When the tires made a "pop" sound and then the whole car stabilized, Yang Pingtie knew that he was probably at the right place.

Ruins of the city of Sap.

Strictly speaking, the area of ​​Sap City is larger than that of a regular asylum city. Sanctuary cities usually only have two to five super buildings, plus slums with moss-like ground. Occasionally there is a little bit of road planning, but not much.

This kind of city itself is not livable enough, not to mention that today's prosthetic people rely on solar energy to live, and there is a rigid demand for sunshine area per capita.

Therefore, the size of a city is often limited, ranging from one to two hundred square kilometers at most. The difference often lies in how far the protectors build their super buildings.

Sap City is a typical old-era city with clear urban planning and construction. Although it lacks thousands of meters of super buildings, on average it is far more than the current shelter city. Its footprint is also a bit wider.

But now, the Six Dragons Sect and his party drove onto the remains of the original intercity highway in Sap City.

Yang Pingtie connected his vision to the car camera, looked at it, and found that he had not strayed from the city.

Vegetation exists around the city of Tharp, and may be one of the few that was not created by the Sanctuary.

It is said that there are still a small number of small creatures in the tropics that completed the transformation during the Biosphere One Extinction Event. The hot outside temperatures gave them the slightest chance. But they soon ran into new problems. The viruses created by those cultists are randomly infected, and the mutations they produce are also very random. This causes a group of one species to often turn into several species with weak reproductive isolation on the spot. Organisms that cannot complete asexual reproduction or self-sexual reproduction have become extinct.

In addition, there were originally dozens of laboratories affiliated with Superman Enterprises in Sapp City, which were used to study benchmark species, especially cash crops among agricultural crops. There are also some parks here. It is said that in 2060, there are still people who are worried that standardized crops will invade the earth's biosphere and burn down the Superman Enterprise campus.

But the facts prove that this is indeed unfounded.

Even if the original biosphere of the earth is destroyed and all of them die to make room for those who come after them, these plants from the laboratory have not been able to successfully expand.

Until now, those wild cash crops can only thrive and perish within this city.

The roads are full of cracks. Clumps of purple or black plants line both sides of the road, forming sparse vegetation. Green ones are rarely seen.

When Yang Pingtie was listening to religious lectures about faith, he heard the above mentioned, saying that a long time ago, chlorophyll was not the mainstream among the earth's native organisms. At that time, most of the creatures that drew energy from sunlight were ++++ purple. The extinction event changed the mainstream of producers. Photosynthesis represented by green became the absolute mainstream of this planet.

That was more than two billion years ago.

When seeing these plants, Yang Pingtie felt an absurd sense of fate. The biosphere built on the basis of green plants is the human world. And humans themselves successfully destroyed it, and then the mainstream of photosynthesis... Although it didn't change back, the color became closer to the past?

These plants don't mean much to current baseline humans - they're either the product of random mutations or the result of cash crops going wild. Standard baseline humans are basically unable to digest these species, and they may even be poisonous to baseline humans.

In addition, growing plants also requires water and sunlight. While asylum seekers rarely consider "water sources" when building a city, civilians need to keep the sunshine to themselves.

The long dry season also limits the expansion of these plants. Two hundred years later, these plants have not even covered the entire city.

The guardian Kasepon who was driving was very excited: "Boss, this road is really easy to drive."

"First time here?"

"This is really the first time for a place like ruins." Kasepong was very excited. "I have never seen such lush plants."

Casapong’s is still under observation. He didn't even know that the organization he joined was called the "Six Dragons Sect". In his eyes, he was the subordinate of the flag master. This is also a kind of social recruitment process of Liulong Sect.

The other is for warriors who have become famous. You can go directly to the headquarters and slowly cultivate your faith.

Kaserpon is currently positioned as "cannon fodder".

"Cannon fodder" is still very excited now. He said: "Boss, before we do anything, would you like to visit the famous black market here?"

"Yeah, it's up to you." Yang Pingtie didn't pay too much attention. This trip was originally a dispensable task, and the flag owner asked him to bring two more subordinates who were in the inspection period to inspect them.

Many times, "having an assistant" means "having more tactics to choose from." Even if there is a big gap in martial arts between the assistant and the master, the assistant can be kept away from him during tough battles.

Many chivalrous people operate in this way of bringing the old into the new. Using this kind of group image to operate on the fringes of the chivalrous group will not easily arouse suspicion. After all, there are countless knights who can't get ahead and who have been relegated to the second line due to injuries.

