0038 The Road to Fire II

Soon after, a small town appeared in view, and according to the map, it was "Fanny Town".

Before leaving, Yun Qi had repeatedly told him not to expose his whereabouts around other towns, which involved a series of unspoken rules for wilderness traffic.

Each town has its own sphere of influence, which is generally marked, and any act of entering the sphere of influence with a thermal weapon will be considered a provocation, and the town forces will take the initiative to attack such people.

Only scavengers can move freely between the towns, because the scavengers are basically at the bottom of the biological chain of this wasteland, and they are the objects of exploitation by the major towns.

One of the most obvious features is that they usually use discarded weapons or homemade weapons, not because they can't afford blades, but because they are afraid of being coveted.

Passing by like Cen Mu will inevitably stimulate the patrols in the town, not to mention whether he will be used as a spy for other forces, his equipment alone will cause people to think, especially if he is still a cripple.

In fact, the town of Fanny has become accustomed to passers-by passing by, and they usually have several plans in place to carry out inspections.

On the route planned by Cen Mu, this town is a must-pass, a shortcut to the Black Rock Mountain, cutting through its western edge, because the west side of the town is adjacent to a large 'Black Water Marsh', which is notorious and almost an insurmountable moat for the current Cen Mu; And if it is bypassed from the east, it will be at least eight kilometers more than the distance (Fanny Town's defense area in the east is wider than that of ordinary towns), and with Cen Mu's current foot strength, it will take at least an hour more, which may make it impossible for Cen Mu to complete the first day of action planning.

So, this road is very tangled.

Cen Mu wanted to speed up as much as possible while the mist had not yet cleared, but his idea was obviously too naΓ―ve, because no matter how he went, he would be stopped.

In the distance, someone walked towards this side and yelled at Cen Mu: "Stop! Who are you! ”

At such a distance, only vague figures can be seen between each other, and of course, for people with excellent eyesight, nothing is an obstacle.

They held the gun in both hands, the muzzle was pressed down, and it was not aimed at Cen Mu, this is the unspoken rule of the wilderness, to avoid overreaction between strangers, and the gun is misfired, but if you naively think that this state is safe, then you are not far from death, for a clever gunman, raising the gun to shoot is a matter of a few tenths of a second.

Cen Mu turned around slowly, the long Thor revealed its domineering appearance, he clamped the two crutches under his armpits, supported his body, and then stared at each other coldly, making a movement that passed by.

One of the gunmen in the distance whispered, "Wow! Terry, he's well equipped! Such a long sniper rifle! ”

After a pause, he added: "It's just a cripple, do you want to ......?"

Terry hurriedly stopped him and said, "No! Sucre! Don't move your guns! ”

Sucre turned his head strangely to look at his companion, only to see that this teammate, who was usually ten times stronger than him, was sweating profusely, standing in place, nervously paying attention to the every move of the opposite side, his body swaying slightly, as if he was under heavy pressure and could collapse at any time.

Cen Mu tilted the corners of his mouth, showed a strange smile, turned around, leaned on crutches, and continued to walk.

At this moment, Terry gradually returned to normal, and a hint of blush appeared on his face, which was a sign of excessive physical exertion.

Su Kelei saw Cen Mu's back and said tentatively: "Hey! What a chance! We shoot at the same time, we can definitely take him out! ”

Terry said coldly: "You want to die, don't pull me, go by yourself!" ”

Sucre said unhappily, "Terry, what do you mean?" The squad leader is amazing?! Just like you, in front of that person just now, you didn't perform as well as me. ”

Terry sneered, "yes! So, it's me who has the occult 'danger perception' and you don't, because you don't feel at all! ”

Sucre's face turned ugly, and he watched Terry leave silently, finally suppressing the idea of a sneak attack.

After an encounter, it quietly subsided, I don't know whether to say that Cen Mu was lucky, or that these two people were lucky.

Soon, Cen Mu left Fanni Town far behind, and walked another twenty-five kilometers, today's task was almost over, in a straight line, he approached the Black Stone Mountain for twenty-five kilometers, and Cen Mu almost had to walk nearly forty kilometers.

The location of Cen Mu's plan was to choose "Bounty Town", which sits in the middle of a wasteland known as "Barrenland", at the intersection of the crossroads, it has no water, no farmland, only mercenaries from various places.

Ten years ago, a man named Franklin established an inn there, and ten years later, the inn developed into a small town, and Franklin became the mayor of the town, and named it "Bounty Town", it gradually became a distribution center and trading market for the surrounding missions, and it was the most famous and powerful town within a hundred miles.

Unlike other private towns, Bounty Town welcomes the able-bounty and allows people to bring weapons into the town, but you must follow the rules of Bounty Town, and as long as you have the money, you can buy a variety of services there.

