Chapter 1000: The City of Freedom
The lineup of the investigation of the Creation God Research Base that had imprisoned He An soon came down, and Chang Sheng thought that the head of Chu would choose Duo Niu X's people and Chang Sheng, Li Han, and Wu to go together, but he didn't expect that the selection arrangement was unexpectedly casual, and there were only the three strangers of the research institute plus Qian Mixin and Xiao Qi, as well as Xiao Qi's standard Charles.
Looking at the members of the investigation team gathered at the gate of the Exit and Entry Administration, Chang Sheng couldn't help but spit out to Chu Yuntian, who came to see him off: "This is all the members of the investigation team?
As soon as they heard this, Qian Mixin and Xiao Qi were not happy.
Qian Mixin slapped Chang Sheng on the head, and said with contempt on her face: "You are an A-rank person who actually dislikes our two S-rank ones, with such a big face, who gave you the courage?"
Xiao Qi actually chimed in beside him and said, "That's it, Brother Changsheng actually looks down on me and the gold worshipper, it's too much!"
"Xiao Qi, don't coax me blindly!" Chang Sheng said unhappily: "I mean you can add more people, and I didn't say anything about you two, don't misinterpret what I mean!"
"No one added it to you. Chu Yuntian said: "The alliance is very tight now, there are not so many idlers to accompany you to investigate the abandoned research institute, if you are afraid, you can not go, originally I didn't want you and Li Han to go." ”
Brahma also said: "Mi Xin and Xiao Qi are also S-rank, you have always cooperated tacitly, this is a good lineup, if you still want to change people, you can do it, there is no high level, you can pick the low one." ”
"Bring a bunch of low-level ones, and then it's really a send-off group. Chang Sheng sighed and said, "Forget it, so be it." Anyway, I guess the place has long been abandoned, and most likely there won't be any major danger. ”
Chu Yuntian said: "There are some alliance members in the Free City who are on a mission, if there is really a danger that you can't solve, you can send an emergency call for help, and those members who are on the mission will give priority to rescuing you." ”
Chang Sheng made an OK gesture, and after saying goodbye to Brahma and Chu Yuntian, they set off into the realm of gods and demons and headed directly to their destination.
Although the Free City is located in the southern no-man's land, it is not as far away as the Polar Lake in the far north. In terms of general climate, it is located at the junction of temperate and cold zones, but in terms of local microclimate, it belongs to a special area integrating cold, warm and hot.
Despite its nice name, the Free City is not a serious town, and most of the people living in it are not serious, they are all fugitives and captured fugitives, displaced people who have been forcibly evicted from their original places of residence, sellers and buyers who trade all kinds of black goods, and poor people who have been abducted and enslaved and cannot escape from there...... Wait a minute.
According to the common thought, this small city should not be called the city of freedom, but the city of sin. I don't know which one lacks the heart and eyes to make it such a bluffing name, and at first he thought it was a small town with free folk customs, but after checking the information, he knew that this is freedom, it's just lawless!
It was supposed to be more than two months of travel, but Changsheng and them were able to finish it in a month and a half.
Standing on the top of the last hill and looking at the city of freedom, Chang Sheng found that the architectural styles of this city are really mixed, there are all types, from extremely simple shapes to gorgeous and complex, from flat tops to pointed domes, from Chinese to Western, almost all types of architectural styles.
Chang Sheng thought that this small city would be very depressed, but he didn't expect that it was so far away, and Chang Sheng could still see the endless flow of people on the streets, and vaguely hear the lively noise.
"Why does this small city continue to exist?" Xiao Qi asked curiously, "Didn't the gods and demons want to come and take care of it?" This place is a big black market in the gods and demons world, and a lot of illegal goods are flowing out here. ”
"It's not worth wasting manpower and material resources to pay it once. Li Han said: "Besides, the number of criminals is still a small number, most of them are still exiled from various places A considerable proportion of them, and they have not committed capital crimes, there is no need for the gods and demons to do something similar to killing them." ”
Xiao Qi said again: "However, with those bad people, the lives of these homeless people are not easy, right? ”
Li Han didn't answer, and Chang Sheng had to explain to Xiao Qi.
In the words of Changsheng, people are very adaptable, and whether they are doing well or not is not something that outsiders can conjecture. Besides, the reason why the gods and demons turned a blind eye was because the people of the Free City didn't go too far, and it was not time to make a move.
Moreover, if you casually attack a small town in a no-man's land, at best, you are clearing criminals, and at worst, you are going to war with other countries!
Once it escalates into a diplomatic incident, there will be more people who find fault, in short, the follow-up troubles will come one after another, compared with the elimination of a few criminals, the result will definitely outweigh the losses, so the gods and demons don't want to do it.
Xiao Qi scratched his head, his expression obviously seemed to understand or not, but he said: "I see, I see." ”
Chang Sheng shook his head with a smile, and then asked, "Do you want to enter the city?"
Li Han glanced at the three strange guests of the research institute who were already physically and mentally exhausted, and said in a deep voice: "This distance is not much different from the danger of sleeping in the wild and living in the city, so let's go to the city, at least the conditions for food and accommodation will be much better." Besides, it's time to go to the contact point in the city to report to the Alliance. ”
As soon as they heard that they could finally enter the city, the three strangers, who were already tired and paralyzed, immediately looked like soldiers who wanted to quench their thirst, and without waiting for Li Han to say that they were leaving, they rushed down the mountain with their eyes shining. If they hadn't been stopped at the city gate, they would have probably all stayed in the inn by this time.
Chang Sheng, who arrived later, met with the three strange guests of the research institute in front of the city gate, and looked at the few people in uniform black clothes who were blocking the city gate, Qian Mixin asked in an unhappy tone: "What's the matter? Why don't you enter the city yet?"
Lao Tao wiped the sweat on his fat face with a handkerchief, and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone: "People want ticket money." ”
"What?" Qian Mixin spat out casually: "This is not a tourist attraction, it costs a gross entrance fee?" Miss Ben is the first time I heard that there is a fee for entering the city, who set this bastard rule?"
As soon as they heard this, the gang of black-clothed people was not calm, and one of them stood up with the most fierce look, pointed at Qian Mi and said angrily: "Other cities are other cities, our city has the rules of our city! The rules of this city are set by Duan Ye, and no one dares to go back! If you want to enter the city, you must pay the money, and if you don't want to enter the city, you will get out!"
