Chapter 253: Accommodation
By this time the forest had come out of the forest, several tributaries had converged, the course widened, and the boats stopped in the middle of the river, and bullets flew and splashed on the surface of the water.
Others opened fire as well, and after a while, the gunfire suddenly stopped.
"Stop! Not from the Fire Eagle Mercenary Regiment! ”
Han Menglong let out a sigh of relief, although the shooting just now was fierce, but the other party obviously did not mean to destroy them, if the other party used a bazooka, they were simply the best live target on the speedboat.
At this time, after a tentative exchange of fire, the other side also stopped firing, and faintly, from the reeds beside the river, two speedboats sailed out.
These two speedboats, looking at their appearance, are no different from Han Menglong's one, except that they are spraying camouflage colors on them, and the light machine gun is mounted on the bow of the speedboat.
There were more than a dozen soldiers on the ship, all of them Federation soldiers, and they all looked vigilant and quickly approached Li Duo.
"Lay down your arms!"
These soldiers held their weapons one by one and shouted loudly, Han Menglong waved his hand, and everyone behind him put down their weapons one after another and raised their hands high, indicating that they were not hostile.
"Sir! Own! Own! ”
Han Menglong smiled all over his face, he pointed to the dragon icon on his neckline, and said: "We are from the Raptors Mercenary Group, and Chief Xiangbi has also heard of it, and Lin Cheng is ranked fourteenth!" ”
"Raptors mercenary group?"
The sergeant who took the lead was full of suspicion, he looked at Han Menglong, glanced at the people behind him, and finally withdrew his gaze.
"I've heard of you, but it's late afternoon, why are you still out there? Forgot about the government's out-of-town curfew? ”
Li Duo was relieved in his heart, no wonder he started fighting as soon as he met, after the curfew, all the people wearing civilian clothes on the road would be treated as enemies, and without using bazookas, they could already be said to be sympathetic to the other party.
"I'm sorry, sir!"
Han Menglong smiled apologetically, then took out the cigarettes and alcohol that had been prepared from a bag behind him, and handed them over with a smile on his face.
"Accommodating! Accommodating! ”
A bottle of two pot heads, a pack of Hademen.
These things, before the end of the world, even the old smoker and old drunkard will dislike the low-grade goods, but it has become the most valuable thing, Li Duo can see that this bottle of Erguotou wine is turbid, and it is clearly mixed with water, but even so, it still makes the sergeant's eyes shine, and the soldiers behind him can't help but swallow spit.
Quietly put the cigarette into his pocket, picked up the second pot and poured it violently, the sergeant's face showed an intoxicated expression, and he reluctantly handed the wine to the soldier behind him who was also looking at him with blank eyes, which immediately caused a scramble.
"I'll let you go this time! Not an example! ”
The righteous words in the sergeant's mouth, and his eyes, clearly meant that he said "Welcome to come again next time", Han Menglong was overjoyed when he heard this, he nodded again and again, and then, stepped on the accelerator, and the speedboat rushed out at great speed.
Li Duo turned his head, looked at the soldiers who were still coaxing, and shook his head secretly, a bottle of bad wine bought the patrol, and even the living conditions of the regular army were so bad, it is conceivable that Lin Cheng's state has been so bad.
"Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise this would have happened, and at worst I would have been arrested and put in prison."
Han Menglong patted his chest with palpitations.
The others also looked like they were going to Yunlong Mountain in order to hunt high-level zombie creatures, and if they were attacked by a patrol because of the curfew, they would simply want to cry without tears.
However, fortunately, the patrol successfully passed the hurdle by using bribes.
Looking at Han Menglong's painful expression, Li Duo secretly laughed in his heart, it was just a bottle of inferior wine and a pack of cheap cigarettes, as for feeling distressed like this?
As if seeing through Li Duo's thoughts, Han Menglong smiled bitterly.
"It seems that brother, you are really coming to Lincheng for the first time, and you are not familiar with the prices in Lincheng, right?"
Li Duo nodded, indeed, it was the first time he came to Lin City, and in the face of this only metropolis in the south of the Yangtze River that was in the hands of humans, he was also very curious in his heart.
"The federal currency has long been a waste paper, and the currency in circulation in Lin City is called the new currency, and we came out to kill the zombies desperately, just to get enough blood, and then exchange it for new currency at the military's quartermaster."
Li Duo bowed slightly, whether it is Qingshan Town or Lincheng, large and small political systems, have printed their own currency, which is also the trend of today's society, the primitive transaction of barter is obviously not suitable for the use of Lincheng, which has three million residents, in order to stabilize the financial system, the government is also painstaking.
"At the beginning, the new currency was very hard, and the provincial government printed the new currency according to the price before the end of the world, two steamed buns for one dollar, but later, some corrupt elements began to rely on the printing channels they mastered for personal gain, coupled with the various counterfeit money flowing into the market, resulting in the collapse of the financial system."
Han Menglong smiled bitterly, and he continued: "The current real price of steamed buns has reached 10,000 Singapore dollars, and we have always used to spend them at the quartermaster department immediately when we get new coins, and no one knows how much the currency will depreciate tomorrow." ”
Inflation, currency depreciation 10,000 times?
Li Duo secretly said to himself, this is really terrifying, it can be depreciated to this extent, it can be seen how corrupt some high-level officials are, if it is devalued again, I am afraid that this set of currency will be abolished, and the financial system of Zhulin City can be supported by the reprinting of new currency.
