No matter how prosperous the inner city is, or the air outside the city, Tang Ling feels more free.

The man who was sitting and drinking in the rough tavern and making a loud noise would shout exaggeratedly when he saw Tang Ling: "Look, that wonder boy." ”

The enthusiastic girl on the street would stare directly at Tang Ling with hot eyes, and said unusually bluntly: "Hey, wonder boy, did anyone say that your uniform is cool?" ”

There is also an aunt selling fragrant root barbecue on the street who will greet Tang Ling: "Wonder boy, come and eat my barbecue, my craftsmanship is not covered, and my girl's craftsmanship is also good." Do you want to marry home and eat delicious barbecue every day? ”

Their admiration and eagerness for Tang Ling were unabashed, this amazing boy from the outer city who was admitted to the first reserve camp.

Oh, by the way, he also has an uncle named the madman Su Yao, who is a powerful character, but he also loves to wander around the city.

Both of their uncles and nephews are the pride of the outer city.

Tang Ling will definitely not refuse the cheap and delicious fragrant root barbecue, although it is just the most ordinary beast meat, but with the fragrant root from Manglin, the kind of spices that are a little spicy and have some sweetness, sprinkle a handful of salt, and finally add the barbecue aunt's god-like craftsmanship, is there any better barbecue than this?

Tang Ling spent five credits to buy a large piece of barbecued meat, and then mixed it with a material called shallots used by Uncle Pancakes, stirred in the yellow millet paste, and the fried flatbread was very enjoyable.

It was so blissful that when the gravy of the barbecue seeped into the pancakes, a bite of the meat with the pancakes was bitten down.

Tang Ling had a gentle smile on his face, and tried his best to respond with an affectionate look at everyone.

He liked the atmosphere of the outer city, and he obviously liked it more than most of the reserved people in the inner city, who would always make a look of nobility created by people who had seen the world, were shocked, and polite.

Tang Ling felt that he should belong to the outer city.

Very direct, very rough, undisguised emotions are boiling here at any time, and what will never be extinguished between sunrise and sunset is that trace of the market.

It doesn't need to be gorgeous, it's as crude as a barbecue pancake in your hand, which always brings a sense of satisfaction and just the right amount of taste.

He dreamed that he and his mother-in-law and sister should live happily here, in spite of all the hardships, though they didn't feel friendly at first.

But when you integrate, it's very kind.

As long as you can go back every night and light the fireplace, light the fireplace, and have a dinner with your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, the misery will immediately become fulfilling.

Tang Ling's heart was dull and painful, but the smile on his face did not decrease, and even the speed of eating bread did not slow down.

After thinking about it, he spent some more credits, bought some food on the street, carried it in his hand, and walked towards a remote alley.

There, Su Yao said it was their temporary home.

He also said that as long as he doesn't go out, most of the time he will be at home.

Tang Ling was not worried that he would be in the air, because Su Yao had only been out for a month for the sake of his dream, and he should not be traveling far for the time being, and his words did not reveal the intention of traveling far again.

But Su Yao was obviously a liar, when Tang Ling opened the door and entered the house, there was no one in the house at all, the cold fireplace, not even the ashes, and the rough furniture had a layer of dust, indicating that he basically would not come here.

"Liar." Tang Ling tilted his head and muttered, but he was not in a hurry, turned around and walked briskly in the other direction.

He would be the last person to cultivate anyway, holding the communicator that he had 'faked' from Yangkong, and he was not afraid of delaying time.

Su Yao wasn't going anywhere, he must be there.

'Luxury hostel'.

It's not luxurious at all, and it's not unlike the black rock houses around it.

Of course, perhaps it is the owner's strange aesthetic, which is decorated with red and green leaves as much as possible, but it looks even more like a pre-civilized circus.

Tang Ling looked at this place but sighed with emotion, this place was his first stop when he entered the No. 17 security zone, by the window of a certain room here, he stood weakly for eight hours, just to see the entire safety zone in his heart, and then tell his mother-in-law and sister, what is the place he longs for?

How sad and sad should it be then? And now, the sadness has not diminished a bit, but the sadness has been shared by some familiar people around him.

But even so, there will still be some confusion in the future, such as when revenge is over, what is the direction of his life?

In fact, the support that Tang Ling lost has not been filled, and hatred will not be the support of life.

On weekdays, Tang Ling, who was a scoundrel, rarely sighed, and was quickly interrupted by Aunt Luo Na's shy laughter and Su Yao's rough laughter that seemed a little shameless.

