Chapter Eighty-Three: Moving On
Jiang Yang stood up suddenly, clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed into the mutant Zhang De, the mutant only had time to fold his hands in front of his chest in a hurry, this was the result of Jiang Yang deliberately slowing down the speed of the attack, if it was such a close distance and did not leave his hands to sneak attack, I was afraid that the other party would not even have time to react.
"Boom!" The mutant was blasted out several meters away in a half-sitting and half-up position, and the chair under him was also shattered by this blow, and the mutant Zhang De was furious after stabilizing himself, his body bowed slightly, and his hands popped out of his claws, looking like he was about to attack.
"You don't seem to have the same strength! Is the underworld ruled by people of your calibre? Jiang Yang waved his right fist wrapped in inky silver scale armor and said in a disdainful tone.
"Whew... Whew..."The other party didn't speak, just kept taking a deep breath, and bursts of unpleasant smell erupted from his mouth and nose, even after the double filtration of the mask and the communication mask, Jiang Yang still smelled a trace of disgusting smell, definitely a foul smell that had not been brushed for countless years!
Made! Miscalculated, this guy will still have this kind of chemical attack, Jiang Yang took two steps back, he felt better, turned his head and looked, Situ Linyue was about to run out, it seems that the filtering ability of the soldier's mask is much worse than that of the ten masters!
Jiang Yang saw that the other party still didn't speak, and he didn't bother to wait any longer, so he walked out of the door directly and headed outside, such a coward mutant was really bloodless, and he didn't even give Jiang Yang a chance to kill it.
Situ Linyue followed Jiang Yang closely, it seems that since she came into contact with the people in this underground world, this girl has never said a word, basically she has been following Jiang Yang with her head hanging slightly, could it be that this girl is a social terrorist?
Jiang Yang suddenly felt that everything made sense, no wonder he hadn't made much progress after exploring here for a year, he only figured out some basic and simple questions, and after meeting someone, he looked like a little daughter-in-law, it turned out to be a social phobia girl!
Hahahaha! Jiang Yang laughed wildly in his heart, it seemed that he had made a mistake, Miss Situ Linyue was able to communicate with herself calmly after seeing herself, and she also took a bath in her RV when she met for the first time, and even lived in the same room with herself at night, what does this mean! For a young lady who is afraid of society, this is already treating herself as a mature person, and she is even full of good feelings for herself!
Jiang Yang suddenly wanted to slap himself hard at this moment, Tianhu was almost collapsed by himself at the beginning, in this case, as long as he keeps warm and cares for the character from time to time, and respects the other party, I am afraid that it will not be long before the young lady will take the initiative to assault herself!
Ay! Damn! But it's still too late to redeem it, but I hate that I just deliberately used a nickname to stimulate others.
The two strode forward, Jiang Yang walked in front, and took Situ Linyue all the way straight to the official road leading to the next tower.
Halfway through, he turned his head slightly to look at the rear, except for the young lady who followed the broken steps briskly, no one else followed, and Jiang Yang walked directly into the road to the outside world with confidence.
"Whew..."It was obviously the sound of the wind brought by the swing of the fist, Jiang Yang forcibly held back and did not dodge, and let the steel powder fist of the young lady in the rear pound on his body.
Bang! Bang! Jiang Yang, who was hammered several times in a row, bared his teeth for a while! I really didn't spare my hand these few times!
The thumping sound continued, but it had no strength, and it hit the body like a frolic between ordinary couples.
"Let you give me a nickname! Gives you nicknames! The chattering voice came, it seems that the young lady doesn't like the sonorous title of the overlord flower very much!
When he felt about the same, Jiang Yang grabbed the steel soft fist that continued to be pounded behind him, and after holding it, the other party was obviously stunned, and then he retracted his hand with a cold snort, and the steel hammer beating was finally over.
"Miss Situ doesn't know, these two names are the heroic code names of a pair of brothers and sisters who are very famous in the place where I was born, and they are highly respected in the local area!"
