"Actually, the main role of this wall is actually stability rather than a defensive function." "There's not much work to be done in the settlement, and some people tend to cause trouble when they're bored, and these walls are built to give them a place to use their excess energy." People have to find something to do, don't they? ”

Qiu Yu nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived in front of the iron gate. A large iron chain entwined the two doors in the middle, but they were not locked.

Looking behind the door through the irregular gap between the iron bars, there is a cement hut on the right side of the gate that seems to be left over from before the Great War. But the door of the outpost-like room was wide open, but there was no one inside.

Jack returned the bag to Qiu Yu, and then took the chain off the door with his own hands, "For those who really want to get in, these walls don't do much good, so this doorway is also a show to block some mutant animals running around." ”

Seeing that Jack had opened the door and entered, and then wrapped the chain back around the door, Culomb whispered, "Isn't this chain just right as a weapon?" Why is it put here and no one wants it? ”

Jack walked towards the entrance to the next wall, "It looks like no one is there right now, but if you really dare to take it, you'll be caught by a bunch of people and stripped of everything on you for stealing." ”

Coulomb was stunned for a moment, and muttered in a smaller voice, "Damn, this colony is such a bastard. ”

"I don't see it that way." Qiu Yu said, "I will find an excuse to grab something, which means that there is good order here." ”

Jack sneered at half of his face, "yes, it's too good. ”

The second wall dozens of meters away didn't even have a door, it was just a gap a few meters wide, but when the three of them reached the gap, several people suddenly appeared holding various firearms with obvious traces of self-made marks.

"The first gate is used to let people let their guard down, and the second is the real ambush point? The people who designed these are still a little clever. ”

In the face of these sudden appearances, Qiu Yu said as if he had expected them, completely ignoring them, and continued to walk forward.

And these people just stood there and looked at the three of Qiu Yu, and didn't make other moves.

In fact, they were arranged here, and even they couldn't tell who they were trying to guard against - there were no homeless people who would come here to die, large-scale organizations looked down on this land without oil and water, and some people who came here to do business or join here were not something they could stop. Maybe scaring people and getting some extra income for yourself is the only point of this job.

But the people who came this time obviously didn't look like they would be scared.

Qiu Yu dragged that exaggerated bag, no matter where he went, it was easy to be automatically given the noble status of a traveling merchant, plus he was definitely handsome in this era, and it was a perfect pass for people to know the depths.

And the submachine guns that Jack and Culomb held in their hands like showing off made them clearly realize that these people were definitely not the objects they could make money for.

In this era, weapons are not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of strength and status. The former is eye-catching, while the latter is awe-inspiring. But in the vast majority of the time, the latter always takes precedence.

After passing through the second wall, a lively city comes into view. Except for the dilapidated buildings and the unpleasant appearance of the people, it is almost indistinguishable from a small American town that is commonly seen on TV.

Walking on the cracked but filled sand road, countless people hiding in the shadows of the building kept their eyes on the three of them as if they were watching rare animals, and some even stepped out of the shadows to do something, only to stop their movements and retreat into the shadows after seeing the weapons in the hands of Jack and Cullen.

Although it is known as a large settlement, it is far from possible to fill the entire city with a few thousand people, except for a considerable number of people gathered at the entrance of the wall for some special reason, and the further you go to the center of the city, the smaller the population.

It wasn't until I entered the shopping street, which was really the center, that it became lively again.

Even after a few years of leaving, the buildings and shops have barely changed from their original ones, and Jack points to the shops with all sorts of exaggerated signs.

"The bison head is a food store, with everything from trace amounts of irradiated meat to bread and milk, and if you can get something good, you can even get raised meat there with almost no radiation."

"There were two people standing at the door, and there was a weapons shop, which was different from the guns we made ourselves in the settlement, and it was a place where you could really buy all kinds of regular weapons from before the war. I heard that in addition to the ruins that were made from various ruins, there are also newly produced weapons that have been imported from organizations that produce weapons. ”

"The red cross on the door is the hospital, the doctors and nurses are coming out of the shelter, although there are not many medicines to use, they have a few sets of surgical instruments, and the treatment of external injuries is quite good. It's just that the price is a little expensive, but compared to life, a few bullets are nothing. ”

"The one on the second floor is a store run by an organization, and it is said that it sells anti-radiation drugs, and people who want to enter certain high-radiation areas will buy some, and only God knows if it will have an effect."

