Kunshan, Where Is That?

On the rooftop of the devastated Carrefour Supermarket, two figures stood: 'Shadow Blade' Wang Tong and 'Mighty Bear' Li Kan. "Brother Wang, I didn't expect us to take a hit this time," Li Kan's deep voice resonated. "That Armored Dragon just laid its eggs. Someone must have secretly made a move and stolen the Armored Dragon's eggs while you and I were battling it, which is why it went berserk, chasing after them!" "Indeed, the supermarket is empty, nothing left," Wang Tong nodded. They had already checked when they pursued. As for those Beast General-tier monster hordes, they could kill Beginner Tier Warriors and even injure Intermediate Tier Warriors... But! Facing Wang Tong, an 'Advanced Tier Warrior,' the Beast General-tier monster hordes could only collapse. After defeating the Beast General monster squad, Wang Tong and his team also searched the supermarket. "This person is truly... shameless!" Li Kan muttered. 'Shadow Blade' Wang Tong chuckled. "It is quite shameless! To not only escape safely from the encirclement of a Beast General-tier monster horde but also make off with the dragon egg. This level of strength... is at least that of an Intermediate Tier Warrior! An Intermediate Tier Warrior has many ways to earn money, why bother stealing this dragon egg?" Dragon eggs are valuable, but that's relative! For example, compared to an SS-tier combat suit, a dragon egg falls far short. If this dragon egg hatches, it's just a 'juvenile Armored Dragon.' Even after reaching adulthood, an Armored Dragon is usually only 'Beginner Tier Lord-level.' Only through repeated battles and transformations can it gradually improve... It doesn't mean offspring are necessarily stronger than their parents. Like the children of 'Hong,' the world's strongest warrior, it's incredibly difficult for them to catch up to 'Hong.' A mature, ordinary Armored Dragon is a Beginner Tier Lord, priced around 3 billion. Unhatched dragon eggs, due to their rarity, are actually more expensive than mature Armored Dragons, but are estimated to be around 5 billion Huaxia coins. While 5 billion is a lot, for an 'Intermediate Tier Warrior,' they could easily hunt monster lords to earn money with their own strength; there's no need to take advantage of others. So Wang Tong and Li Kan weren't angry; they just called the person shameless! "An Intermediate Tier Warrior, coming to snatch our spoils instead," Li Kan shook his head. "Never mind that. The Armored Dragon is heavily injured, yet it's running so desperately at its limit! Its injuries must be even more severe," Wang Tong smiled. "Our goal is to kill this Advanced Tier Lord Armored Dragon, let's not let it escape." "Let's go." Li Kan nodded as well. Beginner Tier Lord-level monsters are priced around 500 million to 3 billion. After all, even among Beginner Tier Lords, prices vary significantly due to different species and varying strengths. An Armored Dragon, for instance, is 3 billion. Intermediate Tier Lord-level monsters are priced around 1.5 billion to 9 billion. Advanced Tier Lord-level monsters are priced around 5 billion to 20 billion. Most Lord-level monsters fall within this range. Of course, there are always 'exceptions' in this world, and those rare exceptions go without saying. This Advanced Tier Lord Armored Dragon is worth around 18 billion. Unfortunately, looking across the entire world, besides beings that transcend the Warrior tier... among the already extremely rare Advanced Tier Warriors, only a small fraction possess the strength to hunt this Armored Dragon. ... In the outermost fringes of City 003's suburbs, in a room on the eighth floor of an eight-story residential building, the four members of the Thunder Squad were staying. Although Wang Tong and Li Kan had told them to leave the city and go to the highway for safety, the Thunder Squad members were very curious about the two Advanced Tier Warriors battling the 'Advanced Tier Lord' Armored Dragon, so they ultimately decided to hide at the very edge of the city, ready to leave immediately if things went south. "Rumble~~" Within dozens of miles across the entire suburban area, the roars of thousands of monsters echoed through the sky. "That Armored Dragon has gone mad, summoning the entire beast horde, and the whole horde is rioting," the old man surnamed Liu couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Wang is truly formidable, to have pushed the Armored Dragon to this state." "Indeed, worthy of 'Shadow Blade'," Tiger Fang Squad leader Pan Ya nodded repeatedly. Although they were at the very edge, the outermost perimeter, completely unaware of what was happening within dozens of miles, just by listening to the commotion, they naturally formed numerous conjectures. "A monster riot, I wonder what it looks like," the mixed-race youth Li Wei's eyes sparkled. "Young Master, the beast horde is rioting now. Although it's still over ten miles away from us, just in case, we should leave now. We won't hear any other movements anyway," the old man surnamed Liu said with a smile. The burly white man Kalong beside him also looked at the young master. The mixed-race youth Li Wei nodded: "Alright, let's set off, back to the Base City." Immediately, the four members of the Thunder Squad left the residential building and went directly to a nearby highway, leaving City 003. ... Inside that residential district, Luo Feng was walking through the underground garage. The underground garage covered a vast area. What was most