Alien Dust

Chapter 379: Fellow Villager Stuck in the Quagmire
"There are two biggest hidden dangers in Predator City. One is that evil spirits are prone to breed, and the other is that gaps are prone to appear. Because of constant mergers, there are many factions in the ruling class, and they have no sense of belonging. Once they see no hope of dominating this city, they may defect to the hostile forces." Levi became serious.

Wu Hen didn't quite understand this either.

He came to this conclusion based on his own reasonable speculation and his observation of the entire city just now.

"But we can't change anything now. Chi Luo is determined to hunt the evil people in the stronghold." Wu Hen said.

"Let's notify our own people first and tell them to prepare for battle and evacuation," Levi said.

"I feel that it will be more difficult for us to escape this time, especially if the Grand Canyon City is prepared. We might be bound by a giant net as soon as we fall from the height." Wu Hen expressed his concerns.

Levi was also in a dilemma.

He had tried his best to dissuade him, but after all, he was a newly promoted deputy mayor, so how could he possibly compete with Mayor Chiluo, who had already formed a stubborn faction?

Although after this decision, Mayor Chi Luo will most likely be cursed by the whole nation and all commanders will no longer obey his orders, his decision will bring ruin to the entire Iron Eagle City...

It looked like a small evil stronghold, but in the eyes of Wu Hen and Lie Wei, it was no different from the abyss of hell.

The closer we get to this evil stronghold, the stronger the bad feeling becomes.

"In fact, I know the engine of the Evil City very well. This city was designed by a close friend of mine. He originally designed it for use by those alien caravans, so that they could gather together like one post station after another to conduct free trade, and then naturally disintegrate when they need to purchase and move forward."

"I just didn't expect that such a unique design would attract the attention of bandits. Most of these wooden armor engines have become dens for criminals, making it easier for them to form gangs and strongholds, and also making it more difficult for us to catch them."

Levi looked at the evil stronghold and couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you actually want to take back this technology?" Wu Hen asked.

"There's no question of taking it back. After all, this technology has already spread thoroughly among those people with ulterior motives, and it can't be banned at all... You and I are thinking the same thing, right? If Iron Eagle City attacks the Evil Stronghold, it will most likely be caught by the Grand Canyon City, and it will be impossible to break free. So we have to find a way out for ourselves and the people in our town, at least we can't become the slag of the Grand Canyon City." Levi said.

"Yes, the Grand Canyon City is too powerful. Even if I try my best, I may not be able to defeat it. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall... Once the general offensive is launched, I may have to retreat with Mr. Ding." Wu Hen no longer concealed his thoughts.

“The lives of the people in Iron Eagle City have nothing to do with me, but those old friends in this town…” Levi felt heavy-hearted.

Although he was only one step away from the final position of mayor, he also knew that he could not avoid this disaster.

Wu Hen could just leave.

What should he do? He couldn't just abandon the residents of Prison Town.

"I can stay and help you, but you have to have a reasonable plan to ensure our safety." Wu Hen is not a heartless person.

Now the pressure is on Levi.

He needs to come up with a decision that can protect everyone in the town.

Le Wei is a smart man, and he understands what Wu Hen means.

He shifted his gaze to the bird's-eye view screen, and through the thin layer of clouds he could see the evil fortress among the rotten wood and Metasequoia. The overall wooden structure of the fortress had a hint of simplicity and gave people a sense of tranquility, but it was inhabited by a group of extremely vicious criminals who were also proficient in how to control living towns.

"I have an idea."

"Once Iron Eagle City is caught in a tough battle, we will all sneak into the Evil Stronghold, and then use the Wood Armor Stronghold technology to quickly escape to different places in the swamp. After everything is over, we will gather together through the positioning of the Wood Armor technology. In this way, even if Iron Eagle City is defeated, everyone can survive. In other words, no matter who wins in the end, we all have escape options." Levi said.

"That's a good idea!" Wu Hen said with a smile.

"But we need to eliminate all the evildoers in the city in time..."

"Didn't you build a new prison? That's where they should be." Wu Hen said.

Le Wei also laughed. If Wu Hen was willing to help him, then it would not be so difficult to implement his plan to relocate the residents of this small town!
"There is still one day before the attack. I will tell this plan to people I trust. The people in the town also trust them and will follow them to do anything." Levi said.

"Okay... I've got nothing to do anyway, so why don't I go into the evil stronghold first?" Wu Hen said.

"That's great." Levi nodded.

……

There are still twenty-three hours left until the attack countdown.