"Humph!" The young lady still snorted coldly, but unfortunately she couldn't see what the expression of the pretty face under the mask was. Looks like a tsundere! To be honest, Jiang Yang doesn't like this kind of personality very much, Jiang Yang's favorite is the gentle and obedient royal sister and beautiful woman.
"Has Miss Situ been in contact with these mutants before?" Seeing this, Jiang Yang changed the topic and asked directly about the matter.
Situ Linyue still turned her head and said nothing, looking still angry.
"Little sister, I was wrong, I just arrived, you don't say anything, I can only communicate with them, you can't blame me all!" Jiang Yang felt that if the other party continued to be arrogant, he would leave it at that, and go one side on both sides of the road.
"Why do you go up and are all kinds of provocative sarcasm? What should I do if I annoy the other person? Situ Linyue's cold and soft voice came, just hearing such a pleasant voice, Jiang Yang dispelled all bad thoughts! What a parting of ways! To each his own thing! What's wrong with such a beautiful young lady tsundere! That's the best!
"I've seen all kinds of evil deeds of those mutants in the gathering place before, and they are all light in terms of exhaustion, so I did it on purpose, just to provoke the other party to make a move, as long as he dares to make a move just now, I will destroy them all, but it's a pity, this guy is so enduring, so we have to be more careful in the face of them in the future, reckless opponents are easier to do, just bomb and kill directly, this kind of forbearance will use some conspiracy methods and the like." Jiang Yang spoke his mind.
"This trip is dominated by you, I will only fight with you, if there is a battle, I will fully cooperate with you, and it is up to you to deal with them." Situ Linyue's firm and somewhat helpless voice came.
"Sister, do you have any good ideas?" Jiang Yang still thinks it's better to ask first.
"No, I haven't had direct contact with them for so long, I've been secretly observing, and I told you everything I know about the situation here." Situ Linyue said slowly.
It's a real hammer! Situ Linyue is a little sister of social fear! Perfect! This kind of personality is the first choice to be a girlfriend and a virtuous helper!
Hey! Jiang Yang laughed out loud carelessly!
"Huh?" The young lady turned her head and looked over.
"It's okay! It's just that this place is really different from the previous gathering places, and I can't think of a good way to raid it, the previous place can also start to attack through food and the threat of mutant people and mutant beasts, but it's completely different here, there is no shortage of food and drink, and it is not threatened by mutant beasts, and mutants are still the ruling class, which is really difficult to do! It seems that there is no other way but to force it. Jiang Yang said his thoughts, and it was indeed a little difficult to start here.
"Well, that's the case, not to mention that this place is so far away from the advance base, even if you subdue ordinary people, you can't bring it back, bringing a small number of people is not enough to consume all the way back and forth, if you bring a large number of people back, it will be difficult to solve the consumption of food and drink all the way, it is really difficult to do!" Miss Situ also agreed with Jiang Yang's statement, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
"That, can you ask, young lady, how many levels are you now?" Jiang Yang felt that it was better to ask.
"LV8, almost LV9."
I rub! It's the same level as yourself! Jiang Yang was a little depressed! Why does it feel like the little sister's fist is more than LV8!
"Then should we just kill all the way through? Or do you want to go to the capital first? Jiang Yang put forward his own idea.
"Why don't you go to the national capital first, if you kill all the way, I'm afraid it's not easy to do, in case they concentrate their firepower, it's not easy for the two of us to resist."
"Okay, then don't fight yet, and then talk about it after understanding the specific situation." Jiang Yang slapped the board.
The two continued to move forward, but the surroundings were basically all black, except for the luminous ores that appeared from time to time, it was really dark, Jiang Yang took out the homogeneous lightlight, and the front was suddenly bright, but unfortunately, if this flashlight is used at the maximum power, it can be used for three days at most, if it is used at the minimum power, it can be used for about ten days, the key is that Jiang Yang used the 100 points of the novice to exchange, and he didn't even prepare a backup energy battery, that is to say, this homogeneous light is equivalent to a disposable thing.
