Chapter 15: The New Town and the Old City

Li Xingyun walked in the shadow of the high-rise buildings in the old city, looking around as he walked towards the new city.

Although the buildings on both sides are a little dilapidated, they are generally in good condition, but there are still very few people living in this area.

After walking for a few minutes, it seemed that the closer I got to the new city, the more dilapidated the buildings next to it became, as if I had experienced some kind of tragic battle.

Bare reinforced concrete, next to a pile of abandoned and rusty cars, in some places have completely collapsed into a pile of rubble.

But even in this environment, there are people who live here, and they don't seem to care about the environment they live in.

There are men and women, old and young, but the eyes they look at Li Xingyun are very similar, empty, numb, and deeply vigilant in their eyes.

But when they saw Li Xingyun's slightly clean clothes, there was more fear in their eyes.

Li Xingyun seemed to have become accustomed to it, and looked up at the end of the street in front of him.

At the end of the city is a city surrounded by huge walls, and the towering walls stand like a hill.

From a distance, it looked like an ancient giant beast lying on its stomach, and the closer it got, the more I felt a kind of oppression and suffocation, as if it would be crushed and devoured by this behemoth beast at any time.

It is the so-called New Town, the largest and only safe zone in the east.

But at this time, or all the time, the entrance to the new city is very lively.

New Town, East Gate.

In front of the east gate, there is a large square where countless people gather every day.

"Newly killed S-class alien beast meat! Make sure you eat it and become an S-class ability! Come and see! ”

"A veteran hunter with 10 years of experience leads the way, as long as 10 star coins."

Li Xingyun glanced at the stall shouting S-class alien beast meat, on which there was a blur of flesh and blood that I didn't know what kind of meat.

When the others saw it, they began to taunt the stall owner: "It's still S-class alien beast meat, you said that you are not even an E-level alien ability, and you can't enter the door of the new city, so you died of laughter." ”

"Hmph, it's as if you can enter the new city, Lao Tzu will wake up sooner or later." The stall owner replied unconvinced.

"Dreaming, everyone knows that as long as you don't wake up as an adult, you won't wake up."

"Maybe Lao Tzu will wake up one day after some adventure."

"Haha, just you?"

"I ......"

didn't continue to pay attention to their quarrel, and the big screen in the square seemed to be more interested in Li Xingyun.

In the picture of the screen, the sky is like fire, the remnant sun is like blood, and the devastated bloody ground is covered with corpse remains.

Between heaven and earth stood the figure of a warrior wearing golden armor and holding a blood-colored giant sword.

His back stood upright, and an unyielding fighting spirit seemed to reach into the sky.

The huge beasts on the opposite side roared fiercely in the sky, and the battle seemed to be about to break out.

At this time, the screen switches, and a virtual woman with a vague appearance appears, and a mechanical female voice is heard.

"In the 20th year of the new century, the Eastern Security Zone united the other four major security zones in the north, west, south and central to use the mysterious products of the catastrophic period.

Created this 99.9% virtuality, the latest intelligent technology runs autonomously, full of infinite possibilities and unknowns of the new world game - "New Era".

The style of the basic game landing device is optional, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, only 50 star coins.

There is also a deluxe version of the game warehouse, which brings you the ultimate sensory experience, only 999 star coins. ”

After reading the game advertisement, Li Xingyun turned around and walked towards the door.

The front gate of the new city is very spacious, and although there are many people in the square, except for those who can enter the new city, others do not dare to block the gate of the new city.

Li Xingyun took out his identity card and swept it at the instrument at the door, and a green light immediately lit up on it, and a mechanical voice came.

"D-Class status passed."

As soon as he stepped into the city gate, a trace of coldness hit him, as if he had stepped into the mouth of a giant beast, and a cold and bloody breath came to his face.

The city gate and the stone wall next to it are covered with potholes, silently telling the tragic years of the past.

The moment he walked out of the city gate, the warmth enveloped his whole body, and the dazzling sunlight made Li Xingyun's eyes squint slightly, and he was a little used to looking up at the new city.

All that catches your eye is a forest of high-rise buildings, row after row, one after another.

The new city is divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D by cross streets, and there is an independent high-rise building in the center, which is occupied by the managers of the new city, who are in charge of the daily operation of the new city.

On the left side of the east gate is Zone D, and on the right side is Zone C.

Area C is not only an area where C-class and B-class abilities live, but also the largest shopping mall, martial arts hall, and restaurant in the new town.

Li Xingyun arrived at the shopping mall called New Century Mall in Area C in less than two minutes.

Game advertisements are also playing at the door.

As soon as you enter the door, you will find an area where gaming equipment is sold, and there is already a large queue of people who have purchased them.

Li Xingyun had bought game equipment here before, and this time it was to buy some nutritional paste.

After buying, Li Xingyun returned to the edge of the east of the old city.

Glancing at the quiet shop on the side of the road, Li Xingyun didn't bother the old man anymore and walked into the endless forest in front of him.

……

The sunlight shines through the forest, and beams of light and shadow are intertwined.

The breeze blew, and some of the withered yellow leaves on the branches fell.

The ground is covered with thick leaves, and it is very soft to step on.

After walking for a while, Li Xingyun looked back and could no longer see the shadow of the city behind him.

Stand still for a moment, surrounded by the sound of leaves except insects and birds.

Li Xingyun's body was slowly enveloped in a layer of pale cyan energy.

Immediately after that, Li Xingyun jumped up, and then the whole person flickered forward quickly in the forest.

"Huh"

"Huh"

In a few breaths, he came to the center of the forest, and a figure as light as a feather fell, and Li Xingyun gently stepped on a towering giant tree.

This one stands out far from the huge trees around it, with a huge canopy of foliage.

Li Xingyun seemed to have returned to his mother's arms, and habitually lay on a thick branch.

The sun shines through the leaves, and a breeze blows, dissipating the impetuousness of the whole body.

After resting for a while, Li Xingyun took out a stick of nutritional paste and squeezed it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Then he clicked his finger on the game ring, and a small pale blue screen appeared, showing the login entrance and the game forum.

I felt the surroundings slightly, and after finding nothing abnormal, I turned the device back on, and without looking any more, I clicked my finger to choose to log in.

In an instant, a mysterious energy fluctuation came from the ring.

Li Xingyun seemed to be seen through for a moment, but he didn't feel any malice and destruction in this fluctuation.

In the next second, Li Xingyun felt as if he had fallen into an endless dark abyss, his consciousness fell rapidly, and then a flash of white light appeared out of thin air, and his consciousness was quickly pulled back.

A dazzling light made Li Xingyun subconsciously close his eyes.
