Climb down dozens of steps and arrive underground.
"Team Zhou!"
"Sister Zhou."
"Commander Zhang, everyone."
In the underground tunnel, a group of people was waiting.
Zhou Bing said hello to the other party and introduced Tang Wen and Tang Tang.
"I heard! Brother Tang can kill an awakened person at a young age. He has a bright future!"
"It was a fluke. It was all thanks to Sister Bing and several captains, who wore him out."
Kill the Awakened One, defeat six people in a row, and defeat the Black Mountain Camp!
Tang Wen's deeds have spread among the guards.
Everyone now knows that he is this year's recruit. It is said that during the selection, the three commanders argued over him, and in the end Commander Zhao pulled him into the first team.
Commander Zhang was followed by a group of red-armored soldiers. They looked at Tang Wen with curiosity in their eyes, but more of they were dissatisfied.
A boy from an outer city outshone the best among the best in their group!
Of course they were not convinced.
Noticing the unruly look in their eyes, Tang Wen smiled and followed Zhou Bing into the depths of the tunnel.
The tunnel is wide and three to four meters high. There is a faint air flow inside, but it is not stuffy.
Tang Wen was a little curious.
Zhou Bing shook his head and said, "I only know of a few air outlets disguised as wells."
However, when I stretched out my hand, there was a breeze passing through my fingertips.
This ventilation effect may not be achieved by just a few air outlets.
After turning a corner, Tang Wen asked again: "Why were those people wearing red armor just now? It seems that red armor has never been seen in the guard camp."
"They are guards, not guards."
Tang Wen nodded thoughtfully.
Zhou Bing walked in front with a long spear and a kerosene lamp. When he turned the fourth corner, the space in front of him suddenly became clear.
An underground square is very bright.
Even Tang Tang, who has no night vision, can see the wall a hundred meters away at a glance.
"This?" Tang Tang opened his eyes wide and looked at it without blinking.
The square is circular.
On the surrounding walls, a ring-shaped fireplace was taken out, with transparent glass installed on the outside.
In the fireplace, many chimneys extend upward.
It avoids thick smoke and does not consume the underground air due to combustion.
Building a fireplace is nothing, but having such high-temperature-resistant glass?
Also, it would be difficult to send air down from above, right?
Tang Wen was slightly surprised. The level of civilization in this world is really a bit of a mystery.
“What a clever design.”
Zhou Bing showed a rare smile: "I was also shocked when I saw it for the first time."
Tang Tang was shocked: "How many kilograms of corn can be exchanged for the coal burned this day?"
The other two were silent for a while.
Zhou Bingcai said: "We have a coal mine in our camp. Besides, it's not like this every day."
A person who looked like a maid came over: "It's Team Zhou, Tang Wen, and Tang Tang, right? Come this way."
She led the three of them to another exit of the square. When she turned a corner, a row of underground stone houses appeared in front of everyone.
"Door No. 001, there are two rooms inside." The maid handed over two keys.
He also introduced to the three of them where to eat, where to take a shower, where the toilets were, etc.
It wasn't until the three of them had no problems that they turned around and left.
Gate 001 is close to the square.
Opening the door and entering, the room is very simple, with a wall in the middle and a bed on one side.
Fortunately, the bed is big enough so sleeping two people won't be a problem.
Just when Tang Wen was hesitating whether to put the baggage directly on the ground.
There was a knock on the door.
It was the maid from earlier who brought two red-armored guards and brought in two wooden cabinets, three chairs, and a table.
When you're settled in, pack your clothes and make your bed.
Tang Tang reluctantly hid the family's money in the house.
The three of them went out and came to the canteen.
There were many people sitting in front of dozens of square tables.
Most of them are guards wearing red armor.
"Tang Wen! This way" the big man Zhang Lin waved his hand familiarly.
Tangwen?
All the diners turned their heads.
Two women and one man.
Everyone knows Zhou Bing, she is even more beautiful.
Well, this handsome young man is Tang Wen?
So young?
Was it him who killed an awakened person head-on?
There was inevitably some doubt in everyone's eyes.
"I knew you and Captain Zhou had to come too! Hello, um, are you the girl who buys the meat buns?"
The three of them sat at the empty table next to Zhang Lin, who chatted naturally.
"I am Tang Wen's sister, Tang Tang."
The maid brought over several bowls of food.
Looking at the dish basin the size of a washbasin.
Tang Tang was surprised and pleased: There is plenty of money to take care of here! That can save a lot of food!
Potato stew, radish ribs, a basin full of corn rice, and three clean wooden bowls.
Tang Wen looked at the huge portions on each table and asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Is there a breeding farm in the inner city?"
"Yes, in the mountain valleys farther outside the city than the corn fields. All the cut weeds and corn bran are used to raise pigs and sheep. However, these pigs and sheep are usually only supplied to the guard camp. , hunting camp, and here.”
It was An Lei who answered.
Tang Wen smiled at her.
Zhang Lin was very surprised. After many years of knowing her, this was the first time he heard An Lei say so many words in one breath.
"Eat the ribs." Zhou Bing looked at her, picked up a piece of ribs, and put it on Tang Wen's plate.
"okay."
After a meal, the few people got to know each other quite well.
After dinner, we walked back to the stone house together.
There was no one in the corridor. Zhang Lin whispered: "Brother Tang, please be careful. Those guards know that you killed the awakened ones. They are very unconvinced. I want to find a chance to compete with you."
"Oh? Really?" Tang Wen's eyes flashed: Are free sparring coming again?
While Zhang Lin was chattering, he learned a lot of information.
For example, the person who guided their training in the underground square was a general named Xia.
He is very old in terms of seniority and age. It is said that he is the predecessor of General Zhou.
The people who come underground in the hunting camp are all potentials in the camp. Someone who is favored by the commanders and can at least become a warrior, or even a martial artist.
Tang Wen also found out something about the origin of the imperial guards.
It is said that he is a guard child trained by General Xia since childhood.
The guard's success rate is higher than that of the hunting camp. They usually train in secret and are responsible for guarding the queen, the general's palace and some places that ordinary people cannot enter.
Guard, the name is really correct.
The red armor on their bodies was made of a rare metal.
It is lighter in weight and higher in strength. The only disadvantage is that the color is too flamboyant and the output is too small, so it can only be used by the guards.
In the afternoon, Tang Wen and Zhou Bing were catching up on their sleep in the bedroom.
Tang Tang came to the square and learned martial arts from a middle-aged female teacher with several 13- and 4-year-old boys and girls.
These boys and girls are the children and relatives of the commanders.
The commanders are working hard outside, and the camp must always take good care of their families.
Tang Tang was new to martial arts, but her teacher discovered that her physique was the best among the group.
Both strength and flexibility are good, and he is a natural talent for learning martial arts.
Knowing that she was Tang Wen's sister, the female teacher couldn't help but show an expression of "I see."
My brother is a genius. It makes perfect sense that my sister is also suitable for learning martial arts.
"Well!"
In the room, Tang Wen stretched and sat up.
At this time, Zhou Bing came back from outside and handed Tang Wen a piece of paper: "Take a look."
He took it, and there were a few lines of nouns written on it: "Tiger Claw Kung Fu, Forest Kick Technique, Shadowless Divine Fist..."
After reading the first line, Tang Wen looked up in surprise: "Is this a list of exercises?"
"Well, you can choose any six types of rewards for our competition, but it's best not to choose so many."
"I understand, you can't bite off more than you can chew." Tang Wen lowered his head and continued to look.
