More than a week later, the army green Jeep was driving on a charred land.
Collapsing houses, lush and horribly deformed plants are everywhere, and only the occasional bizarre beast and relic hunters using various means of transportation pass by.
"This area was the most severely damaged place when the old world was destroyed." Bai Chen, who was in the passenger seat, looked out of the window and sighed, "But it was near this area that humans built the first building of the new calendar. City."
In the textbook of "Pangu Creatures", it is only mentioned that the original city was the first city built by human beings relying on the ruins of the old world, and it did not say that its adjacent area was the most severely damaged place, which made Long Yuehong hear it. Some were fascinated and said to themselves:
"They should have suffered a lot and paid a lot..."
But not beaten.
"Well, no matter what the 'prime city' has become now, it is worthy of our appreciation for them to persevere from the apocalypse and rebuild a civilization that belongs to mankind." Jiang Baimian, who was driving, echoed.
Papapa, Shang Jianyao directly applauded.
"What's there to applaud?" Jiang Baimian was slightly annoyed.
Shang Jianyao answered truthfully:
"What you said just now reminds me of the teachers at school."
"Are you allowed to applaud during class?" Jiang Baimian responded angrily.
Shang Jianyao glanced at her profile:
"In addition to classes, there are also court meetings."
He looked like "Have you never been to school?"
Jiang Baimian gritted his teeth and turned his gaze forward.
As the jeep drove fast, a river so wide that Long Yuehong was amazed appeared in front of them.
red river.
The longest and widest river above the ashes.
Its water waves don't look so clean, with green algae and all kinds of garbage drifting through it from time to time.
On the other side of it, there are dense buildings with low heights, and chimneys stand up, spraying grayish-white or rusty-yellow gas above.
This made the whole sky appear foggy, and the light was rather dim even before evening.
There was a loud noise, and two dark black helicopters flew in the air.
Further afield, drones circled back and forth, patrolling the territory.
This made Long Yuehong hold her breath.
This means that they have arrived at the Prime City, the capital of the "First City".
After leaving Weed City, the "Old Tune Group" spent most of the rest of the time traveling through the wilderness, except for a wilderness homeless settlement to replenish food.
Although the "First City" claims to be the largest force on the soil and has the largest population, it can actually control only large and small settlements, places that can be called cities, areas around them that can be cultivated or have mineral resources, and main traffic.
For the wilderness, mountains, swamps, and ruins, the "First City" is also beyond the reach, so the "Old Tune Team" has only encountered many relic hunters along the way, and has never encountered the "First City" regular army.
Now, they are finally going to formally contact the biggest force on the dust.
In the jeep, in addition to Shang Jianyao's undisguised expression of his excitement, Jiang Baimian and others also more or less expressed a certain feeling of anticipation. Even the intelligent robot, Genava, also followed the program analysis. As a result, make yourself look more excited.
After driving downstream along the Red River for a while, the chimneys gradually became scarce, and high-rise buildings composed of steel and concrete rose from the ground.
Between them there is a large number of ordinary buildings, which together form a real city.
Even compared with the ruins of Swamp 1, it is not much inferior.
"How many people can live here?" Long Yuehong asked with emotion.
"It is said that there are tens of millions of people." Bai Chen couldn't give an exact figure, because the "First City"'s own statistics department couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, there are many hunters and caravans coming and going here, and the floating population is the most dusty.
While speaking, the "Old Tune Group" saw a bridge.
It can accommodate eight vehicles in parallel, connecting the wasteland on the north bank of the Red River, the mountains and the first city on the south bank.
At both ends of the bridge, a regular army of fully armed troops was stationed, each with a number of 100 people.
Wearing dark gray helmets, uniforms of the same color, and driving multiple machine guns, they used several dark green armored vehicles to make a simple fortification at the bridge head, leaving only a gap for two ordinary vehicles.
When every vehicle and every person passes through the gap, they must stop and undergo a fairly strict inspection.
According to the information provided by the company before the team set off, Jiang Baimian knew that light weapons could be brought into the city, heavy weapons were all confiscated, and the same was true for the rest of the contraband.
Unfortunately, military exoskeletons are military controlled items.
Of course, the "Old Tune Team" can also choose to take a detour and go to the south bank of the Red River from other places, but at the beginning, there were also troops stationed at the entrance to the city, and there were various aircrafts in the sky to monitor this area.
Long Yuehong wasn't nervous about this, just glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao.
There is a "reasoning clown", where can't you get in
The army green jeep continued to move forward and quickly entered the queue.
Jiang Baimian looked out while stepping on the brakes.
