966 Books Jungle City
Zhou Shu fled into the city with his team, away from the terrible smell of gasoline and even more terrible explosions outside the city.
His Book of Summons at this time has shown its long-standing shortcomings, and there is no way to detect those who have gained power through 'magic weapons' through summon points. When encountering the trouble caused by such a person, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and see the move, but fortunately, he had enough dismantling methods, and generally speaking, his life would not be in danger. At most, he was drenched in gasoline and covered his face.
"Can this thing be washed off!! "Miss Countess Elomy is still more interested in hot water than the unknown gods who fight in the suburbs. "Let's go to the hotel quickly, my skin hurts hotly. ”
Zhou Shu could be sure that these sticky liquids that were a little dirty were not gasoline, but they were about the same, and it was difficult to clean up the disgusting ones. As the countess, Almy wanted to find a noble house to spend the night, and in the poor countryside of the quiet land, as long as she reported her father's name, she would naturally be treated. After all, it is a rich nobleman next door, and the place of Jingtu depends on the Mio family to help one or two every year, and the Earl Mio has never embarrassed this poor neighbor, and the relationship between the two sides is actually very good.
With a confident face, she walked everyone under the sun for an hour to the City Lord's Mansion, and then touched the ash of her nose.
"How so?!" Alamy didn't even knock on the big iron door outside the City Lord's Mansion, because she clearly saw that the place that was supposed to be the gravel family crest of Silent Earth City was replaced by a flag. He tried to uncover the flag, but a couple of vicious men drove her away.
Since everyone has no strength on their side, it is still not safe to let Zhou Shu and Nati protect them, so Ellemy left with everyone first.
If it were normal times, she would probably have to wonder for a while when she encountered such a thing. But not now, on the way to the City Lord's Mansion, she has seen too many strange things. The most obvious. There are too many people in this Quiet Land City, which is unreasonable, and this is obviously a sparsely populated city full of dilapidated and empty houses.
Now there are dilapidated houses, but they are all full of people. This situation can be explained, but this explanation is the last thing everyone wants to see.
"It seems that everyone has gone to the city with the lowest difficulty to play the qualifiers. Zhou Shu absentmindedly blurted out this bad, and then predicted an even worse one. "I guess. There are no more empty shops for us to live in. ”
His crow's beak skill is still good, and he can't hit every shot, and the accuracy rate of eighty percent can be guaranteed. Originally, the inflow of population into Jingtu City was small, and there were few hotels, but now there are so many people coming. Although some clever merchants expected this, the inn that was prepared was not able to cope with all the people.
Since ancient times, most of the people who go out have a lot of money, and everyone has money for the hotel, so the competition for rooms is naturally decided according to the first-come, first-served basis. Zhou Shu stared at a collapsed wooden house on the side of the road. There were two groups of people fighting inside, and the people who were grabbing their luggage and watching the excitement were piled up, and there were tents in the yard.
This is not an exception, and there are many others in other houses that are clearly under-repaired. There were a few rooms that were very few people, but it seemed that the guys were not easy to mess with, so a few people took over one by themselves, and no one was going to run to live with them.
I came to the hotel with a bad premonition, and sure enough.
"No, no, no. It's all this time, and I can't get the guest room for how much money you give. The chubby shopkeeper drove people out one by one. Zhou Shu proposed to borrow a place to wash and ask for hot water or something. The owner sadly said that his backyard was full of stoves, all used to boil hot water for guests, and now the price of hot water is fried to the same price as goat's milk, and the price of goat's milk is close to the best wine in town last month. And the wine has been robbed by some bandit fighting groups.
No way, Master Zhou had to stare at the oil stain and lead his team to stand on the street at noon. Everyone, except for Vanilla, put on a look of inability to survive. Only the Virgin of Vanilla, who has the protection of the Holy Fetus, is poked there with a beautiful and dusty body. Be proud of the baby in your belly.
She has now fully understood that after her child is born, she will be taken care of by the Southern God, and it may even be a clone of the Southern God who came to the world.
