"Everyone, please work harder. We will arrive at Black Rock City soon. We should be able to sleep peacefully tonight!"

Meng Xian, disgraced, forced herself to smile and encourage the people accompanying her.

The group of people traveled more than a hundred kilometers, eating, drinking, and eating outdoors, and finally arrived near Black Rock City on another night.

"Sister Meng, I have something to tell you..."

Xiao Liu suddenly grabbed Meng Xian.

Meng Xian seemed to realize something and motioned for others to go first.

When only the two of them were left, Xiao Liu spoke with a complicated expression.

"Sister Meng, I like you..."

"I know!"

Xiao Liu pursed his lips and said, "I asked you before what kind of man you would find..."

"You said at that time that if you want to be your man, you must be stronger than you..."

"So, as an ordinary person, I decided to become an enhancer. Not only did I want to become a dual-attribute enhancer like you, I also wanted to become a three-attribute enhancer..."

"But when I actually used the agility gene potion, I realized how amazing it is that you can withstand the pain caused by dual attribute enhancement..."

Xiaoliu looked bitter and shook his head: "I thought I was dead at that time. Fortunately, I survived. It was a nightmare, a dream that I dare not try again..."

"Since then, I have never dared to say that I like you. I know that I am not qualified. I don't even dare to try to strengthen my strength..."

Meng Xian listened expressionlessly. She had seen too many companions die after using gene potions.

They agreed to support each other, but in the end she was the only one left.

A smile appeared on Xiaoliu's face, "After so long of buffering, I finally mustered up the courage again..."

"The second-level enhancement has a very high mortality rate. I'm worried that if I don't say these things now, I won't have a chance in the future..."

Having said this, he looked relieved and said with a smile: "Sister Meng, thank you. If it weren't for you on this journey, I might have died long ago..."

He never thought that the person who illuminated the light of hope in the end of the world was not a god, but a woman.

Looking at Meng Xian's face that was still beautiful despite the vicissitudes of life, he couldn't help but said: "Sister Meng, if I succeed this time, can you give me a chance?!"

Meng Xian smiled, "I said that if you want to be my man, you must at least be stronger than me. Do you think your second level can be stronger than me?!"

Xiaoliu's eyes suddenly darkened, as if there was no light left.

At this time, Meng Xian asked again, "Are you only satisfied with the second level?"

Xiao Liu was startled for a moment and looked up at her in confusion.

Meng Xian continued: "I have met many people along the way, some who make my heart beat, some with noble qualities..."

"I once had people who liked each other. We made an agreement to strengthen each other and be together forever..."

"It's a pity that when I walked out with the belief that I would be with him forever, he didn't come out!"

Meng Xian's face was full of loneliness, and she sighed, "If you can become a third-level enhancer, and I haven't become a fourth-level enhancer yet..."

"Really?!"

Xiaoliu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "Sister Meng, as long as I become the third level, are you really willing to follow me?!"

"Pay attention to your wording. It's you and me, not me and you. Another point is that before you become the third level, if I fall in love with someone else, then let it go..." Meng Xian emphasized, but there was something in her eyes.

There is no trace of love.

She knew very well that she didn't like Xiao Liu, but she wanted him to live and give him the confidence to live.

Xiao Liu didn't think too much, all he could think about was becoming the third level. After a while, his eyes gradually became firm, and he nodded: "Sister Meng, I will definitely survive!"

"Let's go!"

Meng Xian patted his shoulder and walked forward.

She couldn't accept someone calling her sister. She was also a woman and wanted to find a man she could rely on.

But it's a pity that in these last days, it seems that we can't meet such people.

The two of them caught up with the team after walking for a while.

The team stopped at the edge of a rice field. In the distance, densely packed camps and crowds of people walking back and forth made everyone burst into tears.

"Finally here!"

Meng Xian once again recalled the excitement she felt when she saw so many people here when she first came to Black Rock City.

None of the three enhancers in the team were here for the first time, but the other people accompanying them were basically here for the first time.

Meng Xian introduced with a smile: "What you see in front is not Black Stone City. The real Black Stone City is behind, protected by serious city walls..."

"These camps are for people who can't afford the entry fee or buy a house in the city, but are reluctant to leave Black Rock City..."

"So many?!" someone exclaimed. As far as the eye could see, there were not even ten thousand but eight thousand people in sight.

"This is just the east gate of Black Rock City. Black Rock City has four gates in total, and there are a large number of tents outside each gate..."

"Let's go!"

Meng Xian took the lead and led everyone towards that direction.

