attack city

The next day after arranging basic affairs, Xiang Yang inspected the factory's adjustment progress.

Although this adjustment is not difficult, it does take time, especially the construction of the food factory in the corner of the farm. Xiang Yang was quite satisfied after seeing the drawings, because he already had experience before, and now he is just expanding.

After the inspection, Xiang Yang left the farm and went to the viewing room on the left front wall on the tenth floor to get some air and see the situation outside.

This is not the kind of observation room used by lookouts, but the city's own.

It is a long space with a floor-to-ceiling glass outer wall on one long side. You can see the outside world directly instead of through the view frame, and there will be no distortion that is unique to system videos.

This is different from when in the control room, everything is seen through the view frame. The view frame is the picture that has been converted by the system video.

Generally speaking, there are many such rooms in cities. They can be found around the city, including at the back, but there are more at the front.

Shenlong City now has twelve floors, with five floors added from the town level to the county level. There are five viewing rooms on the front, and the two on the left and right of the tenth floor are the highest.

These viewing rooms have integrated seats against the wall and tables fixed on the ground. When the defensive armor is put down, the outer glass wall will be covered.

It will not be exposed due to defensive form or combat form.

Because this is not a combat facility, it can only be regarded as a viewing room for internal entertainment, and can only be used effectively when the city is safe.

Except when the city has just been planted and there are only the city lord or a few citizens and lack of personnel, usually the city lord will not leave the city, no matter what happens outside.

The top of the city, the observation deck, and the internal viewing room are probably the few places where you can truly see the outside world with your eyes.

The door was open, but before he entered, Xiang Yang saw a pretty figure standing there upright, looking intently at the ruins of River Valley City in front of him.

"The death of the city lord is indeed a disaster for the people in a city." Xiang Yang stood next to Bai Qianxue and said.

"Well, City Lord, you are here too."

Bai Qianxue, such an alert person, actually noticed Xiang Yang's approach now. She paused, sighed suddenly, and then continued: "This is probably the basic rule of the wasteland."

"If Shenlong City cannot enter the third stage, I will probably reach this point one day." Xiang Yang said.

Bai Qianxue was obviously stunned for a moment, "You are still young, Shenlong City is already at the county level."

But obviously, she also knows very well that some things are difficult to predict. It does not mean that if you level up quickly now, you will be faster in the future. This is not ordinary learning, nor is it the kind of talent for practicing martial arts.

"You don't seem to have planted your own city, right?" Xiang Yang asked.

Probably any city lord would be a little touched psychologically or feel a sense of crisis when he sees something like this happening to River Valley City.

People who don’t have their own city probably can’t understand this.

Xiang Yang was not sure whether Bai Qianxue destroyed her city or whether she had not planted the city, but from the few words she had revealed, his basic judgment was that she had not planted the city.

This is a bit strange. After all, she is so strong, not only in strength, but also in the ability to survive in the wasteland. It feels a bit unbelievable to give up planting a city.

Or maybe it was because her father's city was too powerful and relatively comfortable, and maybe she didn't want to leave her parents, so she gave up.

After all, it was a third-stage city, and her status was not low.

"No." After being stunned again, Bai Qianxue said with a hint of melancholy.

"Sometimes, it's good to be a city citizen. It's really hard to predict the results of planting a city. We have no choice. If we don't plant, what we are waiting for is the destruction of the planet and the fate of no bones left."

Xiang Yang was more interested in comforting the young warrior beside him. He could tell that she was in a bad mood.

"Maybe, but I have dreamed of planting a city since I was a child. I have been preparing for this for a long time, but the result..." Bai Qianxue shook her head, not knowing why she had to talk so much.

"It can't be because your father's city happened to be attacked..."

Xiang Yang thought it was Bai Qianxue's birthday when she could plant a city, and her father's city happened to be attacked, so she gave up and had to protect her parents first.

He didn't finish because he didn't think it was necessary to finish.

Obviously Bai Qianxue could hear what he meant.

"No, it was my father who deprived me of the opportunity to plant my own city." Bai Qianxue said.

"I didn't mean it."

Xiang Yang was very surprised and didn't know what to say. It was obvious that this incident made Bai Qianxue very sad, and it was also obvious that he had caused Bai Qianxue's scar.

