C560 Conscience Is Not Pain Only for Money
In this land known as Zhongzhou, there were practically no ordinary people, because ordinary people would definitely not be able to survive here.
It wasn't just about how strict it was or how the strong preyed on the weak ? Just based on the high prices alone, it was enough to make 99% of the ordinary people starve to death!
Dian Feng and the rest wanted to head to the imperial city, but there were no Transfer Array from Nanyang City that could reach the imperial city. At most, they could be sent to a large city of the lower level.
The Central Region was divided into four levels: the imperial city, the divine city, and the small city.
Nanyang City was the smallest city in size. Only the Divine City had Transfer Array s that travelled to the capital, but the frequency and time of their teleportation were strictly controlled. Only the ancient city of the imperial grade could activate the Transfer Array at any time and teleport people to the imperial city.
"It's almost sunset. Today, the last Transfer Array that leads to the Nine Suns Divine City will be activated in an hour. We have to hurry, otherwise, we can only wait for tomorrow morning." Tian Hua said to the rest.
All of this time was strictly controlled!
When the group of people arrived at the plaza in the center of South Sun City, every single ancient city had Transfer Array s set up in the center of the city, and it was the same for South Sun City.
At this moment, the sun was waning and the sun was setting in the west. It was almost time for dinner.
However, in order to make this trip to the Transfer Array s, they did not eat dinner, and instead stood in line.
"One, two, three ?" Tian Hua squinted his eyes, and stared at the people ranked first, and then counted down one by one, counting the Chen Feng who was ranked last among the ten people, "... Forty-nine, hey, we're really lucky! "
"Why are you counting?" Dian Feng asked.
Tian Hua laughed lightly: "Heh heh, this Transfer Array, can only send a maximum of fifty people on each trip. The last of us was also ranked forty-ninth. Looks like we can all catch this last bus. "
Everyone nodded in understanding as they smiled in a gratified manner.
Not long after Tian Hua finished speaking, a soldier dressed in armor walked over and pointed at the young man in the 50th row, and said: "Alright, he's number 50. The person standing behind him, please go early tomorrow morning!"
The young man standing behind Chen Feng revealed a happy smile, but the people lining up behind him were all disappointed. After all, it was fine to leave tomorrow.
"This great master City Guard, can it be convenient? My brother who lives in Nine Suns Divine City is at death's door, I am rushing over to give him a life-saving pellet!" Suddenly, a youth that was standing fifty li away ran over and said to the armored soldier.
However, that soldier of the City Guard only shook his head coldly and said: "The Transfer Array can only carry fifty people at a time. This is the last shift for today, we have to get back from work. You can come back tomorrow."
"But, but my brother can't last past night!" The youth looked excited, and his face revealed a begging expression.
The City Guard soldier with a helmet on his head, whose face could not be seen, snorted coldly. "Since you know that your brother's life is at stake, why didn't you come earlier and rush to the morning Transfer Array s before that?!"
This kind of thing, this City Guard soldier had seen this too many times.
Some said that his family's old man was on the verge of death, hoping to make sense of the situation; some said that he was being hunted down, and didn't dare to stay in Nanyang City for even a second; some even said that a certain relative of his was some grand character of Central State Capital, and wanted to give him special privileges ?
There were endless excuses, but it was more or less a routine. He just wanted to break the rules.
Rules, in the eyes of this City Guard, was very important, and could not be easily violated. The City Guard team stationed here had received the orders from the City Lord Palace in Nanyang City. Without the order from the City Lord, they could not let one more person go.
This was their job, if they did not comply, they might be fired by the City Lord.
He might even lose his life!
Because the Transfer Array, under the restrictions of the materials used to set up the array, the range of the array, and the people who set it up, could only teleport fifty people at a time.
Before the City Guard came here, the manager here was not him, but the captain of another City Guard.
The team leader accepted the bribe in private and released two more people during the teleportation. A total of fifty-two people were teleported together.
The squad leader thought it was flawless and that it was a trivial matter that no one would be able to investigate.
When the Space Gate was activated, fifty-two people went in. However, the array formation on the Nine Suns Divine City did not receive fifty-two people!
The two of them had disappeared together, which attracted attention and led to an investigation.
As a result, there were two more people. This resulted in them being unable to bear the weight of the tunnels between the gaps in the void during their teleportation. This resulted in them being separated from their original paths and being completely lost in the void!
Being lost in the crevice of the void meant death!
That squad leader was taken to the center of the market to behead the public! His head was still hanging there, leaving only his bones behind.
Since then, no one dared to let another person pass. The person in charge would count them over and over again for fear of making a mistake!
"My lord, I beg of you, please let me through! "My brother really can't last through tonight, this is not an excuse, I can swear on my source!"
"Alright!" The leader of the City Guard coldly snorted. The only thing that revealed the armor was a pair of eyes, and said coldly, "I don't care if what you say is true or false, I still want to live for a few more years. I definitely cannot let one more person pass!"
If anything happened, the little captain who had beheaded everyone earlier would be his example!
"However, if there is someone who is willing to give up his seat to you, I can allow you to exchange with him however you wish." The City Guard Captain changed his tone slightly and said gently.
In the end, he was not a cold-hearted person. As long as he did not have an extra fifty, the rest were not principles, and could be accommodated.
"Thank you, master!" The youngster was overjoyed. His eyes that were filled with longing and hope glanced over the top fifty people.
This gaze was very sincere, Dian Feng felt moved, he felt that he could let this youth go first, in any case, he was not in a hurry.
However, a middle-aged Daoist who was standing in front of Dian Feng and the others opened his mouth first, and laughed: "Little brother, I can give my seat to you."
"Really? "Many thanks ?"
"However, the condition is that you have to give me thirty High-grade Spiritual Stone, what do you think?" A gleam of light flashed across the eyes of the middle-aged Daoist. He felt that this was an opportunity to earn money. This boy had urgent matters to attend to and could use this opportunity to strike a blow against him!
Dian Feng frowned, he could not help but glance at the middle aged man, and a look of disgust flashed past his eyes.
Thirty High-grade Spiritual Stone s? Riding this formation once, would only cost ten High-grade Spiritual Stone!
To dare to take such a price, it was an obvious robbery! Moreover, in this kind of situation, Dian Feng felt that it was not good to rob someone, but he couldn't say anything.
However, what surprised Dian Feng was that there was someone else who raised the price.
"Heh, little brother, give me twenty-five pills and I'll give you my seat. How about it?"
The youth had a troubled expression on his face. He was only a twenty-eight year old boy. Purchasing medicines had already cost him almost all of his wealth. He really couldn't take out any more money.
