Lu Xin took a moment to understand it carefully before understanding what Han Bing said.
Black Marsh City There is such serious pollution, but we don't know what the source of this pollution is.
Even in Black Marsh City's request for help, it is not clear what is the direct cause of this pollution.
Therefore, they naturally don't know whether this kind of pollution is caused by some kind of unconscious Pollution Source, or some kind of Mental Monster, or even a certain ability user. In this case, if they come to the door rashly, it will naturally increase unnecessary dangers.
They didn't even know if they would fall into some unknown trap if they came directly to the door.
I have to say that Han Bing did consider this issue more carefully than himself.
"Then it's up to you."
Lu Xin followed the good advice and agreed to Han Bing's suggestion.
After a night's rest, they continued towards Black Marsh City, and after noon the next day, they entered the range of Black Marsh City.
Black Marsh City, named after the damp and dark swamps surrounding it.
Originally, Black Marsh City was not in such an environment.
Just because of the breakdown of order after the Crimson Moon incident, some water conservancy facilities lacked maintenance and gradually deteriorated, resulting in a large number of floods that were left unmanaged. Coupled with other factors such as weather or terrain, large swamps were eventually formed.
Looking up, there are puddles and wet mud everywhere, giving people a dark, damp and cold feeling.
However, the formation of this swamp was an advantage in preventing these madmen from approaching in the era when madmen were running around in the wilderness. Therefore, someone built such a High Wall City in the middle of this dark swamp, gathering a large number of people.
Steel Monster was driving in the swamps, on the winding road, which seemed quiet and monotonous.
In the dark and endless swamp, yellow reeds and some waterlogged dead trees can be seen everywhere.
There are clusters in the east and clusters in the west, with strange shapes and ferocious branches. At first glance, they look like silent and motionless skeletons.
What does a city look like when its sleep is stolen for half a month?
Surprisingly, it is very normal.
When Lu Xin and others followed the road to the east gate of Satellite City No. 3 to the east of Black Marsh City, they saw that the steel suspension bridge was lowered here. A road paved with heavy iron plates led directly into Satellite City. There were barbed wire fences, sharp wooden frames, and sentries in front of the suspension bridge.
Two teams of four soldiers guarded the bridge, checking passing vehicles.
Judging from the layout, it is heavily guarded, but everyone looks lazy and sleepy.
"Hello, I'm here to do business..."
The car drove to the door, and Han Bing handed the four documents to Gecko on the driver's seat. Then Gecko stuck his head out, took a stack of documents, and a few hundred-dollar bills sandwiched inside the documents, and handed them directly to several soldiers who came with guns on their backs.
Lu Xin is slightly curious.
Han Bing meant to enter the city to see the situation before making plans without alerting the other party Administrative Hall.
But if the other party knew the purpose of his group, wouldn't it be exposed?
But what he didn't expect was that the soldier on the other side just looked at it for a few times and then handed the ID back. However, a few banknotes in the ID were missing. Then a head opened one towards the car and said, "Do you have any guns in the car?"
Gecko smiled and said, "Boss, the man brought two guns, but not the other guns."
The soldier immediately glared at Gecko and said, "You are so smiling."
Gecko's face suddenly became tense.
The soldier waved his hand and said, "Go in and don't cause trouble in the city. If you really cause trouble..."
"... Just come back to us. Just give us the money and we will settle the matter for you."
"..."
"It's so humane..."
After the car drove into the city, Lu Xin couldn't help but sigh.
Still a little confused, she turned around and glanced at Han Bing who was taking the stack of IDs. Han Bing seemed to know what Lu Xin was thinking about. He opened the top ID with a smile and saw his own photo inside. The address was XX company in XX city, as well as the steel seal and the pass seal. He smiled and said, "I have already considered the hidden problems, so I have prepared a few more identities for us."
"As long as we want, we can be the special medical team coming to support from Qinggang, or we can be the homeless residents of Sea Nation, or we can be the merchants who come to wholesale Black Grass cigarettes in a large gathering point, or even the knights who cooperate with Central City."
"..."
Lu Xin After hearing this, he was immediately in awe of Han Bing. The little girl was so attentive.
The vehicle drove into the main road of Black Marsh City Satellite City No. 3, and the bustling side of the city suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xin and others.
I saw that it was the beginning of night, and the lights of the streets and shops on both sides were already shining, with feasting and feasting, people wandering around, dazzling goods and gorgeous women, alcohol and low-quality perfume, and the smell of vomit...
Lu Xin rolled up the car window silently and whispered, "This place looks more prosperous than Qinggang..."
"Everyone has different ways of surviving."
