From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 1055
Chapter 1055 Adventurer’s Paradise
Lower Sand City was definitely a paradise for adventurers. It was only a paradise for the truly courageous. Chaos and barbarism were the eternal keynote here. Those who dared to live here were not good people, because as long as you lived here for a day, you would be able to experience what was truly evil in human nature.
Chen Guangda and the others led their horses and slowly walked into the city covered in yellow sand. However, the moment they entered, they could immediately feel what it meant to be indifferent. There was not even a lighted brazier on the dim street, and piles of rubbish were not cleaned. Apart from rubbish, the entire street was covered in yellow sand.
The mess was not enough to describe this place. This was a huge dump and mass grave. Even the dried corpses that had fallen on the roadside were ignored. In addition, there were shadows shaking everywhere in the dark corners. They were like despicable hyenas, gloomily examining Chen Guangda’s horses and goods.
‘”I suggest you find a place to stay first. If you don’t have enough people, it’s easy for you to be targeted. Furthermore, you don’t even have a small pistol. Once you go to the bar, you will definitely be robbed …”
Wang Ran held the horse up high with his chest raised. He tried his best to show the confidence that he could intimidate a little. Although he was deceiving himself, he was helpless. There were too many covetous people on both sides. Chen Guangda could even feel hundreds of unkind gazes, staring at his entire body.
“Alright! Find a bigger courtyard …”
Chen Guangda nodded without any hesitation. Wang Ran took out an emergency light and turned to the main road on the left. This area could barely see what a third-tier city used to look like. There were many high-end residential buildings and shops on both sides of the street.
However, the things inside had long since been burgled. Under the powerful magnetic field, many residential buildings twisted like twisted flowers, and even the entire building collapsed. Even cars parked on the roadside had long since turned into discus discus. They were pitifully stuck to the ground, unable to move at all.
“The courtyard may not be safe, but this place is better …”
Wang Ran led them directly to a high-end residential area. The walls of the residential area were five to six meters tall and were covered with barbed spikes. The gate of the residential area was exaggerated with rejection horses, sandbags, and more than a dozen crossbows in hand. The bow guards guarded behind them, acting as if they were guarding a military stronghold.
“Manager Liu! We want to rent a villa with a courtyard. These are the owners who came from Crouching Bull Continent to do business …”
Wang Ran walked into the doorstep familiar with the situation. The manager on duty immediately smiled and welcomed them out. However, these people were very cautious. Not only did they ask them many questions, they were also forbidden to bring the crossbows and crossbows in. In the end, they signed up for the entrance plates one by one. The procedures were much more complicated than going to prison to visit them.
“Holy shit! There’s also a ballista …”
As soon as Chen Guangda entered, he smiled bitterly. There were actually a few heavy ballistae behind the courtyard wall. This arrow could pierce through all the buffalo. However, Wang Ran did not find it strange and said, “The people of Lower Sand City are definitely worse than you think. When they go crazy, everyone dares to rob them. Even a big shot like Old Ghost Wu has been robbed!”
As he spoke! Wang Ran took the key and went to a townhouse. Although the villa was not big, it had three floors. There was a small courtyard in front of each house. Wang Ran tied the horse to the door and said, “You guys go in and sit down. I’ll find someone to buy these extra horses and the supplies. Otherwise, it will take up too much space.”
“Is there any currency in circulation here …”
Chen Guangda looked at her curiously. Unexpectedly, Wang Ran took out a stack of cards from his bag and directly stuffed them into his pocket. “This is the bearer food stamp of Sabak Bank. Each one can be exchanged for 1,000 jin of grain. It is considered the hardest currency here. The other banks can’t compete with it. After all, Sabak’s family is located there!”
“Remember! From now on, my name is Chen Guofu …”
Chen Guangda put away the food stamps and glanced at her. Wang Ran immediately nodded and walked out. The men also unloaded the cargo and began to move into the courtyard. Chen Guangda, the shopkeeper, lit a cigarette and led Lin Na and Qig around the neighborhood. At first glance, they had to figure out the surroundings first.
Quite a few kerosene lamps were lit up in the community. Probably because of the tight security here, the occupancy rate here was quite high. Apart from some dangerous houses that could not be occupied, almost every residential building was lit up with quite a few lamps.
Even if they weren’t wealthy and wealthy, their financial conditions wouldn’t be too bad. Therefore, there were quite a few people who came out to take a walk after they had eaten. If they weren’t all armed or had wives and concubines on their waists, it would be hard to tell how different these people were from ordinary residents.
“Eh? There are clothes sellers here. Let’s go in and take a look …”
Qiqig’s eyes suddenly lit up. The first floor of a residential building had been converted into a clothing store. However, there were many shops like this. Beside the clothing store was a beauty salon and a massage parlor. Not far away, there was even a noodle shop and a barber shop. They were basically self-sufficient without leaving the neighborhood.
“You two can go in by yourself. I’ll take a look at the side …”
Chen Guangda directly gave them two thousand jin of food stamps. Qiqi Ge immediately took a mouthful of excitement on his face and pulled Lin Na into the clothing store with great interest. Chen Guangda also put his hands in his pockets and continued to stroll forward, memorizing all the places that were easy to break through.
“You Erhu egg. Zi, your head was kicked by a donkey …”
A loud shout suddenly sounded in front of him. A standard Sujing City dialect immediately attracted Chen Guangda’s attention. He saw a man wearing a flower shirt cursing as he walked. The woman beside him had an aggrieved expression but did not dare to speak. However, Chen Guangda suddenly cried out in shock, “Liu Minghao! Why are you here?”
