Chapter 884: An Abnormal City
You can see how chaotic it is here.
Most of the children and women captured were not from this area, so their families could not be found, and some of them were able to find only the bodies of those killed in the fighting. Those who can live to see their families are a group of lucky people.
Burning, killing and looting cannot be said to be very common here, but inadvertently, you may be able to see it. Here, the law is no longer so important, it is true to survive.
For this, the locals have no choice but to protect themselves. And because of the collapse of the law here, many businessmen have taken advantage of the opportunity to start a business that cannot be done elsewhere.
The human trafficking I see now is one, and it can be said that it is already blatant and unscrupulous. Because in some parts of Africa, people who are slaves still exist. Or is it...... Organ trafficking.
These are profiteering livelihoods, and once successful, the benefits are huge.
But from a human point of view, this is no longer something that people can do. Especially here to do this kind of thing blatantly, without bringing in artillery to bombard them, it is already considered "soft-hearted".
It is precisely because of this that Yang Hao and Mu Xi did not dare to touch the moldy heads of these people at this time, if they thought that they were in the same group with those people, they would definitely beat themselves into a hornet's nest.
"Rest on the spot, I don't think they will go back this night."
Yang Hao began to retreat as he spoke, leaving this place, choosing a relatively safe place that could avoid the sight of these people, and lay down.
The next morning, when the two of them got up, they saw that there was no one in front of them. After all, the nights here are quite cold. Hardly anyone wanted to spend the night in the wilderness, so after cleaning up the battlefield, they brought back everything they could take with them, even the bombed-out vehicles were towed away.
It's all iron, go back and smelt it, and you can make something else. Some of these steels are picked out. Reforging is also a raw material for crafting guns and cold weapons.
There is a lack of material here, and these things cannot be wasted.
After a night's delay here, the speed of the two men's march was also slightly affected, and the two had to start to speed up. At the end of the day, Yang Hao and Mu Xi finally saw their destination.
The town in front of it had an earthen wall blocking the outside, forming something like a wall, but it wasn't very high. It only served as an enclosure to indicate the size of the town.
On the outskirts of the city, there are also some buildings and streets, but they are scattered and irregular, and people walking here are cautious and fast to pass through here. Enter the wall.
And this small city is not small to say. It is next to a mountain. The other three sides are enclosed by earthen walls, but the length and width of the walls are several kilometers wide, and even a car from the side of the wall takes at least a few tens of minutes.
You can imagine how wide the entire earthen wall is, and how much area the city inside should be.
But manpower here is sorely lacking. When this wall was built, not many people know. And now there are wars everywhere here, and not many people are repairing the earthen walls, so you can see from the outside that there are many parts of the wall that are damaged. It was not so complete, and in some places there were even small pieces of it that had collapsed, and the locals simply removed the collapsed earth and used it as a door to enter and exit.
When Yang Hao and Mu Xi approached the city, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. But there are still a lot of people around. On the periphery of the wall, there are quite a few people who set up stalls in front of their homes.
Here, you can see a lot of items that look unusual from the outside. There are guns and bullets, all kinds of medicine and equipment, grocery stalls, gold teeth, gold rings, walkie-talkies and radios, night vision devices, some houses, hanging all kinds of bazookas, individual missiles, and some stalls with some white powder.
This is the drug, and next to it, there are the raw materials of various drugs, and other chemical components of the processed drug. There are also some stalls with photos on them.
The photos are full of artillery, mortars, and even large vehicles such as armored vehicles.
There is also a bit of a constant stream of people in the neighborhood, wandering around the stalls to choose the "goods" they need.
In this regard, although Yang Hao and Mu Xi were a little surprised, it was not that they had never seen it. In a more chaotic place, even more chaotic than here, this place, relatively speaking, is already relatively orderly.
Even at night, there are quite a few people coming in and out of the city. There is such a city in the vicinity, many people come here to resupply and rest before late at night, and some people take advantage of the night to leave the city to carry out their commissions.
