236 Clearing Black Rock City

When the fire in Black Rock City finally stopped, Tang Zhen brought Xiao Rui and the others into the city.

After the raging fire, the originally majestic and tall Black Rock City had been completely reduced to ruins!

The pungent smell of smoke made it difficult for people to breathe. Wherever they walked, they would stir up a cloud of dust.

The interior of the building was full of burn marks, and it was charred black. One could no longer see its former glory.

After seeing this scene, Xiao Rui couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Personal grudges aside, he had lived in Black Rock City for many years. It would be a lie to say that he did not have any feelings for it.

Tang Zhen patted little Rui's shoulder as a form of comfort. However, he didn't say anything and just walked in the direction of the basement.

In the underground space of Black Rock City, there were flesh worms and mushrooms that he urgently needed. They would be of great help in alleviating the food supply.

Following the familiar path, Tang Zhen soon saw the huge 'potatoes' growing in the mud pool!

The flesh worm and the mushroom were also safe and sound.

Although the underground space was filled with a faint smoke, the flames did not spread to this place. This caused Tang Zhen to let out a long sigh of relief.

Since the food source in the underground space had not been damaged, the next thing to do was to transport all these things back to Holy Dragon City.

After thinking of this, Tang Zhen immediately arranged for people to move all the substitute food out of the basement and immediately send them to the Holy Dragon City for settlement.

However, the means of transportation had become a big problem.

The Holy Dragon city's chariots were mainly used for combat and could only transport a very small number of resources. Moreover, they were used to guard prisoners of war, so they could not be used easily.

Although the other four turrets had some livestock to transport supplies, they could not guarantee that they had enough capacity.

Fortunately, there were still a large number of residents of Black Rock City. With their help, he believed that they should be able to transport all the substitute food in the entire underground space.

After arranging the food transportation problem in the underground space, Tang Zhen and the others began to search the entire loucheng under Xiao Rui's lead.

The brain Pearl was unafraid of the burning of fire, so it should be able to be preserved. This was also the main search target.

The search began from the bottom and gradually went up. From time to time, they would see the dead bodies of Black Rock City residents in the corridors and rooms. Whenever this happened, a temporary group of Black Rock City residents would carry them away and send them to the large pits dug outside the city.

The citizens of Black Rock City who were in charge of transporting the goods were all mournful. Many of the citizens who had met with misfortune were familiar faces, and some of them were even family and friends.

The sudden change and the destruction of their homes made every citizen of Black Rock City feel terrible.

After seeing this, Tang Zhen suddenly felt grateful to the city Lord. The fire he had lit had helped Tang Zhen avoid a lot of trouble.

In this way, not only could Tang Zhen achieve his goal, he could also eliminate the hatred of the citizens of Black Rock City towards him. All he needed to do was to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others 'labor!

As they searched higher and higher, more and more wreckage was discovered. They were all residents of Black Rock City who did not manage to escape in time.

A large metal door blocked their way, and the Holy Dragon City cultivators used tools to pry it open.

After passing through the iron gate that separated the ordinary citizens from the aristocrats of Black Rock City, Tang Zhen entered the 'high-class residential area' that the citizens of Black Rock City had mentioned!

The residents of the tower were all from influential families in Black Rock City.

One iron door, two worlds, showing the superiority of the rich and powerful.

However, after the fire started, the iron gate became the biggest obstacle to the nobles 'escape!

Countless wreckages were piled up in the passage in front of the iron gate. One could imagine how many people had wanted to escape from this place, but the panic and the thick smoke had become a curse, preventing them from crossing the threshold.

In fact, even if they managed to escape through the metal door, the sea of fire was still waiting for them outside.

Tang Zhen saw the city Lord of Black Rock City in the city Lord's Hall that had been turned into ashes. However, his limbs were twisted as he fell to the ground. He had died a long time ago.

The Supreme ruler of Black Rock City had used this method to walk down the path of destruction with his own city.

Tang Zhen carefully sized up this enemy that he had never met before. In fact, he looked down on the actions of the Black Rock City Lord.

It was said that the governor of Black Rock City was also a rank 5 expert. However, he did not have the courage to fight his enemy. Instead, he chose to end his life in such a cowardly manner.

Perhaps to the governor of Black Rock City, who had been pampered since he was young, the so-called cultivation level was just a way to show off his status.

For a city Lord who did not lack resources, it was not difficult for him to accumulate his cultivation to rank 5.

However, what made Tang Zhen feel rather strange was that it was said that the governor of Black Rock City had never stepped into an area where ordinary citizens lived in his entire life. The number of Black Rock City's residents who had seen his appearance could be counted on one hand.

Compared to Tang Zhen, who was always on good terms with the residents of Lou city, Black Rock City's actions were the style of an old-school City Lord.

Compared to the ordinary residential areas, the number of brains remaining in this high-class residential area was shocking. The Holy Dragon City cultivators in charge of the search would have new gains from time to time.

These brains should be the private property of the influential people. Even when Black Rock City was facing difficulties, these influential people still had no intention of contributing these brains. Instead, they hid them in what they thought was a secret place.

Now that the fire had died down, these brains had all gone to Tang Zhen.

After leaving the city Lord's Hall, Tang Zhen came to the room where the foundation stones were stored in Black Rock City.

Unlike Holy Dragon City, the room used to store the foundation stones in Black Rock City was much larger, and the trading platform even took up an entire wall.

However, after the fire, this place was beyond recognition.

Tang Zhen slowly took down the foundation stone that was suspended in mid-air, announcing the end of Black Rock City's inheritance.

It would not be long before this place was reduced to ruins. Black Rock City, which had experienced countless years of wind and rain, would completely disappear into the endless wilderness.

Walking through the busy crowd, Tang Zhen slowly walked to the huge stone statue in the middle of the Black Rock City square.

This was the statue of the founder of Black Rock City. Tang Zhen had obtained his first huge fortune by cutting a piece of Jade from this statue.

Currently, this top-grade Jade that represented a huge amount of wealth already completely belonged to Tang Zhen.

However, the current Tang Zhen was no longer the weak and poor kid from back then who could only carefully sneak into Black Rock City!

Tang Zhen kicked the giant statue to the ground and ordered his men to load it into a car and take it away.

This thing would be reprocessed and become a part of the Holy Dragon City.

At this moment, both the inside and outside of Black Rock City were busy. Under the supervision of the Holy Dragon City Warriors, all the residents of Black Rock City were involved in the transportation work. It would not take long for this place to be empty.

A few hours later, night slowly fell.

All of the transportation vehicles were stuffed with items. The citizens of Black Rock City were carrying all sorts of supplies on their hands and shoulders as they lined up in a long queue.

The captives 'hands were still tied, and they did not dare to move rashly under the watch of the Holy Dragon city's soldiers.

Tang Zhen raised his head and looked at the bright moon above his head before gently waving his hand.

"Let's go back to Holy Dragon City!"
