Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 296: Starry City
Nightingale District, West City No. 6 District.
The code area is divided according to the size of the outer wall, with 3,000 yards of the outer wall as one area, and there are 33 code areas in total.
Like the three outer walls in the northeast and south, each code area has two guards stationed there symbolically. However, in area No. 6, in addition to the guards, there are many military vehicles, armored vehicles and transport vehicles.
Earthen camps are clustered under the wall, with people moving between the world of ruins and reality.
It was like a hundred-meter-deep ditch kicked out by a god, extending from the distance to the foot of the wall.
One after another, transport trucks came galloping over, stopped, and drove off many plainly dressed fog people.
The hands and feet of these fog people were locked with iron chains, and they were led to the front of a deep ditch by a rope. They walked down the compacted earth steps beside the ditch, and the iron chains were tied to the stones in the ditch.
The Fog People stayed where they were, and soon someone brought them delicious meals.
The fog people thanked them repeatedly. One old man among them asked cautiously where this place was, but was scolded. They were only told that if they stayed here for a full month, they would receive a generous salary.
The wrinkles on the old man's face were piled up together, like a pair of eyes that could not be opened.
After being scolded, he didn't ask any more questions.
As for the others, they just focused on eating and drinking, ignoring everything around them.
"Is this the number 6 area?"
In the fourth layer of the ruins, Xu Shen came here under the guidance of Han Hu and three others. The shallow layer of the ruins and the reality were just illusory scenes of different shades in his eyes. He could see two figures lurking in the third layer of the ruins, two people in two states.
In the second layer of the ruins world, there are many ruins cutters who are digging the soil of the ruins world and cutting down and clearing the ruins forests along the way.
As for reality, truckloads of fog people are transported in from time to time and settled in the ravines of reality.
Some of the fog people were even dragged into the second layer of the ruins world opened by activating the ruins-breaking device and tied to the ruins trees.
These fog people were unaware of the situation around them, they just obeyed orders and waited quietly.
They walked wherever the chain led.
Xu Shen glanced at the two Two-States hidden in the third layer of the Ruins. These two were most likely Shadow System, good at hiding. If an ordinary Two-State came over to investigate rashly, they would most likely be spied on by them.
But all the secrets cannot escape the deep world beyond the levels.
"Well, this is Area No. 6 that the Night Rat King is developing day and night. Once the channel is unblocked and the time comes, the outer wall here will be broken to attract the Shell and Ruin Beasts wandering outside. They will be attracted to the Queen Mother Area along the channel and the bait along the way to create chaos!" Han Hu said immediately.
Xu Shen asked, "With such a big commotion, is he sure that the queen ant won't notice ?"
"No."
Han Hu glanced at Xu Shen and said with his head down: "The person in charge of the safety of this area is the captain of the personal guard of the first team under the Queen Ant, but... he is already a member of the Night Rat King."
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly. There was indeed a traitor in the Royal Guard, but he didn't expect that he was the strongest one in the open.
What does the other party want?
Xu Shen had no impression of the captain of the first team and was too lazy to think about it. The number 6 area in front of him was an important piece of information he had found out, and he believed that the Queen Ant would be very interested.
"In addition to the No. 6 area, are there any other areas with such plans?" Xu Shen asked Han Hu.
Han Hu shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, I only know this."
Xu Shen nodded and was about to turn around to inspect the other 32 code areas. Suddenly, Hai Jue's voice appeared in his mind: "Someone is coming."
Xu Shen looked up and saw two figures flying over the outer wall.
One in front and one behind, they stood in the fourth level of the world, looking at the hundred-meter-long ditch in front of them.
One of them seemed to notice something and looked towards Xu Shen.
Their eyes met in the air.
Xu Shen saw the appearance of one of them, and it was the Night Rat King who came to look for him that night.
The other man looked very young, wearing white and green armor, holding a spear, and looked very majestic.
"Um?"
The moment the Night Rat King saw Xu Shen, his pupils suddenly shrank and he was a little startled.
Has his plan been discovered?
He recognized Xu Shen, the hidden king's guard beside the queen ant.
In addition to that licking dog horse, there is also a licking dog king, the damn woman!
"I need to help you." The Night Rat King whispered.
Then he took a step forward.
When Xu Shen saw the Night Rat King, he realized that the situation was not good. The other party had returned, and the timing of his return was so coincidental that he bumped into him.
withdraw!
