I have a city in another world

Most of the wealthy and powerful people decisively chose to stay away from a group of mercenaries with suspicious identities.

They just want to be safe, but they don't want to get stuck in the quagmire and become victims of the struggle between two major forces.

In front of those merchants, they were wealthy and distinguished guests and were treated with great care.

In front of the two major forces, he was nothing more than a humble ant, easily crushed into pieces.

I would rather stay in the city and wait for other opportunities to come than take risks easily.

But there are still some people who, for some unknown reason, choose to be entrusted with employment.

Register your identity information and be told to be prepared, as the action may start at any time.

If possible, try to find as many life-saving means as possible, which may come in handy at a critical moment.

Without this reminder, the rich will inevitably do it. In order to save their lives, they will not be stingy in spending money.

In recent times, the city's transformation department has been booming, with many people queuing up to undergo body transformation just to increase their chances of survival.

Once the war starts, ordinary people are definitely more likely to die than reformers.

Weapons and equipment on the black market are priced higher and higher, and you may not be able to buy them even if you spend money.

The more critical the situation, the higher the price of weapons and equipment.

The rising tide also lifts all boats, including food and medicine, which are being snapped up by citizens. As sales prices continue to rise, the residents of Neon City are complaining endlessly.

Facing the impending war, everyone is trying to find ways to protect themselves, but they are limited by their own abilities and have different means of coping.

They didn't wait too long. The wealthy people who signed up were notified and gathered at the designated location.

When everyone arrived at the scene, they discovered that a mercenary group with mysterious origins had already been assembled and prepared.

Following the order, the team immediately began to take action.

Seeing such hasty behavior, the wealthy people were worried. They always felt that this group of mercenaries was too unreliable.

The guy who tried to escape before has proved with his own life that the defense of the Apocalypse organization cannot be broken through.

In broad daylight, there is no difference between arrogantly forcing a breakthrough and seeking death.

At this moment, the rich felt a trace of regret in their hearts, wondering whether they should cancel the order.

It's barely too late to leave the team now, but if you hesitate any longer, it may be difficult to escape.

Just as the thought came up in my mind, I suddenly saw an abnormal situation happening, and billowing dark clouds appeared around the city.

The dark clouds were gathering rapidly and looked extremely heavy, as if they would fall from the sky at any time.

Such a strange celestial phenomenon has never been seen before, which makes people shocked and panicked.

Then everyone saw strands of strange material hanging down from the dark clouds as thick as lead.

This thing is like ink, which spreads quickly after falling to the ground, like black mist.

However, in a short period of time, the plants and buildings that had swallowed up the ground outside the city were so blurry that they could not be seen clearly.

The group soldiers outside the city were also swallowed up by the black mist, and now they have disappeared.

A group of rich people who originally wanted to escape when they saw that the situation was not good, now their eyes lit up.

If we take this opportunity to break through the blockade of the group soldiers, the probability of success should be very high.

Thinking of the mercenary's performance and speculation about their true identity, everyone suddenly realized.

Obviously, this strange celestial phenomenon is most likely the work of a lost person.

They possess extraordinary power and create strange dark clouds and fog, making it easier to break through the enemy's blockade.

The rich man who originally wanted to leave became more confident at this moment and was ready to take the risk.

In addition to these rich people, there are also many people in the neon city who have noticed this spectacle.

They looked at the dark clouds in the sky and thought of taking advantage of this perfect opportunity to escape from the neon city that was besieged by heavy troops.

But in a short time, the Neon City became lively. Carrying various supplies, they quickly swarmed outside the city, preparing to escape under the cover of the black fog.

But the situation outside the city is far more complicated than imagined.

The black fog is getting thicker and thicker, making it difficult to see even one's fingers and it is easy to lose one's direction when walking.

Various lighting tools were unable to penetrate the black fog, as if they could swallow up the light.

Only by using an open flame can the road ahead be illuminated smoothly, but it can only illuminate a small area.

The area outside the firelight was still dark, as thick as soil.

The people trying to escape became panicked and became more and more frightened.

Then in the darkness, there came one after another strange screams. I didn't know what they were. It made people shudder.

Some timid guys were so frightened that they trembled and quickly returned to the city along the original route.

Although they can't see the road, they can feel it with their hands. They may be able to return smoothly, but they will definitely waste more time.

If the unlucky guy is trapped in the black mist, the end may be very miserable.

When there was panic in the city and chaos outside the city, the mercenary team escorting the rich was walking on the road at the moment.

As expected, they were well prepared for the strange black fog, pushing several specially-made cars as they marched.

On top of these cars, there are burning stoves, and the flames are burning at this moment.

The light of the flames easily dissipated the dark fog that looked like living things, thus ensuring a smooth journey.

While walking, I occasionally heard some strange noises that made my scalp numb.

At this time, the mercenaries would raise their guns and fire in a certain direction in the darkness.

Occasionally, screams and the sound of running and escaping can be heard, proving that there is indeed a terrifying presence in the black mist.

From time to time, you can still see the corpses of some weird creatures on the road, as well as the broken tentacles, arms and legs, exuding a disgusting stench.

The wealthy people following the march were secretly rejoicing at this moment. If they entered the black mist themselves, their end would be very miserable.

Following the mercenary team is obviously a wise choice. At least safety can be guaranteed.

But there are still some doubts that remain unanswered.

If this strange black mist was really created by the Lost, why should we be so cautious?

The Lost One should be very wary of things in the black mist and remain on high alert throughout the entire process.

Such a performance makes the rich more confused and confused about what is going on.

They didn't want to go into details, they just wanted to leave this terrible place as soon as possible.

Unless the problem is solved and there is no longer any danger, they will never come to Neon City again.

After walking like this for an unknown amount of time, everyone saw a roadblock.

This is a checkpoint built by the Apocalypse organization to restrict entry and exit from Neon City. In addition to solid roadblocks, there are also power grids in the wilderness.

The power grid is as thin as silk, but extremely tough, and is deployed through engineering vehicles.

Once someone passes by, they will inevitably be attacked and even turned into a ball of charcoal.

There is a minefield behind, with countless induction mines hidden, which will explode if someone passes by.

In order to prevent people from escaping, the Apocalypse organization made great efforts, obviously fearing the spread of infection.

If necessary, they would rather destroy this city to ensure their own safety.

But at this moment, the defense equipment was still operating, but the group soldiers stationed there were nowhere to be found.

Without wasting much effort, everyone easily crossed the checkpoint and continued walking towards the front of the road.

The black mist spread rapidly, swallowing up all the checkpoints of the Apocalypse Organization, and was still spreading slowly towards the surroundings.
