It is three kilometers away from the Quiet Zone.

There is a small gathering area.

It's called the Bunker.

The reason why a gathering area was established not far from the [Quiet Zone] was because the deterrent effect of the [Quiet Zone] was large enough.

Those powerful high-level Darkface Beasts will naturally avoid the location of the [Quiet Zone].

As long as you don't go crazy and don't run to the [Quiet Zone] if you have nothing to do, in most cases, the gathering area is still very safe.

In rare cases –

Every hundred years or so, several pitch-black monsters will rush out of the [Quiet Zone].

These pitch-black monsters seem to be unconscious, and all that is left is an uncontrollable appetite.

The gathering area has been prepared for this for a long time, and it will be established underground first, and when the black monster appears, all entrances and exits will be blocked as soon as possible.

Humans are indeed many times smaller than the Dark-Faced Beasts, and the pitch-black monsters are not very interested in humans in the first place.

Often, as soon as they come out, they go for those dark-faced beasts.

For more than 100 years, the gathering area has been uneventful.

This is probably the most dangerous place, the safest place.

Xiao Nan crawled out of the cramped rest room.

No way, the rest room is only the size of a bed, and the entrance and exit are low and narrow.

That's it, Xiao Nan felt very satisfied.

At least she has a separate rest room, so she doesn't have to lie in the same bed as someone else when she sleeps.

Chase shop is cheap.

But you have to face snoring, smelly feet, dreams talking, body odor...... And so on and so forth.

Even if Xiao Nan is a girl, there is no preferential treatment for sleeping in a chase shop.

At most, they sleep on the side of the women, and the men on the opposite side can't avoid it, so there is a curtain in the middle.

No way, the underground space is too small.

The population is growing.

The size of the space does not match the increasing population, so it naturally becomes so aggrieved.

In fact, the leader and the elders did not think about expanding the underground space.

But the problem is that the surrounding soil is too soft, and even if it is expanded, a series of stable reinforcements must be carried out on the expanded place.

The cost is too high, but the gain is very small, and the gains outweigh the losses.

As a result, the underground area of the dark castle has always shown this narrow and cramped appearance.

The space on the other side of the square is a little spacious.

But it was for passing travelers, and it didn't have Xiao Nan's share.

In the Ming world, there is still legal maintenance, and on the dark side, it is the strength of Chiguoguo that is respected.

Whether it is a traveler who can walk alone, or a caravan of ten or twenty people, no one who can walk in the dark side is weak.

It's not a master, it's a big master, it's not simple anyway.

Xiao Nan's talent is good, and there is a certain chance of becoming a master before the age of twenty.

An elder wanted to take her as a concubine, but she refused.

She knew exactly what she had refused.

Talent is the premise, and resources are the decisive factor.

The so-called certain chance of becoming a master refers to the situation of a large number of dark side resources.

If you are only a civilian in the Bunker and want to become a master?

I'm afraid it won't be after the age of thirty or forty.

The energy of the dark side is richer than that of the Ming world.

But for living organisms, more energy is not always better.

It is not uncommon for energy erosion to cause people to go crazy.

But if you can erase the side effects of full energy, no matter how poor your talent is, you can become a master in about thirty.

The elder who fell in love with Xiao Nan is not too old, and he looks okay.

The realm of the Great Master, in his early sixties, is actually in the prime of life.

If nothing else, the master will live to be at least one hundred and thirty years old, and if he can eat something good, he may be able to live to one hundred and fifteen.

But the problem is that this elder already has a wife, and he is also a great master.

To be a concubine, Xiao Nan did not resist, and even held the dream of a sparrow flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix.

But as soon as she thought of this wife, her dream was suddenly shattered, and she immediately calmed down instantly.

A jealous wife doesn't matter.

But if this jealous wife is also a master, it will matter.

Xiao Nan didn't want to die unclear, so he finally rejected the elder.

Although the elder felt pity, he didn't embarrass Xiao Nan afterwards.

After all, Xiao Nan was a native of the Dark Castle, and as long as the rules of the Dark Castle were still there, even if this elder wanted to do something, he had to think about the consequences.

It is not very cost-effective to lose the position of elder for a woman.

Naturally, I didn't care about it.

Xiao Nan didn't think this was the end of it.

Her rejection of an elder meant that she could not accede to any of the elders' requests for acceptance.

To put it bluntly, the road of exchanging a young body for a future was blocked all of a sudden.

Yes, this elder has let Xiao Nan go now.

But if there is still an elder who wants to take Xiao Nan as a concubine, if Xiao Nan agrees, there is a chance that he will be slapped to death by the previous elder.

I proposed to you to take a concubine, but you refused, and when someone else proposed, you agreed? What do you take me for?

Although this is not strictly a crime, if it is to say, no one can say that it is not.

