Chapter 412: Natural City 2
Chapter 412: Natural City 2
Lin Zhi stood on the platform of Nature City South Station, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. This city in the Zerg world had a completely different landscape from Earth. The massive metal buildings gleamed coldly under the lights, and Zerg creatures of all shapes and sizes darted around. Their humming and flickering lights intertwined, creating a strange and vibrant scene.
Yan Jun stood beside Lin Zhi, a hint of caution in his eyes. As humans who had traveled to this world, they were well aware of its dangers. Although they had lived in this world for some time, they still dared not take it lightly when entering a strange place.
"Linzhi, we have to be careful later. I heard that there are often Zerg bandits near the South Station." Yan Jun said in a low voice.
Lin Zhi nodded slightly and responded softly: "Yes, I heard that too. But as long as we act carefully, there shouldn't be any big problems."
At this time, Zhang Ying came over. She was a cheerful girl and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? If the three of us work together, can we not handle a few petty thieves?"
As the three of them were talking, they suddenly heard a loud noise. Not far away, they saw a group of Zerg creatures, surrounded by two figures. These two were tall and emanated a fierce aura. They were the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai.
Wang Jun laughed and said, "Haha, I gained a lot at South Station today!"
Wang Kai also laughed and said, "Yes, those timid Zerg merchants handed over their goods obediently as soon as they saw us."
Their laughter echoed around them, sounding particularly arrogant. Lin Zhi frowned, Yan Jun clenched his fists, and Zhang Ying also looked at them with dissatisfaction.
Wang Jun spotted the three people from Linzhi at a glance and said jokingly, "Hey, aren't these some foreigners? What, you want to get a piece of the South Station pie too?"
Lin Zhi responded coldly: "We are just passing by and don't want to cause trouble."
Wang Kai, however, persisted. He took a few steps forward and said, "Just passing by? How could it be such a coincidence? Maybe you're here to get information about us."
Yan Jun couldn't help but say, "Don't go too far. We are not afraid of you."
Wang Jun and Wang Kai exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. Wang Jun said, "Just the three of you? Humans, you're still a little naive in this Zerg world."
Just as the atmosphere was tense, another group of people approached. They were the four Zerg siblings: Li Li, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li. Li Li saw what was happening and frowned, "What's going on? Are they going to cause trouble again?"
Wang Jun quickly put away his arrogant expression and said, "Brother Li, it's a misunderstanding. It's just a minor friction with these humans."
Li looked at Lin Zhi and the others and said, "Everyone, when you're out and about, be patient if you can. Don't be impulsive."
Li Ming also advised: "Yes, harmony brings wealth."
Lin Zhi looked at Li Yu gratefully and said, "Thank you, brother. We will pay attention to it."
Li Yu nodded and left with his siblings. Wang Jun and Wang Kai also snorted coldly and turned to leave.
But at this moment, a group of Zerg bandits suddenly rushed over, holding weapons and shouting, "Hand over all your stuff!"
The scene instantly became chaotic. Wang Jun and Wang Kai immediately turned around and confronted the robbers. Although they were fierce, they were also a little overwhelmed by so many robbers.
Lin Zhi said to Yan Jun and Zhang Ying, "We can't just stand by and watch, let's help together!"
The three of them joined the fray. Lin Zhi, with his agility, deftly dodged the bandits' attacks, occasionally striking back. Yan Jun, using the fighting techniques he'd learned on Earth, engaged the bandits in close combat. Though a girl, Zhang Ying showed no fear. She picked up a metal rod and wielded it against the enemy.
Seeing that things were not going well, the four Zerg siblings turned back to help. Li Yu shouted, "Everyone, work together and drive these bandits away!"
Under the combined attack of the crowd, the bandits gradually lost their resistance and began to retreat. Wang Jun and Wang Kai panted heavily, looking at Lin Zhi and the others with a complicated look in their eyes.
Wang Jun said, "Thank you very much for this time."
Wang Kai also said: "Humph, you guys are quite capable."
Lin Zhi smiled and said, "We all make a living in this world, so it's only natural for us to help each other."
After this battle, the relationship between them seemed to have become closer. They began to talk and share their experiences in this world.
Li Yu said, "My brothers and I have been running a small business near the South Station. Although it's hard work, it's relatively stable. How did you end up in this Zerg world?"
Lin Zhi sighed and said, "We traveled through time by accident. We didn't know anything at first and suffered a lot. But now we've gradually adapted."
Yan Jun continued, "Yes, this world is full of unknowns and dangers, but we are also trying to find a way to go back."