Alamy was not as optimistic as she was. The girl who had been insulted by her distant relatives before should have given birth to a child of a southern god, but I haven't heard of any particularly outstanding characters. You must know that the biography was only published by her relatives in their later years, that is, more than ten years ago, and the incident described in it is forty years ago. If that child is born, it will be in the prime of life, and it will not be obscure. Therefore, she can only guess in the bad place, maybe the holy womb is just an ordinary child, since the birth of the mediocrity, the life is wasted.
Zhou Shu really can't help it, he doesn't have the ability to get the water for so many people to bathe and help boil the water, but the boss said that the city's water pipes and wells are all occupied by the warrior regiments that entered, and there are almost 30,000 people here in the past two weeks.
"So many people, if the combat team is twenty people, ......"
Zhou Shu counted with his fingers on the side, but there was obviously a problem with his algorithm, and he was interrupted by Roger on the side.
"It can't be counted like that, twenty is just the upper limit of the number of participants in the combat group. In order to protect the combat team from being provoked, harassed, or attacked before and after the game, the combat team will bring out all its combat power. ”
Before, the Tiger King Warband was the first to arrive at the northern labyrinth, and even then there was a second team as an escort, but even so, because of the numerical inferiority, it was killed by two inferior combat groups. Therefore, the number of people in those groups is actually very large.
Norapoi speculated that there would be more than 200 battle groups in the entire Silent Land City, and this was counting the guys who set up tents outside the city. Although some of those people may have died in the explosion just now.
At the moment when the Songun War was announced, a very large number of novice combat groups had already joined. They may not be heading for the prize that the ultimate champion can get from God, and they don't care about glory or anything. They just want to meet some weak opponents, and then throw in the towel in exchange for some money, or some other way to get the advantage. Such people, plus those young fighters who really have dreams. and the teams organized by the gentry from all walks of life, forming the chaotic appearance of Jingtu City today.
Zhou Shu was very sure that there should be no good places in the city. He gave the innkeeper a little money and asked him where he could get water to bathe. It is estimated that this body of oil and cold water cannot be washed off, which is quite troublesome.
The boss returned the money to Zhou Shu, and his question is currently unanswerable to everyone.
"The whole city has been taken over by combat regiments. The Earl's family has been beaten away and robbed of the house, and whatever you want, you have to fight for it yourself. If your fist is big enough, you can grab someone else's. If you don't have that ability, let's go to the outskirts of the city and live in a tent. ”
Allemi was startled when he heard what had happened to the local count, and it was reasonable to think about it. Originally, the Gravel family didn't have much money, and they didn't have any powerful thugs, but now that so many people from the whole city poured in, it was really normal that he couldn't deal with it.
The poor aristocracy is very sad, not only can they not put down their family honor to work. You can't raise the tax burden because you can't afford to hire someone to help collect taxes, and you have to maintain a decent life for the people to see.
As an aristocrat, he is a role model for the people below, and countless people are staring at him every day. Being kicked out of the house is simply terrible.
Elemy's family was also almost ruined by Zhou Shu, and her parents were ready to escape, so she was able to empathize with her in this matter and give out a few tears of sympathy.
When the Countess shed tears. Master Zhou pinched the money that was sent back and pouted at his own team members.
"Do we have the ability or not?"
Roger shook his head uneasily. "I don't know if I'm capable of it, but if we hang around in this outfit any longer, if we touch a little spark, we'll be set on fire. ”
If you have the ability, you will rob it, and if you don't have the ability, you will wait for death. That's a great thing to say.
Several men looked at Zhou Shu and made a 'please' gesture. Let him into the inn. Zhou Shu found the shopkeeper and asked him very politely if he could give up this shop to himself. As soon as he finished saying this, several of the shopkeeper's sons and fox friends stood up.
To be able to save the small shop while the city lord has been driven away, this shopkeeper naturally has the full assistance of friends from the combat group. About ten minutes. The inn changed hands, and if it weren't for figuring out where the pots and pans were, five minutes would have been enough.
All the people in the store escaped, and no one wanted to fight Zhou Shu, a guy who could easily break the iron sword after using his strength. If you want to fight, you can wait for his strength to disappear.
