Chapter 107: The West
I have to admit that if Mao Xiyu was not a barbarian, Zhang Taiyan would really fall in love with her, but the cruel reality does not allow this kind of love to happen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The offspring of female barbarians are only female barbarians, and there are many strange rules and legends, such as sucking a man dry in three years.
Mao Xiyu looked around, frowned, and said, "Why are we here?" ”
"Here?"
"The western region of the Human Alliance, a very desolate place, although there are human gathering points and small towns here, but there are still a lot of strange beasts around, those strange beasts are said to be mutated creatures caused by the excessive use of nuclear energy by humans in the last era, they may not be able to survive in the general environment, but they are very happy in the west."
Zhang Taiyan smiled and said: "But this place is also the location of the main mine of the Human Alliance, and the main object for making third-level ink, the ink oil mine is a specialty here, so the Human Alliance has stationed troops for a long time, and even sent a large number of immigrants from the interior to relocate to the west to live, forming a variety of small towns, but in the same way, bandits are rampant." ”
"According to the strength of you and me, what is a bandit? The bandits are basically swept by. ”
"But their bounties are also very high, ordinary bandits are one gold coin, if it is some boss, fifty gold coins each, and even more so one hundred gold coins."
"So how about we find a den of bandits and sweep through?"
"I don't know where the bandits are nesting, anyway, we have to find a city first, find a way to get something to eat, my stomach is empty, I can last a day or two at most, and if I don't have anything to eat, I won't be able to stand it."
The two of them walked and talked under the moon, the place was desolate, the trees were only poplars and cacti, and occasionally some lizards were spitting letters there, and when they saw the two of them, they immediately fled.
Zhang Taiyan's left hand brought a chuck, inserted the acceleration card, and with his right hand, he clamped the broken box assembled by the mini mecha on his right rib, and Mao Xiyu on the side carried a bone blade, and the speed of the two was barely comparable.
"You're going to get me a hooded robe over there, I don't want to be found out I'm an undead, and I don't like people staring into my ears."
"By the way, I have one thing that I have wanted to ask you for a long time."
"What's the matter?"
"Do fox people have fox tails?"
Mao Xiyu smiled, looked at Zhang Taiyan, and then said, "Didn't you see enough that day?" ”
"No, that's not what I meant."
"Well, I know, you don't really have this kind of thinking in this wooden head, forget it, there is, but I hid it."
"That's right."
"Next time, don't ask other half-people this kind of question, you'll be flattened."
In Mao Xiyu's eyes, male barbarians are often barbarians, but female barbarians will call them half-humans, probably this is the contradiction between barbarians.
After a night of traveling, when the sun rose and the first glimmer of light appeared, the two saw a small town three miles away and hurried over. When it was about to arrive, Mao Xiyu said to Zhang Taiyanna: "You went over and tried to buy some clothes and the like, I can't go in for the time being." ”
"Okay, I got it."
...
When you step through the gates of the town, the sun is fully up.
Zhang Taiyan saw an old man opening the door of his shop, and then strode forward and said to the old man: "Hello, old man, may I ask what kind of place is this?" ”
The old man glanced at Zhang Taiyan and said, "This is the western part of the Human Alliance, Saran Town, do you have anything to do?" ”
Zhang Taiyan said: "That's right, I'm a traveler, I'm separated from my friends, and I have spent all my money, can I ask if I can find those odd jobs here?" ”
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "I still think you are called Hanako, you look like you have a little strength, you can go to be a miner, go to dig ink mines, eat and live, and have fifty silver coins a day." If you sign up, after half past eight, go to the mine at the back of the town to register. ”
Zhang Taiyan was silent for a moment and asked, "So what time is it?" ”
The old man looked at Zhang Taiyan like an idiot and replied, "It's the beginning of July." ”
Zhang Taiyan nodded, he had been out of the army for more than half a month, and when the battle first occurred, it was only the beginning of June, and now it was actually a contract, which made people a little depressed.
Slowly wandering around the town, I found a grocery store, and saw a soft hat on the shelf, much like the one Mao Xiyu used to wear, but gray.
"How much does this hat cost?"
"Fifty silver coins."
"Well, yes, how much does that backpack cost?"
"Backpack?" The boss glanced at the oversized mountaineering bag behind him and said, "This is expensive, three gold coins and fifty silver coins." ”
"Okay, I'll buy it."
After taking out four gold coins, he took out his backpack and hat, and bought some dry food, clothing, etc., and the money in the money bag was thirty-two gold coins, and there were eighty gold coins in the bank card, but in such a desolate place as the west, the bank card was useless.
After buying all the utensils, he left the town, went to a small cave outside the town, handed the soft hat to Mao Xiyu, asked her to put it on, ate dry food and other things, and then changed his clothes in turn, and the clothes worn by the two of them were already in tatters, especially Mao Xiyu. Zhang Taiyan also has a mecha body protector to protect his clothes from wind and rain. But she was not so lucky, and there were a few laughing holes in the clothes on her body, and she could vaguely see the white body inside.
After changing, Mao Xiyu covered half of his face with a hat, still pretending to be a tomboy, as for Zhang Taiyan, he still looked normal.
"What are you going to do during this time?"
"I need to work to earn money."
"Huh? Earn money by working part-time? Are you sick? It's enough for us to make a casual card. ”
"The question is, do you think that in such a desolate place, where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, our cards can be sold?"
"This.."
"The most expensive thing in this town, I asked, is a steak set of ten gold coins, which is usually eaten on birthdays, and uses light bulbs that generate electricity from wind energy."
"Light bulbs? So old stuff? ”
"That's right, paper money is used more here, and the objects used are not like cards like the imperial capital, maybe the people here don't even know what the chuck is."
"So you..."
"That's right, part-time work, there will be a big bus passing by here every four months, which can take us to the largest provincial capital in the west, so that we can go to the imperial capital."
