National Juggernaut

Chapter 237 Difference and Encounter

Human beings in the new era are trapped in big cities, dividing the entire continent with one big city after another, but they are not limited to the big cities.

Psionic energy and high dimensions have eroded the entire world, but they have also brought endless resources and possibilities to it.

Independently operating industrial cities and industrial fortresses one after another continuously provide resources and specialty products to the big city and its surrounding ecosystems. The fortress-type towns that block dangerous passages and stabilize ultra-risky spaces provide security for civilians and hunters. They provide hunting opportunities.

How strong a big city is actually depends on its sphere of influence, that is, how far its government orders and resident armed personnel can reach, and how many satellite cities it has within its sphere of influence, and how many resources and resources it can provide. Chance.

Entering the sphere of influence of a big city is similar to entering the Sixth Ring Road of Shiqian City. You will be greeted by post stations one after another, which means that you will be relatively safe from now on and you can relax a little.

Young people who left the city for the first time looked at the outskirts of the Digital City, and inevitably compared the unfamiliar environment in front of them with the familiar scenery.
".It's a bit disappointing. Didn't it say that Digital City is the oldest and most experienced city among the six cities in the central region? Why is this environment?"

Entering the border circle of influence, Zheng Li also saw many post stations, but no matter the size or the number of people stationed there, they were only less than half of Shiqian City.

To be more specific, an outlying post station in Shiqian City needs at least two mobile teams and a vehicle, two or three small buildings, and even large-scale psionic network hypothetical equipment.

Zheng Li now saw that it was indeed a small house, with three or five people, not even a small team, and there was no means of transportation, so they could not provide effective support.

contact device?Zheng Li saw the wooden Beacon Terrace, making people feel back to the Middle Ages in a trance.

When the number of people is so small and the equipment is so simple, is it really possible to maintain the safety and stability of the main road? The battle group going out is in danger, so there is no need to ask for help from such a post, unless it is full of top-notch ones. Combat power?

Zheng Li shook his head, this became more and more unrealistic.

He took a look at the map again, and found that the farthest distance outside was not even the fifth ring border of Shiqian City. Zheng Li's expression became more subtle.

But soon, he encountered something he couldn't understand.

In less than three kilometers, he saw at least three such stations, a medium-sized station similar to Shiqian City.

Each post station in Shiqian City is at least two kilometers apart, and some are even four or five kilometers apart, but here they are one after another, even reaching the level of seeing each other with the naked eye.

Zheng Li took a deep breath, and had a vague guess, so he went to the veteran Feng Muen to verify the guess.

"Yes, your guess is correct. Such a layout will consume three to four times the resources and combat power, but there is no way around it. Their big city is too weak."

The big cities of mankind are like nails that are firmly nailed to the continent and space. They are not only the stabilizers of the sphere of influence, but also the stabilizers of the surrounding space.

Space shock is always the most feared and helpless natural disaster for human beings in this world. When two worlds collide with each other, the mortals caught in the middle don't know how they are lost.

The mere existence of a big city can effectively curb the birth of space quakes, and also reduce the number of alien invasions that are classified as secondary disasters.

Shiqian City's actual control area only extends to the Fourth Ring Road, but in fact, the periphery of the Sixth Ring Road is benefiting, and the stability of the space is obviously higher than that of no man's land. The layout of the station within the Sixth Ring Road is barely enough.

But the Digital City is different. It uses an old version of the technology. It is one of the oldest big cities. Its space stability is quite limited. It has even been regarded as a weak point for foreign domain invasion for a long time. Remains of an ancient battlefield.

Even now, the frequency of dimensional earthquakes here is more than five times that of Shiqian City, and more human resources are invested in the circle of influence. The relatively narrow scope of resources and the overly dense post stations are also helpless.

"That's not all. Most of their expenditures are actually in those stable space channels. The top batch of combat power is not blessed to enjoy the blessings in the city. Although the foreign tribes have signed an armistice agreement. Ha ha."

Zheng Li instantly understood the veteran's cruel smile at the end.

Peace has never come from an agreement or a promise, but simply because of the comparison of strengths and the needs of interests. In this way, the digital city has been peaceful for decades, just because of...
"They can't fight, so they don't want to fight."

Zheng Li nodded silently, without further questioning.

Most likely, it's not just that peace has just come, all kinds of small actions, small frictions, and even the possibility of counterattack have always involved the core energy of Digital City.

But from another perspective, the acquisition of resources in the digital city may not be fortresses and towns on the surface, but more about those stable outer domain channels.

Knowing other people's affairs is probably enough, Zheng Li intends to continue to do his own work, the veteran hesitated for a moment, but took the initiative to say to Zheng Li.

"This time our journey was very smooth, even so smooth that it saved a week's drive, but this is not a normal situation. I hope you will not underestimate the risks of the outside world. Giant monsters and hostiles in no man's land will often cut off the main trunk The time required for detours and strong battles is already expected. In the eyes of veterans, the safest wild areas far exceed the most dangerous areas on the sixth ring road."

Zheng Li was a little surprised, this is really outside the scope of "common sense".

Veteran Feng Mu Enshun pointed to the ceiling, the second floor is the gathering place for private areas.

"You may not feel it, but that one has not concealed his existence at all, and is constantly exuding his own spiritual energy fluctuations mixed with killing intent to the surroundings. The powerful beasts and foreign races with a slightly better brain can run as far as possible. Far."

Psionic fluctuations?Killing intent?What?Zheng Li didn't feel it at all.

"Oh, you will understand in the future, this fluctuation is quite slight, and it can't be measured by instruments purely by feeling. It's probably the same nature as the old dog peeing on the land, but now the land is enclosing a big monster. The little monsters with brains naturally run as far as they can. The extra meals in the past few days are obviously ignorant and not conscious. Of course, it may be that the one wants to eat extra meals, which reduces the intensity of deterrence. "

Although this metaphor was a bit dirty, Zheng Li understood it instantly.

This may be the reason why the journey will be relatively safe and smooth, and you must be more careful when you return, it may not be as difficult as the way you came.

If you are not vigilant at all, if you are unlucky and encounter a big monster, you may overturn the car directly.

Thanks to the veteran for his kind reminder, Zheng Li concentrated his energy on the current business.

The business at hand includes completing the delivery task, and the newcomer competition with Digital City. By the way, there is also the task of finding people, not only Aquarius, but also the possible relatives of Sister Yinzi
"Forehead!"

The pain from the vest almost made Zheng Li fall to the ground.

His face was calm, but cold sweat kept dripping from his cheeks, and he walked slowly back to his private space.

After entering the room, locked the door, and looked in the mirror, he took off his shirt, took one look, took a deep breath, and instantly had the urge to turn his head and run.

It's not just an Aquarius that lights up on the vest.At the top of the twelve constellations, the bloody brilliance of Aries shines exceptionally dazzlingly.