Jack's introduction is to tell Qiu Yu that if he needs something, he can go into the corresponding store to trade. But after being introduced all the way, Qiu Yu didn't want to go to any house to see.

"That's right." Jack pointed to the largest building and said, "If you want to gather information, go in there, it's a bar that you can't find anywhere else, and it sells all kinds of information in addition to alcohol and women." ”

In this era without the Internet, all kinds of information that cannot be confirmed are circulating all the time, and the information itself is no longer valuable, but the information that can determine the authenticity is valuable. Most of the things that will be sold in bars have been verified by professionals, or have enough credibility to intelligence sources. Therefore, the intelligence sales of bars have become an important source of income that is not weaker than alcohol and women.

Qiu Yu could see from the eyes of the two of them what they were expecting from the bar, I was afraid that even if there was no information to sell there, they would also find an excuse to go in.

sighed and connected to Qian Xiao's communication, "It's too slow, hasn't it arrived yet?" ”

Qian Xiao's violent gasp came from the communicator, "What? You...... Have you arrived? I was ...... yesterday I slept only eleven hours...... I'm going to hurry up and hurry......"

"I'm in the bar in Colony 16, so I'll just come here when I get there." Autumn Feather turned off the communication.

The two people on the side cheered and strode towards the bar with Qiu Yu.

As one of the most expensive places in this era, there are generally only two kinds of people who will enter the bar: one is the person who enjoys because he is rich. The other is the person who spends every day as if it was his last, and the number of such people is always much higher than the former, so the bar has become a place for these people to gather and vent.

The old-fashioned record player with its flimsy music, deafening roars, frantic moanings, and pungent smell of bad quality liquor make it more of an outlaw rally than a bar.

When the three of them entered, the whole bar was silent for a moment, and some people who were about to move looked at the three unfamiliar faces for a moment before returning to their own madness and enjoyment, but their eyes still swept over intentionally or unintentionally.

In the corner, a woman who was pretty even by pre-war standards dozed off lazily, but after seeing the weapons in the hands of Jack and Coulomb, she came to her senses slightly. When he saw Qiu Yu and the exaggerated bag again, he immediately stood up excitedly. The clothes were already a little old, but they were still clean, and they slowly walked towards the three of them.

"Behold, Rebecca is tempted."

"Slaughter these fat sheep fiercely."

"They won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

"You bastards, if you don't shut up, you're going to fucking fuck out of here."

Rebecca's threatening words, instead of having the slightest effect, made the whistles and shouts in the bar louder. So, all Rebecca could do was stand in front of Qiu Yu and shout in a louder voice than the others, "Do you want wine or me." As for alcohol, now only gray ale and beer are left, and as long as you can use the bullet regardless of the type, there are 3 gray ales per bottle and 1 beer per glass. My words 10 bullets a night. Rebecca's eyes fixed on Qiu Yu's face for a moment, "If it's you, I can give you a 5% discount." ”

This time, even Culomb and Jack let out strange screams.

The unique arrogance of this era caught Qiu Yu off guard, and he said nervously and embarrassedly, "I'm just...... Looking for a quiet spot to inquire about something......"

Rebecca's reaction was satisfying, and in the entire settlement, she didn't think anyone was more beautiful than herself, and she didn't think anyone could refuse her charm. But they never knew how to appreciate, and those ugly men couldn't wait to pull themselves to bed every time they handed in the bullet. And judging from the shy expression, the equally beautiful young man in front of him may be one of the few people who knows how to appreciate himself.

"Come with me."

Rebecca turned and walked towards the back of the bar.

Qiu Yu followed her for a few steps, only to find that Culomb and Jack had not followed, and immediately turned around and shouted, "What are you doing, come with me." ”

Coulomb and Jack looked at each other and made a gesture before reluctantly following Qiu Yu.

Perhaps it was a bar before the war, with a small private room behind the hall. Most of the doors were locked, but some of them were wide open, and intermittent moans and suppressed cries of pain came out.