When everyone got closer, they discovered that although the outside of the city looked chaotic, it was actually in order, and there were some people with blue armbands maintaining order.

Moreover, all the tents are neatly placed, and it is obvious that someone has specially planned them. Especially in the middle, there is a road more than 30 meters wide, with only pedestrians and no tents.

"This main road is often driven by people from the city, so tents are not allowed..."

Just as he said this, the crowd was in a panic and quickly gave way.

I saw four or five cars roaring towards me on the road.

Meng Xian quickly led everyone to dodge.

"Off-road vehicle!"

Everyone is a little envious. In the apocalypse, those who can still drive are all powerful people.

Although the five off-road vehicles in front of them were in tatters and did not even have a shelter to protect them from the wind and rain, they still did not conceal the longing gaze of everyone.

"In the future, we will definitely be able to get a car like this!" Meng Xian saw everyone's obsessed eyes and said quickly to cheer her up.

In fact, cars are quite common, and some larger automobile cities still have many intact cars.

In the apocalypse, what is really scarce is gasoline. Before the gas stations were full, individual people could still find some, but when these ownerless resources were exhausted, if they wanted to get gasoline, they would have to buy it from the big forces.

The price of oil is a figure that ordinary people dare not even think about. This has also led to the fact that cars are a luxury product that only powerful people can afford. It is not only a symbol of appearance but also a symbol of strength.

Most of the people nearby were not surprised and were just discussing what kind of force this convoy was in the city.

Only people like Meng Xian and others who came from nearby would show envy.

"Is this your first time here?!"

At this time, a middle-aged man who didn't know what kind of glue he used to comb his hair back came over with a lewd expression.

"There is a fee to enter the city. If you come here for the first time, you can live outside the city. I happen to have a group of tents under my command. You can rent them..."

"No need!" Before the man could finish, Meng Xian interrupted casually: "I know the boss of the Seven-ringed Snake..."

"Seven-ringed snake?!"

The wretched man was startled, looked at several people up and down, and quickly retreated.

This made several people behind them puff up their chests, as if this was a great thing.

Xiaoliu coughed, quietly approached and asked: "Sister Meng, what kind of organization is the Seven-ringed Snake?!"

Meng Xian smiled slightly, turned to look at everyone, and explained: "Blackstone City is very big, and there are six ring roads in it. According to the old times, there are at most six rings..."

"And the Seven Rings refer to these camps outside the city. Of course, people in the city don't recognize the Seven Rings, but people outside the city think this is the Seven Rings..."

"Seven-ringed snakes are a force in the seventh ring outside the east gate of Blackstone City. They are responsible for managing eight camps..."

Meng Xian pointed to the camps on both sides of the road and said, "See these squares. Each piece of land is considered a camp. These camps are controlled by these gangs..."

"We have about thirty or forty camps here at the east gate, and there are more than ten or twenty gangs of various sizes, and the Seven-ringed Snake is one of them..."

Xiao Liu scratched his head and said: "Sister Meng, don't we go to the city?!"

Meng Xian couldn't help but smile, pointing to the goods she was pulling behind her, and said: "I'm afraid the city fee won't even be enough for this little thing, so we'll handle it here at the Seventh Ring Road..."

After her introduction, everyone understood that every time they come here to trade, they are not actually going to Blackstone City to trade, but trading in these camps outside Blackstone City. There are multiple trading center markets, and

Various people setting up stalls.

Some forces in the city do not want to pay the fees for goods entering the city, so they process them here in advance, and there are also forces from outside who bring goods here to process them.

"Then didn't we live in the city last time?"

Xiao Liu was a little confused. He didn't know much about Black Rock City. When he came here before, Meng Xian handled it all by himself and entered the city directly.

Meng Xian shook her head and said: "Last time we took the exclusive privileged channel of Luwei Group. Only those who signed up to use the gene potion can enjoy it. So this time, you two go in and I want to stay outside for one night..."

"Ah? Sister Meng, didn't you say that you want to inquire about Zhao Yu's news from that manager Huang?!" Xiaoliu said in confusion.

Meng Xian smiled and said: "I have other ways to get in, but I have to wait until tomorrow. You two can go in first today..."

"What about you?!"

"We can just live outside. The rent for these tents is not expensive, and besides, I have acquaintances..."

Xiaoliu then remembered that Meng Xian said before that she knew the boss of the Seven-ringed Snake.

"Okay..."

……

After more than two hours of trekking, Zhao Yu finally arrived near the destination with his convoy.

Far away, he saw a camp made of wood.

"Stop!"
