Chapter 1700

~2 min read 398 words

A city appeared before everyone's eyes.

And one couldn't even call this a city.

Because in the eyes of the Qin people, a city is a place of substance and grandeur.

It is a place that protects the safety of the people.

Only places protected by city walls are called cities.

But this city disappointed them.

Let alone them, even a dog would shake its head upon seeing it.

This was entirely a city built of wood.

The city walls were wood, and the houses inside the city were also wood.

Everything was made of wood.

If a large fire were set, it's estimated the entire city would catch fire.

By then, even if you wanted to save it, you couldn't.

And at this moment, this city had already been destroyed.

The entire city was not large, and the surrounding city walls had collapsed in many places.

Many areas had already been completely destroyed.

In individual places inside the city, wisps of smoke were still rising.

"Could there be someone inside cooking?"

Han Xin spoke in disbelief.

"Do you think that's possible?"

"The city walls are broken like this; how could it be possible to cook?"

"It should just be some wood being ignited, leaving some firelight."

Meng Tian didn't believe there was anyone left inside.

This city built of wood had been ravaged to this extent.

How could there possibly still be people inside?

"Your Highness, shall we enter the city?"

The others looked toward Ying Ying Zi Ye.

At this time, they needed His Highness to make the decision.

This city was very ordinary and not considered large.

It shouldn't be able to hold more than three hundred thousand people.

And it must have been ravaged into a mess inside.

The streets with broken walls and debris must be difficult to navigate.

Upon careful observation, one could still discover that those wooden city walls were somewhat different.

They weren't entirely built of wood; some foundations were still made of stone blocks.

The cities here could be compared to those of the Peacock Dynasty.

Everyone had wooden cities.

"Better not go in."

"The population in the city is dense, so there will be even more infected."

"They are just hiding for now."

Ying Ying Zi Ye thought of those infected hiding under the floorboards.

This place belongs to a city, and those infected had nowhere to hide.
