Chapter 54: Landing on the Island
Chen Yi took out a pistol from the cabinet, put it on his waist, and instructed, "You will follow me for a while, don't get separated." ”
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Chen Yi and asked, "It's dangerous?" ”
"It's dangerous, Alebayo said that there are three forces on this island, they have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and if outsiders enter the island, they will be closely monitored."
"There are so many of us, don't they have taboos?"
"If our big ship doesn't go ashore, it's too risky. We're going to dock in small boats, and we're going to make five of us, including you and me. Chenyi drew another dagger and put it in his boot.
Zhang Xiaohu smiled: "You see that my injuries are not good yet, can you not go!" ”
"No, let's go!" Chen Yi smiled and pulled Zhang Xiaohu to the deck, at this time Alai Bayo and two other fully armed men were standing next to a fast boat, those two people had slightly dark skin, all had square faces, short beards, resolute faces, tall and muscular, they seemed to be brothers, and some sailors were preparing to lower the fast boat to the sea.
In the darkness, in the moonlight, you can see a huge island entrenched there, with many buildings and fires, and many large and small ships docked on the shore.
Alebayo looked at a few people and emphasized: "There is still more than a year to go until the Great Replacement, and during this time, the three families on the island are desperately seizing resources to prepare for the Great Replacement period. So when we get to the island, we try not to mess with the people on the island. I will say three things, and you must have remembered them. First, don't act on your own on the island, and listen to me in all your actions; Second, don't meddle in things, nothing on the island has anything to do with us; Third, if something really happens and you have to do it, don't kill anyone, although the three families on this island are fighting with each other, but once something happens to outsiders who hurt the lives of residents on the island, these three families will definitely take revenge collectively. ”
Chen Yi briefly introduced the two to Zhang Xiaohu.
One named "Tao Wei! A man named "Tao Wu!" It was a pair of brothers she adopted more than 30 years ago, who were particularly loyal to her and had very good skills, and the two of them were sent by her to build ships in the South China Sea ten years ago.
Zhang Xiaohu realized that he had already started preparations for this trip to the South China Sea ten years ago, and he had wondered how the people here could build such a big ship in just over a month. It turns out that the ship has been spent for so many years.
Na Tao Wei said: "Mr. Alebayo, please rest assured, Tao Wu and I will fully comply with your orders, as for this young man, she was brought by the Divine Woman, I think there is no problem." ”
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the three people in front of him, and felt strange in his heart, why did Chen Yi have to bring herself, it was enough for these three people to accompany her to the island, and she just had one more attendant when she went. But he didn't dare to say it, she was afraid of making Chen Yi unhappy again. Thinking of having these people to accompany him, he was just accompanying a few people on a trip, and he was really in danger, and he was relieved that someone else would come forward.
The five of them descended from the ladder next to the deck to the fast boat, Tao Wei and Tao Wu picked up an oar, and their thick arms began to slide the oar, and the fast boat quickly approached the island shrouded in darkness.
Before approaching the shore, the fast boat was spotted by two patrolling boats, two lights shone over, and someone shouted: "Who broke into our Dragon Island late at night?" ”
Alai. Standing in the bow of the boat, his whole body in the light of the light, Bayo shouted, "I am from the family of Alai, and these are my friends." ”
Someone on one of the ships echoed: "You are from the Alai family, do you have a token?" ”
I saw Alebayo take off his shirt and have a large number of weird tattoos on his back. The pattern looks like a monster with teeth and claws.
When the two ships saw the tattoo, they immediately put away their lights and turned away, and they seemed to recognize the mark.
"Mr. Alebayo, it seems that you can avoid a lot of trouble this time." Chen Yi praised.
"Lord Shenpo, the direction we entered the island is the responsibility of the Alai family, if it is the other two, I can't do it."
The boat soon landed on an open sandy beach, and a small village was not far away.
Alebayo and a few people walked around the village to the middle of the island, and on the way, they told everyone the information about the person they were looking for.
This time they were looking for an eighteen-year-old girl on the island, who was the only one in possession of the nautical chart to Tianzhu Mountain, who now lived in the city in the center of the island and was guarded by the three forces. This time, they were going to steal people out under strict guard.
When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he realized that this mission was still very dangerous, and if one link was not handled well, serious consequences might occur. But in this case, why does Chenyi insist on taking herself, not afraid of becoming a drag oil bottle?
They walked quickly through the woods of the island, and soon they saw a bay below, and in the clearing of the bay stood a huge city, with many high-rise buildings and crowded streets. It's a bit like a night market on Earth.
"In this city, most of the inhabitants belong to the three major forces, namely the Alai family in the north, he is the most powerful of the three families, and I am the son of this family; The Wu clan in the southeast is the most powerful of the three; and the westernmost Ruan family, this family is relatively special, they are implicated with other forces outside the island, so although the strength is weaker, those two families can't help him; Generally speaking, the three families are fighting in secret, and on the bright side, they are still working together to maintain the stability of this dragon island, and the city in front of us is a free port jointly created by the three families, and most of the shops in it belong to the three major forces, the blue signboard is the Alai family, the yellow signboard is the Wu clan, and the green sign is the Ruan family. We try to go to shops that don't have signs in the city, so we don't have to worry a lot. These stores are foreign, and they only need to pay part of the management fee to the three major forces, and the three guarantee that this store can operate in the city without other problems. ”
"Do you still need coins in the city?" Zhang Xiaohu asked, he found that Tao Wei and Tao Wu showed puzzled expressions when they heard the coin, it seemed that they had not been exposed to similar words before, and they did not understand the meaning of it. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohu has long discovered that in the double world, there is no meaningful currency at all, and there is no related trade system, and everyone lives a life of farming, fishing and hunting. Maybe the environment of this world is good, the population is scattered, and the pressure to survive is not very great. In this sea island, we can find that once resources are limited, human society will automatically give birth to a matching power politics and trade system.
Alebayo smiled: "It's not a coin, the city supports barter, anything of value can be exchanged in the city, I took some wine and grain seeds when I left, these things are extremely valuable here, enough for the cost of our hotel." ”
Without this concern, a few people quietly walked into Freeport, and found that the whole city looked lively and crowded, but in fact, many of them were walking around on the road. According to Alebayo, many of these people are idlers with no property and live by stealing from the city.
Zhang Xiaohu felt that these people were really pitiful, they were unlucky to come to this world, and they fell into this bad place, and even life became so difficult. Now it seems that Donglu Village and Nanmu Village are very happy, at least as long as they join the village, even if they get a stable life, and they don't need to have so much pressure, so it seems that this world is also quite good, as long as they don't fall on the sea. But he just thinks that this kind of paradise life is not suitable for him now.
Alaibayo expelled two more men who tried to approach them, and suddenly seven or eight strong men appeared in front of them, all with hideous faces and fierce faces.
One person sneered: "People from the Alai family, have you crossed the line?" ”
Alaibayo whispered to everyone: "Everyone be careful, these people are the thugs of the Wu clan, look at my expression for a while, get out as soon as possible." He smiled and said to the people: "Several, how did I not know that this free port has also begun to have geographical restrictions. ”
The leader said disdainfully: "I didn't have it before, but I started to have it today, give it to me!" Several people behind him rushed fiercely.
