Chapter 138: Countdown (III)
Even the most dilapidated gathering place will have commerce and trade, and Hope Town is no exception. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info in a clearing at the corner of the street, and Fei Lun and the others soon saw a dilapidated place that looked like a slum and a thrift market. It's just that most of the clothes are worn, and there are some handmade weapons and firearms. This is also something that is sold in most of the Gathering Places market, and of course, you can't expect to find any artifact treasures in a place like this.
The appearance of Fei Lun and the others quickly attracted everyone's attention, and the vendors in the market made a slight commotion, but soon fell silent again. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the glamorous, clean clothes of Fei Lun and the others, without a trace of creases and dirt, it can be seen that these people are obviously not interested in the rags they sell.
However, not everyone will die. Just as Feren was about to leave with Eluka and the others, a teenager hurried to their side and blocked Feren's path.
"Sir, do you need anything?"
Hearing the boy's voice, Pheren reached out and lifted the brim of his hat, then glanced at him. The young man seemed to be in good spirits, and although his body was a little thin due to long-term malnutrition, his eyes and tone were cheerful and rare in this dark town. Sensing Feren's gaze, the young man hurriedly took a few steps back and lowered his head.
"I beg your pardon for my presumptuousness, but if there's anything you want, I think you can tell me...... I can help you save a lot of hassle and make sure you don't waste your time. Of course, if you can give me a small reward for this, then it will be enough for me. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing the young man's assurance, Feron couldn't help but glance at him curiously, and then chuckled.
"We want to buy food, do you have a solution?"
"Food?"
In the face of Fei Lun's inquiry, the young man's face suddenly froze. In these small gathering places, food is always the most important commodity. It can be said that a lot of money is not exchanged, so you can tell a thing or two by looking at the prosperity of a gathering place just by looking at whether it sells food. A well-established gathering place like the Ninth District, which not only has enough food to supply the inhabitants of the agglomeration, but can even provide some high-end food for the Big Seven like Faerun, is already a powerful force.
And people like Hope Town, who are malnourished and send out to ask for food en masse, are naturally the easiest to use as negative teaching materials in all gathering places.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I can't help it if you want to trade food."
In this case, the teenager obviously couldn't say anything more. He originally expected that the other party would be able to exchange food for something, but when he heard that Fei Lun and the others were also here to exchange food, then he couldn't help.
"Our food here is rationed, that ........."
"It's okay."
Before the boy could say anything more, Feren interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"We want to meet with the ruler here, can you help us get the word across?"
"This ............"
This time, the young man hesitated for a moment, he raised his head, carefully looked at Faren and the others, and then bit his lower lip and nodded as if he had made up his mind.
"Of course, this gentleman, please come with me."
There are rulers in any agglomeration, and in this era, the so-called democracy has long been thrown into the dustbin. A strong ruler is what everyone wants. This is also the reason why Fei Lun is reluctant to establish his own power, indeed, to build a strong force, it looks majestic to be windy and rainy. But as a ruler, you have to think about the people under your rule. Whether they are a hero who protects the people or a tyrannical tyrant, they need to think about their subordinates. Where is it like Faeron, wandering around with Delin, killing and leaving whenever he wants, without caring about what other people think.
As the saying goes, for the emperor, the most extravagant thing is freedom.
And for Pheren, he obviously doesn't intend to lose this freedom either.
Unfortunately, most people would rather choose something else.
Under the leadership of the boy, Fei Lun and the others soon came to the residence of the "mayor" of Happy Town. It's a different place than the barren and destitute town outside. The residence of the "mayor" looks like it was once a manor. And now it is occupied by the ruler of Happy Town. Compared with the dark, dim, and dilapidated environment outside, the lights were brilliant here, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the door outside were also brightly dressed, holding shiny guns in their hands, which looked essentially different from those beggars outside.
"This is the mayor's house."
The young man who led the way in front looked timidly at the manor in front of him, and then explained to Fei Lun and the others in a low voice.
"The mayor of the town occupies the entire estate, and has recruited many people to work for him, and almost all the food in our happy town is produced here."
After saying this, the boy raised his head and walked to the gate. And when they saw the young man coming, the soldiers who were standing guard at the door also immediately stepped forward and blocked his way.
