As we go deeper into Zion
Yi Chen was increasingly impressed by the amazing design of this city.
The street area that we are currently exposed to is divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower.
Different floors are connected by elevators, side stairs and some corridors inside the house.
It should be noted that the area entering through the main gate of the city wall corresponds to the upper block.
In other words, the middle and lower layers are embedded in the mountain.
in addition,
The block is divided into three layers.
There are large gaps between the upper and middle floors, which are connected by circular arch bridges.
The residential buildings in the street area are still mainly Gothic style, with tall and thin spires, clear vertical features, long vertical windows, etc., which are dark and depressing.
Some buildings have obvious stacking characteristics, running from the lower level to the upper level.
in addition,
Most streets are not designed properly.
It does not have the characteristics of convenient access.
There are even iron gates installed at some corners and junctions, giving people a sense of confusion as the place is twisted and divided intentionally.
and,
The entire street area does not have a clear main road, but is more like a multi-layered non-linear maze.
Occasionally, a winding path suddenly appears between inconspicuous houses and buildings, which may lead directly to the other end of the street, saving dozens of minutes of travel time compared to other routes.
Yi Chen observed the complex streets and gave relevant analysis.
“I think there are two reasons for this street design.
1. This city is not a tourist area and is only open to people within the organization.
No matter how complicated the street structure is, as long as the internal staff are familiar enough with it, there will be no problem - it may even be more convenient in some cases.
2. If one day, the disease spreads to the whole world and even touches Zion.
If the infection occurs in the street area after crossing the city wall, such a complex structure can be used for effective and rapid zoning isolation.
in addition,
With enhanced senses,
Yi Chen discovered that these people living in the street area had light steps, simple movements, elegant manners, and even some of the details of their movements were full of power.
Their attire is also quite particular, even every detail is well thought out.
"The people who can live in Zion City must have passed the basic assessment... Even the most ordinary residents may be much stronger than us."
Walking through the ups and downs of the streets,
Yi Chen also noticed many secret stores that did not have any labels but were obviously doing some business.
In addition, some streets and paths were closed and guarded by people dressed in gentlemen's clothing for unknown reasons.
He also found that
Some gentlemen walking on the street also seem to be carrying relatively special pets.
Except for normal pets like parrots and cats,
There are also some small things that can be labeled as monsters, such as a 'dog' tied with an iron chain, with a daisy-shaped mouth and no other facial features, or a large spider with human legs and feet.
There are also some rather mysterious pet shops on the streets. Although the doors are closed, you can still hear strange cries coming from inside.
It’s no wonder that when Yi Chen met other assessors with Little Grape on his shoulder, no one was too surprised.
I think in the organization,
It was common for gentlemen to carry pets with them to assist in combat.
Half an hour
Everyone followed Mr. Jeff who led the way.
When walking onto a stone arch bridge connecting to the opposite street, an individual in strange clothing also came towards them from the other side of the bridge.
Wearing the most iconic bird-beak mask of medieval doctors,
The leather material used in the mask is very special, and you can vaguely see the star-like scars flowing through it.
At the same time, metal eye sockets and nose parts are also embedded.
Mysterious and noble.
However,
In addition to wearing a bird-beak mask, this person was also wearing a white coat, a symbol of modern medicine, and walking barefoot.
Such an image naturally made Yi Chen think of a profession - doctor.
When Mr. Jeff, who was leading the way, saw this person, he immediately took off his hat and saluted like a gentleman.
The accompanying examinees also stopped and bowed.
However.
The mysterious doctor suddenly stopped as he passed by the crowd.
Head tilt,
The metal eye sockets on the bird-beak mask were staring at Yi Chen at the end of the team.
Eerie, even sticky words seeped out from the breathing plug:
&h(Death)… There is a thin but real breath of death flowing through you, where does it come from? "
Yi Chen calmed down and answered in a low voice: "I am from the cemetery in Yinston Town, and I have been working in the cemetery before."
"Just working among the cemeteries, so as not to let death flow through your body... What is your name?"
"William Behrens."
After getting the name, the mysterious doctor said nothing more and turned and left.
After this conversation,
Including Mr. Jeff who was leading the way, everyone looked at Yi Chen.
Blond Edmund even put his arm around his shoulders.
"Wow! Mr. William, you actually got the doctor's attention... This situation is very rare, you really deserve it."
The word doctor,
Yi Chen immediately thought of the organization name G&D, in which "doctor" was one of the important components.
He did not continue to pretend to know, and tried to ask:
"My life in the cemetery is basically isolated from the outside world. I don't quite understand what the so-called doctor means. Can you explain it to me?"
&leman＆Doctor (Gentleman and Doctor),
To put it simply,
A gentleman refers to spiritual purity, eliminating and eradicating the negative spirit brought about by the disease in the world, and being able to conduct self-examination at all times to ensure the perfection and purity of human nature.
Doctors refer to physical cleansing, using the most intuitive means and "medical instruments" to eliminate the root causes of diseases that are prevalent in the world.
Between organizations,
Gentlemen who are granted a "doctor's certificate" are all truly strong people who can eliminate the root cause of the disease.
Of course, there are also some people among them who are proficient in curing diseases and healing injuries. As long as you are not completely dead, they can rescue you even if you have half a foot in the River Styx.
In short, it is very powerful.
Come on, William, with your talent, maybe you can become a doctor one day."
"Thanks."
"We are in the same class, so we must take care of each other in the future."
After some small talk, we continued walking.
The area of Zion City is not too large, but it is not easy to truly explore every corner.
After about an hour and a half of walking,
The streets and buildings gradually became sparse.
The winding streets gradually widen and straighten, turning into a clear main road.
There are exaggerated "gargoyle street lights" on both sides of the road. The gargoyle sculptures are about five meters tall, and they all hold a perpetual kerosene lamp that emits white light in their hands.
At the end of the main road, there is a black bridge.
Open, straight and long,
It is completely different from the previous circular arch bridge and its specifications are not on the same level.
The bridge was still covered with a layer of fog.
Obviously,
The bridge is a "divider" that separates street areas, and the other end may connect to an important area of Zion.
Crossing the nearly 1,000-meter-long black bridge,
The gate at the bridgehead has already been opened.
A huge mansion in the style of an ancient castle stands in it.
The surface of the large rough-hewn stones used to construct the walls gives a visual feeling that is somewhere between a stone surface and a skin.
When Yi Chen gazed at the leather-textured official residence,
A feeling of sadness came over him, and for a moment he was reminded of the Fish Scale Abyss where his consciousness had been before... There seemed to be some secret similarities between the two.
Or a sense of antiquity.
An ultimate antiquity that is far beyond Yi Chen's understanding.
"Is this the "Shenpi Mansion"? "