Directly adjust the power to the lowest, after the power is lowered, only the brightness and breadth decrease, after Jiang Yang adjusts for a while, the light shines far into the darkness in front of him, this kind of light is enough for the two of them.
"Sister, if you said it was in the underground world, I must have prepared a lot of lighting equipment first, this thing is just such a thing, there is no backup energy, and it will run out of energy in ten days and eight days." Jiang Yang couldn't help complaining, he only prepared a lot of food and water, as well as a lot of super-combusted wood blocks, and the key super-combusted wood blocks are not easy to use for lighting!
"It's good to walk a few more times, let your soul assistant write down the route, it doesn't make a difference whether there is light or not, sister, I just rely on groping to write down a lot of routes." Situ Linyue seemed to be in a much better mood, and explained softly.
"What my sister said makes sense!" Jiang Yang feels that sometimes, women's thinking is different.
The two of them chatted and walked outside the road for almost an hour before they saw the next glowing tower gathering place in the distance.
Along the way, the two of them studied on both sides of the road many times, and even dug the soil for a while, and finally figured out the mode of sending water to the many towers around the country, and there was a metal pipe placed two meters underground on the side of the road, about 20 centimeters thick, its material was bright silver metal, and there was no rust It should be made of stainless steel, and the inside should be the pipeline that transports water, because this thing is an important life channel in the rear gathering place, and Jiang Yang didn't cut the pipe to see.
I don't know if it will be considered a meritorious service and law currency if it cuts off the water source of the gathering place or kills a large number of underground people by poisoning, this kind of thinking Jiang Yang just thought about it, if Jiang Yang is allowed to do this directly, Jiang Yang still can't make up his mind, after all, whether there is a profit is still unknown, if there is no income and a large number of indigenous people die, Jiang Yang feels that this kind of cruel thing he still can't do at present.
"There's another tower ahead, sister, are we going around it or are we swaggering over like we just did?" Jiang Yang slowed down and turned his head to look at Miss Situ beside him.
"It must have been bypassed! Swaggering to find trouble! The young lady gently gave Jiang Yang a punch, well, this punch is comfortable, if only he could beat all the way.
"Let's go, go farther from the side." Jiang Yang looked at Situ Linyue with a little strangeness, why didn't I see you take a detour when I was in the first tower! With his own swagger all the way, and said that he deliberately attracted attention, Jiangyang was ready for battle.
"Humph!" The young lady snorted lightly and took the lead and walked to the side.
It was nearly an hour to stop and go just now, and it was estimated that at the speed of the two of them, it was estimated that they had walked about ten kilometers, that is, twenty miles, and I don't know if the distance between the subsequent towers was also like this.
The two of them circled around the light of the tower, because they walked very fast, and after a while, they went around and walked to the official road to continue their march towards the national capital.
"Sister, are all the precautions here so lax? There are no patrols or anything like that, and there is no defense system, not even those small gathering places on the ground! "Jiang Yang saw that this second tower was the same as the first one, there was no defense at all, if this situation was attacked, it was estimated that there was no power to resist!
"My sister has seen all the towers gathering places like this, and there are few patrols and guards, probably because this place has been peaceful for a long time!" Situ Linyue took off the mask at some point, revealing a delicate face.
"My sister said before that there would be resistance forces, and the national capital was often surrounded and suppressed, what is the situation! Looking at these two towers, it doesn't look like they have been in a war! Jiang Yang remembered what Situ Linyue said before, and felt that the actual situation was not like that.
"My sister has seen a team attack a tower gathering place, and it is a real life-and-death fight between each other, and the people in that tower are basically killed in the end, only some young women and children are taken away, but no mutants have died, so my sister guesses that it is a means to reduce the population."
