Chapter 2: A false alarm

"Report the other party's situation."

"The team of more than 700 people is full of cavalry and does not carry any material. The direction of travel is facing our team, and it will be in contact with the current speed twenty minutes later. The other party has not discovered us yet."

"I understand." I turned around and said to everyone, "You all heard that there are a lot of enemies. Before the city was established, we could not fight with others rashly. Now we die one by one. Now everyone pays attention, and the mountains and forests on the right side of the road move, so we hide."

We had more than 7,000 people and a hundred carriages. This team is not small, and it is really troublesome to hide them all. But we can't fight now. No matter how powerful the guild is, there will be no loss or death! Fortunately, everyone is a master, and Emmenis helped a lot. We left the road and lined up by the forest. The carriages were blocking outside and people were behind the carriages. Emmenis' super illusion completely obscured our images, and as long as we didn't speak, we wouldn't be discovered.

The scouts in the air were always following the team. They were responsible for confirming that the other party had left us before they could get back on the road. Everyone tried not to make a sound and stood quietly behind the carriage and looked at the other end of the road. Only five minutes after we were hidden, the sound of horse hooves appeared on the other end of the road. A large group of cavalry suddenly appeared at the corner in front, leading the team was a cow with a spear in his hand. This was not our knight spear, but a gunpowder gun.

The cattle followed by a large group of cavalry, all dressed up like him, and almost one-third of them were holding gunpowder guns, but most of them still used cold weapons. Terry once said that although the United States has a lot of gunpowder guns, there are still a few people using guns. It seems that he is telling the truth.

"It seems they didn't come for us?" Rose whispered in my ear.

"No matter what they do, just don't interfere with us."

The team ran past the road in front of us, bringing a burst of smoke and dust. The Americans seemed not as cautious as Asians. Such a large group of people rushed over without scouts or observing the terrain. No matter what, the alarm was lifted, we could go back on the road. The most urgent task now is to find a place to stop and rest. Everyone has to go offline for so long, and we can't get separated. Always hanging like this is not a solution.

The team moved forward quickly, and the goal was to decide the city in advance. However, whether it was suitable for building a city was still a question, so we did not use a teleportation station but walked, so that if we found a suitable location, we could stop immediately.

After walking for more than an hour, we stopped. Now everyone has been online for a long time, and many people are almost at the time limit, so we have to find a place to hide first. Fortunately, this is a mountainous area. I found a clearing space hidden between the valleys, and a large group of people drove into the valley. Let ordinary members go offline, and made an appointment to go online again. I opened the space door and summoned the Ringyin Knights and the Dragon Cavalry, and brought the Ice and Snow Queens with them, who will be responsible for guarding these carriages when we are not around. And when everyone goes offline, they leave their guardian beasts (the player's magic pets and guardian beasts can continue to move when the player is not online. Don't you forget this setting?), so it's safer. Red Flame also fell from the sky, and we have nothing to worry about with this boss.

Despite so many guards, I still let Emmenis set up a large illusion in the valley. Is it safe first? After everything is ready, I said to Rose and others: "You guys go offline first? I'll go to the city to see the situation, maybe I can investigate some useful information."

"I'll go with you." Shura Ziyi said.

"No, you've been online for too long."

Rose said, "Then you bring Zhenhong and Ziyue. They didn't go online much before they got off the boat."

Zhenhong immediately said, "Yes. Take us with me? I have only been online for 3 hours, no problem."

"Okay, the three of us should be fine. But you two need to go offline and prepare now. I'll wait for you, it's about twenty minutes?"

"Okay." The two nodded in agreement.

Rose said: "You should be careful not to be discovered here."

Eagle said: "Don't worry, there are many ethnic groups in the United States. As long as there are not large groups of Asians appear at the same time, they will generally not be noticed."

Kris Dena said, "Then I'll go with you too."

"Why?"

"You three are all Chinese, and they are so conspicuous together. I am European, so it is easier for me to be regarded as American if I bring them. And I haven't been online for a long time."

“What you said makes sense.”

