Chapter 199: The Squadron Leader of the Nest
Under the leadership of Qiu Mei, Fang Hao walked around the city and visited the planning and layout of Haotian City.
Compared with the high city wall, the buildings in Haotian City are too low, most of the houses are three or four floors, and at most there are no more than ten floors, it may be that at the beginning of the construction of the city, they have foreseen that the power will be insufficient in the future, the building is too high, and the elevator cannot be used, so it is very sad.
Whether it is a three-storey building, or a four-storey or five-story building, there is only one kind of house in each area, which is neat and tidy, and very beautiful.
The reason why Haotian City is called a big city is that of course the city is not full of houses, in addition to residential areas, there are also commercial areas, entertainment areas, and even schools and hospitals.
Each of the two districts is separated by a large or small square, and there is a green belt around the square, planted with trees and flowers, which in the last days is very luxurious.
"There's a river in this city?" Fang Hao was walking forward, and suddenly saw a small river, obviously, this is an artificial river.
"Not only are there rivers, but there are also two artificial lakes in the city." Yun Lei has been here before, and then the interface said.
Fang Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these people in the city really know how to play.
Walking in Haotian City, except for these pedestrians who were dressed a little shabby, at first glance, he really thought that this was a peaceful and prosperous world, not a zombie-ridden apocalypse.
"City Lord Fang, City Lord Yun, where are you going to live? There is a guest house in the City Lord's Mansion that specializes in hospitality, and there are also privately run hotels below, the conditions are average, Yun Lei generally lives in my house, I don't think you can still live in my house, right? ”
Fang Hao smiled: "Forget it, I won't bother you, we can still find a hotel to live in, and it's more convenient to go out shopping or something." ”
The first time Fang Hao came to Haotian City, he must have to come out and visit often, if he lived in the deputy city lord's house, it would be very inconvenient to go in and out.
"That's okay, when you are like glue, I won't force you, but if you have time in the past two days, you must come over." Qiu Mei is very interesting.
Qiu Mei quickly found a hotel for Fang Hao and them, settled Fang Hao and a few people to live, and then reluctantly left, these days, she has eaten a lot of fresh things from Fang Hao, and she is really a little inseparable from Fang Hao and them.
Haotian City is a big city after all, although the transportation is inconvenient, but many people pour into the city every day, and the business of the hotel is still good. Fang Hao asked for two rooms on the second floor, one large and one small, he and Yun Lei lived in a large one, and Zitong lived in a small one.
Although it was very hard along the way and they didn't sleep well, the three of them were all evolutionaries, and their physical strength and spirit far surpassed ordinary people, and as soon as Qiu Mei left, Fang Hao took them to the street again.
I used to go shopping with Qiu Mei, just looking at the flowers and taking a few casual glances, but now the three of them came out, but they wanted to take a closer look, listen carefully, and have an in-depth understanding of Haotian City, as well as various rumors in recent times.
According to the usual practice, Fang Hao still went to the market first and bought some random things.
The market of Haotian City is much more standardized than that of Loulan City, there are shops on both sides of the street, and there are neat stalls in the middle, although the goods are not very good, but they have a good appearance.
Fang Hao first glanced at the stalls and found that there were no good goods, of course, it could be that his identity was different now, and his vision was higher, anyway, there was nothing in these stalls that could catch his eyes.
Although there are many shops on both sides, the homogenization is also very serious, and there are only a limited number of them, which are nothing more than food stores, clothing stores, weapon stores, and grocery stores...... Wait a minute.
Food stores, clothing stores, weapon stores, these stores, Fang Hao didn't even have the interest to go in and take a look, the things sold here couldn't be compared to the things in his hands no matter what.
And these grocery stores that Fang Hao called are not actually called grocery stores, but all kinds of good-sounding and attractive store names.
Like what Treasure Pavilion, Qiju Liangpin, Tianxing Tower, in fact, if you really go in to take a look, you will find that most of the old goods sold in it are some old antiques that have been picked up from nowhere.
Fang Hao walked into a few stores at random, picked out a few antiques that looked more satisfactory, and then chatted with these stores for a while.
