Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 1003 Lily is a big kid

Most of the people in the group were awakened, and they hurried on their way, and the return time was much faster than when they came to Sheng'an.

Three days later, the group arrived in Qingcheng.

"Oh, Brother Ye, this Qingcheng of yours looks quite impressive!"

Standing at the foot of the gate of Qingcheng, the bearded man stroked his chin and commented.

"No...Actually, it wasn't like this a few days ago..."

Kong Zhe also looked at Qingcheng in surprise.

At this moment, the walls of Qingcheng did not have the sense of dilapidation that he had imagined to be devastated by the beast horde.Kong Zhe looked around, but he didn't even see any cracks.

Not only that, the city wall in front of him seems to have been refined a lot before he left, as if it was painted once with some high-grade materials. Qingcheng is now short of food, how can it be possible to have spare money for such a place?
This situation was really beyond his expectation. After all, even with a strong military force like Sheng'an, when the beast tide ended, the city walls were destroyed badly. Although humans had three sky cities to help out, their basic strength was not enough after all. There, how could it be more perfect than Sheng An Guo's defense?
Seeing Kong Zhe's doubts, Lan explained with a smile: "Your Highness, Qingcheng's casualty rate has been greatly reduced in this beast swarm, and it seems that it was rated as excellent by the system in the end. When I left, Qingcheng was upgraded from a mid-level city. It is a high-level city, and a reward for renovating the city wall is also given."

"So that's how it is..."

Kong Zhe nodded. He had never heard of this kind of reward in his previous life. It seems that because of the help of Sky City, Qingcheng's performance was much higher than the system expected, so he had to re-evaluate Qingcheng's combat power gave this hidden reward.

However, in this way, the difficulty of the Qingcheng beast tide will suddenly increase in the future.

After stopping at the door for a while, Kong Zhe greeted several people to enter the city.At the moment, there were not many watchmen at the gate of the city, and the patrolling personnel naturally recognized Kong Zhe, who had just made a big splash, so they let him pass politely without any obstruction.

In this regard, the few people in Bauhinia did not feel anything.

However, when they entered the city, they were surprised at the same time.

"Is... there are too many people here?"

"No, Brother Ye, do you usually live like this? Don't you think it's crowded?"

Both the golden retriever and the bearded man stared blankly at the crowded scene in front of them.

Kong Zhe shook his head amusedly, thinking to himself, what's the fuss, you haven't seen a scene with a lot of people. Compared with the Earth in the Sunshine Age, the scene in front of you is far from crowded.

However, it is no wonder that they are so surprised. The population of the earth has exploded for so many years. Human beings have long been accustomed to dense dwellings, and the way of living has long been changed from flat tiles to continuously increasing superimposed dwellings. Even in the last days, the youth of today There are also high-rise buildings in the city.

On the other hand, Sheng'an Kingdom, although it has a large land area, actually has a small population. Just look at their main city, and the tallest building in Sheng'an City does not have more than five floors.

Kong Zhe estimated that the population density of human settlements should be second to none in the entire Warcraft Continent.

"When I first came here, I was also taken aback by the population of Qingcheng." Bai Xue smiled slightly at this time, and explained: "According to the feedback from our investigation team, the area of ​​Qingcheng is only the size of Sheng'an Country. One-tenth of my country's population, but the population is more than five times that of our country. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that a city could accommodate such a large population and still operate smoothly."

Kong Zhe gave a wry smile. In fact, it's not that human beings want to live in such a crowded place. Who wouldn't want to live in a more relaxed place?

The reason why Qingcheng has such a high population density is due to the living habits of the Sunshine Age. More importantly, it is actually because the current human strength is too weak.

The proportion of awakened people among human beings is too low, so they have to shrink the defense line to live. The smaller the defense circle, the lower the difficulty of defense. Otherwise, if they learn from Sheng'an City and disperse hundreds of thousands of people to live in the surrounding towns, they will Even the army enough to resist the monsters can't come out.

But, that also refers to the past, now that Qingcheng has been upgraded to a high-level city, and there are three kings gathered together, the overall strength is much stronger than before, but it can be considered to expand the city area.

These thoughts flashed through Kong Zhe's mind quickly, and then he shook his head.Forget it, he doesn't need to think about this kind of thing at all. The high-level figures in Qingcheng must know more than him. The expansion of the land is probably already in the plan, and he still guards his side with peace of mind. Aries City is fine.

Kong Zhe's plan for this trip to Sheng'an had been discussed with the military personnel before, so they didn't enter the city not long before the military personnel came to meet them.

"You guys have worked hard, welcome back to Qingcheng!"

A group of military personnel approached, and the leading army saluted Kong Zhe.

