Chapter 1118： Preliminary Exploration of Ancient City

Tu Hong was cautiously approaching the city wall, and then he noticed that there were countless huge scratches on this mottled wall.

The short one is at least ten centimeters, and the long one is even a few meters.

The shallow ones are several centimeters, and the deep ones are even ten or twenty centimeters.

A series of scratches gave the wall a ghastly feeling.

As Tu Hong continued to observe, he discovered that there were still some blood stains on the wall that had not been wiped clean, and there were some unknown bones in the corner of the wall.

There is no doubt that there have been fierce siege wars here.

Tu Hong was walking along the corner of the wall, and he had not seen the city gate for a long time, which made him quite surprised.

A city of this size generally has many gates.

Like the old city of Nanjing, there were more than a dozen gates.

But the city in front of him has few pitiful gates.

This shows that the number of people in the city is not particularly large, and activities are not frequent.

After walking for a kilometer or two, Tu Hongzheng finally saw a city gate, but it was tightly closed.

In broad daylight, the city gates were closed tightly, which was very strange.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems normal. After all, the number of cities in this alien world is scarce, and it is estimated that there are not many commercial contacts between the cities.

Even if there is, those people can fly away.

The city gate did not open, and Tu Hongzheng suddenly disappeared.

It is impossible to climb up, even if he has trained various climbing skills in the barracks, but facing the height of thirty or forty meters, it is beyond the reach.

Tu Hongzheng can only choose to wait patiently. After all, if there is food outside the city, someone will definitely go out of the city to manage or harvest.

When the time comes, just think of a way to get in.

The effort paid off. After more than twenty hours, Tu Hongzheng finally waited until the city gate opened.

Then he saw a group of people in rags come out, followed by a few soldiers who looked like soldiers.

A picture like this immediately made Tu Hongzheng judge a lot of information.

Obviously, not everyone in the city can fly.

Moreover, there is a high probability that most people will not be able to fly.

Another point is that the social structure of the city is very similar to that of the earth. There are people, soldiers, and classes.

These people like people seem to be in a state of being exploited and need to be taken to work.

Moreover, judging from the other party's clothing, it seems that the materials in the alien world are not very abundant.

At least, the people in the Central Plains area of ​​Dahua now have no shortage of clothes.

Dahua has achieved the small goal of getting enough food and clothing a long time ago.

Seeing the living conditions of aliens, Tu Hongzheng was a little relieved.

It seems that the productivity of human beings in other worlds is not as good as Dahua, and the threat is greatly reduced.

Tu Hongzheng took off his military uniform and rolled mud on the ground again.

Then, when the team returned, they pretended to be found inadvertently.

There is no way, he can only enter the city in this way, go alone, the city gate will not open.

Being discovered by those people deliberately is actually a great risk, but Tu Hongzheng can no longer take care of that much.

It is impossible not to take risks in the work of reconnaissance.

As long as it succeeds and detects valuable information, the rewards for military service are also extremely rich.

In the army, the rate of promotion of scouts is second only to that of officers who graduated from school.

A few years ago, Tu Hongzheng was just a small soldier, and now he has become a company commander of a reconnaissance company, enjoying the treatment of a battalion class.

The Zhengying class is already the upper middle class in Dahua.

If it was thrown into a small county in a remote area, it would be a proper big man.

"Who came from?"

The soldier in the ancient city pointed the spear in his hand at Tu Hongzheng, and said a lot of things he didn't understand.

Tu Hongzheng immediately understood that they had a language barrier with Dahua.

This is not very good news, which will bring him great difficulty in gathering intelligence.

However, that's all for the future. He needs to deal with the current difficulties.

Tu Hongzheng opened his mouth and made a screaming sound, and then pointed to his throat and ears again.

"I am deaf and mute."

Said the soldier.

"That's not the point, right? This guy doesn't look like a person from Yecheng. Isn't he a refugee from Hucheng in the north?"

Said another tall soldier.

"No matter where he is, he is deaf and dumb, and keeping it is a burden. It is better to just kill him."

Tu Hongzheng couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he knew what they were saying.

He saw one of the soldiers showing a fierce face, and he probably guessed that the situation was not good, so he knelt down and made a whining sound.

Upon seeing this, the tall soldier said, "Forget it, it's all human beings, and every population is precious. Besides, I think he is a burly figure, he must have good strength and can be used as a coolie."

"I can't hear, I can't speak, it's troublesome to direct."

The short soldier disagreed, but he still didn't kill him after all, and acquiesced to the tall man's approach.

Afterwards, the tall soldier made a gesture, asking Tu Hong to follow him into the city.

With them leading the way, the soldiers behind the city gate did not even interrogate them and let them into the city directly.

He finally got in, Tu Hongzheng was ecstatic.

However, he has not forgotten business affairs.

Since entering the city, his eyes have not stopped, and he hates to observe everything in the city and write it down.

In the city, on the street.

Tu Hongzheng saw some people walking around, but Tu Hongzheng didn't know what these people were going to do.

Because on the street, he didn't see small merchants or vendors.

On both sides of the street, he did not see the shops either.

Obviously, this is a place where business is extremely backward.

After walking for a while, he saw a blacksmith's shop with a large number of workers smelting.

The most primitive blower box is used.

And he was quickly arranged for a job.

The tall soldier gave him a hammer and told him to smash a purple ore.

When Tu Hong was trying to raise this humble hammer, a rather embarrassing scene happened. He blushed and couldn't raise it.

On the other hand, a skinny and skinny person next to him easily raised the hammer and smashed it down.

Now Tu Hongzheng understood that the thing that looked like a hammer in his hand was actually not made of iron.

Moreover, the humans here are generally much stronger.

"It's a **** trash, Bai Chang has this head, is it trash who has never practiced before, rich boy?"

The tall soldier cursed.

After testing again, he found that Tu Hongzheng was not pretending, so he could only change to a slightly relaxed job.

It's just that he is still swearing, obviously extremely dissatisfied.

In this way, Tu Hong is beginning to live in the ancient city.

At the same time, on the other side, after Cui Hu reported to the deputy company commander, the reconnaissance company was divided into two teams.

One team returned to Pioneer City and reported the information collected along the way.

The other team stayed on standby or continued to collect other information.
