Being able to open your arms and let the other party find out how many deadly weapons you are carrying represents the trust and friendship of the people in the nest city.

Many transactions, negotiations, and calculations can also be done in secret through the "sign language" hidden under the cloak.

Sure enough, the two held hands for a while, laughed at the same time, lifted their cloaks, and hugged each other warmly.

"Old fish, you're not dead yet!" The connector used a hand strong enough to slap the tiger and leopard to death, and slapped Zhou Chong's shoulder fiercely.

"Tengu, I'm not dead when you're dead!" Zhou Chong returned with a bear hug that was enough to crush the vertebrae.

It's an old friend.

For hunters, Nest City has a very special significance.

In Dragon City, the most popular transcendent class is the Hunter.

Join an extraordinary team or go it alone, go deep into the wilderness, dance on the blade, without any restrictions, all with fists, swords, blood and brains, as long as you have the ability and a little luck, you can become famous overnight, how free, how refreshing!

In order to manage a large number of free and loose hunters, the Transcendent Tower established the "Hunter Association", which is responsible for training, assessment, and distribution of hunting areas and tasks, and of course, it can also coordinate the contradictions between different transcendent warbands, and can also organize several to hundreds of different transcendent warbands in the event of large-scale battles or doomsday beasts, and put them into the battlefield at the same time.

However, the most important duty of the Hunter Society is to collect money.

"Although the transcendents are incomparably strong, without the firepower and logistical support provided by the Red Dragon Army, and without the support of tens of millions of Dragon City citizens, it is impossible to survive and fight in the depths of the fog on their own.

"Therefore, a large part of the hunter's harvest should be shared by all the citizens of Dragon City."

Based on this theory, every time a hunter kills a monster, he has to take out one-third to one-half of the harvest, and pay it in the name of "hunting tax, special resource collection tax, hunter association management fee, transcendent tower construction tax, red dragon army construction tax, special national debt", etc., etc., the higher the realm, the higher the tax rate, and the tax rate of the god realm powerhouse often exceeds 70%.

Recently, Longcheng has carried out the "comprehensive renovation of old communities" and the "nutritious three meals for all teenagers" plan, and the showdown has reached the extraordinary, especially the hunters who are fighting on the front line of the business.

On the other hand, many monsters, especially the relatively rare Hell Beasts and even Doomsday Beasts, the materials in their bodies are unique strategic materials, not that the hunters can sell them to whoever they want, but after being acquired by the Transcendent Tower, they will be used where they are most needed according to the needs and importance of various departments and projects.

This kind of monopoly buying and monopoly, many times, does not reach the market price, and cannot satisfy the hunters who lick the blood from the knife edge.

For the overall development of Dragon City, high taxes and fees and monopoly sales have their rationality and necessity.

Human civilization is an inseparable whole, and without the strong backing of the general public and the Red Dragon Army, it is indeed impossible to defeat the monster civilization by relying on hunters alone.

But for the hunter, risking his life, paying the price of being bruised all over his body, and even watching his comrades die tragically in the mouth of the monster, maybe there are still a lot of dark wounds left, and it is not easy to kill the monster, but to hand over more than half of the materials in vain, it is also human nature to feel psychologically unbalanced.

Over time, there will always be someone who wants to play the side ball.

Like the flesh and blood of the sword halberd demon pig and the ironclad rhinoceros, this kind of material is large in size, high in weight, but relatively cheap in value.

Hunters often do not report to the Hunters' Association when they encounter smaller, but priceless, rare materials such as the crystallized neurospheres of monsters, blood from the heart, eyeballs, spinal cords, and so on.

Instead, he secretly hid and took it to the black market in Nest City, secretly exchanging it for the resources he wanted.

Or exchange it for chips in the major monster gladiatorial arenas in the nest city, and gamble in the gladiatorial arena.

It doesn't matter how you win or lose, the point is to wash all the chips, and when the Transcendental Tower audits all the transcendents in the coming year, there will be no troubles about the unknown origin of the huge amount of wealth.

This gray industrial chain, which is connected by smuggling monster materials, is an important economic pillar of Chaocheng.

The Survival Council and the Transcendent Tower, how could they not know about this little trick of the Hunters.

However, if the water is clear, there are no fish, and if we crack down on smuggling and black market transactions, on the one hand, it will seriously dampen the enthusiasm of the hunters.

On the other hand, if the hunters don't come to the black market to trade, the eating, drinking, rolling and gambling in the nest city, and the thriving tertiary industry will all be finished.

You must know that the vast majority of the nearly one million people in Chaocheng rely on the tertiary industry to survive.

Countless citizens of Dragon City, who have been under great pressure by zombies and monsters, and are in a depressed mood, have to go to the nest city every once in a while to relieve their pressure, so that they can struggle to continue to survive in this cruel other world.

