Chapter 596: Just a "Slight Understanding" Of some of the Gods' Methods

Satellite city Shawu, within the towering city walls, this city is living peacefully.

Although it is called a satellite city, the scale of Shawu is still considerable. With a population of more than 500,000, it can be self-sufficient.

Of course, it is still far behind the legendary main city of Sand City. Living here requires looking at the wind and sand above your head every day, and you can barely survive.

I heard that the residents of the main city live in an oasis, where fruits and vegetables are supplied every day. The scenery there is not only picturesque, but it is not affected by wind, sand and evil domes, and you can see the sun hanging high above your head every day.

The biggest goal in life for the residents of Sha5 is to enter the main city and obtain citizen qualifications. Of course, if this is not possible, it would be great to be able to enter Sha2sha1, which is closer to the main city.

The entire Shawu was built by people sent by the Sand City back then. Not only did the mysterious power prevent the wind and sand from entering the city, but there are also many fertile farmlands in the city. It is said that some kind of magical power also transformed the original desert land.

Sand City and Satellite City are both closed to the outside world. People here are accustomed to only moving within the city, and their daily lives basically remain unchanged.

However, this day, which was supposed to be like any other, changed, and a harsh warning sounded in the city.

Many people looked up in surprise, and many people even put down their work and walked towards the city defense square - Sha Wu's city defense army complied with the "Acropolis System", and half of the city defense army trained and patrolled, and the other half worked in farming. Exchange at a fixed time, and when the signal is given, they will all assemble and prepare for battle.

Looking at the city defense troops who put down their work and rushed to the gathering place, many people looked envious.

In Sand 5, the city defense force is a position that attracts the attention of many people. Food and accommodation are included during training, and contribution points that can enter Sand City are regularly distributed. There is no need to pay taxes when working in agriculture. If you choose to hand over excess resources, you can also compare Turn in normally and get half the contribution points.

As for the danger from the city defense army, the residents of Shawu would only shake their heads and smile.

Who doesn't know that the satellite city of Shawu is located in the Gray Sea, surrounded by wind and sand. I heard that there is a powerful country outside called the Empire. The empire has sent troops many times, and the most tragic one was just on the city wall of Shawu. .

That army, which amounted to less than half the population of Shawu City, couldn't even hold on to camp in the wind and sand. Didn't they leave a large number of corpses and armor and flee in despair in the end? The losses of the Shawu City Defense Force were almost negligible, and those unfortunate casualties earned objective contribution points and subsidies for their families.

Who wouldn’t want to do such a good job?

The harsh signals in the city did not panic the residents. They just looked at the city defense troops rushing to the square and talked with some envy.

"The life of the city defense army is so good..."

"Isn't that right? Half of the time throughout the year is training, and the rest of the time can be pocketed by doing some work. Their chances of entering the Sand City are much higher than ours."

"Hey, tell me, what is the purpose of this signal?"

"What could it be? There may be some crazy beasts operating nearby, or there may be strange phenomena in the Gray Sea itself, and someone needs to be on guard - it's just that the whole city is recruiting troops, and it seems to be quite large."

"What's the use of being large? Even if we really can't solve it, won't everything be fine if we retreat to the city? Let me tell you, this is a good opportunity to earn contribution points."

"Good opportunity?"

"No, my neighbor's distant cousin, the one named Xiao Ker, went crazy last month. This kid was unlucky and had his leg eaten. As a result, the government gave him a prosthetic leg and rewarded him with contribution points. Now The whole family has moved to Shasi.”

Hearing this person say this, the people around him all showed envy. It is such a good deal to be able to exchange so many things with one leg...

The residents chatted leisurely, and there was no urgent look on the faces of the gathered city defense troops.

The towering city walls and natural geographical environment are destined to make Shawu an unbreakable city. With so many people gathered this time, there must be some large-scale crazy beast or a large-scale gray sea phenomenon.

That's not a big deal, just follow the big troops and retreat to the city. No one can attack anyway.

The city defense troops were assembled, and after waiting for a moment, the city lord in regular clothes came out.

Seeing that the city lord had not put on his armor, the city defenders were no longer nervous, so it was not a big problem.

The city lord of Shawu is a brown-haired man with a beard. He is tall, strong, and hairy. From a distance, he looks like a brown bear. Many people in the city secretly call him the brown bear city lord. It just so happens that his name is Zong Xiong.

Zong Xiong was uncharacteristically silent, and after a while, his loud voice rose.

"The survey team in the city discovered a mineral vein. There was a group of crazy beasts near the mine. Everyone obeyed the order and went out of the city to clean up the crazy beasts."

So that's it... The city defense troops suddenly realized it and immediately responded in unison: "Yes!"

"The spies reported that the group of crazy beasts will release some kind of poisonous gas. In order to ensure the safety of life, everyone has taken the antidote in advance. This time, let's distribute the long-acting antidote collectively, so as to save another fool from taking a bottle." I won’t know how to drink if I panic.”

The crowd suddenly burst into joyful laughter.

The huge water tank was pushed up, and the city defense troops moved forward one after another, and they all took a sip.

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!

"Okay, everyone, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Zongxiong did not set off with the team. He just watched the city defense soldiers leave. When he returned to the room and was the only one left, a few drops of sweat slid down his forehead.

"Your Excellency, control me to give orders. Is there something in the water?" Zongxiong said with gritted teeth.

A leisurely voice sounded, and a man and a woman walked out of the shadow of the room.

"Control? Your Excellency, the city lord, I just gave you a choice. Do you want to save your life or give your soldiers something to drink?" The man showed a mean and shameless smile, "Obviously, you have made a choice."

The person who spoke was Sean!

When discussing with Bai Ye, Sean had his mind on the City of Sand. However, given that there was basically no information about the City of Sand, he decided to start with the satellite city of the City of Sand.

The wind and sand in the sky are the geographical features of the Gray Sea, and there are also mysterious forces affecting it. But for Sean, as long as he finds Sand Five, everything will be easy.

This time, Sean used the "dumbest" method, which was to follow the underground water veins. He and Bai Ye started from the underground water veins of the imperial capital and found the largest underground river in this territory.

Coincidentally, the Gray Sea was once the territory of Gao Yu, and Sean also knew a little about "the means of the gods".

Without much effort, they followed the water veins of the underground river and found Sha Wu above their heads.
