Nanhuangzhou is very big.
If you look at it from a high altitude, you can see the shape of its plate, which is an irregular oval, surrounded by the sea.
Although it is far from Wanggu Continent, separated by the endless sea, it is more like an island land, but the scope is vast, and many people can't finish it in a lifetime.
It's just that most of the places in it are difficult for the human race to step into, and they are blocked by the truth mountain range that runs through the entire Nanhuang Continent.
The southwest of the truth mountain range is an extremely vast restricted area.
It occupies nearly 70% of the area of Nanhuang Continent, and only the northeast area of the truth mountain range is the place where the human race lives.
Even so, there are not many human races.
In this northeastern region, there are numerous large and small cities, some solid, some simple.
However, the places where these cities were built avoided the small restricted areas in the northeast region.
When there is a choice, no one wants to live around the restricted area. Living in a crisis where danger will come at that moment, only the desperadoes will be forced to gather together in a last resort, red-eyed, licked. Struggling to survive.
As a result, scavenger camps were formed, and such camps appeared around almost every restricted area. Looking at the entire human race area, the number of scavenger camps was very mixed.
Standing on the top of the mountain at this moment, what caught Xu Qing's eyes was such a camp.
From a distance, the camp is not very big, and it looks like hundreds of people live in it.
Perhaps because of the early morning, the smoke curled up from the cooking. Although it was not as prosperous as the city, it was still very lively.
There were faint shouts of shouting, swearing, shouting, and unbridled laughter, intertwined and spread far away.
It's just that the valuable houses in Thunder Team's mouth, from the inside to the outside, the structure is more and more simple, and the outermost is basically just a tent.
As for the camp not far behind, it is a dark jungle.
The mist was shrouded there, as if a terrifying existence was hidden.
Even if the sky is full of sunshine, it can't all reflect it. If there are gods and demons, the indifference will shock all directions.
It is also like the black alienation point on the human body, which is shocking and distinct from other areas.
"How do you feel when you see it?" On the top of the mountain, Lei Dui said.
"It's almost like a slum." Xu Qing thought about it and answered truthfully.
Team Lei smiled, didn't speak, and walked forward.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and followed Lei Team, the two of them descended the mountain all the way, getting closer and closer to the camp.
On the way, I also met people who came back from outings in twos and threes, and they all wore similar clothes, mainly dark gray leather jackets.
Xu Qing noticed that when these people saw Lei Team, they all showed awe in their expressions, and most of their eyes swept towards themselves with curiosity.
This made Xu Qing have more guesses about Lei Team's identity.
In this way, when the sun was three poles, Xu Qing followed the Lei team, walked into the plain below the mountain, and walked into the camp of the scavengers.
There is no city wall in the camp, and the ground is also very messy, dusty, with dead leaves and garbage everywhere, and it feels a little smoky.
And as he came, the sound he heard on the mountain before came into Xu Qing's ears more clearly.
In addition to the simple buildings, there are also many scavengers.
Some are as tall and burly as a remnant cow, some are skinny and sinister, and some are so old that they seem to be unable to open their eyes, but it seems that no one dares to provoke them.
There are also some young people like him, huddled in the corner, staring at the sky.
Some of them are disabled.
There are still many people here. Xu Qing closed his eyes slightly after seeing it. The breath of those people made him feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy.
All kinds of people, some are buying and selling, some are fighting with each other, and some are lying on the boulder and basking in the sun.
Others walked out of the tents with bright feathers in their trousers, with lewd expressions on their faces.
Xu Qing walked into the camp with the Thunder Team, and to outsiders, it seemed like he had entered hell.
But apart from his inner vigilance, there is nothing unusual about him, and he even has some vaguely familiar feelings.
"It's really similar to a slum." Xu Qing murmured in his heart, and glanced at the tents with feathers, and saw a figure with white flowers inside.
Even inside a tent, a young woman dressed in sassy clothes walked out, with laziness, smiled and waved to Xu Qing.
"Don't look around." Lei Dui glanced at Xu Qing.
"I know where it is." Xu Qing looked back and replied.
The wrinkles on Lei Dui's face piled up with a dumb smile, and without saying anything, he took Xu Qing through the camp until he reached his destination.
It was a huge wooden building in the center of the camp, in a ring shape like a Colosseum.
Xu Qing was observing along the way, and he had already constructed most of the map of the camp in his mind.
This is his habit. In many cases, familiarity with the environment can often change the situation of a crisis.
At this moment, he looked up at the Colosseum-like building in front of him, and noticed that in addition to the huge field, there were many simple benches inside.
"Devouring the Starry Sky: Sign In to God"
In addition, there are bursts of roars of fierce beasts, coming from the inside of this building.
There are also some wooden shed-like row houses around, and there are a few scavengers who are clearly dressed in clean clothes talking and laughing outside the row houses.
With the arrival of Thunder Team, a thin middle-aged man walked out of the Colosseum very quickly.
This person was wearing a long gown different from that of the scavengers, with a three-way beard on his face, and he also had psionic fluctuations on his body. When he walked over, he made a perfunctory tug at the skin, glanced at Xu Qing, and then looked at Lei Dui.
