Chapter 12 After Sunset, There Are No Taboos
Nata County was already the westernmost city of Noah's kingdom.
It is best known for the fact that half of the downtown part of the city is exposed outside of Noah's Great Barrier.
If you look from the top down, you will see an incomparably sharp contrast:
The city on the east side, at first glance, is indistinguishable from Noah's other cities.
β¦β¦ At least the gap is not particularly large.
Crowded slums, noisy and dilapidated shopping streets, rumbling factories and mills, vast wheat fields outside the city.
The little girl selling flowers on the street, the little boy and the old man begging, and the man with the severed limbs looked around at the golden fingers walking in the streets and alleys.
There is only one difference.
There were no city guards, no police stations, and no churches in Nata County.
- This is a real city of lawlessness.
It is the three underground gangs in the city that run everything.
Although chaotic and full of sin, it is a vibrant city after all.
But it's a different story in the west.
On the west side, Natashire's gray, rotten, dark green sticky mold clings to the surface of the building. Even the rocks and tiles lost their color and turned dull gray. No one was left inside unprotected.
The ornamental plants on the streets have long since completely withered and decayed, and the white shrubs, the trees that have become dry and brittle as if they had rotted for decades. The carcasses of small animals on the ground, such as dead mice, hedgehogs and wild ducks, had long since swelled up into knee-high, slowly wriggling lumps of meat that sat in place as quietly as potted plants.
But strangely, the factories outside the city on the west side are still running.
However, what it emitted was not grayish-white vapor or dull yellow exhaust gas.
It's a thick mist of blood.
The sky was covered in the blood mist, and the clouds were stained scarlet. At sunset, the scarlet will pass through the clouds and from the setting light to the "Dongcheng District".
This is a sign that the carnival of blood and gunpowder is about to begin.
After sunset, there are no taboos.
"Bang!"
In the dark alleys, gunshots rang out.
If it was in Noah's other cities, this would have attracted the city guards a long time ago.
But here, no one came in to take a look.
The youkai sensei grinned, frowned, and handed the flintlock pistol, which was smoking from the muzzle and covered with rust, to the delicious wind goose behind him.
Below his knees was a young man whose hands had been cut behind his back and his head had exploded.
Before the boy swallowed the bullet in his skull, he already had two scars on his forehead.
The youkai sensei fumbled around him and found a gray metal sheet like a horseshoe, three copper plates, an empty syringe, a small bag of bullets, and a small bottle of aluminum canned "black fire".
Liquid black fire is a superior substitute for gunpowder powder, which is more stable than gunpowder and fires more powerful bullets. If you throw it and hit the canister with a bullet, it can become a blaster.
Very dangerous configuration.
Luckily, just before he could shoot, Dove burst out from behind him and kicked him in the back of the head, knocking him straight into the ground.
ββ¦β¦ It's Nata County. β
After playing with the flintlock pistol seized from the young man, the delicious wind goose muttered: "Will such a young child come out to rob?" β
"You call this a robbery?"
The monster teacher took out a silver coin and tapped the bullet mark on Andersen's left arm: "If Lao An hadn't just knocked you away, I'm afraid you would have to perform and die on the spot as soon as you entered the city." β
"Don't force it, help me heal!"
Hans Christian Andersen covered his arms and shouted with grinning teeth: "Direct treatment is done, it is a bruise, and it does not hurt the bones...... But maybe it hurt my tendons, and my arm was twitching. β
"Let's take a look at it. The hell knows what's going on here, so let's save some of it first. β
The monster teacher said casually, throwing the silver coin on the wound with precision like throwing a stone.
The silver coin glowed with silver melted into a ball of light the moment it touched the wound, and the bullet marks on Andersen's arm healed immediately. Although I felt a little uncomfortable, I was able to move normally.
But in fact, it is only a rough healing.
It would take a little more than two silver coins to fully heal from this injury.
Fortunately, the monster teacher does not have the "milk full obsessive-compulsive disorder" that is common in priest professions.
- Because before entering the Misty World, he was a righteous green trebuchet.
Now, of course, it has become a righteous green polisher......
They did bring a lot of reserves with them this time to open up the wasteland in Nauta Countyβan overloaded light squad of four people and one cat, and they brought about one hundred and twenty silver coins.
Serious injuries such as severed limbs or large rib fractures can be healed for about ten to twelve silver coins if they are treated immediately. This means that they have about ten tubes of blood bars in reserve for treatment.
It's not so much a priest as a "humanoid blood vial".
If the heart is pierced or something fatal...... It's better to die and come back to life, they definitely won't let them waste the blood vial.
Because Andersen does not have the ability to heal fatal injuries for the time being.
And once it comes to the organs and brain, the amount of silver needed increases exponentially.
This is the amount they managed to scrape together with other players. Among them, nearly forty percent were contributed by Longjing tea alone.
"Looking for a place to live?"
The monster teacher glanced at Dove and asked, "Shall we find an inn?" I'm a little hungry. β
"But don't."
The delicious wind goose sneered: "You dare to stay in a hotel in this kind of place?" What do you dare to eat? Open an inn on the cross slope...... Whether we can make it into stuffing or not, I think these coins will be gone tomorrow. β
"What then?"
Hans Christian Andersen frowned: "Still eat dry food and jerky? And if we don't have a bed, where will we go offline tomorrow? β
"You're stupid. Now you can go offline without a bed. β
Delicious Wind Goose squinted: "My opinion is...... If nothing happens, the four of us won't go offline for the next two days. Whoever wants to eat and drink Lazar will go offline and solve it and then come back, and the others will guard him for a point.
"Is there anything wrong with any of you?"
The three of them and the cat looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Hans Christian Andersen replied, "It seems that it is all right." β
"Okay," Delicious Wind Goose nodded suddenly, "Then that's the matter for now."
"Again, the objectives of the mission. Our primary purpose is to stay here for a week, complete three nightmares, and set up a teleportation point for others...... It is best to be able to do it in ten days.
"The reward level of the three Nightmare dungeons, the XP in the dungeon, and the additional bonus XP from the Waypoint. It will probably raise Hans Christian Andersen and Dove to about level 16 or 17.
"The good thing about Nata County is that there are many wild transcendents and demons here. Moreover, almost 100 percent of the transcendents in Nata County are felons, without regard for the law or condemnation of conscience...... My advice is to transition to level 20 here as soon as possible and advance to Silver.
"The underground world is very rich in resources, but it is also dangerous. Compared to unknown beasts, humans are much more vulnerable. After hunting down a sufficient number of illegal transcendents, we will not advance here, but simply retreat back to the capital through the waypoint and advance in a safe place. β
"Understood."
Hans Christian Andersen concluded: "Kill. Look for nightmares. Clear the dungeon. β
Yokai Teacher added, "And find a place where you can sleep in peace, at least don't let the money be lost." β
Dove meowed.
ββ¦β¦ No, a place to sleep in peace is impossible. β
Delicious Wind Goose is very calm: "Prepare for the worst, our money and equipment can be lost at any time."
"I smell the smell of desire here...... It's full of deceit, betrayal, rage, and jealousy. β

After Sun Wukong learned the scriptures, he smoked a cigarette and recalled: "I will never forget that day, after the master split the Five Fingers Mountain, he grabbed my neck and asked me whether to go to the West Heaven with him or whether he sent me to the West Heaven." β
