Chapter 348 Dilemma

"The life of a mercenary is super cool. There are jobs to do every day. Overtime is still overtime. Not only do you get overtime pay, but you also get all kinds of surprises and spoils at any time. It's a little bit when you are bought by the employer. Aggrieved."

Chatting is daily life, killing is work, the smiling Miss Su Zhizhu reveals danger from beginning to end.

It's still the same small room, but it's not a familiar person. "Fighter" was sent to the gymnasium. Before she and her sisters' life points were completely used up, they probably didn't want to see her outside.

"The opponent is...too strong, and sometimes...too weak."

The only thing that bothers her is the top-notch training facilities, but there is no suitable opponent for sparring.

The few opponents who couldn't see their faces clearly were all weak, and they won too easily. Even the super regular buildings that could be revived repeatedly would not be able to improve the effect of life-and-death battles.

Then, a woman ended up with a spirit body, but she deliberately made the bodies of both parties at the same level.

"It can't be too strong."

As a result, Ba Manzhen enjoyed an incredible losing streak.

And this reality also made Su Zhizhu realize that there was a big boss behind the "trading place", and restrained some dangerous thoughts.

Now, she was invited by the "Peace Dove" to chat, and she didn't refuse.

These days, the duo expressed their sincerity with practical actions. They did not take on the task of confronting the special service team. On the contrary, they even helped some small favors.

The atmosphere of this contact was much more relaxed.

Lu Ping'an is not in a hurry, he is more simply chatting. He has long wanted to know about the situation in other areas, those so-called "bigger stages".

"Actually, it's all the same. The official power in the big cities is stronger, but the power of the church of the gods and the power of the evil gods are also stronger. If there is any obvious difference, there are more opportunities, higher dangers, and more outsiders. .”

"Outlander?"

"Well, generally speaking, foreigners tend to gather in big cities, and there are only a few in the middle and lower cities. The same is true for outsiders. I have seen a twelve-pillar family race in Nanci before. It is really powerful. That individual looks like a fifth or sixth order."

Chatting was originally a process of exchanging information, what Su Zhizhu brought out was just some information that would be known sooner or later after going out, but Lu Pingan was already very satisfied.

There is actually no difference between the big city and the ancient city outside, and they have also suffered from the double pressure of the inside and outside, but the biggest difference from the small city is the contact with many foreign races and foreign domains.

In a sense, that is the main battlefield of "pollution". The administration and law enforcement of big cities must face the pressure of foreigners, and powerful forces among them can even directly put pressure on the local government.

In front of those powerful alien races, the power of the Church of the Gods on Earth has become brothers on the same boat with the local officials.

Lu Pingan rubbed his eyebrows, the situation was much worse than expected.

In Su Zhizhu's mouth, the rural place of "Ancient City" has even become a paradise. In their eyes, the recent crackdowns and beatings are nothing more than trivial troubles.

"They can't stop. In this world, being weak is the original sin. Those companies and churches will spare no effort to obtain power, resources, and technology. Whoever tries to stop them will forcefully press them."

"The security forces in big cities are indeed stronger and more abundant, but the criminals are also more and stronger, especially the extraterritorial incidents, which are very troublesome to deal with. Our favorite is the task of 'obliterating alien races', and there are so many of them. .”

In the continuous area, the main conflict and the secondary conflict are completely different. The seemingly harsh law and order and civil strife environment in the ancient city is like a pure land in front of the overall situation.

"Strength is the basis of survival. Before a catastrophe occurs, if you become a rule-level powerhouse, at least you can save your life. If you become a real tenth-level powerhouse, then you can advance or retreat, and you can also move The Kingdom of God takes away your relatives and friends.”

A secret that no one knows in the ancient city, but in the world Su Zhizhu lives in, it is a secret that does not need to be hidden.

"...To be honest, it's pretty bad. Now there are 31 states and counties in the Eastern Kingdom, and actually eleven of them have become de facto autonomous. The rest have also become de facto semi-independent. Something happened to you If you go to ask for help, the day lily will be cold when people from other states come."