The clothes worn by Fang Hao and the three of them, even if they come to this big city, are still very conspicuous, there are no garment factories in the last days, many people wear clothes that are improvised, especially in the summer, just get a piece of animal skin to cover their bodies, only those who are particularly rich, or those with more noble status, will spend more effort on wearing clothes.
These shopkeepers saw that Fang Hao and the three of them were extraordinary, well-dressed, and generous, so they were very respectful to them and answered all questions.
"During this time, the business of these shops in the city is not bad, especially those weapon shops, I heard that the sales are full 30% higher than a while ago, and the profits have increased by nearly 50%......
"It's just that I heard that it's chaotic outside now, bandits are rampant, and the city lord has to send several teams of men and horses every day to patrol the surrounding areas outside the city to reassure the ......people."
In addition to these things that Fang Hao had already known, he also heard an unexpected news.
"This little brother, let me tell you quietly, a while ago, I saw a few blonde and blue-eyed Gentiles in the city, although they were covered with turbans, hehe, I still found them......"
As far as Fang Hao knew, on this continent, since the Great Tribulation, almost no one had seen foreigners, even the soldiers and civilians of Haotian City.
What is the situation with these foreigners who suddenly appeared?
A while ago, Fang Hao studied history books hard, and knew that in the northern part of this continent, which extends to the near North Pole, it is all land belonging to the Xia Kingdom, and there are no foreigners, only the extremely distant West will have foreigners, but because the road is too far, and the transportation in the last days is inconvenient, there is no communication between the East and the West.
However, this matter only caused a slight ripple in Fang Hao's heart, he felt that it was nothing, Haotian City was such a big city, even if a few foreigners came, it would not be a big deal.
He actually wanted to find out some things about the City Lord's Mansion from these vendors, or some decisions made by the City Lord's Mansion, but these vendors did not provide him with useful information.
Maybe this was because the City Lord's Mansion didn't allow the people below to spread rumors, or maybe the City Lord's Mansion did a good job of keeping secrets, in short, Fang Hao's hope of finding out the news from here was in vain.
But they didn't get nothing, Fang Hao and the others still got a lot of bits and pieces of information from these people, such as some hobbies about a certain deputy city lord, a certain senior official had just become embarrassed, and so on.
Coming out of this market, Fang Hao took Yun Lei and Zitong to the next place.
The layout of Haotian City is very artistic, and the commercial area and residential area are distinct, but the transition between the two areas is very smooth and not abrupt, and Fang Hao found that even shopping here is in a comfortable mood.
"There...... Also a residential area? Fang Hao pointed to a house next to the residential area and asked Yunlei.
The houses were lower than the residential area, all of them had only two floors, and were surrounded by a high iron fence.
"There is a barracks, the barracks in Haotian City are more formal, unlike our Loulan, when on duty, they are soldiers, when they are not on duty, they are people, the soldiers here are professional soldiers, if they don't die in battle, they will generally retire at the age of fifty, but few people can live to that time."
In the last days, no matter which city it is, when the tide of corpses comes, whether it is the army or the people, as long as they can hold swords and guns, regardless of men, women and children, all of them will go into battle to fight.
Of course, Haotian City is the same, however, the soldiers of Haotian City are stronger in combat and are the absolute main force in the defense of the city, and at the same time, there are more casualties in the battle than civilians.
Hearing Yun Lei talk about the barracks, Fang Hao suddenly remembered, when he came, Tang Dandan had confessed to him and asked him to visit her cousin for her, her cousin was a soldier in the Haotian City barracks.
"This happens to be the West (?) City (like this is also harmonious, hehe!) I really want CNMLGB! Of course, this scolding is certainly not the starting point. District, I went in to find someone, but this barracks didn't know if outsiders were allowed in. ”
Yun Lei said: "The barracks will definitely not allow outsiders to enter and exit casually, otherwise, I will go to Qiu Mei tomorrow and let her take us in?" ”
Fang Hao said: "I'll ask first, if I don't let in, then forget it." ”
Zitong volunteered at this time: "Brother Hao, let me ask." ”
Along the way, Zitong had no sense of presence by Fang Hao's side for the first time, this feeling was very bad, and now that she finally had a chance to perform, she definitely had to show it.
"Well, then you go over and ask, his name is Yan Jun, and he is the squadron leader of the Chengxi Barracks." Fang Hao nodded.
