The sheriff is alone on one end, while Chiya and One-Eye are on the other. The three of them exhaled, and with all their strength, they lifted the gate, which weighed a ton, and pushed it towards the tower.

Although the one-eyed man has not activated the Force node, he has been cultivating, and he is not far from activating the first Force node. And his talent is strength enhancement. Qianye steadily demonstrated the strength of a first-class soldier, no more and no less.

A seventeen-year-old first-class soldier is enviable at best, but a seventeen-year-old second-class soldier is different. How could a person who was qualified enough to join the Imperial Special Legion run to such a barren place to open a small bar?

By eight o'clock in the morning, all three were exhausted. However, the restoration of the city gate was only half done, and the power boiler with the scattered side frame had to be assembled, and parts had to be ordered from the big cities.

New parts can also arrive as soon as a week. The bald sheriff, though worried, can only live another week of fearful life.

At this time, the sky in the upper continent was already dawning. However, in the dark season of the Eternal Night Continent, the trajectories of several upper continents converged right over the Eternal Night Continent, blocking the sunlight.

During the day, only from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Eternal Night Continent was bright, and the rest of the day was night.

In the night sky, the crimson full moon still hangs there. According to the legend of the Eternal Night Continent, as long as the crimson moon appears, then there will be disasters. When the Blood Moon is suspended in the sky, the strength of the dark race will increase, and the native beasts in the wild will become more violent and ferocious.

Seeing the blood moon in the sky, Qianye suddenly felt that the blood qi in his whole body surged, and his perception became extremely acute, especially his sense of smell was improved thousands of times. He could smell almost everyone in town. That scorching smell of blood, almost drove him crazy!

Chiya said goodbye to the sheriff and quickly returned to the bar, closed the door tightly, and then fell to the ground, screaming like a wild beast and rolling all over the ground.

The thirst for blood is an almost unbearable torment, and this feeling of pain and emptiness is more intense than the onset of addiction to 'bliss'. If it weren't for Qianye's will comparable to that of the Red Scorpion Soldier King when he cultivated the Martial Arts Technique, he would have been conquered by bloodthirsty hunger and thirst and turned into a real blood slave.

Qianye crouched on the cold ground, biting a towel in her mouth, not letting herself scream. He grabbed the steel bar welded into the wall with one hand, and slammed it into the ground with the other!

Through!

A dull sound came from the bar, and the whole Manshu Sawa trembled slightly with the sound. At this time, the bar had no customers, and the sound was running through the empty lobby.

Several scavengers happened to pass by the bar, and when they heard the strange dull noise, their faces changed dramatically, and they changed their routes, away from Manshu Sawa as if there was a demon in the bar.

A full hour passed, and Qianye struggled to get up. He staggered over to the closet, took out a blood packet from it, carefully squeezed a few drops of blood into his mouth, and then immediately sealed the blood bag and put it back in its place with great will.

A few drops of blood entered the mouth, and Qianye immediately sweated profusely as if he had collapsed, leaning against the wall and gasping constantly.

Now he had to drink a few drops of blood to calm his bloodthirsty instincts. However, in the beginning, Thousand Nights could survive the bloodthirsty hunger without relying on anything. But since three months ago, he has needed to lick a drop of blood to quench his thirst. By now, Thousand Nights needed close to a spoonful of blood to be able to fool the body and quench the hunger and thirst.

Animal blood has gradually lost its effect, and the allure of human blood has increased exponentially. Following this trend, Qianye estimates that she will be able to hold on for another year at most. Although his stubborn resistance these days has been a miracle, the road ahead is still dark and there is no light.

Qianye's gaze fell on the cabinet again, and this time it was not the blood bag, but the saber pressed under the blood bag. It was the Red Scorpion's standard multi-purpose saber, and the silver plating on it was broken. Qianye put it here so that one day when he couldn't suppress his bloodthirsty instinct, he could use it to end his life.

There was also the black silk bag next to the blood bag.

Chiya smiled self-deprecatingly, he now had at least one more option to commit suicide. The Demon Breaker Mithril Bullet will have a nirvana effect on vampires with titles, not to mention his half of a blood slave. As long as Qianye swallows a demon-destroying mythril bullet, all the internal organs in his body will be burned to charcoal. But there are no scars on the outside.

At least you can die pretty, Thousand Nights thought.

This is another change that has taken place in him after being contaminated by the blood of darkness, and he has begun to instinctively like beautiful things.

But just like he didn't commit suicide immediately, as long as he didn't reach the last moment, Qianye would never give up.

He walked to the power house behind the bar and added a few more shovels of blackstone to the big metal dick half the size of a bar. This allows the steam oven to burn for a whole day, providing the necessary power for the bar and maintaining the temperature of the kiln. The sake brewed by Senya must be fermented at a room temperature of 60 degrees Celsius for 10 days to have the best taste.

There are public Blackstone steam towers in the town, but they can't support such luxury, and Manshusawa and the town's limited number of homes have their own independent power units.

At ten o'clock in the morning, just as it was dawning, the door of the bar was pushed open, and a big man covered in tattoos walked in.

