Return from the second dimension

After the huge steel convoy passed through the city gate, the scene that appeared in front of them was not a wide street, but an empty field full of weeds.

This place was deserted and deserted, and even a ghost was invisible, revealing a sense of bleak and run-down.

Not even as long as the long street where they were before, at least not so monotonous, desolate, and desperate.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, which is their mood at this time.

The joy of conquering the city gate was also at this moment like being splashed with cold water, slowly cooling down.

"What the hell, this is the legendary high-end neighborhood, why doesn't it look like it?"

The dwarf widened his eyes in doubt, looked around, and said in a depressed tone.

"It's really wrong. Is it because the rumors are wrong and deliberately deceived us poor people?"

Another desperate person said that this was a desperate person who had just followed Tang Zhen. Because he was very brave in battle, he was personally guarded by Tang Zhenxiong.

Although Xiao Wu and the others did not speak, there was a trace of disappointment on their faces, which could be seen with eyes.

They had imagined countless times the scene after they went to the high-end neighborhood, but they didn't expect it to be the scene before them?

Could it be that the legendary high-level neighborhood is just a big lie to deceive the desperate, but the real situation is actually extremely cruel?

It is not impossible that desperate people who have been driven mad, imagine high-end neighborhoods, and then tell them to others.

Because the existence of high-class blocks conforms to the illusions in the hearts of other desperate people, it will be rumored and spread among the desperate people more and more?

If so, what is the point of all their struggles?

Sure enough, it is a city of despair, always inadvertently, let you experience what is true despair.

When everyone was talking and gradually frustrated, Tang Zhen frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong in front of him.

In this huge field, he felt the mysterious power again, which seemed to surround the ground and surroundings.

Gently closed his eyes and poured the mysterious power in his mind into his eye sockets, then Tang Zhen concentrated his attention and looked at the square in front of him again.

The scene that appeared before his eyes again was an empty square, clearly a stinking swamp with black air rising.

Looking at the swamp, once he stumbled and fell, I was afraid that there would be no chance of getting out. It is estimated that he would be swallowed by mud in the blink of an eye.

In the slimy mud, there are constantly black bubbles tumbling out, and from time to time a pair of skeletons stick out their heads.

They appear from time to time, like fish, constantly wandering up and down in the mud.

More skeletons just lie on the side of the road, watching the desperate with greedy eyes, as if waiting for them to move forward and enter this swamp.

There was indeed a square at Tang Zhen's feet, but this square was a narrow one. After extending for a certain distance, it suddenly became thin and narrow, winding to the front.

If you stupidly go all the way without seeing the truth, one hundred percent will fall into the swamp.

At that time, he will either be suffocated to death by the foul-smelling mud, or be eaten by that terrible skeleton, or even become one of them after death.

After seeing through the illusion in front of him, Tang Zhen shook his head slightly. The designer of this passage of the secret passage was really vicious in his mind.

The desperate man worked so hard to collect evidence, but when he got here, he was deceived and fell into the swamp and lost his life. That was really unstoppable.

However, is the truth of the matter really as you guessed it?

Tang Zhen felt that things were not that simple. If he really wanted to deceive the desperate, there was actually no need for such a big battle.

Therefore, there must be something you don't understand in it, and you can't make a conclusion.

While he was pondering in secret, his desperate men escorted a few more prisoners. They were all guards who turned out from the corner after entering the city gate.

Perhaps they had seen the ferocity of the desperate. When these prisoners were pressed over, all their faces were pale and their bodies trembling.

Tang Zhen glanced at these prisoners, waved gently, and motioned for them to stand up from the ground.

The prisoners didn't understand the situation, but they stood up obediently, standing together with their chests and hands, not daring to look up at Tang Zhen directly.

"I can give you a chance to let you walk over from the front. As long as anyone can walk over, I will spare his life. Do you dare to bet?"

Hearing Tang Zhen's words, several prisoners desperately shook their heads, obviously they also knew how dangerous the square in front of them was.

"Why don't you dare? Is it possible that what is said in this square?"

Tang Zhen asked knowingly, wanting to see if these prisoners would tell the truth.

"Let's not hide it, we only know that after passing through this square, we will be able to reach the high-level block ahead.

But if you want to pass smoothly, you must pay a hundred vouchers and get a special item at the same time.

It is said that only after wearing it, can you see the obstacles and avoid the death traps in this square.

It is said that the purpose of this is to prevent some stowaways who have not obtained the certificate from sneaking past the city gate to the high-level neighborhood.

The facts have proved that this is indeed very effective.

In my decades as a guard, I have seen at least hundreds of stowaways crossing the city wall, but when passing through the square, they all fell into death traps, and eventually there were no bones left!"

An older prisoner explained to Tang Zhen, and his statement was basically consistent with what Tang Zhen observed.

If things are as he said, it means that the high-end neighborhoods really exist, and there is no problem with the passage in front.

So if they pass through the city gates through normal channels, they will surely get the so-called special items, and see through the illusions before them.

After clarifying all this, Tang Zhen lost interest, and did not continue to delve into this square.

In fact, it is just the most basic defensive method. There is nothing unusual about it, but the effect is surprisingly good.

What interests him most is these guards. Looking at them, you can see that they are also ordinary despairers, but they just don’t know why they become the guards here?

When Tang Zhen asked this question, the prisoners did not dare to conceal it, and quickly answered the truth: "In fact, we were desperate, but we were from a high-class neighborhood. We were sent here to serve just because we owed too much money.

We have to serve here for a hundred years before we have the opportunity to leave here and return to the high-end neighborhood.

If you die during the service, you can only blame yourself for bad luck.

Even if he survived until the end of his service, but returned to the high-end neighborhood empty-handed, he might not survive long."

Hearing the explanations of these prisoners, Tang Zhen frowned and said, "As you said, this high-class neighborhood may not be as beautiful as imagined?"

The old captive laughed miserably, and said with emotion: "Actually, I have been a guard here for decades, but I like it better.

Although it is extremely lonely and dry here, at least there is a supply of rations, so don't worry about getting hungry.

Don't worry about it, like the desperate people in the low-level neighborhoods, being chased by night watchers will never be safe.

The most important point is that you don't have to bear the life of money in the high-end neighborhoods. It's actually the greatest blessing to live this life blandly like this."

In these words of the old prisoner, there is a vicissitudes of seeing through the world. It is obvious that he has also experienced torture in the past life.

Tang Zhen was not in the mood to pay attention to the other party's emotions, but asked: "What kind of steps do you need to become a defender here?"

Hearing Tang Zhen's question, the old prisoner thought for a while, and then replied: "You only need to pick up the military card from the corpse, or go to the warehouse and find a military card. After you bring it on your body, you will become the guard of the city gate by default. ."

Tang Zhen nodded. If it was really that simple, it would be a good way to arrange these desperate people under him.
