Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Along the way, the two constantly communicated, and Tang Wen gained a general impression of Sanlian City.

It was still a place where martial artists were respected.

However, there were some city regulations and law enforcement departments, preventing martial artists from doing whatever they wanted.

Gunpowder weapons were beginning to take shape in Sanlian City. Ordinary people couldn't see them, but each major family and law enforcement department had one.

The silver revolver had considerable power.

It posed a threat to everyone below the Gang Wu realm, which is everyone below the Queen level.

In simple terms, it could injure transcendents and kill martial masters.

In addition, Sanlian City had textile factories, clothing stores, and major forces had private tailors. People dressed cleanly and presentably when going out.

There were restaurants of all sizes to eat at, and you could eat whatever you wanted. The most popular were hot pot and barbecue.

Ordinary people lived in three- or four-story buildings.

And the tallest building in the city was dozens of stories high, called the White Stone Building.

As for water, the water company had piped water to many places.

Although Bai Youruo didn't say it explicitly, Tang Wen understood that "many places" probably meant wealthy areas and martial artist residences.

Slums definitely didn't have it.

People cooked at home using gas tanks.

There were large public carriages for transportation, the kind with tracks...

The previous things were fine, but hearing this, Tang Wen asked strangely, "Public carriages?"

"Yes, it's the kind of railcar similar to a steam train, with one to three low-level alien beasts pulling the large carriage!"

The Bai family's young lady was secretly surprised by his focus. How come Tang Wen didn't react to the new things she mentioned before?

But he reacted so strongly to the public carriages?

Tang Wen sighed inwardly: I wonder what exactly the "cataclysm" was?

Was the civilization destroyed so thoroughly?

Logically speaking, with the strength of martial artists, they should have dug out the underground civilization ruins long ago.

How come after so much research, there's still no electricity?

The Bai family's young lady continued to introduce the prosperity of Sanlian City and many advanced civilization objects.

"Music boxes that can play music... the music is played by harmonicas and erhus."

"Mm-hmm," Tang Wen's expression was calm, but he felt a little complicated.

The civilization was destroyed so thoroughly, it seemed a bit unusual.

He asked, "Since the Bai family has exploration teams, I wonder what the cataclysm was like?"

"This?" Bai Youruo revealed a troubled expression: "Actually, I don't know much either. Scholars have various guesses. Some think it was war, some think it was a natural disaster, and some think it was an accident similar to a god destroying the world."

"I see," Tang Wen looked like he agreed.

But deep down, he felt that none of the three guesses were reliable.

What war could completely destroy the traces of civilization?

Not even nuclear war!

So many nuclear shelters, and extremely strong martial artists, someone should have survived, right?

The reconstruction of civilization should be built on a high level and recover quickly.

At least electricity and large machinery should exist.

It shouldn't be like this, where hundreds of years have passed, and the camps are still living in primitive times.

Natural disasters were even more absurd. Floods, flash floods, earthquakes, and forest fires can destroy a city, but can they destroy a civilization?

As for the gods destroying the world, Tang Wen thought about it carefully, and surprisingly, this seemingly most absurd guess, because it's unknowable, might be able to destroy every civilization in the world!

"Does Sanlian City believe in gods?" he couldn't help but ask.

Flame Camp didn't believe in gods.

At least there were no temples or statues.

Farmers at most knelt down and worshiped the ethereal heavens.

"We martial artists, of course, don't believe. However, the surrounding villages believe in the Dragon King," Bai Youruo laughed: "During droughts like this, farmers worship the Dragon King, but if it doesn't rain for half a month and the crops in the fields die, they will drag the Dragon King's statue out of the temple, expose it to the sun, and whip it..."

Tang Wen nodded slightly: I'm familiar with this, believe if it works, beat if it doesn't!

The rulers of Sanlian City were martial artists.

Martial artists didn't believe in gods, and relying only on ordinary people, they couldn't develop any powerful religious sects.

After saying a few more words, Miss Bai returned to martial arts:

"I heard that Flame Camp practices the Mountain-Opening Cannon Fist?"