special was that the back doors of the basements of all the villas in the residential district were connected to the underground garage... This way, villa owners could simply go through their basement back doors to directly enter the underground garage and drive away their cars. This layout was designed with the residents in mind. "Haha, truly ingenious! It actually connects to each villa," Luo Feng exclaimed. With his backpack, he used a flying knife to cut through a door and quickly entered the basement of one of the townhouses. This basement was divided into a billiard room, an audio-visual room, a wine cellar, and more. "They know how to live," Luo Feng smiled, then quickly went up the stairs to the first floor of the villa. He cautiously hid by the north window of the living room, observing outside. Sure enough— About a hundred meters away, he saw a dark green dragon tail gently swaying. The dark green scales on the tail shimmered with a chilling luster under the winter sun. As for the rest of the Armored Dragon's body, it was blocked by a villa behind it. "This Armored Dragon is quite clever. It probably thinks I'm still hiding somewhere in the residential district, observing carefully," Luo Feng smiled, then quickly went up the stairs to the third floor of the villa. He hunched over, making sure the Armored Dragon couldn't see him through the windows... In reality, after several decades, the windows of these villas were already filthy. On the third floor of the villa, the foremost bedroom. Luo Feng looked carefully out of the bedroom window, searching for the subway station entrance he had glimpsed while flying earlier. "Tsk, tsk, there it is!" Luo Feng quickly spotted one of the subway station entrances just outside the residential district. Based on the overall terrain of the subway garage and the layout of the numerous villas... Luo Feng calculated the shortest route from underground to the subway station! "This is the way!" Luo Feng cautiously went downstairs, then returned to the underground garage via the basement. Following his memory, he quickly ran to a corner of the underground garage! "From here, digging straight forward less than thirty meters will get me inside the subway station." Although it was still a considerable distance, this was the shortest path. "How to burrow underground?" Luo Feng looked around. There were many filthy cars in the underground garage. "Got it!" Luo Feng smiled faintly, his mind stirring. Instantly, a flying knife shot out, silently cutting off the front hood metal sheets of two cars. Then, under the control of his mental force, the two large metal sheets rolled up directly, like ice cream cones, forming a conical shape! Luo Feng himself lay directly inside the conical metal. "Go!" Under the control of his mental force, the flying knife first carved a large hole in the hard concrete wall of the underground garage, and then the 'conical metal' pierced directly through, advancing straight through the soil! ... Hiss, hiss~~ The subway station was already covered in dust. Suddenly, about half a meter of one wall burst open with a 'thump,' rocks and mud clattered down. A conical steel tip pierced through first, and a figure, hidden within the conical steel, flipped out and landed on the ground. "This kind of burrowing, while not as fast as some monsters with digging abilities, is relatively quick for a human warrior." Luo Feng himself was relatively clean. The subway station had been abandoned for too long. Luo Feng examined the subway map, wiping dust off the map's glass surface and observing carefully. "Hmm, this tunnel leads to Kunshan City? Which city is Kunshan City?" City names from before the Great Nirvana period were mostly forgotten by modern people. Luo Feng only remembered some of the more famous cities, such as the former Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, etc. Kunshan? Who knew where that came from. But one thing was certain—Kunshan City was not within Shanghai's jurisdiction. "Alright, this line it is." Luo Feng went to the subway tunnel where trains used to run, jumped directly into the tunnel, and then quickly moved along the subway line in the direction leading to 'Kunshan.' ... This subway tunnel actually still had some monsters. As Luo Feng advanced, he encountered many monsters. Most were weak Beast Soldier-tier monsters, but he also encountered three Beginner Tier Beast Generals, and even one Intermediate Tier Beast General. All of these were relatively small in size. Of course, they were all cleared away one by one by the flying knives controlled by his mental force. ... Subway tunnels weren't entirely underground; many sections were above ground. This particular section of the subway line, which once connected Shanghai to Kunshan, was above ground. "I've advanced about a hundred li, I must be well out of City 003's range." Luo Feng checked the positioning system on his communication watch. Indeed, he was already about fifty li away from Shanghai. "I should just get on the highway and head back to the Base City..." Luo Feng mused. "Who knows what monsters might pop up in this subway tunnel. And I don't want to go to some Kunshan City, who knows where that is." Luo Feng was all smiles, in high spirits. How could he not be? After all, he had escaped Shanghai. Immediately, Luo Feng, smiling, carried the large backpack containing the dragon egg and combat suit and headed in the direction of the highway shown on his communication watch. "Time to go home!"
