As the barrier gas gradually became thinner, more and more houses began to appear. They were usually not very high, just like the courtyards that often appeared in high-level planes. The difference was that there were few flowers and plants planted here.
Wherever you can see the houses, there are no people. The whole city is covered with hazy fog. Due to the gas barrier effect, the discharge of domestic waste gas is very troublesome.
Like a country boy, Huang Xuan looked left and right like a country boy. After walking for more than a thousand meters, he still didn't see anyone. He couldn't help but said: "It can't be a dead city, right?"
"There are productive buildings on the edge of the city, and there are very few people." Chu Yining adjusted her clothes, used energy detection, and said: "Let Takim and the others come out."
"Won't it be discovered?"
"It's normal to use energy in the city." Chu Yining chuckled.
Huang Xuan called out Takim and Fitzgerald, then described the surroundings to Mr. Conmas and said, "Do you want to come out?"
"I want to watch these guys." Mr. Conmas laughed twice and said, "Let Arnold go out and take a look."
"That's fine." Huang Xuan said as he did so. In a short while, he was surrounded by a combination of a high-level traveler and an intermediate traveler.
Ning Ao said at this time: "Let Dian Wei also see the world."
"They didn't seal the plane?" Huang Xuan said in surprise.
"Closing the plane will cause great losses, just like closing traffic in a city. You can close traffic in a small county for a day, but how can you close traffic in Nanjing for a day?"
Huang Xuan got used to Ning Ao's tone, shrugged indifferently, pulled Dian Wei out and asked, "Is it safe here?"
"Always go to unsafe places." Ning Ao said very philosophically, like a philosopher in the elementary school department.
On the plane battlefield, Huang Xuan was reluctant to bring out Dian Wei. It was not safe at all to have energy flying around. He was protected by a high-level traveler, and the space-time warrior was a consumable at some point. But I don’t know how Ning Ao and Dian Wei could get along with each other. Eyesight.
Fitzgerald looked at Dian Wei without saying anything, as if he didn't like his ferocious look. Chu Yining said casually: "There are troops at close range. When we are slow, you rush forward."
Dian Wei nodded heavily, holding two retractable biomass halberds in his hands. It's okay to carry metal objects occasionally. For example, Huang Xuan wanders in the plane passage every day, which wastes too much energy.
Energy cannons cannot fire like machine guns, so when there are many troops at close range, mercenaries can also cause trouble for travelers - most of the time making it impossible for travelers to complete their work.
Huang Xuan also looked around, trying to find someone.
Fitzgerald suddenly pointed forward and said: "Casino."
Are there casinos anywhere? Huang Xuan thought for a moment and saw a group of people appearing in front of him.
With red or black skin, curly long hair, flat lips and big ears, they look like a mixture of natives and blacks from Oceania. Huang Xuan cursed and said, "Are we going to contact them?"
"No need, we're out of the barrier here."
Following Chu Yining's words, Huang Xuan felt his chest relax suddenly.
"So long." Huang Xuan sighed.
Chu Yining said with a serious expression: "The long barrier shows that the environment here was once very bad and very interesting."
"Why is it interesting?" Huang Xuan looked at the people near the casino from a distance. They were all strong, and the muscles on their chests could be seen. Their legs and arms were thick and strong, and they looked like people working.
Fitzgerald pondered and said: "The thicker the barrier gas, the more it will be dispersed, and the higher the cost. If the environment here is not good enough to use so much barrier gas, then why should we keep it?" it's here?"
Huang Xuan was stunned and said: "To develop the planet."
Chu Yining shook his head lightly and said: "Even planets without an atmosphere can be developed. This is all a matter of cost. In the final analysis, it is still money. Look at the land here."
Huang Xuan lowered his head and found nothing.
Takim said dullly: "It is mature soil that has been in contact with oxygen for a long time."
What he calls ripe soil is naturally different from what farmers call ripe soil, but Huang Xuan can also understand that the dust on the moon and the land under his feet are obviously two different things.
Chu Yining leaned over and grabbed a handful, rubbed it in her hands and said, "They have been here for at least 50 years, and looking at the transformation of this planet, it only started in a year or two at most..."
She still had something to say. A year or two ago, it was the time of conflict between the Green Pine family and the Norman family. At that time, no one in the administration knew why the two sides were conflicting.
Huang Xuan understood what Chu Yining said and said, "It's expensive to use 50 years of gas barrier?"
