Unknowingly, Tang Zhen and others had reached the edge of the monster city.
Although the area of the monster city is huge, even in no way inferior to those super cities in the original world, it does not have a transportation network that extends in all directions like the cities in the original world.
Although it is called a city and is built based on human cities, there are no humans living here, and the brain circuits of the builders are completely different from real humans.
This can be seen through all kinds of strange buildings. Even many buildings look quite normal, but in fact they have no doors or windows at all!
Therefore, for monster cities, roads only waste land and metal resources, so they are rarely paved. Even if there are roads, they have special functions.
After glancing at the edge of the monster city, Uncle Jim turned to look at Tang Zhen and others, and shrugged helplessly.
"Guys, we seem to be late. Those good entrance positions have been occupied by others. We can only choose to be in the edge area!"
Uncle Jim glanced at the abandoned people on the edge of the city, showing a hint of annoyance, but it disappeared immediately.
Because he knew very well that with Tang Zhen's help this time, even if they didn't grab the best position, they might still come home with a full load!
Morris said from the side: "Uncle Jim, have you forgotten these guys?
Since the good location has been occupied, wouldn't it be better if we directly occupy their original entrance?"
When Uncle Jim heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement with Morris's suggestion.
"Does the difference in location also affect the harvest?"
Tang Zhen noticed Uncle Jim's previous expression and asked casually.
Knowing that Tang Zhen didn't know much about the common sense of abandoned people, Uncle Jim didn't feel surprised at all, but explained it carefully.
"The entrances to the monster city all open in one direction, which is the area we are currently in.
Although the number of entrances to the monster city seems to be quite large, the interiors are very different. Some entrances are full of dangers, some entrances are empty, and some entrances often contain food seeds.
After years of exploration, people have basically mastered the information inside these entrances. Although as the monster city continues to expand, there will definitely be changes inside, but it will not change too much!"
Uncle Jim explained, and then pointed to a group of abandoned people at the entrance and continued: "According to the rules agreed upon among the abandoned people, whichever group occupies the frontmost position at the entrance will have priority to enter.
Because we arrived too late, we couldn't occupy a good entrance position, which would definitely affect the harvest, but fortunately we defeated these bastards, so the position that originally belonged to them is now ours!"
"The advantage of entering first does not seem to be big. Wouldn't other teams enter soon after?"
Tang Zhen looked puzzled when he heard this, and asked again in a doubtful tone.
"Sir, you may not know that this monster city looks lifeless, but we think it is alive!
Because as long as a team enters it, the road inside will immediately change. Even if the second team follows closely, they will enter a new road!
But compared to those dangerous entrances, even if the inside of these robbed entrances has changed, the chance of obtaining food seeds is still not low!"
Uncle Jim said.
"I see, but since food seeds are so precious, won't someone compete for the entrance position?"
As he continued to approach the edge of the monster city, Tang Zhen raised another question.
"In the past, there were people who robbed the entrance, but they were retaliated by the team that was robbed. They attracted the mechanical guardians, causing the robbers to almost die inside!
No group of abandoned people would swallow this bad breath, so the entrance was robbed more than once, and the revenge incidents also continued one after another.
However, the priority right to enter the entrance now only belongs to those stronger teams. They discuss the allocation with each other, and the weak ones do not even have a chance to participate!"
At this point, Uncle Jim sneered, glanced at the abandoned team that occupied the best position and said, "Even if I didn't remind you, sir, you must have noticed that the abandoned team that occupies the best position are actually the most powerful.
Force those bastards!"
Tang Zhen nodded. The facts were indeed as Uncle Jim said. The good places had long been occupied by people, and there were many groups of abandoned people lined up behind them, while the dangerous entrance was empty.
At this time, as Tang Zhen and others approached, they immediately attracted countless peeping glances, full of surprise and confusion. They seemed to be confused as to why they were guarding dozens of prisoners when there were only six of them.
"Jim, what are you doing?"
From the group of abandoned people who were familiar with Uncle Jim on the roadside, an old man with a beard came out. He said hello to Uncle Jim, and then asked in a lowered voice.
"This matter is a bit complicated, let's talk about it later!"
Uncle Jim responded and quietly signaled Morris and others to prepare for a battle that might arise at any time.
The powerful team of abandoned people who occupied the best entrance position also began to look at Tang Zhen and others with uncertain eyes at this moment, and some of them had even reached for the weapons on their bodies.
Because they have to enter the monster city to explore every year, they are relatively familiar with each other. They have already recognized the identities and origins of the captured and abandoned people through their clothes. It is surprising that they are from another group with a different strength than them.
A team of countless abandoned people.
As for Uncle Jim and others, they are rarely noticed because of their weak strength, so the other party has not recognized them yet.
Uncle Jim glanced at it with cold eyes, and then walked straight to one of the entrances, which was prepared for the deserted team.
There was no one at the front of the entrance, but there were more than a dozen teams of abandoned people waiting behind them.
After seeing Uncle Jim approaching, the members of the small team looked at him one after another, their eyes looking very complicated.
"Listen, there are already people here, get out of here right now!"
As soon as Uncle Jim reached the frontmost position of the entrance, an abandoned citizen came over next to him. He looked at Uncle Jim with cold eyes and his tone was extremely unkind.
A sneer appeared on Uncle Jim's lips. He knew very well that this was a test by those powerful abandoned people teams, who wanted to find out what exactly happened so as to avoid accidents while fighting for food seeds.