"That's not easy! It seems that the guys who built the empire probably thought of everything, and waited until they arrived in the capital to see their specific form of rule. Jiang Yang felt that this way of depleting the population must be a good reason and excuse, and it was estimated that outsiders would not be able to establish prestige and replace the original ruler by saving some ordinary people.
The two of them kept walking along the road towards the national capital, and all the towers they encountered along the way were bypassed, and the first gathering place didn't seem to transmit the news to the national capital, at least the towers they saw along the way were all the same, and there were no precautions.
"I've arrived, it's not far from the national capital, I've only seen it from afar, and I've not been in, and then I'm going to see the opportunity to act, brother, don't be too reckless, be cautious just in case." Situ Linyue gently grabbed Jiang Yang, and then turned her head and reminded Jiang Yang cautiously.
Along the way, plus the first tower gathering place, there are a total of nine towers, according to the calculation of 20,000 people living in a tower gathering place, there are also 180,000 people, this is the number of people on a road, it is not clear how many such towers are distributed in total, and the number of people in this national capital is estimated to be not less, so calculated, the population of the underground world here is really calculated by millions.
Along the way, Jiang Yang has always followed the rules and etiquette, and has never overstepped the rules, Situ Linyue has gradually recovered her original attitude, and has resumed the title of sister and brother, which makes Jiang Yang more sure of the way of communication, just be gentle and be a calm and warm man, and the young lady will take the initiative to attack herself.
"Do we dare to enter the capital directly? The guards here are obviously much stricter, and if you enter directly from the city gate, you will definitely be discovered, and we can't hide our appearance and dress! Jiang Yang looked at the young lady beside him, don't make a decision directly about this kind of thing, respecting the other party's opinion is what a warm man should do, and at the same time of consultation, he must put forward his own ideas, to be a steel warm man, not a sissy mother Bao Nan who does not dare to make a decision, there is still an essential difference between the two.
"Why don't we sneak in at night, if we get targeted." Situ Linyue said with some confidence.
"Okay, let's find a place to rest far away, and then climb over the wall after night in the city." Jiang Yang said and walked to the side, it is really not too good to go in directly, let's go into the city tonight to find out.
Situ Linyue seemed to really focus on Jiang Yang, so she didn't say much, just followed Jiang Yang and left.
Time passed quickly, Jiang Yang and the two of them also kept observing the city gate city wall on a rock wall, the city gate was guarded by guards, there was a row of lighthouses illuminated in front of the city gate, and there were many shooting points on the city wall, but there were not many people on duty, it was estimated that it was used in special wartime, and Jiang Yang and Situ Linyue discussed the place to enter during the observation.
From a distance, the city is almost dark, only the city gate is still brightly lit, only a few sentry posts on the city wall are lit, and the guards inside don't know if they are staring down, anyway, there is no one patrolling back and forth on the city wall.
Jiang Yang turned his head and nodded at Situ Linyue, the young lady also nodded lightly, seeing that the other party had already understood what he meant, Jiang Yang directly bent down and went straight to the breakthrough point that had just been agreed, the two of them quickly came to the city wall in the dark, lightly buckled the stone crack, the two of them climbed the city wall six or seven meters high, turned over and jumped, and the two of them stood firmly on the city wall, the sentry posts on both sides did not find it, the two of them directly turned over and pulled the wall, and soon went down to the inside of the city wall along the stone crack, everything went smoothly, The guard at the sentry post is also a fortune teller, if Jiang Yang and the two are found, I am afraid that Jiang Yang will not be soft-hearted, and the two have already discussed this situation when they are looking for a wall climbing point in the afternoon, and there is no other way than to kill the target quickly.
The situation inside the city wall has not been seen by the two, so according to the agreement, the two of them went to the side in the dark, trying to avoid the central area, normally the ruling center is located in the center, at least close to the most central place, anyway, the direction chosen by Jiang Yang and the two will definitely not be that kind of important area, if this situation really happens, then they have to consider themselves unlucky.