When he saw Qianye, he walked up, patted Qianye's shoulder enthusiastically, and said, "Brother, there is a gambling game again!" Zhao Gongzi asked me to come to you, this time the road is a bit far, and I have to set off in advance. Old rules, I'll help you watch the store, you can go over!"

Qianye nodded, took a bottle of spirits from the wine cabinet, stuffed it into the strong man's arms, and said, "Old rules, this is yours." ”

The big man grinned and punched Qianye heavily in the chest.

A moment later, Qianye came to a tall industrial factory in the northeast corner of the town. After the Dawn War, it was once a sizable machine parts manufacturing plant, and it is said that it also produced military products. But as the upper citizens of the empire moved to the upper middle continents, where the living conditions were better, the factory was abandoned.

Now, the factory has become a place where Zhao Gongzi and his men are entrenched.

Zhao Gongzi is very young, not yet thirty years old. He was born very handsome, and had a neatness and grace that the natives of the wasteland did not have. It is said that he was the illegitimate son of a large family in the empire and was exiled to the Eternal Night Continent for some reason. The townspeople call him Zhao Gongzi, but no one knows his real name.

In the empire, Zhao was a special surname. The ancestors of the Zhao family once participated in the Dawn War and were one of the seven founding marshals of the empire. Today, the power of the Zhao family has increased instead of decreasing, and it is ranked among the four major lords of the empire along with Zhang, Bai, and Song, ranking only below Zhang.

So the rumors are not credible. Even if this Zhao Gongzi has a little bit to do with the branch of the Zhao family, he will not be reduced to the point of collecting protection fees in a dilapidated town in the Eternal Night Continent.

Zhao Gongzi does have some strength, as a first-level soldier, it is more than enough to suppress the dozen or so gangsters under him. However, his ambitions seem to be limited to the confines of Lighthouse Town, and he has often been in contact with the powerful forces in the surrounding towns lately.

There are disputes, and this way of resolving disputes by gambling is very popular among various forces, and it is a relatively mild one. After all, once the two forces officially start a war, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the losing side will naturally perish, but if the winning side pays too much price, it will be swallowed up by other forces sooner or later.

Seeing Qianye coming, Zhao Gongzi immediately smiled, hugged Qianye's shoulder, and said affectionately: "It's finally waiting for you! Brother, we have to gamble big this time, you must not lose! If you win, I will pay for Min'er to accompany you for three nights." If you think that only one of her is not enough, then the women around me, except for Ah Yun, you can choose any woman!"

"Or virtual martial arts?" asked Chiya.

"Of course! You're the king of the ring!"

"Okay, I don't want women. I still want those kinds of medicines for this payment. ”

"No problem, but the next caravan won't arrive in Blackstream until ten days later. It is estimated that it will take you half a month to get those medicines. If you win this time, I'll buy you a double copy!"

"One bottle is enough. ”

Zhao Gongzi patted Qianye's shoulder, smiled and said, "What I promised Zhao Gongzi will never change." It's a big deal, you just have to win. ”

At this time, there was a heavy roar of engines outside, and two heavy-duty off-road trucks stopped outside the factory. Zhao Gongzi dragged Qianye and two other murderous and ruthless-looking guys into one car, and the other twenty thugs squeezed into another car.

These are two steam-powered vintage trucks that are more popular on the Eternal Night Continent than the original simulation-powered locomotives because they are sturdy and easy to repair. Its only drawbacks are its slow speed, and the noise and smell are simply not tolerable to the upper class.

It is a small miracle that the two trucks bumped for four hours at a turtle speed of 30 kilometers and did not break down. At this time, the outline of a large city was already in front of us. This is not a small place with only a few thousand people like Lighthouse Town, but Blackstream City with a population of more than 100,000.

From a distance, the ten-meter-high walls of Blackstream City were much more magnificent than those of Lighthouse Town, and the metal skeleton was hideously visible in the exposed bluestone. Every few hundred meters on the city walls, there will be a cannon, as well as two bed crossbows.

These old-fashioned bed crossbows are much more powerful than artillery when dealing with the dark races and some of the largest beasts, making them popular on the Continent of Eternal Night. The steam-driven, chain-pulled mechanism also makes it easier to reset the bed crossbow and greatly improve its practicality.

There are several giant chimneys up to 100 meters high in Blackstream City, constantly spitting out clouds of black smoke, which are the city's core energy facilities, the Perpetual Tower.

The most striking thing is the lighthouse, which burns all year round. This is not a twenty-meter gadget in Lighthouse Town, it is a behemoth that is one hundred and fifty meters high, in addition to being the coordinates of a radius of thousands of miles, it also has to prevent the floating boats traveling to and from Blackstream City from straying into the energy zone and crashing into those chimneys.

Compared to Lighthouse Town, Blackstream is a behemoth armed to the teeth.

The two trucks gasped heavily, and drove into Blackstream. Zhao Gongzi is indeed well-known in the surrounding area, and he doesn't even have to pay the entrance fee.
