Cangzhou in Ning County was originally a small village with about a dozen families, but since the development of this area in Xiangcheng for more than ten years, large and small enterprises and capital have followed, and even Ning County, which is isolated from the area, has enjoyed endless benefits and benefits. The small size of Ningxian County also makes it impossible to develop industry on a large scale, and under the planning of the think tank, it can only promote the local fishery as a feature.

Unexpectedly, after three or five years of development, the fishery-related industry has really been made in full swing, and several brands have been born for a time, which are well-known throughout the country. At the same time, taking advantage of the brand effect, the local area has also begun to develop the tourism industry, although it is a few years later than Xiangcheng and Harbour City. However, the name of the first county in fishery ecology has also brought unexpected harvests to Ning County.

Cangzhou, the hometown of mermaids, actually comes from a folk story, which was later edited into a book and a play. With the development of Ning County, more and more people come to tourism and business, and the reputation of the mermaid town is getting bigger and bigger. It's just that Zhang Zhao and the others rarely pay attention to this news, and it is the first time they have heard of this place.

The original Cangzhou village has been demolished and relocated to another place, and the cash area has become completely commercialized. The land in the village has been expanded several times, and the road into the village has been widened a lot. After entering the stone arch, you will be presented with a large square of 2,000 square meters.

There is a large fountain in the center of the square, with a diameter of twenty or thirty meters, and the mermaid statue of six or seven meters in the center of the fountain holds a clay pot and tilts slightly. But I don't know how long the water has stopped, and the graceful mermaid has some faint moss, and the water in the fountain pool has long been black and smelly, and there are some messy garbage floating.

This large square is also only the entrance to the mermaid country, and there is a road on one side of the square that leads to the parking lot. The whole large square is circular, and the mermaid sculpture is facing the ticket hall and entrance, and there are many shops next to it, all of which sell souvenirs and souvenirs, but there are no restaurants and hotels for accommodation.

This place is relatively remote for Ning County, so when the catastrophe came, it was not like other crowded places. There is a lot of garbage and discarded equipment in the main square, but there are no corpses and zombies to be seen.

The four of them didn't dare to take it lightly, although they all wandered around the main square, they always kept a distance, not too far apart. Zhang Zhao stood in front of a stone wall, carefully looking at the origin of the story of the land of mermaids, the general story is: According to legend, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a man in Cangzhou Village, named Guo Tieshi, because his family was poor, he had not married a wife in his thirties. Guo Tieshi is honest, diligent, he goes out to sea to fish before dawn every day, and if he goes home early, he will help his neighbors do some work, but he doesn't take anything. He has a blind old mother at home, Guo Tieshi's daily harvest is enough for the mother and son to eat and wear, if it is in the cold season, he often can't even take care of eating.

In the eyes of some people, Guo Tieshi is hardworking and has nothing, and it is a little stupid to help others without a penny, but at that time, every family was not much better, who doesn't want to do more work at home, and there is no need to pay. The more time passed, the poorer Guo Tieshi's family became, and one day he saw that he would not be able to eat, Guo Tieshi went out earlier than before, and wanted to get some fish for some food. This Guo Tieshi is also brainless, his father is a fisherman, he only taught him to fish, he can only fish, and the family land can't grow much food.

Guo Tieshi rocked the boat to the old place as usual, and there was a lot of harvest when he cast the first net, among which was a big golden fish that he had never seen before. The body of this fish is like gold, and it looks like it is still shining, and the curious Guo Tieshi was about to squat down to see what is going on, but he didn't expect tears to flow from the eyes of the fish. If ordinary people saw this, they would either not care, or they would have chopped the fish on the spot. Unexpectedly, Guo Tieshi didn't make any drastic moves, but gently stroked the fish scales and said: "You fish, my family is almost unable to open the pot, it is rare to have such a big harvest today, but you are like this, how can I bear it." ”

Unexpectedly, the fish actually spoke, "This big brother, I also swam here today because of my playfulness, if you let me go, I will definitely repay you." ”

Guo Tieshi was not surprised when he heard what the fish said, but smiled, and picked up the big golden fish and put it back in the water. After Guo Tieshi returned to the village, he told his fellow villagers what he had seen and heard today, but no one believed it, and everyone laughed at him instead, saying that Guo Tieshi was getting more and more stupid. But no one expected that within half a month, a beautiful and simple girl came to the village, and she arrived at Guo Tieshi's house......

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao didn't look any further, it was nothing more than a very old-fashioned story of a mermaid repaying his kindness, such a story was at most a false rumor, and it was not possible to make it up in accordance with the development of Ning County. The Eastern version of the mermaid story, compared with the Western mermaid story, is much more subtle, and while it is down-to-earth, it also depicts beauty, encouraging people to be positive and good, so that good people will be rewarded. If this story is written from a Western perspective, this mermaid is a terrifying and cruel succubus, let alone a legend, and it will be banned.

When Zhang Zhao was about to go and see elsewhere, Guo Rong came over, pinched half of his cigarette and said: "This place is very dark, this square is not a mermaid town, and the place to buy a ticket to enter is the place." A ticket is eight hundred and eight, and you have to pay another fee to eat and drink Lazar when you get inside. ”

Zhang Zhao has also been to many tourist areas, and the most expensive tickets are more than 200 yuan. I didn't expect that in such a remote place, the tickets alone would be so expensive, and if you go in, you will not be able to eat and drink, accommodation, and other items.

