Chapter 10: The Seventh Block
After walking out of the station, a magnificent metropolis appeared in front of the white night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Hanhai City, one of the 23 central cities of mankind, has a permanent population of about 180 million.
Around the city, there is a spherical particle barrier that protects the entire city. The particle barrier controlled by the brain can distinguish between zombies and wild beasts, and all non-human creatures that can be distinguished will be excluded from the particle barrier.
Of course, there are also some powerful beasts that can break through the particle barrier and enter the central city, but they are often intercepted and killed by the heroes of Silver Watch on the periphery.
The central city is basically the only remaining human paradise in the world, and its security is built under the protection of the particle barrier, and the construction of the particle barrier requires energy, and the bigger the opening, the more energy is consumed.
Nearly 200 million people are crammed into one megacity, a veritable place where every inch of land is at a premium.
Therefore, in the central area of the city, the buildings are getting taller and taller, and buildings of about kilometers abound.
Because the more central the area, the safer it is, the more expensive the price of land, and the more extreme the use of land.
As for the prices here, they have also been pushed to an unbelievable level.
The current universal currency on the earth is called the Dawn Coin, which is the global currency issued after the formation of the world government, and its purchasing power is roughly equivalent to 10 US dollars at the beginning of its issuance.
Now, the housing prices in the central city are basically more than 200,000 yuan per square meter, and even if they are rented, the ordinary one-bedroom apartment on the edge of the central city will cost 9,000 yuan per month.
At such a price, it can be said that the vast majority of ordinary people in the central city cannot afford it, so they can only squeeze their families into low-rent housing, barely having a place to live.
Low-rent housing only provides a basic living environment, and does not consider lighting, house type, convenience and so on.
However, low-cost housing is not the worst living environment.
As mentioned earlier, the particle barrier is a spherical shape, so people are also doing everything to dig underground, using the ground as the benchmark, the surface world and the underground world are almost in a mirror state, and the entire underground city accommodates about half of the residents of the above-ground city.
Most of them are paupers, hooligans, robbers, thieves, mercenaries, etc., and there is no law or order at all.
In all urban districts of the central city, there are underground passages that can go straight underground, but around these passages, there are also many fierce-eyed and unidentified people wandering, and most of the ordinary residents of the surface urban areas are avoided.
"Stop, toll."
A strong man with a scar on his face stopped Bai Ye at the entrance to the underground passage.
Bai Ye smiled: "Tolls? ”
"100 bucks." The scarred man grimaced and stretched out his hand to the white night.
Bai Ye seemed to have heard something very funny, and smiled: "Why don't you go and grab it?" ”
The strong man with the scar showed a fierce face: "Are you sick in the brain, Lao Tzu is robbing!" ”
The left hand of the strong man with the scar directly wanted to pull the collar of the white night.
The smile on Bai Ye's face disappeared instantly, and his right hand stretched out like lightning, grabbing the wrist of the strong man with the scar, and twisted it slightly.
"Click!"
There was a crisp bone cracking sound on the strong man's hand, and Bai Ye's seemingly understated twist directly caused his entire left arm to be broken instantly!
"Ahhh......h
The strong man let out a howl like a pig, fell to the ground like a dead dog, and rolled around with his broken arm.
Several people behind the strong man all gathered around, but Bai Ye's eyes swept over, and these people all hesitated.
The guy in charge wanted to step forward, but a little brother behind him gently pulled his cuffs and retreated.
Bai Ye squatted down, looked at the strong man with scars rolling on the ground, and stretched out his right hand: "You said it yourself, 100 yuan." ”
The strong man with the scar was almost about to cry, he groped in his arms with his right hand for a while, and suddenly grabbed a handful of banknotes and stuffed them all into Bai Ye's hand.
Bai Ye picked out the cleanest hundred-yuan bill among the stack of banknotes, and then stuffed all the rest of the money back into the strong man's pocket, and patted him on the shoulder by the way: "Next time you do it, first figure out who your opponent is." ”
Bai Ye stood up and looked at the few people behind the strong man.
"Borrowed."
Several people looked at each other, but they still separated one way and let Bai Ye go.
It wasn't until the white night disappeared into the depths of the underground passage that several people reacted and helped the scarred strong man on the ground up.
"Boss, do you really not know who he is?" The thug who pulled the corner of the leader's coat just now said.
"Who is he?"
The thug looked at the depths of the underground passage, and said with palpitations: "He will come to purchase a batch of ingredients almost every two weeks, last time Mo Lao Wu provoked him underground, he was directly broken two legs, and now he is still lying in the hospital!" ”
The leader of the gangsters exclaimed: "Isn't Mo Lao Wu an Awakened One?!" ”
The thug nodded and said, "So, is this kind of person also something we can afford to provoke?" ”
The leader of the gangsters also breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't make a move......
……
The seventh block, the largest block in the entire dungeon.
Ordnance, genetic potions, slaves, and even baby beasts...... Here, you can buy almost anything you want.
Of course, there's a gray area here, and most of the transactions are illegal.
It's just that the government and the Silver Watch are powerless to maintain law and order in the huge underground neighborhood, so they can only turn a blind eye, so this is a real mix of fish and dragons.
Inside a nondescript tavern.
Bai Ye ordered a glass of wine at the bar and threw a hundred-dollar bill on the table.
"Want to ask something?" The bartender asked nonchalantly wiping his glass.
"How to meet Lin Bingzhu, the chairman of the Hunter Alliance."
The bartender put the polished cup away and said, "Do you want to listen a little faster, or a little slower?" ”
"Something low-key, but not too slow."
The bartender nodded and smiled: "Three days later, the twenty-three central cities will conduct a hunter assessment for about a month." If you succeed, you will have the opportunity to meet the chairman of the board of directors when the badge is awarded. ”
Bai Ye nodded, he had already learned about this information on the Internet.
"So, what about a faster way?"
The bartender was silent for a moment and said, "If you can come up with enough money, I can help you get the address of the Hunter Alliance headquarters." You can go straight through the entrance to the chairman's office. ”
“…… Forget it, let's give me the details of the hunter assessment. ”
The bartender smiled and pulled out a small silver storage from the safe behind him.
"There is some basic information about the hunter's assessment, five hundred yuan."
White Night took out five bills from his wallet and placed them on the bar.
After the bartender counted the money, he handed the storage to Bai Ye.
"More than 20 copies of this information have already been sold, so don't expect it too much, because your competitors will probably already have access to it."
"Moreover, the registration period for the hunter assessment has passed, and if you want to participate now, you have to find a way to get an invitation."
"By the way, a friendly message for you, don't stay in the Seventh Block for too long tonight."
"Otherwise, you might die."
