"Hu" rail carriage whizzed forward in the forest. When the carriage passed through a dense bush, it suddenly became brighter and a spacious forest city appeared.

The city is very clean and tidy. All the buildings in the city are single-family villas with 2 to 3 stories high, and roads are hidden under the trees in the sky. Along the way, they are all beautifully landscaped boulevards.

Lu Meng whispered: "This is a wealthy area on the ground. Basically, every family here has a considerable industry in the underground Youguang City. The place we are going to is the Kunlin Valley. The defense around the valley is very strong. There is a cave at the deepest point. It goes down the cave, about 500 meters to reach the underground Youguang City."

While speaking, the railcars had already passed through this urban area like the wind. The terrain on both sides of the road continued to rise, slowly turning into two mountains covered with dense vegetation.

"This is the dense forest valley. If you look closely, there are a large number of plug-in defense guns hidden in the woods on both sides."

Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and looked carefully. He really saw a lot of defensive artillery in the woods. There are two main types. One type is nearly 3 meters long, equipped with a sequencer, a high-energy magnetic current generator, and a hexagonal positioner. This is the amazingly powerful large magnetocurrent sniper gun; some artillery barrels are very thick, and the barrel tube mouth is densely covered with a large number of small holes like honeycombs. Zhang Yuan knew this weapon. It is the current main rapid-fire cannon in the Aum Empire, commonly known as the "butcher". It has a range of 5 kilometers and a rate of fire of 1,000 shells per second. It is powerful enough to break through the defense of the upper section of the violent mecha.

The length of the dense forest valley is more than 800 meters. Zhang Yuan found that every 20 meters away, there were blocked anti-cannons on both sides. Once such dense cannons broke out, they could instantly turn the dense forest valley into a life-destined realm.

Even the doomsday pilot cannot fight this defense system head-on.

Lu Meng continued: "The anti-blocking cannon is just one of the means. If you look at the mountains on both sides of the valley, the two mountains look full of vegetation outside, which seems to be naturally generated, but in fact it is not the case. It is artificially built and is made of high-strength materials inside. Even if it is bombarded with large nuclear bombs, it cannot be destroyed. At the critical moment, these two artificial mountains can forcibly close the only exit of Youguang City."

Zhang Yuan frowned when he heard this: "The Jungle Valley is the only exit?"

If something happens and the exit is blocked, wouldn’t he be like a turtle in a jar, leaving only waiting for death?

Lu Meng smiled slightly: "The so-called only exit is just an official statement, but in fact, after hundreds of years of mining, the mines inside Youguang City are well-connected, and no one can tell how many exits there are. I know there are two exits, one is controlled by the Black Dragon Society of the underground gangster in Youguang City, and the other is privately controlled by the consul of Youguang City. Although this consul is loyal to the Landley family, people have their own intentions. That exit is what he uses for escape at a critical moment."

"Oh~" Zhang Yuan felt relieved.

"Hu~" The carriage entered the deepest passage in the dense forest valley. The light on both walls suddenly dimmed, and orange wall lights appeared around it, and the carriage speed slowed down.

In the carriage, Zhang Yuan could feel a slight sense of weightlessness, which told him that they were currently going downstairs and entering the depths of the ground.

The feeling of weightlessness lasted for about 10 seconds, and then the car stopped, and a prompt sounded in the car: "Emerald Forest: Youguang City Station has arrived."

"Che~" The carriage slid to both sides, and suddenly, a humid air mixed with the smell of earth came to his nose. At the same time, there was a noise that rushed into the carriage.

As soon as Zhang Yuan and Lu Meng walked out of the car, a middle-aged man with a vulgar appearance came over. He smiled enthusiastically and showed his big yellow teeth: "Sir, Miss, do you want to stay? Good Dream Hotel, 200 Star Shields a day, let you enjoy the warmth of home."

As soon as he finished speaking, another thin and lonely woman snatched it up again: "Two, do you need a guide? You are full of passages in Youguang City, just like a maze. It's your first time to come. If you don't have a guide, you will definitely get lost."

"100 Star Shield One Day, Gold Medal Guide, can meet any of your requirements." Another little girl rushed up.

Lu Meng's face was covered with frost, and she waved her hand slightly: "Go aside! Don't block the way!"

To Zhang Yuan and Lu Meng were gentle, but to others, she immediately showed the fierce nature of a strong woman, with amazing momentum, and she immediately stopped people from thousands of miles away. She immediately calmed down several guys who were selling hotels and guides.

"Follow me." Lu Meng whispered to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan nodded and followed Lu Meng silently. Soon, the two walked out of the spacious underground station, and many underground passages leading to all directions appeared in front of them.