"Sure enough, it's right here." Tang Ling thought disdainfully, but still rushed into the luxury hotel with excitement.

It's an acquaintance, that wonder boy, and the madman Su Yao will also become his own person.

The owner of the luxury inn didn't stop Tang Ling at all, but just let him rush into the inn.

Aunt Rona's room was at the end of the first floor of the inn, and she would stay in the room instead of the kitchen in the evenings when it wasn't too busy.

Besides, Su Yao and her laughter already explained their position.

"Aunt Rhona." Tang Ling ran directly to the end of the first floor of the hotel, and for some reason he missed this kind woman who stuffed him two hot eggs before the exam and would cook for him.

The wooden door of the room was not strong, and Tang Ling directly crashed into it.

Then, before he could see anything, he heard Aunt Lorna scream, and then he saw Aunt Lorna and Su Yao both lying on the bed.

Aunt Lorna screamed and shrunk into Su Yao's arms.

And Su Yao was shameless, he didn't even cover the quilt, exposing his burly back and most of his buttocks, blocking Aunt Rona.

He looked extremely angry at this time, twisted his head and shouted at Tang Ling, "Stinky boy, do you want me to kick you out?" ”

Tang Ling's face was so red that he could already heat a pot of boiling water, he felt his whole body stiff, and he was about to step out subconsciously.

Man? Woman? And then.... Not dressed together?

Don't doubt Tang Ling's innocence, the only time a 15-year-old boy had a heartbeat, the thin memory left behind was just the feeling of being gently touched by his lips on his forehead.

But that turned into a tragedy in the dream, even if it wasn't true, it also closed Tang Ling's little budding between men and women.

From then on, he just devoted himself to cultivation, sketching traces of conspiracy in the intricate chaos, looking forward to finding a space where he could survive cautiously in the middle.

He's always injured and he's recovering, and he's exhausted trying to fill his stomach.

Maybe because of this, the physiological throbbing that belongs to youth has been directly ignored in the past, maybe there is? Who knows if there is? Anyway, Tang Ling didn't know.

This scene simply had a strong impact on Tang Ling, as if something was clear in his heart, but it was not too clear.

Tang Ling stood at the door, a little at a loss, but he made up his mind in his heart, otherwise he would talk to that guy from Auston about some things about these?

Andy, that guy probably won't be able to do it, because his hobby is to discuss pre-civilization literature and art with girls.

Yu is estimated to be inferior to himself, can he still distinguish the difference between a man and a woman?

Vivian and Christina? No, Tang Ling felt very terrible inexplicably when he thought about it, and he would be beaten to death?

Tang Ling was thinking about these messy things in his mind, and after a burst of 'Xi Xi Suosuo' sound in the room, Su Yao's dull voice finally came, with a very big displeasure: "Get in." ”

Tang Ling walked into the room and felt a little embarrassed to face Aunt Luo Na.

Aunt Luo Na, who had already been dressed, seemed to have found something funny, and when she passed by Tang Ling's side, she couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pinch Tang Ling's red and hot face, looked at the depressed Su Yao and said: "Su, it seems that you didn't teach us Tang Ling well, about some men, looking at his appearance will be ridiculed by girls." ”

What are you laughing at me? Tang Ling is unhappy! Don't you dare to strip naked and kiss around, so you won't be ridiculed?

Lorna didn't say much more, in this era, there was a huge regression in some things compared to the previous civilization.

When survival is not easy, reproduction becomes particularly important, and a 15-year-old girl is ready to marry. Of course, this situation is rare, but at the age of 17, it is the absolute marriageable age.

Therefore, regarding certain things, there are too many precocious people, and Tang Ling's innocence is not rare.

"I'm going to get you something to eat, do you want wine? Sue? Aunt Rona had tenderness at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

"Of course. It is better to have a warm wine at night. Su Yao replied casually, pulled out the stool and sat down, motioning for Tang Ling to sit down as well.

**

Of course, Su Yao and Tang Ling would not discuss any men's affairs.

As Tang Ling's elder, Su Yao, who is not delicate, can't open this mouthful, it will always come naturally.

"What's the big deal? Throw him somewhere again? Su Yao's thoughts are so direct.

So, now the topic they're talking about is credits.

Su Yao stiffened his neck, his muscles were thick, and he slapped the table and shouted directly: "You kid is really open, you want Lao Tzu 100,000 credits?" ”

"It's borrowed." Tang Ling corrected Su Yao's words with righteous words.

"What do you take? Don't say anything to Lao Tzu about part-time jobs, as long as you dare to say it again, I will beat you and you won't be able to climb out of this hotel. Su Yao took out a cigarette and lit it.

