Thanks for the monthly votes… Seeing Tang Miao ponder for a long time and only say two words, which were still unhopeful! Then there was no follow-up. Zhao Manyan said discontentedly, "Big brother, do you have to be so greedy!?"
Looking at Zhao Manyan's pleading expression, Tang Miao then said, as if sharing resources, "Jingjing and Zhao Mingyue have also reached C! Especially that cold beauty, she should also have D-level talent. The most hidden one is Bai Tingting."
"Hiss~"
Hearing this, Zhao Manyan was filled with envy… but he was also a little curious, "You don't have Shadow magic, how did you get there without being discovered?"
Tang Miao smiled smugly and said, "I scouted ahead and waited."
"Damn it! You don't do anything that's considered decent!"
He didn't bother with Zhao Manyan anymore and thought to himself, "I didn't expect my little concubine to have D-level potential. I wonder if that silly girl Aitu Tu, once she drops her disguise, will directly surpass Tang Yue?"
...In the middle of the night... Outside the tent, a figure darted into the woods at an extremely fast speed, looking very anxious.
Tang Miao, who was resting, heard the commotion, observed for a moment, and seeing that it was the sneaky Lu Zhenghe, he didn't bother and lay down to continue resting.
Tang Miao naturally knew what he was doing. However, he certainly wouldn't stop such a thing. After all, if he got it, it would be his biggest life-saving trump card.
While Tang Miao didn't pay attention, Zhao Manyan, who was on night watch, heard the commotion and asked a question.
However, after the other party responded that he was peeing, he didn't pay any more attention... The next day, after everyone woke up, Lu Zhenghe led the way, and everyone once again set off for Jinlin City.
The journey was arduous, traversing mountains and rivers, and clearing obstacles...
Apart from the thrilling experience in the cave, the entire process for the seventeen people was relatively smooth, and they did not encounter such large groups of monsters again.
After walking for nearly ten days, the remote Jinlin City finally appeared in everyone's sight.
This was a mountain range, with a train tunnel still cutting through it. This time, everyone chose not to go through the dark tunnel, preferring to climb over it directly.
Once they climbed to the top of the mountain, they immediately saw a vast plains basin, an endless expanse of plains and low hills stretching out to the west, all visible at a glance.
Everyone stared at the abandoned Jinlin City, all in a daze.
However, it was actually normal; places where monsters resided would definitely be like this. The houses, streets, and roads were all ruined beyond recognition, and plants, nourished by monster droppings, grew very quickly, with vines, moss, and grass covering everything.
"Let's go, we'll first scout the outskirts and count how many monsters are roaming here," Song Xia said.
The outskirts of Jinlin City were a very wide flat area, surrounded by a forest. This forest encircling the city was one of the points to be scouted. To determine if the city had any meaning for reconstruction, they first needed to know the surrounding conditions, whether it was completely occupied by monsters.
After some searching, although they encountered a few monsters, they were all of the servant-class, posing no threat to them. And they easily dealt with them...
Lu Zhenghe, riding his Shadow Wolf, looked at everyone and said, "Now it's time to search inside. Should we search separately or together?"
"Let's go together. Although it's slower, it will be safer," Song Xia suggested.
The others agreed with Song Xia's suggestion. Lu Zhenghe had a Shadow Wolf, so as long as he didn't encounter commander-level monsters or a large number of them, it wasn't impossible for him to complete the survey alone.
But they might not be able to... After all, they didn't have a warrior-level summoned beast. As for Tang Miao, he was just going with the flow; wherever everyone wanted to go, he'd go.
Anyway, with his current strength, although he couldn't fight off a monster encirclement, if he couldn't beat them, he could just run!
Escaping wasn't a big problem.
Upon entering the desolate city, monster droppings were everywhere... The nearby air was also extremely foul.
Looking at the desolation around them, Bai Tingting said, her chest heaving, "Before we start exploring, let's find a place to settle down."
Hearing this, Tang Miao looked back, and indeed, after seeing her true face last night, it felt a little different today?
Moreover, even Mu Nujiao, who was beside him... felt almost transparent...
As if noticing Tang Miao's gaze, Mu Nujiao asked in confusion, "Why are you staring at me?"
Tang Miao smiled and said, "Because you're beautiful..."
Mu Nujiao gave him a glare, her two slender legs taking large strides, as if to distance herself from Tang Miao.
"We've entered a desolate city where monsters roam freely, facing danger at any time, so our resting place must be safe enough. At least, when we encounter danger, we must be able to evacuate quickly and defend well…" Lu Zhenghe said, giving his opinion after hearing Bai Tingting speak.
"Then where should we settle down?" Song Xia asked.
At the same time, Mo Fan pointed to a building and said, "How about that building over there?"
Hearing this, the others looked over.
"You're quite good at choosing places..."
Then Song Xia smiled, compared it with the map, and said, "That should be Jinlin's Municipal Building."
The others had no objections, so everyone headed towards the Municipal Building.
As for Tang Miao, he was chatting sweet nothings with Mu Nujiao. Although he was constantly rejected, he seemed to have suddenly become like a plaster, impossible to shake off... Fortunately, Tang Miao was never too excessive, which was why Mu Nujiao didn't drive him away.
