Capítulo 19: Walking Around

The middle-aged man looked at the five big boxes, then looked at Zhu Lin, and asked, "Miss, can you carry the boxes yourself?"

Zhu Lin thought about it and nodded. Since this middle-aged man said that there are people with abilities in this world, she can use this as an excuse to openly use her ice flower pendant. After making a decision, Zhu Lin waved her hand, and all five boxes disappeared from the top of the table.

Seeing what just happened, the soldiers and the middle-aged man were a little surprised. They thought this young lady was a supernatural being with the ability to attack, but they didn't expect that she had the space ability instead.

Although the space ability is very rare, it can only be used as a portable storage without any attack power. They really don't know how this young lady obtained the second rank crystal nucleus. But after seeing the long sword in her hand, they realize that she should rely on her sword to kill zombies. No wonder she was covered in blood.

After putting the five large boxes into the ice flower pendant, Zhu Lin looked at their expressions and found that they didn't seem too surprised.

'It seems that someone does have the ability similar to the Qiankun Bag.'

While she was thinking about it, the middle-aged man smiled at her and said, "I still have things to do. I wish you a pleasant stay in our base."

After leaving these words, the middle-aged man left with four other soldiers, leaving behind the soldier on duty. Zhu Lin nodded to the soldier, turned around and left.

Before she walked a few steps, the soldier asked, "Miss, are you new to our base?"

Zhu Lin turned to look at him and nodded.

The soldier then took out a piece of metal from the box under the long table, pushed it in front of her and said, "Since you have the space ability, you can bypass the cumbersome procedures to join our base. Show this identification card to the soldier at the gate. They will help you with the registration."

Seeing his serious face, Zhu Lin nodded, took the identification card and said, "Thank you."

The soldier nodded and continued working. Looking at the small metal plate, Zhu Lin gave the soldier a thoughtful look, then walked towards the gate.

As the soldiers said, when she showed the little metal plate to the guards at the gate, they let her in without even asking for her name. After returning the small metal plate to the soldiers inside the gate, she walked towards the base. When she walked through the gate corridor, what Zhu Lin saw was different from what she imagined.

In front of her is not a bustling town, but a large area full of tents and simple small rooms. Looking at the materials of those small rooms, Zhu Lin was convinced that they could all be considered garbage. Some even build rooms out of paper. Walking on the narrow and dirty path, she found that there were at least three people living in every room that was only three square meters in size.

When she looked at those people, those people were also looking at her. However, when they saw her clothes stained with blood, none of those people dared to provoke her. Zhu Lin walked along the narrow path while observing the surrounding environment.

Tu Tu, who was sitting on her shoulder, covered its little nose and said, [Master, the smell here is really unbearable. The lives of these humans are indeed worse than those of animals. How do they live in such a smelly and dirty place?]

Zhu Lin agreed with her rabbit, but said nothing. She walked for a while before passing that crowded and dirty place. Walking out of the narrow road, what greeted her was another gate. She looked up at the wall and saw many soldiers patrolling with weapons in their hands.

Seeing that everyone could pass through the second gate without registering again, Zhu Lin followed the people in front of her and walked in. When it was her turn, the soldiers guarding the gate took one look at her and let her go.

Having seen the harsh environment when she came in, Zhu Lin and Tu Tu no longer have high expectations for this base. When she walked through the gate corridor, the scenery in front of her and the crowded place before her were like two different worlds.

Not far from the second gate, there are many people setting up stalls, and when she looks forward, many tall buildings are being built in an orderly manner. The scenery is exactly the same as the bustling city in the Mortal Realm.

She thought for a while, looked back, and said, [This base… it seems to isolate the people who live there.]

Tu Tu pointed at a direction and said, [Master, look.]

Zhu Lin followed the rabbit's paw and saw another high wall and gate in the distance.

Tu Tu looked around and said, [The layout of this place is similar to that of demon city. I believe that the people who live behind that door are important people.]

When they walked around the second ring of the base, Zhu Lin overheard some interesting information.

First, most of the people who can live in the second ring are those who have enough wealth, merchants and scavengers, or supernatural beings. As for the people living in the outer ring of the base, they are all ordinary people with no ability or wealth. They could stay in this base only because the army took pity on them and arranged the outer ring to let them stay.

The second information is that the second ring of the base is the central activity of this base. Almost all important buildings operate within this second ring, including the mission hall and trading hall.

For all the people living in this base, the mission hall and the trading hall are the most important buildings, because they can accept and report missions to earn some points or supplies in the mission hall, and trade in a safer condition in the trading hall.