If something really happened like this, Xiao Nan was really going to be shot to death by the previous elders, and if she died, she would die, but no one would administer justice to her.

Xiao Nan has a very sober understanding of his appearance and figure, and he is above average, and he is not a real beauty.

The reason why she is now favored by the elders is that she takes advantage of her youth, and her youth is attractive.

Swapping their youth and body for their own future, most of the women in the bunker are not rejected.

If it weren't for the rules of the dark castle, each elder would have more than a dozen concubines.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Nan's mood couldn't help but darken, his road was completely blocked, there was no shortcut, and he could only come step by step.

She is now an observer.

In the Bunker, the job pays mediocre but has good benefits.

Not only can it have a separate lounge, but it also includes lunch and evening meals.

But even so, there are still very few people willing to do the job.

Because the observation room where the [observer] is located is located at the highest point of the bunker, about five meters above the surface.

For people living in underground bunkers, leaving the underground represents a kind of insecurity.

First of all, the dark energy on the surface is far less stable than that underground, and it is high and low, which is not conducive to the improvement of the bloodline.

Secondly, the occasional extreme weather is even more unbearable, either hot or cold.

Even if the [observers] are treated well, not many people are willing to do it.

I'm afraid that if there is an extreme cold one day, I can't run in the observation room, and I will freeze to death.

This has not happened before.

Xiao Nan actually didn't want to do it.

But since she rejected the elder's request, and I don't know if it was her delusion, it has become particularly difficult for her to find a job.

There are all good jobs, and the bottom job is willing to ask her, but she is unwilling to do it.

After thinking about it, in the end, she still did this somewhat unlucky job in the eyes of others.

The observation room is actually a fully enclosed building.

However, because of the glass panels that are viewed outward, the resistance to extreme weather is really not high.

If you are not careful, the glass will be frozen and cracked, and the heat will explode.

The extreme cold or high temperature of the outside world will sweep in.

If it is a sublimator, it is really no ability to resist at all, and he is frozen to death and heat to death.

Xiao Nan felt that his talent was okay, and before the age of eighteen, he had achieved the pilot level, and his resistance was stronger than that of the sublimator who worked before.

It will not be frozen to death and hot in an instant.

Doing this job is not looking for death.

It's a pity that the Dark Castle is too small, and the resources will only give Master-level privileges.

Listening to those wandering merchants, in some big dungeons, if you can become a pilot before eighteen, you can get additional treatment.

If you live there, you can't be more comfortable than in the Bunker.

But this kind of thing, Xiao Nan can only think about it.

After all, the location of the dark castle is too remote.

Even the traveling merchants are not very willing to come, and they come more than twice a year.

With Xiao Nan's current strength, do you want to go to the dungeon?

It's purely trying to eat fart.

The smaller the place, the more resources are skewed towards the top.

A lone traveler complained after walking around the dark castle, Xiao Nan remembered it clearly so far.

Before you don't have enough strength, you either need to find a backer, or you can be cowardly enough.

Since she still has to rely on the bunker for shelter now, whether she wants to or not, it is always good to be a little intimidating when she is at the top.

Xiao Nan has been an observer for more than a year now.

It's almost twenty years old.

The pressure that was originally enveloping her quietly dissipated.

Xiao Nan knew what was going on, but she still pretended not to know anything, and diligently acted in front of the observer.

There is no intention of au pairs.

I just hope that the jealous woman will forget her completely, so that maybe she can leave the bunker alive and go to the dungeon she longs for.

Push open the metal cover on top of your head.

Xiao Nan entered the observation room as usual.

Observing the dim light in the room, a chair was placed and a telescope looking at some rough benzene.

She sat down in her seat and let out a long sigh of relief.

Then on the control board on the edge of the seat, there was a tap.

Outside, the hanging cleaner outside the observation room emitted a humming sound, and after a few minutes, the outside of the glass panel was wiped clean.

As the glass panels were wiped clean, the light shining into the observation chamber from the outside became brighter.

The dimly lit observation room was instantly revealed.

Xiao Nan had been prepared for this and put on sunglasses in advance.

Then he reached out and grabbed the handle of the thick benzene telescope and pressed it down slightly.

Then adjust the focus with one hand, hold the telescope with the other, then close one eye and look down.

As the focal length becomes clearer.

The scene of a desolate and dilapidated village came into Xiao Nan's eyes.

Xiao Nan didn't care, but felt that today's [Quiet Zone] had not changed in the slightest.

Just when she was a little relaxed.

The ruined village in the horizon suddenly darkened.

The light became unusually dim, and there was a faint sense of distortion and blurring.

Xiao Nan was shocked, this ...... It's -

Dark energy gathering?!

It hasn't completely darkened, but the phenomenon of dark energy accumulation has occurred, what happened over there in the [Quiet Zone]?!