As everyone was talking, they suddenly heard the announcement: "Attention, passengers, the train to Huayuan and Zhangyuan is about to arrive at the station. Please be prepared."
After hearing this, Li said, "Looks like we have to go. We're going to Huayuan to deliver the goods. What about you guys?"
Lin Zhi looked at Yan Jun and Zhang Ying and said, "We are going to Zhang Garden too. Let's go together."
So, everyone boarded the train. As the train slowly began to move, the scenery outside the window shifted constantly. Linzhi gazed out the window, a flood of emotion filling his heart. This fantastical Zerg world, while fraught with danger, also brought him a special warmth thanks to the people he met.
On the train, they continued their conversation. Wang Jun and Wang Kai recounted interesting stories from their time in the Zerg world, while the Li siblings shared stories of the people and events they encountered while doing business. Laughter and joy filled the air, as if the previous conflicts had never occurred.
Before they knew it, the train arrived at Huayuan Station. The Li brothers and sisters said goodbye to everyone: "Thank you for your care along the way. See you later!"
Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, see you later!"
Afterwards, Linzhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying took a train to Zhangyuan. Arriving in Zhangyuan, they found it a place brimming with artistic flair. The buildings lining the streets were covered in a variety of unique paintings and sculptures, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
Zhang Ying said excitedly: "Wow, this place is so beautiful!"
Yan Jun also nodded in praise: "Yes, it feels completely different from South Station."
Lin Zhi smiled and said, "It seems that this Zerg world is really rich and colorful."
They wandered around Zhangyuan, admiring the beautiful scenery and feeling the unique charm of this world. In this strange and wonderful place, they didn't know what they would encounter, but they knew that as long as they stayed together, they would definitely find their own place in this challenging world.
As the sun gradually set, its afterglow shone upon every corner of Zhangyuan, adding a unique touch of color to the city. Linzhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying stood on the street, gazing at the beautiful scenery before them, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future. They knew this was just the beginning of their adventure in the Zerg world, and more stories awaited them...
"Where is this? How did I get here?" Linzhi shouted in horror.
At this time, Yan Jun walked over, with a hint of fatigue on his face, but determination in his eyes.
"Linzhi, don't be afraid. We seem to have traveled to a Zerg world." Yan Jun said.
Lin Zhi widened her eyes, unable to believe what she heard.
"Zerg world? How is that possible?" Lin Zhi said.
Just when they were puzzled, Zhang Ying also woke up.
"Look, there seems to be a store over there." Zhang Ying said, pointing to a building not far away.
The three of them walked towards the store and found that the sign on the store read "Natural City Fortress Store".
"What a strange name," Lin Zhi said.
They walked into the store, which was filled with all sorts of strange items.
"Welcome to the Natural City Fortress Store. What can you do for me?" A voice came from the corner.
Linzhi and the other two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a short Zerg walking out from the corner.
"Who are you? Where is this place?" Yan Jun asked.
"My name is Wang Jun. This is the Natural City Fortress Store, a trading place in the Zerg world." Wang Jun said.
"Trading place? Then what can we use to trade?" Zhang Ying asked.
"You can trade with the items or skills you have." Wang Jun said.
Linzhi and the other two looked at each other and found that they didn't have anything valuable on them.
"It seems we have nothing to trade." Lin Zhi said.
Wang Jun smiled and said, "It's okay. You can work here first and earn some bargaining chips."
"Work? What are we going to do?" Yan Jun asked.
"It's very simple. Just help me organize the goods and clean the store." Wang Jun said.
Lin Zhi and the other two had no choice but to agree to Wang Jun's request.
While working, Linzhi and the other two met two Zerg brothers named Wang Kai. Wang Kai was cheerful and often chatted with them, introducing them to the Zerg world.
"Do you know? There are many dangerous places in the Zerg world, so don't run around casually." Wang Kai said.
"Why? It looks quite peaceful here." Lin Zhi said.
"That's because this is near the Natural City Fortress store, so it's relatively safe. But if you go further out, you'll encounter all kinds of dangerous Zerg and traps," said Wang Kai.
After hearing this, Linzhi and the other two couldn't help but feel worried.
Just then, a group of Zerg customers came into the store. They looked ferocious and started shouting about buying various items as soon as they entered the store.
"Boss, give me ten bottles of energy potions!" shouted a Zerg customer.
"Okay, I'll get it for you right away." Wang Jun said.
Seeing Wang Jun busy at work, the three people from Linzhi hurried over to help.
