Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 454 [Tree Heart] 23

Feng Lan heard the soldier's words, Liu Qi heard them, and the other people in the queue around him also heard them.

The people in the queue naturally had no reaction. After all, they were not from the city. Although the soldiers guarding the city had low ranks, they were able to stop them honestly. As the saying goes, little devils are difficult to deal with, and these soldiers are the best at judging the situation and responding accordingly. It is normal for those at the bottom to be scolded.

Liu Qi didn't think so.

Liu Qi, who was originally looking at Yucheng happily, suddenly turned his head. Fine hairs grew uncontrollably on his face, his eyes turned golden, his sharp teeth were exposed, and he looked at the soldier viciously.

Feng Lan grabbed Liu Qi's face fiercely, hiding the abnormality on his face from others. At the same time, he glanced at the soldier. The soldier's expression remained unchanged when Feng Lan and Liu Qi looked at him. He even pushed Feng Lan and Liu Qi with disdain, "Pay the money and leave quickly. If not, get out!"

As he spoke, a layer of blue and black appeared on the soldier's forehead. As he cursed Feng Lan, the blue and black on his face became darker and darker, covering most of his face.

But this was not done by Feng Lan. It was just that she had a lot of merits. The soldier scolding her was equivalent to scolding a person with great merits, which was detrimental to her verbal karma. There would be at least one bloody disaster in the next few days.

Liu Qi listened to the man's contempt and twisted and struggled angrily. Feng Lan had no choice but to wipe his eyelids so that he could see the bruises on the soldier's face. Liu Qi then smiled and turned back, continuing to look left and right at the paper donkey.

"Wulian Tianzun, God is watching what we do." Feng Lan said this and dodged the soldier's hand. The unprepared soldier would have been fine, but a stone from somewhere on the ground made him stumble and fall heavily. When he fell, the spear in his hand just happened to scratch his left cheek to the right cheek, leaving a hideous wound through his lip, and blood was flowing down.

"what……"

"It's amazing!"

"Retribution so soon?!"

Feng Lan and Liu Qi ignored the wailing and whispering of the crowd behind them, and walked into Yucheng leading the paper donkey.

A ding-ding-ding green tram passed by Liuqi along the tracks. Inside, electric lights, unlike candlelight, shone brightly. Through the polished windows, one could see a man in a suit, glasses, and slicked-back hair; a beautiful woman in a slim-fitting cheongsam, a young student with pigtails clutching a book; a middle-aged man in a neat Mao suit; and a scholar in a traditional long gown...

As the tram passed by, tall buildings appeared behind it, lined up one after another, and the gorgeous and complicated foreign companies were particularly eye-catching. Under the tall and exquisite stone pillars, many rickshaw drivers with shoulder cloths gathered. A few steps away was a spotless glass, in which were placed all kinds of expensive and astronomical items. The guard in the black and red uniform stood upright at the door, silent like a stone sculpture, and would only move when someone entered or exited the gate, and raise his hand to open the door.

Walking to the right is the concession. In addition to the tall foreign hotel, there are also various department stores. Even in the early morning, these signs are flashing dazzling colorful lights, attracting people into the stores.

"Newspapers for sale! New newspapers! Huicheng has fallen! The Jiaoben Kingdom is marching into Huicheng, and Marshal Ge is missing! The National Army has suffered another defeat on the battlefield!"

Newspaper boys cleverly weave through the crowd, shouting out sensational headlines just to sell their papers. But these headlines are indeed very attractive, and most people choose to spend a few cents to read what the newspapers say.

"Is this true? Huicheng is so close to Yucheng, how come we haven't heard anything about it?"

"Marshal Ge is missing. He was stationed in Huicheng with tens of thousands of troops. How could he not hold out with so many?"

"Give me a newspaper!"

"Little boy, give me one! Don't squeeze me!"

"I want a newspaper!"

Amid the noisy crowd running towards the newsboy, Feng Lan and Liu Qi walked against the flow of people, leading the paper donkey into the Jade City. Between the light and shadow, the crowded crowd became the background.

"So many people!"

Liu Qi clung to the paper donkey, feeling terrified. Although he was agile, he was too small to squeeze through the crowd.

"Da da da."

A rhythmic sound of footsteps passed by Feng Lan and Liu Qi. Feng Lan looked in the direction of the footsteps and saw a dark-skinned man wearing a long black windbreaker and a hat that covered most of his face squeezed into the crowd. He had a cold and steady temperament, and he locked onto Feng Lan the moment she saw him. His eyes, as cold as a cold pond yet as if burning with flames, caught her eye, and after a glance without any emotion, he quickly looked away.

"Click."

Feng Lan heard the sound of bullets being loaded, and she took Liu Qi and took two quick steps to squeeze out of the crowd.

"Bam—"

"Ah - someone is dead!"

"Blood! So much blood!"

"Help!"

The sound of gunfire and the panicked screams of the crowd spread through the crowd like ripples, conveying a sense of fear.

The crowd that was originally crowded together to buy newspapers suddenly tried harder and more laboriously to disperse in the direction away from the gunshots. The result of everyone crowding together and trying to escape as quickly as possible was that many people fell down in the panic and were trampled underfoot.

Feng Lan and Liu Qi were standing by the street. She saw the man in the black windbreaker slid out of the crowd like a drop of water with ease, walked into an alley with the brim of his hat pressed down, and just missed the law enforcement team that was rushing over.

Liu Qi didn't notice these things. He glanced at them and then looked away without much interest, his attention shifting to the streets. Those shining signboards, the polished shop windows, the magnificently decorated Roman columns, the honking cars passing by, all of these were new things that had not existed in the past hundred years, not even in remote small cities.

"I want to eat that too!" Liu Qi pulled Feng Lan's sleeve and pointed at a store with English letters written on it with sparkling eyes. Feng Lan looked in the direction and saw that it was a coffee shop with many young and beautiful students and foreigners with strange hair and eyes.

"No, we don't have money." Feng Lan said perfunctorily and took Liu Qi to a pawnshop.

She can't always fool people with magic tricks, so she should go to the pawn shop and exchange something for it.

"Go away! Where did this stinky Taoist priest come from? We don't accept junk here!"

It was a pity that Feng Lan, who was dressed simply and had a banyan branch as a hairpin on her head and no jewelry on her body, and Liu Qi, who was young and could not have any valuables, were just glanced at by the pawnshop clerk and lazily raised his hand to send them away.

Feng Lan took a look at the pawnshop. The signboard was covered in dust, and the chairs and windows in the shop had not been cleaned for a long time. The shopkeeper inside was dozing with his eyes half closed. It was obvious at a glance that this was the kind of pawnshop that was stingy and had a bad temper. Even after you took out the items, they would still dawdle with you for a long time. She didn't like it and took Liu Qi away.

"This pawnshop won't work. Find a clean and bright one."

"Hey you! How can you talk like that!" The clerk who looked down on Feng Lan was unhappy when he heard what Feng Lan said. It was one thing that he was unwilling to serve him, and it was another thing that others looked down on his pawnshop. However, Feng Lan had no intention of coming back to argue with him. The clerk stood at the door and shouted several times, but the other party ignored him, so he had to go back to the store angrily.

"Look at your poor appearance, I don't believe you really have any treasures!"
