Chapter nine hundred and eighty third treasurer Hu steward
Li Zhi didn't know whether there would be a 'human gathering place' outside every city ruins, but after he came to the doomsday world, he visited two city ruins. The first one was where the 'Doomsday City' was currently stationed.
, the second one is now 'Tian Glaze City'.
Anyway, it felt strange to Li Zhi. Cities in the past were all for human habitation, but now the city is exactly the opposite. Instead, it has become a 'forbidden zone' for human survivors, and the whole thing has been reversed.
This human gathering place outside Tianca City is quite large. According to rumors alone, it is said that there are more than two million survivors in it. No one has counted the exact number, so Li Zhi also
have no idea.
Anyway, it is very big. In terms of the number of people, it is at least more than ten times that of the Doomsday City.
The larger the population, the larger the scale. The other kind is chaos. Chaos is everywhere. With so many people, without an effective and fast management mechanism, it will be difficult to bring all the survivors together into one.
fist'.
Before arriving at this large human gathering place, Li Zhi felt from the mouth of Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai that it was very "chaotic". Only when he actually arrived did he realize how chaotic it was!
Here, no matter survivors or evolvers, there are no moral constraints. Except for the prohibition of killing in the gathering place, anything is allowed.
As long as you pay enough 'money', you can kill people in the city!
Law and order?
There is no so-called security here, ability is king. People with ability can decide the life and death of those without ability, can occupy more resources, and can dominate and humiliate others. For ordinary survivors, this is hell.
But no one wants to leave here. Hell is true, but in this hell of people eating people, people can still survive by gritting their teeth. If they get out of here, there is a high probability that they will not survive.
Because no one who walks out from here can come back again.
This large human gathering place is located in a valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only two exits. A towering defensive wall is cast above the valley. Although it is already very high, there are still many people continuing to build and work on it.
"Hey, what about you, where did you come from?"
Li Zhi and Shi Sha rode Lao Huang and walked straight over without covering up. When they arrived at the gate of the city wall of the gathering place, they were intercepted by the gatekeeper.
The other party didn't seem to be afraid of Lao Huang at all. Instead, his eyes were full of green light as he looked up and down at Shi Sha, who was sitting in Li Zhi's arms. Some of his throats were twitching and he was swallowing saliva.
The aura on Lao Huang's body was obscured, so the gatekeepers probably thought that Lao Huang was just an ordinary mutant beast.
"Can we go inside?" Li Zhi asked instead of answering the doorkeeper.
The gatekeeper tilted his head and said nonchalantly: "Want to go in? Is this your first time here?"
"Hehe, boss, at first glance, they look like two stupid young men."
"That's right, that's right, we are lucky today... no, we are rich. Women like this are a 'scarce' resource in the city."
"I think this mutated beast is pretty good. It can produce at least several kilograms of meat, and it should be worth a lot of money!"
It was as if, in their eyes, both the beautiful woman and the old Huang sitting down with Li Zhi and Shi Sha were already theirs.
This is more terrifying than a robber. Chi Guoguo's desire for possession is not covered up at all. A few soldiers guarding the gate dare to do this. Then it is not difficult to imagine the style of officials in this city where humans gather.
Haven't you heard that saying, no matter what kind of general he leads, what kind of soldiers he leads, if his subordinates are all the same, how can he be a good official?
"Old Huang, they said they want to eat your flesh!" Li Zhi raised his head and patted Old Huang twice on the head.
Old Huang understood, and instantly released the aura of his 'imperial creature', and rushed toward the opponent.
"Emperor, emperor level... sir!"
"Little ones, little ones are short-sighted and blind, please, please punish me...!"
thump!
A group of soldiers guarding the gate were all kneeling there, desperately begging for mercy. In front of the emperor-level creatures, as long as the opponent yawned, they could be killed.
"I'm very curious, is there no one in charge in this gathering place of humans?" Li Zhi touched Lao Huang's head and asked him to regain his momentum.
The main thing is to find out the details. It is not good to be too strong.
"Yes!" The man kneeling on the ground nodded desperately, but did not dare to raise his head and look at Shi Sha in Li Zhi's arms.
As for the people around them, they all stayed away with fear on their faces and watched from a distance. It was unclear whether anyone went to inform the 'big shots' above.
Li Zhi frowned and said: "Since there is a manager, why is the management so lax? Aren't you afraid that the mutated beasts in the ruins of the city opposite will rush out and kill you?"
Facing the threat of mutant beasts, shouldn't the surviving evolutionaries of humanity unite?
Why did Li Zhi only see squeezing and planing here?
"The mutant beasts dare not come over, and we and the adults in Tianglai City have also reached an agreement. We can enter Tianglai City for hunting at will, but we need to 'tribute' a certain number of people or treasures every year in exchange for peace.
!" The gatekeeper explained with his head shaking.
Pay tribute?
A certain amount of population and treasures in exchange for peace?
Li Zhi frowned. How long can such peace last? I really don't know what the upper echelons of this large human gathering place think.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Are there any emperor-level creatures in the gathering city?"
"Yes!" The little guard guarding the door said without any hesitation and nodded affirmatively.
"What about the super creatures?" Li Zhi looked at him and continued to ask.
The little guard guard hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Are the super creatures you are talking about the 'gods'?"