"Hurry up, everyone! Don't dawdle!" a Zerg customer said impatiently.
Linzhi and the other two did not dare to delay and quickened their movements.
After a busy period, we finally prepared all the items the customers needed.
"Okay, everything is here." Wang Jun said.
The customer paid, took the items and left.
"Huh, I'm finally done." Lin Zhi said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Yeah, these Zerg customers are really hard to serve," said Zhang Ying.
Just when they were taking a break, another group of people came into the store.
"Hello, is there any medicine to treat wounds here?" a girl asked.
Lin Zhi and the other two looked up and saw that there were four girls in the group, namely Li Yang, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li, and two boys, Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan.
"Who are you? Are you injured?" Yan Jun asked.
"We came from somewhere else and were accidentally attacked by Zerg and got a little injured," said Li.
After hearing this, Wang Jun quickly took out some medicine for treating wounds from the store and handed it to them.
"These medicines should be able to cure your injuries." Wang Jun said.
Li Yu glanced at Wang Jun gratefully and said, "Thank you."
Linzhi and the other two looked at them, feeling a little curious.
"How did you get here?" Lin Zhi asked.
"We don't know what happened. We woke up and found ourselves in this Zerg world," said Li Hua.
Everyone started chatting and found that they had all traveled to this Zerg world and were full of curiosity and fear about this world.
"What should we do in the future? We can't keep working here." Hua Yuan said.
"Yes, we have to find a way to leave this world." Zhang Yuan said.
Just as everyone was discussing, they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
"Oh no, it seems like danger is coming!" said Wang Kai.
Everyone quickly ran to the store entrance, only to see a group of ferocious Zerg rushing towards the Nature City Fortress store.
"What should we do? How do we deal with these Zerg?" Lin Zhi asked in horror.
"Don't panic, let's resist together!" Yan Jun said.
Yan Jun picked up a weapon from the store and rushed towards the Zerg. Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying, Wang Jun, Wang Kai, Li Yu, Li Ming, Li Hua, Li Li, Hua Yuan, and Zhang Yuan also picked up weapons and joined the battle.
The Zerg were more numerous and their attacks were getting more and more fierce. Although Lin Zhi and his men fought hard, they gradually became powerless.
"No, we can't hold on any longer!" Zhang Ying shouted.
At this moment, Li suddenly thought of a solution.
"We can use these items in the store to set some traps to deal with the Zerg!" said Li.
Everyone thought this method was feasible, so they started setting traps using items in the store.
After some effort, the trap was finally set. When the Zerg rushed over again, the trap was triggered and they were blown away and fled in all directions.
"Great, it's a success!" Linzhi shouted excitedly.
After this battle, the relationship between them became closer, and they decided to work together to find a way to leave this Zerg world.
In the following days, they worked at the Natural City Fortress Store to earn trading chips while looking for clues to leave.
One day, when Wang Jun was sorting goods, he found an ancient book.
"This book looks very old. Maybe it contains clues about leaving this world." Wang Jun said.
Everyone gathered around after hearing this. Yan Jun carefully opened the book, only to find it covered with strange symbols and words.
"What kind of text is this? We can't understand it." Lin Zhi said.
Just when everyone was worried, Li Hua suddenly said, "I think I've seen this kind of writing somewhere before. Let me think about it carefully."
Li Hua frowned, trying to recall the past. After a while, her eyes lit up.
"I remember now! This is an ancient Zerg language that I once saw in a history book. It records that in the center of the Zerg world, there is a mysterious castle, and the key to leaving this world is hidden in the castle." Li Hua said.
"Great! Then let's go find that castle!" Yan Jun said.
So, Linzhi and his friends said goodbye to Wang Jun and embarked on a journey to find the mysterious castle.
Along the way, they encountered various difficulties and dangers, but they overcame them one by one with each other's wisdom and courage.
Finally, they arrived at the center of the Zerg world, and a magnificent castle appeared before them.
The castle exudes a mysterious atmosphere, as if hiding endless secrets.
"This is it. Let's go in and look for the key." Yan Jun said.
Everyone walked into the castle cautiously, and there was a gloomy atmosphere inside.
They searched everywhere in the castle and finally found the key to leave this world in a secret room.
"Great, we finally found it!" Linzhi shouted excitedly.
They took the key and came to the exit of the castle. With a flash of light, Linzhi and his companions successfully left the Zerg world.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in their original world.
"We are finally back!" Yan Jun said.
Everyone hugged each other excitedly. This adventure across the Zerg world will be forever engraved in their hearts.