"Yes, I wonder what kind of technique Miss Bai practices?"

"The Ice Soul Technique passed down in my family," Bai Youruo said: "Unfortunately, I'm not transcendent, otherwise, traveling in this hot weather wouldn't be so difficult."

Tang Wen asked some more questions about the techniques.

Bai Youruo's heart stirred, he likes practicing martial arts.

She said, "Ordinary visualization techniques can only be practiced to the Gang Wu realm, which is your Queen's realm."

Tang Wen knew this. The camp's techniques only went up to the Gang Wu realm, the level of transcendent secondary awakening.

Beyond that, there were no techniques to practice.

However, he wasn't even transcendent yet, so there was no need to worry so far ahead.

Bai Youruo said: "There are hundreds of martial arts schools in Sanlian City, each with visualization martial arts, fists, legs, palms, eighteen weapons, hidden weapons, everything, even mental secrets."

After becoming transcendent, one could learn mental secrets.

"Can you learn by paying money?" Tang Wen asked.

"Ordinary visualization martial arts, you can learn as long as you become an inner disciple. But some secret techniques require you to completely become one of us, to become a direct disciple!"

Tang Wen: "I understand. But I don't know what 'becoming one of us' refers to?"

"Every force, every martial arts school, has enemies."

"Understood!"

It seemed that Sanlian City was a city composed of countless martial arts forces.

The way the major forces communicated was still very primitive and direct.

Under the constraints of city rules, assassination and martial arts competitions might be the main theme of their struggles.

Tang Wen touched the sand wolf under him: Why does it feel like fighting for territory with alien beasts?

Looking at his thoughtful appearance, Bai Youruo smiled even more brightly.

For two days, she learned from other guards that Tang Wen was a young genius.

Less than eighteen years old, he could explode dozens of times and defeat a first-class martial master!

Even in Sanlian City, this kind of record was enough to be called a "genius."

This was still because the guards didn't know Tang Wen, otherwise, knowing that he was only sixteen years old now.

Miss Bai, who claimed to be from a big city and had seen the world, would probably be so surprised that her mouth wouldn't close.

Seeing that Tang Wen was interested in martial arts, Bai Youruo took the opportunity to say a lot.

And Tang Wen's serious listening appearance.

Made her feel that she had at least a thirty to forty percent chance of "luring" the other party away and making him her assistant.

"To be honest, ordinary martial arts schools and gangs, fighting and killing all day long, are not good places. Our Bai family is eager for talents and welcomes all martial masters to join."

Tang Wen's eyes flashed, keenly noticing a familiar taste: Empty promises!

Good家伙，Long-lost empty promises啊!

Could it be that the Bai family in Sanlian City is still capitalists?

Bai Youruo continued: "Our Bai family, in addition to the Ice Department's unique skills, also has several core training methods for the Fire Department and Thunder Department."

Tang Wen's eyes lit up, revealing eight white teeth, staring at her pretty face without blinking.

Just like a white-faced coach in the gym who tells a female member that he doesn't want to work hard!

"If a genius like Commander Tang Wen joins, he will definitely have the opportunity to achieve above Gang Wu!"

"Really?" Tang Wen smiled.

"Of course!"

Steady!

A genius from a barren land is really easy to deceive!

And Tang Wen's smile made Bai Youruo feel a little lost for a moment: This young lady was originally planning to use a beauty trap!

"After passing the outpost ahead, and walking for a while, Flame Camp will be here."

More than an hour later, Bai Youruo arrived at the gate of Flame Camp.

Upon entering, she discovered that this place was indeed different from other camps.

The ground was clean, and the people's clothes could be considered neat.

There were guards patrolling the city, and ordinary people didn't need to avoid them, walking on the streets with a calm expression.

She and the two girls exchanged glances, secretly sighing: This small camp in the northwest frontier actually has some resemblance to Sanlian City.

Entering the inner city, the roads were wide, the stone houses were neat, and there were sporadic shops along the street.

The three girls looked at everything, quite novel.
