2024 Actually, I know how to do it too _1
From the horned helmet’s words, he knew that the city was not a good place, and it was not easy to live.
As for how difficult it was, Tang Zhen was not clear.
At the city gate, the old guard had said that he would rather die than return here.
Now that Tang Zhen had heard similar words again, there must be some reason behind it. Otherwise, it was impossible for them to have such an attitude.
The rich life in the high-class block sounded more like a dream now, a way for despairing people to comfort themselves.
When the horned helmet saw Tang Zhen’s interest, he knew that they were new here and probably did not know the truth.
Now that he had eaten barbecue and drunk wine, he owed her a favor, so he explained honestly, ” “From the looks of it, I’m afraid you’re from a low-level neighborhood. Otherwise, it’s impossible that you don’t know the situation here.
Walking along this road, there was a big city. Although there were many residents there, 99% of them were the original residents of the city.
the Aboriginals look down on us desperaters, but they don’t object to us entering the city. However, they restrict and exploit us everywhere. They try to empty our pockets and send us to the mines.
As long as you entered the city, you had to pay the city tax. If you stopped, you had to pay the night tax. You couldn’t stay on the streets at night, or you would be fined if you were caught. If you didn’t have money, you would be sent to work.
The so-called labor was to go to the mine to dig ore. The environment there was harsh, so it was better to stay on the long Street.
If you’re lucky enough to find a job in time, then congratulations, the money you earn every day is just enough to pay for staying in the city.
It was impossible to have extra money to buy food to fill their stomachs.
Therefore, the new desperators often can’t hold on for long before they escape from the city and won’t go back easily.”
The horned helmet sighed and said,”However, the days outside the city are not good. During the day, because of the existence of the road, those monsters can not cause any harm to the despairing.
But once night fell, the monsters would lose their restraints, and even the roads would not be able to stop them.
If they stayed in the wild, they would become the target of attacks, and they would lose their lives if they were not careful.
Even if they managed to avoid the monster’s attack at night, they still had to be careful of the city’s soldiers ‘pursuit during the day. They would patrol the road every day, and as long as they saw a despairing person wandering around, they would immediately capture and kill them, not giving you a chance to explain at all!
As for their goal, it’s naturally to capture the miners, but they’ve always killed before capturing them.”
The horned helmet’s tone was filled with resentment. It was obvious that he hated these soldiers to the core, as he had many dealings with them on a daily basis.
Tang Zhen’s brows were tightly knitted. After thinking for a moment, he asked the horned helmet, why do the residents here treat the despaired like this? is there some special reason? ”
The horned helmet shook his head, indicating that he was not very clear either. He had only heard people mention that the local residents had always regarded the despaired as thieves and robbed them of the benefits that belonged to them!
“Thief? what do you mean? what did the despaired steal?”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the horned helmet shook his head once again, indicating that he wasn’t sure.
then why don’t you just endure it? why don’t you fight against it? there should be many despairing people here, right? ”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the horned helmet shook his head and coldly laughed,”Do you think those soldiers don’t know this? that’s why they’re trying to hunt and capture the despaired people outside the city to prevent them from causing any trouble.
After so many years, the number of despaired people who had successfully arrived here had dwindled, and they were now a pile of loose sand that was no match for the soldiers.
The most important point is that the soldiers can use magic. This is the key reason why the despaired can’t defeat them.”
Hearing the word “magic” from the horned helmet, a flash of inspiration appeared in Tang Zhen’s mind as if he had recalled something.
Just as the two of them were conversing, a group of about a hundred people on the street in the distance was also attracted by the smoke that had just risen.
They were wearing equipment similar to the horned helmet’s men, but the accessories were more neat, and they moved in a more orderly manner, unlike the horned helmet’s men who were scattered.
There were two men in long robes in the lead. They looked in the direction of the smoke with a trace of coldness in their eyes. They waved their hands to signal everyone to move forward quickly.
It didn’t take long before they arrived at the location where Tang Zhen and the others were.
When they saw Tang Zhen’s group gathered in the middle of the road, surrounding a huge corpse and roasting it for a meal, the soldiers did not even need their commander’s instructions. They took out their bows, arrows, knives, and guns and pounced over.
“What bad luck, this bunch of guys who just won’t leave!”
The horned helmet that was conversing with Tang Zhen cursed out in anger when he saw this. Soon after, he picked up his weapon and called out to his companions to prepare for battle.
At the same time, he shouted to Tang Zhen beside him, didn’t you want to see those soldiers? they’re already here. As for what they want to do, I don’t think I need to tell you.
Tang Zhen nodded. He had indeed sensed the killing intent from the other party. Moreover, he could tell from the other party’s actions that there was clearly no chance for discussion.
prepare for battle. Don’t hold back!
Tang Zhen had always been a person who would return the favor tenfold. These soldiers were so aggressive and wanted to kill. Tang Zhen naturally would not be the least bit polite to them.
Just as Tang Zhen gave the order, hundreds of despaired people had already lined up on the street and arranged themselves in the battle formation that they had previously practiced.
The first row was lying on the ground, the second row was half-squatting, and the third row was standing straight with their muzzles pointed at the enemy.
A series of gunshots rang out, scaring the horned helmet and his men. They couldn’t understand what was so harsh.
When they came back to their senses, they saw that the soldiers who were charging at them had fallen to the ground one after another.
“What kind of weapon is this Kasaya?”
The horned helmet’s group was dumbfounded, but they immediately revealed looks of ecstasy. They had originally planned to learn to fight a bloody battle, but now it seemed that there was no need to do so.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the soldiers on the opposite side were killed. The rest either ran to the trees to hide or turned around and fled in horror.
The enemy’s morale instantly hit rock bottom.
Who would have thought that at this moment, two men in long robes among the group of soldiers would actually rush up against the rain of bullets with astonishing speed?
Moreover, there seemed to be an invisible wall of air on the surface of their bodies, which could block the bullets and prevent them from getting hurt.
When the horned helmet saw this scene, his expression immediately changed greatly. He reminded Tang Zhen, not good, they’re warlocks. Quickly kill them, or we’ll all be in big trouble!
The horned helmet’s voice was very loud. Not only did Tang Zhen hear it, but the two long-robed men also heard it.
One by one, you’ll be thrown into the forest and become the monsters “snacks. You’ll die a miserable death!”
Hearing the words of the two long-robed men, a hint of despair appeared on the face of the bull-horned helmet. However, it was clear that he did not want to just wait for death like this, so he ordered his subordinates to continue attacking.
However, in the blink of an eye, the two long-robed men had already rushed up. They raised their hands at the same time, and short spear-like objects appeared out of thin air, flying toward them.
“I’m going to die!”
Looking at the short Spears flying towards him, the horned helmet roared, his eyes filled with despair.
Who would have thought that at this moment, he would suddenly discover that something was wrong. Those short Spears that were shooting over all stopped in midair.
A transparent barrier appeared out of thin air ten feet in front of him, blocking all the short Spears that were coming at him.
what’s going on? what happened? ”
The horned helmet glared at them and roared. And then, he saw the two long-robed men’s faces reveal looks of shock, which quickly turned into terror, as well as a deep sense of disbelief.
spells? I’m sorry, but I can do it too!
Tang Zhen’s voice sounded. However, the contents of his words caused the horned helmet to feel as if there was something wrong with his ears.
This spell was actually released by Tang Zhen?
