Ling Cage: Twelve Talismans? I have everything I need.

Chapter 35 Return
An invisible force enveloped Red Envoy and Dawn, the wind whistled in their ears, and the ground rushed past their feet.

Being carried by Yang Chen was already beyond imagination.

But what made their hearts race and almost made them forget to breathe was the gradually clearing view below.

At first glance, what came into view was a green area surrounded by huge mountains, which seemed out of place in the wasteland.

The green on that patch of ground looked so glaringly different from the wasteland in the distance.

“That…that is…” Dawn’s voice was dry, barely able to utter a complete syllable.

He instinctively gripped Hong Kou's hand tightly.

Hong Kou also held her breath, her eyes fixed on the scene below; the sight before her was simply too unbelievable.

As the altitude decreases and you pass through the opening, the details become clearer.

Terraced fields! Layer upon layer, like giant green staircases.

Terraced fields cover the sunny hillsides. Villagers dressed in coarse cloth are working in the fields.

What left them even more blank was...

The village is built against the mountain, and the houses are mostly made of steel and wood, some covered with vines and some painted with new colors.

Although simple, it is full of life.

Couplets are hung in front of every household's door, and on the windowsills, you can even see plants with small flowers growing in discarded containers.

She had imagined countless times where the survivors on the ground might be hiding.

A dark cave or an abandoned bunker.

I absolutely cannot imagine what this scene is like!
Their flight speed slowed, and they landed smoothly on a flat stone-paved road at the entrance of the village.

The moment their feet touched the ground, Hong Kou and Po Xiao were still in a daze.

Yang Chen turned around and looked at the two people who were standing there in a daze: "We've arrived."

Seeing that the two did not react, Yang Chen took two steps forward and waved in front of them.

"We've arrived," Yang Chen announced loudly.

Both Hong Kou and Po Xiao were taken aback, and then they realized what was happening.

"Oh, sorry, I was daydreaming."

"Welcome to Dragonbone Village," Yang Chen nodded and continued.

"Don't just stand there, let me take you to register first. It's almost lunchtime anyway, so it's on the way."

After saying that, Yang Chen turned and walked forward.

Hong Kou and Po Xiao exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Along the way, the two looked around.

In the distance, under a spacious shed, several elderly people with white hair were sitting together.

In front of them was a square table with mahjong tiles on it. An old man slowly drew and played the tiles, while the other smoked an old pipe.

He looked as relaxed as if he were in a park in the old world, with an old lady next to him slowly picking vegetables, occasionally glancing up at the card game and chiming in with a word or two.

This is completely different from what I imagined. If this counts as 'survival', then what is the lighthouse?
This is clearly a living, breathing, and fully functional small city.

The two were so engrossed in watching that they found themselves frozen in place again.

"you."

Seeing the two of them still stunned, Yang Chen offered a reminder.

Hong Kou snapped back to reality and subconsciously followed, her steps still a little unsteady.

Dawn quickly followed, but her eyes still couldn't help looking around, filled with novelty and disbelief.

Their hands, which had been clasped together unconsciously since the moment they landed, were now clasped tightly together again.

Feeling the warmth from my palm confirmed that this was not a dream.

When villagers passing by saw Yang Chen, they all greeted him with smiles: "Good morning, Boss Yang."

"Hey, Mr. Yang, another new face in the village?" the villagers said casually.

When his gaze fell on Red Collar and Dawn, it was with a hint of curiosity, but more so with a friendly scrutiny.

Hong Kou forced herself to straighten her back, trying to maintain a calm demeanor. She looked at the villagers who were casting curious glances at them, at the calm, even smiling, expressions on their faces, and at the faint shouts coming from the training ground in the distance.

free.

This is the freedom she longed for.

Just then, a clear and lively female voice came from afar:

"Brother Yang!" Fang Yuan skipped over like a deer, curiously looking at Hong Kou and Po Xiao: "Huh? Who are those two?"

"The people of the lighthouse," Yang Chen replied simply.

"Oh~ the person on the pot lid." Fang Yuan nodded.

large pot lid
Red Fist and Dawn exchanged glances, feeling a little strange about the title.

"Where are you going? To find that kid Youfeng?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.

He had just seen the property owner standing in front of the 'Life's Most Adorned' store.

Fang Yuan immediately denied it, but her face turned a little red: "No, no, I just happened to be passing by."

"I'm leaving now, Brother Yang!" Fang Yuan immediately ran off.

Yang Chen smiled as he watched Fang Yuan's retreating figure, and continued leading Hong Kou and Po Xiao forward.

Further ahead, the view becomes a bit crowded.

The surrounding shops sell all sorts of old-world toys and some strange and unusual items.

The two looked toward a slightly spacious room, from which came crackling sounds and the voices of men and children.

"Do you even know what an infinite combo is?! Damn it!"

"I refuse to accept this! Let's play another round!"

Hong Kou asked curiously, "What's in there?"

Yang Chen turned his head and looked in the direction Hong Kou was looking: "Oh, this is an arcade."

"You can come over and have fun if you're ever bored."

Arcade. They had never even heard of that word before at the Lighthouse.

"This way." Yang Chen's voice pulled them back from their thoughts, and he turned into a relatively quiet street.

Yang Chen led the two to the end of the street.

Population Management Department.

Hong Kou and Po Xiao looked up at the plaque above.

This looks like the registration area.

Yang Chen pushed open the door and went inside. There was only an old man lying on a recliner in the room, with a book covering his face. He looked like he was asleep.

dong dong dong.

Yang Chen gently tapped the table.

The old man dazedly removed the book from his face.

"Boss Yang, what brings you here?" The old man stood up and looked at the two people behind Yang Chen with a puzzled expression.

"Unfamiliar faces, are they from out of town?"

Yang Chen nodded: "Okay, Xiao Chen, please register."

Hong Kou and Po Xiao were puzzled again, as the young man in front of them was clearly much younger than the old man.

Why is it called that?
"okay."

The old man nodded in agreement, then walked to the computer and sat down. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Name, age, where you were before, and what skills you have?"

Hong Kou and Po Xiao answered the old man's questions one by one, but they struggled with what skills they possessed.

"Does finding supplies count? And what about fighting the Devouring Beasts?" Hong Kou added.

The old man glanced at the two of them again, but didn't say anything. He just silently entered information into the computer.

He came from a big pot lid; he can drive and shoot.