Finally, we decided to set off together. Anyway, this is not a lot. Under normal circumstances, the leveling teams are 3 to 7, and four of us will not attract any attention. In addition to personnel, the equipment needs to be slightly adjusted. Zhenhong and Kris Dena's equipment are exactly the same, and this must be replaced. Although Zhenhong has national weapons, she only has a sword, and she is full of golden order suits. Kris Dena is also wearing the order suits of the Guild. If only one person wears it, it would be fine. Two people wear the same ones easily attract attention. After all, there are very few identical equipment in this game, let alone such advanced equipment. Kris Dena has no other equipment to change, so she had to let her continue to go through the order suits of the Association. Zhenhong changed it to her original equipment, so that the four of us would be different.

After the preparation, all unrelated personnel were taken off the line. The three people who wanted to go with me also took off the line and moved first. They agreed to take action after twenty minutes. I took this time to explain the precautions to the left-behind summoning creatures.

"It will take about 24 hours to come back next time. Don't leave here during this period. If players outside break into this place, you should avoid it as their first choice. If you are discovered, try not to do anything. Let Sgoths pretend to be players and say they are waiting for someone. It's best to be able to get over it. If you can't get over it, drive them away. Anyway, your combat power is not weak. With Hongyan, no one can do anything to you."

Hongyan said: "Don't worry, there will be no accident if I have anything to do."

Sgoth also said: "We are not vegetarians, and we will not suffer any loss even if we fight."

"I just hope you try to avoid fighting. The best way to avoid being discovered."

"With Emmenis here, he should not be discovered." Sgoth said with certainty.

It is true that the same is true. The illusion of Emmenis is indeed very powerful. All the carriages here are disguised as rocks, and the combat troops are directly transparent. In this way, even if others enter here, they can only see a rock hill.

After we finished explaining, Zhenhong and Kris Dena were both online, and Ziyue also came up after waiting for another minute.

"Can you set out?"

"certainly."

The four of them left the valley together and moved towards the nearby city. Because the distance was very close, we did not ride horses and walked directly over. This time we were going to enter a very large city. Unlike the dilapidated harbor city, the city here not only had city walls but also was very tall. In theory, there was no such city in the United States history, but there was a great loss in the city war in the city. So the American cities in the game also installed city walls.

Before we entered the city, we could see a large number of players entering and leaving the city. It was very prosperous. We came outside the city gate and looked around for a long time before we found a possible city gate guard under the trunk of a big tree. These two NPC guards with police badges actually ran under the tree to rest and left the city gate without paying attention. This is really rare.

"That may not be a guard," said Krissidna.

Zi Yue looked at the people and said, "No matter whether they are guards or not, in short, their irresponsibility will not harm us."

“That’s right.”

My dad once said that American cities in Zero have a special architectural style. After entering the city, I immediately understood what my dad said before. It turned out that the so-called American style means no style. The streets of the city are full of strange buildings, with tall ancient Roman style stone buildings and Chinese style wooden structures crowded together, and there is also an island-style bamboo building next to it. It turns out that this is the so-called American style! Apart from the cow style and Indian style, it can be considered American style, the rest are all foreign styles. What's strange is that these messy buildings are crowded together and are very coordinated.

"Look." Zi Yue pointed to a shop on the roadside, and saw that the sign of the shop said "General firearms".

"This is not a weapon store, right?" Zhenhong asked in confusion.

Kris Dena shook her head: "I think it should be a shop like the Crossbowman's House."

I looked at her and said, "You mean a specialty store?"

The House of Bowman is a store system formed by companies outside the game investing in "Zero" to recruit a large number of non-combat players who practice manufacturing technology. They have a large number of branches and almost all of Europe. This store only sells equipment related to bows, arrows, crossbows and arrows and some auxiliary equipment, and nothing else is sold. All equipment from the House of Bowman is the favorite equipment of the archers. The advantage of selling is that the strength is concentrated and there is no need to share the experience for a large number of weapons, so you can concentrate your efforts to improve the quality of your products. The general firearm in front of you is probably a place that specializes in selling guns.
