Section 162 Red Clay
As night fell, the convoy stopped. Workers and drivers squatted together in twos and threes, smoking and chatting. The cook set up the cauldron, lit the kerosene stove, and began to cook the rice, while the few mercenaries made routine rounds outside the camp to rule out possible dangers.
This is the southwestern end of the Northern Wilds, between Dragonstone and Raven. Due to its proximity to the Ambergris River Basin, the vegetation is relatively dense, but due to geological problems, it is still impossible to grow crops.
As one of the mercenaries, Chen Xing wandered around the periphery of the camp. There is a dirt mountain bag on the north side, which is considered a safety hazard. If the attacker is there, he will definitely snipe there condescendingly. However, there are not many plants on the dirt mountain, and the concealment effect is very poor. Chen Xing took out his scope and took aim, kept a few possible shooting positions in mind, and returned to the camp.
"Just a meal, just a meal"
Bypassing a truck, I heard the chef shouting in a southern dialect for everyone to eat. This chef was born five big and three thick, the hair on his hands is black and coarse, it is said that he is from Qingguo, his father offended a small nobleman, and fled to Hongguo with his family, and it was thirty years in a flash.
The Red Earth Continent is known as "one continent, two rivers, three kingdoms, four wilderness and five mountains".
Yizhou refers to the "Dafang Continent" in the south of the Red Clay Continent, the Gobi terrain, vast and boundless, and is the largest plain in the entire Red Clay Continent.
The two rivers refer to the two major rivers of the laterite continent, the "Ambergris River" and the "Fallen Star River", the Fallen Star River originates from the Ruijials Mountains, flows from south to northwest, and goes to the sea in the western part of the mainland, which is the mother river of the Qingguo.
The Three Kingdoms refer to the three ancient kingdoms of the Red Continent, the United Kingdom of the Ambergris River, known as the Red Kingdom, the Sacred Mountain Empire of Ruijiars, and the United Kingdom of the Gratamu Tribes, known as the Yellow Kingdom and the Sand Kingdom.
The Four Wilds refer to the four wildernesses, which are the Northern Wilderness, the Western Wilderness, the Eastern Wilderness, and the Central Wilderness. The northern wilderness is within the territory of the Red Kingdom, the western wilderness is divided into the Green and Red Kingdoms, the eastern wilderness is divided into the Red and Yellow Kingdoms, and the central wilderness is divided into several independent small kingdoms.
The five mountains are the five major mountain ranges, the Nolan Snow Mountain in the northeast, the Dragon Mountains in the northwest, the Ruikals Mountains in the southwest, the Red Rock Volcano in the middle, and the Grasse Hills in the southeast.
Dinner is potato beef and cabbage chowder noodles, sprinkled with some pepper, the taste is not bad, but compared to when at the water station, there is still a big gap. After all, he is the boss over there, and the kitchen is all small stoves, and occasionally he can cook by himself to get some hometown flavor.
After dinner, Chen Xing washed the food box with the rationed water, threw the duffel bag into the tent, took out the portable screen, and leaned on the bag.
His duffel bag was untouchable, containing items hidden from the Underground Shelter 65, including two golden guns, a pocket watch, three bronze major medallions, and a ruby.
If the price is right, there will be at least six or seven thousand gold coins. With this money, he will be able to advance to the elite level.
Becoming an elite level is equivalent to the first step into the ranks of the strong, no matter where you go in the future, at least you are a team leader, and you don't need to start from the bottom. It's just that Chen Xing is particularly hard, and by now, the value of the injected medicine has exceeded 10,000 gold coins.
The employment fee of the elite level is a monthly salary of 50~100 gold coins, and in terms of Chen Xing's investment, it is almost a loss of money. If ordinary people want to reach the elite level, as long as the talent is not too bad, two thousand gold coins is about the same. Aaron, for example, doesn't need a lot of money to go up.
But then again, Chen Xing's combat ability has far surpassed that of ordinary elites, and a trio alone can destroy most people, and it is normal to spend a little more money.
Between thoughts, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, Chen Xing frowned slightly, but there was no further movement, and he still maintained a half-lying posture of reading.
"Hi, R Qin, hello."
The curtain of the tent was impolitely lifted, and a swarthy face appeared before him, grinning and revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
For this kind of self-cooked performance, Chen Xing was very unimpressed, just stared at the other party's somewhat bulging eyes, and didn't say a word.
It was a black man, named "Cassie", one of several mercenaries in the same group, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a torn hard-wearing cloth uniform, with very solid dark muscles, and at first glance he was a good hand in close combat.
The red earth continent is somewhat similar to the human race on the earth, and there are also yellow people, white people, and black people, and the racial characteristics are also very similar, but they are more prominent.
The yellow race is flexible and agile and tends to be agile, the white race has a lot of manpower and a tendency to strength, and the black race has good stamina and has excellent strength and agility, but has poor psionic perception.
In addition, there are two different races from the Earth in the Red Earth, namely the "Sandmen" and the "Blue-Bloods".
The Sha people are distributed in Dafangzhou, usually nomadic for a living, with a skin color between yellow and black, showing a bronze color, and are the main human race in the Yellow country.
Compared with other races, the sand people do not have the four abilities that are very prominent, but they are particularly drought and heat tolerant. Ordinary people will have problems as long as they don't drink water for three days, but Shamin can go without drinking a drop of water for more than ten days and still be able to maintain their vitality.
Scholars have found that the sand folk's cells have an extra "water bladder" that stores additional water, and its function is the same as that of a camel's hump.
Dafang Zhou is vast, but the land is generally barren and arid, and there is a lack of minerals. Therefore, the national strength of the Huang Kingdom was the worst of the three ancient kingdoms. But thousands of years have passed, and the sandfolk still rule the land, relying on this.
In the Middle Ages, the Red Kingdom was once strong, and once waved millions of troops to attack the Yellow Kingdom. Tall horses, strong armor and sharp swords, unstoppable.
In the face of the million-strong army that invaded his homeland, Huang Guo did not resist, hid in the depths of the desert, and let it drive straight in.
It was only when the Red Army's troops had penetrated to a certain extent that the Yellow State's troops began to counterattack. They also did not resist hard, and adopted roundabout tactics, constantly harassing and ambushing, lengthening the battle line, and dividing the troops. As a result, the million-strong army of the Red Kingdom was dragged in the desert for several months, unable to advance and retreat, and finally died of thirst.
Since then, the Yellow State has become a hard bone in the eyes of other countries, and it is useless except that its territory is large enough. Even if the land is snatched back, it will not be used, and only the sand people will be suitable there.
And the other race, the blue-blooded people, as the name suggests, is the blue-blooded race, mainly distributed in the Rigals mountains, and is the main race of the Qingguo.
Compared to the other four types of people, the blue-blooded people have weaker physical fitness, but they have extremely strong psionic perception and are born spirits. Therefore, the number of super powerhouses in the Qingguo is also the largest among the three ancient kingdoms.
"Come out and have some fun, you're going crazy to be alone."
Cassie shook the playing cards in his hand at Chen Xing, and his eyes swept over the package behind Chen Xing intentionally or unintentionally.
"Next time." Chen Xing said coldly.
Mercenaries have long been nicknamed the "three major stabbing professions", and the other two are "assassins" and "executioners", which can be seen. So it's okay, and it's better to have less contact with you.
"R Qin," Cassie said with some unhappiness in a continental lingua franca that he was not fluent in, "You are too faceless like this. ”
