Qingyang City, as the name implies, is the county seat of Qingyang County. It is also the largest and most prosperous city that Zhang Lang visited before the end of the world.
Shengjing, the capital of Lu State, is the most prosperous metropolis in the country and even the world. It is more than a thousand miles away from Zhang Lang's hometown. However, due to financial constraints, he has never traveled that far and has no chance to appreciate that kind of prosperity.
Grand occasion. He once imagined that if he continued to grow stronger and could travel thousands of miles back and forth within two or three days, he would have hope that he would see the ruins of the Holy Capital in the near future...
However, at that time, it will not be to appreciate the prosperous scenery, but to search for the remaining resources.
Before the end of the world, Zhang Lang had visited Qingyang City several times, and his impression was that it was a big city with towering walls and numerous high-rise buildings.
Especially in recent decades, with the Industrial Revolution and the substantial increase in productivity, relying on steam power and the abilities of various strange people, small villages have grown larger, large villages have expanded into small towns, and various original large towns have also
Expanding rapidly.
The ancient city wall of Qingyang City has been reduced to the inner city. The old city inside still maintains its antique style, while the outer city relies on new materials and machinery to build tall buildings that were unimaginable in the past. The circle is longer.
Taller city walls surrounded these prosperous and towering outer cities.
Zhang Lang arrived outside Qingyang City. The huge city gate was just wide open. The originally smooth stone road was overgrown with weeds and overgrown vines. Many of the tall pavilions were broken and collapsed, and in some places there were still hanging layers.
A huge spider web.
The street is full of scrapped steam locomotives, stained with rust, and there are collapsed iron pillars on the street. Zhang Lang once saw it in the newspaper. It seems to be called a water hydrant, and the water pipe is connected to it. It was when a fire broke out.
It is used to insert pipes and spray water to extinguish fires. Small towns like Anning Town do not have this kind of equipment. It is the privilege of big cities.
Zhang Lang's crossbow had been damaged when he fought against the giant bear. Now he was holding the Tiger Roaring Revolver in his left hand and a javelin in his right hand as he carefully walked into the outer gate of Qingyang City.
The population of Qingyang City is at least a million. With such a population, there are of course a lot of mutant monsters. Therefore, the buildings on the streets, whether they are private houses, shops or apartments and shopping malls, are almost incomplete, and monsters are destroying them everywhere.
traces of the past.
After so much time has passed, most of the monsters in the city will prey on and kill each other, which means that the ones that survive in the end must be the most powerful and dangerous ones.
Qingyang City looks dilapidated and peaceful, but there is considerable danger hidden behind it.
However, there is no need for Zhang Lang to go too deep. The city defense troops are usually stationed on the city wall. The weapons and equipment he wants can basically be found in the towers and barracks on the city wall.
Of course, these are generally standard equipment. Zhang Lang doesn't know if the wealthy businessmen and officials in the city have any special weapons in their possession.
He decided to take a look at the harvest on the city wall first, and then consider whether to go deep into the city.
The outer wall of Qingyang City is about five or six feet high, which feels like 17 or 18 meters. Zhang Lang looked up, stuck his javelin on his back, squatted down slightly, and with a sudden jump, he easily surpassed the top of the city.
He raised his hand to pry the battlements and climbed in.
With his current strength of several tons, it is really not difficult to support a weight of more than one hundred kilograms for twenty or thirty meters.
On the top of the city, you can see many skeletons wearing soldiers' uniforms. Some are still intact, but there are also miserable skeletons that have been torn at the waist or separated by limbs. You can often see them even on the hard masonry and battlements.
Deep scratches and chipping marks.
Zhang Lang picked up the fallen firearms from a corpse. As expected, in large towns like Qingyang City, the standard equipment for soldiers in Qingyang City is bolt-action rifles. But unfortunately, the quality of these standard equipment is far inferior to the Tiger Roaring Revolver.
After being exposed to wind and rain for so long, it was basically severely corroded, and the wooden handle was also severely weathered, making it basically unusable.
Zhang Lang simply ignored these things and walked along the city wall, passed through a fort, and walked into an archery tower not far from the city gate.
There are also some broken bones and firearms in the arrow tower. Although these are protected from wind and rain by the tower, they are also severely rusted.
Zhang Lang walked down the spiral staircase. Below is the thick pier of the archery tower. The outside protrudes from the city wall. It is thick and solid and can withstand cannon attacks. The inside is hollowed out near the inside and is used as a warehouse for storing weapons and supplies. It is also connected to the city wall.
The inner barracks are for soldiers to rest.
There must be weapons that are sealed and better preserved in the warehouse.
Soon, Zhang Lang found the armory. The door was tightly closed, as if it had not been opened since the end of the world. Zhang Lang pushed hard. The door was solid and thick, extremely difficult to destroy, and both the upper and lower locks were open.
Yes, there doesn't seem to be any trace of locking. Could it be that it was plugged in from the inside?
It was probably at the last moment that someone escaped from the monster and escaped into the strong warehouse. After such a long time, even if he didn't mutate, he would have been trapped and died in it...
He had to find a way to open the door! There was no way his hand could get through the crack in the warehouse door. If you had a saw or something like that, you might be able to go in along the crack and saw off the bolt. However, if someone really ran away inside,
Most of the time, other things will be used to hold the door up. Just destroying the door bolt may not be effective, and who knows whether the door bolt is made of wood or iron?
Or, if he is not afraid of trouble, the gate is not as strong as his magic weapon after all. He keeps hacking at it from the outside, and it will always be damaged.
Zhang Lang was thinking about it when suddenly, a drop of viscous liquid fell on his hand!
Zhang Lang was startled and subconsciously dodged to the side. Almost at the same time, a slender figure descended from the sky, waving its sharp claws, cutting several scratches on the stone tiles on the ground, and sparks flying!
Sure enough, there is a situation!
Zhang Lang squinted his eyes and saw that it was a monster that looked like a human, but had extremely slender limbs, sharp and slender nails, and a naked and hairless body!
The monster missed a hit, stood up, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth towards Zhang Lang, spit out its long purple tongue, and left thick saliva.
Good guy, this monster looked thin. Zhang Lang didn't pay much attention at first, but when he stood up, he was so big that he was three meters away. He looked like a bamboo pole monster!
Zhang Lang squinted his eyes and was looking at the monster when he suddenly remembered Xu's voice in his mind: "Quickly, kill him!"
"What?" Zhang Lang was taken aback. Xu, this guy seems to be a talkative guy. He usually mainly worries about altars, scores, enhancements, things in the mission world, and his activities in his home world. As long as he doesn't threaten to commit suicide,
Due to the virtual existence, this guy rarely interrupts. He usually only answers when Zhang Lang takes the initiative to ask. This sudden voice made Zhang Lang a little surprised.
"Just listen to me!" Xu's voice was a little excited: "You will know after you kill him!"
