"Those chambers of commerce have built a lot of factories in Fancheng in recent years, they need a lot of labor, and the goods produced by the factories need a market, so not only a few of our strongholds, but also all the self-sufficient residential strongholds around Fancheng that can produce products for sale, have accidents one after another, either mutated creatures, or wandering raiders passing by, where is there such a coincidence", Jin Ke gritted his teeth, "Everyone knows in their hearts that it must be related to the business association, but there is nothing they can do but live first." ”

"According to what you say, it is true that the business alliance has a great opportunity", Lin Ze thought for a moment, the energy of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is indeed very large, it has only been a few days, and even the passers-by in Fan City know the name of the ski chair caravan, and it is not surprising that they have done such a thing.

"And now, where are my mom and my younger siblings?" Ladia cares more about this.

"The surviving people of several strongholds near us are gathered together, we found an abandoned residential community to live in the abandoned city, and then usually do odd jobs in several nearby factories to survive, I came out to buy some food this time", Jin Ke sighed, there is no stronghold, no products, can only sell cheap labor, the purpose of the business association has been achieved, "The house in the port area of Fancheng is too expensive, and we don't want to lose our freedom to live in the factory area, so we can only find a place to live in the waste city first." ”

"Abandoned city, how can you live there, gunmen, mercenaries, raiders, you can hear gunfire almost every few steps, there is a fight every day, how can people live in that kind of place!" Lydia was shocked, the ruined city is the old city, the ruins of the forgotten city, there is no order, only war, "Take me there!" ”

Lin Ze thought about it and nodded, "Let's go to the place where you live first." ”

Before the disaster, Sail City could be regarded as the largest and most prosperous city in the western continent, but now, the huge and dilapidated high-rise buildings, the paths overgrown with barren grass between the cracks, the various sand bags stacked irregularly in the shadows, and the iron sheets covered with gun holes, are full of these things.

Just a few steps into the abandoned city, the second floor of the dilapidated building on the side of the road directly dropped a grenade silently, but in mid-air it turned strangely and flew to a mound of dirt and exploded, "The second floor on the right, be careful!" Lin Ze kept on guard, and waited until those peepers really made a move, and then beckoned Lydia and the little boy to do it.

"Da Da Da ~" The turret on the roof of the carriage was not destroyed by the grenade that wanted to sneak attack, and the powerful fire directly hit the debris on the building, and those attackers were completely crushed and couldn't raise their heads, hiding behind the bunker and shooting blindly

There were still people hiding on the left, Lin Ze clearly found them, but it didn't seem to be the same as the ones on the right, they showed no signs of moving, just quietly watching and waiting in the dark.

Leaving four corpses behind, the attackers in the building on the right scattered and hid in the depths of the building, Lin Ze and his party could only sigh to themselves and continue to go on the road carefully.

"Damn, it's too dangerous here, how can you stay here all the time!" Lydia looked worriedly at the iron barrel gun in Jinke's hand.

"I've been living there for almost two years, and when I first came, there were more than 300 people, but now there are less than 200 left, and most of the men go out to work, and there are only more than 100 people left, mostly women, the elderly and children", Jin Ke would not have gone to the Fancheng port area to buy food if he hadn't just gotten paid some time ago.

"Why don't you go back, the land is empty over there."

"I can't go back, here the business alliance can't launch an attack on a certain building, and it can't attract mutated creatures and armed artillery fire, the terrain here is complicated, the forces are even more complicated, because of chaos, so there is a chance to survive."

Is there a street battle in the city, Lin Ze understands that the large-scale artillery fire here cannot be accurately located, and the spatial structure is complex, and it is impossible to prevent falling objects from high altitudes when driving armored vehicles or something, etc., even the survival of residents is also too difficult.

"Here, you wait, I'll go first, or you'll be attacked," Kim said as he slipped through a gap under a broken building, and it wasn't long before he stood on the steps in front of him and beckoned.

Here is a typical urban garden residential area, the overall layout of the hollow shape, the middle is the garden, the four buildings around it are connected into one, the hollow word is missing a corner as the entrance of the community, the entrance is at the height of the side of the path, to go up from the steps, the side of the steps artificially piled out a slope path.

