Translator: 549690339
“As expected, the ruins that the bloodthirsty gnomes used as their nest were dirty and messy. Garbage and bones were everywhere, and a strong stench permeated the air. ”
Tang Zhen covered his nose and swept his eyes over. He discovered that there were quite a number of human skulls among the scattered white bones.
They were indeed damned monsters. Who knew how many people they had eaten?
“The ruins looked dilapidated on the outside, but the space inside was very spacious. There was a lot of food scattered on the ground. Most of the bloodthirsty gnomes suddenly entered the ruins, probably because it was mealtime. ”
It was also because of this coincidence that the group of bloodthirsty gnomes that had wreaked havoc in the valley had been captured by the Wanderers in one fell swoop.
“Tang Zhen walked inside the ruins while observing the structure and the remnants of the building. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt. ”
“It was really familiar, but what was this place? ”
“Tang Zhen, who was filled with doubt, turned his gaze to an item that looked like a counter at the corner. A flash of inspiration appeared in his mind as he immediately came to a sudden realization. ”
“That’s right, this was clearly a bank! ”
“After figuring out the origin of this wild building, Tang Zhen was overjoyed. Could it be that he was going to make a fortune today? ”
“Just as this thought surfaced in Tang Zhen’s mind, he saw Tai Seng running over with a face full of joy. At the same time, he was carrying a huge bag made from monster leather in his right hand. ”
“””This bunch of ugly people really hid a lot of things. Mr. Tang, are these good enough?”” ”
“what’s inside? “” Tai Seng asked in an excited tone as he opened the bag of the monster leather. ”
“Tang Zhen glanced at it and sure enough, he saw a lot of golden coins and colorful banknotes. At the same time, there were also some things that looked like gemstones. However, these things looked very dirty and emitted a pungent smell. ”
“No matter how bad the taste was, it was still money. Tang Zhen would definitely not dislike it. ”
“After carefully checking it, Tang Zhen nodded his head in satisfaction and asked Tai Seng, “” “”Have you counted the number? how many are there?”” ”
“Tai Seng’s old face turned red upon hearing this. For someone like him who only knew how to do simple calculations, counting the exact amount of these items was absolutely impossible. Fortunately, Tang Zhen had also noticed Tai Seng’s embarrassment and had him temporarily put the package aside. ”
“At this moment, some Wanderers had already found the entrance to the basement. Tang Zhen immediately rushed over when he heard this. ”
The entrance to the basement was blocked by the collapsed concrete wall. Tang Zhen looked at the huge concrete block and scratched his head. He then ordered someone to call in the big Bear that was squatting outside and swallowing the brain Pearl.
“Under the surprised gazes of Tyson and the others, da Xiong, whose mouth was still stained with blood and brain juice, easily moved the 1000-pound concrete wall away, revealing the entrance to the basement. ”
Tai Seng and the others looked at the big Bear as if he was a monster before following Tang Zhen down to the basement.
“As expected, there was a black foundation stone covered with runes floating above a stone platform in the basement, emitting a mysterious aura. Because Tang Zhen already had a few foundation stones, he wasn’t extremely excited in his heart. On the other hand, Qian Long, Tai Seng, and the others clicked their tongues in wonder. ”
“Tang Zhen glanced at Tai Seng. When he saw that Tai Seng did not have any intention of taking the foundation stone for himself, he smiled and walked forward to keep it. ”
“The foundation stone had been taken away, which meant that the building had been completely cleaned up. It would not be long before it collapsed into real ruins. ”
“After searching the basement and making sure that there was nothing else, the group left. ”
“When they came out of the basement, everyone had already completed a preliminary search of the ruins. Unfortunately, they did not find the gold bar that Tang Zhen desired. ”
Perhaps this was just an ordinary small bank with no gold reserves.
“The vault was also found by Lisa and the others, but it was a pity that it was already a mess and had been used as a place for the bloodthirsty gnomes to sleep and excrete. After rummaging for a long time, the Wanderers only found a dozen bundles of dirty notes. ”
this is so disappointing. The drop rate of these bloodthirsty gnomes is a little low!
Tang Zhen muttered the strange words that everyone heard as he walked out from the ruins.
“Standing outside the ruins, Tang Zhen glanced at Tai Seng who was beside him and asked indifferently, “” I plan to build a city Tower and allow you to become its residents. What do you think? “” ”
“Hearing this, Tai Seng’s face revealed an expression of joy mixed with shock. After hesitating for a while, he asked, “” it’s every Wanderer’s dream to have a City Tower to rely on. It’s easy to build a city Tower, but it’s difficult to defend it. Do you have the confidence to defend against the monster attacks after the City Tower is built? “” ”
“Tai Seng had wandered the wilderness for many years and had seen many examples of new buildings being destroyed by monster attacks after they were completed. It could be said that less than one in a hundred had survived. There were also some buildings that were lucky enough to resist the monster attacks, but they would be destroyed not long after for various reasons. ”
The destruction of the city and the death of people were not just empty words!
“After the city was broken, the residents of the city who lost their support were even worse off than the Wanderers. Even if they escaped the massacre of the city, it was difficult for them to survive in the wilderness! ”
“But even so, there were still countless Wanderers who were like moths to a flame! ”
“Take Black Rock City as an example. Outsiders only saw how powerful Black Rock City was, but they did not know how many cities had been destroyed by its butcher’s knife during its rise. There were countless vengeful souls. The cultivators that Black Rock City had spent so much effort to train were not just to kill monsters. ”
“If Tang Zhen were to build a city Tower, Black Rock City would definitely become his mortal enemy. There could only be one city Tower left in this area. Even if Tang Zhen wanted to live in peace with Black Rock City, it would definitely not agree. ”
“However, since Tang Zhen dared to build a city, he was not afraid of the threat of Black Rock City! ”
“””I can provide you with sufficient supplies, be it food, weapons, or other things. What you need to do is to protect this home for yourselves and for your descendants. In this way, they can avoid the pain of wandering and can sleep peacefully at night. They don’t have to worry about starving or freezing, and can happily marry and have children in this home!”” ”
“Tang Zhen looked at Tai Seng as he spoke with a faint longing tone. His voice was very calm, yet it was filled with temptation and confidence. ”
“It wasn’t just Tai Seng, all the Wanderers in the surroundings were silent as well. Their hearts were infected by Tang Zhen’s description, and they fantasized about that kind of life. The radiance in their eyes became brighter and brighter. ”
“””Maybe we can try it. With Mr. Tang here, maybe it can really be realized?”” ”
“A Wanderer mumbled in an uncertain tone, but it made everyone’s heart skip a beat. ”
“Yes, didn’t Mr. Tang say that he could provide anything? ”
“even if we encounter monsters attacking the city, we will have weapons and food by then. We will defend the city. Do we have to be afraid of not being able to defeat those monsters? ”
“After thinking through all this, the hearts of the Wanderers were filled with confidence in an instant. Then, all of them turned their gazes to the source of this confidence, which was Tang Zhen. ”
“In their eyes, this man who had great power and promised to bring them a large number of precious resources might really be able to bring them a safe harbor! ”
