I have a city in another world

Chapter 2024 Shelter
During the evacuation, Tang Zhen asked about the origins of Niujiaohe and his group, and it turned out that, as he guessed, they were also desperate.

It's just that they are the second or third generation of desperate people, not like Tang Zhen and others, who are just newcomers.

They also did not come from the Long Street of Despair, but lived here for a long time, and finally gathered together for various reasons.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a local snake.

In order to avoid being hunted by the officers and soldiers, the Bull Horn Helmet and his group built a lot of shelters outside the city, like cunning foxes, making it impossible for the officers and soldiers to catch them.

Without this method, they would not be able to persist until now, and they might have been killed by officers and soldiers long ago.

Today they were transferring as a routine, but they accidentally bumped into Tang Zhen and others, which led to what happened later.

It can only be said that everything was a coincidence. If it hadn't been for Tang Zhen, the Horn Helmet and his gang would have missed a wonderful battle.

Leaving aside the weapons and equipment of the Desperado, Tang Zhen's ability to cast spells alone is enough to make the Horn Helmet and his team take it seriously.

If this method can be replicated, it will undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity for the desperate to change their difficult situation.

Of course, this kind of thing is not easy, and the group of Ox Horn Helmet didn't have high expectations. Perhaps Tang Zhen's situation was just a coincidence.

Otherwise, after so many years, how could the desperate be oppressed to such an extent, like rats crossing the street, in constant fear?
On the way to the hidden camp, Tang Zhen asked the identities of these officers and soldiers and confirmed that they were all residents of the city.

The races of the desperate are different, but these aborigines all belong to the same race. They call themselves the remnants of the Kingdom of God, and they have a particularly strong sense of xenophobia.

Compared with those weird residents on the long street, these captured officers and soldiers are all living people with flesh and blood, and there is an essential difference between the two.

"Perhaps the strange situation occurred because of the abnormal changes in the long street, and the survivors of the Kingdom of God in these cities were not affected by the changes?"

Tang Zhen vaguely guessed that perhaps the changes in the weird long street had an inescapable relationship with the desperate.

It is for this reason that the residents here reject the desperate and try to make things difficult.

The question is why they allowed the desperate to enter the city, and at the same time wiped out the desperate outside the city. Could it be that they forced the desperate to enter the city?
After the desperate people entered the city, they also made things difficult for them in every possible way. What is the reason for this?
Tang Zhen felt that he might be able to get the answer from the two robed men, but he had to interrogate them carefully later.

After marching for about two hours, the Horn Helmet and his group stopped and walked in between the two big trees on the side of the road.

It was only after entering that I discovered that there was a cave built with stones hidden in the shade of trees and grass.

A slightly damp breath permeated near the entrance of the cave, and it was dark inside, and it was unknown what was there.

"How big is your cave, can it accommodate so many of us?"

The dwarf asked, his huge body couldn't get in at all, so he probably could only squat at the entrance of the cave as the door god.

"Don't worry, there is no problem with thousands of people living here, of course, the premise is that there is enough food.

If there is no food, no matter how safe a place is, it is impossible to stay for a long time. "

The tone of the horned helmet was a little helpless. Food was always the biggest threat to the survival of the desperate. If this problem could be effectively solved, there was no need for them to take risks and move around to collect food all day long.

It's a pretty good way to live in the cave honestly and sneakily.

Tang Zhen didn't ask why he didn't go hunting in the forest. After killing the dragon-shaped creature, he knew that there were many dangers in the forest, and the horned helmets and the gang might not be the opponents of those monsters.

If they went into the forest to hunt rashly, half of their group would survive, which would be considered good luck.

If you are a little careless, or if you are unlucky and encounter a powerful monster, it is normal for the entire army to be wiped out.

Led by the horned helmet, a group of people entered the cave, and then a dark hall appeared in front of them.

The man in the horned helmet lit an oil lamp, which was made of resin and had a faint scent of grass and trees after being lit.

With the lights, the scenery in the cave can be seen more clearly, and everyone can finally move freely.

Tang Zhen looked around and found that the hall had obvious traces of man-made excavation. The builders should be the Horn Helmet group, or left by other desperate people, and now it has become their shelter.

"Drive the officers and soldiers into the nearby cave. As long as the platoon sends a few people to guard them, it is impossible for them to escape."

The horned helmet pointed to the hole next to it and said that it was a temporary prison cell, and the entrance and exit were very narrow, so it could only be crawled in and out.

In this case, only a few desperate men and a spear can hold it.

"Is this a specially built cell to imprison captive officers and soldiers?"

Tang Zhen glanced at the horned helmet and asked.

"That's right, but that's all in the past. Five years ago, the largest group of desperate people here was wiped out, and this place became our hiding place."

Tang Zhen smiled and said: "Then you are not afraid that after the officers and soldiers are redeemed, they will lead a large number of people to block you in here?"

The horned helmet smiled "hehe", took out a bottle of sticky potion from his pocket, and said proudly: "This is soul-losing water. Once you drink it, you will forget everything in half a month. There is no any antidote.

Every time those officers and soldiers are released back, they must be given a gulp, so that they can't remember where they were detained, and we don't have to worry about being found. "

Hearing the horned helmet's explanation, Tang Zhen finally understood the routine of these desperate people, and at the same time understood their helplessness.

The horned helmet once said that after officers and soldiers see a desperate person, they can kill them without any scruples.

Only those who survived by luck will be taken back to mine, and there is almost no possibility of seeing the sun again.

Ordinarily, based on the enmity between the two parties, after catching the officers and soldiers, the desperate people must also fight back with an eye, and kill those officers and soldiers to relieve their anger.

But they didn't dare to do this, because they were afraid that the enmity between the two sides would deepen and become irresolvable.

To keep them alive is to hope that these officers and soldiers can show some kindness and be merciful when dealing with them.

Secondly, it is also expected to use these officers and soldiers as bargaining chips in exchange for a ransom to make life more comfortable.

Tang Zhen didn't care about exchanging ransom money, but was very interested in the methods of the two robed men. The vague memory in his mind urgently needed an introduction.

After ordering everyone to rest, Tang Zhen came to the two unconscious robed men and asked them to find a way to wake them up.

The desperate people went around the cave, got two pots of muddy spring water, and poured them on the two robed men.

With a "humming and chirping" sound from their mouths, the two robed men woke up slowly, only to see Tang Zhen standing in front of them as soon as they opened their eyes.

The previous experience came to the fore, making the two robed men tremble, and a sense of fear involuntarily surfaced in their hearts.
