Chapter 944: Ulaanbaatar (II)
Ulaanbaatar, a city on the plateau, is quite different from the photos and beautiful pictures in Xia Yu's memory.
There are not many high-rise buildings, and some of them have simply collapsed in half, leaving only dilapidated ruins.
Yes, the appearance seems to be well preserved, but when the jeep drove through the block, he found that on the other side of the building, there were many uneven pits, which looked like they had been bombed by bazookas.
This is undoubtedly a vestige of war.
The low-rise houses, most of which are also dilapidated, listened to Jin Tian's introduction all the way, Xia Yu knew that the so-called Mongolia, in name only, the beautiful Ulaanbaatar once became a dead city, it was the ingredients that made the city suffer, but it was also the ingredients that made it have a hint of revival.
The jeep drove through a bustling street market.
The stench, rotting guts, and those annoying flies buzzing in your ears make for a chaotic neighborhood scene.
In the tent set up on the street, the butcher slashed at the board with a machete.
Cattle and sheep are the most basic meat materials, but more often than not, they are wild beasts that Xia Yu has never heard of.
A few of the unkempt children, presumably the butcher's family, pointed curiously at the metal cages in which the beasts were imprisoned, and the dehydrated and hungry beasts in the cages looked at the tender and delicious children.
Xia Yu sat back in the jeep and communicated with the system: "How do I feel about this city revived from the ruins!"
"The host has already done a virtual reality PUBG in this scene. ”
"I see!"
Xia Yu patted his head, and then muttered in his heart, he came too much in the system last night to turn the floor into an urn, that is, he hung up after landing a few steps, and later, he was confused, no wonder he didn't have much impression.
"Where are you going now?" Xia Yu asked Kaneda.
"We need intelligence ......"
Tulip in the driver's seat, driving for a day and a night, but his voice did not show the slightest tiredness, "In this plateau, Ulaanbaatar is the most prosperous, and there are also many hidden places for hunters to exchange information. ”
"We're going to a tavern that only caters to food hunters. ”
The jeep came to a slow stop.
This is a deep alley in Ulaanbaatar, there are no high-rise buildings, most of the low-rise houses are dilapidated, and Tulips and Jintian instantly lead Xia Yu to a renovated and conspicuous hotel.
Small three-storey hotel.
Before entering the door, Jin Tianxian deliberately patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and handed him a playful look, "This is the first time to appear in the Hunters Club, right?"
"Nonsense!"
"Is it your first trip since you became a chef?"
"Uh......"
Xia Yu rolled his eyes violently, his food tyrant route was promoted from special grade to Lin, just a few days ago, and his promotion was only known to the people around him.
Read the schadenfreude in Kaneda's eyes.
Trouble is coming!
"Can, can you borrow a hood and wear it?" Xia Yu was afraid of trouble.
"Hood?"
Tulip and Kaneda looked at him strangely.
"I say, is it necessary to keep a low profile?" Kaneda laughed, "In the hunter's world, halberds are still the first rule, and the second rule is not law and order, but ...... Strength!"
"The power to make everyone fear. You already have it, so why do you want to walk in disguise?
Tulip said directly and ruthlessly: "I don't want others to think that I brought a drag oil bottle that eats and drinks." ”
Xia Yu shrugged, "Okay!"
He reluctantly replied, "If anyone is looking for trouble......
Then facing Kaneda's eyes, the senior raised two fingers, "Remember, cooking, strength!"
"These two things represent your status in the circle. The so-called Lin Hunter Ranking is also a cooking ranking, after all, the stronger the hunting ability, the higher the level of ingredients. ”
"Hmmm......"
After following the buttocks of the two, Xia Yu entered the hotel lobby.
Suddenly, the noise rushed to the ears.
In the seemingly quiet and unmanned hotel outside, just looking at the lobby, there are no empty tables and chairs, and the eyes are swept away, about a hundred people.
"Welcome, esteemed guest. ”
Behind the curtain, there was a tall woman in a Mongolian robe, bowing her head slightly.
She looked up and saw Tulip and Jin Tian, her obvious eyes lit up, and she recognized it, "Oh, they're two distinguished friends!"
