Chapter 256: Entering the City

"What's wrong, Ajiu?" Zhao Yuxin looked at Zhu Zhiquan and Zhang Moxin's older sister, who had been holding a flashlight and staring at the Magic Array on the city wall, and asked.

"I..." Zhu Zhiquan saw so many people around and was too nervous to speak.

Zhao Yuxin just smiled, took Zhu Zhiquan's hands in hers, and said, "It's okay, we can go into the vehicle to talk. If there's anything important, I'll say it for you."

Off to the side, upon hearing Zhao Yuxin's words, Zhang Moxin's older sister cast a disdainful look at Zhu Zhiquan.

She then turned to the group and voiced her concerns: "Brother Chen, I think before we officially enter the city, we should discuss how to enter more safely."

Chen Ligang finished a bowl of rice wine and asked, "Little sister, why do you say that?"

"Everyone, please look." Zhang Moxin's older sister used her flashlight to shine on the artillery emplacements on the city wall. "Many of these emplacements have already been destroyed, which indicates that a fierce battle once took place here.

And after testing this city wall this morning, I presume everyone has a deep appreciation for its defensive strength. So, why don't you all think about what kind of situation this city actually encountered?"

"Zhang Mofeng, these city wall artillery emplacements have all been destroyed; what exactly destroyed them?"

"To have built such sturdy city walls, the situation at the time must not have been simple!"

………………

"Ahem!" Zhang Mofeng coughed twice, then moved the flashlight beam onto the Array and said, "Look at this Array again; there is also a major problem here."

"What kind of problem, sister?" Zhang Moxin raised her hand, like a well-behaved Baobao.

"First of all, the two women responsible for repairing the Magic Array once said that this Array is particularly simple and its size can be adjusted. So, why would the attackers have built such a large Array at the time?"

After she finished speaking, some people whispered among themselves, some felt disdain, and others cast looks of approval at her.

Finally, the bald man guessed, "You mean to say there are giant lifeforms behind this city wall? But so what? Regardless of what it is, we'll just push through!"

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin stood opposite the bald man. "I think this sister is quite right. These giant lifeforms could pose a huge danger to us. If we don't..."

"Alright, alright." The bald man put his arm around his teammate's shoulder and said dismissively, "Isn't it just that you want to find someone to lead the charge? How about this: tomorrow we will lead the charge, and you all can just follow behind."

Seeing the bald man so determined, Zhang Moxin urged, "Uncle Xing, my sister..."

"Don't worry, all of my and Uncle Xing's attributes are over 13 points. Even Brother Chen can't break the defense of our vehicle, and the vehicle's weapons are no weaker than the one that bombarded the city gate!" The bald man's teammate said this while looking at Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin.

"Well said!" The bald man reached out and ruffled the top of Zhang Moxin's head. "In this Dungeon, only those who dare to charge the most can reap the biggest rewards. You all just wait and see."

Zhao Yuxin crossed her arms and said defiantly, "Hmph, you think you're pretty tough, huh?"

While Zhao Yuxin was speaking, Zhu Zhiquan and Gelina were already standing behind her; one was glaring at the bald man and his partner, while the other was tugging at Zhao Yuxin's collar.

"Alright, alright." Chen Ligang stood in the middle and waved his arms to signal for both sides to be quiet. "How about this: Brother Xing, you all are responsible for leading the charge tomorrow, and the others remember to follow behind their vehicle."

Everyone remained silent after hearing this. At this time, the man in glasses stepped in to smooth things over: "Oh my, look at this rice wine I just brewed~ tsk tsk, it would be a waste not to drink it. Come, come, everyone take a bowl and let's toast."

Chen Ligang also scooped a bowl of rice wine and held it in front of his chest. "Well said, come, everyone, let's drink until we're drunk tonight."

…………………

The next morning, everyone was waiting in their respective Tricycles. Zhao Yuxin and Huang Jing were on the city wall together, using Magic Power to construct patterns, after which Huang Jing placed a Magic Core in the center of the Array, all the while chanting incantations that no one could understand.

Soon, a Space Gate appeared on the Array. At that very moment, all the sounds from behind the city wall instantly flooded into Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear, which made her eyes widen.

"That bald guy, wait..."

Buzz, buzz~

Before Zhao Yuxin could finish her sentence, the bald man had already driven the Tricycle into the Space Gate, kicking up dust that choked Zhao Yuxin.

Bang!

"Ah!!!"

The sudden loud noise and screams left everyone stunned, unable to react for a moment.

Only Zhao Yuxin understood what had happened behind the city wall, but she suddenly looked up in shock, as if staring at something through the city wall, and the cold sweat on her face could not stop pouring out.

Immediately, she shouted, "Bonuojiaduo!" Then she pointed at the Space Gate and shouted, "Close!" The Space Gate closed immediately.

After doing all this, Zhao Yuxin slumped to the ground, gasping for air, her eyes losing focus, as if she had been terrified by something.

Li Yue leaned over and asked, "Sister Zhao, what happened inside?"

"Sister, Uncle Xing and the others are... dead!" Before Zhao Yuxin could answer, Zhang Moxin's voice rang out to the heavens.

Those who were not close to Zhao Yuxin felt their minds roar collectively, unable to accept the news of the bald man and his teammate's death for a moment.

Zhu Zhiquan, Xuebao, Gelina, and Huang Jing all surrounded Zhao Yuxin, soothing her emotions.

Chen Ligang stepped out of his vehicle and asked Zhao Yuxin in confusion, "Little Sister Zhao, you wanted to warn Brother Xing and the others just before they entered the Space Gate, right? Can you tell me what's going on?"

After Zhao Yuxin steadied her breathing, she looked up and replied, "There are giant magic monsters behind this wall. Just now... if I hadn't closed the Space Gate in time, we would all have been finished."

After hearing Zhao Yuxin's words, everyone remained silent. Finally, Chen Ligang turned his back and ordered, "Let's enter the city from another place."

No one had any objections, and they all returned to their Tricycles to prepare to go to another location to open a Space Gate.

Chen Ligang raised his hand to wipe his face, then sniffled hard and lowered his head as he returned to the Tricycle cabin.

This time, after opening the Space Gate, Zhao Yuxin whispered into the Space Gate, then turned her head to listen.

Everyone held their breath, and a few individuals' bodies trembled involuntarily.

Fortunately, this time Zhao Yuxin only made a shushing gesture to everyone, then returned to the driver's seat of her own Tricycle and slowly entered the Space Gate.

Seeing this, the others all breathed a sigh of relief and followed one after another, taking turns entering the Space Gate.

After passing through the city wall, they saw a city filled with collapsed high-rise buildings everywhere. Looking down, there were giant mushrooms as tall as people scattered on the sidewalks, and the original concrete and stone roads were occupied by moss and wild grass.

At this time, Zhang Moxin and her older sister stepped out of the Tricycle, then carried Zhang Mofeng up into the high air. The next second, Zhang Mofeng's vision appeared in everyone's minds.

At the edge of their vision, everyone could see giant tree demons taller than the ruins of the high-rise buildings. Every step their massive feet took triggered an earthquake, and the mushrooms along the way were crushed flat.

Fortunately, these tree demons were basically all sleeping, and each one was over ten kilometers apart.

Just at this moment, the system notification sound rang out.
