Chapter 441 Human Trafficking
The setting sun shone a gentle red glow, covering the vast city of the city-state of Derin.
It was already relatively warm here, but under the glow of the setting sun, the ground and the city walls reflected a dark blood light that made people chill.
These are all stained by zombies and human flesh and blood, and on every inch of land, more than one zombie has fallen.
In front of it is the city-state of Delin, one of the three major human cities in Europe, but the humans here prefer to call it the city-state.
"The climate here is better, not as cold as in China."
Lu Tian and Qingjia walked on the black ground, like two ordinary Europeans, no one cared and no one took a second look.
Next to them, many of them were hunting parties returning to the city, in groups of three or five, either driving or walking, and the common feature was that they smelled of blood.
But apart from them, the most of them are old and young men and women in ragged clothes, carrying rag bags on their backs, bowing their heads and hurrying away, with panic, embarrassment, and misery on their faces, these are human beings living at the lowest level.
"It's very difficult for humans everywhere to live!"
Lu Tian sighed secretly in his heart, this was his official experience of human existence abroad, and it was not much better than that of the Huaxia Terran.
At the entrance of the city-state, surrounded by a wall up to 100 meters high, there are two forts on the left and one on the right side of the city gate, which are tens of meters wide, and countless black muzzles are pointed at the outside, which is not only to prevent zombies, but also to avoid unrest.
There is no need to prove it when entering the city, Lu Tian and Qingjia entered smoothly, the city is paved with rough stone slabs, many buildings are also simple and practical, and the dense survivors are trading things.
"Let's go sell something!"
Lu Tian chooses a big store, he has to change some local currency first, after all, money can make ghosts grind, and it is difficult to do a step without money.
There was a big bag behind Qingjia, bulging, and the guys at the door of the store had their eyes lit up and immediately greeted them.
"Dear Sir, please let me serve you!"
This guy speaks with a local accent, is not more than twenty years old, has a strong body, has golden broken hair, and the overall appearance is very energetic, giving people a good first feeling.
Lu Tian nodded: "We have a prey to deal with, I'm not very familiar with it here, help me take the way, the tip is indispensable for you." β
The tradition of tipping in the West has not changed, both before and now, and when he said this, it immediately made the guy more enthusiastic.
He is just an ordinary waiter in the store, and he likes to meet big customers, so he gives more tips.
"Two gentlemen, please come here!"
He saw that Lu Tian was talking extraordinary, and he quietly glanced at Qingjia, and vaguely guessed that the prey for sale was not an ordinary living thing.
He said tentatively: "Sir, I don't know what the level of the prey you are selling, if it is a high-level prey, you can go to the fast track." β
Lu Tian looked at the hall, there were quite a few people, but the prey in those windows was average, if it could be solved as soon as possible, he would naturally be very happy.
"Ours is a level 6 prey, can you arrange it, I don't like to waste time!"
"Yes! Our Athena department store stipulates that as long as the prey reaches level 5, you can enter the fast track, and if you are level 6, sir, you can go directly to the VIP channel. β
The guy was excited, although they were very hard waiters, but if they handled it with senior customers, not only did they tip a lot, but they also had a certain commission, if this gentleman sold level 6 goods to the store, just the increase was comparable to a month's salary, how could he not be happy.
"You lead the way!"
Lu Tian smiled faintly, and roughly understood the reason why this guy was excited, if it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of being too ostentatious, he could bring a level 7 or even level 8 beast here.
After a few turns, the dΓ©cor is also beautiful, and it is a single room, and the treatment is much more comfortable than the hall.
The guy took Lu Tian and Qingjia into one of the rooms, and a blonde beauty greeted them with a professional smile: "Two gentlemen, I am Alice who received you, and welcome you to the Athena Trading House." β
Lu Tian didn't go to admire the beauty, but glanced at Qingjia and asked him to put things down.
Alice smiled even more beautifully, she liked cheerful customers, otherwise she would have to sell some hue.
As her prey appeared, her smile froze, her mouth slightly open, and her eyes glowing.
I saw Qingjia pull out the pocket, and the snow-white thing was revealed, this is a ferret, the most beautiful of the beasts.
Alice, the professional harvest manager here, naturally recognized the prey, and the reason for her surprise was precisely because she knew how difficult it was to hunt.
The ferret is poisonous, and the speed is amazing, and the most powerful thing is that it is good at concealment, and the average transcendent person does not say kill it, and it is estimated that it will not even be able to see its shadow.
Rare is expensive, and it is precisely because it is difficult to kill that ferrets are even rarer, and its fur is very popular with high-level transcendents, which makes its value increase by another point.
"Miss Alice, can you help us calculate the value?"
Lu Tian opened his mouth to remind him that he really didn't want to stay too long.
"Oh, sir, please let me see it."
