can laugh and talk about hard things in the face of the malice of the whole world.

In this regard, Tong Xiaofeng can only admit that he is inferior. He was so happy that he couldn't accept anything that a little girl could accept.

With the movement of the footsteps of the two, Tong Xiaofeng found that there were not a few people living here. Most of them are extremely weak in cultivation, or they are injured and disabled.

Some people are silent, sit in their chairs and wait for death to come. Some people have a good conversation, but they have a feeling of joy in the midst of suffering. Some people have not given up hope and are desperately cultivating, just like butterflies falling into the water, dying and struggling but unable to make a splash.

They are also the lowest level of this world, and some people are even worse than those servants of the big powers.

The elderly and children are the majority here, and the young people are in the minority, just like a gathering place for old and young women and children, Tong Xiaofeng will not ask their family members this kind of stupid thing, he already knows a lot about this world, this is a question that does not need to be asked and knows the answer.

As he walked, an old man greeted him. His gray hair and sideburns were scattered, and he looked sloppy.

"Chu Xue, are you back?"

The old man looked a little surprised, after all, he knew Chu Xue's plan, and even guessed that Chu Xue would not be able to come back.

"Old man Lin, I'm back. ”

It seems that the two are very familiar with each other, and Chu Xue's words and deeds are not taboo. After they greeted each other, Tong Xiaofeng noticed something unusual.

The old man's expression hid a little hesitation, and when he turned to leave, there was a little sympathy in his eyes.

Of course, this sympathy can't be for him, it's naturally for Chu Xue.

It's just that Chu Xue didn't seem to know about all this, because the old man left with his back to her, and Tong Xiaofeng could only look at it from the side.

I don't know what this means, but it's certainly not a good thing to think about it.

Glancing at Chu Xue, who was still smiling, he suddenly felt distressed, who knew what was waiting for her in front of him.

"Little girl, that old man has something to hide from you. ”

Hearing this, Chu Xue turned around, and her smile changed to doubt.

"Old man Lin is not bad, he shouldn't hide anything from me. ”

“......”

Tong Xiaofeng really wanted to say that you were too naïve, but he still didn't say it after thinking about it.

Sighing lightly, he made a decision, since he came here, no matter what was waiting for Chu Xue in front of him, he would help her for the last time.

"Let's go, go to your house. ”

Chu Xue only felt that Tong Xiaofeng was a little strange, but she didn't care, because she was in a good mood, the elixir had been found, and her home was not far away, everything was so smooth.

Looking at Chu Xue, who had regained her smiling face, Tong Xiaofeng followed silently, like a guard guarding the lord who was about to be assassinated.