The terrain is good, good for defense, the surrounding roads are blocked by all kinds of waste, armored vehicles cannot enter, the foundation of the community is high, the entrance is also covered with walls and bunkers, and the adjacent buildings on both sides of the entrance are smashed out of several holes in the outer walls, which become natural guard towers.

"Lydia, where is my Lydia", a Ryder woman suddenly ran over and hugged Lydia, who must have been her mother.

Lin Ze's motorcycle and carriage are parked in the garden in the middle of the community, there is not much space here, there are many stem potatoes planted, and there are many sand bags piled up as bunkers, Ledia is gathering with her family, Lin Ze is thinking about the next plan, the business association has spread the name of the snow chair caravan, and he has entrusted the spies of the sister to walk the snow chair caravan to the vicinity of the sail city in a vain attempt to open the news of the market, then next, it is necessary to set up a contact point in a fixed place, Make sure that if a companion can hear about the snowboard caravan, they can find a point of contact and get in touch with you.

"I'm sorry, I was excited just now", Lydia found Lin Ze sitting on the side in a daze.

"It's okay, it's normal for the family to reunite", Lin Ze came back to his senses, "Since you're home, can you do me a favor?" ”

"Of course, but I'm afraid we can't ...... the current situation here" Lydia was a little ashamed, she had sworn that coming to her hometown would help Lin Ze open up a trade route.

"Oh, it's not this, I want to take care of the team and the little guy for the time being, I'll go to Fancheng alone to have a look", Lin Ze didn't say his thoughts directly, he wanted to set up a contact point to investigate the situation in Xiafancheng first, how to set up this contact point, whether it was a shop or a stronghold, he was going to investigate it first, "Oh, by the way, you can use whatever the things in the car are." ”

"Don't worry about this, no problem!" ……

Without delay, Lin Ze took a moment to change his outfit and set off, he is now wearing a bulletproof helmet, as well as a pair of transparent windproof goggles, which are lenses made of translucent resin, with black eyebrow line frames, and his clothes have also been changed into ordinary residents' leather jackets and leather trousers, and on the belt is a point 45 semi-automatic pistol fighter, the pistol is inconspicuous, plus a sharp dagger, Lin Ze made a lot of T4 metal a few days ago, and there is a waist bag with a metal kettle, and the long sword is withdrawn into the inner field.

There had been no surprise attacks on the road they had traveled before, and it was clear that a poor wanderer would not be a target for those in the buildings on either side.

The port area, that is, the caravan's mouth of the new sail city, is very neatly planned, the main building is a terraced building on the sea side, each floor is divided into many small rooms, this is a shop, the building is made of the moon elf kind of white building materials, the whole looks like a stadium stand from a distance.

"It's a rich man's paradise, isn't it? The sun, the sea, the white house", a woman wearing a blue dress and showing her shoulders stood beside Lin Ze and sighed softly, "People can't feel the existence of the crystal ruins at all, what do you think, Lord Lin Ze?" ”

"Snitch?" Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, and finally saw some familiar outlines from that clean and beautiful face.

"You're a snitch, bastard! Dress like a person. ”

"What do you mean by being like a person?" Lin Ze was puzzled.

"Aren't you the aberrant of some kind of mutant monkey, that's what Sister Demon said", Erin didn't hesitate to betray the young lady who often lay in bed.

"Hehe, the next time I see her, I'll tell her well, how do you know I'm here?"

"Don't underestimate our Ghost-Eyed Sisterhood," Erin whispered, adding silently in her heart, even though she had been swept around the southern continent, "We received the news when you first arrived in the suburbs, and I just happened to be waiting for you here, it seems that you went to that Rydell stronghold, right?" ”

"You take me here first, it's my first time here, especially the store, introduce me to it", now even the guide is saved, the sister is really well-informed, and I have seen it again, Lin Ze was a little hesitant in his heart, no, I have to observe again.

Looks like this is the weapon master? In the shadows, a pair of eyes left Erin's back and turned to Lin Ze, following this woman from the Sisterhood was indeed right, but it didn't look like ah, so young, and there didn't seem to be a firearm on his body, could he be mistaken?

The man in the shadows quietly retreated, Lin Ze tilted his head slightly, and the corner of his eyes glanced towards the shadow where the treacherous spy was just now, who could the stalker be, and his target was the female snitch or himself?

