"Didn't I say that? I'm here to travel."

"This……"

Cheng Men's tone was stagnant, and he didn't know what to say. He could only hold the steering wheel tightly and try his best to ensure the stability of the car.

Several cities in the south are already in chaos because of the strange man in the mask. Countless strangers flock to those cities every day.

Traveling at this time is no different from courting death.

but……

The thinking of the boss is probably different from that of ordinary people.

For them, the more dangerous the place, the more exciting it may be.

After a while, Su Xia suddenly asked: "Haima City, has the current city owner not changed?"

Cheng Men hurriedly replied: "No, no, it's always been that one."

"Oh."

Su Xia nodded slightly, confirming that the information she had collected was correct.

Haima City is a very special city. It is different from those cities that existed before the war. It was newly built after the war.

Initially, there was only one large temporary refugee gathering place in that area.

After the war ended, the leaders elected by these refugees proposed a solution—they did not attach themselves to other cities, but directly built the city in situ.

This idea was supported by the mechanical clan.

As long as they can maintain stability, avoid chaos, and have a large enough population, it's okay to build another city.

In this way, the huge Haima City rose from the ground, absorbing the surrounding refugees while building it, absorbing those homeless and displaced refugees due to the war. Rapid expansion in the years that followed.

Later facts proved that their original strategy of building the city was very correct.

Just look at the refugees who are now attached to various cities. Many refugees still don’t have enough to eat. The refugees in Coral City are very typical.

However, most of the residents of Haima City have already got rid of hunger. Relying on the superior geographical location and occupying the traffic arteries, they can collect a lot of money every year just for tolls.

Whether it is seafood from the southern coast to the northern cities, or food and energy from the northern cities to the southern coast, many of them will pass through the giant transfer station of Haima City. There is an endless stream of businessmen traveling from south to north, and cultural exchanges and language exchanges make this The city is becoming more and more prosperous.

"Where were you from before? It doesn't sound like a local accent." Su Xia asked casually.

"My lord, I used to be from Hantie City in the north, but I fled here and settled in Haima City." Cheng Men replied while driving.

"Hantie City?" Su Xia thought about the map. It was a city located in the northern part of the mainland. "It is indeed quite north, and it is close to the border line. It spans more than half of the land area, and it is not easy to escape."

"Oh, yes, all my relatives and friends died on the way to escape, and I was the only one left in the end, and I didn't want to go back, so I returned to my roots here..."

Thinking of his past experience, Cheng Men couldn't help sighing for a while, living in troubled times, involuntarily, it's not easy to survive.

In fact, the war has never ended, but the human race is temporarily weak, and there is no armistice treaty between the two sides.

The peace of recent years is just an occasional period among countless wars.

Maybe they will continue to fight at any time until one side is completely destroyed.

"Is Haima City in a mess now?"

"My lord, in fact, Haima City has always been in chaos."

Cheng Men replied seriously: "After all, this city is composed of countless refugees without even the most primitive foundation. It was very chaotic at the beginning, and there are countless businessmen coming and going every day. It's a mess, but all the chaos The superficial economic prosperity masks it."

"Well, that makes sense."

"Recently, I don't know who is spreading rumors that masked monsters have come to our city, and the result has become even more chaotic."

"Is the masked man really here?"

"I don't know." Cheng Men shook his head and sighed, "But for the bounty, those people came all at once, regardless of whether the news was true or not. The hotels and hotels in the city are almost full."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Su Xia smiled. "It drives the economic development of the whole city. What's wrong with making more money?"

"My lord, you have a good attitude. You are different from ordinary citizens like us. We just want to live a stable life."

Through communication, Su Xia learned that during these days, the number of homicides in Haima City has increased by more than ten times.

There is an undercurrent in the city, gunshots and explosions can be heard every night, people can be seen lying dead on the street every day, the blood stains on the street are too late to clean up, even the professional killers in the Zero Tavern have died a lot.

Cheng Men is not the petty bourgeois he calls himself.

Those who can do his job and resell drugs between cities are basically capable people.

"For the current chaos, don't your city lords have any means?" Su Xia asked.

"The city owner is still the same, maintain the basic rule and not collapse, and let the people below make trouble."

"He didn't interfere?"

"This... I don't know..."

The human city lord of Haima City is much more capable than Qi Lang of Coral City. He firmly holds the core power of the entire city in his hands, and he will not worry about his position being unstable all day long like Qi Lang.

