The Peishan Gathering Area, like Xingcheng, is also a large gathering place.

However, this is not a military district station, but is built on the basis of an original mountain city. The area is very large and is divided into the central district, the inner city and the outer city.

The central area of the central area is naturally occupied by a small number of people with status and status. The vast majority of survivors live in the inner and outer cities.

Of course, as the end times progressed, the size of the large settlements became larger and the population increased.

Compared with Zhipeishan, because there are few large gathering places around that can divert the population, the development momentum here is much faster than that of Zhixingcheng. The scale has reached 500,000 people, which can be regarded as a small city.

In the inner and outer parts of the city, there are a variety of shops, and there are even many factories that have collected original industrial equipment. It has restored a certain material production capacity to human society, and also has a relatively complete social system.

Moreover, with the introduction of system bills to protect those who are able to protect in major gathering places, the security problem has also been basically alleviated.

It's just that according to the rules, when you enter the city, you still need to register.

However, this registration is only symbolic, and in terms of gathering places, it is not mandatory for those who have the ability to register what kind of ability they have, or how many abilities they have.

This is naturally to prevent the registration personnel from leaking the information of the competent person and causing trouble.

After all, it is impossible to eradicate sin before the end of the world, let alone in this age, once rare power is leaked, it will definitely cause life worries.

And the kind of person who has no foundation, but has rare ability. As long as you have a little brain, you won't reveal it.

Li Mo and Ma Xiaolan. and Snake Si and his party, after arriving at the Peishan gathering place. The registration was quickly completed in accordance with the rules. They were also given a white badge with the logo of the Peishan Gathering Place.

It is a status symbol, representing the identity of the person they are capable of.

Out of the gate, Li Mo stopped and looked at the two of them, and said lightly: "Now that we have arrived in Peishan, it is also time for us to part ways, so take care of those two." ”

But when the words fell, Ma Xiaolan and Snake Si were dumbfounded.

Especially Ma Xiaolan, she was pulled back by Li Mo from the ghost gate. And because of Li Mo, he got a kind of ability pituitary gland.

Although Li Mo only promised to take her here after rescuing her before. But when Li Mo really proposed to go their own way, he really couldn't accept it for a while.

And Snake Si was even more surprised by this, because Li Mo gave Chen Liang's pituitary gland to Ma Xiaolan, and he knew it very well.

During a battle with insect corpses on the road, Ma Xiaolan used metal abilities.

It was also from that time that Snake Si re-examined the relationship between this disfigured girl with two big scars on her face and Li Mo.

But who knew that now, Li Mo is actually going to part ways with Ma Xiaolan.

This made Snake Four feel dizzy. In his heart, he called Li Mo's style of acting too evil.

Looking at Ma Xiaolan again, looking at Li Mo's indifferent face, I felt very uncomfortable. After a short period of deliberation, he asked, "Brother Li, do you have any plans in the future?" ”

Li Mo understood her thoughts. He said: "I'm just passing through Peishan, and I'll leave after a few days of rest." ”

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaolan and Snake Si were taken aback again. This year. You don't want to find a place to settle down, but you still have to run around.

However, Ma Xiaolan quickly made up her mind. But said: "Anyway, I'm alone, so let's follow you, big brother." ”

Just when this is said. But her nervous heart reached her throat.

But if it were something else, Li Mo might still be able to agree, and it would be a big deal to take her back to Xingcheng.

But when he wants to go to W City this time, it is absolutely impossible to take Ma Xiaolan with him.

So Li Mo refused very simply and straightforwardly: "No need, it's better for you to stay here." ”

When Ma Xiaolan heard this, she suddenly felt sour.

But the snake saw that Li Mo was very resolute, but he had some ideas, and hurriedly said: "I plan to form a mercenary team here this time, if Miss Ma is interested, can you consider joining?" ”

Mercenary is a profession that has emerged as the population of large agglomerations has grown, and it is also developing very well.

And at present, in the major gathering places, the mercenary system has been completely legalized.

Although Snake Four now has dozens of people and twenty or thirty guns. But they are all people who know their roots, and if they want to form a mercenary team, of course, there is no problem.