Without a sound reminder, Lin Ze silently followed Erin up the stairs of the area where the store was located, and when he got closer, he realized that the space here was huge, especially the shop at the bottom of the "terraces", the internal space was huge, and it was easy to understand, the front was terraced layer by layer, and the back was a vertical wall, which looked like a right-angled triangle from the side, and the natural bottom space was large.

"At the bottom are the shops of the Law Academy, the Control Federation and several large chambers of commerce, and the entire shop area can be understood in this way, the lower the position, the bigger the background", the female snitch still explained in a very responsible low voice.

"Didn't they fight as soon as they met, how could they still be on the same floor?"

"This is only the western continent, the Law Institute and the Control Federation have only a small branch here, there are not many people, they want to play and score points, it is not as exaggerated as the outside world says, okay, the shop is generally introduced, you have time to walk around slowly by yourself in the future, follow me!" After only a few steps, the female snitch was revealed.

Erin took Lin Ze from the alley behind a tavern not far from the main building, entered a residential building, walked in the aisle, and heard all kinds of inappropriate voices in his ears, Lin Ze was fiercely calm.

"The more complicated the place, the more hidden," Erin's face could not be seen clearly in the dim aisle, and she explained in a whispered and hurried.

"I understand, no wonder you're dressed like this, lead the way."

Erin clenched her fists quietly, she really wanted to grit her teeth and turn around to give Lin Ze such a punch to the head, I wear this has nothing to do with coming here, bastard, I endure it~

Erin pushed open a door to a room on the second floor, and inside was a simple hotel room, with a large bed, a lamp, and a cupboard, and many thin pieces of cloth of different colors were thrown on the bed.

"Don't look around, over here!" Erin swept away all kinds of small clothes on the bed and lifted the mattress, revealing a secret door, "The room in this position on the first floor has been treated, separated by a compartment of staircase width, and you can't find anything strange without careful comparison, come on, the underground of the hotel is the secret stronghold of our sorority Fan City, and ordinary people would never think that the entrance to the basement will be on the second floor instead of the first floor." ”

Well, I really can't think of it, Lin Ze secretly complained that this rat has a level and depth.

"Welcome to the Sorority," Erin greeted with open arms, "and there is an exit to the tavern's cellar, but it is crowded with people now, so I have to take the secret passages. ”

You win, Lin Ze quietly rolled his eyes, just now he had a careful introduction to how the entrance to the second floor was secret, it turned out to be just an escape route.

"Our sorority has already got the production line of that kind of bullet, I don't know if Lin Ze is interested?" Erin finally got down to business, she took a bottle of sparkling drink and put it in front of Lin Ze.

"I'm not interested, I don't need bullets much."

"That's right, our Sisterhood is ready to fully display your pocket monsters, I don't know what you think?"

"If you like it, does it have anything to do with me?" The corners of Lin Ze's mouth curved upward.

"Uh~ this, can we order a large batch of barrels from you?" Erin saw Lin Ze's appearance that the oil and salt did not enter, so she could only tell the truth, if it was the kind of barrel of the Electric Yuan Church, it would be reluctant, but in the final analysis, the price of T2 materials is higher than that of T4 materials, coupled with the technical processing price of the Electric Yuan Church, not to mention the high cost, the quality is far inferior, this is thankless, "We produce materials, can you process them?" ”

"Oops, this, it's very laborious to make the barrel~"

"Just say what you want?" Erin gritted her teeth.

"I want to open a gun shop in Sail City, do you have a solution? small shops are fine", and the previous headache will be easily solved.

"Shop, those people from the Chamber of Commerce will make you close down, don't you know that this is the base camp of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!" Erin was surprised, Lin Ze didn't look like a fool, "As long as they buy your gun back, and then use the recaster to make it, and sell it at a low price by relying on the advantage of low-cost raw materials, the guns in your store can't be sold at all!" You won't be unclear about such a simple truth. ”

"I naturally know, but I know it in my heart, so you just say it's okay, right?" The shop and the contact point can be easily combined, and to be honest, Lin Zecai doesn't care if he loses money or not, he didn't have a sorority before, and he wasn't sure about the plan, but now he has decided to get a shop.

"This ...... Don't tell me, we really have a small shop, which is the sorority's client's reception on the surface. ”
