Chapter 9: Magical City

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Coming to a strange realm, Shen Sen didn't plan to be a bandit leader.

This pile of gold was specially brought from the wasteland world by him, and was intended to be used as activity funds for this operation.

In the absence of other special circumstances, he prefers to trade in exchange for the materials he needs in the early stage.

After all, the wasteland lacks everything but gold.

As the saying goes, troubled times gold.

But when there is a shortage of food to survive in a place, gold, no matter how precious it is, is at best an ordinary metal in the eyes of the hungry, no different from rusty scrap metal on the side of the road.

Most people, at most, occasionally encounter gold, and use it as an ordinary metal to make all kinds of strange life utensils.

What kind of golden bowls, golden spoons, or even golden kitchen knives, can make up for it.

Therefore, after Shen Sen came to the wasteland world, for more than a year, with the idea of being prepared, he collected a large bag of gold piecemeal, weighing twenty or thirty catties.

Unexpectedly, it will come in handy now.

Looking at the golden precious metals in front of him, Shen Sen felt no waves in his heart.

He can now say generously what he had always wanted to say in his previous life, he didn't like money, not at all.

On the other hand, there was no more useful way for Wilson than to give him a bag of gold.

Needless to say, under the impact of a large pile of gold, Wilson almost forgot about the fact that he was kidnapped, and excitedly agreed to some small requests from Shen Sen by the way. And in return, he will get a part of it.

As the sun slowly rises again over the horizon of the southern hemisphere of Blue Star, a pickup truck full of people sets off from a ranch far from the city and heads towards the city center.

Johannes, once the largest and most prosperous city in South Philippines, was once an independent organization. Home to the world's largest gold mining area, it was once the economic hub of the area, attracting countless gold prospectors to seek opportunities to make a fortune.

But now, it has an even louder name than before, the city where aliens first appeared.

With the pickup all the way, Shen Sen saw the familiar reinforced concrete in his previous life, on both sides of the road, the skyscrapers cast one after another, the commercial area, the bank full of European-style modern buildings, made him feel like he was traveling abroad.

What used to be a beautiful city now seems to be the most prosperous, but at the same time chaotic and growing area.

Looking out of the car window, the whole city is shrouded in a strange range, and the pedestrians on the side of the road are hurried and worried.

In the melodious sound of music advertisements, from time to time accompanied by the sound of sirens after the car was smashed, the sound of dripping and dripping non-stop.

The pedestrians on the streets, more of them were the first black residents of the local area with panicked faces, bent over, carrying things in their arms, and hurried past.

The flickering firelight, the continuous screams of the siren, the angry scolding, one after another, rang out one after another.

But Wilson, who was driving the car, seemed to be used to all this, and did not let these accidents slow down the car for a second, and after a few turns, they came to their destination this time.

Johannes, ghetto.

"Let's go!"

The car door was opened by Zhang Ting, Shen Sen jumped out of the car, and Wilson also got out of the car in a panic and stood next to Shen Sen.

As soon as he took two steps, Shen Sen suddenly stopped and frowned.

His familiar smell seemed to waft through the air!

And Zhang Ting and the camp guards who came with him this time also seemed to have discovered something at this moment, and threw aside the curiosity and surprise of seeing the modern city just now, their expressions instantly became serious and cold, and their hands quietly inserted into their arms.

This is a place that has always been in the news, but Shen Sen has never been to before, and now it seems to have a similar effect to the wasteland.

Before you actually enter the slums, you can smell the stench coming from the slums, including the smell of garbage accumulated for a long time, as well as the smell of water pipes in disrepair and sewage from the toilets downstairs.

But he smelled the smell that mingled with them, one of the scents he was most familiar with now, and that was blood.

There have been deaths here, and the number of dead people is estimated to be not a small number, otherwise there would not have been such a serious smell of blood.

Squinting his eyes, Shen Sen glanced around thoughtfully. Only a few minutes after getting out of the car, some sneaky people have appeared around the street since I don't know when, sneaking around them.

Although these people tried their best to cover it up, the malice that emanated from the movements of their bodies and their erratic eyes was enough to make Zhang Ting and those who came from the bloody storm feel their true colors.

Wilson, who was huddled aside, felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at this moment, his eyes rolled around, and he hurriedly approached Shen Sen and whispered.

"It may be that the gangs in the slums are eyeing us, so sir, let's go first today, come back tomorrow, or find another place."

"They are not easy to mess with, people are often robbed, and there are armed fights at every turn, and many people will die."

Wilson's eyes dodged, and he felt that many people were staring at the bag in his hand, so frightened that he ducked behind Shen Sen again.

He'd only been here once before, but that time he didn't have much of a good impression of it other than losing his wallet.

Moreover, since the arrival of the aliens, as the preferred location for aliens, all kinds of people have drilled here, and everyone has the idea of wanting to make a fortune from the aliens.

As the number of gangs grew, the chaos and violence in the whirlpool of various forces began to become a mixed area, and it became an area that the government could hardly control and could not control.

"It's a great place with simple folk customs!"

Shen Sen had an intriguing expression on his face, and his tone was calm and indifferent.

He's afraid of the gangsters, it's a joke.

"Lead the way honestly, I promise, you won't lose a single hair, don't you want your share!"

Shen Sen's words were like a thunderclap, stirring up Wilson's memories.

yes, what is he afraid of?

Wilson patted his head in remorse, he almost forgot that he was also a backer now.

Compared to the gangsters who looked crooked and not very formal, his backstage Shen Sen gang was obviously well-trained.

Realizing this, Wilson found himself less afraid.

"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll take you right away, sir!"

He immediately showed his loyalty and walked in the front in a hurry.

There were no wide roads, only a dozen winding alleys, the air was dark and damp, and the overhead was covered with messy plastic water pipes and illegal wires.

Further inside, everything fell into darkness.

No matter how dazzling the sunlight is, it is difficult to penetrate the crowded and towering high-rise buildings to the ground, and most of the light depends on the street lights on the narrow roads, as well as the houses and shops and neon signs on both sides of the road.

Order and chaos, prosperity and despair, civilization and barbarism, actually appear on both sides of a street.

It's the most magical place in the civilized world......