These passages are 30 meters wide and more than 20 meters high. They were originally quite spacious, but there were various stalls on both sides of the street, and there were five or six meters of streets on both sides. There were a large number of pipes and wires distributed over the streets, which were as complicated as spider webs, which made the passage very narrow at once.

The passage is not clean either. Perhaps because of the lack of water underground, people here have a strong body odor, their clothes are not clean, and there is a layer of black mud on the ground of the street, emitting a stinking smell of food residues.

After walking in such a passage for more than ten meters, Zhang Yuan felt a little sweat, which was hot. Although there was a fan changing at the top of the passage, the underground passage was still quite stuffy.

The sultry, humid, and dirty air with foul smell is completely different from the rich areas on the ground. There is heaven on the ground and hell on the ground!

The passage is narrow, but there are many people. Some of these people are local residents of Youguang City, and some are travelers from the interstellar world like Zhang Yuan. People walk in the underground passage, frosty and crowding, which is unreasonable.

This place is simply terrible.

"The passage is a bit narrow, and it is a bit inconvenient to use a mecha." Zhang Yuan whispered.

Lu Meng nodded: "Here, if you can do not use the mecha, you won't use it. We mainly do business, and we can defend ourselves with individual weapons."

Zhang Yuan thought about it and agreed with the suggestion.

The two walked forward all the way.

After walking for a while, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a hand touching his wrist. The hand movement was very fast and light, and he actually folded the bracelet directly into Zhang Yuan's space.

Zhang Yuan moved his hand and grabbed the hand, pushed it hard, and with a "click" sound, the man's wrist was dislocated by him.

It was not until this time that Zhang Yuan looked up at the man and found that he was a 16 or 17-year-old boy, tall and thin. Because his wrist was dislocated, the boy had a hint of pain and fear on his face. He wanted to run away, but Lu Meng stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder. Half of his body was numb and he couldn't move at all.

"What's wrong?" Lu Meng asked.

"A thief, let him go." Zhang Yuan said. He was too lazy to pursue the matter, so he waved to the young man and whispered: "Get out!"

Lu Meng let go of his hand, and the young man turned around and ran away, and soon merged into the abortion and disappeared.

She said to Zhang Yuan with an apology: "I forgot to say that there are many thieves in Youguang City, and they are specifically picking us outside cities to attack. This young man should be just a novice, but some thieves have very superb stealing skills and many high-tech equipment. If one of them is not saved, they will be stolen. The last time I came here, a team member installed a mecha bracelet and was stolen, and he was not found in the end."

Zhang Yuan patted his forehead and said speechlessly: "This place is really messy. I will be careful, so where are we going now?"

"Go to Mole Lane, it's about 20 kilometers away from here, and it's where the black miners ship. Those people will intercept some pure spiritual ores in their hands, and their demand is not high. As long as they give them a small amount of star shield, they can buy these ores."

"20 kilometers?" Zhang Yuan looked around and found that there was no means of transportation on the passage.

Lu Meng guessed his thoughts: "This is a pedestrian street, about 1 mile long, we have to walk all the way out and then we will have rickshaws."

"Rickshaw?" Zhang Yuan felt as if he had returned to primitive society.

Lu Meng shrugged: "It's a rickshaw, you have to understand. Most people in Youguang City are slaves, and the lords only need them to work alive and will try their best to reduce the cost of survival for everyone. There is basically no equipment for enjoyment in Youguang City. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, and most of the equipment related to life are solved by human resources. Can you believe that in the interstellar era, each person consumes less than 5 kilowatt-hours of energy per day?"

The more advanced the technology is, the more energy consumed per person. For example, if a person drives an interstellar spacecraft, the energy he consumes in a day may exceed 1 million kilowatt-hours, which is an energy consumption that cannot be imagined by the civilizations of the pre-interstellar era.

The per capita energy consumption of residents of Youguang City Bureau is less than 5 kilowatt-hours, which really shocked Zhang Yuan. This ghost place is indeed a primitive society.

At this time, the two had already squeezed out of the commercial passage. The passage in front became much narrower, only 20 meters wide and 15 meters wide. The air temperature was slightly lowered, but it was still very stuffy and humid. On the side of the road, Zhang Yuan saw the so-called rickshaw, which was almost exactly the same as the tricycle of the Earth Federation hundreds of years ago.

There was a row of these things on the side of the road, and the exquisite coachmen squatted beside the car and chatted. When they saw the two of them looking over, the people immediately spoke up to attract customers.

"My car has just been cleaned here and it's very clean."