As soon as Xu Shen's words were conveyed to Hai Jue, the Night Rat King disappeared in front of him, and then the next moment, he suddenly appeared on the retreat path where he turned around, blocking his retreat.
"Since you're here, don't be in such a hurry to leave." The Night Rat King looked at Xu Shen coldly.
Xu Shen's heart sank. The Night Rat King was thousands of meters away from him on the outer wall, but he appeared before him in an instant. It was too fast.
"If someone doesn't know you, just by listening to you talking, they would think you are the madam of a dance hall." Xu Shen did not show any fear and said with a cold face.
The Night Rat King was stunned, then he sneered.
His attention was fixed on Xu Shen, but his eyes were looking around. He asked casually, "Why, you came here alone? Where's that bitch? Did she ask you to come here alone to lead the way and investigate the situation?"
The basic principle of confrontation is not to be constrained by the other party's words. In simple terms, do not answer all the questions asked, otherwise you will inevitably lose momentum. After controlling the Black Light Sect, Xu Shen became a superior and was well aware of this. In addition, he was too lazy to answer the Night Rat King's words, so he asked back: "The guy over there, is that the foreign aid you went to find overnight?"
At this moment, the young man in white and green armor on the outer wall had stepped over, appeared behind Xu Shen, and blocked the other side as well.
"Why, are you scared?"
The Night Rat King said with a fake smile: "I spared you last time, but you won't have the chance to run away today. Since you have been seen, I can only ask you to stay here."
"You're not an unmarried woman, why are you going to cling to me after just one look?"
Although he was surrounded by two kings, Xu Shen's expression remained calm. He said, "How do you know that I didn't come here to negotiate with you today?"
"negotiation?"
The Night Rat King was stunned and couldn't help laughing. He said, "That bitch compromised? Don't be ridiculous. I know her too well. She wants to pretend to negotiate to paralyze me? But I am not as naive as I was before."
It seems like you've suffered at the hands of a woman... Xu Shen complained in his heart, but said : "Who said I'm here to negotiate on her behalf? Can't I come here to negotiate on my own?"
The Night Rat King looked at Xu Shen with a little surprise, and said with interest: "Then let's talk about it. After all, you are a king. If you have a little backbone, you will not choose to be inferior to others. After all, that bitch is not those adults in the inner city..."
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "If you want to talk, it depends on your sincerity. If the conditions are suitable, I will help you to trap the ant queen at a critical moment. It depends on whether you can afford it."
"Is the Queen Ant already so unpopular?" The young man in the aqua-green armor chuckled and sighed when he heard Xu Shen's words, as if he felt sorry for the Queen Ant's isolated and helpless situation.
Xu Shen turned slightly and glanced at him: "Are you from the inner city?"
"Don't you know me?"
The young man in the aqua-green armor laughed and said, "Are you a newly promoted king? That's right, I haven't seen you before, and you're not from the inner city, so you must have just been promoted."
"How do you know I'm not from the inner city?" Xu Shen didn't care about the other party's guess.
The young man in aqua-green armor laughed and said, "Who in the inner city would be inferior to others?"
Hmm...Xu Shen was speechless, it seemed to be true.
"You are not from the inner city, so you must be from one of the other lower cities. Are you the city lord or the second in command?" Xu Shen also had some guesses about the identity of the young king in front of him.
"Since you have seen my appearance, it is only a matter of time before you find out my identity. It's okay to tell you, but my royal title is... Star Lord." The young man in the aqua-green armor said softly.
Star God?
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. It would be easy to check if he knew the name.
But he paid less attention to other bottom cities, and the eight bottom cities were relatively closed to each other, so he still didn't know which bottom city the other party came from.
"Xingchou City, Xingjun."
Night Rat King smiled and said, "I specially asked Star Lord to come and help, plus there is a partner I invited from the inner city. It's three to one. It's a wise choice for you to discuss cooperation with me."
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. The friends invited from the inner city that the other party was referring to were Xia Tong who had just been suppressed?
It's a pity that you have lost one of your friends.
"Hearing you say that, I feel like the weight has fallen on me."
Xu Shen said to the Night Rat King: "It's either 3 vs. 2 or 4 vs. 1. Obviously the latter has a better chance of winning. If it's 3 vs. 2, it's hard to tell who will win. After all, this is Termite City, the nest of the ant queen. Although Xingjun has come to help, how many two-states can he lead?"
