2014 The end of the long Street (1)

After a night’s rest, the huge fleet continued to move forward.

The streets of the city of despair were extremely long. If they did not hurry, who knew when they would reach the end of the street?

Because they had recruited a large number of people, the huge convoy looked even more imposing when it moved forward.

With swords and sabers in his hands, his armor was bright, and he was several times stronger than those who were desperate.

In the process of moving forward, there would be despairing people approaching from time to time, requesting to join the team.

After a few crushing battles, the reputation of Tang Zhen’s group had already spread, and it was known by more and more despairing people.

Seeking protection from the strong was a subconscious choice that the weak would make when they were in a dangerous environment.

Especially when they heard that Tang Zhen had no restrictions on his recruitment and didn’t reject anyone, those despairing people chased after him one after another.

Other than them, there were also many despairing people. They did not directly join Tang Zhen’s group. Instead, they followed behind the convoy from a distance.

These despairing people had already discovered one thing. That was, Tang Zhen’s group would never seriously clean up the battlefield after the battle had ended.

To the rich and overbearing Tang Zhen’s group, these spoils of war were simply not in their eyes. However, to the other desperators, it was a rare wealth.

Following behind Tang Zhen to pick up the scraps and taking the opportunity to head to the front of the street was definitely a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.

Of course, while taking advantage of the situation, they also had to bear a certain amount of risk. After all, the convoy would be attacked by countless night patrollers before night fell.

These desperators who followed them would be the first to be attacked, and if they were not careful, they would be killed by the night patrollers.

Compared to the despairing ones who were taking advantage of the situation, the despairing ones in the convoy were all ready to fight at any time.

The street in front was occupied by countless forces. Tang Zhen’s barging would definitely trigger a series of conflicts.

After seeing the equipment of Tang Zhen’s group, those who knew their own limits would definitely choose to temporarily hide.

After Tang Zhen and the others left, everything would still be the same as before. They would not lose anything.

There would definitely be some people who overestimated their own abilities and attacked Tang Zhen’s group. As such, a battle was inevitable.

The matter was indeed as Desperado had expected. In the following journey, wherever Tang Zhen’s group went, most of the desperators ‘gangs would flee.

However, there were also some stronger groups of desperators who launched probing attacks on the convoy, but all of them ended in failure without exception.

Unknowingly, the reputation of the convoy grew, and it kept spreading to the street ahead.

During this period, the convoy did not stop recruiting people. After half a month, the number of members in the convoy was close to 10000.

After the number of people exceeded 10000, they barely met Tang Zhen’s requirements. Next, they only needed to head all the way to the city gate.

In the meantime, he had manufactured a new batch of armored chariots and a batch of smaller special chariots that were equipped with magically modified hand cannons.

These chariots were also man-made and could attack targets thousands of meters away. Often, with only one round of bombardment, the enemy would be killed.

With the armored tanks, the magically modified hand cannons, and nearly ten thousand people, Tang Zhen’s group became stronger and stronger.

Now, there was no one on the long Street who was their match. Similarly, no one dared to seek death.

In the following time, the convoy drove straight along the streets, getting closer and closer to the legendary city gate.

The closer they got to the city gate, the more lively the scene on both sides of the street became. There were even many despairing people who set up stalls to do business.

The desperators living on this Street didn’t have much sorrow on their faces, as if they were living a comfortable life.

After seeing the huge convoy, these despaired people were also shocked. They kept looking around, trying to figure out the origin of the convoy.

After asking around, they came to a sudden realization.

The speed at which news spread on this Long Street was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Some sensational news could often travel hundreds of miles in a single night.

Therefore, the deserters were not unfamiliar with Tang Zhen and his convoy. They just did not expect that Tang Zhen would actually appear so quickly!

Another twenty miles and they would reach the city gate, which was also the end of the street.

Looking at Tang Zhen’s posture, it seemed that he was heading straight for the city gate. It was unknown what his intentions were.

Up until now, no one had guessed Tang Zhen’s true thoughts, let alone that he was actually going to attack the city gate.

After all, this idea was too crazy. For desperators, every building in this city should not be touched easily.

The city gate was a military stronghold, and it was even more dangerous than a civilian’s house.

Unless they had collected enough vouchers and had the qualifications to leave this place, otherwise, the despairing people would subconsciously stay away from the city gate.

stop advancing. Rest here!

Tang Zhen’s voice was transmitted over. The moving convoy immediately stopped moving forward. After that, there was no need for Tang Zhen to command them as the armored vehicles completely blocked both ends of the road.

The team members in the middle all chose to rest, taking out food and eating slowly.

Tang Zhen passed by the members of the convoy and walked out of the gap in the armored war chariot. He came to the roadside stalls.

After seeing Tang Zhen, a trace of wariness appeared in the eyes of those despaired people. However, they did not choose to escape.

Compared to the desperators they had encountered earlier, the desperators in this area were clearly much bolder.

Tang Zhen looked at the items on the stall and discovered that they were all ordinary items. Their value was not very high.

If one thought about it, it was normal. If it was an item that was too precious, no one would sell it in the open, as it would only bring trouble to themselves.

“How do you want to trade these items?”

Tang Zhen asked the stall owner after sweeping his eyes over the stall.

“Bartering or vouchers can be used to trade!”

Tang Zhen revealed a puzzled expression after hearing the stall owner’s answer. He casually asked,”Are you sure your items are worth the price?”

The stall owner smiled and said to Tang Zhen,”Something like a certificate can indeed let the despairing person go to the next street, but the premise is that they can pass through the city gate smoothly.

You may not know this, but in the street in front of you, there is a group of powerful desperators all year round.

They are specialized in intercepting those who have gathered their certificates and are preparing to head to the city gate. Once you fall into their hands, you will definitely suffer a fate worse than death!”

Tang Zhen did not feel surprised that someone would specifically Rob the certificates. However, he could not understand why the other party would continue to Rob the certificates.

If one wanted to pass through the city gate, they only needed a hundred certificates. What was the use of the extra ones?

After hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the stall owner sneered,”Sir, I’m afraid you don’t know. After passing the city gate, you will reach a new block, and the proof of entry there is money.

The purpose of them snatching the pass is to make their lives better when they go to the new district.”

Hearing the stall owner’s words, Tang Zhen seemed to be very interested. He asked the stall owner,”According to you, there should be a lot of evidence in the hands of these despaired people who are blocking the road?”

“Of course,” the stall owner nodded.

“That’s good!” Tang Zhen said with a smile.

The stall owner didn’t understand what Tang Zhen meant. Tang Zhen didn’t seem to have any intention of explaining. He just silently looked at the end of the long Street with a trace of anticipation in his eyes.
