The so-called dividing line turned out to be just a barbed wire fence. Although it showed a hideous silhouette in the dark, if it was used as a line of defense against those monsters, it would be a bluff.

Zhong Yuncong has always had lingering fears about those unknown creatures that are neither human nor ghost, and he is stubborn in front of Su Xian, but only he knows that as he gradually approaches the West City, the fear in his heart is also spreading.

And the thin wire fence in front of him obviously made him have doubts about the security of this area, but there was no turning back when he opened his bow, so he couldn't back down.Besides, if he really wanted to do that, he doubted that he might not survive tonight - the biggest threat was not the other side of the wall, but Su Xian beside him.

Just when he was worried about his own safety, unexpectedly, a beam of strong light pierced his eyes. He closed his eyes reflexively, and there was a rough metal scraping sound in his ears, which was dull and depressing. He struggled to adapt to the strong light, barely opened his eyes, and saw that Xiang Yu had returned to the car. The ice girl in the driver's seat rolled down half of the window and showed her armbands and epaulettes. After a while, the original The closed wire fence opened a hole for them.

Cherokee slowly drove in through this gap, like a black beetle crawling in the snow. Zhong Yuncong looked along the light source, only to be surprised that there was a watchtower about ten meters high standing behind the barbed wire.

The body of the tower is white, and the strong white light comes from the searchlight on the top of the tower. Presumably, they sensed their arrival. After confirming the identity of the visitor, they cast a light and opened the iron gate.

"This is the patrol post. Each post is usually equipped with two sentries, who are on duty alternately day and night." Su Xian's words sounded like he was teaching the fledgling reserve team members, and Zhong Yuncong really needed his explanation, so he listened very attentively .

"The front is a ditch, so we have to get out of the car, and we can only go forward on foot." As if to confirm his statement, the ice girl stopped the car, and the four got out of the car one after another.With the help of the light, Zhong Yuncong could see that there was a rather narrow and rugged ditch less than half a meter ahead, several meters wide, and it was impossible for a car to drive through it.

Just when Zhong Yun couldn't help but want to ask "how do we get there", Su Xian turned his back and gestured in the direction of the lookout tower, and then he heard a rumble, two thick arms A thick steel plate was suspended by the iron chain and fell slowly, just covering the horizontal ditch.After the steel plate is fixed, it is a simple suspension bridge.

They walked smoothly over the ditch, and when their soles rolled over the snow, the noise just now reappeared. Zhong Yuncong looked back, and the steel plate was put away, revealing its true face like a black hole.

Just when Zhong Yuncong thought he had stepped into the boundary of Xicheng, there was another two-meter-high wire fence in front of him.

"This is an electrified barbed wire fence with a siren attached to it. If anyone dares to trespass, it will turn into a roast suckling pig full of scorching noise in a burst of creaking noises." Liu Lu answered his questions lightly, "Did you see the open space ahead?"

Zhong Yuncong felt cold all over, stretched his neck unconsciously, and found that there was indeed an open field in front of him, and like other places, it was covered with thick snow.

"That's a minefield. There are countless landmines buried underneath. There is a probability of one step at a time. If anyone dares to trespass, his body will be broken into raw materials for braised lion heads." His tone was still light, and he mentioned When it is a minefield, it seems to be talking about a vegetable field.

But for Zhong Yuncong, who was born in a wealthy family, the word "minefield" exploded in his ears. He almost forgot the agreement with Su Xian, and wanted to explode in front of the other two: "...Can you stop using metaphors? How will I face roast suckling pig and braised lion head in the future?"

Fortunately, his mind was not so dizzy, he took a deep breath, swallowed his complaints, and made an appearance of humbly asking for advice: "Then, how do we get there?"

Before Su Xian replied, Xiang Yu couldn't listen anymore: "Team Leader Su, you little brother from the reserve team didn't do well in the training class, you don't understand anything in the textbook, this is worse than me back then. "He said and smiled at Zhong Yuncong, and the corner of his mouth was crooked: "Brother, have you fallen asleep in class?"

Zhong Yun had a guilty conscience for no reason, so he was playing the wrong game—he didn’t get good grades since he was a child, and he relied on his rich father to give money to the school all the way to school, until he finally entered the third-rate art college. It is also because his father donated a large sum of money to the school.