"I ride my bike fast and steadily, so I can satisfy you."

"Guest, I'm the cheapest here, only 2 star shields for 10 kilometers~"

This rickshaw was just enough for two people to ride in. Zhang Yuan walked over and picked the cleanest tram. After sitting down with Lu Meng, he was about to take out the star shield, but Lu Meng reached out to block it.

Lu Meng whispered: "Don't give too much money, it's easy to be targeted. Let me do it."

After saying that, she said to the coachman: "Man, we are going to Mole Lane, how much is it?"

"Mole Lane is 25 kilometers away from this, so you need at least 100 star shields, otherwise I won't get there."

Lu Meng then bargained: "Man, you can't scare people. I've been to Youguang City. Mole Street is up to 20 kilometers away. One kilometer is 3 star shields, which is only 60 star shields. Why do you have to collect 100?"

When she said this, the driver was stunned, and then he shouted: "How can I calculate this way? Riding 1 kilometer is different from 20 kilometers. Riding 20 kilometers is very tiring. I can't do other business today, so of course I have to charge more."

"At most, if you don't answer, I'll look for someone else."

"I said, why are you so stingy, not 75? I can't do this business."

"It's 70, do you want it?" Lu Meng was petty and bit the price of 70 to death but didn't let go, and at the same time he pulled Zhang Yuan to leave.

The coachman immediately compromised: "Okay, okay, I'll just make friends, just 70, just 70!"

Lu Meng then handed the Star Shield over. The coachman carefully hid it in his underwear pocket, then pedaled the bike and pulled the two of them all the way to Mole Street.

Zhang Yuan looked at it and felt very novel. Zhang Yuan had experienced this kind of bargaining appearance when he was on Earth in his previous life. At that time, his father left the family and the salary he found was not high. When he occasionally took Zhang Yuan to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, he bargained with the vegetable dealer like this.

During that time, Zhang Yuan was an ordinary boy, and his life was peaceful and ordinary. He thought it was nothing at the time, but when he thought about it, it was the most carefree and happy time he had ever experienced.

He didn't expect that Lu Meng, a woman who was so proud and cold, would do this. He suddenly felt that Lu Meng's life atmosphere became much stronger and his whole body became much more friendly. He was no longer a lofty iceberg beauty.

Lu Meng saw Zhang Yuan in a daze and explained in a low voice: "These coachmen have something to do with the black dragon in Youguang City. They are the eyeliners of the gang. If a certain interstellar traveler reveals his wealth, he will easily be targeted by the black dragon, or kidnap and blackmail, or kill people and take money and throw away the body, and do everything he can. We cannot cause these troubles now."

Zhang Yuan nodded gently and reached out to grab Lu Meng's hand: "I know."

Lu Meng's body shook slightly, then a quiet smile appeared on her face, and her head naturally leaned on Zhang Yuan's shoulder.

Afterwards, the two of them snuggled quietly along the way, with the sound of the simple mechanical transmission gear of the rickshaw truck in their ears, and around them were the residents of Youguang City who were busy with life. The dim lights fell from the top of the passage, placing everything here with a dim yellow luster.

In this backward city like a yellow old photo, Zhang Yuan's always tense mind suddenly relaxed. All the tension, worries and worries passed away with the wind, and the turmoil in his heart disappeared and he became very calm.

Turning his eyes and looking at Lu Meng's beautiful face, he saw Lu Meng's dark eyes raised. After the two of them were facing each other, they would smile. Zhang Yuan naturally put his hands on Lu Meng's waist.

When the rickshaw drove 10 kilometers, Zhang Yuan, who had completely relaxed his mind, suddenly heard the voice of the master's mind in his mind: "The master's body broke through the violent level, the current physical strength progress: Doomsday 1/1000000!"

"The master has achieved the achievement of 'beyond the previous life', with the upper limit of the brutal point +500, and the current brutal point is 130."

When the sound sounded, Zhang Yuan felt that his body suddenly became unprecedentedly transparent and comfortable. This feeling was like after three days and three nights of training, he suddenly took a hot bath, which was extremely comfortable.

‘Is this breakthrough so easy?’

Zhang Yuan originally thought it would be very painful, but he was ready to bear the pain, but he didn't expect that he would break through so simply. But then he thought that he had been practicing hard for a while, and it would be natural to break through now.

The rickshaw continued to move forward. When the rickshaw drove through a dim passage, Zhang Yuan suddenly saw another small square on the roadside, where many people gathered. A faint voice came: "God said that all beings are born equal, and those who violate this rule are demons. The Landley family is a demon, and Han Sande is even a great demon..."