The destruction of hundreds of thousands of jobs and almost the only outlet for the citizens at the bottom is not beneficial to today's Dragon City.

Therefore, as long as the hunters and the gang members in the nest city don't go too far, the survival committee and the transcendent tower can only turn a blind eye.

In fact, the authorities chose to have veteran hunters form the first wave of arrests, also based on this consideration.

"Man-eating shark" Zhou Chong and them, who used to be frequent visitors to the black market in Chaocheng, have a deep relationship here, and many people in the gang call them brothers, and cooperate with each other and have a relatively tacit understanding.

"What's going on now?"

The two finally let go of each other, and Zhou Chong asked the connector named "Tengu".

"Yesterday, the 'Red Eyebrows' Su Lun of the Golden Tooth Gang brought the meaning of Jin Ye, saying that there were hundreds of outside thieves who ran into the Golden Tooth Nest City, and there were still people who secretly opened a forbidden drug factory here, and after these thieves ate the forbidden medicine, they all became crazy and powerful?"

Tengu said, "Whether it's the Golden Tooth Gang or our gangs, everyone hates thieves and bandits who don't follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, especially these guys who burn their brains with banned drugs.

"Everyone came out to mix, it's nothing more than to ask for money, to make money in harmony, these bastards are doing things in Golden Tooth Nest City, that is, they are going to smash everyone's jobs, even the sales channels of your hunters...... Right?

What's more, even Jin Ye, who had not shown up for a long time, spoke in person.

"Then all the gangs will naturally mobilize and carry out a comprehensive investigation of the entire Golden Tooth Nest City.

"That's what we think, the other party has committed hundreds of robberies outside in one go, robbing a large amount of cultivation resources, so naturally we have to go to the black market in Chao City to sell the stolen goods.

"If you don't sell the stolen goods, it will be directly used as a raw material to refine a new 'divine transformation capsule'.

"And refining a large number of Divine Transformation Capsules, naturally requires a large-scale workshop, factory, or at least a well-equipped laboratory.

"Judging from our experience in refining various types of genetic medicines, during the refining process, a large amount of waste gas, waste water, and a lot of spiritual energy will be consumed.

"So, we focused on hundreds of black markets, laboratories and private workshops in Chaocheng, large and small.

"In particular, in several areas where private alchemy workshops are more concentrated, we have collected groundwater samples there for analysis, and as a result, we found that the underground wastewater in three areas contains suspected ingredients of 'divine transformation capsules'."

There are a lot of mad scientists dormant in Nest City.

and a cultivation maniac who tries to break through the limits of life with genetic potions.

The alchemists here are more professional than the outside world thinks.

"Because you reminded us not to startle the snakes, we didn't dare to search in a big way, and we didn't dare to go too deep into these areas."

Tengu continued, "At present, we only know that these areas are all in the 'three regardless' areas at the junction of the spheres of influence of the major gangs, and there are many 'lone wolves' who do not belong to each gang, at most two or three people, they can set up a small underground laboratory or black workshop, and we are not sure which underground black workshop you are looking for." ”

"It doesn't matter, being able to narrow the search range so small has already saved us a lot of trouble, and then, it's up to us!"

"Man-eating shark" Zhou Chong said, "Everyone prepares, debugs the 'Neural Tactical Data Link System', looks at the surrounding environment, and locks on to two known targets." ”

Meng Chao, like the veteran hunters, rolled his eyes, scaled his pupils, and concentrated.

With the interaction of neural data, the walls of the surrounding warehouses seem to become transparent, and their eyes can pass through the walls unobstructed, and see the panoramic view outside.

Layers of illegal buildings, like building blocks built by naughty boys, grew wildly from all directions, swallowing up large swaths of the sky, leaving only vents smaller than patios.

The mottled façade of the building is covered with colorful graffiti, many of which are sprayed with fluorescent paint doped with the blood of monsters, exuding a strange charm in the dim light, like a monster about to leap out of the wall.

In order to attract business, almost all buildings are covered with neon signs and displays, or with extremely seductive brushstrokes, outlining a human body with a seductive spirit, or playing a scene of monsters rampage, smashing each other into the stomach, which is both bloody and exciting.

Many young men in cloaks, spring pulleys, and ghost masks flashed through the alleys and alleys at lightning speed, and no one knew whether under their cloaks were smuggled materials, blood-stained chips, deadly weapons, or crazy forbidden drugs.

Someone laughed at the entrance of the monster gladiatorial arena, threw small chips at the invisible sky, and slammed into the ground with a "clanging" sound.

Someone wept silently beside the garbage heap, and after draining the last tears, he clenched his fists and walked into the depths of darkness with a fierce look in his eyes.

Countless bizarre scenes, together exude a deformed, demonic, and irrepressible vitality.

This is Nest City.
