Lin Ze strolled among the crowd, looking left and right naturally, looking like a young man who went out at night in search of a late-night snack.
“We have hot pot, barbecue, and even a burger restaurant. It’s surprisingly complete.”
Judging from the street environment and the costumes of the people, this world is obviously more modern and urban, but the environment is very rundown and has a slum-like feel.
When passing by a hot pot food stall, Lin Ze took a closer look at the door sign, which read 'No. 45, Third Street, Containment Area'.
"The containment area doesn't sound like a normal place."
Lin Ze thought secretly in his heart.
The name of this special copy is "Four Yao Island", which is probably the name of this world. In other words, where he is now is an island? And the containment area is a certain area on the island?
There was too little information. Lin Ze thought about it for a while, but still had no clue, so he had no choice but to give up.
At this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bar from the corner of his eye. His expression couldn't help but he thought about it and walked towards the bar.
The appearance of the bar was quite classical. The four characters "Black Cat Bar" were written on the copper sign hanging on the door frame. Before he got closer, Lin Ze heard bursts of noisy sounds coming from a distance.
There was a wooden sign on the right side of the door, with words such as today's recommended menu written on it. Lin Ze glanced at it, made some calculations in his mind, and after making sure that the money in his pocket was enough to afford the consumption here, he opened the bar door.
Went in.
Noisy sounds mixed with hot breath rushed towards him, and there was also a strange smell that seemed to be the aroma of food, alcohol and sweat, which made Lin Ze frown involuntarily.
At a glance, the bar was full of people, most of them were strong-looking men wearing stained coats and rough skin who looked like workers. They gathered around a table in twos and threes, drinking beer and spitting.
Chat loudly in the enclave.
There were more than ten people gathered in the corner, looking at something excitedly.
When passing by, Lin Ze glanced sideways and found that there were two people gambling and playing poker. One of them was dressed the same as most people in the bar. He should be a worker, and the other was a short and stocky man.
The man was wearing an old vest and trousers. His exposed arm muscles were muscular and muscular, and he had a green dragon tattoo near his shoulder.
"By the way, does this world have a culture like dragons?"
Lin Ze looked at the short and stocky man for a few times, felt a little confused in his heart, looked away, and found an empty seat at the bar to sit down.
"What to drink?"
Behind the bar, a young and beautiful waitress was wiping wine glasses. She looked up at him and asked in a deep voice.
"A glass of beer." Lin Ze said casually, then touched his empty belly and added, "Another steak."
"34 kana." the waitress said calmly.
Lin Ze handed over a 00 note and took the change. At the same time, he made a secret calculation in his mind and quickly came to a conclusion.
While only ensuring food and clothing, the money left in his pocket was enough for him to live for about half a month.
In other words, he must find a new source of money within half a month, or directly get a large amount of money that is enough for him to live for 00 days.
The food served at the bar was very fast, and within a few minutes of his contemplation, the beer and steak were served at the same time.
Lin Ze tasted it and found that the taste was average, but his purpose was not for food, so he didn't care.
While eating, he listened intently to the chatter of the people around him.
The bar is full of people and people, making it a good place to gather information.
By the time he finished eating the steak and had half a glass of beer left, Lin Ze had already gotten a lot of useful information from the chatter around him.
The first thing that can be determined is that the place he is currently in is called the Central Containment Area, which is located in the center of Siyao Island. It is also a slum in the usual sense, and outside the containment area, there are other areas.
In addition, there is a force called the Four-Color Organization on this island. From the fear expressed in the chatter's words, it is not difficult to infer that this organization is powerful and prestigious, and may even be the ruler of Four-color Island.
Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but secretly pay attention.
If you want to explore the power system of this world, this organization must be a very critical point, and you must not have any contact with it.
In addition, there were many other scattered pieces of information, which gave Lin Ze a preliminary understanding of the world.
At this time, a quarrel suddenly came from the corner of the bar. Lin Ze turned around and saw that the two gambling drinkers were arguing.
"You fucking cheater!" the man in a dirty coat slammed the table hard and said angrily.
The short and stocky man opposite gave him a leisurely look and sneered: "If you can't afford to lose, don't follow others in gambling. How could you see me cheating?"
The man in the coat hesitated for a moment. He really had no evidence. He just lost too much tonight and had to pay for several months of wages. He said this out of reluctance.
