Compared with the dilapidated slums, the urban areas are much more prosperous. And here, the number of black masked people on the streets has greatly increased.
The truck stopped in front of a supermarket. Just before the workers were about to unload the goods, two figures jumped out of the truck.
"This is the city area."
Dong Xie and his mother Ziyi looked ahead.
Obviously, although it is an urban area, it does not look very developed. At first glance, there are no buildings over five floors. Judging from the clothes of the people and the surrounding streets, the economic level here is really not very high.
At this time, two women in red masks suddenly appeared in front of them.
Although they are wearing masks, their bodies and clothing are enough to identify their gender.
Although it was still snowing in the sky, the two women were wearing fur coats that looked very valuable at first sight. Behind them were several men in gray masks, carrying a large bag of clothes.
"You should take good care of your clothes. If they get a little dusty, you won't be able to afford the compensation."
"Yes, yes, you two eldest ladies, don't worry, you will definitely get it."
Then one of the red-masked women suddenly stopped and looked up at a huge advertising poster in front of a building. On the huge poster was a middle-aged man with blond hair.
"Hey, Susan, let me ask you," the red-masked woman asked her companion next to her, "who are you going to vote for this time? Tony De or James?"
The woman named Susan looked at the huge poster and said: "Of course I vote for Tony. James' campaign strategy this time is too exaggerated. He actually plans to give out red or even blue masks as prizes to the following people."
Those low-level untouchables, don’t you think there’s not enough chaos inside the wall now?”
Dong Xie and his mother Ziyi happened to pass by the two women at this time. When he heard these words, Dong Xie was stunned and looked towards Susan.
"But James's Chamber of Commerce has trade relations with our family. If he can wear a silver mask, it should be a lot convenient for us, right?"
"My father told me that James is very ambitious. What he really wants is not the silver mask, but the golden mask lost outside the wall."
"Ah? The golden mask? Susan, are you serious? How long has it been since the golden mask was lost? How could it be possible to get it back?"
"I bet you that when he becomes the Silver-faced Senator, he will definitely expand the size of the Black Corpse Team and launch an expedition to retrieve the golden mask outside the wall. This is what my father told me personally. What kind of survival competition is this?
, also because he wanted to pave the way for selecting talents for this expedition. For James, as long as he can get the golden mask, he doesn’t care at any cost."
Upon hearing this, Dong Xie suddenly fell into deep thought.
James... a race for survival? What race?
New Expedition Beyond the Wall? Retrieve the Golden Mask?
Obviously, this cannot be a coincidence.
Last night, he and his mother Ziyi walked on the highway for an unknown amount of time and found this truck parked in front of a water supply station. They got in the truck and went all the way to the city despite the air strikes of workers loading the goods. After all,
, walking all night in such an icy and snowy night, you would either be chased and killed by the alien spirit, or you would freeze to death. But it was finally a little warmer in the truck. Dong Xie and his mother Ziyi took turns keeping watch, and finally survived the night.
Now, both of them were exhausted, and their eyes exposed on the masks were covered with red bloodshot eyes.
Mother Ziyi watched the two red-masked women go away. After a long time, she said to Dong Xie: "Let's find a place to rest first."
"Um."
In this place, there is no household registration system, and there is no need to register your identity to stay in any hotel. However, in order to save money, the two chose to stay in a hotel that seemed a bit remote.
Arriving at the front desk of the hotel, Dong Xie said to the gray-masked receptionist at the front desk: "Well, we want to open two rooms..."
"One room, as long as it's on the first floor, any room is fine." Mu Ziyi said before Dong Xie could, "Let's stay here for one day."
Dong Xie was stunned, and his mother Ziyi continued: "At this time, it's better to save a little bit. I don't care about a woman, so you don't have to be pretentious as a man."
"One hundred mongla. First of all, we don't have hot water here."
"No hot water?" Dong Xie was stunned, "It's so cold now?"
"Otherwise, do you think it can be so cheap? It's only 100 Mongra a day, and there's no deposit required? Just be satisfied. Do you want to live here?"