"It's okay, City Lord. One thing you said is right. It's really hard to predict the results of planting a city. At least I'm still alive now."

Bai Qianxue suddenly lowered her head, squatted slightly and made a lady's greeting similar to that in ancient times, "I have something else to do, so I'll go out first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Okay, actually it's still a little uncomfortable, but what's this lady etiquette, and has she learned this before? Xiang Yang also turned around and looked at his only warrior captain leaving, with a complicated look on his face.

The lady's gift just now really shocked him, but it was something he had only seen in movies and TV shows.

………………

After the construction of the food factory was completed, Anping City returned to the trading site again. Shahe City returned a week ago, so Xiang Yang decided to rest for a few more days and continue to go to the Xishan Mine to mine.

First of all, of course, we need to go to the temporary trading ground to rest for a day and then go to the mine.

As soon as he came within radio contact distance, Xiang Yang discovered a transaction message posted by Gu Jiacheng.

When Gu Jiacheng left last time, Xiang Yang also told Gu Mingcheng that in the next period of time, apart from the Mohe Trading Ground, the place Shenlongcheng would frequent would be the Xishan Mine.

If you want to get goods, there is a high probability that you will meet him when you come to Xishan Mine.

You can also mine while you are here.

In the Xishan Mine, the quality of the common mines is much better than the ore on the outside of the Iron Sand Continent, but the medium quality mines cannot compare with the ore inside the Iron Sand Continent.

High-quality mines far exceed the iron sand found anywhere in the Iron Sand Continent.

In terms of safety, the Xishan Mine is a little more dangerous than the outside of the Iron Sand Continent, but it is much safer than the inside of the Iron Sand Continent.

Therefore, this is also the Crocodile Valley trading market city, where mining is most common.

But there is little competition on the Iron Sand Continent.

Less competition means less conflicts between cities, which sometimes also represents a kind of security.

In addition to the short distance, it only takes two or three days to get there.

Therefore, New Humanity cities like to go there the most, especially cities that have not entered the second stage.

There are very few new human cities below the town level in Xishan Mine, but it is only more than half a month away from the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground, which is much closer than the Mohe Trading Ground.

Just go north along the mountain range behind the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground, and the safety on the road is also very high.

If you are used to traveling through uninhabited desert areas for a long time, it will be much more efficient to come here. After all, this is a professional mine and there are a lot of copper mines. There is not much copper in the Iron Sand Continent.

Therefore, it is simpler and easier to come here and wait for Xiang Yang.

After entering the trading venue, Xiang Yang took the initiative to contact Gu Jiacheng.

"You have also upgraded." When he saw Gu Jiacheng, he was also surprised.

Gujiacheng has entered the town level. It seems that the last time they went to Mohe to buy crystals, they took the risk because they estimated that they were about to upgrade.

"Thanks to you, Brother Xiang, I have sold all those goods. I haven't gone to Conch Port yet. No, I plan to get some more and continue to make money at Conch Port." Gu Mingcheng was very happy.

road.

Although I got the crystal, I'm still a little far from being able to upgrade.

Gu Mingcheng is different from others when selling weapons. He only gives priority to energy blocks. If not, other resources are no problem.

Because he knows that the new human city has limited resources, among which energy blocks are the most lacking.

After all, if you want to directly obtain energy blocks, the most common method, which is also the method that most cities have to use, is to hunt energy monsters.

Among the new human cities, there are only a handful of cities that truly dare to hunt energy monsters head-on. Everyone knows that this is dangerous, and they may die.

Therefore, most of the energy blocks in the new human city are obtained in exchange for other resources.

Also with this strategy, weapons are much easier to sell than usual.

As a result, Gujiacheng directly received a large amount of various resources. When 70% of the weapons were sold, the city was upgraded.

Now, with the exception of Shenlong City, Gujiacheng is already the first city among the new human cities in Crocodile Valley to enter the town level.

After selling the weapons and finishing the basic rest and preparation, they arrived at the Xishan Mine, mining while waiting for Xiang Yang.

Having already entered the town level, Gu Mingcheng also felt that it was time to go to places like Xishan Mine to hang out.

"It just so happens that I'm busy with mining now and don't have time to sell weapons. I'll give the inventory here to you first." Xiang Yang once again gave Gujiacheng more than 2,000 energy blocks, but this time there were more bullets.

