I have a city in another world

Chapter 6849 Methods of Intelligence Acquisition
Those who are tracking Tang Zhen's enemies should soon realize that this explosion was no accident.

Tang Zhen's revenge has already begun quietly; this time, he intends to retaliate in kind.

Regardless of their background or which camp they belong to, anyone who dares to provoke others will have to pay the price.

The battle blade in Tang Zhen's hand, which had not been stained with blood for a long time, was now humming continuously.

Now that I have obtained the Dark Realm, I need countless lives to nourish me and make me even stronger.

Since that's the case, let those reckless fools become food for the dark side.

Although the information collected previously provided some clues, it did not help Tang Zhen find the answer directly.

The underground world of Oren City is far more complex than imagined, like a plant rooted in fertile soil. Everything on the surface is clearly visible, but the roots underground are nowhere to be seen.

If you really want to see it clearly, you have to uproot the plant, but that will kill it.

It is precisely because of this risk that growers tacitly allow the roots to grow and permit situations they are unaware of to occur.

Ultimately, it was nothing more than some concessions made to save face for the greater good.

There are always complaints that the officials of Oren City ignore the existence of darkness and allow crime to breed and spread.

Little did they know that those high-ranking officials had much more comprehensive information, but chose to remain silent.

Wherever the light shines, wherever there is prominence, there will inevitably be shadows; this is the inevitable price to pay for development and progress.

Those in positions of power know that such things are unavoidable.

It should be noted that the scale of this underground city is even larger than that of the surface city, and Oren City has a population of over 100 million. Finding a relatively unknown location is definitely not an easy task.

Finding more locations and gathering more intelligence might help us achieve our goal.

The intelligence information he had just gathered gave Tang Zhen a better understanding of the underworld and revealed more locations for obtaining intelligence.

The next destination was another place that provided intelligence trading, located in a tavern in an underground city.

The underground world of Oren City offers a variety of transportation options that can be purchased or rented as needed.

Tang Zhen's physical flight speed is comparable to that of a small aircraft, and when he uses escape techniques, he is as swift as the wind.

However, during the journey, they would occasionally encounter checkpoints and even be openly charged by cultivators and martial artists.

The toll collectors claim that they opened up the road and the area it passes through, planted a large number of oxygen-producing plants, and reinforced the space, all of which cost a lot of money.

Passersby must pay a certain fee if they pass through the area or go there to conduct business or reside.

The authorities have consistently tacitly approved of this behavior.

With these people present, the underground city can be maintained in a timely manner, preventing situations such as collapse and water accumulation.

If maintenance is not carried out in time, the underground city will suffer a devastating collapse, and the surface will also be severely affected.

The government also regularly allocates funds to repair and maintain some major passages, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the underground city.

Outside of the main access routes, the authorities do not pay much attention to the areas and turn a blind eye to unauthorized mining and expansion.

Tang Zhen passed through the checkpoints and walked for a while before entering a straight passage.

This passage is fifty meters wide, about thirty meters high, and has a total length of one hundred kilometers, with countless branches in the middle.

This is an officially built and maintained passageway, where silent railcars run in two different directions.

Every ten minutes, a vehicle will arrive at the station, just like a standard subway line.

Besides the train tracks, there are pedestrian walkways on both sides. One side is close to the tracks, while the other side features various buildings embedded in the walls, along with countless streetlights and a wide variety of plants, creating a truly unique landscape. This underground passageway is a must-visit for tourists and is also the safest area in the underground world.

If anyone dares to do anything illegal or disorderly, the street guards will take immediate action and make them pay a heavy price.

Under the bright, quaint streetlights, clusters of trees and flowers swayed in the breeze. The benches were full of tourists, and trains would occasionally pass by, but they made little noise because a sound-isolating magic array was in operation.

Ordering a specialty drink from a roadside shop and slowly savoring it at a roadside table is quite a unique experience.

Tang Zhen saw that the scenery was nice, so he slowly stopped and blended into the crowd on the road.

Oren City has a long history, and its underground city has existed for more than three hundred years longer than the surface city.

It turns out that a group of miners accidentally discovered an underground ruin. They couldn't determine the exact date of its construction, but they knew that it was quite large and spectacular.

After the news spread, it attracted countless people to come and explore, and many people even lived in the underground ruins.

The avenue beneath our feet is one of the relics from that time. Although it has been renovated, the original landscape style has been preserved as much as possible.

Wizards place greater emphasis on preservation and inheritance, unlike foolish mortal officials who always build through destruction, thus causing serious damage to culture and heritage.

The wizards' foresight has now been proven, with a constant stream of tourists bringing in enormous wealth each year, mainly due to these buildings steeped in history.

If you have enough time, you can slowly appreciate the various buildings along the roadside and find inspiration in their mottled patterns, which may lead to the creation of a great work.

All sorts of artsy young people, as well as famous artists, are frequent visitors to this street.

After walking about two kilometers, Tang Zhen took a railcar and headed straight for another destination.

This place is called Station Fifty-Three, named after the station number. However, the earliest trains running here were not railcars, but a modified and bred heavy horse-drawn carriage.

The horse-drawn carriages have been replaced by rail trains, and that station has become a tourist attraction.

There is a tavern here called Eternal Night, which is also a place for intelligence trading.

Upon arriving at the tavern, I discovered that it was extremely large, resembling a factory workshop.

The ground and the air are divided into three levels, which can be accessed and traversed by stone steps. In the middle is a huge stage, where a singer and band are performing at the moment.

This enormous tavern boasts an excellent atmosphere, with its slightly dim lighting creating a very pleasant ambiance.

Tang Zhen's methods of concealment will not be used indefinitely; they are only used to erase his whereabouts or as a trump card at crucial moments.

After entering the hotel, Tang Zhen revealed his true form, but it was a disguised image.

They look no different from the locals; from the outside, there is absolutely no difference.

Find a table and sit down. A waiter will come over and hand you a scroll-shaped menu.

Tang Zhen took out a sum of money, turned the menu face down, and placed the money on the back of the menu.

Seeing this, the staff member silently put away the money and then took out a pen and paper.

Tang Zhen wrote a line of text, handed it to the waiter, and then waited silently.

A little while later, the waiter came over again.

She brought a new menu and recommended one of the set meals to Tang Zhen, but the price was outrageously expensive.

Tang Zhen did not hesitate and paid directly.

The waiter left again and soon brought over several dishes, a pot of fine wine, and an antique book.

Tang Zhen opened the book, glanced at it carefully, and then put it in his pocket.
