I have a city in another world

Chapter 6397 The Price of Helping Others

The deputy captain looked it over carefully and finally stood in front of the exploration captain.

Looking at his companions who were like wax figures and had no reaction at all, the deputy captain was filled with emotion.

The two men were old acquaintances, but their relationship was average and they hardly interacted with each other on a daily basis.

For this exploration operation, the two were jointly selected to serve as captain and deputy captain.

But behind the two people, they represent different factions, and the fight between them is secretive and cruel.

Before taking action, both of them received secret instructions to keep as much benefit as possible in their own hands.

Before entering the dark realm, the two of them still had a competitive mentality and were wary of each other.

I never dreamed that as soon as I entered the dark realm, unexpected things would happen one after another.

From now on, the two of them may never have the chance to compete again.

The exploration captain looked as if he had lost his soul. There was no trace of his former elegance.

Seeing his competitor in trouble, the vice-captain did not feel any joy, only waves of powerlessness and despair.

He knew very well that the difficulty of this mission was far beyond his imagination. If they were to rely on just a group of people, they would most likely end up being wiped out.

But fortunately, I met a strange person who knew how to deal with these strange situations.

The deputy captain did not want to delve into Tang Zhen's background in order to avoid affecting the relationship between the two parties.

At the same time, he also knew that there were many extraordinary people in the world who mastered a variety of skills.

Now that I have such a remarkable person in front of me, I must make good use of him no matter what.

Learn more knowledge and methods, find a way to complete this mission, and find a way to leave the dark area.

It would be great if there was a way to suppress the expansion of the dark realm and master extraordinary powers.

Thinking of this, the deputy captain walked up to Tang Zhen and asked him what to do next.

Before he could speak, Tang Zhen shook his head.

"no way."

This seemingly incoherent sentence made the deputy captain feel cold in his heart, and despair and unwillingness surged in his heart again.

"There's really no other way."

The deputy captain asked again, hoping that Tang Zhen’s answer would be different from what he thought.

Gradually, his heart fell to the bottom.

“I don’t know why the dark realm is spreading, but it is definitely not a force that ordinary people can resist.

Proliferation cannot be stopped by any means, including those of destructive weapons.

If we try rashly, we will only end up making things worse and leading to a bigger disaster."

When the deputy captain heard this, he showed an unwilling look on his face, accompanied by a hint of deep fear.

If this is true, won't the world be destroyed?
When Tang Zhen reached this point, he pointed at the group of men and women and told the deputy captain the true situation.

Hearing about such strange means, the deputy captain became more and more horrified and uneasy. All this was beyond his understanding.

If he hadn't experienced it himself and seen it with his own eyes, he might have just regarded it as a lie.

But Tang Zhen told him that the truth was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

The strange dark area is actually a nest that breeds monsters, and devouring is only to help them grow.

Unlike the trapped people, monsters must have a way to leave, which is why they have refined a batch of special flesh containers.

These are all known intelligence. As we continue to explore, we may obtain more despairing news.

Tang Zhen was not exaggerating, but made a long-term deduction and judgment on the situation based on his own experience and knowledge.

If it were any other monk, they would simply not be able to do this.

The deputy captain remained silent, as if he had lost his soul and only an empty shell of flesh and blood remained.

Suddenly he took a deep breath, like a drowning man being rescued, and then looked at Tang Zhen intently.

"Is it true... that there is no other way?"

The deputy captain doesn't want to die, doesn't want his family to be harmed, and doesn't want the world to be destroyed.

He had no other choice but to place his hopes on Tang Zhen, even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

The vice-captain's faith was shaky and could collapse completely with just a slight blow. Tang Zhen wanted to tell him that it was impossible to reverse the outcome of destruction with the power of mortals alone.

In the days that follow, despair will grow and spread, devouring countless lives until the world is completely destroyed.

But strictly speaking, this problem is not unsolvable.

With Tang Zhen here, there is a glimmer of hope. Tang Zhen has various ways to deal with things that the indigenous people are helpless against.

Although it cannot solve the root cause of the problem, it can alleviate the situation and allow the indigenous people to hold on longer.

The various pains you endure can also be alleviated a lot, at least you can die more easily.

The key to the problem is that if Tang Zhen chooses to help, he may be implicated.

If you want to become a savior, you need to bear tremendous pressure and have to deal with all kinds of dangers.

The situation in this world is far more complicated than imagined, and one could get into trouble if one is not careful.

Tang Zhen wanted benefits but didn't want to take too many risks, especially from powerful gods.

In the world of Loucheng, he can provoke gods from other worlds and even kill the gods' clones himself.

The reason why they dare to do so is because they have a strong backer and have a huge advantage in playing at home.

But in other worlds, without various conditions, fighting against gods is just asking for trouble.

Gods are also divided into different levels. Ordinary lower-level gods are actually not as scary as imagined.

However, high-level gods possess incredible power and can even cause a catastrophe in an instant.

Facing such divine power, no matter how many calculations and plans one makes, they are nothing but a joke.

At this moment, Tang Zhen had not made up his mind to get involved.

Provide assistance appropriately without any problems.

"Everything depends on human effort. No one can know the final outcome until the last moment."

Tang Zhen decided to help the villagers set up the rune array to at least ensure the safety of the village.

The deputy captain did not remain depressed for too long. He immediately cheered up and started to get busy according to Tang Zhen's instructions.

The village chief is in poor health and this trip out almost cost him his life. He is unable to participate in the work at all right now.

But he reminded the villagers to obey Tang Zhen's command and not to question or resist.

If it happened on a normal day, without the participation of the respected village chief, there would definitely be various inconveniences when doing things.

Today, Tang Zhen has a higher prestige than the village chief, and the villagers and exploration team members are in awe of him.

When they were at a loss, Tang Zhen had a way to solve the problem, so they naturally had to obey his orders.

In the following time, all the able-bodied people, regardless of gender, age or status, went into battle and arranged things according to Tang Zhen's requirements.

If there is a lack of materials, just demolish the house without any hesitation.

If you can't even save your life, who would care about stopping production of houses? If there is a real need, it doesn't matter if you burn them down.

Tang Zhen used local materials and various existing supplies to prepare a medicine to dispel bad luck for the villagers.

After taking the medicine, you can clear the yin energy in the body, activate the qi and blood, and make the yang energy more sufficient.

The villagers who were originally sickly now seem to have come back to life, and their sore hands and feet now have strength again.

Tang Zhen found some materials, mixed them with some spirit stone powder, and refined them into an amulet that could resist the invasion of negative energy.

Although it cannot be completely isolated, it is much better than being completely exposed. At least it can protect the soul and heart.

The amulet can only last for three days and must be replaced when the time is up, otherwise it will be attacked by negative energy again.

The seemingly insignificant amulet is equivalent to helping the villagers extend their lifespan by three days. They originally only had a lifespan of one month, but now they can live longer.

The villagers didn't know the truth, but they could feel the immediate difference, and hope rose in their hearts.

They actually don't know the truth of the matter, otherwise they would have collapsed and fallen into chaos long ago.

Not all information is suitable for ordinary people to know, as that will only cause more trouble.

With everyone's efforts, a protective barrier was built, with a small rune array nested in it.

The runes with strange shapes seemed to contain magical power, isolating the area near the fire from the outside world.

As long as the monster gets close, the rune array will be triggered and it will be attacked by fire snakes.
