"Didn't I say that? I'm here for a tourist. ”

"This ......"

Cheng Men's tone was sluggish, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only hold the steering wheel tightly and try to ensure the stability of the car.

Several cities in the south have become a mess because of the masked monsters, and countless strangers flock to those cities every day, and the cities are full of dangers and treacherous clouds.

At this time, traveling is no different from looking for death.

But......

The thinking of the elder is probably different from that of ordinary people.

For them, the more dangerous the place, the more exciting it may be.

After a while, Su Xia suddenly asked, "Seahorse City, hasn't the current city lord been changed?" ”

Cheng Men hurriedly replied: "No, no, it's always been that one." ”

"Oh."

Su Xia nodded slightly, confirming that the information she had collected was correct.

Seahorse City is a very special city, unlike those that existed before the war, it was built after the war.

Initially, there was only one large temporary gathering place for refugees in that area.

Later, when the war ended, the leaders elected by the refugees came up with a solution: instead of attaching themselves to other cities, they would build them in their place.

This idea is supported by the mechanical family.

As long as they can maintain stability, no chaos, and a large enough population, it will be okay to build another city.

In this way, the huge Seahorse City rose from the ground, absorbing the surrounding refugees as it was built, absorbing those displaced people who were homeless and displaced by the war, and it had a population of more than 100,000 from the beginning of its establishment, and expanded rapidly in the following years.

Later facts proved that their original strategy was very correct.

Just look at the refugees who are now attached to various cities, many of whom still don't have enough to eat, and the refugees in Coral City are typical.

However, most of the residents of Seahorse City have been freed from hunger, relying on the strategic location and occupy the main transportation routes, and can collect a large amount of money every year for tolls alone.

Whether it is seafood from the southern coast to the northern cities, or food and energy from the northern cities to the southern coast, many of them will pass through the giant transit station of Haima City, where merchants from the south to the north are endless, and the exchange of cultures and languages makes the city more and more prosperous.

"Where were you from? Listening to the accent doesn't feel like it's local. Su Xia asked casually.

"My lord, I used to be from Hantie City in the north, but I fled here and settled in Seahorse City." Cheng Men replied while driving.

"Cold Iron City?" Su Xia thought about the map, it was a city located in the northern part of the continent, "It's really quite north, it's close to the border line, spanning most of the land area, it's not easy to escape." ”

"Alas, yes, my relatives and friends all died on the way to escape, and in the end I was the only one left, and I didn't want to go back, so I fell here and returned to my roots......"

Cheng Men thought of his past experience, and couldn't help but sigh for a while, born in troubled times, he couldn't help himself, and it was not easy to survive.

In fact, the war never ended, but the Terrans were temporarily weakened, and there was no armistice between the two sides.

Peace in recent years has been only an occasional time in the midst of numerous wars.

Maybe they will continue to fight at any time, until one side is completely destroyed.

"Is Seahorse City in chaos right now?"

"My lord, in fact, Seahorse City has always been chaotic."

Cheng Men replied seriously: "After all, this city is composed of countless refugees, and it doesn't even have the most primitive foundation, it was very chaotic from the beginning, and there are countless merchants coming and going every day, and it is a mess, but all the chaos is covered up by the superficial economic prosperity." ”

"Well, that makes sense."

"Recently, I don't know who is spreading the rumors that the masked monsters are coming to our city, and it turns out to be even more chaotic."

"Are the masked monsters really here?"

"I don't know." Cheng Men shook his head and sighed, "But for the sake of the bounty, whether the news is true or not, all of them are here, and the hotels and inns in the city are almost full." ”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Su Xia smiled, "What's wrong with driving the economic development of the whole city and making an extra amount of money." ”

"My lord, you have a good attitude, unlike small citizens like us, we want to live a stable life."

Through the exchange, Su Xia learned that during these days, there were more than ten times more murders in Seahorse City.

There is an undercurrent in the city, gunshots and explosions can be heard every night, people can be seen on the streets every day, the blood stains on the streets have not had time to be cleaned up, and even the professional killers of the Zero Tavern have died.

Cheng Men is not a small citizen in his own mouth.

Those who can do his job and resell drugs between various cities are basically people with some ability.

"Doesn't your city lord have any means for the current chaos?" Susha asked.

"The lord of the city is still like that, maintain the basic rule without collapsing, and let the people below make trouble for the rest."

"He didn't interfere?"

"This ...... I don't know......"

The human city lord of Seahorse City is much more capable than Qi Lang of Coral City, and the core power of the entire city is firmly held in his hands, and he will not worry about his position being unstable all day long like Qi Lang.

