I Have A City In An Alternate World Chapter 1213

Chapter 1213

1213 Hurrying on the road and provocation

In the sandstorm, the team walked for a distance before they unexpectedly met a familiar face. It was the other group of abandoned people who lived with them at the bottom of the stone pit.

They had set off much earlier than Tang Zhen and the rest. However, their speed was much slower. Other than the sand that they would occasionally stir up, the main reason was that their food was too poor. Therefore, they were unable to support themselves for a long time.

If a normal person did not lack food, even if they ate one less meal occasionally, they would not go weak in the legs and constantly sway as they walked. However, for the abandoned people who had not been able to eat their fill for a long time, a long journey was indeed an extremely painful thing.

They had no choice but to walk slowly in order to reach their destination. Even if they could eat some food along the way, the amount was pitifully small.

Although they had brought a lot of food, they needed to last for a few days. As they were near the monster City, it was almost impossible for the abandoned people to obtain food. For some unknown reason, there were no real plants or animals around the monster City!

If you saw living animals and plants in a Monster City, you would be sure that they were all mechanical creatures, but they were too real.

When they saw Uncle Jim and the others, the neighbors looked at each other and subconsciously kept a distance.

The unforeseen event during the day of extreme darkness caused one less group of abandoned people to be at the bottom of the stone pit, and it was the group that originally had the most people.

The two groups of abandoned people were quite close, so they often joined forces to bully Uncle Jim and the others. Especially after Morris ‘parents and others died in the monster City, they often humiliated the old and the weak.

Although it was not to the point of murder, it still made Morris and the others go through a very difficult time. Even when they were on the garbage mountain, they were often robbed of their spoils.

It wasn’t until Uncle Jim took over the heavy responsibility and retaliated against the two groups of abandoned people that the other party’s behavior became more restrained. However, he still caused them some trouble from time to time.

When the group of abandoned people was attacked by the radiation monsters, the group of abandoned people who had a better relations.h.i.+p with them did not take any action. Instead, Uncle Jim helped them.

Although Ji mu and the others had also chosen to take action under Tang Zhen’s pressure, they were still much stronger than this group of people who were merely watching from the side regardless of the reason!

Even after Uncle Jim and the rest took in the survivors, this group of abandoned people had secretly laughed at them, thinking that there was something wrong with Jim and the rest’s brains for them to take in a few children who could not find food.

In this era where resources were scarce, the higher the population, the greater the pressure on survival. No group of abandoned people would casually increase the number of members and share the food that was not much to begin with.

However, with the disappearance of their allies, Uncle Jim’s strength started to be on par with this group of abandoned people. This also made the other party start to be wary, afraid that Uncle Jim and the others would take revenge on them for what happened in the past.

At the same time, this group of abandoned people also sized up Tang Zhen with obscure eyes. They had reason to believe that the delicious food that Uncle Jim and the others had been eating these few days was most likely brought by this man of unknown origin.

Although he really wanted to find out the origin of the fragrant food, in order to avoid aggravating the conflict between the two sides, spying and investigation were naturally carried out in secret.

As such, although the two groups of abandoned people met, they were like strangers and quickly pulled apart in the sandstorm.

They continued to advance towards the mountain range in front. Along the way, Tang Zhen’s group encountered many groups of abandoned people. The largest group had several tens of people while the smallest group only had two to three people.

A group of five to six people like Tang Zhen’s group could be found everywhere.

Everyone’s dressing was very similar, but there were still some relatively wealthy abandoned people who hung metal weapons on their bodies. At the same time, they used some ornaments to indicate their ident.i.ty and origins.

Even if the entire world was on the verge of collapse and the abandoned people had almost no next meal, the consciousness of social cla.s.s and compet.i.tion had never disappeared!

However, to the high and mighty residents of the floating city, the abandoned people’s behavior was laughable. The citizens would even observe the lives of the abandoned people for a long time, treating them like ants in gla.s.s cabinets.

Tang Zhen’s group was actually not eye-catching when they walked among the crowd. This was especially so after their weapons and equipment were hidden by their clothes. Outsiders were unable to see any clues.

If he took out those weapons at this moment, he was afraid that it would immediately attract the covetous eyes of the abandoned people who had a larger number of people. They might even directly s.n.a.t.c.h them!

The abandoned people in this world rarely fought because there were not many benefits worth fighting for. However, after seeing these weapons, the abandoned people naturally had a reason to fight for them.

A series of footsteps could be heard as another large group of abandoned people appeared in the sandstorm. Compared to the other abandoned people, this group’s equipment could be said to be luxurious.

He didn’t know what kind of luck they had, but they actually had a large number of metal weapons. From the style of the weapons, he could confirm that they were from some sc.r.a.pped robot.

Although the appearance of the weapons was strange, it did not affect the lethality of the weapons. Looking at the sharp blades, people subconsciously chose to avoid them.

This group of abandoned people clearly knew about the fear of others, so they acted unscrupulously. They didn’t Dodge when they walked and even deliberately b.u.mped into those groups of abandoned people with fewer people.

Perhaps they were using this method to show off their strength and let the other abandoned people know how powerful they were. This way, when fighting for the food seeds in the monster City, they would subconsciously avoid them.

In this way, they could monopolize the area, and the chances of harvesting would greatly increase.

Although they had yet to enter the monster City, the battle between the abandoned people had already begun!

In the end, Tang Zhen and the others who were hurrying on their way were randomly targeted by this group of abandoned people. They quickly approached from behind and started provoking them.

“The guy blocking the way in front, hurry up and get out of the way!”

A sharp and arrogant voice rang out. Morris, who was walking at the back of the group, turned around and saw dozens of abandoned people standing behind him. The eyes behind the goggles were staring at them coldly.

Morris had experienced this more than once, so he immediately realized that this group of abandoned people was deliberately looking for trouble.

Seeing the number of people and equipment on the other side, Morris dodged to the side without hesitation. At the same time, he reminded Uncle Jim and the others to make way to avoid unnecessary fights.

Choosing to retreat and give in when you’re at a disadvantage was not a sign of cowardice, but a simple and mature survival wisdom.

You can only have everything if you’re alive, and you’ll have nothing if you die!

After hearing Morris ‘reminder, Uncle Jim and the others turned around and glanced at the group of provocative abandoned people. They silently chose to make way. Like the young Morris, these older abandoned people knew what they should do.

However, Uncle Jim looked at the leader with a complicated expression. There must be a special reason behind this.

Even Tang Zhen followed and dodged to the side. He looked at the group of arrogant abandoned people with a smile that was not a smile and waited for their next action.

“Kid, your saber looks familiar. It seems to be the one I lost a few days ago!”

The smile on Tang Zhen’s face grew wider when he heard the other party suddenly say this after Morris and the others made way for him.
