attack city

"Okay, let's go to your side."

Xiang Yang thought about it and decided to make the deal. Then he thought about it again and then sent a request for video communication.

Video communication between cities is different from internal video communication.

It only shows the upper bodies of both parties, with the same sky and city gate curtain as the background, and does not show any surrounding situations.

In other words, you can only confirm the city name on the city gate and the appearance and identity of the communicating party.

Therefore, everything in each other's control rooms will not be exposed.

Usually only cities with good relations will use this method to communicate. Currently, Xiang Yang has only communicated via video with Liulicheng and Anping City.

The reason why I made this request is out of curiosity.

The voice of the Blue Bird City Lord became more and more familiar to Xiang Yang, but he was still confused and couldn't remember who it was. He was 90% sure that the two parties knew each other.

In this case, video communication can improve trust even if the two parties do not know each other.

If you know each other, it will be easier to explain and your safety will be better guaranteed.

In a place like the wasteland, if we knew each other, who else could they be from? They were basically new humans from Terra.

It seemed to be very sudden on the side of Jade Bird City. The radio was silent for at least half a minute before the Lord of Jade Bird City agreed to the request for video communication.

A video box appeared in the corner of the big screen. Xiang Yang usually put this kind of video communication on the big screen in the control room.

You can divide many small sub-windows and arrange them anywhere on the big screen according to your own wishes, which is very convenient.

After the digital signal is unlocked, the division of sub-windows is faster and more numbers are supported.

The video frame flashed a few times, and the picture above became clear. What appeared was a woman with light makeup, and her actual age could not be seen.

But Xiang Yang knew that she must be in her thirties, because he did know her.

"Hello, Teacher He, I didn't expect to see you here." Xiang Yang smiled slightly and said, "I'm very happy that you are safe and sound."

The lord of Blue Bird City is He Qingqing, the deputy director of the orphanage where Xiang Yang lived in Terra.

Specifically, he is the temporary deputy director, who is also a teacher at the elementary school inside the orphanage. He should be here for internship, or to do social research while studying.

Because she is studying for a PhD and is said to have to write a thesis.

She has a relatively strong background and is not short of money. She may be the daughter or niece of the boss behind the largest funding agency for the orphanage.

I don't know the details, but she is more useful in talking in the orphanage.

When he was in the orphanage, Xiang Yang was adopted, and there were many families who wanted to adopt him.

When he was first adopted, his adoptive parents were very kind to him, but the nightmare came two years later when his adoptive parents became pregnant with twins.

Anyway, he seems to have become a burden to that family.

After the adoptive parents' child was born, he went through an extremely difficult time for more than a year. In the end, he escaped and returned to the orphanage.

Even though he looked skinny and had scars on his body that had been broken and healed, various troublesome matters such as school status, custody rights, etc. made the orphanage feel that he was a hot potato, and naturally they would not accept him again.

He Qingqing entered the orphanage after Xiang Yang was adopted, and Xiang Yang didn't know him at the time.

But a few days after Xiang Yanglai stayed in the orphanage, He Qingqing defied all opinions, kept him, and solved the problem of his adoptive parents. As for what means, he didn't know.

After that, he developed resistance to adoption and lived in the orphanage until he reached normal age and did not leave in accordance with the regulations.

"Ah, it turns out to be Xiao Yangyang, I just said, why does this voice sound a bit familiar?" He Qingqing seemed to have just recognized Xiang Yang now, and immediately said with a surprised and excited expression.

In the wasteland world, it is extremely rare to meet people you know from Terra.

Like Gu Mingcheng, strictly speaking, he is not an acquaintance from Terra, but an acquaintance in the wasteland world. It can only be said that they are all new humans from Terra.

The main reason why he met Gu Mingcheng was because of the route he took to leave the Novice Continent. Xiang Yang took almost the same route as he did in Gujiacheng in his previous life.

It is said to be accidental, but actually it also contains some kind of inevitability.

After all, when you enter the wasteland world, you are transported randomly, and it is extremely difficult to meet familiar people, so He Qingqing's excitement is understandable, and in fact, Xiang Yang is the same.

However, can this title be changed? Xiang Yang can't complain, we have grown up now.

"Let's go there now."

Xiang Yang said that Shenlong City had already moved towards the direction of Jade Bird City. Sure enough, after arriving at the destination, he found that Jade Bird City was hidden in a valley.

