Chapter 348 Super-defensive Ruyan City
Qin An secretly despised himself in his heart. Liu Ru, this woman, was really a demon.
Because when her expression was gloomy, it was also very beautiful. That kind of beauty made people feel depressed and sad for her sadness.
Qin An shifted his attention away from Liu Ru, and then spread out. After walking for about five to six hundred meters, he discovered that there was a human aura in front of him, but he could not see a human figure. This meant that there was a hidden sentinel hiding in front of him.
After walking for several hundred meters, someone in front shouted, "Someone, stop! This is already the outer perimeter of Smoke City. If you walk any further, you'll be fired on!"
Liu Ru smiled faintly and did not stop. As she walked forward slowly, she said, "I am Liu Ru!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the quiet camp on the other side suddenly started to clamor.
"Liu Ru! The goddess is back!"
"Heavens! You miss me so much! Put down your guns! Whoever accidentally wounds my goddess, be careful that I kill you all!"
Amidst the clamor, a group of people ran out.
Qin An sighed. Liu Ru's strength was really great.
There were quite a few people in this group. There were more than a dozen people running over. Hundreds of people crawled out of the defensive trench and looked around in the distance with smiles on their faces.
Qin An discovered that these people's smiles were very simple, as if it was only because Liu Ru's return that made them feel happy, but it did not bring a trace of a man's spying on a beautiful woman.
Liu Ru said softly to Qin An, "They are the most respectable people in Smoke City!" They were called the Tiger Leopard Corps. They were in charge of searching for resources in Smoke City in the early days, but now they were in charge of guarding the outer perimeter of Smoke City. They had killed countless zombies and fought nearly a hundred battles with Wanguo City and Wangyou City. Most of them had seen through life and death with no desire or desire! They lived for their ideals. Their ideals were to protect Smoke City, protect their children, wives, and old people in the city! "Of course, there are some people who don't have any relatives in the city, but they still chose to join the Tiger Leopard Group because most of their relatives were killed by Wanguo City or Ruyan City. They want revenge for the dead!"
At this time, the dozen or so people had already approached. The leader was a burly man. He smiled warmly and said, "Liu Ru, you have left Smoke City for a long time this time!" Haha, our City Lord can't even sleep at night thinking about you! Let's not talk about anything else, don't leave this time! "Ah, I think you're really a strange woman. Although Ruyan City and Wangyou City haven't formed a true hostile relationship yet, the two sides often clash over some benefits and resources. However, you're able to walk freely between the two cities. How awesome!"
Liu Ru smiled faintly and said, "Daniu, you can't change your illness! In the end, you always like to bring an ox!"
Daniu laughed heartily. The dozen or so people nearby also burst into laughter. At the same time, their gazes fell on Qin An. They did not know what kind of relationship this little boy had with the goddess in their hearts.
Naturally, Liu Ru would not take the initiative to explain. Accompanied by Daniu and the others, they walked towards Smoke City.
After walking a few hundred meters, Qin An saw more than ten crisscrossed trenches!
Hundreds of people were busy digging up the soil.
Liu Ru asked in surprise, "When were these trenches dug?"
Not long after you left without saying goodbye, there are often unidentified people nearby who seem to be scouting us, so the city lord asks us to be on full alert within five kilometers of Ruyan City.
This is only the first perimeter. There is a moat dug behind us. After the moat, it will be our perimeter tower.
These trenches are not for us to defend. We are currently digging around day and night. In the future, five kilometers around Ruyan City, the moat will be filled with these trenches, and then there will be all kinds of traps inside the trenches!
The City Lord said that the food in Wangyou City should be very tense now. This winter is very difficult for everyone. In order to persevere until next year's autumn harvest, this winter to spring, he estimated that there would be a great battle for food in the Doomsday Land! We have very few weapons and bullets, so we can't fight Wangyou City head-on, so we have to work hard on defense!
