Chapter 198 Meow, So Courageous

The night in the barren land was caught off guard like this. The registrant only had time to write the last stroke, and the sun was mercilessly driven away by the night.

The temperature in the instantly darkened small town dropped sharply, Li Hua couldn't help shivering, and hugged herself tightly.

"It got dark an hour earlier today." The man in front of the small table muttered, tucked the registration information book under his arm, and sniffed: "Come with me, I'll settle down today, and tomorrow Find a place to live."

"It's here." After only a few steps, the man brought them to a room: "It's here, there's nothing there, just make do with it." After speaking, he left in a hurry.

"There really is nothing." After entering the room, the chill on her body was dispelled, and Li Hua began to look at the whole room: "But the advantage is that there is no air leakage."

An empty room, nothing but three walls, a door, and a roof.There is no furniture, not even the simplest bedding provided.

"That's not bad." Lan Sheng sat on the floor indifferently.

In the few months in the barren land, he suffered all kinds of hardships, including being instantly frozen into ice at night when the temperature dropped sharply, only to melt when the sun rose the next day.

"Contrary to the seasons outside, this is the hottest time of the year in the barren land." Lan Sheng took out a few quilts from the space, spread them on the floor casually, and introduced what he saw and heard here: "I'm here In that month, it happened to catch up with the end of the coldest weather, luckily the shadow was there, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to see me.”

"So bad?" Li Hua got into the quilt, only her head was exposed, and asked curiously, "There were fewer people doing evil during that time, right?"

"No, there are more. Those who can survive during that time are the ones who are truly recognized by the barren land."

"why?"

'resource. 'Ying took out a small wooden stick and wrote two words on the ground.

Those who entered the barren land rarely had well-prepared people, which resulted in the frequent occurrence of murder and looting at the coldest time.

Only by killing the opponent can they survive in this cold season. Unless the weak have treasures and don't worry about food and clothing, the barren land is their burial place.

After all, after entering here, it is impossible to stop eating and drinking all the time, no matter who it is, entering here, just like ordinary eating and drinking men and women, will be unbearably hungry.

"Hey, the future is dark." After Li Hua understood something, she suddenly lost the joy of living: "Let me sleep first, and then accept the torture of reality."

'small world. 'Shadow wrote three words on the ground.

Lan Sheng's eyes lit up, and he forgot about this matter. With this thing, he might be able to occupy a city here, but this can't be said bluntly, until she thinks about it, after all, it belongs to her experience.

……

"Li Hua woke up."

"Sleep for a while." Li Hua, who was soundly asleep, pulled away the hand that pushed her: "Just a while."

"Get up, when it's dawn, someone will come."

After the words fell, sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the house, instantly illuminating the inside like daytime.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Li Hua, who was blinded by the sun, got up and sighed helplessly, "The days of sleeping until you wake up naturally are gone forever."

"Two hours."

"What?" She didn't care about complaining, she jumped up and said in a high voice: "Two hours?"

"Yes." Lan Sheng calmly took the bedding back to the space: "Welcome to the barren land, where you will have an unprecedented experience."

The day and night in the barren land are not as distinct as the day and night in the outside world. It may be day for a whole day, or it may be night for a day.More likely, night and day interspersed among them.But there is an unwritten rule, do not fight at night, otherwise the manager of the town you are in will ask you to go out.

The door was pushed open, and the man from yesterday still held a registration book in his hand: "It's all up, then hurry up."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the reaction of the people behind him and sat down on the chair.

"Why is he in such a hurry to drive us away?"

It was just dawn, and the man wanted to drive them away so quickly, lest they would provoke the plague.

"Because we are a piece of fat at this time."

Li Hua, who was about to ask why, felt the scorching gaze, and followed the two of them calmly.Only then did I realize that many people were already standing on the street, and they all looked at them with malicious eyes, as if evaluating the value of the goods.

"We were kicked out to protect the house."

Li Hua didn't understand what she said. In the eyes of the permanent residents of this town, they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered.For the sake of lambs, no one is willing to do a loss-making business by scrapping a house.

"It's a long way to go." Li Hua sighed, and followed Lan Sheng into a house with a skull hanging on the door.

Different from the rough and simple outside, the inside of the house is unique.Wherever you can see, there are densely packed weapons, shining coldly, telling people who come by: 'I'm not easy to mess with. '

"Issuing the mission or accepting the mission?" A man who was only five feet tall behind the counter was struggling to record something in the notebook on his toes.

"Accept the task." Lan Sheng said and threw the wooden sign given by the registered person on the counter: "Take the hardest one."

"Yo, I'm not old, but I'm quite courageous." The person behind the counter finally raised his head and glanced at them, his body suddenly became taller, he reached out and took off a small wooden sign hanging on the eaves, and threw it on the counter : "Are you interested in the task that no one has ever taken over in the history of Wuwang City?"

"Why aren't you interested?" Lan Sheng snatched up the wooden sign, but was intercepted halfway.

"What does the shopkeeper mean by this?"

"You don't even ask what the task is?"

"Oh? What is it?"

"Kill the city lord." The shopkeeper mysteriously whispered in his ear, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth: "How dare you accept it?"

"Accept, why not?" Lan Sheng snatched the token, cut his finger, and dotted the blood on his fingertip.

The wooden signboard, which was originally ordinary, suddenly lit up, and a blue light went straight to the roof.

"Accepted, that task has been accepted."

"Really accepted."

Everyone stood outside the house, saw the beam of light that could rival the sun, and rushed to tell each other.

"Little friend is courageous." The shopkeeper gave him a thumbs up: "So I wish you success."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Lan Sheng accepted his blessing and walked out the door.

The originally empty street was already full of people. They looked at the people who came out, and their eyes flashed.When the three of them passed by them, they gave way tacitly without making too many moves.

"It's so courageous." Li Hua recovered from the shock, and patted Lan Sheng's back heavily: "This will act as a deterrent, so we can leave."

"I can't go." Lan Sheng shook his head: "Today's goal is to kill the city lord."