Seeing this, he simply changed his mind and winked at the two nearby companions. Then he looked at the short and sturdy man and said with a ferocious smile: "Stop sophistry, I clearly see that you are cheating!"
"Yes, I saw it too."
A sturdy young man stepped out from the crowd of onlookers and responded.
Then another person came out and shouted in agreement.
The two men and the man in the coat stared at the short and stocky man with unkind expressions.
The drinkers around looked at this scene with great interest. Everyone could see that the man in the coat couldn't afford to lose. He became so angry that he wanted to join his companions to slander and bully the short man, but no one planned to stand up and complain for the latter.
, on the contrary, most people are watching the fun and gloating.
Someone even started whistling and calling the waiter for more beer.
The waitress behind the bar carried the beer as instructed, but turned a blind eye to the conflict not far away, as if she had become accustomed to it.
Facing the eager gazes of the three strong men, the short and sturdy man showed no fear on his face. He still looked at ease and slowly stretched out his hand towards the table, preparing to put away the banknotes.
Seeing this, the man in the coat finally couldn't hold back his anger. He yelled and punched the short man with his fist. The latter sneered, turned slightly to avoid the fist, and then swung his arm horizontally, hitting the man in the coat hard like an iron rod.
He hit his face hard, knocking over a table and rolling on the ground wailing.
"Kill him!"
After a long while, the man in the coat regained his breath, stared at the short and stocky man with red eyes, and shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, his two companions looked at each other, took a step forward at the same time, and attacked the short and sturdy man one after another.
Disdain flashed across the face of the short, stocky man. He easily deflected the fist thrown in front of him and kicked his opponent away. Then, as if there were eyes on his back, he just avoided the fist coming from behind and hit him with a backhand punch.
Hitting the attacker's face, two teeth mixed with blood flew out and flew out, falling to the floor three or four meters away with the attacker.
"asshole!"
There was an angry shout, and the man in the coat had climbed up from the ground without knowing it. He had a dagger with a cold light in his hand. The sharp tip of the dagger was pointed at the short man, and he strode forward to stab him in the abdomen.
No one expected that the man in the coat would suddenly take out a dagger. This move really caught everyone's surprise. The short and stocky man obviously didn't expect this either. He frowned slightly and stretched out his arm to block it in front of him.
Under everyone's gaze, the sharp dagger hit the arm directly, but instead of splattering with blood as they expected, it was blocked on the skin, unable to make any progress.
The man in the coat suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the short man's arm. The surface of the arm turned into a light brown color like dead wood at some point, and the skin was cracked everywhere, but it gave people a thick and tough texture.
The bar became quiet at some point. Everyone looked at the short and sturdy man's arms in shock, and froze on the spot.
After a long time, a voice sounded, breaking the silence.
"Super, super!"
The man in the coat was the one who made the noise. He took a few steps back in horror, as if he had seen something terrifying. He was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the dagger in his hand, and fell to the ground with a clang.
And this sound was like a bomb, instantly detonating the crowd, causing an uproar in the bar.
"This guy is extraordinary!"
"Damn it! How could a transcendent come to a place like this!"
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"
"Yes, yes! Come on, the man with white gloves seems to be nearby!"
In an instant, the bar became noisy, and everyone's faces were full of panic, and they scrambled to escape out of the bar.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Lin Ze couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
According to his observation, the panic on these people's faces was not due to fear of the short and stocky man, but more like a bone-deep fear of something that was about to come to the bar.
"Idiot, you show your abilities in front of the public. You really don't want to live long!"
There was a sudden murmur in his ears. Lin Ze looked sideways and found that the murmur came from the waitress behind the bar.
Seeing Lin Ze looking over, the waitress frowned and looked at him, and said coldly: "Why are you still here? If you don't leave quickly, people with white gloves will take you away too!"
White gloves?
Lin Ze was slightly surprised in his heart, but did not show it. He nodded to the waitress, then blended into the panicked crowd and walked out of the bar quickly.
At this time, the short and stocky man also noticed something was wrong. He raised his foot and kicked the man in the coat who was about to turn around and run away. Then he quickly stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and asked in a vicious voice:
"What's going on? Why are you running away?"
"Bai, the man with white gloves is coming soon!" The dark face of the man in the coat was full of fear, and he struggled frantically to get away from the short man. "Let me go! Let me go quickly! If the man with white gloves sees me,