Unlike the two major families in Fish Scale City, Seahorse City does not have a large family on the surface at all, and it can be regarded as a centralized system of city lords.

"My lord, are you a legendary fifth-level creature?" Cheng Men suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask this?"

"I heard that two fifth-level creatures from the north have come to Seahorse City." Cheng Men explained: "My lord, during your trip to Seahorse City, you must pay attention to those two people, they are the high-level killers of the Zero Point Tavern, don't conflict with them...... Some local gangs had a conflict with them, and the whole gang was wiped out. ”

"Well, a fifth-level creature, that sounds pretty powerful."

Su Xia's tone was relaxed and he didn't pay much attention to it.

He just went to find his father's team, and if he couldn't find it, he would leave, and he wouldn't delay too much time.

As long as he doesn't reveal his identity, he won't face up to the two high-level creatures in the tavern, and if he does, he's not afraid.

For ordinary people, fifth-level creatures are probably already at the level of immortals, and they may not be able to see one in their lifetime, let alone conflict.

Those gangs were also unlucky.

According to Cheng Men, the gang members are gangsters and homeless people who have no regular jobs and often rob businessmen from other places to maintain capital turnover by relying on this method.

In the past, even if it was robbery, it was like this, and they still refused to stop, and it didn't take long for them to grab a fifth-level creature.

As soon as the fifth-level creature released the spiritual energy fluctuations, it frightened the bosses of several gangs into kneeling on the spot.

"That fifth-level seemed to be in a good mood at the time, so he didn't kill them and let them go."

Cheng Men gripped the steering wheel tightly and continued: "Those gang gangsters were also frightened, and they planned to restrain for a while and continue to rob after the turmoil passed, but ...... Maybe they didn't have enough money, so they decided to grab it one last time before they stopped. ”

Coincidentally, those gangs actually grabbed another fifth-level creature!

This kind of luck can really go to buy a lottery ticket.

Because there is a grapevine that there are only two fifth-level creatures who come to Seahorse City now.

It's a pity that this time the fifth-level creatures were not so kind-hearted, and in a fit of rage, they destroyed those gangs and killed hundreds of people that night.

The next morning, as soon as the people in the area opened the door, they saw corpses strewn across the streets.

"After this happened, the city lord just sent someone over to collect the body, and didn't say anything." Cheng Men mentioned the situation at that time, "After all, it's a zero point tavern, and the city lord probably doesn't want to provoke it...... Moreover, the Zero Tavern also sold face to the city lord before. ”

"What face?"

"The child of the city lord, not long ago, because of the trouble, was arrested by the people of the Zero Point Tavern, and then the Zero Point Tavern sent his child back completely, and the city lord returned some gifts to express his gratitude."

"Troublemaker?"

Su Xia was a little puzzled: "What is the city lord's child doing?" The whole city belonged to his father. ”

Cheng Men replied: "This thing is a bit strange, the child of the city lord actually admires that mask monster very much, and he was arrested for pretending to be a mask monster before." ”

"Oh, that's right."

Su Xia also felt strange that there was still someone with such a high status among his fans.

It stands to reason that his supporters should be poor, right, why does this rich boy worship him? Aren't you afraid that he will cut off his father's head one day?

Thinking of this, Su Xia's heart moved slightly, leaned back in his seat, looked out the window, and clicked on the taskbar of the game system.

He has a long-term mission [Burying Bones in a Foreign Country], which requires him to be kind to the families of the members of the Old North Wind Organization.

This task was previously associated with the [Zhao Qin's Last Wish] task.

But Zhao Qin's last wish mission failed, and the entire [Burying Bones] mission also turned gray, and there was no other hint.

Su Xia just thought that Seahorse City should also have the family members of the old North Wind members, although the mission is gray, but you can still check the details.

He clicked on the mission and saw that on the map of Seahorse City, there were indeed several mission target points.

On this trip, if nothing happens, I will go to see the family members and leave some money before leaving.

"What do you think of the Mask Geek?" Su Xia put away the task system and interrogated Cheng Men very casually.

"He's a good guy and a lot of people support him." Cheng Men replied seriously, "But his way of doing things is too violent, and he will not be flexible and compromised, resulting in the current situation of being surrounded and suppressed by the whole world, which is difficult to sustain after all." ”

"But if he compromised, there wouldn't be so many people supporting him."

"yes......"

Cheng Men nodded, deeply convinced.

