After the huge steel convoy passed through the city gate, the scene that appeared in front of them was not a wide street, but an open field covered with grass.
The place was deserted, not even a ghost could be seen, giving it a desolate and run-down feel.
It's not even as good as the long street they were on before, at least it's not as monotonous, desolate, and makes people feel hopeless.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, which is how they feel at this time.
The joy of capturing the city gate also seemed to be poured with cold water at this moment, slowly cooling down.
"What the hell, this is the legendary high-end neighborhood, why doesn't it look like it?"
The dwarf widened his eyes in confusion, looked around, and said in a depressed tone.
"There is something really wrong. Could it be that the rumors are wrong and they are deliberately deceiving us poor people?"
Another desperate person said that this was a desperate person who had just followed Tang Zhen. Because he was very brave during the battle, he was personally guarded by Tang Zhenxiong.
Although Xiao Wu and others did not speak, there was a trace of disappointment on their faces, which could be seen with their eyes.
They had imagined countless times what they would see when they went to a high-end neighborhood, but they never expected that it would be the scene in front of them?
Is it possible that the legendary high-end neighborhood is just a big lie to deceive the desperate, and the real situation is actually extremely cruel?
It is not impossible that desperate people who are driven crazy can imagine high-end neighborhoods and then tell others about them.
Because the existence of high-end neighborhoods conforms to the fantasies of other desperate people, is this why the rumors spread more and more widely among the desperate people?
If that's the case, what's the point of all their efforts?
It is indeed a city of despair. It always makes you realize what real despair is inadvertently.
Just when everyone was talking and becoming discouraged, Tang Zhen frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong with the situation in front of him.
In this huge field, he felt the mysterious power again, which seemed to be on the ground and surrounding it.
Tang Zhen closed his eyes gently and poured the mysterious power in his mind into his eye sockets. Then Tang Zhen concentrated his attention and looked at the square in front of him again.
The scene that appeared in front of him again, where there was still an empty square, was clearly a stinking swamp with rising black air.
Looking at the appearance of the swamp, if you lose your footing and fall, there is no possibility of escaping, and you will probably be swallowed up by the mud in the blink of an eye.
In the pulpy mud, black bubbles kept rolling out, and from time to time, a pair of skeletons poked their heads out.
They disappear and appear, like fish, constantly wandering up and down in the mud.
More skeletons were just lying on the roadside, staring at the desperate people with greedy eyes, as if waiting for them to move forward and enter the swamp.
There was indeed a square at the feet of Tang Zhen, but it was a narrow square. After extending forward for a certain distance, it suddenly became thin and narrow, winding its way to the front.
If you foolishly move forward without seeing the truth, you will 100% lose your footing and fall into the swamp.
When the time comes, they will either be suffocated to death by the stinking mud, or be eaten by those terrifying skeletons, or even become one of them after death.
After seeing through the illusion in front of him, Tang Zhen shook his head slightly, secretly thinking that the designer of this passage was really vicious.
Desperate people worked hard to collect evidence, but when they got here, they were deceived, fell into the swamp and lost their lives. That would really be a shame.
But is the truth of the matter really what I guessed?
Tang Zhen felt that things were not that simple. If he really wanted to deceive the desperate, there was actually no need to engage in such a big battle.
So there must be something you don't understand here, so don't jump to conclusions.
Just as he was thinking about it secretly, his desperate men brought in several more prisoners. They were all guards who came out of the corner after entering the city gate.
Perhaps seeing the ferocity of the desperate, when these prisoners were pressed over, their faces were all pale and their bodies were trembling.
Tang Zhen glanced at the prisoners and gently waved his hand, signaling for them to stand up from the ground.
The prisoners were a little confused about the situation, but they still stood up obediently and stood together with their hands tied, not daring to raise their heads and look directly at Tang Zhen.
"I can give you a chance to pass by. As long as whoever can pass by, I will spare his life. Do you dare to bet?"
Hearing Tang Zhen's words, several prisoners shook their heads desperately. Apparently they also knew how dangerous the square ahead was.
"Why don't you dare? Is there something to say about this square?"
Tang Zhen asked knowingly and wanted to see if these prisoners would tell the truth.
"To be honest with you, we only know that after passing this square, we can reach the high-end neighborhood ahead.
But if you want to pass smoothly, you must pay hundreds of vouchers and get a special item at the same time.
It is said that only by wearing it can one be able to see clearly and avoid the death trap in this square.
It is said that the purpose of this is to prevent some stowaways without credentials from quietly crossing the city gate and sneaking into high-end neighborhoods.
And it turns out that doing so is indeed very effective.
During my decades as a guard, I have seen at least hundreds of stowaways crossing the city wall. However, when passing through the square, they all fell into death traps and ended up with no bones left! "
An older prisoner explained to Tang Zhen, and his statement was basically consistent with what Tang Zhen observed.
If things are true as he said, then it means that high-end neighborhoods really exist, and there is no problem with the passage ahead.
So if they pass through the city gate through normal means, then they will definitely get the so-called special items to see through the illusion in front of them.
After figuring out all this, Tang Zhen lost interest and stopped studying the square.
In fact, it is just the most basic defense method. To put it bluntly, there is nothing unusual about it, but the effect is surprisingly good.
What interests him the most is these guards. Judging by their looks, they are obviously ordinary desperate people, but they have become the guards here for some reason?
When Tang Zhen asked this question, the prisoners did not dare to hide it and quickly answered truthfully: "Actually, we are desperate people, but we come from high-end neighborhoods. We were sent here to serve because we owed too much money.
We must serve here for a hundred years before we have the opportunity to leave here and return to the high-end neighborhood.
If you die while serving, you have only yourself to blame for your bad luck.
Even if he is lucky enough to survive to the end of his term of service, he may not survive long if he returns to a high-end neighborhood empty-handed. "
After hearing the explanations of the prisoners, Tang Zhen frowned and said, "As you said, this high-end neighborhood may not be as beautiful as imagined?"
The old prisoner laughed miserably and said with emotion: "In fact, I have been a guard here for decades, but I actually like it here more.
Although it is extremely lonely and desolate here, at least there is a supply of military rations, so you don't have to worry about going hungry.
There is also no need to worry about being hunted down by night watchers like the desperate people in low-class neighborhoods, and their lives are in danger all day long.
The most important point is that you don't have to endure the life of a high-end neighborhood where everything depends on money. Living this life in an ordinary way is actually the greatest blessing. "
The old prisoner's words revealed a thorough understanding of the vicissitudes of the world. It was obvious that he had also suffered a lot in his past life.
Tang Zhen was not in the mood to pay attention to the other party's emotion, but asked: "What steps are needed to become a defender here?"
Hearing Tang Zhen's question, the old prisoner thought for a moment, and then replied: "You only need to pick up the military badge on the corpse, or go to the warehouse and find a military badge. After taking it with you, you will become the guard of the city gate by default." .”
Tang Zhen nodded. If it was really that simple, it would be a good way to arrange the desperate people under him.