After thinking about it, he threw another one in Tang Ling's face.

Tang Ling lit a cigarette and said directly: "I won't say that kind of thing." It's just Uncle Su Yao, can't you invest in a future Purple Moon Warrior? ”

"Get out! Lao Tzu has seen more Purple Moon warriors than Husky boars! Who is bad to invest in, I want to invest in you guy? Besides, with your rice bucket-like appetite, am I investing less? Su Yao glanced at Tang Ling with disdain.

"This is the beginning of the return, I will buy you and Aunt Rona food." Tang Ling put the fragrant root barbecue and pancakes in his hand on the table.

"I can afford it myself." Su Yao flipped it casually, looking disdainful, but in fact, he had already picked up a piece of cake, sandwiched the barbecue, opened his mouth and swallowed it in a big mouthful.

"You... It's better to speak human words and try to convince me. Otherwise, if I ask you to borrow 100,000 credits, I will have a hundred reasons to beat you. Su Yao said indistinctly while chewing the food in his mouth.

Tang Ling didn't speak, and directly unbuttoned his uniform.

"What are you doing?" Su Yao's eyelids jumped, could it be that this is enlightening? The question is what clothes to untie yourself?

But where did Tang Ling mean this, the uniform was taken off, and the shirt inside was untied, which was a shocking wound.

Although the wound had begun to recover, after all, Tang Ling's recovery ability was amazing, but many of the wounds were still bloody and blurry.

Su Yao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and stood up a little excitedly: "You kid, have you fallen asleep?" Passed? ”

"If I don't pass, how can I stand in front of you properly?" Tang Ling asked rhetorically, and then said, "It's passed, it's very good." But it wasn't easy, but fortunately, I still had the qualifications to continue dreaming. ”

"Great." Su Yao was very excited, and couldn't help but slap Tang Ling on the back.

Tang Ling grinned a little in pain, but don't expect to be comforted by Su Yao's side.

Therefore, he said very directly: "So, I lack resources." Originally, I had enough resources to cope with a period of time. Five catties of second-class beast meat, but most of it was consumed in a dream. ”

"Moreover, after I fell into my dream, I began to enter the formal cultivation. It just so happened that I got one thing in the mystery shop, and that was it. Tang Ling said, and took out the precious copy of "Thousand Satin Gong. Addendum.

He didn't have anything to hide from Su Yao, if Su Yao also needed this "Addendum", Tang Ling would not hesitate to share it with Su Yao.

Su Yao's expression looked calm, but the slightly trembling muscles at the corners of his mouth indicated that he was hiding some kind of emotion.

He picked up the "Addendum" on the table, only looked at it slightly, and asked with some uncertainty, "You got this?" ”

"And that's not all. I—" Tang Ling wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Su Yao waving his hand.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Su Yao looked at the night outside the window, and was silent for a long time before speaking: "Okay, I know, you need resources." But relying on someone else's credit for a long time is not the best way. ”

"I thought I'd do it myself, but I didn't want to slow down. If I cultivate according to this "Addendum", coupled with the consumption of dreams, my resources will definitely be broken, and even if I take the risk of hunting, I will not be able to keep up. Tang Ling said very directly.

"I see." Su Yao didn't say anything, but stood up, put on his coat directly, and told Tang Ling to also put on his uniform and go out with him.

There is no way, the seedlings that have just grown in the early stage are the most fragile, but they need the most.

Just like human babies, they need the most abundant nutrients to promote growth at an early age.

Himself, must take care of Tang Ling at all costs, he is not a lucky and happy boy, he is actually.... You shouldn't have to suffer like this.

Tang Ling followed in Su Yao's footsteps.

The two met Aunt Rona in the hallway with hot soup, and she asked in surprise, "You guys aren't eating?" ”

"I'll run errands first, and I'll come back later." Su Yao explained simply.

In the night, Su Yao walked quickly with Tang Ling, and after walking for about ten minutes, they came to the tavern they had come to before.

The business of the tavern was still bleak, but the strange boss still didn't care, Su Yao took Tang Ling and walked straight forward, and said, "Open a secret passage, I'm going to take him to the black market?" ”

"Now?" The boss didn't say much, just asked briefly.

"Well, now." Su Yao said very directly.

This made Tang Ling a little surprised, and he said, "Uncle Su Yao, you really know about the black market. ”

"You know, too?" This time it was replaced by Su Yao's slightly shocked appearance.