Unlike the two big families in Fishscale City, Haima City doesn't have any superficial big families at all, so it can be regarded as a centralized system of city lords.

"My lord, are you a legendary fifth-level creature?" Cheng Men asked suddenly.

"Why do you ask this?"

"I heard that two fifth-level creatures from the north came to Haima City." Cheng Men explained: "My lord, when you are traveling in Haima City, you must pay attention to those two. They had a conflict... some local gangs had a conflict with them before, and the whole gang was wiped out."

"Well, a fifth-level creature sounds pretty powerful."

Su Xia's tone was relaxed, and she didn't care too much.

He just went to look for Dad's team, and if he couldn't find it, he would leave without delaying too much time.

As long as he doesn't reveal his identity, he won't face off against the two high-level creatures in the tavern. If he really does, he won't be afraid.

For ordinary people, a fifth-level creature is probably considered a fairy-level creature, and they may not see one in a lifetime, let alone a conflict.

Those gangs were also unlucky.

According to Cheng Men, those gang members are gangsters, refugees, without fixed jobs, and often rob businessmen from other places, relying on this method to maintain capital turnover.

In the past, it was fine to rob, but during this period of chaos, they still refused to stop, and it didn't take long for them to snatch a fifth-level creature.

As soon as the fifth-level creature released the wave of psionic energy, several gang bosses were so frightened that they knelt down on the spot.

"The fifth level seemed to be in a good mood at the time. He didn't kill them and let them go."

Cheng Men held the steering wheel tightly, and continued, "Those gangsters were also frightened. They planned to restrain themselves for a while and wait for the storm to pass before continuing to rob, but... Maybe they didn't have enough money, so they decided to rob one last time before stopping."

Coincidentally, those gangs actually snatched another level five creature!
This kind of luck can really buy lottery tickets.

Because some gossip pointed out that there are only two level five creatures coming to Seahorse City now.

It's a pity that this time the fifth-level creature was not so kind. He annihilated those gangs in a fit of anger, killing hundreds of people that night.

The next morning, as soon as people in that area opened their doors, they saw corpses strewn all over the street.

"After this happened, the city lord just sent someone to collect the corpse, and didn't say anything." Cheng Men mentioned the situation at that time, "After all, it was the zero o'clock tavern, and the city lord probably didn't want to provoke it... and before the zero o'clock tavern I sold my face to the city lord."

"What face?"

"The child of the city lord was arrested by the people at the zero tavern for causing trouble not long ago. Later, the zero tavern sent his child back intact. The city lord returned some gifts to express his gratitude."

"make trouble?"

Su Xia was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with the city lord's child? The whole city belongs to his father."

Cheng Men replied: "It's a bit strange to say that, the son of the city lord actually worships that masked man very much, and he was arrested for pretending to be a masked man before."

"oh, I see."

Su Xia also finds it strange that there are people with such a high status among his fans.

It stands to reason that his supporters should all be poor people, why does this kind of rich boy worship him?Aren't you afraid that he will chop off his father's head one day?
Thinking of this, Su Xia's heart moved slightly, leaning on the seat, looking out of the window, and clicking on the task bar of the game system.

He has a long-term mission [Burning Bones in a Foreign Land], which requires him to treat the families of the members of the Old North Wind Organization kindly.

This task was previously linked to the [Zhao Qin's Last Wish] task.

But Zhao Qin's last wish mission failed, and the entire [Buried Bones in a Foreign Land] mission also turned gray, and there was no other reminder.

Su Xia just thought that there should be family members of the old Beifeng members in Haima City. Although the task is gray, you can still check the details.

He clicked on the mission and saw that there were indeed several mission objectives on the map of Haima City.

If there is nothing wrong with this trip, I will go to see those family members and save some money before leaving.

"What do you think of the masked man?" Su Xia put away the mission system and asked Cheng Men casually.

"He's a good man, and many people support him." Cheng Men replied earnestly, "But his way of doing things is too violent, and he won't be flexible and compromise. As a result, the current situation of being surrounded and suppressed by the whole world is ultimately unsustainable."

"But if he compromises, there won't be so many people supporting him."

"yes……"

Cheng Men nodded, deeply convinced.

It is precisely because there are too many people who compromise that people like the masked man are so valuable. Under the general trend of the times, there are really too few people who go against the trend.

