Life Dungeon Game

After explaining everything, He Ao packed his things and disappeared into the vast mountains and forests with Penny.

-

As the campsite receded into the distance, it gradually disappeared into the shadows of the trees.

Penny started chattering away, asking Heo all sorts of questions about the city.

For example, how many people actually live in the city? Do the people in the city hunt alien beasts? Are there many superhumans in the city? Does everyone in the city have prosthetic limbs?

For a moment, He Ao even thought that her ability was not that of an 'athlete' but that of a 'sharer'.

Even so, He Ao still answered her questions in a disjointed manner.

Ronald dotes on this orphaned girl, perhaps because he sees a reflection of his younger self in her. So even though Penny often asks many irrelevant questions, he usually answers them.

The sun was already setting when the two set off, and it was nearing evening. By the time they arrived outside the city of Dawn, it was already late at night.

The wilderness under the cover of night is much more dangerous, so the two of them walked rather slowly.

However, Ronald had a wealth of experience in his memory, and Heo chose the safest route, so the two did not encounter any particularly strong beasts and arrived safely on the outskirts of Dawn City.

The access roads to Chenxi City are open day and night.

Countless busy off-road trucks came and went through the wide city gate.

These logistics channels, like beating blood vessels, supply the nutrients needed by this vast metropolis.

The gate for pedestrians and the gate for trucks are not located together.

He led Penny around the road used by trucks and onto another side road.

Some small vehicles were parked on this path.

Few people hike through the wilderness, so Dawn City only has gates for trucks and small vehicles.

Of course, pedestrians can also enter Dawn City through the doors for small vehicles.

This was the first time He Ao had seen the high wall surrounding the city from outside the city.

Looking up from below, the high wall seems to stretch endlessly, connecting the sky and the earth, becoming an integral part of the night.

From a distance, it looks as if the stars are hanging down from the high wall.

"Could this really have been built by humans...?"

Penny was completely stunned by the high wall. "This is simply a miracle."

"Ah."

He Ao withdrew his gaze from the magnificent high wall, raised his hand, and gestured to Penny with the smart bracelet on his wrist.

Penny also has the same bracelet.

Once you get here, the bracelet is already connected to the Dawn City network.

Although the wilderness wanderers cannot connect to the internet, they have quite a few smart devices. Back when Ronald's father was around, the camp even had a local area network (LAN) that the wanderers and even the merchants staying there could use to play online multiplayer games.

However, with the death of Ronaldo's father, the trading area shrank, and the camp ran out of funds, so these facilities gradually stopped being maintained.

However, the young people in the camp can still use the smart bracelet effectively.

"Chief, we can connect to the internet here?!"

Penny looked at He Ao with some surprise, and her exclamation even attracted the attention of some people around her.

Since getting the smart bracelet, Penny's bracelet has never been connected to the internet. She had even gotten used to the signal indicator on the bracelet being a 'red cross', but when the red cross disappeared and turned into a signal bar, she was still incredibly surprised.

"Please fill out this form."

He gestured for Penny to raise her bracelet.

Penny raised her bracelet, still confused. The instant she did so, a plain white pop-up notification appeared.

Good evening, welcome to Dawn City. For your safety and the safety of others, those entering Dawn City from outside the city must complete the "Dawn City Entry Application Form".

[Fill in now][Fill in later]

Chapter 285 The real challenge is never entering the city. (Long chapter, please add to your favorites)

Please enter your passport number.

Please fill in the city where your passport was issued.

A passport is a legal federal identification document, and theoretically, every federal citizen should have one.

However, passports are generally not considered valid documents for verifying citizenship.

The reason is simple: the passports issued by the various fortified cities in the Federation are completely independent, and most cities are unwilling to share this population data with the federal central government and other cities.

Therefore, a passport from a certain city can only be tested in that city.

Does the federal government have any identification documents that can verify a person's identity throughout the entire federal government?

some.

That's the federal social security card.

The Social Security Group is a private social insurance group established under the guidance of the federal central government and jointly funded by major financial groups.

Its operations cover every city in the federal government.

Almost every federal citizen has a unique nine-digit Social Security number to identify themselves.

This social security number will be entered into the social security group's credit system.

In this credit system, the accumulated credit history of the social security number holder will be identified as their credit score.

Major financial institutions recognize this credit rating and use it as an important indicator for issuing loans and benefits.

Many companies also consider this credit rating as an important part of employee background checks when recruiting.

In the federal government, Social Security cards are very important.

He Ao scrolled down, and the next blank was...

Please enter your social security card number.

"Chief, what are this passport and social security card number? I don't have either of them."

Penny leaned her head over.

“Scroll down,” He Ao calmly flipped through the form pages, “and selected ‘Wilderness Wanderer’.”

"Oh! Okay!"

Penny nodded, continued flipping through the forms, and then gently selected an option. "Hey, there are so many forms now."

"Chief, he asked us what we're going to the city for? To study, to travel, to trade..."

"Choose a trip."

"Okay! He asked me for my spouse's name..."

Choose "No spouse"

"Um, do you have any relatives in the city?"

"Choose none".

"Ask us how long we plan to stay in Dawn City."

Choose within seven days.

······

The entry application form wasn't complicated, but Penny asked about almost every question, and it took them half an hour to fill it out.

Penny's loud shouting also attracted the attention of some people.

However, most of the people entering the city here are wilderness hunters or small caravans traveling in the wilderness. Everyone has dealt with wilderness wanderers before, so they are not surprised by the identities of He and Ao.

Unlike large trucks which have free passage, small vehicles are subject to much stricter inspections at this gate.

He Ao waited in line for about half an hour before it was their turn for security check.

Since they came without bringing anything and without a car, the security check was much simpler.

They first passed through a gate-shaped detector.

This detector can detect whether someone is carrying metal weapons and contraband, and it can also check for parasitic life forms.

It attaches to a person's body.

Firearms and other firearms that are not registered or filed are not allowed to be brought into the city, while cold weapons such as scimitars are not included.

The passageway was lined with fully armed city guards on both sides, while a lifelike intelligent robot guided He and Ao's movements.

After passing through the gate-shaped security scanner, you'll find yourself in a series of small, silver rooms.

He Ao chose a room and went inside.

There was only one medical robot in the room responsible for collecting blood samples.

The entire room was surrounded by a dense array of cameras to ensure that no one cheated during the blood sample collection.

He Ao walked up to the medical robot and reached out his hand.

The robot moved quickly, completing the sampling in a few tens of seconds, and signaled He Ao to leave.

The blood and skin cells collected here will be sent to the city defense forces' life analyzer to analyze whether they belong to humans and whether they are alive.

To prevent strange beasts from infiltrating the city.

After leaving the sampling room, the next door leads to the observation room, where He Ao and Penny will need to wait for an hour for the analysis results.

There were more than just the two of them in the observation room; many others who had been ahead of them in line were also waiting there.

Just as He Ao sat down, a thin man with dark skin walked over.

This man looks like a typical wilderness hunter.
