Star of Civilization

v2 Chapter 40: City of Tomorrow (6)

The distance between the leader of the guardian and the bald elder brother Laobai was invisibly approaching, and then approaching, and finally the heads of the two almost touched each other, as if they were whispering and discussing something.

Because it was too far away, Joyna couldn't hear the other party's conversation at all, but she could vaguely feel that Lao Bai was talking about herself.

She didn't dare to relax for a moment, stared at those people, quietly wrapped layers of bandages on her hands, touched her calf quietly, and pulled out the fangs dagger.

She had previously installed a dagger handle for this powerful weapon, just to make it easier to use.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the bald brother, Lao Bai, and then hammered the opponent on the chest, while the leader of the guards on the opposite side stretched out a thick arm and put an arm around the bald brother's neck.

The two actually crossed their shoulders, waving their other hand from time to time, and walked towards the rear tent, chatting and laughing.

"What's going on?" Joyna was stunned.

Isn't the most important thing now to convince the other party and let the team let go? Why did they walk away talking and laughing, regardless of this side?

Joyna's nerves were instantly tense, and she had a bad premonition.

The thing she was worried about happened quickly, and the other guards did not leave, but looked at her in unison. I saw six or seven strong men walking with their heads held high, and some even took out their weapons from their bodies!

"Hey! All the people in the car get off for me. You can't enter the city today." A thug shouted at the side.

What? ! Can't get in?

Joyna's heart suddenly trembled, what the **** are these guys doing?

After hesitating for a while, she put the snake-tooth dagger back, and decided to get out of the car to see the situation first. At this time, several people from the other party had come to the front and surrounded her.

"Why can't we get in today?" Joyna jumped out of the car and walked towards the group of people, her eyes burning brightly, and she asked in a low voice.

Seeing Joyna's dirty body and a shabby cloak that looked like a beggar, the guards all laughed.

The laughter was full of sarcasm, and Joyner immediately felt insulted.

"Why? No why!"

A fat man with a huge cooked leather shoulder armor slung across his upper body stepped forward, shook his head, looked at Joyna carefully, and said coldly, "This is an order from above!"

This guy has a fat head and big ears, and his face is full of flesh. I don't know if he ate too much worm cakes. His weight is estimated to be twice that of Joyna, so he should be a small leader.

Command from above?

Joyna's heart moved, and she immediately thought of the strange look in Lao Bai's eyes when he left.

"Old Bai told me before that he would be able to enter the city later. Did he ask you to say that?"

"Old Bai?" The fat man looked at the people on both sides and said with a dry smile, "Heh—it's not Lao Bai who has the final say in this place, and he's not our boss, so who has the right to order us?"

"Whose order was that...?"

Hearing this, Joyna's face sank.

"The slaves in the car have also come down. This car is now being impounded by us." Fatty did not answer her directly, but instead shouted loudly.

Seize?

Not right!

So wrong!

Joyna felt that Lao Bai betrayed her, and Fatty obviously said that on purpose. Her arms fell beside her, ready to draw her weapon.

Although she had a hunch before, she always felt that even if she started, she had to wait until she entered the hidden sand castle, but she didn't expect the change to come so soon.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that a thug was about to open the car door, Joyna took a stride to stop it and stopped.

"Why, are you going to resist us?" The fat man scratched his fat chin with one hand and winked at the same time, the thug stopped.

"It's not your first time here, is it?"

Joyna didn't speak, with murderous intent in her eyes.

"He! What a terrible look..."

Seeing Joyna's appearance, the fat man took a step back exaggeratedly, and said sullenly, "This is the rule of the Hidden Sand Castle. People who come here for the first time must be quarantined and checked to make sure that they are not infected with diseases in the wild. Then you can enter the city. You can’t come in and out at will with a cart of slaves!”

Slaves to be quarantined...?

Joyna had long heard of the many brutal rules of Hidden Sand Castle. For example, slavery was legal in this place, and the legality was guaranteed by the strong force of the guardians.

Slaves entered the city through legal trade, while escaped slaves were hunted down and severely punished if caught. Men would be amputated or tortured to death, and women would be handed over to the men in the settlements like livestock.

In order to maintain the authority of the system, within the sphere of influence of the Hidden Sand Castle covering a radius of hundreds of miles, a troop of hunters will be sent to hunt down the escaped slaves from each settlement. Even if they are not caught, it is difficult for the slaves hiding in the villages to escape without any means of transportation to escape this area on foot.

The surrounding mountains are either bare mountains or boundless wilderness, and to the southwest is a large swamp and vast waters. Either way, there are harsh environments and numerous deadly mutants waiting to kill these humans.

Georgina looked at each other coldly, but remained silent. At this distance, with her skill, she can bring down the guys in front of her at any time.

But after thinking for a moment, she finally chose to compromise and asked, "Then when will we be able to enter the city?"

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe ten days and a half months, who knows..." Fatty glanced at the others and said casually.

"You should know that I'm Brother Hui's subordinate, right?"

"Ah, Brother Hui? Hahaha, Lai Touhui right!" Fatty sneered, suddenly raised his voice, and said fiercely, "Is that maggot still dead? I think you are no different from those idiots who pick up garbage. Right? The end of trash is the same anyway."

Rubbish?

Joyna's pupils shrank, and it seemed that there was no room for discussion.

She walked straight to Fatty, grabbed his arm suddenly, twisted it lightly, and heard the sound of bones breaking.

"Wow—" Fatty knelt down in pain, his face extremely distorted.

"Get in the car!" Joyna coldly ordered ~lightnovelpub.net~ She was not even in the mood for this kind of **** nonsense.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden change. They were dumbfounded. After a long while, they pulled out their weapons in horror. Several black crossbow arrows were aimed at Joyna.

But the fat man was in her hands, and the gang didn't dare to do anything casually.

"You are courting death, dare to offend us... ah!"

A scream!

Before the words were finished, Joyna had already grabbed his other arm and crushed his arm with force!

"Big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong! I'll get in the car right now." The man screamed, no longer dared to talk nonsense, kneeling all the way in front of Joyna, and walked towards the truck with difficulty.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned again.

They couldn't believe that this thin guy was so powerful that he not only twisted Fatty's arm, but also tore off the belt on his chest, and his shoulder armor collapsed.
