The slightly reddish sky in the southwest direction was indeed mapped by lights. Lu Xin and Gecko went straight forward along the road, and soon found that the reddish sky became obvious, like a blur of red mist, and there was a faint light below.
After walking for about ten minutes, they saw a rusty sign on the side of the road.
It stood crookedly on the side of the road, with bright red paint on it and a few scribbled characters and arrows:
"Black Water Town"
"… "
Below these three characters, there are a few smaller characters that read "Come on", "Eat", "Dabao..."
The last word is a little unclear.
“The service is quite complete…”
The gecko regained some energy, and following the arrow, the car turned into a path covered with gravel.
On both sides of the road, it was dark and dark, and there was only one person tall grass.
Sometimes, Lu Xin would hear a shredding sound in the grass and see the grass shaking.
The gecko explained in a low voice, "It's a rabbit."
Lu Xin glanced at it and said, "Can you hit one?"
"Don't..."
The gecko was startled, hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice, "That's the rabbit released by Heishui Town, watch the movement."
"When we got to Heishui Town, these people had basically figured out our background."
"… "
Only then did Lu Xin understand that a rabbit means a spy.
After driving on the small road for about half an hour, the car arrived at the brightly lit place that seemed to be very close. I saw that this was a town built on a higher terrain, and there were three or four meters around it. The tall, thick wooden fence was covered with ferocious barbed wire, and the lights they saw in the distance were actually only a small part of the fence.
Outside the fence, large dark trucks were parked, some empty, some full of goods.
There were some people guarding around the truck, looking around vigilantly while smoking cigarettes.
At the end of the path, there was an iron gate covered with rust, and there was a pavilion with iron railings next to it.
"Searching for waste, come and take a rest."
The gecko drove the car directly to the pavilion, and then showed his ID.
"Searching for waste?"
The people in the pavilion seemed to have known that the gecko and the others would come, cast a playful look from the pavilion, looked at the gecko and Lu Xin in the car through the car window, and smiled: "It doesn't look like it, Look how clean you two are..."
His voice was a little high, and the few people sitting in the pavilion with guns walked a few steps closer, intentionally or unintentionally.
On the side, among the people who were resting and chatting next to the truck, many also turned their attention to it.
"We're fucking scavengers, not scavengers, why can't we clean it up?"
The gecko patted the car door hard, and said with a pretentious smile: "Why, do you have to roll in mud to get in?"
"No, just ask."
When the people in the pavilion saw the gecko's fearless appearance, their eyelids drooped, and they said routinely:
"Old rules, you can enter the town, but you can only bring pistols, and heavy firepower must be placed in the car."
"What is heavy firepower, you ask?"
"The chug is heavy firepower. If you want to put it on the car, you can take it on your body!"
"If you park, there are still two options! Park in the town, one hundred Union Coins a day, or ten cans, guns and bullets can also be counted, we have someone to watch for you, but you must carry valuables with you."
"If you park outside the town, no one will care about you. You leave someone to watch, and you won't be responsible for any accidents."
"… "
Lu Xin has gained some knowledge, and there are so many rules for parking a car.
"I'm sure you have to bring it, so what do you need to say?"
Gecko took out his pistol, slapped it on the door twice, and said, "Stop inside to save the tires from being unloaded!"
A lot of eyes around him turned to him with a gun in his hand, and they all took it back.
"Being able to carry a pistol doesn't mean that you can shoot. If you shoot casually in the town, whether it's justified or not, you will be fined 1,000 yuan first!"
The person in the pavilion muttered, took the 100 alliance coins handed over by the gecko, and shouted, "Let's get it from Niuzi."
"Heaven Comes"
"okay!"
The iron gate was opened, and a young man ran out, holding a bamboo card in his hand.
One broke into two, half gave to the gecko, half was tied to the left rearview mirror of the car, and then stood in front and waved:
"Come on, come in, come in..."
"It's alright, I can't shave, I dare to open..."
"… "
"It costs 100 yuan to park a car..."
Lu Xin thought to himself, feeling a little distressed.
But then I thought again: Anyway, it's a tolerance, and it can be reimbursed...
Then I thought about it again, if the tolerance is saved, I don't know if I can keep it for myself...
…
…
The car stopped behind the iron gate in a flat open space, Gecko jumped out of the car, took out the key, and slammed the door.
"Just stop here?"
Lu Xin didn't have much experience in going out, but he was still a little worried, and said, "It won't happen, right?"
"Don't worry about this."
Gecko patted the car's butt and said, "This car is something ordinary people can't handle."
Lu Xin nodded, turned to look, and saw his mother and sister, who had already got out of the car at this time.
Mom is smiling and looking in one direction.
She was looking at a wall, but her eyes seemed to pass through the wall and look further away.
"It's very close, you have to prepare."
Seeing that Lu Xin was looking at her, she smiled and nodded to Lu Xin.
The sister on the side was already very happy, her eyes lit up.
…
…
"Man, what are you doing here in town?"
After stopping the car, the young man named "Niu Zi" led Lu Xin and the others out of the parking lot.
Then he looked at Lu Xin and Gecko with diligence and scrutiny, and said with a smile, "We have more food, drink and play in Heishui Town than in High Wall City, whether you want to live in a restaurant or drink. I can take you all to dinner..."
After speaking, he quietly lowered his voice and said, "If you want to buy some other goods, there are also different places. The big market is closed now, you can only go to the small market tomorrow, and it depends on what you want. Anyway, I Almost all of them know each other.”
"Can you buy someone?"
The gecko laughed when he heard it, and winked at the young man.
"of course… "
Niu Zi was also interested when he heard it, and lowered his voice: "Our labor market is the largest in the surrounding area."
As he spoke, he counted with his fingers: "The labor force of a prime-age man is sold for three at least 10,000 yuan; for a young female slave, it is a little more expensive, and a single one costs five or six thousand, but you can buy it individually; as for the elderly, it is not so much. It’s worth the money, and it’s generally considered a head start…”
"If it's a short term, you can also rent it, and the price is much lower, but you have to pay a premium..."
"...don't think it's too expensive!"
"It's not like it used to be now. The animals are running around all over the place. Of course the price has to go up. Maybe it will be more expensive in the future..."
"… "
Hearing these words, Lu Xin couldn't help but glance at him strangely.
Born in a city with high walls, he didn't know that there was already such a "labor market" outside...
It seems that the gecko should know this, but he didn't expect this one.
He frowned and said, "Who wants to buy this, I'm sorry, I'm asking that kind of..."
"Well, you are so reserved..."
When Niu Zi heard this, he was immediately a little uninterested, as if he didn't like such a small business.
He pointed to the street and said, "There are too many, just pick..."
"Tsk tsk..."
Gecko shook his head, although he was very excited, he still turned his head to look at Lu Xin.
At this time, Lu Xin glanced at an empty place, as if to confirm something first.
Then he looked up at the town and said slowly, "Let's go shopping first!"
"Okay, let's go for a walk first."
The gecko grabbed the shoulder of the young man named Niuzi, stuffed a few coins in it, and said, "I'll find you later."
"Okay, I'm right at the gate..."
The young man named Niuzi readily agreed, but his eyes were a little cunning.