While speaking, the man subconsciously glanced at the people behind Kong Zhe, especially Bai Xue who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Kong Zhe guessed that the military wanted to take Bai Xue away here, which Kong Zhe naturally couldn't agree to.He doesn't trust the military very much. If he thinks about it, once Bai Xue falls into the hands of the military, he will become a bargaining chip in the war between the two countries in minutes, and being placed under house arrest is not trivial.

He robbed Bai Xue to Qingcheng for the purpose of frightening Sheng An Guo, but not as a hostage, but as a friend. In this case, at least her basic personal freedom must be guaranteed.

Therefore, after the other party made a request to hand over the hostages, he immediately refused, and said that if he wanted hostages, he would let the military directly send troops to Baiyang City to snatch them.

This sentence blocked the military people to death. Kong Zhe's reputation in Qingcheng is very high now, so he would not dare to turn against him and snatch him from the military. , then changed the subject in a sensible manner, and after chatting a few words, he led the people away.

Only then did the Bauhinia people heave a sigh of relief.When the soldiers rushed over just now, they were frightened and nervous. They all gathered around Bai Xue subconsciously, holding weapons in their hands the whole time. This is not their territory after all. If they really fight here, They were not at all sure they could protect the princess.

Fortunately, Kong Zhe's status seems to be quite high, and a few words scare these people away.

"Your Highness, the current Qingcheng is not stable enough. In order to avoid accidents, I can only wrong you to stay in my small city for a while."

Kong Zhe looked at Bai Xue and promised: "After a while, the situation stabilizes, and I promise to find you a better place to live."

"Mr. Kong Zhe is polite. Yours is not a small city, but a city in the sky. I don't think anyone will refuse to live in a city in the sky."

Bai Xue smiled slightly, with some anticipation in her eyes: "It is said that the air in the floating city is fresh and the scenery is pleasant. I have been curious about it for a long time. Now I can live there, but it is a wish of mine. Unwilling?"

"That's good."

Kong Zhe smiled.At present, the only suitable place for Bai Xue to stay in Qingcheng is Baiyang City.

Five minutes later, several people arrived at the bottom of Baiyang City, and with a flash of white light, everyone was teleported to the top of Baiyang City.

"Brother Kong Zhe, you are back."

The people from Shuguang seemed to have got the news in advance. As soon as Kong Zhe and others came up, Zhuzi and the people from Shuguang were already waiting here.

"I wasted a little time on the way."

Kong Zhe explained casually, then pointed to Bai Xue and the others behind him, and said to Zhuzi: "Zhuzi, these are our guests, and they will stay with us from today onwards, you can arrange rooms for them. "

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Zhu Zi also seemed to vaguely know the identities of these strangers, so he took a sneak peek at them and patted his chest to assure him.

Although the people from Bauhinia had spoken a lot of Earth language with Kong Shih-sze these days, they were obviously not proficient enough and could barely understand it. Fortunately, with Bai Xue acting as an interpreter in the middle, there would not be any What communication barriers.

"Brother Kong, you are back."

After a while, the news of Kong Zhe's return spread throughout Baiyang City, Song Jing and Hong Ling all came out to say hello.

Lili, who was playing with Xiaolei in the garden, immediately beamed with joy when she heard that Kong Zhe was back, and Sa Yazi ran to see him, throwing Xiaolei far away.

"Brother, brother, brother..."

Lily bounced all the way to the front yard, still humming, she really missed Kong Zhe a few days ago.

"what?"

However, when she walked through the garden with cheerful steps and saw Kong Zhe surrounded by a group of people in the distance, she suddenly let out a surprise, stopped, and looked at the distant Kong Zhe with some doubts. Kong Zhe.

"Brother Kong Zhe..."

At this time, Xiaolei also skipped past her, as if she couldn't wait to see Kong Zhe.

"Oh, wait, Miss Xiaolei."

Lily grabbed Xiaolei's arm quickly.

Xiaolei was anxious to see Kong Zhe, when she was stopped suddenly, she couldn't help but look back in doubt: "Lily? What's wrong?"

Lily didn't answer her, but still stared at Kong Zhe in the crowd, touched her chin, and murmured: "Brother, how strange..."

"strangeness?"

Xiaolei was stunned for a moment, and looked at Kong Zhe a few times like her, but she couldn't see anything strange.

"Is it weird there?"

"Miss Xiaolei, come here!"

After thinking about it, Lily took Xiaolei's hand directly, and the two of them hid secretly in a corner, and poked their heads out from behind the wall, observing Kong Zhe furtively.

"Miss Xiaolei, look, brother, he came back this time with a red face, not at all like his usual appearance." Lily said seriously.