"That's it! The upper and lower levels are black, and the people in the quartermaster department are also black! ”
The local girl who had been listening quietly to the conversation between the two couldn't help but interject, and she said indignantly: "The price of food has been adjusted again and again, rising again and again, if it weren't for their personal gain, we wouldn't have to go so far to find zombies!" ”
People nodded frequently, their expressions angry, obviously, they were used to being bullied by the people of the quartermaster's department, and everyone was holding back a cloud of anger in their hearts.
Li Duo listened quietly, what was the name of this girl, he had forgotten, he only remembered that her surname was Wang, but for this kind of passer-by in his life, he did not have the habit of remembering the other party's name, just sat aside and listened quietly.
"That's right! I've heard you guys talk about the Fire Eagle Mercenary Regiment, what kind of organization is that? ”
Li Duo was a little curious, and he asked.
Speaking of Fire Eagle, the faces of the people around him suddenly showed a thick hatred.
"The Fire Eagle Mercenary Group, the third in the Lincheng Mercenary Group organization, is a well-known bandit organization!"
Han Menglong's face suddenly showed a strong hatred, he gritted his teeth and said: "These guys rely on well-armed and powerful people, they ambushed us last time, not only snatched our prey, but also killed several of my brothers, if we weren't afraid of being ambushed, we wouldn't have run to Yunlong Mountain, suffering such a bird anger!" “
He scolded indignantly, his face full of anger.
Third?
Li Duo was shocked in his heart, originally looking at Han Menglong's strength, he thought, there is a mercenary group with a level 4 powerhouse, how to say that it is also a big force in Lin Cheng, he never expected that the raptor mercenary group can only be ranked fourteenth, it can be imagined how terrifying the strength of this third Fire Eagle mercenary group should be!
In Longjiang City, the leader of the rebel army is a level 4 evolutionary body, so he dares to fight guerrilla warfare with the military, and Lin Cheng is worthy of being a metropolis that brings together three million survivors, and there are many talents!
It's just that......
Li Duo sighed secretly, and looked at Han Menglong's eyes with a deep look of pity.
Implanted in the brain, life and death are all between the thoughts of others, so there is no freedom, no sense of security, this so-called comfort, don't do it!
Li Duo's thoughts, Han Menglong didn't know, he just poured bitter water on Li Duo and poured out his heart to a stranger.
The speedboat moved quickly, and after ten minutes, a dilapidated pier appeared ahead, and two jeeps covered with camouflage nets were parked on the overgrown road.
Seeing the two jeeps, Han Menglong let out a long breath.
"Huzi! Where did you kid die! Come out to the labor! ”
Hu Yang scolded in his mouth, but his face was full of excitement, he stood up, looked in the direction of the jeep, and scolded loudly.
"Hey! Brother Hu! ”
A young man's head poked out of the container on the side, and he looked at Hu Yang and the others with a smile on his face.
"The helicopter just passed in the sky, didn't I hide from the patrol!"
Huzi scratched his head slyly, he smiled, and hurried to the shore, took the cable thrown by Hu Yang, and tied it to the pillar of the pier.
When the group landed, Li Duo took off the gas mask on his face and let out a long breath.
"Huh? How is there one more? ”
Seeing Li Duo, Huzi was slightly stunned.
"This is Brother Li Duo, I met him in Yunlong Mountain, and I brought him back by the way!"
Han Menglong said.
"Brother Duo!"
Huzi is obviously a shrewd and clever ghost, far more knowledgeable than Hu Yang, as soon as he heard this, he immediately came up with a full face.
"That place in Yunlong Mountain is not peaceful, you dare to go to the forest, I am afraid that the strength is at least level 3, right?"
He invited with a smile: "It's your first time to come to Lin City, why can't you find a big organization, our mercenary group is strong, you see ......"
Li Duo secretly laughed in his heart, this guy is really a good calculation, he can be a man better than Han Menglong, but he has more important things to do at present, and he has no idea of joining the mercenary group for the time being.
"I'm sorry, I don't have this idea yet!"
Huzi was enthusiastic, and Li Duo was polite, he smiled and said.
"Boy, it's up to you to let you join! Lin Cheng is not peaceful, if there is no backstage, it will be unreasonable for people to rob it on the street! ”
Hu Yang raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly, hearing Hu Yang speak, Li Duo felt his head numb, obviously out of kindness, when it came out of his mouth, it became a threat and cruel words.
"Encounter is fate!"
Looking at Li Duo's thin body, Han Menglong shook his head, obviously, seeing Li Duo's thin figure, he didn't think how powerful Li Duo was, he looked at Li Duo and sighed slightly.
"Lin Cheng is not the kind of paradise advertised in the propaganda broadcast, on the surface it is calm, but in fact it has long been rotten to the bones, and now in this world, the law is like a decoration, killing people on the street, as long as you don't use firearms, or kill in front of the army and police, no one will pay attention to you when you go to the police!"
"Boy, our mercenary group does not raise waste people, and the entry condition must be an evolutionary."
Rose also snorted coldly and said, "That is, depending on your eyes, make an exception today, even if you are not an evolution, I will leave you to clean the yard and boil water for cooking." ”
"That's it, Li Duo, you still listen to everyone! The security team also destroyed a man's meat workshop in two days, and they picked out single travelers to attack, come to our side, although there is no pay, but it is better to be safe, and you will not be treated badly by eating and drinking! ”
As if she was afraid that Li Duo would refuse, the local girl hurriedly persuaded her, and her eyes were full of hope when she looked at Li Duo.
