Chapter 341 - 341: Prepare to Attack the City!
“Everyone, hang in there. We’re about to reach Black Rock City. We should be able to get a good sleep tonight!”
Meng Xian and everyone’s face was covered in dust and exhaustion.
The group has travelled over a hundred kilometers, endured the hardship of living in the wilderness for weeks and finally arrived near Black Rock City.
“Sister Meng, I have something to tell you…”
Xiao Liu wanted to speak with Meng Xian in personal.
Meng Xian seemed to sense something and signaled for the others to go ahead.
With everyone else left, Xiao Liu started to express his true feeling towards Meng Xian.
“Sister Meng, I like you…”
“I know!”
“You know you have asked me before…”
“Yes. 1 still remembered it, Sister Meng. To be your partner, 1 must be stronger than you…”
“At that time, 1 resolutely decided to become an enhancer like you. 1 decided not only become a dual-attribute enhancer like you, but a tri-attribute enhancer…”
“When I actually used the Agility Genetic Elixir myself, I realized how amazing it is that you could endure the pain that comes with dual-attribute enhancement…”
“I thought I am done. Fortunately, 1 survived it. It was a nightmare, a dream that I dare not try lightly again…”
“Since then, 1 have not dared to express my love for you. 1 know I’m not worthy. 1 don’t even dare to try strength enhancement…” Xiao Liu kept his head down as he really felt embarrassed about it.
Meng Xian listened to Xiao Liu patiently. She had seen too many companions die of the genetic elixir.
Everyone though they could see each other very soon but she was the only one alive in the end.
“After such a long period of recuperation, 1 have finally gathered my courage again…”
“Second-tier enhancement has a high mortality rate. I’m worried if 1 don’t say these words now, I might…”
“Sister Meng, thank you. If it hadn’t been for you, I might have died long ago…” A smile appeared on Xiao Liu’s face.
He never thought that the light of hope in this post-apocalyptic world was his love for a woman.
“Sister Meng, if I succeed this time, could you give me a chance?!”
“I’ve said it before, to be my man, at the very least, you have to be stronger than me. Do you think you can be stronger than me with your second-tier?!” Meng Xian laughed.
From the beginning, Xiao Liu knew he would get rejected.
At this moment, Meng Xian asked another question, “Are you only satisfied with being second-tier enhancer?”
“Do you mean…” Xiao Liu raised his head and looked at her with hope in his eyes.
“Throughout my journey, I’ve met many people. There were those who stirred my heart, and those with ability far superior…”
“I once had someone whom I mutually liked. We agreed to live together…”
“Sadly, when I believed that we would be together forever, he did not made it!”
“If you can become a third-tier enhancer, and 1 have not yet become a fourth-tier enhancer…Maybe we could try it out.”
“Really?!”
“Sister Meng, if I reach third-tier, would you really be with me?!”
“Don’t be too happy yet. The last thing 1 am going to mention to you is… If I fall in love with someone else before you reach third-tier. Too bad for you.”
She knew that she didn’t like Xiao Liu, but she wanted him to stay alive.
Xiao Liu didn’t think too much about it. His mind was filled with the thought of becoming third-tier and be together with her. “Sister Meng, I will definitely survive!”
“Let’s go!”
Meng Xian patted his shoulder and started walking forward.
The reason for her not to accept Xiao Liu easily was because she also wanted to find a man she could rely on as a woman not someone who rely on her.
But unfortunately, it seemed impossible to meet such a person now.
The two of them didn’t walk for long before they caught up with the group.
The team stopped at the edge of a field. In the distance, the dense tents and the crowd moving back and forth brought tears to everyone’s eyes.
“We’re finally here!”
Meng Xian recalled the first time she came to Black Rock City and she felt that it was a event long time ago.
Among the group, most of them were visiting Black Rock City for their first time. Excitement could be seen from their expression.
“What you see ahead is not the real Black Rock City. The real City is the one behind that, protected by city walls…” Meng Xian smiled and introduced to the group members.
“These tents are built for those who can’t afford the city entry fee or buying any property in the city…”
“So many?!” someone exclaimed. Just in their field of view, there were at least eight to ten thousand people.
“This is just the east region of Black Rock City. There are four gates and regions in total, and each one has a large number of tents outside…”
“All of you could see it by yourself. Let’s go!”
Meng Xian led the way, guiding the crowd towards it.
As they approached the tents, they realized that despite the apparent chaos outside the city, there was an orderly system in place.
Moreover, all the tents were neatly arranged, obviously deliberately planned.
Especially in the center, there was a main road with thirty meters wide..
