Chapter 262 262.Chiyang City-State, Golden Barley (3)

A few hours later.

The crowd finally crossed the dangerous rainforest.

This rainforest, which is full of layers of danger and hides terrifying monsters, is still unimpeded...... Maybe this is the blessing of Lucky Star's special ability.

"Shit!"

"I don't feel my feet anymore."

The old musket leaned against a tree and loosened the trouser leg that he had roped into.

At this time, his feet were swollen like light bulbs, bruises mixed with blood clots, and there were many traces of mosquito bites on them.

In the middle of the rainforest...... The most terrifying is often not the ferocious beast, but the ubiquitous poisonous insects.

Although the old musket was experienced and had already used ropes to tighten some places that were easy to get into poisonous insects, such as "trouser legs, cuffs, and collars", those mutated insects still tore some pieces of cloth and got in.

The old musket was almost dead on its foot.

A finger-long parasite had burrowed into the center of its foot, greedily sucking the blood, causing its belly to grow bigger and bigger.

Thankfully, he was prepared.

A cunning hunter who will collect some herbs in the forest from time to time.

In ancient China, there were some concepts in Chinese medicine, within ten steps of poison, there would always be herbs that were mutually reinforcing, which seemed to be in line with the cycle of heavenly principles.

He first took out a long needle and picked out the thick blisters on his feet.

Then he cut off a piece of flesh around the parasite's mouthparts.

These parasites have a protective mechanism, and when they encounter danger, they will release more powerful toxins, and the easiest way is to rip off all the small pieces of flesh......

The old musket took out an antitoxin potion, injected it into the crook of the leg, and took out some herbs to cover the soles of the feet and wounds.

That's it.

Look at Gu Fan and Xiao Luck again.

Gu Fan's strength was terrifying, and the toughness of his skin was far from being able to bite and tear by those mosquitoes.

As for Xiao Lucky, he is even more despicable, he can always avoid the bites of those poisonous insects, and there is not a single pustule on his body.

It's really envious, jealous and hateful.

As for the bandit leader named Cai Tuo, he was not so lucky.

There were a lot of bulging pus pockets on his body, and a few "leeches" that fell from the trees behind him sucked the blood, and soon became the size of a fist and held his vest high.

However, no one cares whether he lives or dies.

"Okay, let's go directly to the Chiyang City-State."

"That's not far from here, it's not small, at least 7,8 thousand people."

The old musket put on his shoes, limped a little, and showed a rich smile: "Robbers, you can be freed when you get there, the people of the Chiyang City-State hate robbers the most." ”

Chiyang City-State.

It was a city-state built on the mountains and forests.

In fact, it is a city-state, at best, a pre-apocalyptic town, but it sounds good, as if it were a small autonomous country.

The leader there, nicknamed Blazing Sun.

He is a very strong hunter, and his grade has reached the current top of mankind - the steel level.

Lieyang has a large number of subordinates, and the strong ones who have reached the level of hunters must have at least 70 or more people, and the number of evolutionaries is more than 300.

This number...... It sounds like a little bit of a fight, and it's not even comparable to a unit at a military base.

But in fact, for the human beings who are trying to survive in the gap of the last days, it can be regarded as very powerful, and the city-state of about 8,000 people is already very large-scale.

There are many similar city-states in the Dawning Alliance, and they can only be called powerful if they are together.

Soon.

And they came to their destination.

An earthen wall more than ten meters high envelops the miniature city.

This earthen wall has average defense, but it has no problem resisting normal carrion monsters.

A few people went through a simple investigation and soon came to the city-state, the humble environment was like a small mountain village, and many people were building weedy huts together.

Cut down some bamboo forests on the hills, pull up some weeds, and start building houses.

If there is a strong wind and heavy rain, most of these houses are overwhelmed, and it is even more common for them to leak when it rains.

But the strange thing is that the living conditions of these refugee survivors are strangely good, and everyone has a happy and contented smile on their faces.

A woman is building a farmhouse with many special plants from the last days planted nearby.

It was something like "barley", which grew many times faster than ordinary barley, and produced grain like bunches of large grapes, almost crushing the straw.

Mutated barley.

The end times have caused most living things to mutate.

But there are also some plants that are developing in a good direction, such as the golden bunch of mutated wheat in front of him, which was obtained from a certain big merchant of the Dawning Alliance.

"Huh?"

"That's golden barley."

Gu Fan recognized this creature, and the golden barley was very precious.

"Yes, Golden Barley."

"The Dawning Alliance, free seeds."

"But when the harvest comes, 3 percent of the tax will be handed over to the Chiyang city-state, and 3 percent will be delivered to the Chamber of Commerce."

"But even so, the remaining 40% is enough for the people to live, and there are even many leftovers."

Remainder.

Poor refugees, grow food, and in the end there is still some leftover.

This is absolutely unimaginable in the last days.

The Dawning Alliance, it seems, has become a little different from the previous life??

In the last life, this golden barley was firmly controlled by some powerful "aristocrats", and it was even illegal for ordinary farmers to grow it.

Eventually, the magnates would distribute the harvest of the golden barley, and frantically suck off other supplies from the common people, or squeeze out their labor with a small amount of food, all working like slaves.

But now it's free.

No wonder the woman was full of happiness and energy, taking good care of these hard-won golden barley, and it turned out that 40% of them would eventually fall into her own hands.

In the last days, being able to eat is more important than everything.

"The butterfly effect."

"A small butterfly flapping its wings will cause a storm on the other side of the ocean."

Gu Fan thought to himself: "The return of my rebirth seems to have set off a small wind, and this wind has become stronger and stronger, gradually forming a new storm. ”

Obviously.

The seeds of golden barley are extremely precious, but if they are distributed for free, they can be widely planted on a large scale and extract more money and grain taxes.

The free one is the most expensive, and the gain is also the greatest.

This style of doing things, why is it so much like the one under Gu Fan...... Could it be that the Chamber of Commerce of the Dawning Alliance also has a place for Wang Dafu? ?

"Big Gufan."

"I'll go and hand over this kid to the Chiyang City-State, and then exchange the resources in my hand for some money."

The old musket suppressed the strong leader, and at the same time gave Lucky Star a look: "Take our big guy, have a good time in Chiyang City, we have gained a lot this time, and we can squander it for a while." ”

Have a play.

When Lucky Star heard this, his eyes became a lot more obscene.
