Chapter 230
"Additional questions are the key for candidates to obtain rewards. Even when most candidates hear the divine revelation of sequence promotion, they need to rely on additional questions." Tsukano Kushiro said helplessly, "From a certain perspective, you have blocked all The way of man.”
"I don't want to either." Chen Jing was also helpless.
"If you only look at the surface, everyone in the forum is supporting the attitude expressed by the Hanging City Warlock. Everyone said they don't want to kill each other and harm the same kind of things. But the actual situation... I just heard that I have made up my mind to get rid of them. There are more than twenty of your people.”
Tsukano Koshiro raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight. He squinted and looked at the scarlet dome. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the hidden sun.
"Mr. Chen Jing."
"Everyone wants to kill you..."
Chapter 284: Teammates in the Table World (Part 2)
Chen Jing did not return to the walled city with the convoy. Instead, after the convoy drove forward for a certain distance, he flew back on Bai Aji's back.
Chen Jing didn't take anyone with him except Jegertos. He just wanted to take this opportunity to have some quiet time and figure out how to go next.
"In your world, are you always targeted by candidates like this?"
"It was pretty much the same in the beginning."
"Mr. Fog is really fucked up..."
"Who says it isn't?"
Seeing that Chen Jing suddenly fell silent without warning, the "him" in his mind hurriedly spoke.
"Don't have those extreme ideas. You don't want to do anything too extreme..."
"Do you think I'm that kind of extreme person?" Chen Jing replied dissatisfied, wondering who does this bastard take me for?
"I don't know about others, but I know very well about you." "He" in his mind said seriously, "We are the same, and I know very well what crazy ideas are popping up in your head."
Chen Jing silently looked at the clouds and mist passing by in front of him. He just felt that it was very unpleasant to have "himself" in his mind. This bastard seemed to have the ability to read minds and knew everything...
"You think people's hearts are unpredictable, so you can't tell who wants to kill you and who wants to harm you, so are you planning to... kill every candidate you meet?"
"I have no such idea." Chen Jing flatly denied.
"Then just think I'm talking nonsense."
The voice in his head sighed, but couldn't help but remind Chen Jing.
"It is known that all Old Descendants will be affected by the sequence of their own awakening, but the degree of influence can be high or low. After contacting deep space...don't you find that you are different from before?"
Chen Jing said nothing and remained silent without saying a word.
Until I returned to the walled city.
Chen Jingdu stopped talking to "him" in his mind because he knew that the bastard was right, but for some reason, he didn't really want to face this fact.
"You haven't gone to bed yet?" Chen Jinggang walked into the house from the balcony and saw Chen Bofu and the others sitting on the sofa, eating melon seeds and talking about something unknown.
"Seeing as you haven't come back for a long time, who can sleep well?" Chen Bofu said helplessly.
Baiage's speed is obvious to all.
After the convoy returned to the walled city, Chen Jing came back almost ten minutes late, which made everyone feel something was wrong... If Chen Jing hadn't said hello in advance and said he would slow down and come back later, I'm afraid Chen Bofu would have I can't help but go out to look for him.
"Have all the supplies been transported back safely?" Chen Jing asked.
"Who dares to rob us while we are watching?" Wei Nan sat on the ground carefree, looking like a curious baby, "Why did you come back so late? What were you doing on the way?"
"Blow the air."
Chen Jing scratched his head, then turned and walked towards his room.
"I'm going to take a nap. I'm a little sleepy. You guys should go to bed early."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Chen Boxu also yawned and stood up. He seemed a little tired early in the morning. "I'm older and have more sleep, so I have to take a nap."
…
The news that the Zhuolong Bandit Group was completely destroyed soon spread within the city.
But Hassad had said hello secretly, so the news that was passed around the city had nothing to do with "deep space". Everyone just recognized Chen Jing as an extremely rare high-level descendant.
That's all.
"Don't tell anyone that he has a relationship with Deep Space, and don't let anyone know that you have a relationship with them."
On the way back, Hassad found Anu and warned him over and over again several times.
"Your king has not yet risen, so it is very risky for you to rashly expose your identity and beliefs. You don't want to become a burden to him, right?"
Anu didn't quite understand what Hassad meant, but when he heard what he said was so serious, he just nodded desperately and promised that he would never tell anyone else.
Everything she experienced today was like a dream.
From knowing her life experience to going to destroy the Zhuolong bandits, the whole process took less than half an hour, so fast that she could hardly relax.
"So I have found the king...I am really one of His people..." On the way back to work, Anu was still mumbling excitedly to himself, "Abba, Mom, they must not have thought that ...I can see the black star coming with my own eyes..."
have to say.
This batch of materials robbed from the Zhuolong Bandit Group solved the city's urgent need.
Although most of the valuables were taken away by Chen Boxu, the remaining basic supplies were enough for the residents of the walled city to spend two months safely in the building.
On the wasteland with changeable climate.
It was like a god's day for people to stay in the shelter for two months.
So many people were grateful to Chen Jing, and also to Hazard, because the old man said that they were all his friends, and it was only for the old man's face that Chen Jing went out to find supplies and destroyed the Zhulong Bandit Group.
...
"You grandson!"
When Chen Jing was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he only heard the old man's cursing in the living room, and Ryan, who was sleeping at the end of the bed, was also awakened, and sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes and yawns.
"Master, are you awake?! Are you hungry?? I'll find you something to eat?!" Ryan jumped off the bed, turned over, got out of bed and put on his shoes in one go, but he seemed to have forgotten that he was still wearing Chen Jing's childhood pajamas.