It's no wonder that these stores at the door, none of them are related to food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the people who can go in to consume are basically not here to walk, they come here for leisure and vacation, and they play for three or five days, and there are not a few who play for ten days and half a month for a long time. Those who are willing to spend this money to come here for a vacation will naturally not mind spending some money on special products or something. The operating company of this family of fish towns, this abacus crackled, and even Zhang Zhao couldn't help but secretly admire.

Fortunately, here and now, there is no such thing as consumption, and Song Muyuan and Lu Yang have already turned over the barrier at the entrance and looked around inside.

There shouldn't be many people here to play here, and it's impossible to say that you encounter a group of corpses, so you won't be so worried about danger or something. What's more, Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong also had a strong interest in the place where the ticket was 808, and wanted to see it, so the two locked the car and turned into the ticket gate.

If you want to say that the operator here has a brain, it is not nonsense, standing at the ticket gate and looking inside, you can only see some exotic white-walled buildings, and other things are not visible on the other side. Everyone doesn't know that the building of the mermaid town has specially invited foreign designers to do it, but the story of the mermaid town is local, but this building is foreign, and the theme is a bit bull's head.

The purpose of coming here for a holiday is to be physically and mentally comfortable, and not many people care about the story behind it. When you walk fifty or sixty meters along the road at the entrance, behind those white buildings is the real mermaid town.

"Damn, that's the real fun." Guo Rong couldn't help but marvel.

This is a street about ten meters wide, because the scenic area can not be driven, so the street appears particularly wide. There is a section of about 200 meters long on both sides of the road, full of various brands, even though Zhang Zhao has hardly bought the real thing before, but he still knows most of the logos of these brands. Clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, almost the whole street lists the world's famous brands, and even electronic products, smart products, household goods, are all first-class brands. The only purpose of coming to this dazzling street is to buy and buy.

It's just that this palatial section of the road is now a bit of a mess, every store is wide open, and the goods inside are almost all looted. A brand store specializing in women's clothing, the iron sign that reads 'full-time male waiter delivers to the door' has also been stepped on countless small pits.

And the men's clothing store next door to it, the one-to-one sculpture of the island supermodel, also fell aside, leaving only half of the body. Not to mention those shops that buy gold, silver and jade, they look miserable.

"Bandits, what a group of bandits with human faces and beast hearts, you said that everything is coming, what's the use of robbing these things." Originally, seeing this street, Guo Rong was still happy in his heart, this grade is much higher than any shopping mall, he can walk in front of more than a dozen stores, the situation is similar, he couldn't help but scold.

In the conspicuous place at the entrance of the store of those top brands, there are some hintive slogans, which makes the four of them a lot of surprise, compared to the eight hundred and eight tickets, the consumption in this mermaid town is life. The people who can come here for a vacation are not the rich and the like, this is the world of the really rich. After walking through the shopping area, there are some leisure businesses, what game halls, Internet cafes, SPA clubs have everything, as for a few people inside did not go in to see, what is boring is unknown.

Further on is the restaurant street, where delicacies from all over the world are deterred by ordinary people just by decorating. At the end of the road, there is a T-shaped junction, and judging by the street signs, one direction leads to the accommodation and leisure area by the sea, and the other direction leads to the performing arts area, and even a horse farm.

At the end of the T-shaped intersection is a huge building with a simple name, just one word - palace.

"Damn, this is many times bigger than our school building." Lu Yang exclaimed. The building is only eight floors, but the area is so large that if you don't look closer, you would think it's a small mountain. The hotel, called 'Palace', looks big during the day, and the walls are snow-white, and the hundreds of windows and balconies are covered with plants, which look like a special painting at a glance.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

However, it is not until night falls that this magnificent building reveals its true appearance, and when the dim golden light is turned on, the whole building takes on a mysterious and noble appearance.

"Brother Zhang, let's go back and talk to Brother Li, let's all move here, this place is amazing, it's amazing!" The hotel architecture gives people a visual impact, and Lu Yang can already imagine what it will be like to live here.

This place is good, but the geographical location is not as good as Mashan Prison, and to build such a large place, there is no shortage of manpower. If you want to live here, you must meet two conditions, one is that you need enough people, the place here is too big, all areas need to be guarded, and the outer areas almost need to be re-reinforced. Here we have to take into account the materials and man-hours, to plan the demolition of the place, and then to rebuild the fortifications, now there are only seventy or eighty people on hand, there are no tools and equipment, and this thing will not be done well in a few years.

The second condition is completely ungraspable, that is, in such a large place, before the defense facilities are perfected, there are no large groups of corpses and mutated zombies. Before the catastrophe, this mermaid town didn't know how much manpower to invest in normal operation, and it seemed that the security work was very tight, but that was for people, people would be afraid of surveillance, and they would not dare to steal chickens and dogs for fear of being caught. But the zombies don't care about this, they come when they want to, and they don't stop dying.

"You think too much, let's go around this place, just take a look at it, if you want to live here, no one will serve you, it's better to live in Mashan Prison comfortably." Even Song Muyuan couldn't stand Lu Yang's conjecture, there was no manpower here, no electricity, and those equipment were equivalent to waste. Usually sneaking in a lone zombie, it may take a lot of manpower to find it, not to mention the group of thousands of eight hundred corpses, and they may have to retreat to this palace and tremble.
