I Have A City In An Alternate World



In the process of evacuation, Tang Zhen asked about the origins of the horned helmet and his men. The result was just as he had guessed. They were also desperate people.

However, they were the second or third generation of desperators and not like Tang Zhen and the rest, who were desperators who had just arrived.

They weren't from despair Street either. They had lived here for a long time and finally gathered together for various reasons.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was a local tyrant.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the soldiers, the horned helmet and his men had built many shelters outside the city. They were like cunning foxes, so the soldiers could not catch them at all.

Without this method, they wouldn't have lasted until now and would have been killed by the soldiers.

Today, they were just moving as a routine. In the end, they accidentally met Tang Zhen and the others, which led to the incident that happened later.

It could only be said that everything was a coincidence. If they did not encounter Tang Zhen, the horned helmet's group would have missed an exciting battle.

Putting aside the desperer's weapons and equipment, just the fact that Tang Zhen was able to cast magic was enough to make the horned helmet's group pay attention.

If this method could be replicated, then it would undoubtedly be the best opportunity to change the difficult situation for those who were desperate.

Of course, the difficulty of such a matter was not small. The horned helmet and his group did not have much hope. Perhaps Tang Zhen's situation was just a coincidence.

Otherwise, after so many years, why would the despairing people be oppressed to such an extent, living in fear like rats on the street?

In the process of heading to the hidden camp, Tang Zhen asked the identity of these officers and confirmed that they were all residents of the city.

The deserters were of different races, but these Aboriginals all belonged to the same race. They called themselves the survivors of the divine Kingdom and had a strong sense of exclusion.

Compared to the strange residences on the long Street, these captured soldiers were all living people with flesh and blood. There was a fundamental difference between the two.

maybe something strange happened on the long Street, and the survivors of the kingdom of God in these cities weren't affected? "

Tang Zhen had a faint guess. Perhaps, the change in the strange Long Street had an inescapable relationship with the despairing people.

This was the reason why the residents here ostracized the despairing people and tried to make things difficult for them.

The problem was, why did they allow the desperators to enter the city and at the same time, exterminate the desperators outside the city? could it be that they were forcing the desperators into the city?

After the deserter entered the city, he still made things difficult for them. What was the reason for this?

Tang Zhen felt that he might be able to obtain an answer from the two long-robed men. He would have to interrogate them in detail later on.

After walking for about two hours, the horned helmet's group stopped and walked in through the middle of two large trees on the side of the road.

After entering, he found that there was a stone cave hidden in the shade of the trees and grass.

A slightly damp aura filled the area near the entrance of the cave. It was pitch black inside, and he didn't know what was inside.

"How big is your cave? can it hold so many of us?"

The dwarf asked. His huge body couldn't fit in at all, so he could probably only squat at the entrance of the cave and be a door guard.

"Don't worry, it's not a problem for thousands of people to live here. Of course, the premise is that there is enough food.

If there's no food, even if it's a safe place, it's impossible to stay for long."

The horned helmet's tone was a little helpless. Food was always the biggest threat to the survival of the despaired. If they could effectively solve this problem, they would not have to take the risk and move around all day to collect food.

Staying in the cave obediently and living in secret was a pretty good way of living.

Tang Zhen did not ask why they did not go hunting in the forest. After killing the dragon-like creature, he knew that the forest was filled with danger. The horned helmet and his group might not be a match for those monsters.

If they were to rashly enter the forest to hunt, it would already be considered lucky if half of their group could survive.

If they were not careful, or if they were unlucky enough to encounter a powerful monster, it was normal for them to be completely annihilated.

Under the lead of the horned helmet, the group entered the cave, and a dark hall appeared in front of them.

The men under the horned helmet lit up the oil lamp. It was made of tree sap, and after it was lit, there was a faint smell of grass and wood.

With the light, the scenery in the cave could be seen more clearly, and everyone could finally move freely.

Tang Zhen looked around and discovered that there were obvious traces of man-made excavation in the hall. The builders should be the horned helmet's group or some other desperator who had now become their shelter.

"Chase the soldiers into the cave next to it. As long as we send a few people to guard it, they won't be able to escape."

The horned helmet pointed to the hole at the side. That was a temporary prison cell. The entrance and exit were very narrow, and one could only crawl in and out.

In such a situation, they only needed a few desperators and a long spear to defend the place.

"Is this a prison specially built to imprison the captive officers and soldiers?"

Tang Zhen swept his gaze over and asked the horned helmet.

that's right, but that's all in the past. Five years ago, the biggest group of desperators here was annihilated, and this place became our hiding place.

"Then aren't you afraid that after the soldiers are redeemed, they will lead a large number of people and block you all inside?" Tang Zhen said with a smile.

The horned helmet chuckled and took out a sticky potion from his pocket. He said proudly, " "This is the soulless water. Once you drink it, you will forget everything that happened in the past half a month.

Every time we let those soldiers go back, we have to give them a mouthful of it. This way, they won't remember where they were held, and we don't have to worry about them coming to our door."

After hearing the explanation from the horned helmet, Tang Zhen finally understood the routine of these desperators. At the same time, he also understood their helplessness.

The horned helmet had said that when the soldiers saw the desperate, they could kill without any hesitation.

Only those who were lucky enough to survive would be taken back to the mines, with almost no possibility of seeing the light of day again.

According to the enmity between the two sides, after the deserter caught the soldiers, he had to give an eye for an eye and kill the soldiers to vent his anger.

However, they did not dare to do so. For one, they were afraid that the enmity between the two sides would deepen and reach an irreconcilable level.

Leaving them alive was in the hope that these officers and soldiers would be kind and show mercy when dealing with them.

Secondly, he hoped to use these soldiers as bargaining chips to exchange for a ransom and live a more comfortable life.

Tang Zhen did not care about the ransom. Instead, he was very interested in the methods of the two long-robed men. He urgently needed to lure out the fuzzy memories in his mind.

After ordering everyone to rest, Tang Zhen went to the two unconscious men in long robes and asked his men to find a way to wake them up.

The desperators walked around the cave and got two pots of muddy spring water, pouring it on the two long-robed men.

The two long-robed men slowly woke up after letting out a "Humph Humph Humph" sound from their mouths. In the end, they saw Tang Zhen standing in front of them the moment they opened their eyes.

The previous experience resurfaced in their minds, causing the two long-robed men to shiver. A sense of fear involuntarily surfaced in their hearts.