"I'm not hungry, stop working." Chen Jing sat up while rubbing his temples, frowning and asking, "How long have I rested?"
"About ten hours."
Ryan looked down at the electronic watch on his wrist, which was also what Chen Jing often wore when he was a child. After so many years, it didn't look old, and the plastic parts were still brand new.
"How did you sleep, young master?"
"Not bad."
"Did I disturb your rest... or Ryan, you should sleep on the floor!"
"It has nothing to do with you, I can't sleep."
Chen Jing got up and walked out of the bed, touching Ryan's snow-white curly hair, and felt that it felt much better than the original skull head.
Opened the door and looked.
There were a lot of people crowded in the living room.
In addition to Chen Bofu and Lawrence Wei Nan, there were also several "subordinates" brought by Hassard, all crowded around the sofa in the living room.
At this moment, Chen Bofu was pointing at Hasad's nose and scolding him. He didn't know how Hasad had offended him, but he looked very angry.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Chen Jing walked into the living room, yawning and asking, "Why are you so angry so early in the morning? Who made you unhappy?"
"This old man provokes me!" Chen Bofu pointed at Hasad without hesitation, and was so angry that his nose was not nose and eyes were not eyes. "I haven't woken up yet and he came to knock on the door, urging us to go to the ancient ruins of the Star Residents. This old guy really treats us as laborers?!"
Chapter 285 The Ruins of the Star Residents (Part 1)
Perhaps it was the first time that these subordinates brought by Hasad saw him being scolded by someone pointing at his nose and he didn't dare to talk back. They all saluted Chen Bofu with a complicated look...
Seeing outsiders scolding their leaders, they were a little angry, but more of it was relieved.
That's right.
Relieved.
If it weren't for the old man Hazard being so lazy, the residents in the fort wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
Of course, it can't be blamed on the residents in the fort for being too lazy to go out and search for supplies. After all, not all the people living in this building are high-level old people. Most of the residents are low-level or even ordinary humans.
So there are often residents who secretly laugh at themselves, saying that this fort is like a combination of a nursing home and a kindergarten. The only old person with the highest sequence level is Hazard, and the second-ranked old person below him is not just one level weaker than him.
Yes.
The old person with the second strongest strength after Hazard is Tsukano Kushiro of Sequence 2.
Of course, this is not talking about the mechanical followers raised by Hazard.
If those strange things are added, the overall strength of the fort is not weaker than other forces in the wasteland.
It's a pity that those followers have the same aura as Hazard, so they have no chance to leave the fort.
Hasad really didn't dare to let them show up in the wasteland. Once the alchemists of the Hanging City caught a clue, he would probably face a new round of hunting in a short time.
"Didn't you say it would take a few days to prepare?" Chen Jing walked over and took a sip of the teacup that Chen Bofu had placed on the ground.
"No need!" Hasad was so excited when he talked about this, as if he had blocked out all the dirty words in the old man's mouth, and only had Chen Jing in his eyes. "The passage to the ancient ruins has stabilized. There is no better time to enter the ancient ruins than now!"
"Tensed to be stable?" Chen Jing looked at Hasad in confusion, and felt that these seemingly simple words revealed a dangerous taste.
"In fact, I dug out the passage to the ancient ruins a long time ago, but the state of that passage is not very stable. If you pass through it rashly, something bad may happen, so I have been waiting."
Hassard explained anxiously. Looking at his impatient expression, he seemed to be eager to go to the ancient ruins to dig out the mural right now.
"The state of that passage changes irregularly. Sometimes it is stable for several days, and then it enters a chaotic period. Sometimes it is stable for half a month..."
"Go now?" Chen Jing found an empty seat on the edge of the sofa and sat down. He took the potato chips handed by Yan Que and put them in his mouth.
"If you don't hurry up and go in, the next time may be ten days or half a month later. If you delay, things will change..." Hasard urged.
Chen Jing ate the potato chips slowly, looked at Hasard calmly, and was silent for a while before speaking again.
"Go in from the basement?"
"Yes, yes! We can go today!!"
The last time we talked about cooperation, Hazard had already revealed all the information about the ancient ruins of the Old King.
The ancient ruins were not far away.
It's underground.
Underground of the fortress.
Chen Jing still remembers the incredulous expressions on the faces of the old man and Lawrence when Hazard said all this.
…
"This is the structural diagram I drew after preliminary survey..."
At that time, Hazard also took out a painted drawing with a pattern similar to an eight-character gourd on it.
"The upper part is the main building of the fortress. The lower it goes, the more it looks like a trumpet mouth. The space below is dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the fortress!"
"You mean... the fortress is part of that ancient ruins?"
"That's right!" When Hazard said this, he seemed extremely excited, as if he had solved a problem that had troubled him for a long time. "Everyone thought that this building was a rare relic of the old days! But in fact, it is only part of the ruins! It just has some of the powers of the ruins!"
…
In the living room.
Hazard was still trying to persuade the old man not to be angry. After all, the state of the ruins passage was not under his control. He couldn't let it go when the time came, right?
During this process, Wei Nan and Yan Que did not dare to speak, even if they were excited, they could only suppress it, because they felt it was inappropriate to speak at this critical moment.
They all knew.
Going to that ancient ruins was to help them advance in sequence.
If it weren't for this reason, the old man would never agree to this cooperation. He would be crazy to be willing to risk his life in such an unknown ancient ruins.
"Have you decided on the departure time?" Chen Jing asked.
"As soon as possible! Or... in the evening?" Hasard carefully mentioned a time, and then hurriedly added, "Let's have dinner together in the evening to liven it up! Let's leave after dinner!"
