Chapter 205: Into the City

Hundreds of years are enough time for a small tree to grow into a towering ancient tree, and this is the place where Zhou Zhongmou travels. The original city was reduced to ruins, and after only a few hundred years of human activity, the city became a forest. Walking along the river is not often accompanied by ruins, in any case, the cataclysm of hundreds of years ago has changed the terrain, and the river is likely to be a diversion of the past or simply a new river, so there are not many human cities living in the waterway and grass within the confines of the river. This place is a wilderness, and the precipitous terrain and dense forests and wild beasts that filled it after the Cataclysm have made it impossible for anyone to come except for the bandits or scavengers - the population of the continent today is not as large as it was six hundred years ago, and there is no population pressure to be reclaimed.

Some of the beasts in this world are the same as those on Earth, such as cats, canines, bears, and artiodactyls, but there are many more specific species than on Earth. "It feels as if all the 65 million years of evolution of the entire Cenozoic Era have appeared in this world, and it is really a place where biologists and paleontologists ascend to heaven," Zhou Zhongmou said happily as he looked at the Archaeopteryx that was not much bigger than a dog that ran away from his eyes. Speaking of which, these creatures did not appear before the cataclysm, at that time they were just ordinary creatures that could be seen on the earth or mixed, but I didn't expect these things to appear on the earth after the cataclysm six hundred years ago

"I believe more and more that this world is a world created by God," Zhou Zhongmou muttered as he looked at the beast on the grassland about a kilometer away from the woods with considerable admiration. As a man, Zhou Zhongmou was born with a love for those fierce beasts full of strength and beauty—what he saw now was the giant short-faced bear that appeared in the Pliocene on Earth. Looking at this beast with an appearance that was almost the same as his transformed skull. Although Zhou Zhongmou knew very well that after his transformation, he was even more powerful and magnificent than this beast that was four meters tall when he was standing. But he was still very impressed by the power and ferocity of the beast. "What a beautiful and ferocious beast!"

Of course, there are also some beautiful beasts that survive – such as the bison, which are the prey of giant short-faced bears. Huge bison that stands more than two meters tall at the shoulder. Although the mainland is not as full of fantasy as Remilet Island, the wild spirit still fascinates Zhou Zhongmou. "I think it's so much more spectacular than on Earth," Zhou Zhongmou sighed as he looked at the herds of mastodons and giant rhinos roaming the savanna.

On the mainland, at least where Zhou Zhongmou is, it is a paradise for beasts, and naturally it is also the paradise of today's savage Zhou Zhongmou. The current Zhou Zhongmou was strong enough that he was not afraid of any beast at all when he walked—he himself was the biggest and strongest beast among them. After walking for a while, the guy simply managed to cram everything on his body into space. He transformed into a dark beast and roamed the land. For a moment, he was not in a hurry to find a human settlement, but wandered in the wilderness.

The terrain here is quite complicated, the land that was originally the Kingdom of Bourbon was uplifted due to the cataclysm, and new mountains were raised, but there are also some original peaks that have collapsed into flat land, and the entire terrain here has been directly transformed from a prosperous place with a fairly good industrial and agricultural population that was quite well developed in the past to a wild land today. Zhou Zhongmou is like a fish in water, after all, after becoming a beast, all the qiē has become quite simple, isn't it - at least you don't need to cook it for dinner, and you don't seem to need to wipe your ass after the tuba

This gigantic beast, standing more than eight meters tall on its two legs, had just knocked down a mastodon, and was tearing at the flesh of its chest and abdomen as if it were a real beast - since the mutation. Zhou Zhongmou found that his huge appetite had decreased significantly after his original transformation, and now if he transformed into a beast. That's 10 to 15 kilograms of meat a day. "This appetite is not much different from that of a lion and a tiger."

Although he was a savage and interested in roaming the wilderness, he inevitably approached the human city. On this very day, Zhou Zhongmou had forgotten how many days had passed since he landed on the mainland, and he saw the shadow of the city looming in the distance. Zhou Zhongmou regained his human form, once again put on ordinary short clothes and cloak, and held a sapper shovel in his hand, and walked towards the distant city.

As the distance got closer, about five or six kilometers from the city, Zhou Zhongmou found traces of human activity. The most obvious is the appearance of the road, although this road is a dirt road, but the vegetation on both sides can clearly indicate that it has been cut down. There was not a single person around, and it seemed that this direction was not the main traffic artery of the city. Zhou Zhongmou looked back, "That's right, the only thing you can go in this direction is the wilderness" When the distance was shortened to about three kilometers, Zhou Zhongmou saw the flat ground with obvious traces of flame burning, and the plants planted on it Zhou Zhongmou also recognized that it was wheat. In contrast to this, there is a fence at the edge of these fields, and among them are three or five houses made of stone and thatch, and from the window Zhou Zhongmou can see the face of the indifferent farmer who is hiding in the hiding area. A little further afield, Zhou Zhongmou also saw a tall windmill, which means that this is a typical peasant's hut similar to the Middle Ages.

Finally able to see the city wall clearly, Zhou Zhongmou looked at the stone city wall with a height of no more than three meters, and muttered in his mouth: "It looks quite rich, and he can actually build a stone city wall." "There are a few soldiers guarding the city gate with spears and wearing tattered chain mail, and they are looking at Zhou Zhongmou very vigilantly. Obviously, the population coming and going here is limited, and most of these soldiers guarding the city gate know everyone in this small city, so they are naturally very wary of outsiders like Zhou Zhongmou. Zhou Zhongmou didn't enter the city for the first time, but instead stood aside and looked at the city carefully. A very ridiculous feeling came over him, as if it wasn't that long ago, and it felt like hundreds of years and thousands of years ago, he had been like this, wearing a cloak to hide his identity, standing in front of the gate of a small city, looking east and west. "This is reincarnation?" Zhou Zhongmou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and all kinds of feelings for unknown reasons came to his heart for a while. It was the first time I felt that he was getting old

It was indeed a small city, and the three-meter-high walls were not all made of stone - the fifty or sixty-meter-wide frontal stone wall stretched out again was a spiked fence made of large logs, which defended the "city" of tens of thousands of square meters. There were not many people entering and leaving the city gate, and what Zhou Zhongmou saw was about one person in more than ten minutes, so the attention of those soldiers was focused on him. Zhou Zhongmou took out a shining silver coin from his arms, and then walked to the city gate.

The gate is actually ridiculous - about two meters high and almost three meters wide, and it doesn't look like there is a gate, but there is a wooden gate hanging from the top, which looks like it can be lowered by a winch. Although the soldiers at the city gate were very vigilant, when Zhou Zhongmou handed over a silver coin, these guys didn't stop him from entering at all - although they didn't understand what they said (to be continued......