Han Bing explained with a smile, "There are many swamps around Black Marsh City, making it difficult to grow crops. However, because of this large swamp, it isolates the roads on the east and west sides. If you want to take a detour, it is too far. If you want to cross, you must pass through Black Marsh City. Therefore, a business-based survival model has been formed here. It is mainly used as a transit of goods and the collection of taxes from major business groups."
"In addition to these, the traveling convoys, business groups, knights, travelers and other people from all religions and professions gather here, and a large number of casinos and skins... that kind of business are created here. In addition, Black Marsh City itself is the largest Black Grass planting base in the alliance, which has accumulated a lot of wealth. However, because of this, Black Marsh City is in chaos, with the upper class greedy for pleasure and the bottom layer mixed."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for us to sneak in!"
"..."
"Black Grass?"
Lu Xin understood Han Bing's words, but his attention was attracted by several weird words in them.
He had also heard this name when he was in Qinggang, but it seemed that this thing was strictly prohibited in Qinggang itself.
"Yes, that's what you understand."
Han Bing said, "Although Black Marsh joined the alliance with its strong wealth and important central position, his way of living is closer to the wilderness in a certain form. Things like Black Grass are mostly strictly prohibited in other High Wall City, but here, on the surface, they abide by the laws of the alliance and prohibit circulation, but secretly... haha, they support the trade of this stuff."
Lu Xin It can be heard that Han Bing said it very tactfully.
However, when he heard these things, he didn't feel anything strange in his heart.
Even though there was Black Marsh City outside the car window, subconsciously, he still felt that these things were far away from him.
Probably, every city has its own temperament.
Things that seemed unbelievable in Qinggang seemed natural in Black Marsh.
Gecko drove the car and slowly moved forward in the crowded crowd without interrupting the conversation between Lu Xin and Han Bing.
It wasn't until they finished speaking that they smiled and said, "We'll talk about condemnation later. Captain, where are we going now?"
After receiving his reminder, Lu Xin reacted and glanced at the scenery outside the car window, at the endless lively street.
With the dark buildings on both sides and the weaving crowds, only when you are in a city can you know how big the city is.
In particular, this is just one of Black Marsh City and Satellite City. There are four similar or even larger cities...
Too huge...
And such a huge place has been completely enveloped by that mysterious pollution?
At least on the surface, there is no clue at all.
Lu Xin sighed, turned to look at Han Bing, and said, "What suggestions do you have now?"
Han Bing was holding a small mental detector and looking at the values on it. Hearing Lu Xin's words, he raised his head and smiled, "My suggestion is that after traveling for so many days, you can find a place to stay first and then make other plans."
Lu Xin After hearing this, he said, "Then find a place to stay first."
Then he looked at Han Bing and said, "Since this place may be enveloped by pollution, is that okay with you?"
Han Bing is not an esper, so his resistance to pollution is naturally weaker than his own.
After listening to Lu Xin's words, Han Bing put a small mental detector on his wrist. It looked like an ordinary electronic watch. He raised his head and smiled, "Since I have to work in such a dangerous place, of course I have made some preparations. If there is pollution approaching me, I can at least detect it in advance and hold on for at least ten seconds..."
Lu Xin was slightly startled. "Then what?"
Han Bing glanced at him and said, "Of course I shouted for help to Mr. Shan Bing..."
"..."
Lu Xin was unable to refute.
After deciding to find a place to stay, they began to search for a suitable place. Soon, they saw a magnificently decorated hotel near the city center near Kuronuma Satellite City No. 3. Then the car parked outside and entered the hotel together.
The lobby was quiet, but behind the counter, loud music was playing.
The front desk lady in a professional suit was shaking her head and shaking her hair crazily in front of a digital camera set up on the front desk to the music. In this empty lobby, the sound of music echoed, seeming somewhat hollow and weird.
But she was very excited, and her hair was swung like a mop.
"Move the big times..."
Gecko also twisted a few times to follow the music, then knocked on the counter and said with a smile, "Four double beds."
Lu Xin was a little surprised. "Why do you specify the double bed room?"
Behind the counter, the woman bouncing to the music didn't seem to hear her, and ignored Gecko's words.
"Hello... four, double bed room..."
Gecko reached out, turned off her stereo, and raised her voice at the same time.
"Uh-huh!"
The music suddenly disappeared and the front desk lady suddenly stopped.
From the crazy swing to the sudden stop, it seemed a bit weird.
Under the hair that was scattered in front of him, a pair of bloodshot eyes appeared, looking at them blankly.
Haha, I still drove it out, so I might as well update it together.
Old Ghost I don't like to keep dear readers waiting...