Alice stepped forward and touched the smooth fur, feeling very excited, as long as it is a woman, no one can stop beautiful things, let alone such a top luxury.
Still, she focused on her work, and quickly checked the ferret, which was not very large and did not take much time.
"Sir, this ferret is complete and can be purchased at the highest price." Alice's eyes were filled with admiration, she had already seen that this ferret was fatal by a blow, and the strength of the man in front of her was definitely more than level 6.
"How many are there?"
"80,000 federal coins, I don't know if Mr. is satisfied, this price is already very high."
The Federated Currency is the unified currency of Europe, which is almost 1.2 times the number of credits, which means that the ferret is worth about 100,000 credits.
"No problem."
"Is the money on your ID card or in the form of a single card?"
The identity card is naturally a bank card with an ID card as the account, and the single card is similar to the previous credit card, but it is anonymous, that is, anyone can use it.
"I want a single card!"
Of course, Lu Tian chose a single card, and he didn't have a real identity card, so it was convenient to use a single card to consume directly, and he didn't even need to enter the password.
As for the problem of being robbed by others, he didn't have any worries at all, there were few people in this world who could rob him.
"Can you give me 10,000 in cash?"
Lu Tian suddenly spoke again, and now because of the equipment, the cash is also used more.
"Yes, sir!"
Alice said respectfully, and she quickly took out a black card from under the table, and after operating it on a machine, she took out a stack of money from the box.
"Sir, you click."
Alice pointed to the money, and then to a small machine on the table that could be used to check the money in the card.
"No need, let's go first!"
Lu Tian waved his hand and left in Alice's respectful voice.
"Oh, your tip!"
Lu Tian threw two pieces of money to the guy waiting at the door, this federal coin is also specially made, with a cross on it, and the symbols of the three city-states are faintly behind it.
"Sir, you are so generous!"
The guy pinched the money and grinned widely. That's two hundred federal dollars, which is equivalent to half a month's salary.
"You're a local here, aren't you?"
Lu Tian suddenly turned his head to look at him, thinking that he wanted to find a guide to inquire about the news, this guy has seen a lot of people every day, and he is a good person to ask.
"Yes."
The guy didn't understand what Lu Tian meant for a while, and replied in a hurry.
"We're from another city-state, and we're not very familiar with this place, and we want to find a local guide, I don't know if you want to, and the reward won't be bad for you."
Lu Tian frowned slightly, and said half-truthfully.
"It is an honor for Beru to serve the two gentlemen!"
Beru replied eagerly, he had done it as a guide, but unfortunately there were too few adults from other places, and this was his second time.
"Two gentlemen, can you wait a minute, I need to go and ask for leave."
Boru didn't want to lose this relatively stable job, and respectfully asked, he was a temporary worker here, and his salary was calculated on a daily basis, and he could ask for leave at any time.
Lu Tianzhi didn't care very much, saying that he was asked to be a guide, but it was just convenient to ask some things. After all, he is not familiar with the people here, and he doesn't know anything about the situation here, the culture here, and the distribution of forces here, and even if Qingjia wants to inquire, he has to bring a reliable local talent.
Soon, Beru left with them, making many waiters standing at the door to pick up customers show envious eyes.
β¦β¦
"Hurry up, do you want to die?"
Lu Tian didn't take a few steps when he heard a few shouts and curses, and his eyes glanced at him casually.
It was a group of people, more than twenty in number, and more than ten women, as if goods were being carried by seven transcendents of high status.
These seven transcendents were supposed to be an organization, all dressed in black robes with a hint of mystery, most of them clasping their hands in front of their chests, and glancing at the embarrassed women proudly.
"Your good days are coming soon, all hurry up for me!" The leader was an old man, and his sharp gaze kept sweeping the immature faces of the girls in the crowd, and said with a sneer.
His pupils glowed slightly, and a wisp of energy flowed in his eyes, which made his momentum so strong that everyone around him avoided it in fear.
"Sir, they belong to the Black Skull Society, and those girls are the goods they bought."
Bruw revealed the identities of the group and introduced some of the local situation.
At present, human trafficking is no longer illegal, because there is a high-level need, and at the same time, human trafficking can allow many poor people to survive, so this kind of escort of young girls on the street is very common.
These young girls are liked by many organizations, especially some big people have special hobbies, so that some people can sell them for a very high price.
"Black Skull?"
Lu Tian's eyes moved slightly, he did see a familiar sign on the chest of the black-robed man, he didn't expect that this transcendent force that had dealt with him would now be able to conduct business openly.
"Let's go, take me to rent a house!"
He didn't care much, everyone has their own way of living, even if they are sold as goods, it is better than starving to death.
So he won't care about it, he really hates black skeletons, but it doesn't mean that he will take the initiative to find trouble with others.
