Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

In the end, Aning decided to rest outside for one night and take people into this so-called Devil City to investigate early tomorrow morning.

She thought that as long as she brought Wu Xie to contain Zhang Qiling, and it would be best if she brought that girl with her, the journey would be at least half as safe. Aning was very thoughtful, but she didn't expect, or overlooked, that Jiang Xinxin was not under control.

So, in the morning, she pulled Wu Xie over and said to Jiang Xinxin, "And Miss Jiang, you should also come in with us."

Jiang Xinxin refused outright: "I said, I'm just going the same way as you guys, and strictly speaking, I'm going the same way as this Zhang Qiling, what right do you have to arrange for me?"

Jiang Xinxin sat in the chair without moving. Aning had traveled all over the country over the years and was naturally well versed in the ways of the world. Seeing this, he knew that Jiang Xinxin could not be hired, but felt that it would not be a problem with Wu Xie on hand. After apologizing to Jiang Xinxin casually, he took Wu Xie and the guide's grandson into the Devil City.

The people who stayed behind in Aning were quite respectful to Jiang Xinxin. They would come over to ask Jiang Xinxin before eating canned food. Jiang Xinxin reciprocated by saying to them, "I know you guys came out to make money, but this time the Queen Mother of the West Palace is not an ordinary place. Only one out of ten of you will survive, so if you have the opportunity to stay outside to provide support, you should try your best."

When Black Glasses heard this, he couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Xinxin and asked, "From what Miss Jiang said, it seems like you know something about the Queen Mother of the West Palace."

Jiang Xinxin nodded, "I do have some understanding. At least I know that the Queen Mother of the West was a complete tyrant. What she did was nothing at the time. After all, people were also used as sacrifices in the Western Zhou Dynasty. But some of her actions are definitely not acceptable to modern people now."

Jiang Xinxin looked towards the Devil City and chuckled as she said, "And the Queen Mother of the West is an expert. She is an expert who has no equal in any period of history. She is very strong and proficient in mathematics, so she ruled over countless small countries around her. She only took their territories and did not accept their citizens. Instead, she directly used the young and strong as slaves and tortured and killed the elderly and children."

"Such a person has certain so-called supernatural means. So even if this Devil City and its palaces and lands have been vacant for thousands of years, the means of hurting people have only reduced their power."

As supernatural beings, Zhang Qiling and Black Glasses naturally believed what Jiang Xinxin said. Xie Yuchen knew many secrets of the underground world because of his family background, so he also believed it.

Only Aning's men, who were trained abroad, regard many domestic traditions as feudal superstitions, but they believe in the existence of supernatural phenomena and think that everything in the Devil City can be explained by scientific means.

So, they only expressed their gratitude to Jiang Xinxin for her kindness verbally.

Seeing that they didn't quite believe it, Jiang Xinxin didn't say anything else. There is a saying that goes, "Respect the fate of others, let go of the desire to help others, and avoid being moved by yourself."

After walking for a whole morning, Aning and his team found only some footprints of people who had come in before. The footprints were messy and looked like they had encountered some danger. There were no clues. And gradually, the walkie-talkies they carried began to be affected by the magnetic field of the Devil City and started to make noises. After noon, the leader Aning finally lost his temper. Zhaxi, the guide, was almost injured by Aning. It was Wu Xie who saved Zhaxi in time.

Wu Xie pulled Aning over and said to her with a worried look on his face, "You were able to stay calm when it was so dangerous on the bottom of the Xisha Islands before, why are you so angry now that you even stabbed Zhaxi in such a situation?"

After hearing what Wu Xie said, Aning managed to calm down a little, but the irritability in her heart still did not disappear, she just suppressed it.

"You're right. The magnetic field in this place is a little strange. It can make people feel irritated and make wrong decisions."

They continued to move forward for the whole afternoon. Because Wu Xie had advised Zhaxi not to take people on a long journey, they found a shipwreck embedded in the mountain wall in the distance in the afternoon.

At this time, the walkie-talkie in Aning's hand rang again. Aning heard Lao Gao's voice on it, so he quickly took the lead and ran towards the direction of the sunken ship.

As the saying goes, a horse will die if it is too far ahead. When they arrived under the shipwreck, there was only a last bit of sunset light left. Wu Xie suddenly felt frightened and didn't want to go into this dilapidated shipwreck. It was only when Aning threatened Wu Xie with Zhaxi that Wu Xie climbed up reluctantly.

As for the people waiting outside, Zhang Qiling was obviously a little restless because he was worried about Wu Xie, and the man with black glasses was tripped by Xie Yuchen, trying to get news about Wu Sanxing or Xie Lianhuan from him, and Aning's men were only responsible for watching Zhang Qiling and Black Glasses.

Wu Xie and Aning and his team rescued several people from the sunken ship. After they came out, the people who stayed outside had already set up tents and temporary communication equipment. Wu Xie first used the walkie-talkie to explain to Zhang Qiling that he was safe, but Zhang Qiling was still holding back and just said "hmm". Or maybe the man with black glasses couldn't bear it and responded a few times on his behalf.

At night, Black Glasses and Jie Yuchen left the team and went away. Before leaving, Jie Yuchen confirmed that whether it was Zhang Qiling or Black Glasses, in addition to receiving a share of the wages from Aning, they also received a share of the wages from Wu Sanxing or Jie Lianhuan.

Jiang Xinxin hid in the tent and watched TV series for the whole day. She was in a really good mood, so she decided to stay one more night and set off for the Queen Mother of the West Palace early the next morning.

The next morning, two more people came to the camp, and Zhang Qiling seemed to relax a little, which meant that Zhang Qiling knew the people and it was very likely that they were together.

Not caring about the driving skills those two were showing off, Jiang Xinxin packed her backpack and said to Zhang Qiling, "Since you're not leaving yet, I'll go first."

Zhang Qiling quickly picked up his backpack and signaled the two newcomers to follow him. Although the talkative fat man was quite talkative, he still quickly packed up some supplies and followed Zhang Qiling with the one called "Pan Zi".

As for the people left outside by Aning, they wanted to follow, but unfortunately the camp was in a mess because of the fat man's reckless driving, and a lot of supplies were stolen from them. It would be best for them to report to Aning first, then pack up the remaining supplies and follow Aning's arrangements.
