Regarding Dragon God Island, Jiang Yuan remembered that he seemed to have heard about it in the underground casino of Elysium City, which means that Dragon God Island was actually not too far from Gangtie City, and they were not too far away from Gangtie City now.

Communication is a big trouble in this world, otherwise the two big cities that are so close to each other would not have the slightest connection.

From this point of view, the backing city will not be too far away from the Gangtie City, that is to say, if the backing mountain city and Longshen Island can't find those team members, then it means that this search is over, and he needs to return to the Gangtie City to make plans.

After a big tumbling jeep finally arrived at the backing city, Jiang Yuan had been worried that this broken thing would break down halfway, he couldn't bear to let his eldest sister's delicate skin be destroyed by the wind and snow, although her skin could already resist bullets.

The mountain city is indeed backed by the mountain, the towering stone wall is 70 meters high, the stone wall has been made into the shape of a city wall, there are people in armor patrolling on it, there is a deep moat outside the city wall, look at the hanging gate, it really looks like the ancient kind of city wall.

There are not many people coming in and out of this mountain town, but there are hundreds of people, and some of the people who come and go are full of joy, tired, and sad.

What it means to go out of the city is to get some supplies, to have more food, to live better, but more obviously, to be outside the city.

The cold of minus ten degrees alone is not something that ordinary people can bear, and it takes more calories to resist the cold, that is, more food, and even twice the amount consumed every day in the city, which is a lot of money.

The apocalyptic economy is dominated by barter, maintained in a state centered on crystal nuclei and supplemented by food as the common currency, a state that will not change much until the basic security and food problems are resolved.

However, Jiang Yuan predicted that the day of the establishment of a new monetary system was not far off, because bread worms, white rabbits, blood wheat, and even the giant trees that had just been discovered were a good, abundant, and relatively stable source of food.

Food is definitely not the final embodiment of interests, only money is, and the specific manifestation is the crystal nucleus, which will always become a hard currency in this apocalypse, it will become a substitute for gold, and the society under the apocalypse will definitely be the crystal nucleus standard system.

However, the output of crystal nuclei is not stable, which creates a lot of room for floating, if Jiang Yuan is an economist, he will definitely make a lot of money at that time, but he will not know anything, he can only rely on the simplest and crude method of "hoarding".

Along the way, when Jiang Yuan killed those mutated creatures, he didn't let go of the crystal nuclei that could be obtained, even those two-tailed giant scorpions that were smashed into pieces, their crystal nuclei were still intact, so he took them off one by one.

Some relatively intact carapaces, such as the carapace of the third-order twin-tailed scorpion, were taken down by him, and the third-order material was definitely a hard currency, after all, he had not seen a fourth-order human appear!

When they entered the city, the guards who blocked the way took a look at their goods, and Scar Liu was so painful that he paid a second-order early-stage crystal nucleus as a tax.

There is no clear regulation of this entry tax, because the energy of the crystal nucleus is not easy to measure, so the actual entry tax is very chaotic, but the mood of the guard soldier and his vision, collect an indefinite amount of tax.

The soldiers guarding the gate are undoubtedly a fat shortage, and the city lord has no way to do anything about their behavior, in this world, those who don't drill camps for themselves are dead!

Therefore, he set up a minimum gate tax, paid enough amount, and the rest was generally absorbed by the gatekeepers. Of course, they can't be angry and resentful, after all, they are just second-order special people, and if they are targeted by a stronger person than the third order, they will not care if they are killed.

This illustrates the fact that at all times, risk and benefit are proportional!

After entering the city, Scar Liu asked Li Sanfen'er to drive to the place where the car was repaired first, while he himself stayed to accompany Jiang Yuan and the two.

Although they are both third-order, he knows that he and Jiang Yuan are not at the same level, so he puts his status very low.

Along the way, he told Jiang Yuan and the others about the rules and related things of the backing city.

When entering the backer city, you need to pay a certain tax for carrying materials, and the tax payment is only for the goods, not for the person, no matter who you are, you have to pay the tax if you bring the items into the city. Of course, it is impossible to meet Jiang Yuan, a person who carries a cubic kilometer with him.

Once you enter the city, you can see tents and other shelters, which are disorganized because of the influx of refugees.

Household assets here refer to crystal nuclei, food and other materials that can be exchanged.

The closer you get inside, the more obvious the order becomes, and when you reach a range, houses begin to appear, these houses are very ordinary brick bungalows, but this has been deployed to be inhabitable by ordinary people.

The houses are all charged, according to the month, that is, these ordinary houses on the periphery have a monthly rent of three first-order crystal nuclei every month, which is a rent that ordinary people cannot afford. And inside, one ring after another, housing prices are as outrageous as the capital. But that's it, these houses are also in short supply, so much so that many houses have been dug up on the mountain behind them and used as high-end residences.

Compared with the powerful in the last days, although there is no clear division, there is also a recognized range, that is, from the place where there is a house.

The only big force in the backing city is the city lord's mansion, the city lord Mo Chong has gathered more than half of the special people in the city, they are distributed in large and small positions in the city, and there are 1,000 special people full of city army, and 5,000 people of the city guard.

In addition, there are thousands of ordinary people who are the most managers of the city.

These people are inextricably linked, don't talk about nepotism at this time, even if it is an alumnus after a few years, it can bring a little possibility of survival, and everyone will not let it go.

With a population of 350,000, in addition to residential areas, the city has three prosperous commercial streets, the first is a trade street based on mutant beast materials, firearms, and various materials, the second is a service street based on hotels, restaurants, bathing centers and other service industries, and the third is a third street based on casinos and erotic transactions. Yes, this street is called Third Street.

Scar Liu directly took Jiang Yuan and the two to the door of the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Yuan and the two of them were looking for people, so they must need the help of the people who managed the household registration of the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise there were 350,000 people, and I don't know when they would find out.
