Everyone finally made it through the dangerous rainforest.
This rainforest is full of dangers and hides terrible monsters, but the road is still smooth... Maybe this is the blessing of the lucky star's special ability.
"Shit!"
"I can't feel my feet."
Old Musket leaned against a tree and loosened the trousers he had tied in with a rope.
At this time, his feet were swollen like light bulbs, bruised and mixed with blood clots, and there were many traces of mosquito bites on them.
In the tropical rainforest...the most terrifying thing is often not the ferocious beasts, but the omnipresent poisonous insects.
Although the old musketeer was experienced and had already used ropes to tighten "trouser legs, cuffs, collars" and other places where poisonous insects could easily get into, those mutated bugs still tore up some pieces of cloth and got in.
The old musket's entire foot is almost useless.
A finger-long parasite has suddenly penetrated into the sole of the foot, sucking blood greedily, causing its belly to get bigger and bigger.
Fortunately he was prepared.
A cunning hunter will collect some herbs in the forest from time to time.
In ancient China, Chinese medicine had some concepts. Within ten steps of a poison, there would always be herbs that would be mutually reinforcing and incompatible, which seemed to coincide with the cycle of nature.
He first took out a long needle and picked out the blisters and sores on his feet.
Then directly cut out a piece of flesh and blood around the parasite's mouthparts.
These parasites all have protective mechanisms and will release more intense toxins when they are in danger. The simplest way is to cut out all the small pieces of flesh and blood...
Old Musketeer took out the anti-toxin medicine and injected it into the crook of the leg, then took out some herbs and covered the soles of the feet and the wound.
Only then is the processing completed.
Look at Gu Fan and Little Lucky again.
Gu Fan's strength was terrifying, and his skin was so tough that it was far beyond what mosquitoes could bite and tear.
As for Little Lucky, he is even more of a despicable idiot. He can always avoid the bites of those poisonous insects and there is not a single pustule on his body.
It really makes people envious and jealous.
As for the bandit leader named Cai Tuo, he was not so lucky.
There were many bulging pustules on his body, and there were several "poisonous leeches" that fell from the trees on his back, sucking the blood, and soon they became the size of a fist, holding up his vest.
However, no one cares about his life or death.
"Okay, let's go directly to Chiyang City."
"It's not far from here, and the scale is not small. There are at least 7,000 or 8,000 people."
Old Musketeer put on his shoes, limped a little, and showed a rich smile: "Bandit, you can be relieved when you get there. People in Chiyang City hate bandits the most."
Chiyang City State.
It was a city-state built on mountains and forests.
In fact, to say that it is a city-state is, at best, just a pre-apocalyptic town, but it sounds nice, as if it is an independent small country.
The leader there is nicknamed Lieyang.
He is a very powerful hunter, and his grade has reached the highest level of fine steel currently available to humans.
Lieyang has a large number of subordinates. There must be at least 70 people who are strong enough to reach the level of hunters, and the number of evolvers exceeds 300.
This number... sounds like a small amount, not even as much as a unit in a military base.
But in fact, for humans who are trying to survive in the cracks of the end of the world, it is already considered very powerful, and a city-state of about 8,000 people is already quite large.
There are many similar city-states in the Dawn Alliance, and only when they are united can they be called powerful.
soon.
Everyone arrived at their destination.
An earth wall more than ten meters high surrounds the miniature city.
The defense of this earth wall is very average, but it has no problem resisting ordinary carrion monsters.
A few people went through the investigation easily and soon arrived in the city-state. The simple environment was like a small mountain village, with many people building weed wooden houses together.
Cut down some bamboo forests on the mountain, pull up some weeds, and start building a house.
If there is strong wind or heavy rain, most of these houses will be overwhelmed, and leaks are common.
But the strange thing is that the living conditions of these refugee survivors are surprisingly good, and everyone has a happy and satisfied smile on their face.
A woman is building a farmhouse, and many special apocalyptic plants are planted nearby.
It is something similar to "barley". It grows many times faster than ordinary barley, and the grain it produces is like bunches of large grapes, almost crushing the wheat stalks.
Mutated barley.
The end of the world has caused most living things to mutate.
But there are also some plants that are developing in a good direction. For example, the big bunch of golden mutated wheat in front of you was obtained from a big businessman in the Dawn Alliance.
"Um?"
"That's golden barley."
Gu Fan recognized this creature. Golden barley was very precious.
"Yeah, golden barley."
"Dawn Alliance distributed seeds for free."
"But when there is a good harvest, 30% of the tax revenue will be handed over to Chiyang City State, and 30% will be handed over to the Chamber of Commerce."
"But even so, the remaining 40% is enough for the people to live on, and there is even a lot left."
Remaining.
Poor refugees, grow food, and in the end there will be some leftover.
This is something that is absolutely unimaginable in the apocalypse.
Dawn Alliance seems to be a little different from the previous life??
In the previous life, this kind of golden barley was tightly controlled by some powerful "nobles", and it was even illegal for ordinary farmers to grow it.
In the end, the powerful people will distribute the harvest of golden barley, and frantically absorb other supplies from the common people, or use a small portion of food to drain their labor force, all working like slaves.
But now it is distributed for free.
No wonder the woman's face was filled with happiness and energy, and she carefully took care of these hard-won golden barley. It turned out that 40% of it would eventually fall into her hands.
In the apocalypse, being able to read novels until you are full is more important than anything else.
"The butterfly effect."
"A tiny butterfly flapping its wings will cause a storm on the other side of the ocean."
Gu Fan thought to himself: "My return from rebirth seems to have set off a small wind, and this wind has become stronger and stronger, gradually forming a new storm."
Obviously.
The seeds of golden barley are extremely precious, but if they are distributed for free, they can be widely planted and more money and tax revenue can be extracted.
The free one is the most expensive and the most rewarding.
Why does this style of doing things look so much like that of Gu Fan's subordinate... Could it be that the Chamber of Commerce of the Dawn Alliance also has a place for Wang Dafu?
"Boss Gu Fan."
"I'm going to hand this kid over to Chiyang City State, and then exchange the resources I have for some money."
The old musket suppressed the powerful leader and at the same time gave Lucky Star a look: "Take our boss and have a good time in Chiyang City. We have gained a lot this time and can squander it for a while."
Have some fun.
When Lucky Star heard this, his eyes became much more lewd.
