Chapter 140: Golden City
After most of the day, everyone finally entered the Hourglass City.
Hourglass City is a city, but it is more appropriate to call it a medium and large gathering place.
Hourglass City is surrounded by ruins, and there are many stone houses inside these weathered stone walls, and it is very lively.
It's like a transit point in the desert.
There is a water source in the city, and a small number of food crops can survive in the surrounding area.
The people in Hourglass City, like Salyo and the others, were tightly wrapped together, with only two eyes exposed to the air.
"Wait!"
The outline of the city appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but Xu Yingying stopped everyone.
Zhang Chen said to Salyo beside him: "Don't worry about them, let's go." ”
Salyo nodded, and he also said that he should enter the city early to get some rest.
And ended the cooperation with Zhang Chen, no matter what happened next, it had nothing to do with him.
Xu Yingying watched Zhang Chen leave without speaking, but snorted.
Wang Yu asked, "What's wrong?" The city is just ahead, let's go in and hide from the sun, it's too dry and hot here. ”
"Enter in batches, no more than ten people can enter at a time, and everyone will spread out and enter the city from all directions!"
"Why is that?"
Wang Yu was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be better for us to go in together?" ”
"Brother Wang Yu, you are so stupid!"
"So many of us have too big a goal, and people who have a heart will remember us at once."
"Assuming that the people of Australia have entered Hourglass City, then we will become their live targets if we enter together!?"
"So you have to go in batches, a maximum of three or five people live together, and everyone has to spread out!"
"It's a pity that the chat channels and regional channels are blocked when entering here, otherwise it would be more convenient to communicate."
"Zhang Chen must have discovered this, so he didn't wait for us."
"And he followed the caravan into Hourglass City, which can be said to minimize the risk of his exposure."
"No one knows him, and then even we don't know what he's going to do, where he's going to live, and he's hiding himself well!"
"Anyway, after entering the city, let's go to our own mobile cameras!"
Xu Yingying said loudly to everyone.
Then let Wang Yu choose two people to follow them.
"Chang Hao, Xiao Fan, you two come with me."
Chang Hao and Xiao Fan walked out of the team, and after Zhang Chen entered the city, these four people also entered the city.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and then gradually entered the city.
Hundreds of people were dispersed, in batches, and entered the city at different times, so that they would not attract a lot of attention.
After everyone entered the city, there were no ripples.
Zhang Chen followed the caravan and did not leave, and Salyo asked curiously, "Brother Zhang Chen, what else do you have to do?" ”
"Of course, I'd like you to help me buy a few sets of the same clothes and book a hotel for me."
The worldview of the Yellow Sand Plane is roughly the same as the timeline of Earth's first industrial revolution.
Industry had just developed rapidly, with inventions such as the steam engine and the automobile, but of course there were no such things in such a barren hourglass city.
But there are also all sorts of small electrical devices, which of course only the best hotels have.
Salyo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare for you, Zhang Chen, you wait a while." ”
Zhang Chen nodded and followed the camel team to rest, and after a while, Salyo walked back with his clothes.
"I see that your figure is about the same as mine, you try it, if it doesn't work, I'll change it."
Zhang Chen took off his clothes, and the lined Yang Yan suit outlined Zhang Chen's sturdy body perfectly.
Even Salyo and the others looked sideways when they saw it.
The clothes he was wearing were already covered with grit, and it was just right to change into the clothes Salyo had prepared for himself.
"You don't need to change it, it fits perfectly."
Salyo praised: "Brother Zhang Chen, your figure is so good, I think no matter what woman sees your figure, she will fall in love with you." ”
Zhang Chen laughed and said, "Is the hotel I want booked?" ”
Salyo handed the key to Zhang Chen and continued: "The best hotel here, but I only paid for one day. ”
"By the way, if you're looking for news about the Golden City, then Little John's Tavern should be a good choice."
Salyo bowed slightly and said, "Brother Zhang Chen, let's put it separately here?" ”
Zhang Chen smiled and nodded: "I've been bothering you for half a day." ”
"There's one more thing I want you to ask you about, no matter what anyone says, you can't mention today's events, you understand?"
Salyo said solemnly: "I understand, although Hourglass City is far away from the management of the state, I don't think your actions want to be targeted by the state, right!?" ”
Zhang Chen was dumbfounded, it seems that Salyo will be mistaken, but it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't say what he has seen today.
"Well, that's it, if I have a chance to dig up gold, maybe I'll be able to share a lot more with you."
"Then you don't have to."
Salyo knows very well what can and cannot be reconciled, and life is more important than gold.
"We're gone, goodbye."
Salyo left with the caravan, and when he left, he also told Zhang Chen some information about Hourglass City.
Zhang Chen followed what Salyo said and came to the largest hotel in Hourglass City, the Wiki Hotel.
"This is my key, I'm going to stay for seven days, I've just paid for a day, right?"
The front desk of the hotel was a middle-aged woman, who nodded and said, "It's already registered." ”
Zhang Chen took out a gold nugget and threw it to the middle-aged woman and said, "I think this should be enough, and you can exchange the rest of the trouble for money for me." ”
The middle-aged woman was also stunned when she saw Zhang Chen's big money, and immediately carefully picked up the gold nuggets and confirmed it several times before handing over the rest of the money to Zhang Chen.
Then he politely took Zhang Chen to his room, and at the same time said that if there was anything, it would be okay to tell her.
Zhang Chen nodded and said that it was okay not to disturb him.
The room was very simple, of course, Zhang Chen didn't come to stay in the hotel, and he didn't salute in his hand, so after looking at the room, he casually found someone to inquire about the location of Little John's tavern and went there.
Even though it was daytime, Little John's tavern was still bustling with people, and many people were drinking here to pass the time.
Zhang Chen was dressed the same as this group of people, and there was no sense of abruptness after entering the tavern.
After ordering a glass of wine at the bar counter, Zhang Chen sat quietly and listened to everyone's conversation.
"Got that!? Golden City! ”
"Of course I heard that, MD, I heard that it's all gold!"
"When are we going to find a way to make a wave of gold!"
"It's also dangerous, I heard it's a tomb cursed by the Pharaoh."
"So what? Isn't there still a kid who escaped! ”
Sure enough, most of what Zhang Chen heard was about the Golden City, and it seems that the popularity of the Golden City has reached the point where everyone knows it!