Iron Eagle City is currently setting up underground confinement devices around the evil stronghold to prevent the stronghold from being dismantled and escaping, which will indeed take some time.

Wu Hen left Iron Eagle City and went directly to the Evil City.

After passing through the rotten leaves and bypassing the lake, the fortress was located in a relatively clean Metasequoia forest. In front of the fortress gate, you could occasionally see caravans coming in and out.

The owners of the Evil Castle are not stupid. They would not hang a black skull flag in front of the gate of the castle and then let a few scarred men stand on the top of the city with bad intentions.

They have clean flags and even have some pretty women represent the facade of the fortress to welcome travelers passing through. When many travelers see the many pink lanterns hanging in the fortress and the graceful older sisters waving at them, they naturally understand what is going on after being tired from the journey!
Anyway, they had just made some money and could just enjoy themselves in this city.

Most of the villains inside are dressed as vendors, cooks, guards, merchants, craftsmen, and technical masters. When you step into this fortress, you will never realize that more than half of the people here are fugitives. They are not much different from an ordinary mobile trading town.

Wu Hen observed for a while and realized that this evil fortress also had a daytime side, which was to maintain a simple trading style as much as possible to attract travelers, merchants, and wandering groups passing by here...

And they have their main business, just like any other small town.

Their main business is that after dark, those gorgeously dressed older sisters will be driven out by some ferocious people to do business.

In most cases, people in the Evil City will not commit crimes.

If they should do the pimping business, they should do it peacefully. After all, even if he is a vicious bandit, he lives like an honest citizen most of the time. It is impossible for him to survive until now if he has fought and killed so many times.

Wu Hen is also a veteran in business K.

In order to better integrate into the atmosphere of the walled city, he rushed to the door to order a female companion as soon as he entered the walled city.

The female tour guide will take you around the city like a little guide, bring you to delicious restaurants, and chat with you to relieve your boredom. Men on business trips like this model the most, as it is like renting a temporary girlfriend.

Wu Hen didn't mean to adapt to local customs.

The main reason was that he didn't want to be suspected by the managers of the Evil City.

"Young man, let me tell you, they are all ladies from prominent families in this small town. The damn plundering war caused their families to be broken up, and they had no choice but to come here to do odd jobs. But let me make it clear, they will only accompany you to play and chat, and you must not have any other ideas..." A skinny man introduced them with a smile.

The girls stood in a row in front of the door, allowing Wu Hen to choose.

Wu Hen looked at them one by one, and finally chose a young woman with smarter eyes.

Appearance is not important. I'm not really here to visit a brothel.

The main thing is to learn about the situation here from the girl and find out the leaders of this evil city!
"Go ahead, accompany me out for fun, and don't stay out all night." The pimp pushed the woman chosen by Wu Hen.

There was a hint of vigilance in the woman's eyes, but she hid it well. She deliberately forced out a charming smile, then gently took Wu Hen's arm and wanted to take Wu Hen to the golden Metasequoia tree in the city.

The golden Metasequoia stands in the center of the city. Its leaves are like pieces of golden gold, covering the stone brick floor underfoot. The stone bricks are just pale blue in color, giving the city a sense of autumnal beauty.

"I like sitting here and daydreaming. You can try it too. Many troubles will disappear." The woman said with a smile.

"I don't know your name yet." Wu Hen asked.

"Oh, my name is... Chen Yuanyuan." The woman obviously hesitated for a moment before saying her name.

As a fourth-level clairvoyant, a person's micro-expressions are actually very clear.

Although the woman was good at disguising herself and would show weakness, Wu Hen was able to see through all her emotions.

There is a hint of disgust and a hint of helplessness, but he always maintains a strong temperament and tries hard to disguise himself as another pleasing self so that he can be in a safer situation.

"What about you?" The woman took the initiative to ask Wu Hen's name.

"My last name is Wu..." Wu Hen paused, then added his name, "Sangui."

"Wu Sangui???" The woman who called herself Chen Yuanyuan widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. "Haha, sir, don't make such a joke."

"You were the one who joked with me first. Your name is Chen Yuanyuan and my name is Wu Sangui." Wu Hen said.

The woman was completely stunned, and then her eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy, mixed with a few crystal tears...

Fellow countryman!!
Wu Hen noticed the sudden change in the woman's expression and immediately understood.

When I observed her eyes before, I felt that her eyes were filled with the unique charm of a fellow villager.

It turns out that we are fellow villagers!
Still stuck in the quagmire.
