Chapter 44 Arriving at Millstone City
"Brother Shi, wake up, Grindstone City has arrived..."
Hearing Uncle He's voice in his ears and feeling someone shaking his shoulders, Wang Wuyin suddenly woke up.
Wang Wuyin traveled all night last night, and had another fierce battle in a small town this morning. He was injured and very tired. After eating some dry food, Wang Wuyin unknowingly lay down among a pile of debris in the car.
I fell asleep and slept all day long.
"Ah, have you arrived at Grindstone City?"
"We're here..." Uncle He nodded.
Wang Wuyin noticed the noise outside the car. He stood up and looked outside, only to find that the surrounding area seemed to be a place similar to a refugee camp. As far as he could see, for several miles around, there were various temporary structures everywhere.
Buildings, stretching tents, mountains of waste, isolation belts, observation posts, bustling and disgraced people and all kinds of noises...
The smell of cooked food mixed with the smell of sewerage...
There were children running around and soldiers patrolling with guns.
All of this is very similar to Wang Wuyin's impression of refugee camps and temporary settlements during chaotic times.
And further away, several miles away, is a tall city wall, with a flag flying on the wall. The flag has a yellow background and a white deer with antlers as lush as thorns.
Although they were several miles apart, Wang Wuyin recognized them at a glance as the badge and flag of the Bailu family.
In the sky over the city, fighter planes roared past at high speed, flying towards the south...
The impact of this place on Wang Wuyuan can only be described in four words: chaos and tension!
The people who were sitting together in the car had almost left at this time, and Boss Feng and a man who had been sitting in the cab were right next to the car. Boss Feng was talking to an old man in a robe.
He also pointed at the truck and seemed to be bargaining. "Is this Moshi City?" Wang Wuyuan asked Uncle He.
"Yes, this is Moshi City. We have no way to enter the city now and can only stay in the temporary settlement outside the city. Is the injury on your leg okay?" Uncle He glanced at Wang Wuyin's leg with concern.
"It's okay. It's almost done. It doesn't affect our movements!" Wang Wuyin moved his feet. Although the wound on his leg still hurt a little, it was much better after the stitches were stitched. "By the way, where are those people in the car?"
"Whetstone City is the destination. Once we get here, we will separate and go our separate ways!"
"Oh, that's it, let's go down then!"
"good!"
The two got out of the car. Boss Feng and the old man in a robe were almost finished talking. Wang Wuyuan saw the old man take out a money bag, count two gold coins and more than ten silver coins from the money bag, and hand them to Feng.
Boss, then the old man waved his hand, and someone got on the truck. In a flash, he turned the truck around and drove away.
Boss Feng came over, cursing, but he still gave half of the money in his hand to Uncle He, "Mom, there's nothing we can do. We don't need that truck now, and we can't drive it away. The Bailu family has already blocked Moshi City."
The road to the north was blocked, so we had to sell it at a low price. The truck was sold for two gold coins and eighteen silver coins to the profiteer. The four of us bought the truck, so each of us got half..."
As Boss Feng said, he handed over a gold coin and nine silver coins to Uncle He. Uncle He was not polite and accepted it directly, but then handed the money to Wang Wuyin directly, "Brother Shi, you two should do your best.
At most, you can keep the money!"
Wang Wuyin shook his head and accepted only nine silver coins, "I'll keep two meals, that's enough. You can keep the rest, Uncle He. It's easy for me to make money, and there are other gains..."
Uncle He naturally knew what harvest Wang Wuyin was talking about. They were the insect crystals that Wang Wuyin obtained after killing the sword beetle. Seeing that Wang Wuyin refused to accept the gold coins, Uncle He no longer insisted and instead took the insect crystals.
A gold coin was carefully collected.
Various families on Nigulu Planet rule different places. The default currency system of the entire planet is the precious metal standard. These gold and silver coins are issued by different families. The weight and purity standards of the currencies are unified. One gold coin can be exchanged for 50
A silver coin, one silver coin can be exchanged for 50 aluminum coins...
