"Hey, you guys, what do you want me to say..."
Wandered on the street for more than an hour.
Xue Yun followed Zhong Limei and complained helplessly: "This majestic fortress city is too stingy. After all, I helped you repel the enemy army without even preparing a maglev vehicle. The key is that I can’t drive myself, so how long do I have to walk to get somewhere?”
"No way, it's still the same sentence..."
Zhong Lizhan was still walking in front and said without looking back: "During extraordinary times, vehicles are not allowed in the city. This is a rule and everyone must strictly abide by it. Lord Protector, please bear with it."
He drooped his eyelids and resisted the urge to activate "Multiple Arms" and fly away on the spot.
In order to find the whereabouts of Da Iwan as soon as possible, Xue Yun had to endure it silently.
After all, he is a local snake on the far northern border.
Only the official forces attached to "Dog City" can more easily find out the whereabouts of everyone.
If you know how to use your strength, it will definitely be better than running around like a headless fly.
I walked for about ten minutes.
Zhong Limei, who was leading the way, slowly stopped and stood in front of an extremely strange building in the city center.
"Here we are, right here..."
He looked back at Xue Yun.
Zhongli Mei looked calm and said, "This is the hotel where 'Inucheng' entertains distinguished guests - 'Inucheng National Guest House'."
Eyes widened.
The corner of Xue Yun's mouth couldn't help but twitch, he really couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.
It's only three or four floors, and it's nowhere near as tall as my own mansion on Taiping Street.
The overall structure is entirely made of wooden boards.
The so-called hotel in front of us has many places on the exterior wall that are already pitted and even showing signs of falling off.
Even the rows of windows look like they are made of paper, and are riddled with holes, showing how old they are.
"Haha, awesome..."
I really don’t know how to evaluate it.
Xue Yun smiled bitterly, feeling that the environment of this place was probably not as good as a cowshed in a satellite town.
"You people from Dog City call a place like this a luxury hotel?!"
I tried hard to recall.
Xue Yun is 100% sure that the city lord Zhong Lizhan just explained that he must arrange the best luxury hotel in the city for himself, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it...
"Sorry, I tried my best..."
He shrugged his shoulders.
Zhong Limei spread his hands, shook his head and said: "When the war broke out, the whole city was sealed off. Many dignitaries and businessmen who came from afar had no time to escape. All the better hotel rooms in the city were fully booked, so there is really nothing better. The choice was made.”
There was a pause.
Rubbing his temples in distress, Zhong Limei said with a bitter expression: "This is the scarce resource I finally asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to force for you. If it were a little later, someone would probably get there first... "
He pursed his lips.
The girl in front of her looked sincere and prayed: "Duke Protector, how about you, old man, make do with me for the time being?"
Damn it!
God’s damn “scarce resources”, there’s no one left...
In fact, if you think about it a little carefully, all this is actually expected.
The invasion of the Principality of Aisha came with almost no warning.
There has been no conflict between the two countries on the border for decades.
Everything happened so suddenly.
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland era, a fortress city with a population of several million was already considered a giant. The number of people coming and going from here every day was astronomical.
No one expected that the war would come so quickly. With the city gate closed and the magnetic levitation track blown up, it was already too late to leave this place of right and wrong.
"Forget it, it's not like we haven't endured hardships."
He waved his hand.
Helplessly walking into the dilapidated building, Xue Yun sighed: "No matter how bad this place is, it's still better than the shacks in the slums. We'll have to deal with it!"
He was slightly startled.
Zhongli Mei couldn't help but be a little surprised.
In her impression, a powerful and powerful person like Xue Yun would never accept such treatment under normal circumstances.
Actually.
Zhong Limei had long been mentally prepared for nothing more than being scolded by his father, and then having no choice but to arrange for Xue Yun to live in the City Lord's Mansion.
But I never expected it.
The Xue Yun in front of him was so open-minded. After thinking for a moment, he happily accepted the arrangement.
"Hey, what about you..."
He raised his eyebrows.
The young man in front of him looked back at Zhong Limei, raised his chin and urged.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and check in for me. You don't want me to pay the rent myself?!"
"Oh... just come!"
Startled suddenly.
Only then did Zhong Limei react, quickly put her mind back together, and followed him into the lobby of the guest house.
It's not so much a hall as it is a slightly spacious corridor.
Narrow aisle side.
An old counter similar to a cash register was placed very abruptly aside, leaving just enough space for two people to pass by side by side. There was no room left at all.
Suddenly, the smell of fermented old dead rats hit my face.
He couldn't help but frown.
Xue Yun took a step back unexpectedly and almost fainted from the smell.
But he saw two stinky feet lying leisurely on the counter, and the smell they gave off was enough to make him sick.
A slovenly middle-aged man was sitting in the armchair, holding an old magazine with photos of girls in swimsuits in his hands, reading it with gusto.
From beginning to end, he didn't notice the arrival of the two people at all.
"Stop looking, we have a guest!"
He raised his hand and pinched his nose.
Zhong Limei suppressed her nausea, knocked on the counter hard, and said angrily: "Has the room I booked just now reserved for me?"
Reluctantly putting down the swimsuit magazine, the slovenly middle-aged man at the counter raised his head.
He has rough eyebrows and flaring nostrils, and the gaps between his teeth are filled with yellow tartar. You could call him a beggar, and he is so unkempt that it is truly breathtaking.
"Hey, is this the room you two booked?"
He looked at Xue Yun and Zhong Limei.
The slovenly middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he raised his hand to lick his nostrils, and then said with an ambiguous expression: "If you ask me, you two are really big-hearted. There is a war going on outside day and night, you two." You're in a good position, you sneaked over to my place to get a room!"
"How do you say that..."
He pressed his forehead, and his fingers were filled with disgusting black mud.
The sloppy man thought about it for a moment, patted his thigh and said, "That's right, I'll love you even if I die!"