The corners of the woman's mouth curled into an arc, and then her gaze swept to the full lobby.
Tulip nodded to the Mongolian woman, then turned straight and headed towards a table where a few hunters were seated, and rifles and double-barreled hunting sprays were terrifying on the table.
You know, even if Mongolia is alive, with the chaos of law and order in Ulaanbaatar, you can have firearms at the police station, so thermal weapons or something are almost daily equipment in this land.
Firearms, of course, don't scare the High Hunters.
"It's a tulip!"
"That person, is it Kaneda, isn't it rumored that he was killed by Lei Zhe a long time ago......
In fact, when the team entered, the tavern lobby was filled with whispers.
Seeing the tulips coming in a straight line, the hunters at this table, like avoiding snakes and scorpions, hurriedly got up one by one and took away their guns.
Xia Yu and Jin Tian sat down instantly, and the Mongolian woman was quick to remove the meals of the guests on the previous table, and served a large tray of food, including boiled beef and mutton, and milk tea for entertaining guests.
Sniffing his nose, Xia Yu was attracted by a bowl of hot milk tea.
He took a sip from the bowl.
Mongolian milk tea is a dairy product, but it does not have a strong sweetness of sugar cubes, on the contrary, it has a salty taste that lingers on the tip of the tongue.
The tea used is brick tea, which has a salty flavor, and a trace amount of salt may be added to the tea making process, of course, a pot of Mongolian milk tea, not only milk and tea, Xia Yu also tasted the taste of butter.
"Milk tofu?"
Suddenly, something strange and soft mixed into the tea and entered the mouth, the taste was very delicate, Xia Yu squeezed it with his tongue, and a trace of pantothenic acid was rendered in the hot flow, making Xia Yu's expression also become subtle.
'Milk tofu' he knows, Mongolian called 'Hu Ruda', Mongolian herdsmen's daily food, with mare's milk, milk or goat's milk, into coagulation and fermentation made, soaked in hot tea to soften and then eat, the taste, there are sour and sweet, but more is a strong milk flavor!
Boom.
Gently putting down the bowl, Xia Yu exhaled, and his ears began to receive the gossip in the hall.
Some people are afraid of tulips and gold fields that are at the top of the Lin hunter list, and naturally some people are immune.
"Yo Ho, look who's coming!"
"Our Eighth and Ninth Lin Hunters!"
A flirtatious voice said loudly.
So, the eyes converged on the back of the tavern, and there were four guests at this table, three men and one woman, the leader of which was a young man who looked like he was flowing in appearance, his hair was wrapped in a headband, and his bangs hung down from his forehead, covering one eye, and the other eye was full of indifference.
He wears a sleeveless undershirt, and his physique is not large, but belongs to the strong category, and the arms that are as long as an ape are particularly conspicuous.
Among the four, the seemingly youngest youth is in the position of leader.
"Indian?" Xia Yu heard the strange accent and snorted.
Looking at this table of hunters, it is not difficult to find that the composition of their team is even more strange, including Indians, Muhammad, and Mongolian strong men in Mongolian robes.
"Singh?" Tulip glanced over, and then lowered her eyebrows and said to Xia Yu, "The twelfth hunter in the world, the leader of the Lion King Mercenary Regiment. ”
"Pay attention to those four people, all of them are Lin level!"
Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but take a light breath.
It is rare to see a lin-level on weekdays, but the king's lin kitchen is okay, but if it is a food tyrant lin kitchen, it is even rarer.
"Kaneda, it turns out that you are not dead yet?"
A hunter named Singh, who has the appearance of a young man, raised his glass and asked with a smile.
Jin Tianyan also raised his glass, but he didn't smile, "You didn't die, how could I die?"
"I want you to die, so that my ranking will naturally advance one place, eleventh, and only one position away from the top ten, it's exciting to think about!"
"Hmph!" Kaneda instantly put down his cup.
"By the way, there are only 3 people in your team? This third person...... Tsk, it's too tender!"
Xia Yu felt Singh have one eye staring at him.