It is precisely because there are too many people who compromise that it seems that people like the mask monster are precious, and under the general trend of the times, there are too few people who go against the trend.

Such a person is admirable, even in the chaotic Seahorse City, there are people who dare to stand up publicly in solidarity with him.

"Adult ......"

"How?"

"Those undead warriors asked me to help ask, do you have any plans to take in disciples?" Cheng Men pointed to his ear, which had a liaison hanging from his ear, through which the players were communicating with him.

The players were in a hurry, they were going to talk to Su Xia on the way back, but they didn't expect Su Xia to get directly into a separate off-road vehicle.

They had no choice but to ask Cheng Men for help.

Su Xia smiled: "They wanted to give up your materials before, don't you blame them?" ”

Cheng Men shook his head: "In the face of the people of the king of mercenaries, it is normal for them to give up, I can understand it." ”

"Well, tell them, I don't accept undead apprentices."

"Okay."

Cheng Men immediately replied to the players behind him and completely relayed Su Xia's words.

Hearing this news, the players were immediately deflated, and even the joy of harvesting the materials just now was washed away a lot.

One of the members sighed: "Alas, for this reason again, there have been several elders who have publicly stated that they will not accept people like us. ”

"This is the chain of discrimination, the machines discriminate against the Terrans, and the Terrans discriminate against us."

"What about the Zerg?"

"Zerg discriminate against all races equally."

"Don't be discouraged!"

The boss of the player squad said: "That boss is traveling alone, there is only one person, and Seahorse City is so big, it is probably inconvenient for him to do things, maybe he will need someone to help?" ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the other members lit up.

"The boss is right, it's not time to give up!"

"That's right, think about what Li Defu of the Beechburg team said - in the face of high-level NPCs, you have to be the same as chasing girls, stubbornly fighting, indomitable, and you can always gain something in the end!"

"Elder Li Defu is right!"

"Wise sayings!"

"No wonder the Bichburg team has grown so fast......"

Everyone nodded, feeling that this was true and worth a try.

It was from this day that a sentence formula began to circulate in the game - Li Defu once said......

The night was thick, the cold wind was howling, and the convoy was like a glowing dragon on the wilderness road.

According to calculations, it was about three o'clock in the morning before they could reach Seahorse City.

Su Xia was bored, took out the thick book "Spaceship Operation: 21 Days from Beginner to Ascension", continued to watch, and learned about spaceship piloting.

After digging deeper, you will understand that the 21 days written on the cover are pure nonsense.

Just the classification of the spaceship made Su Xia have a headache.

Various names, such as exploration ships, transport ships, frigates, experimental ships, etc., hundreds or thousands, different sizes, different specifications, even the same name and specifications, if they are produced by different companies, there will be differences in details.

"It's uncomfortable, and I need a book of experience."

Su Xia rubbed his eyebrows and closed the book, this thing is too difficult for an ordinary college student.

He really had to learn from scratch, and he didn't know how long it would take to become proficient in piloting a spaceship.

Even with the Oasis Camp's simulation training system, it may take a long time, and what he lacks most now is time.

In the next stage of the task [Buried in a Strange Land], there is the reward of "Battleship Piloting Experience Book", which is similar to "Pharmacist Experience Book", but unfortunately this task is gray, and I don't know if it can be reactivated this time.

Time passed slowly, and it was four o'clock in the morning of the next day, and the convoy was still on the way, longer than Su Xia expected.

If he had flown straight over, he might have arrived a long time ago.

"My lord, we're almost there!" Cheng Men said respectfully.

"You've said that three times."

"It's really coming ...... this time"

Cheng Men slowed down, the road was potholed, and the body kept shaking.

Scattered street lamps began to appear on the left and right sides of the road, like rare fireflies in the dark, guiding the way home for those who went out.

Ahead, the outline of a city becomes clear in the darkness of the night.

Seahorse City, indeed, has arrived.

In the rear, the players in the convoy breathed a sigh of relief, their mission rewards were secure, and there would be no more problems.

But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the darkness of the night.

"Bang-"

The gunshots were close, not far on the left side of the road.

"What's going on?"

Players were so frightened that they sped up their speeds, surrounding several trucks in the center and pointing their weapons at the darkness around them.

Before they could fully react, they saw a dark shadow flash by.

"Who?"

The captain of the squad was extremely vigilant, and his fingers were on the trigger.

But the shadow seemed to be on the run for his life, ignoring him, and soon fled into the distance.

At the same time, the voices of many people came from behind: "Stop him, he's the masked monster!" ”

"Stop it, and then you will share half of the prize!"
