Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 7: Ways to Enter the City

Zhang Kun really deserves the 30% black crystals that everyone gave him.

On the way back, he chose a small road.

Although it was a bit difficult to walk, I didn't meet anyone.

In the wilderness, the ruins of tall buildings stood tall. The strong wind blew, raising smoke and dust, and carried some weeds swaying.

Su Ding squinted his eyes and looked at the dilapidated scene, then let out a breath.

I have been here for a while, and now it is the first time I see this wilderness in the sun.

The temperature difference between day and night in the wilderness is so great, and the sunshine hours are reduced, that the plants here have almost disappeared.

I don’t know what happened in the so-called catastrophe that could turn a city into this.

Su Ding has already confirmed that this is definitely not Earth.

Because the language and writing he is using now are not any that he is familiar with.

"What are you looking at?" the monkey asked Su Dingdao.

Hearing the monkey's question, Su Ding shook his head. Feeling a little hot, he took off his worn-out clothes, tied them around his waist, and said, "Nothing."

Then he paused and said, "What is life like in the city?"

He looked ahead and thought of his previous life.

From what I heard from others, the city is almost like heaven.

No need to worry about the invasion of wilderness monsters, no need to worry about food and water shortages.

This kind of life is very similar to my previous life.

"What? Do you still want to enter the city?" Xiong Qian, who was standing aside, couldn't help but sarcastically remarked when she heard Su Ding's words.

"Why not?" Monkey glared at Xiong Qian.

"Haha, it's not that easy to enter the city. Over the years, I haven't heard of anyone entering the city from several nearby camps." Xiong Qian snorted.

"Actually, there was one recently, but you didn't know about it." Zhang Kun suddenly said.

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but look over.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Kun said, "This isn't a secret. Almost everyone who comes here to scavenge knows about it. He was a scavenger from the railway camp. He dug up a rare talisman stone in the wilderness and then found a way to give it to a family in the city. After the family received the talisman stone, they brought him into the city."

"What is a rare rune stone?" asked the monkey.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Zhang Kun explained, "Talisman Stone is a type of mineral that is even rarer than Black Crystal. And among all Talisman Stones, rare Talisman Stones are one in a hundred."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "A rune stone requires about a hundred kilograms of black crystals, and a rare rune stone requires over a thousand kilograms of black crystals."

Hearing his words, everyone's pupils shrank.

"This... so many black crystals..." Xiong Qian swallowed.

Su Ding's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Zhang Kun and asked, "Brother Zhang, what is the use of this talisman stone, and why is it so expensive?"

The others also looked at Zhang Kun.

Zhang Kun said: "You should remember that the camp collects a sum of black crystals every month, called Fujin. Most of this Fujin is used to buy Fushi.

This runestone will be placed in the center of the camp. It is because of this runestone that monsters coming to the camp will become rare."

"There's a talisman stone in the center of the camp?" Xu Hu's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Zhang Kun nodded, then shook his head and said, "But you don't have to expect too much from the rune stones in our camp. They're basically all junk. Even with the little black crystal we paid, we can't buy any good rune stones.

They're basically rune stones that someone else has used for a long time and no longer wants. They only have the effect of making monsters disgusted."

At this point, he paused several times and said, "I heard that a good rune stone can even be used as a weapon to attack monsters, or even kill them."

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard his words. In their impression, monsters were almost indestructible. This was the first time they heard of something that could attack monsters.

Of course, this is normal.

Those who know this kind of news will basically keep it secret. Who would tell others about this kind of news and create more competitors?

"Then how do we get this talisman stone?" Xiong Qian couldn't help but ask.

"Get this kind of talisman stone?" Zhang Kun couldn't help but look at the other party after hearing Xiong Qian's words.

Do you want to run before you learn to walk?
The other party is so ambitious but lacks the ability to achieve his goals. If he continues to be so greedy, he will probably see the other party's corpse in a few years.

"This kind of talisman stone is a subsidiary mineral of black crystal. You may not be able to find one even if you pile up tens of thousands of black crystals. You don't have to think about it." Zhang Kun shook his head and said.

Having said that, he couldn't help but glance at Su Ding.

If there was anyone here who could get the talisman stone, he thought it must be Su Ding.

"Ah, if ordinary rune stones are so difficult to obtain, then rare rune stones must be even more difficult. I don't know how that person could be so lucky to have obtained a rare rune stone and even entered the city." Xu Hu said sourly.

"Actually, you don't need rare rune stones to enter the city." Zhang Kun's interest was also aroused. "There are several ways to enter the city. The most expensive way is to obtain rare rune stones or other rare materials and present them to the important people.

Others include smuggling, special recruitment of group talents and buying citizenship.

Smuggling has the lowest cost but the highest risk. Once discovered, you will die.

As for special talent recruitment, this is similar to the previous one where you offer treasures to large families or large corporate groups. However, the treasure is yourselves. If you have special talents, you can give it a try.

Having said this, he paused and said, "Nowadays, for those of us outside the city or in the wilderness, the safest way to enter the city is to buy a household registration in the city.

However, to enter the city, you need a thousand kilograms of black crystal."

"A thousand kilograms of black crystal?" Xu Hu's face turned pale upon hearing this. "How is it possible to earn so much black crystal?"

He doesn't even gain ten pounds a day. If he doesn't eat or drink, it will take more than a hundred days for him to gain a thousand pounds.

And this is the case when we haven't encountered a black beast for more than a hundred days.

"Who knows? Maybe some good luck will come and we'll make a fortune." Zhang Kun shook his head and said.

Then he hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is another way to enter the city."

"What method?" Xiong Qian put it down quickly.

"Become an awakener." Zhang Kun paused and said.

"Awakened?" Xu Hu immediately shook his head upon hearing this. "I heard that those who become Awakened will become crazy and either be eliminated by the company's army or be taken into the city as slaves..."

"Awakener..." Su Ding's expression paused slightly when he heard this word.

He had heard of this word.

But this word is not a good word.

It is associated with death and madness, and is basically no different from the mental illness in the previous life.

But he was slightly hesitant.

If becoming an awakened one will lead to madness or even death, then why does the city need awakened people?

Could it be that it is really used for experiments?
Su Ding shook his head in his heart, he felt that there was a way.

Using the Prospector entry increases the chances of finding a Runestone.

Just as Su Ding was thinking about this, he suddenly smelled a fishy smell of rust.

He stopped immediately.