An hour later, several waves of people appeared one after the other looking for trouble. Zhou Shu was still boiling water for everyone to bathe, and Nati, who had washed first, came out to solve the battle with three punches and two feet, and the whole world was a little more peaceful.
---
The rules of the game in the knockout round of the First Army War are very rough, simply draw lots to beat each other, and those who win three times in a row will be considered to win, and if they lose once, they will go home. There is no lower bracket and loser resurrection battle, it is simply a fight to the end.
This kind of competition that relies on strength really does not need the loser to resurrect, and only those game events that have less to do with the competition will adopt that format.
On the first day of coming to the city, a group of people spent boiling water and bathing. After Zhou Shu occupied this place, he asked everyone to prepare first and help drive the tenants away, while he took over the backyard and added a fire to the stove a little. Later, I simply used fire to hold all the containers for boiling water, but I still tossed for a long time. By the time he finally went to wash, it was already dark.
Zhou Shu set up the bath bucket in the courtyard, soaked in it, looked up at the stars, and stood beside Nati, who was in a much better mood, and the two chatted about Grimm's fairy tales.
There is no way, in this boring world, Zhou Shu can only use storytelling as a topic. Fortunately, Nati is stupid enough, and the story alone can satisfy her. However, the other girls in the team were not so easy to fool, Elemy covered his eyes and came to the yard to urge Zhou Shu, who had been washing for a long time, to hurry up, and there were still things to be busy here.
"Uh, nothing's the matter, right?" said Master Zhou, poking his wet head out of the barrel.
Ellemy pointed to Natty on the side, "Can you lend me Miss Nattie?" there are some very powerful guys out there, and if you don't come out, we'll have to let the vanilla go up and delay the time." ”
Zhou Shu knew that he would cause a lot of trouble after grabbing this hotel. In order to reduce it as much as possible, he had already given him a large bag of gold as an apology after killing the innkeeper's family, so that he would not have to sneak in in the middle of the night to poison the well or something. Robbing and ruining other people's livelihoods is easy to drive people to a dead end, and smart people don't do that.
Still, there are other people who believe in 'grab if you have the ability', and the city that has lost its managers has become a perfect jungle for survival of the fittest.
Zhou Shu told Nati that she was very willing to help, and she moved her shoulders and went up, and there were a few metal beetles in her pocket to protect her, which was basically foolproof.
As soon as the girl left, Master Zhou's mind began to think about the two unlucky servants he had seen in the morning.
The direct line of the god of the north and the god of the south ran to the outskirts of this place and fought. The fight of the gods was really high and high in his opinion, only seeing one side of the centaurs, only seeing one side of the move, and then it exploded, I didn't know how they taught their hands at all, and the artistic conception was high and irritating.
Zhou Shu now regrets coming to Jingtu City, a notoriously weak city. At such times, you should go to some areas with a weak sense of presence, so that you can meet the weakest opponents. No matter what the previous reputation of a city is, as long as the war starts, as long as it is a famous city, even if it is a city known for being weak, it will be full of strong enemies.
It's not a strong opponent for him, it's not the same for Norapoi and Rogerd. Now it's no fun to rush to other cities to participate in the registration of the First Army War, and they must stay here, because they still need time to gather the remaining northern warriors to make up enough ten people, otherwise they won't even be able to sign up, and the rest of the time will not even be a week.
He has already decided, and his team does not need to find any more powerful characters. It is estimated that the regional champion should not be so difficult to fight, Zhou Shu is very confident that he can fight a group of people, but he can't still have a pistol to help, he won't lose anyway, and the demand for northern players is not high. Tomorrow, he plans to go to find a few poor homeless people early in the morning, and ask them to help them make up the numbers, and report their names first.
Just as his head was thinking about this, Polor and Heatherine rushed out into the courtyard in a panic. Polore pointed to the direction of the door of the inn and said in a panic: "Miss Nati, she's about to be unable to support it!" Heatherine on the side saw Zhou Shu taking a bath, thinking of what had been poked before, and stood aside with a red face and was shy without saying a word.
Zhou Shu didn't think that Nati was really in a bitter battle, it was estimated that she was playing with her opponent. To be on the safe side, he decided to take a look at the smell of gasoline that hadn't subsided. (To be continued......)