He pressed down on the brim of his hat, and lowered his head in embarrassment. Of course, this was what Xiang Yu thought, but in fact, his face, Mr. Zhong, was not so thin. He just wanted to avoid looking directly at the other party and avoid revealing the secrets of his eyes.

It's just that it's not easy for him to chase Su Xian and ask how to cross the power grid and landmines. Anyway, they all have unique skills and look confident, so it's not his turn to worry.

Thinking this way, he came to the power grid unknowingly, seeing that the other three people were still, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Su Xian put his hands in his coat pockets, turned his face to glance at Zhong Yuncong, and then shrugged at Xiang Yu: "You take him there, and I will take Her Majesty there, how about it?"

Xiang Yu's cheeks twitched: "Why? Give me the old man, choose a girl yourself, and use publicity for personal gain!"

Su Xian raised his eyebrows: "In that case, it's better to let the person concerned decide—Her Majesty, who do you want to choose?"

And Zhong Yuncong, the other party involved, was not in his consideration. Fortunately, Zhong Yuncong himself didn't want to have too much contact with this guy, but he was so happy.He also looked curiously at Su Xian's woman who called each other respectfully, this time he finally saw her face clearly.

The appearance of the ice girl is not outstanding, she is very delicate and delicate, as her name suggests, she has an icy aura that repulses people thousands of miles away, making Zhong Yun never take two steps back involuntarily. It can be seen from a distance.

She was slender and slender, and she wore very thin clothes. Zhong Yuncong was very worried that she would be blown down by the cold wind in the next second, but her hands were tightly wrapped with two gloves, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

Xiang Yu's coat, which had not been changed for many days and was caked with dirt, made the ice girl nod at Su Xian without hesitation: "I'm with you."

Su Xian smiled apologetically, Xiang Yu was speechless, so he could only vent his grievances on Zhong Yuncong, whose shoulder was almost broken by the strongman's slap: "Are you ready?"

Zhong Yun was delirious from the pain, and replied indiscriminately: "Okay... get ready..."

In fact, he didn't know what to prepare at all, and he didn't know how Xiang Yu would "get" him over, but soon, he knew—he was picked up by the strong man with one hand, and the other party shook his arm twice, and he also After turning twice, he was thrown out like a sandbag. He drew a perfect parabola in the air, crossed the two-meter-high power grid, and landed firmly on the other side.

He was still on the ground with his face on the ground, and his whole body fell down and smashed a human-shaped hole in the snow. After landing for a long time, all the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart, and he couldn't move.

Finally, the dying energy subsided, he tried to move his cervical spine, and in the next second he let himself go: "Damn..."

He thought he was making a loud noise, but it was actually not as loud as a mosquito, so that Xiang Yu, who landed on the front and rear feet, was unconscious.

Zhong Yuncong was still trying to move his other joints, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xiang Yu's asymmetrical face magnified ten times in front of his eyes, and his voice was still loud: "I really can't do it, kid, I haven't read the book. It’s fine to go in, but your physical fitness is still so poor, and you are a weak chicken, how did you get into the reserve team?”

Zhong Yun couldn't say a word, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a small snowstorm blowing not far away, and then Su Xian and the ice girl landed with the wind and snow, which was called a jade tree facing the wind.

Zhong Yuncong always felt that this scene seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and the pain all over his body forced him to give up the memory. He gasped, tried to prop up his arms, succeeded, and then failed again up.With a plop, he lay back on his stomach again.

"Is this kid disabled from a fall? Old Su, you can't blame me. I asked him if he was ready, and he said that I did it when I was ready."

Xiang Yu complained loudly to Su Xian, but Zhong Yuncong couldn't tell: who knew that the overlord of Chu would be so simple and rude...

Although he couldn't get up, he could still raise his head. He glanced at someone resentfully, firmly believing that all of this was premeditated.

After Su Xian thoughtfully brushed the snow off the ice girl's shoulders, he walked slowly in front of him and knelt down: "You didn't fall to your death, did you?"

Zhong Yuncong struggled to squeeze out a few words through his teeth: "...Thanks to you, it's just that the skeleton is almost scattered."

