Chapter 929: Chapter 929: The Truth of the Story

"Such a long artificial river couldn’t possibly be entirely controlled by W37," Kuang Wenjun said. "Moreover, this river is some distance from Base City and doesn’t have a direct channel leading to the city. Other than increasing the difficulty of entry and exit, it seems to serve no other purpose."

"It seems like W37 is deliberately isolating itself," Zhu Feiyun paused before continuing, "No wonder W37 has a bad reputation in other base cities."

"Reputation?" Shangguan Xi looked at him. "Did you come from a base city with people?"

Zhu Feiyun hesitated for a moment, "It’s somewhat populated, but it’s a deserted base city. Most of the people gathered there have either run away from other base cities or have been abandoned, with some unable to return to their own base cities where they lived."

"That doesn’t sound like a good place," Shangguan Xi said meaningfully. "Can the information be true?"

"True or false, let’s just hear it for now," Zhu Feiyun said, a hint of gossip on his youthful face. "I heard that the mayor of W37 was originally the wife of a mayor from another base city. It wasn’t an epidemic that broke out, but her husband fleeing with her to a nearby base city. That base city had an old feud with them. Although they were let in, the ruler of that base city wanted to humiliate their old enemy, publicly raping the mayor’s wife... It’s said that the spectators also participated, and the mayor of course had to accept the humiliation and even sent his wife out."

"It’s said that her family originally had some power. She couldn’t have been without insight herself. She maneuvered around the men who toyed with her with a few loyal subordinates, ran away, hoping to seek refuge in her family, but unexpectedly her family disdained her past, and even intended to use her to exchange for rights and resources."

"Later, the mayor’s wife then used her beauty to turn an important ruler of Base W37 City against each other, incited an internal strife, and fled with a large number of citizens. Then she went to W37, seduced the old mayor, used the people she had brought to seize power, and then successfully ascended."

"She is despised by other base cities, but at the same time, she is the object of desire for all the men here."

After hearing his words, Kuang Wenjun’s expression turned unpleasant. "As soon as a woman comes into power, men always speculate about how many people she has slept with."

But Zhu Feiyun shook his head. "I mean no disrespect to this female mayor, on the contrary, I admire her. Her counterattack from a desperate situation is not something ordinary people can achieve."

"That story sounds a bit fake," Shangguan Xi said. "If she were an ordinary person, would players follow her? Without players, what could she achieve? If she’s a player, the experiences you talked about are almost impossible. If something like that happened, better to just escape into the game."

"It might be that others threatened her with her husband’s and family’s lives," Zhu Feiyun said. "Who knows, maybe she had children."

"So, did she run later because her child died or because she had been abused enough to realize her husband wasn’t sincere?" Shangguan Xi raised an eyebrow. "Again, if she had the capability to run, she would have run from the start. From what you said about her family, they weren’t so good to her, they definitely wouldn’t secretly rescue her, the people who would help her would’ve done so from the start."

"No more than three people would help her out of sympathy."

The overall environment of W37 Base Station was abnormal, don’t expect too many normal people here, to put someone to death here would not even require much effort, just expelling them from Base City would suffice, after experiencing indescribable despair, anyone would give in.

"The details might be fabricated, but the general situation should be accurate," Zhu Feiyun said. "The information I bought did indeed mention that the authority in Base W37 City was abnormally transferred to the female mayor."

"Teacher Ai fled to W18 around the time of the epidemic outbreak; he already knew that the female mayor planned to construct an artificial river," Xu Huo interjected calmly.

"Your story isn’t reliable at all," Pan Qiao, who was previously listening intently, said.

"But not necessarily all fake," Xu Huo added. "If we split the story’s protagonist into two people, the initial experiences were those of W37’s former female mayor, and the one who took over power and completed the artificial river was the second female mayor."

"Changing the epidemic flight to a certain alien surge... sounds much more realistic."

"Indeed," Zhu Feiyun pondered for a moment. "With a longer timeline, it’s possible for the female mayor to transition from an ordinary person to a player."

"So that being said, anyone in power in Base W37 City must truly despise people from other base cities," Pan Qiao said. "Can a live specimen be transported there?"

"Our task is only to deliver the live specimen, how it’s handled afterwards is not our concern," Kuang Wenjun said. "At the very least, we need to deliver the specimen into the city."

"This river might not be crossable," Teacher Ai said. "There are definitely people guarding the bridge across the river. We could detour, but I worry we might run out of resources."

"I’ll see what I can find on the forum," Shangguan Xi said.

"No need to take a detour," Xu Huo said. "Let’s take the shortest route. If we can only cross the bridge, Base W37 City will naturally send someone to negotiate."

While they were chatting, the SUV was ready to be used, but the last section of the vehicle was missing, leaving just the front and main section, squeezing six people and one cage became a bit cramped.

The group also distributed seats based on combat capability, with Xu Huo and Kuang Wenjun sitting in the co-driver’s seat, and the other three in the back, with Shangguan Xi and Pan Qiao keeping an eye on the cage.

The party set off quickly, with a map and Teacher Ai as their guide, they avoided some dangerous areas on the road. Despite that, they still encountered quite a few troubles. First were the aliens, which seemed to be everywhere, whether in the woods or barren lands, there was no place they hadn’t nested. Some areas looked like good paths, but the ground underneath had been hollowed out. These creatures, whether considered evolved or devolved, knew to use the terrain’s undulations to hide their underground hollows.

They couldn’t completely avoid them. On the road, Xu Huo killed several nests of aliens, finding piles of human bones, both old and new, and even picked up a few props in their lairs.

"This is truly suffocating, not dying at human hands, but instead being trapped by a group of aliens," Shangguan Xi remarked.

However, they soon encountered similar trouble, a herd of white cows, not knowing whether they were migrating or had been spooked, charged directly towards the vehicle!

This was indeed the Raging Bull, and each of the evolved herd bore a pair of crystalline horns. The successive cries revealed their current mood wasn’t good...

"Run, run, run!" Shangguan Xi leaned forward, shouting at Teacher Ai, "Speed up!"