Lord God?
Li Zhi heard this name for the first time, thought for a moment and said: "It is a being that is more powerful than an emperor-level creature. I don't know if it is a god. We all call such a creature a 'super creature'."
The little gatekeeper nodded and said: "Then they should be the 'Gods'. Yes, there are many Gods in our gathering place. They live in the innermost part!"
"A lot?" Li Zhi frowned and repeated these two words.
The little guard guarding the gate kowtowed several times and said mournfully: "Sir, please don't make things difficult for us. How can we know what the gods are doing? Please let us go!"
A handful of runny nose and a handful of tears, very pitiful.
Poor people must be hateful. In front of ordinary survivors, they bully the weak, and in front of those who are stronger than them, they are like reptiles. Such people have been 'wasted' and have no morals of their own.
.
If all the people in this huge survivor base with more than two million people were like them, would it be of any use?
Bad people should also have their own code of conduct.
"Everyone, get up. Are there any procedures required to get in?" Li Zhi looked at each other and said.
"No, no need. The adults can come and go as they please!" The little guard guard raised his head and shook his head vigorously with a smile.
Li Zhi looked at him and asked after a while: "We are coming from the outside world, and it is our first time to your gathering place. We can go in directly without any formalities?"
"Can!"
The little guard at the door smiled and nodded, extending his hand to indicate that Li Zhi and others could come in and out as they pleased, but he muttered in his heart, don't look at what kind of bullshit 'imperial creatures' you are, there will be 'gods' when you get in.
Come out to deal with you, huh, a few outsiders dare to be so arrogant, they really don't know whether to live or die.
Maybe at this moment, the gods have already set their sights on these unknown outsiders. Thinking of this, the little guard guarding the gate became happy again, and his eyes secretly glanced at the woman in the man's arms.
He sighed secretly, it was just okay, such a beautiful woman could not fall into his hands!
Since no formalities were required and he could come and go at will, Li Zhi did not stop at the entrance of this large gathering place and directly let Lao Huang walk in. As for him and Shi Sha, neither he nor Shi Sha had any intention of getting off Lao Huang.
"Boss, that 'Tian Glaze City' gave me fear, deep fear, coming from deep in my heart. I don't know why I feel like this, but deep down I really don't want to step into 'Tian Glaze City'
Go inside."
Shi Sha paused for a moment, then continued: "This large human gathering place gives me a weird feeling, very weird. Although it is surrounded by human survivors, I really don't feel like I can fit in. Look at them
Their eyes are different. Such eyes should not appear on human survivors, and I feel that they are not human survivors, but...mutated beasts!"
Li Zhi also felt this way about Shi Sha, but it was not as obvious as hers. People in the gathering place stared at Li Zhi. When Shi Sha and Lao Huang who sat down looked at each other from a distance, there was fear, disgust, desire and cruelty in their eyes.
Waiting for emotions.
They want to kill Li Zhi, Shi Sha and the mutant beast Lao Huang!
This emotion is very obvious, I don’t know why it is like this.
"Three gentlemen came from afar, and it is a sin to miss the welcome!" An old man came over from the street with a group of people. His age was hard to tell, but his goatee was already gray, and he looked a bit wretched.
The small eyes are not big, giving people a shrewd and cunning look.
Behind the old man with the goatee is a group of soldiers with mounts and heavy armor. Their appearance gives people a very tough impression. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, they are very 'tough'. There are about 150 people in total, swaggering around.
There were rampages on the streets, and no one dared to speak out.
"Who are you?" Li Zhi hugged Shi Sha and asked pretending to be confused.
The old man with a goatee glanced at Shi Sha with his mung bean-sized eyes, then quickly moved away. He looked at Li Zhi and said with a smile: "My surname is Hu, and I am known as Shopkeeper Hu. He is one of the 'stewards' here.
The adults can call me 'Manager Hu' or 'Shopkeeper Hu', it's all fine!"
Shopkeeper? Steward?
Li Zhi raised his head and touched his nose. This was really interesting!
"Oh, it turns out it's Manager Hu. I didn't know that Manager Hu brought so many people here in such a strong manner, but what did we do?" Li Zhi looked at the other party and asked with a curious smile.
"No, no, it's just that I just received news that several important figures have just arrived in this city, so I specially came here to invite you two to the city lord's mansion for a talk!" Manager Hu stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes.
He shook his head and said.
Talking about the city lord's mansion? This is not a big problem. Since he has already come, Li Zhi is not afraid of going anywhere. He was worried about not being able to find the person in charge of this place. Now he has taken the initiative to send him to his door.
His trouble.
"Okay, since Manager Hu invited us, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look. We happen to be very curious about this large human gathering place!" Li Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand and said: "Manager Hu, please lead the way!"
"Come on, you three, please come with me!" Manager Hu turned around and led the way with a squinted smile. There was no sign of neglect on his expression. Everyone knows that it is not easy for a young man to use an 'Emperor-Level Mutated Beast' as a mount.
.
In this world, if you want to live longer, you must be cautious.
Li Zhi and Shi Sha didn't know who tipped off 'Steward Hu', and they didn't know if there was someone else instigating behind Steward Hu. But it was true that Steward Hu and the two entered this large human gathering.
The first 'big shot' I saw after coming to Earth. (To be continued)