On the scorched black land around, there were many humans squatting or standing with outdated clothes.
Some of them are of the standard Red River race, with sunken eye sockets and eye-catching hair, while some have dark brown skin and black eyes, thin and powerful.
The latter is a branch of the Grey People who migrated to the Red River Basin, called the Red Bank People.
In the "prime city", most of them have citizenship.
Seeing Jiang Baimian rolling down the car window, a Hong'an man who was at most 1.65 meters stood up and walked towards the "Old Tune Team".
His black hair has obvious natural curls, and his dark brown face has a pleasing smile:
"A few, do you want to help?"
He used pure Honghe language.
Pure refers to the original city accent.
Jiang Baimian raised his eyebrows and did not answer.
The Hongan man glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:
"I have a way for you to enter the city without being checked, but I just need some payment from you."
He counted the banknotes with his index finger and thumb.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while, then turned around and made eye contact with Bai Chen and the others.
Then, she said to the guy outside the car window in Honghe language:
"What's your name?"
"Jadi." The Red Shore man replied with a smile.
"How much do you need?" Jiang Baimian continued to ask.
"50 ore." Jadi reported the number, "it's very cheap."
Jiang Baimian pretended to be thinking and said after a few seconds:
"How to do?"
Jadi's smile became more obvious:
"Follow me, go somewhere else and wait for a while."
Jiang Baimian turned the steering wheel and asked the jeep to follow the "guide" and slowly drive towards the ruins on the bank of the Red River.
There is no one here, it seems very quiet.
Jiadi pointed to a fairly intact roadside room and said:
"You all sit and wait, I will discuss with the guards when to enter the city."
There are tables, chairs, benches and other utensils in that room.
Jiang Baimian glanced at each side of the room, and opened the car door indiscriminately.
With a sincere smile, Jia Di watched as several members of the "Old Tune Group" descended one by one.
When Genava's tall, silver-black body came into view, his expression changed instantly.
At this time, Jiang Baimian pointed to the roadside room and said:
"You can let your companion out."
Jadi tried his best to squeeze out a smile:
"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yuehong had opened the trunk, picked up the individual combat bazooka, and aimed in the direction Jiang Baimian pointed.
After a short silence, four or five people came out, all of them were people from the Red Shore with dark brown skin, with slightly old assault rifles and micro-submachine guns in their hands.
"You are very enthusiastic." Shang Jianyao said with a smile.
Jadi forced an explanation:
"It's just a little bit of protection for our own safety."
Shang Jianyao walked over. Taking advantage of his height, he stretched out his hands, helped Jia Di squeeze his shoulders, and asked in a very friendly tone:
"Is it comfortable? Would you like to use more force?"
Hearing this, Jiang Baimian and the others moved their mouths slightly. They didn't know what illness this guy had done, or what old world entertainment materials he had recently read.
Jadi felt fear inexplicably, and could no longer control himself, shouting loudly:
"Put the gun down, put the gun down!"
Those Red Shore people slowly bent over, put down the guns in their hands, and raised their hands.
Shang Jianyao continued to massage Jiadi's shoulders, and asked in a soft voice:
"If we don't enter this ruin, what are you going to do?"
"Just, I'll help you bribe those guards and let them simply check your car." Jiadi replied tremblingly.
Shang Jian Yao smiled and asked:
"How many people do you usually rob like this?"
"No, not much, most people are not fooled, but come here." Jia Di said with a sad face.
At this time, Jiang Baimian asked:
"How much Aure does it take to buy a guard?"
"Twenty to thirty is enough," Jady replied timidly.
Shang Jianyao's face changed suddenly, he kicked the guy down, and took out the pistol at his waist:
"You want us 50.
"You profiteer!"
Seeing Heiyouyou's muzzle aimed at this side, Jiadi almost couldn't control his bladder and urinated on his pants.
"We, we only rob, don't harm anyone." He hurriedly shouted injustice.
Shang Jianyao suddenly smiled again, pulled him up, and patted the dust on his body:
"Don't be afraid, we are very friendly, but I want to ask you some questions."
Watching here, Jiang Baimian couldn't help raising his hand to cover his face.
This guy has so much drama!
Jia Di glanced at the companions who were stared at by the robot, and tried to smile:
"Speaking."
"Are the guards here easily bribed?" Jiang Baimian asked Shang Jianyao for "helping" him.
Jiadi nodded quickly:
"As long as it's not a big deal, they all prefer Ole.
"Anyway, if any contraband is seized, it is also a profit from above. For ordinary citizens like them, Ole is real."
