Seeing that there were not many people fighting outside, Lu Jiu was alerted. Soon, the cannon barrel that had been motionless began to move. The cannon barrel aimed at the wild monsters under the city wall and fired directly.
The chariot crossbow was mainly used to deal with BOSS-level wild monsters.
They had already killed the dozen blue bull BOSSes, and then a dozen more squeezed in from the back, but only lasted a few more minutes than the last batch.
The professional players who were still fighting were frightened by the sound, and then they saw that they were aimed at the wild monsters on the ground.
Not long after, another deafening bombing sound: “Oh my! Why did the city lord suddenly fire the cannon? It would be good to give a reminder…”
Some people specialize in fighting wild monsters on the ground. Just now, a cannon fired directly next to his ear. Fortunately, he didn’t feel the splashing fragments when they hit him, and he didn’t lose blood.
Someone saw the shells bombing next to him and asked kindly: “Are you okay?”
The frightened professional player shook his head and said: “It’s okay. This city defense weapon can’t hurt us.”
Everyone felt relieved after hearing this. Some of them also deal with wild monsters again. Who wouldn’t? Cannons and crossbows were attacking. If they attacked again, they might get something.
Now everyone was killing wild monsters, and they didn’t have the mood to see what kind of rewards they got. They took this opportunity to kill more wild monsters. They wanted to take this opportunity to kill more wild monsters.
Seeing that everything was fine, Lu Jiu left the city wall with several teammates.
Even with a strengthed body, after killing for so long, her hands were shaking.
Lu Jiu said: “I’m exhausted. There are still so many wild monsters after killing for so long.”
Zhuang Yun was sweating all over: “I guess there is a fixed number of wild monsters to refresh, but we don’t know. Now we can only fight well.”
Several people were going to buy some food at the stall. They were not in the mood to go back and cook.
After they chose a stall and sat down, the boss enthusiastically served them several bowls of chicken leg noodles: “You’ve worked hard, you should eat more.”
The boss was a middle-aged woman. The noodles she sold were well-known in Xuantian City, and they often came to eat a bowl.
When Lu Jiu brought the noodles over, the bowl of noodles rippled because of her shaking hands: “Thank you, boss lady.”
Yong Lin also followed suit and thanked her.
The proprietress wiped her hands with a towel: “Eat more. During the beast tide, you professional residents can come to eat for free.”
Lu Jiu had just taken a sip of soup. Hearing this, she looked up and asked curiously: “Why don’t you charge? We all have to live.”
The proprietress replied: “Life is life. This matter is so dangerous. You, professional players, protect the city-state. We ordinary people can’t do anything else. We can only give a little insignificant help. Now the stalls on the street don’t charge professional residents. They are free to eat.”
Shen Jufeng also stopped eating. At this moment, the city-state was united. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.
Zhuang Yun hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth and thanked: “Thank you, Boss…”
He didn’t know what to say.
The proprietress didn’t stand by to disturb them eating: “This is nothing. You are the ones who are working hard. I’m going to be busy. You can put the bowls here after you finish eating. Take a bath and have a good sleep after returning.”
Another customer came, and the proprietress continued to work.
Lu Jiu ate noodles silently. She was the city lord. Even if everyone didn’t know, seeing how united they were, her eyes were a little hot.
After the four of them finished eating, they put down their bowls and said hello to the proprietress before leaving.
On the way back, Lu Jiu was thinking about things, and others didn’t disturb her.
Several people went back to their homes, took a shower and fell asleep. They slept soundly. The sound insulation of the residential area was very good. There were constant bombings outside, but they couldn’t hear them at all when they were asleep.
·
When she woke up again, it was dark outside. Lu Jiu rubbed her face to make herself more awake.
In the middle, she woke up a few times in a daze, all to replenish the number of times the protective shield could resist. One million coins were consumed very quickly.
After waking up, she washed and went out. At this time, she didn’t call her teammates but went outside to take a look.
When she arrived in the city wall, there were still many professional residents fighting outside, and many stalls were still open, so that there would be food for professional residents who had to go back to rest late at night.
Although she, as the city lord, hadn’t appeared for a day, there was no complaint against her in the city.
Lu Jiu took out her bow and arrow and was about to leave the protective shield when someone patted her shoulder: “Miss Lu, where are your teammates?”
Turning around, it was Lin Zuo and the others. It seemed that only one team was here, and the rest were standing behind Lin Zuo.
Lu Jiu said: “I’ll just deal with the beast tide, not go out to deal with wild monsters as usual. What’s the matter?”
Lin Zuo replied: “Nothing, I just saw you and wanted to say hello.”
Lu Jiu took a deep look at him. What was this guy doing? They were not familiar with each other.
“Well, then I’m going to get busy.”
After flying out of the protective shield, flying wild monsters immediately entangled her, but she dodged them all quickly. When she shot arrows with a cold face, she was like a goddess without sadness or joy.
Seeing this, Lin Zuo was still suspicious of Lu Jiu.
He had been paying attention to Lu Jiu’s movements. It might be his intuition. He always felt that Lu Jiu had something to do with the city lord.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around abruptly and saw a tall man staring at him with cold eyes. It was Shen Jufeng.
Lin Zuo forced a smile: “Mr. Shen.”
Shen Jufeng walked forward, his eyes never leaving him: “Mr. Lin, what do you want to talk to my teammates about?”
Lin Zuo was stunned. Shen Jufeng saw him saying hello to Lu Jiu!
“Nothing, I just see you often, and I wanted to say hello when I saw you.”
Shen Jufeng looked at him, then slowly moved his eyes away, began to search for Lu Jiu’s figure outside the city, and whispered: “Lin Zuo, I know what you used to do, but don’t set your sights on Lu Jiu.”
Lin Zuo loves to expose people’s identities and secrets. Even if he hadn’t talked to him before in Yanjing, they were in this circle, and some things would be passed on to him.
The other party has been paying attention to their movements all the time, and Shen Jufeng knows that he has doubted Lu Jiu’s identity.
Lin Zuo laughed dryly: “What do you mean? But will Mr. Shen return to Yanjing? Although the Shen Family claims to be mainly engaged in business, you…”
The Shen family’s business also includes military research and medical research. His uncle was in the army, which makes them somewhat involved in the military and political circles.
So even if the world has changed, it does not mean that the Shen Family will decline.
Shen Jufeng replied: “Xuantian City is great. If you want to go back to Yanjing, leave as soon as possible after the beast tide ends.”
Lin Zuo heard this and felt like he was trying to drive him away: “I will go to Yanjing, but I will come back after I know the general situation. What do you think, Mr. Shen, do you want to add me as a friend? I will tell you what it is like there then.”
Shen Jufeng replied: “No need. I don’t want to go back to that place for the time being. Even if I want to know, I will go there in person.”
He still has to go back and see the situation there with his own eyes. Even if Lin Zuo tells him, he won’t believe it completely.