The other party's bossy attitude is completely like a tone that you can't help but love.
"Can we boil water downstairs?" Mu Ziyi continued to ask.
"There's a grocery store outside where you can boil hot water."
"That's fine."
The receptionist took the money from Mu Ziyi, then threw away a key and said: "Turn left, the one on the right at the end of the corridor. Oh, by the way. Do you want a safety umbrella?"
"Safety umbrella? What is this?" Dong Xie was stunned.
"Come on, buddy," the receptionist laughed and said, "You are a man and a woman, you are so wet. You want to have a separate room. Don't tell me that you are just sleeping in it? Our safety umbrellas are not expensive.
Hecai…”
"No need!" Dong Xie quickly took his mother Ziyi's hand and walked towards the left.
"By the way, once you get the key, you are allowed to move in. You can take off your mask in your room, so%..."
The receptionist's voice came from behind.
Dong Xie took his mother Ziyi to the door of the room and picked up the key. However, because his hands were so cold and shaking, he couldn't insert the key into the keyhole for a long time.
Mu Ziyi grabbed Dong Xie's hand and said: "Take your time, don't rush yet. We are all here, and with the speed of movement of the supernatural beings in this place, we are still in a safe situation for the time being."
"Well, it should be... it should be..."
"It's not that it should be, but it must be. If the foreign spirits can easily move within a wide range of the wall, those powerful people will not pay so little attention to the Black Corpse Team, and the zombie exorcists will become inactive. This shows that it is difficult for the foreign spirits to move over a large area.
Affecting the lives of these powerful people."
Dong Xie's key finally successfully inserted into the keyhole and opened the door.
Then, the two of them walked in, and Mu Ziyi closed the door.
"Well, let me get you some hot water first." Dong Xie looked at the simple room and bathroom and said, "We all have to take a hot bath first. Otherwise, we will definitely get frostbite."
"You should wash up first. The way you look, I'm really worried that you might catch a cold."
"No, it's still you..."
"I can hold on. I'm from the Northeast, and the winter there is much colder than in the south. I've adapted to it a long time ago. You wash first."
…
They were busy until about ten o'clock, and Dong Xie and Mu Ziyi had already changed into clean clothes in the hotel.
The only thing that was a little embarrassing was that the clothes in the hotel were all yukata. It was really awkward for Dong Xie and Mu Ziyi to sit opposite each other wearing such clothes. Moreover, the size of the clothes did not fit, causing the collar of Mu Ziyi to open a bit too wide.
These indescribable scenes made Dong Xie even more afraid to look at them.
Dong Xie opened the window, observed carefully, and said: "The snow still shows no sign of stopping."
The ground was frozen like this. If he ran outside and ran wildly, he would definitely fall and fall over in just a few steps. Therefore, Dong Xie really didn't want to be chased by the supernatural beings here.
Mu Ziyi pulled the collar again, hugged her chest with both hands, and said: "At present, there is no way to join Kuang Wenxuan and the others. For the time being, we can only find a way on our own. First... we need to find out about the so-called survival competition.
What's going on?"
"Then after lunch, we will go outside to investigate. Now, let's get some sleep. You go to bed first, and I will be responsible for keeping watch."
"Let's sleep together." As soon as Mu Ziyi finished saying this, she realized there was some ambiguity and immediately added: "What I mean is that we have to replenish our energy together. Judging from the current situation, foreign spirits cannot threaten us.
.If you really want to kill, you won’t delay the killing until now. And if you really want to kill us, it doesn’t matter whether we are awake or not. When performing the Scarlet Mission, you must not suffer from lack of sleep."
"But...it's just one room and one bed..."
The room was so cramped that a bed took up most of the mask, and there was no room to make a bed on the floor.
"If you have any dirty thoughts, I can send you to the underworld with just one thought." Mu Ziyi said, "You won't forget this, right?"
"I, I know..."
"Go to sleep! When you wake up, recuperate and then think about how to continue carrying out this mission with scarlet characters!"