"I know." Of course, Tang Ling would tell Su Yao about his experience, in fact, he said a lot last time, but because of the limited time, some less important details were ignored.

And black market transactions are not so important in Tang Ling's view.

Su Yao's face immediately became a little heavy, but it was obvious that he didn't want to ask too much at this time, and at this time, the bar owner brought two black hooded cloaks and two wooden masks.

Su Yao took Tang Ling to put on these, and walked straight to the back hall of the bar with Tang Ling, where the boss had opened a hidden wooden door from the wooden wall, revealing a swarthy passage inside.

Su Yao silently led Tang Ling into the passage, and after walking dozens of meters in the dark, he saw a dim oil light.

It is here that the passage is no longer a one-way street, but a complex of intertwined passages.

Tang Ling remembered the map given to him by Tony, a trader in the black market, which contained 12 secret entrances to the black market, but it did not include the one that Su Yao took him into.

So how many entrances are there to the black market? Could it be that the entire Security Zone 17 is filled with dense holes? Then it's no surprise that this intricate underground passage is intertwined.

But what does this show about the power of the black market? Is it really just as simple as the high-level control of Security Zone 17?

"Boy, now tell me the best details about your contact with the black market." Su Yao lowered his voice, but his tone did not mean to be half-joking.

Tang Ling knew that Su Yao must have some very serious question when he asked like this.

He didn't dare to hide it, and told Su Yao the whole process of contact with Tony, including several transactions, what was traded, including the transactions that Yu participated in later.

Su Yao was silent all the way and didn't speak, until Tang Ling finished saying this, he didn't speak, but was thinking.

"Uncle Su Yao, did I leave a very serious consequence?" Tang Ling was very smart, he thought of something, but he wasn't sure.

"Tang Ling, do you know how big this world is?" Su Yao did not directly answer Tang Ling's question, but instead asked Tang Ling a completely nonsensical word.

"I don't know." Of course, Tang Ling didn't know that he had never stepped out of the scope of the No. 17 security zone.

"So, now I'm going to tell you an answer. The world is big, bigger than the previous civilizations. Su Yao's tone was very deep.

However, Tang Ling was a little confused, what does it mean to be bigger than the previous civilization? How should this sentence be understood?

But Su Yao didn't mean to explain, but said directly: "If it is big enough, after more than a hundred years, the human race has taken a breath of relief and regained some vitality, which means that the number of people has increased. Coupled with the fact that the world is in chaos, there is no unity. What answer will you come up with? ”

"It's going to be chaotic, I mean it's complicated." Tang Ling immediately grasped the main point.

Su Yao's big hand tightly grasped Tang Ling's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "That's what it means." And the most chaotic is the black market, the black market is a place where all parties intervene, and in addition to selling materials, it also sells news, do you understand? It's even the biggest news seller! ”

"Well, wouldn't I have left a big hole." Tang Ling suddenly confirmed his guess.

His deal with Tony, in case Tony is said out, a little analysis will definitely expose his strength.

Although, Tang Ling used Yu to make a cover-up.

"Now, it's not serious. Show me the badge Tony gave you, if you have it with you. Su Yao asked Tang Ling directly.

Tang Ling likes to put all the important things in his backpack, and after rummaging through it, the badge in the backpack is still there.

Su Yao took the badge and examined it carefully, and then told Tang Ling: "It's not serious, and this badge didn't do anything secretly." Because you're dealing with traders at the bottom of the black market, and you're doing a reasonable disguise... It's just that the third-level mutant insect is always a small loophole... However, with the third-level fierce beast meat, I will also make up for it with another layer. ”

"Of course, all this if you don't get special attention. By the way, is that Yu reliable? ”

"Very reliable." Tang Ling didn't describe too much, but gave a direct answer.

"It's right to trust your partner. Even if you will experience pain, there is always a partner you can trust. Su Yao surprisingly didn't have too many doubts about Tang Ling's insistence.

"Uncle Su Yao, is there still a level in the black market? Even in this 17th safe zone? Tang Ling had doubts in his heart, maybe figuring out this problem would help him in the future.

"Grading, of course! The existence of the black market is absolutely impossible to stop with the small Security Zone 17. The only thing they can do is get a piece of the pie, but even so, the black market controlled by the top brass of Security Zone 17 is also the lowest black market. Su Yao explained simply.

"What about the high-end black market?" Tang Ling was looking forward to it.

"High-end? Hehe, high-end black market, you can even connect with tech people. Su Yao tried to take it easy, but his frowning brow never stretched under the mask.

It's just that under the mask, Tang Ling can't see all this.
