I Have A City In An Alternate World Chapter 2020

.Chapter 2020

2020 The road is hard (1)

Tang Zhen did not waste any more time after arranging the desperators properly. He began to lead the midget and the others toward the square.

On the city wall behind them, there were close to 10000 pairs of eyes staring at them.

There was regret and antic.i.p.ation in their eyes, but most of them were filled with unwillingness.

Although they had also thought of following Tang Zhen to the high-cla.s.s Street, they subconsciously felt fear when they thought of the predicament they were about to face.

Instead of taking the risk, it was better to stay safe and spend the rest of his life safely.

Different choices determined different paths, and at this moment, they were no longer connected.

When they saw Tang Zhen’s group walking towards the square, the skeleton monsters that were wandering in the mud became incomparably lively.

They kept emerging from the mud and gathered on both sides of the road, waiting for the unlucky ones who lost their footing.

I can’t see through the illusion. It’s almost entirely up to luck. I wonder how many will be left in the end? ”

Tang Zhen’s eyes swept over those skeleton monsters. His eyes contained a cold intent as he turned his head to the midget and the others and said,”For the rest of the journey, you must remember my footsteps. There must be no deviation.

Otherwise, if you make a single mistake, you may lose your life, and no one can save you.

I’m not trying to scare you. If you don’t believe me, you can try!”

After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, everyone’s expression turned grave. They all expressed that they would definitely be more careful.

Danger was everywhere in the city of despair, and there was almost no safe place. The huge square in front of them, which was full of wild gra.s.s, was obviously not right. How could they let their guard down?

“I’ll give you three minutes to prepare. Then, form a long line and follow behind. At the same time, tie a rope around your waist.

Without my order, you are not allowed to untie the ropes!”

After hearing Tang Zhen’s order, the despaired people followed suit and quickly formed a long line.

Once the time was up, Tang Zhen took the lead and walked forward.

The midget, little Wu, and the rest followed closely behind. Behind them were nearly a thousand desperators who had chosen to follow. Their faces were filled with anxiety as they closely followed behind Tang Zhen.

There was nothing unusual at first, but it didn’t take long for them to feel that something was wrong.

The seemingly empty square was filled with an indescribable stench that made people want to vomit.

A series of strange sounds kept ringing in their ears, as if something was rolling in the mud or something evil was whispering in their ears.

The already nervous desperator became even more nervous at this moment, carefully guarding against the sudden arrival of danger.

Unknowingly, the team’s speed was also affected.

Tang Zhen turned his head and swept his eyes over. However, he did not say anything.

At this time, the road under their feet was still considered wide. Even if the team was a little chaotic, there would not be any danger.

However, as they continued to advance, the road became narrower and narrower. If chaos were to occur again, they would have to take countermeasures.

The purpose of tying the rope was to ensure that everyone would be brought over. However, if there was really a black sheep present, Tang Zhen would definitely not keep him. Instead, he would eliminate him immediately.

At the place where Tang Zhen’s group had pa.s.sed, the skeletons that had gathered on the side of the road let out disappointed wails. Soon after, they struggled in the mud and firmly bit the back of the group.

If no one fell here, then there might be someone who would fall later on. As long as they waited patiently, there would always be an unlucky person.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the path suddenly changed. It was originally several meters wide, but now it was only three feet wide.

Although it was more than enough to walk in this width, he still had to be careful.

And compared to the original flat ground, the road had begun to become rough and b.u.mpy, with occasional depressions and b.u.mps.

If they were not careful and tripped, they would fall into the mud swamp.

When they reached this point, dangerous situations finally appeared more frequently. The despaired could not see the uneven ground, so they would stumble from time to time.

If it wasn’t for the rope on their bodies, they would have fallen into the swamp and been torn to pieces by the skeleton monsters.

But even so, there were still some unlucky ones who fell into the swamp. Then, the skeletons took the opportunity to grab their bodies and desperately tear them down.

These skeletal monsters had sharp bone claws that could almost pierce through the skin and flesh. The desperators who were attacked were instantly riddled with wounds.

Every time this happened, those despairing people would struggle with all their might and shout for help from their companions.

Because of the rope tied to their bodies, most despaired people would try their best to pull their companions back up when they were in danger.

As long as they didn’t die, there was always a possibility of healing their wounds. After all, they had the healing medicine that Tang Zhen had distributed.

However, there were still some people who were afraid of being implicated. After their companions fell into the mud, they directly pulled out their knives and cut the ropes on their bodies.

From the beginning to the end, he didn’t reach out to help, afraid that he would be implicated.

Self-centered, this was a subconscious reaction.

Without the rope’s restraint, the desperator who fell into the swamp did not even have the chance to struggle. He was directly pulled into the mud.

In total, more than a dozen teams had encountered similar situations, and nearly a hundred despaired people had lost their lives in an instant.

Those who didn’t save their companions quickly tasted the consequences. After they cut their companions ‘ropes, the other despairing people began to refuse to connect with their ropes.

No one would put their life in the hands of such a companion. When the other party was in trouble, they might help him, but when the other party was in trouble, they would definitely stand by and watch, or even give you a push.

After realizing that no one was tying up the rope with them, these despaired people’s faces turned gloomy as they carefully probed forward.

alright, there’s a large platform here. It’s a few thousand square meters in size. Everyone can take a rest here.

At this moment, Tang Zhen suddenly stopped and spoke to the despairing person behind him.

Hearing this, everyone let out a long sigh of relief and sat on the ground.

However, I think everyone has seen the performance of some people just now. Whether such people are trustworthy or not, you all know in your hearts.”

Tang Zhen stopped speaking after he spoke up to this point. He had already given Hu sufficient hints. If these despairing people still did not know what to do, they could only say that they deserved to die.

This was also because he was too lazy to make a move. Otherwise, he would have personally driven away this black sheep.

After Tang Zhen said these words, the expressions of those despairing individuals who had cut off the rope earlier changed drastically.

They could clearly feel that the desperators around them were looking at them with a change in their gazes. There was a hint of killing intent in their eyes.

It was obvious that many despaired people looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts, but they could not act up due to the limitations of the environment.

After realizing the situation they were in, those despaired people immediately held their weapons vigilantly. At the same time, they explained to Tang Zhen loudly,”We didn’t do it on purpose. It was just a subconscious reaction due to the critical situation.

They will die without a doubt, there is no way to save them. If we don’t cut the Rope, everyone will be affected.”

It was clearly his own doing, yet he had to kidnap someone else to absolve himself of his responsibility.

Tang Zhen shook his head and softly said,”I didn’t say that you did anything wrong. After all, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you’re not cruel, you can’t survive.

I’m just saying that you’re not trustworthy. If you can betray your teammates once, you can betray them a second time.

So, I’ll give you a chance to choose. You can either turn around and return now, or you can follow behind us and keep a certain distance while handing over the weapons in your hands.

If you refuse to cooperate, I’m sure you’re well aware of the consequences.”