"Almost all of them have to be changed five times, which would require at least two to three tens of billions of thermal cycles, which is enough to transform this planet." Fitzgerald said.
Chu Yining said calmly: "We want to go in and take a look."
Huang Xuan coughed and said, "You have to go in anyway, but I should give the order."
"OK." Chu Yining said something in English with a smile and took a step back.
Huang Xuandao: "Let's go in and take a look."
People in this city all walk together in twos and threes. Six people are not a big goal. The clothes of three high-level travelers can change their styles. Huang Xuan tore some of his clothes and got some mud on them. I can see it too.
Dian Wei and Anoyi also put on beggar costumes.
After walking for a while, Chu Yining whispered: "The currency here is not a hot circle."
Huang Xuan also whispered: "Is there any problem? P11's currency is not a hot circle."
"Thermal circles are the common currency of high-level space and time, and are legal tender stipulated by the Plane and Space-Time Administration. Plane B has signed an agreement. We are in the high-level time and space of B108, and they do not use thermal circles."
"Maybe they find hot circles troublesome, or have two currencies?"
"Is it easier to swipe the card directly with a hot card, or is it easier to pay with real currency like they do?" Six people were walking on the road, and they could see shops along the road, which were as backward as the 0th century.
But there are all kinds of high-tech products on the street, and at least the density of shuttle cars is not low.
"Some people don't like to swipe credit cards, like me." Huang Xuan Huang Xuan shrugged: "Credit cards will tell everyone what you have done.
Chu Yining brightened up, glanced at Huang Xuan, and saw that he was still confused, and said in a louder voice: "It seems they don't want us to find them through Reka. No wonder we don't have the information here."
She completely regarded this as her job. Chu Yining knew that Huang Xuan didn't understand and wanted to borrow his power, so she said: "Recard is the credit card you mentioned. We have a financial clearing agency that is responsible for balancing The debt relationships between the various planes, and then each plane balances the debt relations between the planets within them. If the No. 7 star uses hot cards or hot circles, then we can find its information in the clearing agency. .So they don’t have to.”
"There can be no exceptions? You said this is not a native planet. They don't use thermal circles. How can they spend money outside?"
"It's the same as using the currency here to exchange for hot circles outside." Takim said in a low voice: "I have seen many such tricks."
Huang Xuan heard what he said seriously and couldn't help but look at him twice.
Just listen to Takim continue: "They are miners."
Chu Yining's eyes curled up and she said, "How do you know?"
Takim's expression was square, and without looking at Chu Yining, he said: "They are very strong, and there are many people." He pointed to the front and said: "On the colonial planet, there are not many industries that can accommodate so many people, and, There are only men here.”
"Can't women be miners?" Huang Xuan asked strangely.
Several people laughed, but Takim did not laugh. He replied: "The mine is very narrow, and the space for machinery is not large. It often needs maintenance, and it often requires outdoor work, so there are few women."
After a pause, he added: "There are many casinos here, and miners like casinos the most."
Fitzgerald nodded and said: "Money comes easily, so I like going to casinos."
Chu Yining was silent and thinking about something. The six people slowly integrated into the city.
After walking on the road for another 0 minutes, more and more people could be seen, and the 6 people also started talking to the people around them. There were Xiaoni Base and Xiaoxi Base in P001. Huang Xuan could understand other people's words. , the most powerful one is Chu Yi Ning, she can speak by herself without translator.
At this level, in China, if you sit at home and dictate tens of thousands of words of material every day, you can eat and drink without worrying about buying a car or a house.
At nightfall, mercenaries riding swift war beasts began to come and go on the streets, and then travelers began to appear. Chu Yining was the most alert. She grabbed Huang Xuan and others, got into a small alley and said, "They may Start searching us."
"so long?"
"They were not sure where we fell. They probably reported it to us because they searched quietly and failed to find it."
Huang Xuan laughed. He was very familiar with this process. It was like when something happened locally, the central government was always the last to know, so the penultimate one was naturally spared.
"It's not a big thing, but we can't let them find traces." Chu Yining said softly: "They don't know what we look like, but people in the city should have records. Now we have to find a way to find some money."
When she asked for some money, she looked at Takim, who was obviously familiar with the resource planet.
The gentleman from the Taurus plane said honestly: "Go to the casino."
"The casino might check our records," Fitzgerald said.
"Then go be a miner."
Chu Yining said: "Let's go to the casino."
