You must know that the area of Ice Glass City is originally the dividing line between the ferocious beast clan and humans. It is covered with ice and snow all year round, and there is a hunting season here, which makes the folk customs here very fierce.
Therefore, this place has always been very chaotic. It is a land without laws. In addition, large and small gathering points, endless sects and knights are rampant, which has led to constant wars, poverty and barbarism here.
Therefore, before setting off, Second Young Master Shi told himself that after entering the vicinity of the City of Ice and Glass, he should try not to enter the gathering points, because these gathering points are often the dens of bandits.
According to Mr. Shi's words, although brother-in-law, you are not afraid of danger and can protect yourself, but the toad jumps on the instep. It is quite uncomfortable even if it doesn't bite. Killing too many people will also hurt your own luck, and the gain is not worth the loss.
Regarding the words of Second Young Master Shi, Zhan Jingyi deeply agreed. He was not a murderous person. Although this time he went to the City of the Abyss at the request of Queen Doris, he also had some selfish motives.
After all, I had promised Ellie before that I would go to the City of the Abyss to find a suitable body for her so that she could remove her soul from Driver Yan's body.
Before, I was still trying my best to figure out how to enter the City of Abyss. Now with the arrangement of Queen Doris, I believe that as long as I enter the City of Ice and Glass, I will have a way to enter the Abyss.
Zhan Jingyi was thinking while driving quickly. He could find that as he entered the City of Ice and Glass area deeper, even the map displayed in the navigation became a little more confusing.
Probably because this is a place where humans and ferocious beasts live together, the collection of road condition information is not that complete. However, as long as it can provide general guidance, it will be very good.
As I entered deeper and deeper, I met several people here and there.
Occasionally, they can be seen, some in the farmland, some on the edge of the orchard, in twos and threes. When they see a car approaching, they all stop what they are doing and look over. It seems that their movements are hollow and wooden, as if It is a plant that grows in the fields.
Although Zhan Jingyi had been to the City of Ice and Glass last time, he left at night and in a hurry, so he didn't see any human gathering places.
But this time, I was finally able to observe them closely and carefully. I heard people say that this place is full of fear. After all, during the hunting period, ferocious beasts appear at any time, so these people living here can easily die.
But the humans here are farmers during the non-hunting season. During the hunting season, they switch to guns and become prey. There are no kind people who can survive here, and there is no fear on their faces. There's not even a hint of weakness.
Once, Zhan Jingyi couldn't see the navigation road clearly and saw farmers working in the fields, so he wanted to stop and ask for directions. However, as soon as he slowed down the car, the other party immediately took out a submachine gun from his backpack.
The ferocious look on his face scared Zhan Jingyi. In order not to cause trouble, Zhan Jingyi hurriedly added some gas and sped off.
After this experience, Zhan Jingyi also understood the customs here. It seems that in such a dangerous place, people themselves are a dangerous factor, so it is better not to deal with people if they can.
…
For this safety reason, Zhan Jingyi did not even enter some passing gathering points, and carefully calculated the amount of fuel and food, just to rush to the destination as quickly as possible, but unexpectedly, the plan would never change. quick……
Just because...the jeep got stuck in a ditch.
This really can't be blamed on Zhan Jingyi. The road here is too difficult to walk. The map clearly points to a big road, but in fact it is full of potholes. The ground is clearly just a big ditch, but there is no hint at all.
As a result, Zhan Jingyi didn't see it for a moment, and both front wheels were stuck in it. The ditch was full of mud. Zhan Jingyi stepped on the accelerator for a long time and tried his best to sink deeper and deeper.
Zhan Jingyi saw that he couldn't drive out, so he had no choice but to get out of the car. He squatted on the edge of the ditch and took a closer look. He found that both front wheels were stuck in the mud and could not use any force at all.
As he watched, he gradually understood that the current situation did not require very good skills...
...but a crowbar.
Zhan Jingyi did what he thought of, and when he came to the trunk of the jeep, he rummaged around. He actually found the crowbar, took it out, and carried it for a long time, but he couldn't help but fall into the contemplation of life. The crowbar doesn't work either.
Since he is a mutant, he is quite powerful, but how can he lift this steel monster?
As a result, after working for a long time and sweating from exhaustion, the jeep still parked firmly on the spot without moving at all. Zhan Jingyi straightened up, squinted his waist, looked around, and saw the fields in the distance. Many people were already watching with their feet raised.
Zhan Jingyi looked over and found that there were men, women, and a few strong young men there.
"Fellow fellow..."
In desperation, Zhan Jingyi had no other choice but to ask them for help: "Can you come over and help lift the car?"
In such a chaotic and disorderly place, Zhan Jingyi didn't think that shouting would be useful, but now he had no other choice but to give it a try.
But what Zhan Jingyi didn't expect was that upon hearing his shout, the young and strong men standing in the fields in the distance immediately greeted each other, and a dozen people came over and surrounded the car. Next, shout one, two, three, and lift it hard.
There was so much strength in numbers, and the car was almost carried directly across the ditch.
…
Seeing this scene, Zhan Jingyi was very moved and hurriedly took out the cigarette powder and gave it to them: "Thank you, fellow man, thank you so much..."
Everyone around them waved their hands and said no in a simple manner, and some people who could talk enthusiastically said to Zhan Jingyi: "Oh, guest, your car is a bit bumpy. The chassis is bent. Come on, come with us back to the village." , let us help you repair it properly..."
"That's right, look at this tire, there are several nails stuck in it..."
Hearing these people's warm and simple words, Zhan Jingyi was slightly startled, then he declined quickly and said with a smile: "No, I have to continue on my way. This car can still be driven."
"Oh, guest, why are you so polite? Our village is very close, just a few steps away..."
"That's right, even if the car isn't repaired, it must be cleaned. Look how dirty this car is..."
"Also, you see, it's almost dark. It's not good to drive at night here. It's easy to get into trouble. You'd better go to my village to rest for the night..."
The surrounding villagers were really enthusiastic. They kept surrounding Zhan Jingyi and kept inviting him. It seemed that if he didn't go to the village for a while, something would happen.
Zhan Jingyi looked at these polite people in front of him, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He looked around again and saw that it was getting dark indeed. Since these people insisted on going by themselves, they did not refuse. Out of kindness, this group of people agreed to follow them to a nearby gathering point to repair their cars and rest for a night.
The group of people dispersed from the front of the car and found an older girl sitting in the passenger seat to accompany them and help guide them to the village.
"Oh brother, you are so handsome..."
The big girl with braids, holding a sharp sickle in her hand, looked at Zhan Jingyi shyly: "Brother, where are you from? Where are you going?"
"Haha, I come from the west and want to go to the City of Ice and Glass in the east."
"Do you have a partner?"
"...Not yet."
"Want to find it?"
"...Then I have to discuss it with my wife."
"Isn't there no one for you?"
"Yeah, I don't have a partner, but I have a wife."
"Dear readers, please vote, please praise, and please collect! Thank you!"
