Chapter 481 Small Town

(Sorry, today's update is late~)

After leaving the field, the outline of the city can be seen. This is the most remote town in the Principal of Rose. It is called a small town, but in terms of size, it is probably just a small village. The Principal of Rose is a relatively poor country and does not have much ore resources. Coupled with the harsh aristocratic and civilian system, the difference between the rich and the poor in remote areas is extremely large.

Fortunately, although this town is filled with the black rose flag of the rebels, it is not under any supervision, because the main forces of the rebels are gathering near the main army of the Duchy of Rose, so naturally there is no other force to take care of this town.

When he walked into the town, Xiao Lin and others were a little shocked. Compared with the wealth in the colonies of Baiyin Province and Shuguang Academy, the town in front of him was really miserable.

The whole town can see the end at a glance, with sparse weeds and pothole-filled streets scattered. Next to the street are simple houses made of the most ordinary stones, and many of them have collapsed. It seems to have been destroyed in the war not long ago. As for whether it was done by the government forces or the rebels, it doesn't matter.

The town is very deserted. Although there are several grocery shops and blacksmith stalls, there are very few merchants in general. Most of them are just wearing very simple linen clothes and do this next to the streets, either drinking and gambling, or shouting loudly. There are also ragged people begging everywhere, but no one cares about it.

The appearance of Xiao Lin's group attracted everyone's attention. They were fully armed, because their previous battle with the griffin group left them with a strong smell of blood. Even if they wanted to keep a low profile, it was impossible.

People on both sides of the street, whether they were drinking or gambling, stopped their actions and cast unafraid eyes at them, which was a bit provocative. There was also a warning sign.

"The civil strife in the Principality of Rose has swept the entire country. It is normal for the people here to be a little tough. We try not to cause trouble." Xiao Lin whispered in Chinese.

In fact, he doesn't need to remind him. The most important thing the squad leader wants to do at this moment is to find a place to sleep, where to cause trouble. Moreover, these civilians who don't even wear decent armor have the strength of black iron at best, and they definitely have not received any training. The squad leader's strength is above the black iron level. With his own talent, his strength is definitely superior to anyone in this town. They still have this pride.

Chengming took the initiative to walk to an old woman closest to him and said in the not-so-fluent Norma common language: "Where can I find a hotel?"

This is an old woman who looks like a skeleton. Although she looks pretty young, the wrinkles on her face can be compared with those of a century-old tree. She raised her head and stared at Chengming with muddy eyes for a while, but she didn't answer.

Chengming thought she didn't understand, so he was patient and slowed down and repeated it all. The other squad leaders followed behind and their weapons were collected to show that they had no malice.

The old woman pointed to Chengming's waist, and Chengming was confused. Ibeya whispered in Xiao Lin's ear for a while, then Xiao Lin walked up to pat Chengming, untied her waist bag, took out the bread, and handed it over a piece. The old woman swallowed it a few bites, and even sucked the residue between her fingers several times.

These people are so hungry!

Chengming suddenly realized and regretted that he had not understood it before. He sighed silently. The war between the rebels and the government forces was in the end, and the unlucky ones were still ordinary civilians. He generously took out more food from his backpack, because in the dilapidated room behind the old woman, several thin children were leaning their heads and brains. After seeing Chengming's smile, he was still afraid. But as the first bold child stretched out his dirty hand and picked up a piece of bread, the other children also rushed up.

The bread that Xiao Lin and the others carry is carefully made of the highest-end ingredients. At this point, Shuguang Academy will not cheat its students. Whether it is taste or portion, these breads are the most delicious for these ordinary people who can only eat the roughest food on weekdays.

The move to become famous has made more people nearby move closer to this side. In addition to children, there are women and elderly people, and everyone's face is filled with unconcealed desire.

"I think it might be the rebels who fought and forced the food from nearby towns to be used as military rations." A squad leader whispered, and the possibility was indeed very high.

Although there are not many people in the town, at least a hundred people have come over at once. Chengming can't help but be in trouble. He doesn't have so many bread, and he has to keep it for himself. Xiao Lin frowned, subconsciously pulled Chengming over, and whispered: "Let's go!"

Cheng Ming was a little hesitant, but at this time more squad leaders couldn't help but feel compassion. They lived in peacetime on Earth, and they still had pity for human nature. After that, everyone took out some food and distributed it to these civilians.

But at this time, Xiao Lin also realized something was wrong, because it seemed that even the men were coming towards him not far away, so the elderly and children would not say anything, but there was no need for these men who seemed to be strong, so they were not here to do charity.

Xiao Lin whispered several times, which made the others stop and immediately slip away before more people gathered around. Fortunately, probably because of their charity, someone led them directly when they asked them halfway through and took them to the entrance of the hotel.

It is said that it is a hotel, but it is actually just a few shabby houses. Looking at the spider webs in the corner, I don’t know how long it has not been opened. The hotel owner is a middle-aged man, and he can speak a few bad Chinese and is willing to collect New World coins as a reward.

Although several female squad leaders disliked the environment here, they were not picky. After paying hundreds of New World coins, the group obtained three rooms because only three rooms were intact. After entering the room, everyone fell asleep regardless of the strong musty smell inside.

They are really too tired.

The female squad leader was in the same room. Xiao Lin originally wanted Ibeya to sleep with the female squad leader, but was opposed by Ibeya. The little loli said that she was not sleepy and just leaned beside Xiao Lin for a while. Xiao Lin had no choice but to tell her not to run around, and she couldn't resist the sleepiness coming and she was soon drowsy.

Xiao Lin slept very deeply. It was not until he felt the coldness coming from his body that he suddenly woke up. His blurred vision gradually became clear, but it was still dark. The lying bed disappeared. The tentacles touched the cold water, and there seemed to be a piece of stone under his butt. When he looked up, the only source of light around was an iron window in the corner... (To be continued.)