Cen Mu walked boringly for five hours on the unchanging wasteland, his backpack was filled with no less than 21 spoils worth 21 star energy points, and some wounds were added to his body, the shallow wounds had healed, the blood scabs fell naturally while walking, only the wounds of the severed limbs were still recovering, and there was a tingling sensation constantly, his severed limbs were pierced by the fangs of a wild boar, and the blood flowed endlessly, but fortunately, the lizard physique had an effect, and the injuries were quickly controlled.

Not only does this damn beast have rough skin and thick flesh, but it also knows how to attack human weaknesses! Cen Mu was very smart.

Approaching dusk, the haze is getting thicker, the sky gets dark quickly, and the inexplicable cries around are coming and going, which makes people palpitate, the night of the wasteland is far more dangerous than the day, because the creatures that dare to appear at night are by no means ordinary creatures, and Cen Mu is still far from the extent that he can cross the wilderness.

Finally, just before the wasteland was about to fall into darkness, a little bright light pierced through the fog and appeared in front of Cen Mu's vision, and his tense spirit relaxed a little......

As Cen Mu gradually approached, a little bright light dispersed into a dense mass of large and small points of light, and a large market with a radius of one kilometer appeared in front of everyone, this town was really peculiar, because it did not have any protective walls, and all the buildings were directly exposed to the wasteland.

There are some crude tents on the periphery, most of the tents are sewn up with tattered fur, and it is rare to see the tents made of canvas, and the larger tents hang a dim dead wind lamp, exposing the surrounding dirty, messy and smelly environment, and the black wilderness wanderers handed curious glances to Cen Mu, and when they saw the sniper behind him, there was a trace of awe in their eyes.

If you look ahead, you can see some wooden buildings, which are in better condition and much cleaner. Further in, you can see the sturdy houses made of bricks and tiles, which is the heart of the town, and the most prosperous, with its glamorous lights and charming eyes.

Seeing this progressive living environment, it is not difficult to guess the reason inside.

Building a house in the middle of the wasteland without building a wall shows that the confidence in one's own force has reached a certain level.

The surrounding scavengers kept moving closer to the town, staying on the periphery, and clinging to this thick thigh, but unfortunately this thigh did not take these people into account at all, and would not expel them, because when encountering a beast tide, they would be the first warning line, and the scavengers did not care about the attitude of the town, for them, this neighborhood was much safer than the rest of the wilderness, that was enough, as for those companions who were taken away by predators at night, they could only blame him for his bad luck and running too slowly.

Cen Mu walked into the center of the town under the curious and strange eyes of a group of scavengers.

Two wide, cross-roads, paved with stones, are concentrated in the most prosperous part of the town, with hotels, snack bars, bars, pawnshops, mercenary guilds, gun shops, weapons shops, and even a well-fashioned bank.

Cen Mu took a moment to walk through the two streets and had a preliminary understanding of Bounty Town.

Franklin, no wonder he stands tall in the wilderness, this man does have a bit of courage and vision, judging from the layout of the town, you can see his layout ideas.

First, the overall commercial layout of the town follows certain norms, the north of the town is all kinds of weapon shops, the south is bars and hotels, the east is the residence of the management class and the mercenary guild, and the west is a snack street, this centralized layout of the same industry not only improves the competitiveness of peers, but also gathers popularity, and the arrangement is reasonable.

Second, there are some institutions that "shouldn't be there" in the wilderness, such as banks, mints, mercenary guilds, police stations, schools, hospitals, and so on.

The small town of less than 1.5 square kilometers actually contains the rudiments of financial, judicial, educational and medical systems, which is clearly on the line of urbanization. Maybe the scale is not as big as Jingo Town, but in another ten years, it will be difficult to say.

Peering into the layout of the town, Cen Mu was keenly aware that Franklin coincided with himself in terms of ideas and ideas, and he had already walked on the road, leaving himself far away, Cen Mu couldn't help but have a strong interest in this wilderness legend, this person was very familiar, because Cen Mu found that the head printed on the big copper coin was the same as the bronze statue of Franklin in the center of the town.

It is speculated that the currency of the surrounding 100 kilometers is probably controlled and issued by Bounty Town, and the value of the currency is controlled by Franklin.

Although Cen Mu's current identity is not qualified to talk about cooperation with him, Cen Mu wants to talk to him, and the two have the same idea, so they may collide with some sparks.

In any case, Cen Mu decided to finish the task at hand first, going to Blackstone Mountain was a top priority, and when he came back from there, he could try to mix in the town for a while and look for opportunities.

Soon, Cen Mu found a hotel and asked for a single room, and the hotel also provided paid hosting services to compensate for the loss and damage of objects, which made Cen Mu feel a sense of novelty and security.

After taking a hot bath and expelling the fatigue of the day, Cen Mu finished decomposing all the things he hunted today and harvested 23 points of star energy.

Then, Cen Mu threw himself on the bed and fell asleep......