"Newbie?"
"The rules are already known." Lei Dui spoke slowly.
"What's your name?" Sanbihu asked casually.
"A little kid, if you have a name, just call it a kid." Lei Dui said lightly.
"Then come with me, kid, you are lucky, there are already a few in front of you, and the game will start almost tomorrow."
San Kui Hu sighed, turned and walked towards the row house.
Xu Qing glanced at Team Thunder.
"Go, I'll pick you up tomorrow." Lei Dui looked at Xu Qing with some expectations in his eyes.
Xu Qing gave Lei Dui a deep look, nodded, didn't speak, and walked behind San Kui Hu.
Until they got to the row house, the three-legged Hu explained a few words to the scavenger beside him, then turned and left.
And Xu Qing was also arranged into the row house and was told that he was not allowed to go out without permission.
The moment he stepped into this row of houses, Xu Qing saw four pairs of eyes in different positions in the house, converging on him.
It was three young men of his age and one young man, three men and one woman.
The two teenagers seemed to be a few years older than him.
As for the girl, she was a little younger than Xu Qing, huddled in a corner, with a huge scar on her face.
She watched everything around her nervously and vigilantly, including the original three and the new Xu Qing.
As for the eldest young man here, it seems that he was originally a scavenger, but now he just changed his camp.
So after seeing Xu Qing, the corner of his mouth twitched, a little disapproving, he turned his eyes away, aggressively, stared at the girl in the corner, and licked his lips.
But obviously he has not officially obtained the right to live in the camp, and he does not dare to be presumptuous now.
Xu Qing ignored them, found a place by the door, crossed his knees and closed his eyes, and meditated silently.
Time passed slowly, perhaps because Xu Qing's arrival was too quiet, the three people in the house, except the little girl, ignored her and started talking with each other.
In the words of the two teenagers, it is obvious that they have the intention to please the youth.
Most of the content discussed is related to this trial.
Through their conversations, Xu Qing knew that the camp would hold a trial every once in a while when enough people wanted to obtain residency qualifications.
The rules of the trial are simple.
Because the owner of this camp has kept many mutant beasts in captivity, the trial for obtaining residence qualifications is to draw lots in public and fight against the beasts that have been drawn.
Live or die, each other's prey.
The survivors can take away the spoils and obtain residency qualifications.
For the deceased, everything in himself will become food for the beasts.
And every trial will be held in this Colosseum.
At that time, the scavengers in the camp will buy tickets to watch this bloody scene. While getting pleasure from it, the camp owner will also make a bet to make a profit.
In this cruel world, human life is worthless.
But if you are not qualified to enter the city, and you cannot enter the camp, and you live alone in the wild, the risk of death will be even greater.
Of course, slums are also an option, but obviously those who can decide to enter the scavenger camp have their own stories of having to come here.
Xu Qing listened while meditating.
Until they were talking, when they talked about the opening of the gods' eyes many days ago, a young man suddenly spoke.
"When I came, I heard that you were the survivor of that catastrophe?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
When he looked at it, he noticed that the object of the boy's words was not himself, but the little girl in the corner.
The little girl trembled and nodded silently.
Xu Qing's eyes fell on the little girl.
Everyone else has heard of it, and he has experienced all this, so he deeply knows that the people who can survive the catastrophe and come here may not be as fragile and simple as the eyes see.
Seemingly noticing Xu Qing's gaze, the little girl raised her head to look at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing closed his eyes again and continued to meditate. He wanted to spend all the time to cultivate, which was the basis for him to live a better life.
Just like that, the night passed.
The next morning, along with the chaos and clamor from the outside world, the door of the townhouse was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The sun shone in, covering the body of the scavenger standing at the door, his shadow fell into the house, and when the figure of the little girl in the corner was shrouded, there was a cold voice.
"Pack up and follow me, it's time for your good show."
"Finally waited."
The young man in the house who seemed to be a scavenger was the first to get up, walked over with a smile, and said hello to the person at the door.
The two teenagers quickly followed, Xu Qing was the fourth to walk out, and the little girl was the last.
The scavenger at the door seemed to know the young man. After laughing and cursing, he ignored the others and walked towards the Colosseum with the young man.
As they approached, the noises, clamors, and shouts became stronger and stronger.
After the group of them stepped into the Colosseum, the sound of the surrounding suddenly erupted.
It can be seen that there are more than 100 people on the benches around the Colosseum at this moment, there are men and women, as if surrounded by a group of demons, watching a good show together.
Their voices were loud, the little girl trembled obviously, and the two teenagers were also pale.
Only the young man looked at the audience with excitement in his eyes.
Then there is Xu Qing, his expression did not change much, and he began to observe the environment of the fighting area in the Colosseum.
"The range is not very large, it is not suitable for pulling, there is no cover, and it is not suitable for dodging."
"The surrounding wooden boards are very high, which is not suitable for drawing danger to the viewing table, but there are several door marks, and it seems that there are other passages."
"So... Either you can use the shouts of those scavengers to frighten the beasts and find an opportunity to take action, but it may also cause the beasts to rage, so it is most beneficial to have a quick solution."