Before the Zerg invasion, an aluminum coin could probably buy a steamed bun or steamed bun. Now, of course, the price is not that much. It varies from place to place...
As for insect crystals, they are also a precious thing on Clay Lu Planet. I heard that they can be used to make medicinal materials or practice. The white insect crystal obtained by Wang Wuyin can now be sold for about three to five gold coins.
This is all information that Wang Wuyin knew on the mission information forum.
"Old He, what are your plans now?" Boss Feng put away the money and asked Uncle He.
"I want to inquire about my family first. They were escorted here by the army at that time. Our family has relatives in Moshi City. They should be at their relatives' homes..." Uncle He looked at Moshi City in the distance.
He patted Wang Wuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Shi, thanks to you this time, what I want to see most now is my wife and children. They have not heard from me for so many days."
, I’m afraid I’m too anxious and won’t be able to be with you. I’ll see you again when I have a chance in the future!”
After saying that, Uncle He said goodbye to Boss Feng, and then left directly, neatly, and disappeared into the surrounding crowd in the blink of an eye.
"It's good to have a wife and children. You have someone to remember wherever you go!" Boss Feng looked at Uncle He's disappearing back and sighed with emotion, then squinted his eyes and stared at Wang Wuyin, "What about Brother Shi, do you want to
Where to go?”
"Me..." Wang Wuyin looked at the surrounding environment, "I'll stay here and take a look before talking..."
"Hehehe, that's what I thought!" Boss Feng touched his bald head and smiled, "By the way, I haven't officially met Brother Shi yet. My name is Feng Guyi, and I'm a mercenary..." Boss Feng said
Then he pointed at the young man next to him who had been silent like a piece of wood, "This is Shacheng, my brother. Shacheng's throat was injured before, and now he can no longer make a sound, so he didn't speak all the way. Brother Shi
Don’t be offended!”
No wonder!
Wang Wuyin said something in his heart.
After hearing Boss Feng introducing himself to Wang Wuyuan, the man named Sha Cheng just nodded to Wang Wuyuan, the expression on his face did not change, and he still looked blank.
"It's a bit messy here, and it's not a place where we can talk. If Brother Shi doesn't mind it, let's find a place to have a good meal first and have a good chat. I'll treat you!" Boss Feng was very enthusiastic.
"Okay!" Wang Wuyin nodded.
…
Boss Feng took Wang Wuyin and left the settlement and walked in another direction. After going around here and there, they came to a bustling town next to the settlement.
At this time, it was already dark, but there were electric lights in the town, neon lights were shining everywhere, and it was still very lively. Crowds of people mixed with the vehicles on the street, and the honking of cars and the noise of pedestrians on the roadside were intertwined.
Restaurants, bars, various hotels, and women in scantily clad and heavily made-up clothes wandering the streets of the town have become the biggest scenery there.
"My wallet, my wallet, catch the thief..." someone shouted on the street. A group of seven or eight-year-old boys flowed into the crowd and disappeared quickly. No one moved around, and everyone was not surprised.
Boss Feng took Wang Wuyuan around the street for a while, and then came to a deep and dark alley.
On both sides of the alley, scantily clad women were almost every other meter, teasing passers-by with their eyes.
Some men come here and whisper to the woman standing on the street, and the two parties will then walk to a nearby house, or go directly to some deeper and darker corners to engage in some indescribable activities.
.
Wang Wuyin's ears were very keen. As soon as he came here, he seemed to be able to hear the suppressed or rapid breathing coming from some dark corners.
Boss Feng walked in front. Facing the teasing women on both sides of the alley, Boss Feng sipped his saliva and glanced back and forth. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to pat the buttocks of the women next to him, pinched her breasts, and laughed, looking like a fish in water.
appearance.
Finally, after walking through the alley, Boss Feng led Wang Wuyin to the door of a building. There were several steps at the door of the building. There was also a neon sign with a cross of swords hanging on the door, with five big characters written on it.