"Besides, there is an A-level ant next to the queen ant, and there is one next to me as well."
The black snow on Xu Shen's shoulders had long been exposed and could not be hidden. The Hai Jue hidden in his chest, the Ling Lu and the Minotaur covered in blood in his body, and Xia Tong who had merged with the Minotaur were relatively secretive, and it was unknown whether they had been detected.
"The queen's horse is nothing to be afraid of. It is at most half a king."
The Night Rat King narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Shen. "As for your Xu, you can be considered half a Xu, but it's hard to say when a fight really breaks out. Maybe you can't even be considered half a Xu. After all, the difference between A-level Xu is huge, and the difference between Kings is also huge. Some A-level Xu can't even withstand a shot from a King!"
"Really?"
Xu Shen said calmly: "Then how can you be sure that you are the top kings, and the one next to me is just an ordinary A-level Xu? Do you have a record of instantly killing an A-level Xu?"
"I was lucky enough to have it." The Star Lord next to him said with a smile.
But these words are chilling.
Xu Shen's eyes couldn't help but become slightly cold. Instantly kill A-level Xu, this guy?
The Night Rat King smiled and said, "Now you know what to choose. If you are willing to switch sides, our chances of winning will be greater. Besides, I have other preparations. But what does that bitch have? She has offended enough people in the inner city. No one will help her. After all, she is the lord of the city in public. Who in the inner city dares to interfere? And she is proud and may not beg for mercy."
So, you are willing to beg for mercy? Xu Shen glanced at the Night Rat King and said, "You know the Queen Ant quite well."
"After all, when I was the city lord, that bitch was nowhere to be found." The Night Rat King sneered.
What's there to be proud of being overtaken by the younger generation... Xu Shen shook his head secretly and said, "Do you know what the ant queen's ability is?"
"You don't know?" Night Rat King raised his eyebrows: "You haven't fought with her?"
"without."
"Then why do you choose to surrender to her?" The Night Rat King rolled his eyes. This guy is really flattering. He surrendered without a fight.
After all, I was defeated head-on (-▽-).
"This is called lying dormant." Xu Shen said, "Besides, I have just stepped into this realm, so I should keep a low profile and observe."
The Night Rat King snorted coldly and said, "I don't know the specific abilities of the ant queen, but her attacks are unpredictable and hard to defend against. She is immune to most curses and mental attacks, and her attacks ignore distance."
"You don't know either?" Xu Shen was a little surprised. He thought he could get the queen ant's abilities from the other party.
"I was lucky enough to experience it once." The Star Lord next to him spoke with a smile, "It seems to be some kind of line that we ordinary people cannot see. This line connects everyone. She attacks through this line, so her attacks ignore distance and cannot even be seen. I call this line the 'Causal Line'."
"Cause and effect?" Xu Shen was stunned.
He suddenly remembered that he had shown his Xu Si when he was competing for the personal guard in front of the Queen Ant.
At that time, he was favored by the queen ant.
"Causal line?" The Night Rat King seemed to have heard of it for the first time and narrowed his eyes to think about it.
The more he thought about it, the more the mysteries in his mind were solved, and he felt as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Can't I get involved with her?" The Night Rat King muttered to himself, frowning. He felt that the Queen Ant was tricky. When he was defeated before, he felt that this bitch didn't use her full strength, and it turned out to be true.
"It's okay. The power of the stars can cut off all cause and effect. If I'm lucky, I should be able to suppress her." The Star Lord smiled, giving the two of them reassurance.
The Night Rat King took a look at him and realized that the mayor of Xingchou City was also an extremely terrifying person. This time, he paid a huge price to invite him, and the price he offered was even higher than that of hiring a rebel army!
Then why not find an anti-internal army?
The reason is simple: I just don’t like them!
Xu Shen also felt the confidence contained in the words of this Star Lord. Although the other party kept talking about "luck", he was able to intervene from other base cities and was definitely not a simple guy.
"How about you think about it?" Night Rat King narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Shen: "I mean it sincerely."
"no problem."
Xu Shen nodded slightly, "What about the reward? What benefits will you give me after you become the city lord?"
"How about a piece of news about the legendary soldiers?" said the Night Rat King.
"oh?"
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows. To be classified as a legendary Xu soldier, the weight must be at least 16. The Xu soldier has completed the second fusion transformation and possesses unimaginable power.