"Hey, Sandy, what are you doing here?"
"Fuck off, boy, this isn't the place for a bunny like you!"
As he spoke, one of the soldiers even raised the butt of his rifle and slammed it on the young man's forehead, knocking him to the ground. The boy touched his forehead with one hand and shouted loudly.
"Wait, I'm bringing someone to meet the adults!"
"Bringing someone? Who? You can ......... such a small thing."
Hearing the young man's words, the soldier led by him also showed a disdainful expression, he originally wanted to taunt the other party a few words, but when he saw Fei Lun and the others who appeared from behind the young man, the two soldiers were stunned for a moment. It is no wonder that in this land of the last days, although they have also seen many people, they have never seen such neat, neat, gorgeous and beautiful clothes as Fei Lun. Not to mention Feron's handsome face that wanted a man to shoot him directly when he saw it, just the sweet and lovely Franka, as well as the charming and touching Eluka and the bright and dazzling Delin in a maid costume, were enough to make the two stunned. Especially the slender legs outlined by the pure white pantyhose under the miniskirt, the eyes of the two of them were straight, and they almost knelt down drooling.
"What a bunch of idiots."
Looking at the two guards standing there, as if they had been immobilized, Eluka couldn't help but snort. She now finally understands why Miss Moon and Alyssa have always emphasized that women should use their charm to solve problems. In the past, when they came to scout and exploration, they disguised themselves as much as possible to avoid attracting attention. But even so, they still encountered a lot of wariness and suspicion. And now, just by making a stop here, the two outlaws immediately lost their original vigilance and became almost like drooling idiots. Eluka was sure that even if she shot the two of them directly now, they would not have any reaction.
If it weren't for the fact that Eluka had indeed received an education from Miss Moon, she would have even thought that it was some kind of ability or magic.
In fact, you can't blame these two guards for being stupid, the post-cataclysmic world itself is extremely cruel, and the monsters that are everywhere in the wilderness are not counted, because the dark clouds cover the sun, causing the temperature to be extremely low. In this case, the average person would like to wear a little more, a little more.
Think about it, no matter how beautiful a woman is, when she has been malnourished for a long time, has no intention of putting on makeup and taking care of her hair, and then wears bulging clothes that are full of shabby and sour smell, what charm does she have?
That is to say, the harsh living environment in the last days has lowered the aesthetics of most people, resulting in them basically being women can ......... Oh......... It's not limited to women anymore. According to what Feren got from Miss Moon, Vegas actually opened a female beast section according to his own suggestion, and business turned out to be extremely hot, except for a few accidents where the mare kicked to death due to fright, everything went well. What makes Miss Yue even more incomprehensible is that many people are actually more interested in these beasts than people, and even many people have come to Vegas specifically for this newly opened special business!
In this regard, Fei Lun calmly said that he was just working hard for the benefit of the majority of male compatriots in the last days, and said that he was ashamed that he had only made a small contribution...............
It is conceivable that the men of the last days who live under this aesthetic are as shocked as they are when they see beings like Eluka, Delin, and Franke, as if they were to see a goddess descend and a god appear. Needless to say, Ailuka's costumes are all high-end goods from the Fuyuan Society. It is not only fireproof, waterproof and bulletproof, but also warm and windproof, which can completely solve the problem of "won't it be cold when wearing a miniskirt in winter" among the top ten questions of the majority of otaku.
As for Delin and Franke, the demon's clothes are made from energy, so they don't have to worry about it at all.
"Two ........."
Compared to the two guards, the boy was better, which was also due to his young age and no experience in this area. It's just that even he didn't dare to look at the three girls who followed Fei Lun's side, even if it was the silver-haired girl who Franke had changed, he just took the opportunity to sneak a few glances, and then immediately turned his head with a flushed face and didn't dare to look more--As the saying goes, he has to eat and drink enough to think, he is still hungry at this time.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Hearing the young man's call, the two idiot-like guards came back to their senses, they coughed a few times embarrassedly, nodded at Faren and the others with an embarrassed smile, and then looked at the young man in front of them again.
"Who are they? What are you doing here? ”
"That's right, they want to talk to adults about buying and selling food.........
"What!?" (To be continued.) )