The Six Dragons Sect has been conducting small-scale activities in this area.

Kasepong also knew that he was here to kill a few poor and unimportant guys. He didn't feel any nervousness at all, and he even had the intention to look around.

Yang Pingtie quickly noticed something. The vehicle entered a new route. This should have entered the urban area of ​​​​Old Sap City. There used to be an extremely complex three-dimensional transportation system here, which was almost a maze. Nowadays, most of the viaducts have broken due to disrepair, leaving only a large number of columns and a few intermittent bridge decks, projecting complex maze-like shadows on the ground.

The yellow-brown mycelium clings to the lower half of the bridge pier and dries up repeatedly, forming a crack-like pattern.

When driving into the shadow area, Yang Pingtie stood up, then quietly opened the exit on the roof of the car, leaned out half of his body, and stretched like a natural person.

For the Baseline Man, this is a sure sign that he has not yet escaped his natural instincts. Movements such as "stretching" to stretch your muscles and bones are meaningless for a mechanical body.

Yang Pingtie even touched the back of his head.

From the raised elbow, a small missile shot out.

The sneak attacker who jumped down in mid-air fell into despair in shock.

He had just jumped down in mid-air. He had nowhere to use his strength. He had no equipment such as thrusters, and he did not even have a heavy weapon that could be thrown out to change his body shape in an emergency. The only thing he had was heat. The weapon was also slung on his back, and he couldn't pull it out in a hurry.

When Yang Pingtie returned to the car, the attacker happened to explode in the air.

"Amazing." The guardians marveled, "Boss, that's amazing. The car camera spotted the ambusher? That accuracy..."

"Absolutely. Didn't I go out and take a look again?" Yang Pingtie's tone remained unchanged.

Just now, through the on-board camera, he observed three to four ambushers on the bridge pier pillars ahead. And the ambushers didn't pull out thermal weapons. Therefore, Yang Pingtiecai deliberately exposed his head and showed a weakness.

After killing a sneak attacker, Yang Pingtie observed through the camera that the other ambushers retreated quietly.

Kasepong felt a little regretful: "Why did you stop? I heard that Lu Lin was very desperate."

"That's not Green Forest. There shouldn't be any large Green Forest teams around here."

"Why not?" one person retorted, "My whole family was killed."

But there was no sadness in his tone.

"Maybe more than ten years ago." Yang Pingtie held his weapon and retreated into the corner comfortably. "A lot has happened in the past ten years. First, we were swept away by guys suspected of being war gods, and then we came again. There was a wave, and then the African military leader felt that morale was available, so the chivalrous force here was relatively strong."

These guardians did not know that they served the Six Dragons Sect, but they knew that the "Flag Master" was tracking matters related to the Martial God. They are naturally excited about the topic.

"The guy who looks like a god of war" is a "rumor" thing around here. But this is not unfounded. According to what Yang Pingtie knew, a radical activity of the Six Dragons Sect more than ten years ago created several "personality masks similar to martial gods", and these "quasi-martial gods" also had abilities worthy of their parent. As expected, they got out of control. Records of apparitions were left in various places.

The nearby Six Dragon Sect group also began to expand its ranks during this period. Here they control the direction of rumors, while searching for hidden "quasi-martial gods" or looking for their relics.

But that was also many years ago.

Yang Pingtie even felt that the banner leader planned to gradually remove some peripheral personnel, or send newly developed members to the Mars headquarters to receive education in their faith.

Yang Pingtie only felt lucky about this. He is already a formal member and will not be given up easily by the church.

After crossing the outermost edge of the city, the Six Dragons Cult group entered a jungle composed of broken walls.

There are still some buildings from the old era standing here. It is said that at the end of the 21st century, mankind's requirement for concrete in buildings is "safe support without maintenance for two hundred years." It’s not that building materials that can last longer are impossible to produce, but that city builders have concluded that, except for a very few commemorative landmark buildings, there is no need for more permanent building materials. Most buildings in the city will be demolished and rebuilt as they grow, and there is no need for buildings to last two hundred years.

Now, most buildings are still barely within the "safety period."

The vehicle drove straight in. Since Yang Pingtie showed his presence on the outskirts of the city, there were no new eyeless characters to cause trouble along the way.

The three members of the Six Dragon Sect soon arrived at their first destination, Monument Square on the west side of the city.