Therefore, if Ma Xiaolan joins, then the strength of the team will naturally increase significantly.

It's just that although he thinks well, Ma Xiaolan is not willing at all.

It is very difficult for people in the last days to establish a relationship of trust, she is alone, who knows if the snake four is still worried about her own ability pituitary gland.

Besides, Ma Xiaolan is a mind that only wants to follow Li Mo. I also let it go out and decided to stalk it.

So she didn't pay attention to Snake Si's invitation at all, just looked at Li Mo, and said very resolutely: "Brother Li, since you want to rest for a few days, then I still have to follow you first." ”

Li Mo's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he said in his heart why he hadn't seen it before, this girl still had the potential of maltose.

But Ma Xiaolan didn't give him a chance to refuse at all this time, and said, "Brother Li, I know that you don't want to repay me at all for saving me." But do you think I can be at ease if I let you go like this? I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be by your side these days, even if it's just to be a servant and serve you for a few days, and my heart will be more comfortable. Do you want to refuse even this little request? ”

Li Mo looked at her aggrieved and resolute look, which really made her laugh and cry.

He naturally knew that Ma Xiaolan was playing a delaying tactic with himself.

But everyone has talked about this, and it's not good for me not to give face. Otherwise, in this gathering place, if she followed her wholeheartedly, could she still kill her?

And when I left, it was very simple to get rid of her.

So Li Mo nodded and replied lightly: "Then let it be." ”

As soon as I heard this. Snake Four realized that his thoughts had been in vain. Don't be an eyesore with this, so he said goodbye: "Since that's the case." Then I'll go first. Brother Li, Miss Ma. Our meeting is fate, and I hope we can meet again in the future. ”

Li Mo nodded at him, didn't say much, and left directly with Ma Xiaolan.

Entering the Peishan gathering place, you can see that the city is prosperous, and the survivors on the streets are endless.

The current Peishan has basically completed the construction, and there is no big difference from the one Li Mo visited before the rebirth.

He knows the way he knows. Soon found an exchange office in the outer city, and exchanged a worm crystal for some common currencies issued by Peishan.

Since insect crystals can extract the evolution fluid of subspecies, making it a new straining commodity, all major gathering places are buying it.

However, due to the extraction method of insect crystals, it is much more complicated than evolutionary crystallization. Therefore, even if ordinary people know the formula, it is difficult to complete the extraction.

Therefore, the gathering place only needs to strictly control the ingredients used in the extraction formula, and it can naturally profit from it.

For example, here in Peishan, if a mercenary team obtains worm crystals. You can only go to the official exchange office to exchange for evolution liquid.

However, if you pay a certain amount of worm crystals, you can only get one-third of the amount of evolution liquid. The rest, naturally, are exploited by the agglomeration.

But there is no way to do it, otherwise the worm crystal will remain in his hand. You can't extract it yourself, what's the use of keeping it.

And the means of controlling the mercenaries in the gathering place is not only this.,Elemental liquid that promotes evolution.。 This is also how it is redeemed.

Therefore, mercenaries can be said to exist at the bottom of the evolutionary industrial chain, and they can only exist through the raw materials in their hands. to get a finished product with a very small share.

Look at the front again, the currency has been exchanged. Li Mo was ready to find a temporary place to live.

Of course, he won't stay in Peishan for too long, he just doesn't want to enter W City too early.

After all, with the birth of various insect evolutions, the danger of the former city has also increased significantly, and it is impossible for him to run to the city early in the morning and wait.

However, Li Mo did not plan to enter the central area or the inner city, and prepared to settle in the outer city.

Although the first two areas are more comfortable, the abilities, evolutionaries, and various powerful figures are piled together, and there are many troubles accordingly.

It's just that he and Ma Xiaolan just got out of the exchange office, but they saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy chasing after him.

"Sir, you've just arrived at our gathering place, do you need a guide?"

Li Mo's eyes looked at the boy, he was dressed in tattered clothes and trousers, his body was emaciated, he was malnourished at first glance, and he belonged to the kind of person who stayed in a place like the exchange house all day to beg for a living.

