Chapter 257 Abandoned Teleportation Array
The boy behind the rock walked out tremblingly, biting his cracked lip, and said carefully: "Sister Beauty, I...I didn't mean to...I...I just...smelled the smell of meat, and I couldn't help it for a while... Sister Beauty, I haven't eaten meat for three years, I..." As he spoke, he knelt down.

Looking at the young man's cheeks that were flushed and cracked by the wind, and the reed catkins leaking from his cuffs, Su Yun sighed, took out two pieces of beef from the leather bag, cut them into small pieces with grudge, and then took oil paper Wrap it up and throw it to the boy: "Eat."

"Beautiful sister, you are so kind." The young man said overjoyedly, he couldn't wait to open the oiled paper bag after receiving it, and began to eat it with big mouthfuls. The beef was soaked in a secret marinade, it was very tender and delicious, and it was delicious for a young man Mouth full of embarrassment.

Seeing him gobbling it up, Su Yun smiled. The innocence and pity of this young man reminded her of her friends in the experimental base.

They are all children abandoned by their parents. They have no idea how long they can live. They are subjected to high-intensity experiments day after day. They are numb like screws. The only thing that can be called fun is half an hour in the afternoon. free activities.

During that half hour, they can laugh and play without any scruples, no matter what they do, they will not be stopped.

At that time, the punishment they feared most was shutting up in a dark room, because it meant that they would not be able to see their friends for at least a week.

Sure enough, compared to pain, darkness and indifference are the most unbearable!

The young man realized that Su Yun was looking at him, stopped embarrassingly, and said, "Beauty sister, thank you for your meat, I...have never eaten such delicious food since I was born."

Su Yun glanced at his jacket, which was so dirty that the original color could hardly be seen, and frowned, "Where are your parents? Don't they care about you?" No matter how poor and miserable, a child of this age shouldn't wear tattered and dirty clothes. His clothes are wandering outside!
The boy lowered his head: "My name is Gousheng, I have no parents, I am a wild species."

"..." Su Yun suddenly didn't know what to say. It is impossible for any parent to give their child such a name!

"How do you usually live? What do you eat? What do you wear?" Su Yun asked. She is not the Holy Mother, and it is impossible to save everyone, but when she sees the abandoned child, she inevitably feels a little sympathetic.

The young man scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Moonlight City is full of children like me. We scavenge waste outside the city during the day and sleep in the city at night. I am the boss of this area! Sister Beauty just ask me if you want to know anything." I!"

"How do you know that I want to know something?" Su Yun asked.

The young man grinned his snow-white teeth: "In such a desolate place like Moonlight City, if it wasn't for looking for something, how could someone like Sister Beauty come here? To tell you the truth, this is the first time I've seen a griffin when I grow up." Woolen cloth!"

Listening to the young man's speech, Su Yun also felt a little emotional, there are still many poor people in this world!

After some hesitation, she generously admitted: "Gousheng, I really came to Moonlight City to find something."

"Sure enough, I guessed it right!" The young man stretched out his pitch-black palm happily, "Beauty sister, give me two more pieces of beef, and I'll tell you everything I want, even if it's the city lord's wife, what color underwear is she wearing?" , I know it too!"

"You are well-informed!" Su Yun smiled jokingly, and took out two large pieces of beef, "Here, eat slowly!"

"Don't worry, I can't bear to eat this kind of rare and good food, I have to save it and eat it slowly." The young man said proudly, carefully wrapped the beef and put it in his arms, raised his head again, and said old-fashionedly: " Sister Beauty, tell me, what do you want to know?"

"I came to Moonlight City to find—" Su Yun paused, she didn't know how to make this young man who obviously had no basic education understand the term teleportation array.

After thinking for a while, Su Yun gestured and said, "Is there a square built a long time ago in Moonlight City? It's about this big, surrounded by pillars on the outside, and carved with many incomprehensible patterns in the middle? Is there such a place?" ?”

Hearing this, the young man showed doubts: "There is indeed a place in the outskirts of Moonlight City that is similar to what the beautiful sister described, but Yonghe Square was completely buried and abandoned due to a sandstorm as early as 20 years ago. Because of lack of money, until now Nobody cares."

"No one cares?" Su Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

The Central Continent is divided into four parts, southeast and northwest. Originally, the four continents were connected by teleportation arrays. Many cities with poor resources like Moonlight City soon prospered as the transportation hub of the mainland because of the teleportation arrays.According to historical records, Moonlight City once had hundreds of thousands of permanent residents, and ten times that number of migrants. It was prosperous and full of vitality!

However, since 300 years ago, the Eastern Continent has successively closed the teleportation arrays with the other three continents, and finally cut off contact with the three continents, becoming an independent and closed small world.And those cities that were poor in their own products and prospered because of the teleportation array naturally gradually weakened.

"Can you take me to...Yonghe Square?" Su Yun asked.

The young man smiled wryly and said: "Gousheng took my sister's things, so of course I have to do things for her. But that place is now occupied by a group of thieves. I advise the beautiful sister not to... go. It's better. Although the beautiful sister looks extraordinary People, but there are hundreds of thieves living near Yonghe Square!"

Bandits refer to bandits who block roads and rob merchants and travellers. With the sound of arrows, horse bandits rush out and rob goods and supplies.

Su Yun naturally didn't take the thieves seriously, but she couldn't bear to see the dog left trembling, and said: "It's getting late, I'll listen to you, don't go find the thieves. I'll go over there when I gather all the people." !"

"Beautiful sister, if you really need to go to Yonghe Square for something urgent, I advise you to go to the city to find the city lord. This group of thieves have been entrenched outside Moonlight City for more than three years. The merchants who do daily business are gone. Not to mention poor scavenger like us, even the city lord... wants to leave!"

"It seems that these thieves are not a little bit arrogant!" Su Yun sighed, Moonlight City was so dilapidated that it seriously exceeded her expectations, and the thieves knew that Moonlight City had no money and had entrenched Yonghe Square for three years, which made her even more so. I suspect that there is something tricky in it.

It was getting late at this time, Su Yun didn't want to attract attention too early, and after casually asking Gou Zong a few questions about Moonlight City, she rushed into the city before closing the city gate.

……

The desolation on the outskirts of the city has shocked Su Yun, and the dilapidation inside the city is even more serious than expected.

After searching for a long time, Su Yun finally found a normal-looking inn among a group of low loess embryonic rooms. When she walked in, the shopkeeper with missing teeth was dozing off, and there was a thin layer of dust on the old wooden table.

"I want to stay in the hotel, is there any room?"

"Yes, yes, all the rooms in the store are empty, no one!" The shopkeeper raised his head and said happily.

Su Yun then asked the shopkeeper to lead the way and lead her upstairs to look at the room.