Zitong walked quickly across the wide road, came to the gate, said a few words to the two guards at the door, and then returned to Fang Hao's side.
"What's wrong?" Fang Hao saw Zitong's frowning and asked strangely.
Zitong replied: "Brother Hao, they said that the squadron leader of the Yan Army has just been withdrawn, and the people are not in the barracks, so they should be going home." ”
"Withdrawn? Didn't you say why it was withdrawn? Fang Hao said in surprise.
Zitong shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"Then did you ask where Yan Jun's family lives?" Fang Hao asked again.
In fact, Fang Hao felt a little strange in his heart, a professional soldier like Yan Jun, wasn't his home a barracks? How is it that in addition to the barracks, he has another home?
However, he didn't ask Zitong, and if he asked, it was in vain, and Zitong definitely didn't understand.
"Brother Hao, listen to me, the situation is like this......" Yun Lei had been to Haotian City before, and she knew a lot more than Fang Hao.
"What? Army (Okay!) Married? This...... There is still this thing in Haotian City! Fang Hao felt incredible.
Yun Lei felt that this was nothing: "Brother Hao, Haotian City is not as good as Loulan, it is not only a big city, but also the hope of mankind within thousands of miles around, its existence is of strategic significance, so there is absolutely no room for loss, this army (huh?) Marriage was established at the beginning of the city, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers defending the city, and it has been retained until now. ”
Fang Hao felt that the person who set this policy was really forward-looking and looked too far.
In the last days, most people's marriages are very unreliable, and Haotian City has done this trick, so that the soldiers of Haotian City can exert their maximum combat effectiveness when defending the city, which is really amazing.
"Brother Hao, I asked for his address, it's not far from here." Zitong Road.
Since this was the case, Fang Hao took the two of them and went straight to Yan Jun's house.
If you want to find someone to find an address in Haotian City, it is simply too easy, even if it is Fang Hao's first time, as long as he gets the address, he can easily find it without asking anyone.
"This is it!" Zitong pointed to the door number on a small courtyard, and the other party said.
Before Fang Hao could speak, he heard a burst of shouting and scolding from the courtyard.
"Lose money! If I don't lose money, I'll smash it all down! ”
"Damn, get the money!"
Fang Hao was stunned, what is the situation?
There was not only the sound of scolding, but also the sound of smashing things, and it was a mess.
"Let's go, go in and see what's going on." As soon as Fang Hao pushed the door, the door was hidden, and it opened suddenly.
There are so many houses and so many areas in Haotian City, and the houses are different from the houses, there are also high-end residential areas, and there are also slums, this residential area is an ordinary residential area, it is neither a rich area, nor a slum area, but a house where ordinary people live.
This area is all three-story small buildings, three-story small buildings, a bit like a townhouse, there are two gates, two small courtyards, each floor of the small building lives two households, one building is six households.
Although it looks a little crowded, don't forget, this is the end of the world, and in a city as big as Haotian City, it is already very good to have such housing.
As soon as Fang Hao and the others entered the door, they saw what was going on in the courtyard.
There were a total of four people in the courtyard.
In addition to the two gray-faced young men and women, there were also two young men with relatively strong physiques, and by looking at their expressions, they knew that these two young men had come to trouble this pair of young men and women.
"Who are you? What for? Get out and get out! Idle people and others go out! This is the place where you can see the excitement! One of the young men had a very arrogant attitude, and waved his hand at Fang Hao, as if he was chasing a few flies.
Fang Hao didn't know what the situation was, so he could only ask first, he asked with a smile, "Excuse me, which of you is called Yan Jun?" ”
"Yan Jun? What are you looking for him? Wouldn't it be owed to you too? Hahaha...... Yan Jun, you can really do it, all the creditors are blocking the door today! A young man laughed.
The young man with a gloomy face looked at Fang Hao again and again, and finally confirmed that he really didn't know him, so he said, "I am Yan Jun, may I ask how many of you are?" ”
Fang Hao felt very strange, wasn't Yan Jun a squadron leader?
Is there such a squadron leader?
Even if he has just been withdrawn, as a soldier and a petty officer, why did he become like this?
