Venica and Stantoca are the two closest cities to Cluj-Napoca, where the virus originated. The former is the capital and the latter is the largest port city.
Chongxu judged that during the epidemic, as the political, economic, and cultural center of the country, in order to maintain the order of the city, the capital Venica must have a large number of garrisons around and in the city, and the security is extremely tight, which is not conducive to vampire hunting.
Therefore, the relatively lax Stan Raid will become the first choice for vampires.
Liu Ning agreed with Chongxu's point of view, he took out a map to find Cluj-Napoca and Stan Tucha from the map, noticed that Cluj-Napoca was northwest of Stan Tucha, and said, "According to you, vampires will attack several towns northwest of Stan Tucha?"
Chongxu said: "It is not ruled out that they may do the opposite and specialize in the southwest." But they are most likely to go in the northwest direction. ”
Liu Ning drew a small circle with his fingers on the map, and finally stopped his fingertips in a place called Fort Tofora, and then knocked on the window in front of the container and shouted to John in the cab: "Sacrifice brothers, turn around and go to Fort Tofora Town, Stantucha City." ”
The port of Stanturica is located on the west coast of the Axon Sea, one of the gateways to the Mediterranean. As early as the Roman Empire, it was an important port on the Axun Sea and a large cargo distribution center on the western section of the Silk Road.
Some silk porcelain from the Far East was transported here by land and then transported by sea to the countries of the Bartos Peninsula such as Servara and West Tobia in the south. Some were also brought to Italy through the Mediterranean, where they were sold by Italians to European countries.
The Italians soon discovered the commercial value of Stantucha and asked the Mongols to buy the land for a large sum of money when the Mongols occupied the kingdom of Moldocon.
The Mongols, as a people on horseback, were not interested in maritime trade, so they agreed to the request of the Italians.
For the next 200 years, Stantucha was an Italian enclave. Later, the Ottoman Turkish Empire rose, and its territory once covered two continents, the east and the west. The Bartos Peninsula, at the crossroads of Eastern and Western civilizations, is no exception.
Stantuca became the port of the Ottoman Empire again, during this time the Yaxun Sea almost became the inner lake of the Ottoman Empire, and trade was frequent, Stantutica has made great progress, and once became the largest port around the Yaxun Sea.
However, with the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the advent of the Age of Discovery, ocean trade became the mainstream, and trade transit points such as Stantucha gradually lost their usefulness, and the political situation in the Moldokang Republic, where he was located, was in turmoil, customs corruption was serious, and Stanturcha quickly declined. Until now, it is just relying on the unique geographical location to survive.
Located in the northwest of the city of Stantuca, Tofora Fort was historically the residence of the Grand Duke of Stantucha, the supreme leader of the land, and was also the core area of the historical city. Later, with the development of the port, as trade required the continuous migration of the city center to the hibernating seaside, Fort Tofora gradually became an ancient town on the outskirts of the city.
To the west of Fort Tofora is the Nevan River, which flows all the way from neighboring Selwala, where it diverts its course to the east and flows into the sea. On the south side, there are rolling hills.
The group rode a box truck along the road that winds through the hills to the south side of the town.
On the way into the town, Kevin, who was driving, saw Moldoccan soldiers intercepting pedestrians and passing vehicles in front of him for inspection.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, Stantuncha, which has a relatively complete medical system, has become the preferred place for citizens to flee in several surrounding cities.
At this time, Stan's medical system had collapsed and could not accept more patients, so in order to prevent the spread of the virus in the city, the military and police had to jointly investigate outside the city, and the patients with high fever and the "suspects" who had criminal records and posed a threat to the safety of the city were kept out.
The sentry was crowded with people for a while, and more than a dozen sick old men of Moldocan stretched out their hands and pleaded bitterly with the sentry, "Let us in! ”
"Get out of here, don't get in the way. The head of the sentry was a lieutenant officer, and without showing any sympathy for his wrinkled faces, he picked up his belt and slapped one of the old men hard. The officers moved their hands, and the sentries followed suit, using wooden sticks to drive away the crowd of people who did not have a good body temperature.
Kevin was very angry when he saw this, and wanted to get out of the car to reason with the officer, but was stopped by John Sacrifice. John asked, "Why are you going?"
"How can he hit someone?"
"The task is important, don't meddle with it. ”
Kevin said indignantly, "But that's too unusual. ”
Chongxu said: "Ignore him first." Now is not the time, go back and have a chance to give him some color and see. ”
Kevin asked, "What about those old people?"
Chongxu touched his chin and thought for a while, and whispered a few words to Bai Xu, who then tore a note from Su Dong's notebook and wrote it in Turkish: "Go to the village of Xiudape in Gadasia City, where there is a special medicine for curing diseases." ”
Chongxu handed the note to Kevin and said, "Throw it to them when you pass by in a moment." ”
Kevin burst out laughing and said, "It's much better for them to go to Konstantin than to stay in Stanturcha." With that, he walked slowly along with the traffic, and when he passed by the old man who had been driven away, he threw the note out of the window while the sentry was not looking. With the help of the mirror, I saw an old woman picking up a ball of paper and drawing a cross on her chest: "Heavenly Father bless." ”
Kevin asked, "What can we do if the sentinels are embarrassed?" ”
Chongxu asked Quamon for a wad of euros and handed it to Kevin, saying, "Bold too." If he makes things difficult, he will stone him to death with money. ”
"Huh?" Kevin was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, "How can money kill people? Besides, how can a pastor of a church of mine kill people!"
John Priest beside him saw that he didn't understand the joke in Chongxu's words, and translated: "Your Highness means to seal the soldiers' mouths with money. ”
Kevin suddenly realized, looked at the money in his hand, and then looked at the soldiers, "Isn't this a bribe? I don't do bribes. ”
Chongxu Xin said: "Teach these guys to do everything! It's just this dogma that people can't stand it." He asked Kevin, "Is it too much of a sin to give bribes, or is it too much of a sin to connive at the devil to bring disaster to the world?"
"Of course, it's a great sin to condone demons. But is there any connection between the two things?"
"Of course there is a connection. If you don't bribe, not only will we not be able to enter the city, but we will also be targeted by the soldiers. As a result, our plan of action will inevitably be affected. If the action doesn't go well, the news of vampires poisoning living beings won't be able to penetrate. If the rumors are not broken, the sick will not be treated in time, and the devil will succeed. Isn't it?"
