Chapter 373 Huaicheng

These days when he is on his way, Ba Li is as obedient as a girl. Gu Lie says whatever he says. It seems that if he sacrifices his life to do something, I'm afraid he won't refuse.

Of course, Gu Lie won't really do anything. He just laughed at his evil thoughts.

After more than ten days of driving, a vast wall finally appeared in front of us. The pure black wall was like one, giving people the feeling of hollowing out a boulder.

"Your Excellency, there is Huaicheng in front of you!"

Gu Lie gradually slowed down, and he finally knew what a big city was. Just looking at the extended wall, he knew that the area of Huaicheng was at least several times that of Shuixiu City. Let's look at the black rock wall with a height of four or five meters. This is a big project that will take many years to complete.

Close to Huaicheng, the nearby ground looks greener and greener. There is an unknown kind of green grass growing on the sandy land. The rhizome is as thick as a little finger, and it can't be pulled by hand. Only in this way can you survive and grow in the dry desert.

The environment near Huaicheng is quite good. Although there are no large trees, only some low shrubs, with some unknown green grass, covering nearly four or five hundred meters outside the city to prevent the invasion of sand.

"The greening is quite good!" Gu Lie smiled and said, "The city owner is quite environmentally conscious."

"Your Excellency, what did you say?" Bali is very unfamiliar with the words "greening" and "environmental protection", and it is normal not to understand.

"Nothing, just talking to yourself."

Moving forward, a spacious slate road appeared in the bushes, leading directly to the city gate.

Gu Lie parked his car by the roadside and asked, "You should be familiar with Huaicheng, right?"

Ba Li said, "It's okay."

"That's it. Get off the bus now." Gu Lie pressed the button, and the door opened automatically. "Find a place to live first, settle down and then contact me!" Tell me a more famous hotel in the city.

"Huaicheng Hotel is a long time old, but it is very famous. It is said that it was opened by the city owner himself. No one dares to make trouble in it, but the price is relatively high."

Gu Lie said, "That doesn't matter. As long as it's convenient for you to find me. Remember, I only need you to serve me for half a year to be free. I don't think this transaction is too much, is it?

Ba Li shook his head repeatedly: "It's not too much, not too much at all!"

Gu Lie suddenly had a straight face and said, "This half a year is also a test for you. If you want to escape or betray me, you'd better kill it directly in the bud. As long as I find it, you know what I will do!"

Baili nodded quickly and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, it's only half a year. I won't do anything."

"The money is enough for you to use. You can do some odd jobs or something if you have nothing to do. By the way, help me find out the news."

Bale said, "I will definitely do it." He beat his chest as promised.

Close the door, Gu Lie looked at him through the window, and then started the armored car to drive towards the gate.

Ba Li stood still and settled down. In fact, he was also very anxious and had a chance to escape, but he didn't dare. It's okay not to be caught in the future. If he is caught, he will definitely die miserably. Or you can't mix in this area at all, otherwise it will be very easy to be recognized by wild boars or camels.

After a good ideological struggle, Ba Li decided not to take risks. Anyway, only half a year, and forbearance will pass. He believes that a strong man with Gu Lie's strength will not go of his promise since he said that he would be free.

Taking a deep breath, Ba Li raised his foot and walked towards Huaicheng.

When approaching the city wall, Gu Lie found that there was a " moat" outside the city wall. Now it can only play the role of a moat. There is no water in it at all, about seven or eight meters high.

A tall and strong steel suspension bridge is built to the opposite side, which is ten meters long. Facing this moat, which is ten meters wide and seven or eight meters deep, as long as the suspension bridge is raised, there is really no way to get there.

Maybe it is in a time of peace, or there are not so many people entering Huaicheng. The suspension bridge is not hung up, but put down to connect the other side. Gu Lie can drive directly into Huaicheng.

The gate of Huaicheng is made of ferrous metal. If you don't look carefully, it is almost integrated with the city wall. It is three meters high and seven or eight meters wide, and there is no one guard on both sides. Gu Lie looked up curiously and saw a faintly visible window above the wall, in which two eyes were carefully observing himself. He smiled. It was not surprising that the gate of a city always had guards, but the guards of Huaicheng were relatively hidden.

Entering the city, a straight street leads directly to the city center, and a tower-shaped building is faintly visible at the end. On both sides of the street are two or three-story small buildings, and the walls are covered with all kinds of plaques, all of which are for business.

There are not many people near the gate, which looks quiet. Some residents stare curiously when they see Gu Lie's car. It's not that they haven't seen a car, but it's all trucks.

Gu Lie walked slowly in their curious eyes and observed the layout of the city. The streets in Huaicheng are connected in all directions. In addition to the main road leading to the city center, there is also an intersection between the small building and the small building at a distance. The intersection is lined with metal signs pointing in the clear direction, and the urban layout planning is very reasonable.

Gu Lie opened along the street, looking for the place called "Huicheng Hotel". Huaicheng is really big enough. After driving for more than half an hour, I didn't go far, let alone go to the city center.

As he walked, the scene on both sides changed. It was no longer a small building with two or three floors, but a tattered flat. Gu Lie had a feeling that he seemed to have come to the slum.

There are many people sitting at their door. When they hear the roar of the engine, they involuntarily drop their eyes on the car, with envy, jealousy, excitement, and of course hatred.

Anyone who can own a private car in Huaicheng is very rich. It is a normal mentality for people living in slums to hate wealth. Gu Lie doesn't care at all. He just wants to find a seemingly talkative person and ask the way.

While looking around, suddenly a figure popped out of the alley beside him and rushed towards the car without any speed. Gu Lie quickly stepped on the brake, bringing a squeaky and harsh friction sound, leaving two black tire marks more than one meter long on the slate road.

After a scream, the figure lay motionless in front of the car. Gu Lie sat quietly in the car. He felt that he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh. Before the car touched anyone, the person fell to the ground by himself and made such a frightened cry. This scene is really familiar.

"Damn it, there is a matter of touching porcelain everywhere!"