"Wanted? We are not afraid. The wanted in your ancient city may not go to the prefecture or county. Even if there is a higher-level wanted warrant, the executor will not take it seriously. Even if a catastrophe is caused, just change the prefecture or county." gone."

Lu Pingan didn't dare to think about these things before.

But judging from the feedback information, it seems to be true.

The armed forces are limited, and it is very difficult for each family to protect itself. The states and counties naturally strive to strengthen their armed forces in order to protect themselves, using various legal and illegal means, and have long since formed their own system.

It is still a country in name, but since the 50-year "big call", the central government's control over the localities has become worse and worse. The pressure they themselves have to face also makes them unable to think too much.

"Army? They are in some threatening areas, such as a secret place that has become an exotic opening, and they need legions and troops to guard them. I remember that there are two around the ancient city, and the pressure is quite high. Your juniors and seniors in the ancient city, it seems They were all drawn."

As the "resurrection of spiritual energy" proceeds, all regions are facing increasing pressure. The social order has not yet collapsed, and the states, counties, and cities are already sweeping the snow.

It can only be regarded as a routine operation for the Ancient City Bureau of Abnormalities to intercept "rule-level taboo items". Everyone is like little beasts before the flood, spending every day in anxiety and uneasiness, trying to capture everything that can be caught in their hands.

Will the flood come? Is it five years, ten years, or a lifetime? No one can tell, but there is nothing wrong with preparing more food, building more boats, and recruiting more people.

"Just this year, there are six known masters who have succeeded in ascension to the gods. Of course, there are at least double-digit failures. Many people are eager to find a boat, which also makes the power of the church of the gods stronger. They tend to be orderly. , There is nothing wrong with law and order, but it is best to find a boat ticket first to ensure the safety of the back road."

Su Zhizhu's frankness made Lu Pingan feel a lot.

As a second-tier and third-tier city, the impact on the ancient city is actually relatively small, and it also makes many places more inclined to the "old era". In other areas of the continent, drastic changes are more obvious, and crises and opportunities exist at the same time.

A large ship. Even a large ship propped up by a god is extremely limited. It is extremely rare for the people who put the kingdom of God on the earth into a city.

So, can the central part of the Eastern Kingdom provide several such cities to meet the needs of countless cities and countless people across the country?

If it cannot be satisfied, it seems natural that each locality will find its own way

"Disasters may not be the biggest problem, and even the approaching disaster itself is not a problem. The reality of 'disaster will happen' that no one knows is the root of people's instability."

The gods are thinking about their own small world, thinking about running away in case something happens.

Believers think about hugging their thighs, thinking about "being loyal" and getting a boat ticket for themselves and their families.

The promises and benefits given by foreign races and gods are visible to the naked eye, but the official propaganda is superficial. It is no wonder that so many people rush to buy X07 potion, even if they risk half the possibility of death, they want to find a way out for themselves.

At this moment, Lu Ping'an has figured out the last piece of the puzzle and understood a lot of things.

Why is the big cat so radical, from a "friendly foreign friend" to a malicious cult leader in just a few decades, why does it plan to succeed at all costs.

Why do "gangsters" and "supernatural criminals" emerge in endlessly? When the "truth of the world" is so desperate, the collapse of the mind and even morality is just a thin line.

Inexplicably, Lu Pingan has more admiration for some people.

Under such a big situation, it is quite powerful to recognize the so-called "truth" and "truth", and still stick to your heart, and fight for the social order that is doomed to collapse in the eyes of others, at least

".I can't do it. I've never been an idealist. So, can I do something?"

"Become stronger. There is also ascending to the gods. If ascending to the gods is successful within 50 years, with our courtyard, we can advance or retreat. No matter how bad the situation is, a god of life should not have any difficulty in keeping this city. .” At this time, the big cat offered a suggestion.