Ah, I really didn't expect that after fighting against Myriad Kingdom City for so long, we would have to fight against Forgotten Worry City in the end! There was nothing that could be done. Who told the people of Myriad Kingdom City not to worry about food? As long as there were people, they would have food! Hmph, a bunch of devils who should go to hell! "
Liu Ru nodded as she listened.
Qin An was a little surprised. It seemed that Liu Ru was quite familiar with this group of people. What exactly was going on?
With doubts in his heart, he went down the trench with the others, and then walked along the path of the trench.
Qin An discovered that some of the trenches had been dug into traps, some were landmarks for minefields, some were narrow and unusually wooden fences made of vertical sharpened tips, and some were filled with iron nails.
It seemed that the people of Smoke City wanted to turn this place into a trap array.
As they walked forward, the others returned to their respective positions and continued to dig trenches and set up the mechanisms. Only Daniu accompanied them all the way out of the trench array until they arrived at the moat.
This moat was ten meters wide and could not be seen on either side.
Liu Ru exclaimed, "In the past, this place was clearly just an inland lake. Why was it dug into a moat by you?"
'"Ah, this river has consumed a lot of the heartforce of the people of our city! It's so difficult to dig all the way to the sea and then divert the sea water backwards!" Said Daniu.
However, he did not lose his heart, "In the end, we dug it out. There is only a bridge built on the river. The river is filled with mutated fish that eat humans. We built a watchtower on the other side of the bridge. It can be said to be an unparalleled place. If there is any danger, we can blow up the bridge. I don't believe that the enemy will be able to cross the piranha river at that time!"
Qin An secretly sighed. No wonder the three of them wanted to conquer Smoke City with schemes. It turned out that the City Lord of this city was very good at defense. With the Ecstasy Formation trenches and the piranha moat, this Smoke City could already be considered a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After sending Qin An and Liu Ru onto the bridge, Daniu bid farewell and left.
Liu Ru led Qin An along the bridge deck.
A thousand meters behind the bridge was the somewhat huge Smoke City. In this part of the area between Smoke City and the moat, there were hundreds of tower-shaped buildings that were fifty meters tall. This should be the Guard Tower!
Liu Ru said to Qin An, "The City Lord of Ruyan City is very good at defending and fighting. There are many defensive towers equipped with obstructionists. At the same time, they also have a lot of grenades. If they encounter a large number of siegers, they can kill the enemy by relying on them!"
Qin An nodded and agreed with Liu Ru.
On the other side of the bridge, someone immediately recognized Liu Ru and greeted Liu Ru warmly like Daniu before. However, this group of people did not seem to be as realistic as Daniu's group. Their gazes at Liu Ru were filled with the fervor of a man.
Liu Ru didn't seem to like them very much. She simply greeted them and directly led Qin An through the blockhouse and into the realm tower area.
"These people are just a bunch of parasites. They became the guards of Smoke City by relying on some group connections. They received the best treatment, but they did not make any contribution to Smoke City at all. Some of them did not even see zombies. They were a bunch of young masters protected by their parents and were called the Crown Prince Party by the people of the city!"
Hearing Liu Ru's words, Qin An's mood was complicated. It had been almost two years since the end of the world, yet there were actually people who hadn't even seen a zombie. Wasn't this too weird? Thinking about it, only a few rich people could do it. They brought along a large number of bodyguards and even private mercenaries, and then protected themselves firmly when the apocalypse arrived. After that, they hid in this apocalyptic land.
As Qin An walked forward, he looked at the big city.
Smoke City was built in the southeast corner of the Doomsday Land. To the south was the Gu Tian River, to the east was the vast East China Sea, and to the northwest was surrounded by artificial moats. In other words, this city was surrounded by water on all sides.
Its walls were fifty meters tall and nearly ten meters thick. The entire city looked extremely large, and it was impossible to see its boundaries from a close distance!
Qin An sighed again. Only in the apocalypse would such a huge apocalyptic city appear, right?