That's right, there are a lot of dragons and snakes here, and it is also the best place for mercenary groups to do business. Settled here, business has hardly been interrupted. But it's also more dangerous here, even in the city, it's not absolutely safe, and it's basically all around your own enemies, and it's really not an accident when you hang up.
Yang Hao and Mu Xi were both fully armed, and they were completely the standard attire of a soldier. But in this place, such a costume is simply too common, so when the two of them enter the crowd, they actually blend into the crowd instead, which is not so conspicuous.
Of course, the two of them also felt the stares of the crowd staring at them. Obviously, his equipment has been noticed.
The two of them had no intention of causing trouble, so they walked quickly through this "commercial street" and entered the inside of the wall, which was regarded as really entering the city.
The first thing you do when you enter the city is to find a place to stay.
There are basically not many civilians in the interior of the city. It's a hodgepodge of chaos all around, and almost everyone you see on the street, at least some human blood, children and women on their hands, is the rarest in this place, because these two groups of people have almost no place to survive in this place.
Drug lords, arms dealers, guerrillas, militants, and even terrorists have become "civilians" here, in addition to some intelligence merchants, soldiers, and everywhere. In addition to these people, killers, thieves, liars and robbers have become the people who survive in the cracks of the city.
Even when you enter a restaurant, you can see the cashier behind the counter with a gun on his back.
For this kind of place, Yang Hao and Mu Xi both felt chills all over their bodies.
This is not a normal place, after walking two streets, I haven't seen any civilians who match my perception, and even when I pass through some alleys, I can hear the sound of fighting inside, fists and kicks. Screams and even gunshots are very normal.
The people around him are used to this, and when they hear the gunshots, they don't even look at them, and they do their own thing.
The two of them casually found a hotel to stay in, took off their helmets, threw their backpacks aside, and sat down on the sofa.
The qiē here is beyond my expectations. This is an abnormal city, and in my own perception, it is impossible to exist. But now that I'm in the middle of the city, I have to admit that it exists.
Will the dark night come here? If she was really in this place, what would she want to find here?
Yang Hao felt that he couldn't sit still, and before he could sit hot, he picked up his helmet again and walked out of the door.
"I'm going to look for information, you can rest here first."
The hotel where Yang Hao left again turned around on the street.
The surrounding area is bustling beyond imagination, but most of the things sold are not normal things, and some shops do not charge money at all, such as some selling guns and bullets, indicating that they need food in exchange. There are also some shop owners who collect drugs instead of money.
Bartering makes this place seem very primitive, even if it is dollars, it is not very useful here.
"Smack!"
Yang Hao suddenly reached out and grabbed his little hand that had been dirty.
This hand had already reached into his trouser pocket, but Yang Hao didn't feel anything, if it weren't for his intuition, the things in his pocket at this time would not have been his own.
A child behind him looked at Yang Hao in horror, Yang Hao looked at him indifferently, pinched his hand and pulled out his pocket, and then let go.
Then Yang Hao stopped looking at him and continued to walk towards the front of the street, and this child, as if he had escaped, quickly moved away from Yang Hao and disappeared into the crowd.
Yang Hao's goal is very clear, that is, he is looking for an intelligence house. And here, the intelligence house is open on the side of the road, open for business.
casually chose an intelligence house, and Yang Hao walked in.
The room was very deserted and not very big. A desk, two chairs, a computer, basically everything here.
Behind the computer, a woman who is about to fall asleep is sitting on a chair behind the computer with her legs on the table. Her clothes don't look like the locals, an army green short-sleeved shirt with jeans, but the length of the jeans only reaches the thigh, and she looks like hot pants. The clothes looked like they had been around for a while, but the military boots on their feet were new, and Yang Hao could see it at a glance.
This is the military boots of the US military.
When Yang Hao sat on the chair, the woman also opened her eyes, spoke fluent English, and asked Yang Hao, "Is there any information you are looking for?" In my place, as long as it is within a radius of 200 kilometers, I have all the information here. ”
At this, the woman smiled, raised three fingers, and rubbed them together: "But you have to have enough of this." (To be continued......)