Because the new human cities are not stupid. As long as they have owned rifles for a while, they will know that a few rifles are enough, as long as they usually buy some bullets.

They directly packed the boxes for transportation. This was a basic strategy. They had built a lot of wooden boxes before, and outsiders would not know what they were trading when they saw it.

The transaction was completed and Xiang Yang continued to rest.

Gu Jiacheng went into the mine to mine and planned to leave in a few days.

Because their things had almost been sold, and the message did not specify what they were trading, few people would come to inquire specifically. He left it specially for Xiang Yang to see.

After all, it's far away here, so they plan to get more copper resources before returning.

………………

Late that night.

In the control room of Shenlong City, Bai Qianxue is on duty.

When not operating urban combat weapons or driving in the city, most people sit down, which makes them more relaxed and less likely to fatigue.

Bai Qianxue folded her arms, sat on the chair, leaned back on the chair, and stared at the radar screen.

at some point.

"Weird, where did so many cities suddenly disappear?"

A total of three cities disappeared from the same position on the radar screen in just forty seconds.

"Encountering a super powerful ordinary behemoth, three cities were instantly killed in a row? This is unlikely, even if it is killed, it will not be at the same position."

That location is still within the coverage area of ​​the trading center and is only a few dozen kilometers away from here.

Some cities will also stay in the peripheral areas of the trading fields, because they are further away from the mines. The energy behemoths in the mines, especially those underground, will not suddenly launch raids in the middle of the night, and the security is even slightly higher than here.

, I just have to come here to get water.

Therefore, it can be judged that the disappeared cities all spent the night nearby.

Radar has accuracy. The larger the city, the higher the accuracy. With the radar capabilities of county-level cities, the so-called same location is at least measured in kilometers.

The radar accuracy of Shenlong City is better, but it will not exceed two kilometers.

On the radar screen, there are several other city light spots that are also moving in that direction.

Bai Qianxue pondered for a moment, stood up, and swiped his hands on the radar screen. The screen began to zoom in, which meant improving accuracy, which would reduce the area covered by the radar.

The county-level radar has a radius of 300 kilometers. When zoomed in to maximum accuracy, it can only cover 50 kilometers. Anything beyond that cannot be seen. It’s not that it can’t be searched, but that the large screen cannot accommodate it.

Normally, this is a very dangerous thing. Almost no city would do this and would rather reduce the accuracy.

But now she was in the trading pit, and Bai Qianxue didn't intend to stay in this state for too long.

Bai Qianxue continued to stare at the radar screen, but saw another city's light spot disappearing there. The specific location was near the southwest mountains about thirty kilometers away from the Xishan Mine.

There are four other cities rushing there.

"A new entrance to the underground world has been discovered, or a ruin has appeared." Bai Qianxue made her own judgment.

Most of them are ruins, so those cities that discovered them rushed to get there.

There are always some treasures in the ruins. Although the probability of encountering danger is greater if you enter earlier, the probability of finding the treasure in advance is also greater. In the worst case, you may not be able to exit first.

It’s not because of bad luck. Successful evacuation is not a problem.

Bai Qianxue checked the time. It was a quarter to two in the morning, which was very late.

After only thinking for a second, Bai Qianxue connected to Xiang Yang through the internal communication channel, but there was no sound and she was obviously still asleep.

I contacted him again and it was still the same.

The internal communication channel can only transmit sound or video when connected to China Unicom.

Whether to answer or not, there is only a system prompt sound, a very soft electronic female voice, not the harsh sound of a mobile phone, and it will not ring continuously, let alone play a song for a long time.

Obviously it is difficult to wake up a sleeping person.

If there is no way to respond, there is no way to communicate.

Bai Qianxue had no intention of sounding the alarm. She still needed to discuss whether to go to the ruins immediately. There was no need to wake up everyone in the city at this time.

"Qian Youliang, please come into the control room. You are in charge of the radar for the time being." Bai Qianxue ordered the people in the lookout observation room to come over and take her place. "Yu Bin, pay more attention."

Because there are two people on duty in the frontal lookout observation room, Qian Youliang and Yu Bin, each controls a telescope and cross-viewpoints, so it will be fine if one is missing for the time being.

There is a double vigil in Shenlong City at night. In addition to the lookout's observation room, there are people on each observation deck.

But the lightning screen must be watched by someone.