Liu Ru took Qin An along the way. Occasionally, some people would come out of the guard towers and greet Liu Ru warmly. They actually knew her.
Liu Ru smiled back, the smile on her face never disappearing.
After walking for about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the western gate of Ruyan City.
After passing through the guards very smoothly, Qin An was stunned by the situation inside when he entered the city gate!
Inside the city gate, there was actually a city wall that was fifty meters tall. There was a distance of about thirty meters between the inner and outer city walls.
Within Qin An's sight, there was only an iron plate bridge connecting the inner and outer city walls. Looking around, there was actually another circular moat between the two city walls.
The surface of the river was seventy to eighty meters away from the top of the city wall, Then the city wall was flush with the ground. In other words, people dug out twenty to thirty meters deep and then led out the sea water, forming a circular protective river. At the same time, Qin An could see black fish swimming across the river from time to time. This kind of fish Qin An knew was the man-eating monster fish he had seen near Dongding Island!
Such a large project, it should be quite difficult to build, right? Qin An really admired the ability of the City Lord of Smoke City!
Liu Ru smiled beside Qin An and said, "How is it, isn't it spectacular?" Before the end of the world, this kind of scene could only be seen in science fiction movies! Ruyan City's ring-shaped defensive wall was famous throughout the Doomsday Land. The reason Ruyan City was able to survive in the Doomsday Land and fight against Wanguo City and Wangyou City was because of this ring-shaped wall.
Just as Liu Ru finished speaking, a group of people suddenly gushed out from the inner city gates on the other side of the Iron Board Bridge. The leader was a man who was about forty years old. He had a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a very righteous look.
The moment he appeared, he quickly walked onto the iron bridge. Then, his face was covered with a happy smile and he shouted, "Madam, you're back! You really made me worry to death. Why did you leave without saying goodbye last time?"
Liu Ru stood there without moving. She looked at the man and said politely, "Lord Wang Khan, I have already said that I am no longer Liu Ruyan from back then, and you are no longer a bodyguard of the Lan Clan! Call me Liu Ru in the future. As for Liu Ruyan, treat her as dead in the future!"
The man named Wang Han was the City Lord of Ruyan City. He had already walked to Liu Ru's side, and the smile on his face became a little sad. He sighed and said, "Ah, damn apocalypse!" Husband... Liu Ru, why did you change your name? If you change your name, wouldn't this Smoke City be meaningless? When you were captured in Forgotten Worry City, I almost died when I saved you! Afterwards, the people from Forgotten Worry City chased after them and escaped into the zombies. After being bitten, they actually became mutants. Only then did I have the chance to organize my own strength and build this Ruyan City. The reason why I named this city Ruyan back then was to tell myself that no matter what price I paid, I would save you! "
Liu Ru faintly smiled and said, "Lord City Lord, don't be too stubborn. Didn't I stand in front of you right now? Really, we've seen each other a few times before. Didn't I come out of Wangyou City and live in Smoke City for ten days and a half? Why do you always make me excited every time I come?"
Wang Han laughed loudly and said, "Ah! Although you don't think of me as your bodyguard, you are my eternal wife to me. Of course I have to pay attention to you! Quickly leave, follow me to the city and live in your favorite Ocean View Pavilion! This time, I can't let you go anymore!"
After saying that, Wang Han led Liu Ru inside. At the same time, he looked at Qin An with a curious look in his eyes. However, he did not ask Liu Ru anything. Obviously, for this city lord, welcoming Liu Ru into the city was the first priority.
Qin An didn't know what it was like in his heart at this time.
It turned out that Liu Ru was indeed Liu Ruyan, and this Smoke City was actually built by Liu Ruyan's bodyguards back then.
Then, why did Xuan Tian say that Liu Ru and Lan Yue were not related by blood?
Qin An felt that Xuan Tian shouldn't lie to him, but he couldn't figure it out.
Full of emotion, Qin An took some floating steps and followed Liu Ru and Wang Han into this smoky city!