However, seeing Shenlong City approaching, Jade Bird City took off and stopped on a nearby cliff. The distance was certainly not twenty kilometers, but several kilometers away.

After all, the city is too big and there are terrain problems. It is impossible for them to be too close together. They are usually a little distance apart.

Jade Bird City is indeed on a county-level scale. Xiang Yang is a little surprised. There must not be many new human cities that can enter the county-level so quickly.

You must know that there are still many who have not entered the second stage.

In fact, as long as they reach the county level, they are already the best among the new human cities in Terra, and their number will definitely be very small.

Shenlong City was mainly an accident. Not only was the city powerful, but Xiang Yang was also a tall and reborn person. He had a way to quickly enter the second stage and had more experience in the wasteland.

"How many energy blocks are needed?" Seeing that Shenlong City was a county-level city, He Qingqing was not surprised.

She was also lucky and entered the main continent by accident, and was lucky enough to receive a large number of survivors from county-level cities.

The woman who reminded her before was the leader of that group of people, the former city lord. After her city was destroyed, she led a group of city residents to escape.

Then they became her guides. They have been following urban-level cities since entering the second stage, so they grew very quickly.

Overall, the main thing is to have a lucky aura.

He Qingqing had no idea of ​​the approximate upgrade speed of a city in the wasteland world, let alone the specific progress of a new human city.

"No need, I'll give you a copy." Maps are not physical resources and can be copied unlimitedly at any time. Of course, Xiang Yang was embarrassed to charge for it.

"Thank you then. I'll give you a copy of our map here as well. It's an exchange." He Qingqing said.

"Okay." Xiang Yang sent someone to drive a transport truck out, and the same was done in Jade Bird City.

The exchange was left to his subordinates, and Xiang Yang continued: "That unknown plateau is very dangerous. How can you cross it, and you don't know the geography here?"

"We have a map, and the trading ground on the plateau sells how to get through. It can be done in the sky city. The adventure is a bit risky, but not too big, but it must be at least county level, preferably county level."

He Qingqing explained: "It is not on a county-level scale. There are several locations, and it is likely to attract the pursuit of several flying energy behemoths."

Energy behemoths sometimes adapt to the changing circumstances. If a city is too big for them to chew down, they will naturally not be asking for death.

"However, the city that sells maps and route information only has maps to the Liuli Trading Ground. We don't want to go north and plan to continue eastward to have a look."

Heading north is to cross the Mohe River, then pass through the desert and the outskirts of Langling, and go to the Liuli Trading Ground, which is the route Xiang Yang took here.

He Qingqing said: "After you get the map later, I will tell you how to get there?"

"City Lord, they are a land city and cannot be passed."

The female voice from before, who was the guide who assisted He Qingqing, was also their minister of internal affairs, and was once the city lord, reminded again.

"It doesn't matter. If you can't survive on your own, you can sell it. If you have more resources, you can make a living." He Qingqing said.

This logic made the woman not know how to answer for a moment.

However, she already knew that Xiang Yang was once a student of He Qingqing and came from the same planet.

As a new human being, He Qingqing still has not adapted to the habits of the wasteland world, and has a carefree personality.

So, she thought about it and let it go.

Just make a friend, maybe it will be useful in the future.

"Thanks, you can come to me if you need anything in the future." Of course Xiang Yang couldn't hear what the other party said in the control room, but he still knew He Qingqing very well.

Although He Qingqing is carefree, she is easy-going, caring, and usually very patient. This is just because of the qualities she developed in her previous job.

She is smart and has great skills, so she cannot afford to suffer.

Xiang Yang's adoptive parents were such a troublesome family that the entire orphanage was afraid to avoid them. They were not treated submissively by her.

"Of course, when little Yangyang grows up, the teacher will have to rely on you to support him in his old age, haha." He Qingqing said with a smile.

In the control room of Shenlong City, many people suppressed their laughter.

Xiang Yang looked dark again.

The map was exchanged quickly. The people sent out had returned, and Xiang Yang immediately entered the map into the main computer in the control room.

[Acquired a new regional map, the current map is being updated...]

After the prompt came out, the big screen only flashed for a moment, and a map update progress window popped up. Then the map quickly zoomed out and moved, and finally zoomed in and out, returning to the previous point and magnification factor.