Such a person is admirable, even in the chaotic city of Haima, there are people who dare to publicly stand up and support him.

"grown ups……"

"how?"

"Those undead warriors asked me to ask, do you plan to accept disciples?" Cheng Men pointed to his ear, which was hung with a communicator through which the players communicated with him.

The players were in a hurry. They planned to talk to Su Xiaduo on the way back, but they didn't expect Su Xia to get on a separate off-road vehicle directly.

They had no choice but to ask Cheng Men for help.

Su Xia smiled and said, "They wanted to give up your supplies before, don't you blame them?"

Cheng Men shook his head: "Facing the mercenary king, it's normal for them to give up, I can understand."

"Well, tell them, I don't accept undead apprentices."

"Ok."

Cheng Men immediately replied to the players behind, relaying Su Xia's words completely.

Hearing this news, the players were immediately discouraged, and even the joy of harvesting the supplies just now was diluted a lot.

A member sighed: "Oh, this is the reason again. Before that, several big bosses publicly stated that they would not accept people like us."

"This is the chain of discrimination. The machine race discriminates against the human race, and the human race discriminates against us."

"What about the Zerg?"

"The Zerg discriminates against all races equally."

"Don't be discouraged!"

The boss of the player team said: "The boss is traveling alone, there is only one person, and Haima City is so big, it may be inconvenient for him to do things, maybe he will need someone to help him?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the rest of the members lit up.

"Boss is right, it's not time to give up yet!"

"That's right, think about what Li Defu from the Beechburg team said - facing high-level NPCs, you should be like chasing girls, stalking and persevering, and you will always gain something in the end!"

"Boss Li Defu is right!"

"A wise saying!"

"No wonder the Beechburg team can develop so fast..."

Everyone nodded, feeling that this statement was true and worth a try.

That is to say, from this day on, a sentence pattern began to circulate in the game——Li Defu once said...

The night was thick and the wind was howling, and the convoy was moving forward on the wilderness road like a long glowing dragon.

According to calculations, they arrived at Haima City at about three o'clock in the morning.

Su Xia was bored, took out the thick "Spaceship Operation: 21 Days from Beginning to Ascension", and continued to watch to learn the knowledge of spaceship driving.

After digging deeper, it becomes clear that the 21 days written on the cover is pure nonsense.

Just seeing the classification of spaceships gave Su Xia a headache.

Various names, such as exploration ship, transport ship, frigate, experimental ship, etc., hundreds of thousands, different sizes, different specifications, even if it is the same name and specification, if it is produced by different companies, there will be differences in details .

"Uncomfortable, I need an experience book."

Su Xia rubbed the center of her brows and closed the book. The things on it were too difficult for an ordinary college student.

It really made him learn from scratch, and he didn't know how long it would take to learn to pilot the spaceship proficiently.

Even with the simulated training system of the oasis camp, it may take a very long time, and what he lacks most now is time.

In the reward column of the next stage of the mission [Buried Bones], there is the reward "Battleship Driving Experience Collection", which is similar to "Pharmacist Experience Collection", but unfortunately this mission is grayed out, and I don't know if it can be reactivated this time .

Time passed slowly, and at four o'clock in the morning the next day, the convoy was still on the road, longer than Su Xia expected.

If he had flown directly, he might have arrived long ago.

"My lord, we are almost there!" Cheng Men said respectfully.

"You've said that three times."

"This time it's really coming soon..."

Cheng Men slowed down the speed of the car. The road was bumpy and the car body was shaking constantly.

Some scattered street lights began to appear on the left and right sides of the road, like rare fireflies in the dark, guiding the way home for those who go out.

Further ahead, the outline of a city gradually became clear in the dark night.

Seahorse City has indeed arrived.

In the rear, the players in the convoy were all relieved. Their mission rewards were secure, and there would be no more problems.

But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the dark night.

"boom--"

The gunfire was very close, not far from the left side of the road.

"what happened?"

The players were shocked, and they speeded up their cars one after another, surrounded several trucks in the center, and took out their weapons to aim at the surrounding darkness.

Before they could fully react, they saw a black shadow flash past.

"Who?"

The team leader was extremely vigilant, with his finger on the trigger.

But the black figure seemed to be running for his life, ignored him, and quickly fled into the distance.

At the same time, many people's voices came from behind: "Stop him, he is the masked man!"

"Stop it, half of the bonus will be shared with you!"
