Chapter 139 Golden City
After a long time, everyone finally entered the Hourglass City.
It is more appropriate to call the Hourglass City a medium-to-large gathering place than a city.
The Hourglass City is surrounded by broken walls and ruins. There are many stone houses inside these weathered stone walls, which are very lively.
This place is like a transit station in the desert.
There is a water source in the city, and a small number of food crops can survive around it.
The people in the Hourglass City are like Salyo and others, wrapped up tightly, with only two eyes exposed to the air.
"Wait a minute!"
The outline of the city appeared in front of everyone, but Xu Yingying stopped everyone.
Zhang Chen said to Salyo beside him: "Don't worry about them, let's go."
Salyo nodded, and he also wanted to enter the city early to rest.
And the cooperation with Zhang Chen was over, no matter what happened next, it had nothing to do with him.
Xu Yingying watched Zhang Chen leave without saying a word, but snorted instead.
Wang Yu asked: "What's wrong? The city is just ahead. Let's go in to hide from the sun. It's too dry and hot here."
"Enter in batches. No more than ten people can enter at a time. Everyone spread out and enter the city from all directions!"
"Why is that?"
Wang Yu was puzzled and said: "Wouldn't it be better if we went in together?"
"Brother Wang Yu, you are so stupid!"
"With so many of us, we will be too conspicuous. Someone with ulterior motives will remember us immediately."
"Assuming that the people of Australia have entered the Hourglass City, then if we enter together, won't we become their living targets!?"
"So we must enter in batches, At most three or five people live together, everyone has to disperse! "
"It's a pity that the chat channel and regional channel here are blocked, otherwise it would be more convenient to communicate. "
"Zhang Chen must have discovered this, so he didn't wait for us. "
"And he followed the camel team into the hourglass city, which can be said to have minimized the risk of being exposed. "
"No one knows him, and even we don't know what he is going to do next, where he lives, and he hides himself well!"
"Anyway, after entering the city, everyone will act according to their own camera!"
Xu Yingying said loudly to everyone.
Then let Wang Yu choose two people to follow them.
"Chang Hao, Xiao Fan, you two follow me."
Chang Hao and Xiao Fan walked out of the team, and after Zhang Chen entered the city, the four people also entered the city.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and then gradually entered the city.
Hundreds of people dispersed, entered the city in batches and at different times, so that they would not attract a lot of attention.
After everyone entered the city, there was no ripple.
Zhang Chen followed the camel team and did not leave. Saljo asked curiously: "Brother Zhang Chen, what else do you want?"
"Of course, I hope you can help me buy a few sets of the same clothes and book a hotel for me."
The world view of the Yellow Sand Plane is roughly the same as the timeline of the first industrial revolution on Earth.
Industry has just developed rapidly, with inventions such as steam engines and cars. Of course, these things are not available in such a barren hourglass city.
But there are also various small power equipment, of course, only the best hotels have these things.
Saljo nodded and said: "Okay, I'll prepare it for you right away, Zhang Chen, wait a moment."
Zhang Chen nodded and followed the camel team to rest. After a while, Saljo came back with clothes.
"I think your figure is similar to mine. Try it. If it doesn't work, I'll change it."
Zhang Chen took off his clothes, and the Yangyan battle suit lined with the inner lining outlined Zhang Chen's sturdy body perfectly.
Even Saljo and others looked at his sturdy body.
The clothes he was wearing were already covered with gravel, and it was just right to change into the clothes Saljo prepared for him.
"No need to change, it fits perfectly."
Saljo praised: "Brother Zhang Chen, you have a great figure. I think any woman will fall in love with you when she sees your figure."
Zhang Chen laughed and said: "Have you booked the hotel I want?"
Saljo handed the key to Zhang Chen and continued: "The best hotel here, but I only paid for one day."
"By the way, if you want to find out the news of the Golden City, then Little John's Tavern should be a good choice."
Saljo bowed slightly and said: "Brother Zhang Chen, shall we say goodbye here?"
Zhang Chen smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your time."
"There is one more thing I want to ask you. No matter what anyone says next, you can't mention what happened today. Do you understand?"
Saljo said seriously: "I understand. Although the Hourglass City is far away from the management of the country, I think you don't want your actions to be targeted by the country!?"
Zhang Chen was speechless. It seemed that Saljo misunderstood, but it didn't matter, as long as he didn't say that he had seen him today.
"Well, that's it. If I have a chance to dig up gold, I might be able to give you a lot more."
"That's not necessary."
Saljo knew very well what he could and couldn't get involved in. Compared with gold, his life was more important.
"We're leaving. See you again if we're lucky."
Saljo left with the camel team and told Zhang Chen some information about the Hourglass City.
Zhang Chen followed what Saljo said and came to the largest hotel in the Hourglass City, the Wiki Hotel.
"Here is my key. I'm staying for seven days. Have you just paid for one day?"
The front desk of the hotel was a middle-aged woman. She nodded and said, "I've registered."
Zhang Chen took out a gold grain and threw it to the middle-aged woman, saying, "I think this should be enough. Please change the rest into money for me."
The middle-aged woman was also stunned by Zhang Chen's generosity. She immediately picked up the gold grain carefully and confirmed it several times before handing the remaining money to Zhang Chen.
Then she politely took Zhang Chen to his room and told her that if she had anything, she could tell her.
Zhang Chen nodded and said that he should not be disturbed if there was nothing to do.
The room was very simple. Of course, Zhang Chen was not staying in the hotel. He did not have any greetings in his hand. After looking at the room, he found someone to ask about the location of Little John's tavern and went there.
Although it was daytime, Little John's tavern was still crowded with people. Many people drank here and boasted to kill time.
Zhang Chen was dressed the same as this group of people. He did not feel awkward after entering the tavern.
Sitting at the bar counter and ordering a glass of wine, Zhang Chen sat quietly and listened to the conversation of the crowd.
"Have you heard about it? The Golden City!"
"Of course I heard about it, md, I heard it's full of gold!"
"When should we find a way to get some gold!"
"It's dangerous there too, I heard it's a tomb cursed by the Pharaoh."
"So what? Didn't some guys escape?"
As expected, most of what Zhang Chen heard was about the Golden City. It seems that the popularity of the Golden City has reached a point where everyone knows it!