The map update progress window disappears.

【The map has been updated.】

The speed is also very fast, only taking about ten seconds.

The map given by He Qingqing was very large and very detailed, including the entire plateau in front of it, as well as Langling on the periphery of the plateau, and the Liuli Trading Ground in Langling.

Then there is the western part of the plateau, starting from the Novice Continent and ending with the entire coastal area of ​​the Running River.

There is also a large piece of the main continent across the sea in the western part of the plateau, as well as a small part of the junction between the main continent and the novice continent.

It is much larger than the area that Shenlong City has traveled through so far, several times larger.

The scope of activities of aerial cities is generally larger, but this is mainly because the Minister of Internal Affairs of Blue Bird City was once the city lord of a county-level land city and used to operate there.

Naturally, we know a lot of geography, and some places are relatively far apart.

And He Qingqing gave Xiang Yang the entire map he knew.

Of course, Xiang Yang also gave the entire map to Jade Bird City, because it was not very big.

The main reason is that flying in Shenlong City consumes too much money, Xiang Yang rarely flies, and the places Gujiacheng visited in his previous life were not very large.

"Let me tell you how to cross this plateau." He Qingqing began to explain how to take the plateau route.

From the map, it can be seen that if Langling is not included, the other parts of this plateau resemble a lying U-shape with its opening opening to the left.

Because Wolf Ridge is so big, it was formed by the merger of several mountain ranges. Even though there is an entire plateau next to it, it is extremely prominent on the map.

The top of the U-shape is where they are currently.

The two lying legs, the southern edge of the lower leg, and the mountain range extending out are the ruins that Shenlong City needed to pass when hunting the bear-like energy beast.

Yes, the ruins are only part of the mountains extending from the plateau.

Continuing south, passing through the wasteland that Shenlong City once visited, we will find a copy of the continent, the same one where the last city where Wuzhong Army stayed was destroyed.

Passing through the dungeon continent is the novice continent.

On the western coast of the wasteland, close to the Novice Continent, there is the Black Ridge Trading Ground, which is also a famous gathering place for new human cities.

There are two legs lying on the U-shaped plateau. The upper leg is only separated from another piece of land on the main continent by a strait.

The main continent after crossing the strait is still very large, and there is another way to the Novice Continent.

This is where Jade Bird City left the Novice Continent. They were active there in the early days and only went here after entering the county level.

As for the geography here, they also bought it. The activity lasted not long ago, only more than a month. This is why they asked to buy maps from Shenlong City. They came all the way and bought maps along the way.

After passing the leg on the U-shaped plateau, there is a large area of ​​hills and flat land. The western end of the leg is close to the coast and there is a pine forest trading ground.

The eastern part of Xiaoqiu Ridge and Pingping Area is the western periphery of Wolf Ridge. If you continue to the north, you will encounter the Benliu River. Follow the current upstream of the Benliu River to reach the Liuli Trading Ground.

The middle position between the two legs of the U-shaped plateau is also flat land and hills, which is very large and vast.

Therefore, it can be seen that there are three narrow places on this plateau, namely the western end of the two legs and the concave position in the middle of the two legs.

If you want to cross the plateau, you can only pass through these three places.

There is no need for the western end of the two legs, because you can go around it from the sea, and some cities will only walk through the U-shaped concave position in the middle of the two legs.

It is the path that the Blue Bird City has taken to the west from the current location of Shenlong City.

"There are several routes, but I only know one." He Qingqing said: "These routes don't take many cities, they are all cities in the sky."

"Only those sky cities have mastered the routes, so it is more difficult to buy them, so the price is very expensive."

"If you encounter it, you can make a lot of money."

"Anyway, you set the price yourself. There is no fixed increase. We spent fifty energy blocks on the purchase. It only includes the route to climb, not including other maps. You can use it as a reference."

He Qingqing told Xiang Yang how to get there. This was the purpose.

Give Xiang Yang a way to make money.

Because survival in the wasteland is difficult, information can be sold for money, especially this kind of rare route information. Of course, He Qingqing has to take care of his students.

Of course Xiang Yang knew about it, and to be honest, he was very touched.

Even after coming to the wasteland world, some things have not changed for He Qingqing. For her, Xiang Yang will always be the orphan and student in the orphanage who needs to be taken care of.
