Chapter 244: Airship Team
Black Gold City is located on the outskirts of the Polluted Land, and many ore veins were discovered in Black Gold City at the beginning, which set off a mining storm at that time.
At that time, the Black Gold City was extremely prosperous.
Later, as the veins were depleted, although occasionally people still found veins and scattered small ores in the Black Gold City, the decline of the Black Gold City was unstoppable.
In addition, the Black Gold City borders on the polluted land, and few people are willing to retire in the Black Gold City as far as pension is concerned.
As many people have left the Black Gold City, there are also many empty houses in the old city of the Black Gold City.
These empty uninhabited houses lack management, and the government that manages the Black Gold City is unwilling to spend a lot of money to tidy up the old city, which is like a dilapidated spider web, overgrown with weeds, sewage and even monsters have been seen inside.
This is extremely rare.
In the entire alliance, there are very few cities infested with monsters.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing in the Black Gold City? Where birds don't, there's nothing to play, it's rare for a young man like you to go to the Black Gold City. "There's a parlor on the airship.
The ceiling of the heavy metal style of the lounge is dimly lit.
Sitting opposite Chen Yiming was a bald man with tattoos on his shoulders.
This is a warm-hearted Kanto man, whose full name is Tu Sanshi.
"Go find someone. Chen Yiming said.
"Find someone, then it's troublesome, the Black Gold City is not like the outside......" Tu Sanshi shook his head.
Different from the introduction of the Black Gold City that Chen Yiming saw in the books, the Black Gold City he heard from Tu Sanshi's mouth was a different picture.
Chaos and darkness.
Prostitutes, fugitives, absconders, hooligans, scoundrels, addicts...... Entrenched in the old city, there are many empty houses in the old city, and you don't need to pay a penny of rent to live in, you only need to pay the water and electricity bills regularly.
Although the new town is much more orderly, it is not uncommon for bloody clashes to break out in the streets.
This part is related to the historical background and development of the Black Gold City, and the other part is related to the polluted land.
In the polluted land, there is a purple fruit named purple corn, which looks like a grain on the outside, but is extremely addictive and pleasurable.
"This purple corn is not banned?" asked Chen Yiming.
"Who will ban it, those purple corn are growing like weeds everywhere in the polluted land, unless you can turn the whole polluted land upside down, but you should also know how dangerous it is in the polluted land. Tu Sanshi said.
"And the workers in the mines of Black Gold City are well paid, and the mine bosses are ...... If you have money, don't you chase some excitement, the only thing the alliance can do is not to allow purple corn to spread to other cities. ”
"Black Gold City is a garbage dump, and garbage always has to be thrown away. It's better to dirty a black gold city than to dirty the entire alliance, because purple corn can't circulate, so whoever gets infected with this thing deserves it. When you arrive in the Black Gold City, you should be careful not to eat the food and water that others give you. ”
Tu Sanshi grinned.
"Tu Sanshi, you're telling newcomers your big truth again. At a table not far away, a man with a gray pointed hat and a mustache with a red beard said with a sneer.
His cheeks are a little pointy and his cheekbones are prominent, so he looks a little intimidated when he laughs.
"Get out of the way, those who can listen to what I say will naturally listen. Tu Sanshi snorted coldly, picked up the wine glass and slammed it on the table.
"Rom, don't stain your dirty stuff with my friends. Tu Sanshi made no secret of his dislike for Roma.
Rohm took off the hat he was wearing on his head and placed it on the table, with a bag covered in it, and he pulled something like a needle from his bosom.
Leaning back in his chair, his eyes a little defiant.
He pumped a little into the bag with the needle, then squeezed it into his mouth, and then his body twitched and rolled the whites of his eyes upward, and his body trembled.
After shaking for a few seconds, he returned to normal, and let out a strange smile at Tu Sanshi.
"There's no purple corn on the airship, he's just provoking me. Tu Sanshi said lightly. Then he got up and strode towards Roma, who was a little panicked when he saw Tu Sanshi coming over, "Hey, friend, I don't mean anything else, I'm just doing a parody show, you know it's a ......"
"Bang!" Tu Sanshi struck Röm in the face with an uppercut.
Röm slammed on the table, he covered his face and spread his hands, "You punched me, I didn't fight back, and now we're even." ”
Röm blinked, his right cheek slightly puffy.
"Rom, you know that Tu Sanshi's younger brother died because of that thing, and you still dare to provoke him. Someone in the bar said.
Returning to his seat, Tu Sanshi rubbed the back of his fist and said nothing.
"Purple corn is not a good thing, and many people have been killed by it. Tu Sanshi said, pausing, "What is the name of the person you are looking for, do you have any information about him? If there is specific information, I may be able to help you." ”
"Uh......" Chen Yiming should say, he only knows that his younger brother is in the polluted land, but this can't be said.
He smiled bitterly, "His name is Chen Jing, he is my younger brother, I only know that he is near the Black Gold City, and I don't know anything else." ”
Tu Sanshi was stunned for a moment, looking at Chen Yiming's eyes in a trance.
Brother......
A picture came to Tu Sanshi's mind,
In a dimly lit bedroom, curtains block out the light.
The younger brother was lying on the ground naked, covered in his own scars, and he roared desperately, roaring like a beast in his throat, and the expression on his face was like that of a demon.
He watched him die, which was his greatest regret.
Eventually, he buried him in the backyard with his own hands.
Since then, he has seen all the young people who have just come to the Black Gold City, and he can't help but remind them.
He also knew that only a few would listen.
But...... It would be nice to save even one.
"Well, I'll help you pay attention, and I'll let you know as soon as there is any news. Tu Sanshi said.
"That's so much appreciated. Chen Yiming.
After drinking, he chatted with Tu Sanshi for a while.
Chen Yiming returned to his room on the airship.
The first night passed like that.
The next day, Chen Yiming didn't wake up until about 10 o'clock in the morning.
I drank a lot of wine last night, and I woke up a little groggy in the morning.
Outside the airship is the clouds, the speed of the airship is not slow, and the clouds outside the window are passing backwards quickly.
The airship team is connected side by side in a straight line.
There is an iron-locked bridge between the airships.
You can also check out other airships.
Yesterday, Chen Yiming heard Tu Sanshi say that there are a total of twelve airships in the airship team, eight of which transport goods, which are located at the rear, and those who are not allowed to enter except for the airship staff are not allowed to enter, if they enter without permission and are discovered, they will be thrown off the airship.
The first airship was the lead airship, which was also the captain's personal airship, and it was strictly forbidden to enter without permission.
The second, third, and fourth planes are loaded with guests and entertainment facilities, and the crew members basically live in the fourth plane, Chen Yiming is now on the third airship, and there are many entertainment facilities on the second airship.
Tu Sanshi patted Chen Yiming's shoulder meaningfully yesterday.
"A young man of your temper might like it. ”