“Hmm? You … who are you …”
The other party was also stunned. He stared at Chen Guangda in surprise and uncertainty. Only then did Chen Guangda remember that his appearance had changed. He could only cough softly and smile, “Old Liu! You don’t recognize me! Chen Guofu from Class 3 of the Ninth Middle School, the little fatty who runs the bookstore at home!”
“Oh my God! So it’s you! Why are you so thin? I can’t recognize you anymore …”
Liu Minghao immediately rushed forward in surprise. He held onto Chen Guangda’s hand tightly for a while and shook it violently. However, he was actually a classmate of Chen Guangda’s junior high school. Chen Guangda looked at him and said excitedly, “I didn’t expect to meet an old classmate here. It looks like you’re doing well!”
“That’s right! With Brother’s ability, you’re not lacking anywhere …”
Liu Minghao patted his chest and looked at Chen Guangda carefully. However, when he saw that Chen Guangda was covered in mud and dirt, and that his entire body was covered in sweat, he immediately said, “How did you become this kind of person? Who are you running errands for? Oh right! How did you get here?”
“Haha ~ I’m definitely not as good as you. I’m stuck here after traveling to the northwest. Now I’m working for a horse gang in Crouching Bull Continent. I’m doing some hard work …”
Chen Guangda smiled modestly. He was no longer that pretentious and stupid person back then. If he really revealed his identity, his old classmate would definitely be frightened to death. However, Liu Minghao hugged his shoulder and smiled, “What kind of damn strong worker is he? I’ll introduce you to a decent job later. Let’s go!” “Let’s go home for dinner first. I’ll introduce you to my sister-in-law!”
“Wow! Sisters-in-law, you’re so powerful …”
Chen Guangda followed him back with a face full of envy. Chen Guangda thought that he also lived in the villa area. Who would have thought that he would arrive at a high-rise building after taking a few turns? Looking at it from a height of more than 30 floors made people nervous. If he fell down, he would not even have a chance to escape. After all, the magnetic field here was not a joke.
“Let me tell you, my family is the building king here. It’s over 150 square meters. Don’t even think about it if you leave it in our hometown …”
Liu Minghao hugged Chen Guangda and blew away. The cow was about to blow him up. However, Chen Guangda remembered that he was quite honest when he was young. He didn’t expect that he would become this ghost. He clearly heard the woman behind him call him Husband Liu Minghao, but Liu Minghao insisted that she was his nanny.
“Haha ~ Don’t look at the height of this building. I specifically chose this place. Climbing the stairs can exercise my body. For a boss like me, I have to exercise more …”
Liu Minghao panted as he climbed up to the 16th floor. He was so tired that he rolled his eyes and was still blowing. However, after he knocked hard on the door, three beautiful women really appeared. Liu Minghao hugged one of them and said proudly, “Guo Fu! Do you recognize who this is? I asked you if you’re beautiful or not?”
“Of course I do. Who wouldn’t recognize our Great Colonel Hua Wu Yi? You’re so awesome …”
Chen Guang looked at her with a big smile. The woman in the sexy black nightgown also looked at him in shock. But Liu Minghao pinched her butt hard and shouted with a laugh, “Awesome! She used to be the dream lover of all the boys in our school, but now only I can sleep with her. She is my second aunt. Hahaha …”
“Hateful! Darling, who is this? Why don’t I have any impression of him at all …”
Wu Yi punched Liu Minghao coquettishly. Liu Minghao immediately revealed Chen Guangda’s fake identity, but who knew that Wu Yi would cover her mouth and say in shock, “Chen Guofu? Didn’t he get hit by a car long ago? His wife even invited me to the funeral. I didn’t make it because I wanted to go abroad!”
“Sigh ~ The child doesn’t have a mother. It’s all because she was easy to gamble back then …”
Chen Guangda sighed helplessly. However, he really didn’t expect his old classmate to have died long ago. He had no choice but to make up a bunch of lies and prevaricate. Fortunately, he was Liu Minghao’s real classmate, and telling the truth didn’t arouse any suspicions.
“Come, come, come! Hurry up and come in and talk …”
Liu Minghao hurriedly pulled Chen Guangda into his room and introduced his other two wives. Chen Guangda saw that although his home was very spacious and luxurious, it was not difficult to tell from the food usage that Liu Minghao did not have much money and could not even see the slightest bit of meat in the dishes.
“Come! Smoke a cigarette in Greater China. Even if you have money now, you can’t buy this cigarette …”
Liu Ming Hao swaggered around Wu Yi and sat on the sofa as if he was deliberately showing off. He kept touching Wu Yi’s body, but just as Chen Guangda lit the moldy Chinese cigarette, Wu Yi suddenly said, “Darling! Do you feel that the richer the country is, the more like Chen Guangda? I thought it was Chen Guangda when he appeared just now!”
“What? I miss your old lover. She’s just playing with you. You really take yourself seriously …”
Liu Minghao glared at Wu Yi with a face full of displeasure. Chen Guangda immediately covered his mouth and coughed violently. Then, he looked at Wu Yi with tears streaming down his face and said, “Wu Yi! Did you … have a good time with Chen Guang? Why haven’t I heard him mention it before? When did it happen?”
“Ha ~ I dumped him back then. Of course he’s embarrassed to mention it …”
Wu Yi raised her head proudly and lit a cigarette for a lady to show off, “Don’t look at what kind of Southern Barbarian King Chen Guangda is now. Didn’t he lick my feet like a dog back then? If I hadn’t looked at him pitifully, I wouldn’t have bothered to pay him any attention!”
“That’s right! Chen Guangda is just a stinking diaosi, I wonder what kind of shit luck he has …”
Liu Minghao also echoed in anger, but Chen Guangda looked at them with a depressed expression. No wonder he always said that he would not participate in the reunion so easily. Once someone was rich, the other old classmates would be no less jealous than their enemies.
