The slightly red sky in the southwest is indeed reflected by light. Lu Xin and Gecko kept moving forward along the road, and soon found that the reddish sky became obvious, like a vague red mist, with some light underneath.
After walking for about ten minutes, they saw a rusty directional sign on the side of the road.
It stood crookedly on the roadside, with bright red paint and several scrawled characters and arrows on it:
"Blackwater Town"
"..."
Below these three words, there are several slightly smaller words, saying "Come on", "Eat" and "Dabao..."
The last word is a bit unclear.
"The service is quite complete..."
Gekko felt a little more energetic. Following the arrow, the car turned into a gravel road.
Both sides of the road were dark and dark, with grass only as tall as a person.
Sometimes, Lu Xin would hear a crackling sound coming from the grass and see the grass shaking.
The gecko laughed softly and explained: "It's a rabbit."
Lu Xin took a look and said, "Can you shoot one?"
" Don't..."
The gecko was startled and hurriedly stopped him, whispering: "That's a rabbit released from Blackwater Town to observe the movement."
" When we arrived at Blackwater Town, these people had basically figured out our details."
"..."
Lu Xin then understood that the rabbit was. Spy means.
After driving on the small road for about half an hour, the car arrived at a brightly lit place that seemed very close. I saw that it was a town built on higher ground. There were thick wooden fences three to four meters high all around, covered with ferocious barbed wire. The lights they saw in the distance were actually only a small part of the fence.
Outside the fence, there were large dark trucks parked, some empty, some full of goods.
There were some people guarding the truck, looking around warily while smoking cigarettes.
At the end of the path, there is a rusty iron gate, and next to it is a pavilion with iron railings.
"Foreigners, come here and take a rest."
Gekko drove the car directly to the pavilion, and then showed his ID.
"Souhuang?"
It seemed that the people in the pavilion had already known that Gekko and the others would come. They cast a playful look from the pavilion and looked at them through the car window. He looked at Gecko and Lu Xin in the car, and said with a smile: "It doesn't look like it, you two are quite clean..."
His voice was a bit high, and several people sitting in the pavilion were A man holding a gun strolled a few steps closer, intentionally or unintentionally.
There are also many people resting and chatting next to the truck.Cast their gaze over.
"We are fucking scavengers, not scavengers, why can't we do it cleanly?"
Gecko patted the car door hard, pretending to be rough and smiling, : "Why do you have to roll all over in mud to get in?"
"No, just asking."
The people in the pavilion saw the gecko showing no fear, and their eyelids dropped. Then he drooped and said in a routine manner:
"Old rules, you can enter the town, but you can only bring pistols, and heavy firepower must be placed in the car."
"What are you asking? Is it heavy firepower?"
"The tug tug tug is heavy firepower. If you want to put it on the car, you can take it with you!"
"If you park the car, there are still two. It’s a choice! Park in the town, one hundred alliance coins a day, or ten cans, and guns and bullets can be used. We have someone to look after it for you, but you need to keep your valuables with you.”
"If you park outside the town, no one will care about you. You can leave people to look after you. We will not be responsible for anything that happens."
"..."
Lu Xin was somewhat confused. I have gained experience, and there are so many rules when parking a car.
"I must bring it with me. Do you even need to tell me?"
Gecko took out his pistol, patted the car door twice, and said, "Stop inside. Don't let anyone remove the tire!"
Many people looked at him for having a gun in his hand, so he took it back.
"Being able to carry a pistol does not mean that you can shoot. If you shoot casually in the town, regardless of whether it is justified or not, you will be fined a thousand yuan first!"
The person in the pavilion He muttered, took the hundred alliance coins handed over by Gecko, and shouted: "Take this, Niuzi."
"Okay!"
The iron gate was opened, A young man ran out from inside, holding a bamboo sign in his hand.
Break one into two, give one half to the gecko, and tie the other half to the left rearview mirror of the car, then stand in front and wave his hands:
"Come on, come in... ..."
"It's okay, you can't scratch it, just drive boldly..."
"..."
"It costs a hundred yuan to park a car... ”
Lu Xin thought, feeling slightly distressed.
But then I thought again: It’s a business trip anyway, so it can be reimbursed...
Then I thought again, if I save money on business travel, I wonder if I can keep it for myself... …
…
…
The car stopped in a flat open space behind the iron gate. Gecko jumped out of the car and took out the key. , slam the car door.
"Is it okay to just stop here?"
Lu Xin didn't have much experience in going out, so he was still a little worried and said, "Will something happen?"
< p>"Don't worry about this."Gecko patted the butt of the car and said, "This car of ours cannot be dealt with by ordinary people."
Lu Xin nodded., turned around and saw his mother and sister, who had also gotten out of the car at this time.
Mom was smiling and looking in one direction.
She was looking at a wall, but her eyes seemed to go through the wall and look farther away.
"It's very close, you have to be prepared."
Seeing Lu Xin looking at her, she smiled and nodded to Lu Xin.
The sister on one side was already very happy, and her eyes lit up.
......
......
"Men, what are you doing in this town?"
After stopping the car, the A young man named "Niu Zi" led Lu Xin and the others out of the parking lot.
Then he looked at Lu Xin and Gecko diligently and with some scrutiny, and said with a smile: "There are more things to eat, drink and play in Heishui Town than in High Wall City. No matter you are If you want to stay in a hotel, or if you want to drink and eat, I can take you there..."
As he spoke, he quietly lowered his voice and said, "If you want to buy some other goods, there are also different options. The big market is closed now. You can only go there tomorrow. As for the small market, it depends on what you want. Anyway, I know almost everyone."
"Can I buy people?"
The gecko laughed when he heard it and winked at the young man.
"Of course..."
Niu Zi became interested when he heard this and lowered his voice: "Our labor market is the largest in the surrounding area."
While talking, he counted on his fingers: "The labor force of a prime man can be sold for 10,000 yuan, starting from three; young female slaves are a little more expensive, costing 5,000 or 6,000 each, but they can be bought individually; as for the elderly, no No matter how valuable it is, it is usually considered as a partner..."
"If it is for a short term, you can also rent it, and the price will be much lower, but you have to pay a deposit..."
"...Don't think it's too expensive!"
"Now is not the past, with animals running around all over the place. Of course the price will go up, and it may be even more expensive in the future..."
" ..."
Hearing these words, Lu Xin couldn't help but look at him strangely.
Being born in a high-walled city, he didn’t know that there was such a “labor market” outside...
Gekko seemed to know this, but he didn’t expect this. One crop. < /p>
When Niu Zi heard this, he felt a little bored and seemed to look down on such a small business.
Pointing to the street casually, he said: "There are too many, pick whatever you want..."
"Tsk, tsk..."
The gecko shook its head , although he sounded very excited, he still turned to look at Lu Xin.
At this moment, Lu Xin glanced at an empty place, as if to confirm something first.
HoweverThen he looked up at the town and said slowly: "Let's take a stroll first!"
"Okay, let's take a stroll first."
The gecko hugged the man named Niu Zi The young man put a few coins on his shoulder and said, "I'll see you later."
"Okay, I'll be right here at the gate..."
The one named Niuzi's young man readily agreed, but his eyes were a little cunning.
