Chapter 836: The Pig-Headed Man Visits
Passing through the somewhat crowded area on the outskirts of the city, the number of people on the streets became slightly thinner.
I walked a few hundred meters and was approached by at least four or five groups of people.
At first, Jingtian was very curious about all kinds of aliens, but as he watched more and more, he became numb.
These aliens look scary, but in fact their combat capabilities are relatively weak, and they are often despised by normal humans.
Fortunately, there are regulations in the city that prohibit killing and fighting on the main roads and trading places unless you are in the territory of other brigades.
Following Wu Zhi's guidance, Jingtian and Ao Shui walked forward for several thousand meters and turned into a fork in the road marked with a gray lane.
It turns out that the entrances to each area are clearly marked. If you enter without an ID card and are discovered, the lightest consequence is that you will be robbed of everything, even your ID card.
Once a person loses his license plate while alive, his life will be worse than death. Many people who lose their license plates will choose to leave the city and wait for death outside.
The nights here are not ordinary nights. If you leave the city and spend the night outside, 99% of the people will not live to see the next morning.
Even the alley is five meters wide, but there are no shops on both sides. They are just the back walls of residential houses without even windows.
The houses in the alley are all row houses, with an entrance every hundred meters. Jingtian and Aoshui walked forward, looking at the numbers marked on the doors to find the courtyard where Wu Zhi lived.
After walking around for another five or six minutes, I finally found the sign with the words "Grayjia 88" hanging on the door.
The entrance was only two meters wide and was a fully enclosed iron door that was tightly locked. Jingtian walked forward and found a very small flat hole next to the iron door and inserted his ID card into it.
Just like the access card in modern residential communities, after swiping the card, the lock inside the iron gate will open with a click, and then the iron gate will open with a gentle push.
This is also the reason why Jingtian insisted on finding the courtyard where Wu Zhi lived, because they could not enter other courtyards at all.
After the door opens, the first thing you see is a long corridor. There are rooms on both sides, so you have to walk through the corridor to enter the courtyard.
The yard is rectangular, one hundred meters long and only fifteen meters wide, with the houses on both sides facing each other.
There is a long row of houses with a door every five meters. Each room has only one window that is one meter square, which looks very much like the layout inside a prison.
There were some other people in the yard who were also wearing gray clothes. Each of them sat on a small stool. Some of them had a small table in front of them with a small amount of food or a pot of wine on it.
These people were all sitting there alone, and there wasn't even a table where two people were drinking together.
It’s not that there were no two people sitting together. Jingtian saw two short pig-headed men in the distance. They were the only two sitting together.
When the people in the yard saw Jingtian and Aoshui enter, they just glanced at them and ignored them.
Jingtian ignored these people and walked straight to Room 7 where Wu Zhi had lived before.
The door is still opened by inserting the ID card, so the anti-theft awareness is very strong.
Neither Jingtian nor Ao Shui noticed that after they entered the door, the two short pig-headed men in the corner of the yard looked at each other, and then started whispering to each other about something.
Jingtian was a little dumbfounded when he entered the room.
Simple and crude to the extreme!
This is Jingtian’s evaluation of the room.
There were two beds against the two walls, with a two-meter-wide aisle in the middle. There was a simple stone bedside table in the middle of each bed.
Apart from these, there are no other items to be seen.
The beds were all stone beds, covered with a dirty-looking skin of an unknown animal, and there were no quilts, pillows or anything like that.
"This should be no different from prison!"
Jingtian felt a little emotional. Although he had never actually visited the prison residence, he felt that it should be just like this.
"Actually, this is better than I thought. After all, the people here were captured to be used as beast fighters. It's not easy to have such a place to live." Ao Shui smiled faintly.
Jingtian was stunned, then nodded.
Indeed, people who come here have no human rights. It is already good enough that they are not forced to live in an open-air square or chained together.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Ao Shui sat on a stone bed and asked Jingtian.
"You go back to the space first. It's hard to maintain this body shape. I will study the food and medicine here, and then go to Wu Zhi to learn more, and then make the next plan." Jingtian said.
Ao Shui nodded immediately. Although his realm had improved again, it was indeed uncomfortable to shrink his body for such a long time.
Wu Zhi also said that basically no one would come to investigate the residence. After all, in the eyes of those cultivators, they would never be able to accomplish anything.
Even when we do a head count once a month, everyone is gathered outside for the count.
Just when Jingtian was about to send Ao Shui back to the dimension, their door was suddenly knocked.
Jingtian raised his eyebrows. Didn’t Wu Zhi say that people here never visit each other?
"Who?"
Jingtian asked in a deep voice while quickly contacting Wu Zhi to inquire about the situation.
As a result, this was the first time Wu Zhi encountered such a situation.
Jingtian can only act according to circumstances.
"Kron and Km have something to ask two friends, and we brought food and wine." A somewhat honest voice came from outside the door.
This greeting was not simple, because here people usually say their numbers when introducing themselves, but these two actually gave their names directly.
"alien?"
Jingtian raised his eyebrows. Before that, he had only seen two short pig-headed men in the yard.
After a slight hesitation, Jingtian walked forward and opened the door. Sure enough, the two short pig-headed men were outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Jingtian asked directly in a deep voice.
"Can you let us in first?" said a pig-headed man.
This pig-headed man is only about 1.3 meters tall, with a round body and short limbs. Although his face is a bit ugly, he looks cute overall.
Jingtian frowned and glanced at the other people in the yard, and found that someone had indeed noticed this place.
This made Jingtian feel a little unhappy.
Everything was fine when no one noticed it, but these two guys came to the door for no apparent reason and attracted some people's attention.
"Come in."
Although Jingtian was dissatisfied, he was also curious about the purpose of these two guys.
After letting the two little pig-headed men into the room, Jingtian closed the door casually.
Ao Shui can only stay indoors for the time being.
A pig-headed man was holding a cloth bag in his hand. He put it on the ground and opened it after entering the room.
There were two black things that looked like steamed buns, two bowls of black unknown objects, two plates of peanuts, and a black wine jug that held about one pound of wine.
As soon as Jingtian saw the colors of these things, he lost all appetite.
Looking at the two pig-headed people, they thought this pig food was delicious food? I was speechless.
"Forget about the food, can you tell me what's the matter?" Jingtian ignored the food and asked again.
"Well...we would like to ask you to fight in the next battle on our behalf." A pig-headed man said after hesitating for a moment.
"Fighting on your behalf?"
Jingtian narrowed his eyes. He was not clear about the situation, so he could only delay for a while and communicate with Wu Zhi again in his consciousness.
"So that's how it is. I had forgotten about this. It is very common to ask someone to fight in your place, especially for aliens. They have weak combat power and almost a 90% mortality rate when they go into battle. So they will desperately earn points in various ways in normal times. When it is their turn to go to the battlefield, they will spend the point cards to ask someone to fight in their place." Wu Zhi quickly explained to Jingtian.
"Is this possible?" Jingtian was surprised.
"Yes, both sides will exchange their identity cards when going into battle, so there will be basically no mistakes." Wu Zhi said.
