Chapter 9 The Gap in the City of Steel

This is sad...

Not to mention the private car owner whose face became increasingly pale, Lao Chen finally reacted and said with surprise: "No, shouldn't you be in class? How did you become a warrior? When did it happen?!"

He never expected that after just talking about warriors last night, Chen Pingping would actually become a warrior today!

"I asked Li Qianqian to ask for leave for me this morning. Not long after I came out of the Warriors Association building, I didn't expect to encounter this, and I didn't expect to meet you all." Chen Pingping explained with a smile.

Now that we have met, there is no need to hide anything.

"Mom and Dad, this is the key to a house allocated by the Warriors Association. You can take a day off this afternoon and find a moving company to move there. The address is Warrior Community No. [-]. Go to the guard and tell me my name, and they will take you there. Yes." Knowing that Old Chen was a good person, Chen Pingping took out the key and handed it over in front of everyone.

"We are actually divided into houses. This is a benefit only gifted warriors have. Congratulations, master!" A knowledgeable passenger immediately congratulated.

"Thank you, thank you!" Upon hearing that they actually got a house, Old Chen and his wife's faces were full of red. They were not even a little angry as before, and they immediately waved their hands to everyone around them.

"What's going on, who called the police?" At this moment, two nearby traffic policemen rushed over, pushed through the crowd, and asked.

"It's nothing serious. I'm a road rage patient who kept trying to get out of the car, so I stopped him." Chen Pingping pointed at the private car owner and said to the traffic police.

Although Chen Pingping looked childish, his warrior attire still made the expressions of the two traffic policemen become solemn, and they politely said: "My little brother is a warrior? Can you please record a confession?"

Chen Pingping frowned slightly, not to show off, but because he saw the No. 18 bus he had been waiting for arriving.

"I'm a warrior." He nodded first, then pointed to the shuttle bus that was about to arrive at the station, and said, "Two police officers, I'm really sorry. The bus I was waiting for has arrived, and I happen to have something to do."

Then he pointed at Mr. Chen and his wife, "These are my parents and the driver of the No. 97 bus. Do you want them to record a confession for me?"

"Okay, you can do it yourself." The two traffic policemen did not hesitate and were very easy to talk to.

"Thank you." Chen Pingping nodded and said to Mr. and Mrs. Chen, "Mom and Dad, it's getting late. After you finish recording your confession, you can just ask for leave and go find a moving company. Remember, this is Warrior Community No. [-]. It's night time I’ll tell you in detail when I get back.”

"If you have anything to do, just go and do it. Don't worry, leave the moving to me. You can just go back to your new home in the evening." Old Chen said happily.

Then, the No. 18 shuttle bus arrived.

Chen Pingping glanced at the private car owner for the last time and saw that he seemed to be frightened by him, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, turned around and left, and got into the car.

……

Every base city is a city of steel. This is not just talk. The steel city walls, which are more than ten meters high, are made of extremely solid materials at no cost. They arm the base city into the strongest fortress to resist invading monsters.

Of course, since most of the earth's territory has been invaded by monsters and humans are in short supply, there are also gaps in the City of Steel.

The steel city wall cannot really surround the entire base city to form a complete circle. There are more invading monsters in the east and south directions of the city, so the walls in these two directions are higher, reaching a height of more than ten meters.In the west and north directions of the city, the frequency of monster invasions is much lower. In some places, the city walls are only seven or eight meters high, or even three or four meters high. In other places, there are no steel walls at all, just some earthwork. These places are easy to rely on. It is the defense of the city defense army.

Although Chen Pingping had no personal experience with monster sieges in his previous life, he knew from reports that the monsters attacked from the west of the city, which was weakly defended. So today, his plan was to go out from the west gate and explore west. Let's see if we can find any clues.

After being promoted to a formal warrior, you are automatically qualified to leave the city, so leaving the city is very simple. You only need to press your fingerprints at the city defense army to verify your identity.

Verification of identity is a must. Although ordinary people cannot buy the combat uniforms of the Warriors Association, no one can guarantee that warriors will not give them to their families. This is true in the city. When going out of the city, identity verification is definitely required.

After confirming Chen Pingping's identity as a warrior, the soldiers of the city defense army let him go without stopping.

As a veteran who often went out of the city to hunt monsters, Chen Pingping naturally had no curiosity about the scenery outside the city and immediately walked quickly away.

In fact, apart from warriors, there are few people outside the base city. It is overgrown with grass and there is not much scenery to see.

It can be seen that there are still many warriors in the area close to the base city.

These people are either city defense troops, monster hunters, or other social warriors who come out to make some money to spend. Because they are close to the base city, they don't have much fear between each other and are relatively safe.

As we go deeper and deeper, there are fewer traces of warriors. They will carefully avoid each other when meeting each other, and try not to bump into each other to avoid disputes or even killing people to seize treasures.

After all, even if the hunting proceeds are not counted, the combat uniforms and weapons worn by warriors are still valuable items.

The lowest level warrior level I equipment like Chen Pingping's can be worth hundreds of thousands, not to mention warrior level II, warrior level III, and even higher warrior level and war god level equipment.

A God of War weapon, even the lowest God of War I, costs hundreds of millions, and armor is even more expensive, at least two to three hundred million!

Of course, the Jiangnan base city can only be regarded as a third- or fourth-tier small city among the base cities in the entire federation. It is only a warrior-level city. The chance of war-god-level equipment appearing is not high.

As for the divine weapons above the God of War level, that was a concept that was born later and cannot be measured in terms of money.

Because only elite monsters of grade nine or above can produce materials for divine weapons, and elite monsters are equivalent to strong human beings who ignite the genetic fire. At present, it is estimated that there is no monster that has evolved to this level in the entire earth. , otherwise with the current level of human beings, it would probably be finished long ago.

In fact, in his previous life, Chen Pingping was a strong man who ignited the genetic fire. He was a high-level executive in a base city, but he only had one magic weapon-level weapon. Even if the materials for the armor were provided, he was waiting in line eagerly.

After all, materials are not readily available. A series of complex modern processes and corresponding high-grade metal ingredients are required to make qualified equipment.

This is a bit far to say. With Chen Pingping's current strength, financial ability, and high-level equipment, unless he is lucky and happens to encounter the relics of a strong man after his death, he can only think about it.

"It's strange. Were they all killed by other warriors? How come we're so far away and still haven't encountered a single monster!"

Continuing to go west, Chen Pingping was a little puzzled. He was now more than 50 kilometers away from the base city, and his first monster kill had not yet been completed!