"Stand up if you're not dead." Su Xian's tone was lukewarm, and Zhong Yuncong felt powerless: "Brother, I want to too..."

Xiang Yu still felt a little bit guilty, he stretched out his hand to grab Zhong Yuncong's collar again: "Come on, buddies help you..."

Zhong Yuncong was about to have a heart attack, he really couldn't bear the strength of this demon king, and he was really going to die before he could finish his mission... Fortunately, someone stopped him: "Okay, let me do it. "

Zhong Yuncong was held up by Su Xian reluctantly but without the ability to resist, especially at the moment when he was close to being paralyzed and had no choice but to lean on him.

"I don't want to bother you, but there's nothing I can do right now." Although Su Xian was acting as his human crutch at the moment, he couldn't stop him from saying, "By the way, what, you Which word is the name? The virtuous Xian or the strings of the strings? Ah, I know, it must be disgusting..."

In fact, he doesn't know why he still has the strength to say so much. In short, he just wants to talk... He is too close, and the smell of this person always gets into his nose, which makes him restless, so he can only rely on talking to distract attention.

Admittedly, he doesn't smell bad.

Su Xian listened to his chattering expressionlessly, and unexpectedly interjected: "Idlers' idleness."

Zhong Yun never reacted: "Huh?"

"That's why I like leisure and hate trouble." Su Xian smiled like a spring breeze, "If you talk too much, I will throw you into the minefield."

Those who know current affairs are heroes, Zhong Yuncong shut up.

As for the minefield where Zhong Yun was kept silent, they had an easy life, completely beyond his imagination—the key figure this time was the Ice Girl. She took off one of the gloves, bent down, and touched the ground with her palms. , A few seconds later, the minefield, which was more than ten meters long and wide, was covered with a thick layer of ice, at least half a meter thick.

And just like that, they walked across the ice like walking on flat ground.

Seeing the ice girl put on the gloves, Zhong Yuncong felt a lot of emotion: I suddenly wanted to sing "Letitgo".

After wading through the minefield, Zhong Yuncong felt that it was almost time to end, but he never thought that after walking tens of meters, there was another obstacle.

This time it was a fence made of concrete, which looked much stronger than the wire fence. It was more than five meters high and half a meter thick. As for the length, there was no end in sight.

"This is the sixth line of defense." Su Xian's voice rang in his ears, "We call it the 'Separation Wall', and after crossing it, we will be in Xicheng District."

The Wall is exactly what the name suggests.

"Iron fences, patrol posts, ditches, power grids, minefields, and the separation wall," Zhong Yun felt a headache from one side of the inventory, "is it to prevent the monsters from over there?"

"Then what else?" Su Xian pointed to another watchtower that was faintly shining in the distance, "There are patrol posts like this every ten kilometers, and the total length of the separation wall is 123.6 kilometers. 12 of them, and only three of them have access."

aisle?Zhong Yun thought of the gate on the wire fence and the crude suspension bridge, and understood what the passage was about.

He nodded approvingly: "Then your security is still in place. I thought... ahem, no matter what, after all, there are such dangerous monsters over there, and they must be locked up."

Su Xian glanced at him, then suddenly turned sideways, raised his chin: "Did you see that tall tower?"

Zhong Yun followed his guidance and saw the tall tower protruding from a lone peak at a glance. No matter where he was in the city, he could easily see its height.

"It's actually a watchtower. Because it's too high, it looks like you can pick up the stars by reaching out. People call it the Star Tower."

Zhong Yuncong looked at Su Xian in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned the Star Tower to him.

"But for me, the only time I can get a glimpse of the outside world is when I stand on the star tower." Su Xian's gaze stayed on the top of the star tower, and his voice was very flat, "It's a pity that they are all shocked. Take a glance, because on the periphery of the 'isolated island', there is a stricter blockade than what you have seen just now, with a total of fifteen floors inside and outside. And those of us are locked up like this, and we will never be able to get out. "

Zhong Yuncong was shaken all over, without any warning, his "daydream" broke out again.

All he could see was Su Xian's gloomy side face, but what appeared in his right eye was the piercing spire.