And his so-called guide is nothing more than helping the newcomers to run before and after, helping the merchants in the city to pull business, and earn some intermediate fees from it.

However, if you want to be this kind of guide, you must also have an eye, at least to see what class the guest belongs to.

But the kid in front of him didn't even have the qualifications to enter the inner city by himself, but he wanted to be a guide for Li Mo and Ma Xiaolan, two capable people, so he naturally looked away.

But it's no wonder that he, it's not easy to come out and do this kind of fact at a young age. What's more, Li Mo didn't bring the badge given to him by the registration office at all.

He has always been low-key, and he is just a passerby, so naturally he will not do the kind of thing that swaggers through the market with a badge.

And if he doesn't bring it, then Ma Xiaolan won't bring it.

So the boy obviously regarded the two of them as ordinary survivors, and looked at the rifle that Li Mo was carrying, so he came up to try his luck.

And this kid is still quite slippery, and he didn't wait for Li Mo to answer, and began to promote himself: "Sir, don't look at my young age, but my service will definitely satisfy you, and I won't let you suffer." ”

"Okay, I need to find a place to stay, do you have any recommendations?" Li Mo smiled, knowing that it was not easy for this child to make a living.

The boy was a little excited when he heard this, it seemed that he hadn't caught up with business for a long time, and hurriedly asked, "Then do you have any requirements for accommodation?" Is it a long-term or short-term rental? Long-term rentals are charged on a monthly basis and are cheaper, while short-term rentals are charged per day and are more expensive. ”

Renting is now a common occurrence in large gatherings, but since survivors are living precarious lives, they rarely choose to rent for a long time.

Especially like those mercenaries who lick blood at the edge of the knife, they don't stay at home much in the first place, and long-term rentals are even more inappropriate.

"Short-term rental, you want a quiet place, just two separate rooms." Li Mo said simply, in fact, it was a temporary place to stay, and there were no special requirements.

Hearing that it was a short-term rental, the boy was naturally a little disappointed, but he still had a bright smile on his face: "Come on, then you two can come with me." ”

Li Mo and Ma Xiaolan followed the child, going around and around, and it didn't take long to reach their destination.

The location of this place is a bit remote, in the depths of an alley.

And the alley is even more dirty and messy, and all kinds of garbage can be seen everywhere.

Looking at the residence in front of me, it is very simple, and it is still a wooden house. At first glance, it is a simple house built by the survivors who fled when the gathering place was not planned for the outer city.

But in any case, it is a sheltered place, and it is now a property.

It's just that before he arrived at the wooden house, Li Mo stopped and frowned.

The reason is simple, because the gasps of men and women can be faintly heard in the room.

Ma Xiaolan also heard the movement inside, and her face was a little ugly.

"Is this what you call bag satisfaction?" Although he was only facing a child, Li Mo didn't have any extra sympathy. Although he doesn't like to be high-profile, it doesn't mean that he wants to listen to this kind of movement all day long.

How did Li Mo not know the owner of this house and what he did to make a living. is simply a secret * prostitute, renting a house and picking up customers.

Seeing that his face was not good, the boy was also a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Sir, don't worry, in fact, this house is really good, it's a big deal that I will let the owner calculate you cheaper." And I can assure you that as long as you move in, there will never be anything like this again. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Mo to respond, so he rushed to the door, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Aunt He, open the door quickly, there are guests who want to rent a house." ”

As a result, he made a fuss outside, and suddenly there was a burst of curses from inside the house.

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked out.

But without saying a word, he first raised his foot and kicked the boy on the heel. He also scolded in his mouth: "You little king and eight calves, even if there is a deal, you have to wait for Lao Tzu to finish." ”

It's just that the boy was kicked, but he was still smiling, and he took the initiative to get in front of the man: "Oh, Uncle Wang, isn't this a guest waiting for a hurry." What is the relationship between you and my Aunt He, an old acquaintance, and I still care about this time and twice, so it's a big deal to make up for it later. ”

The man was obviously familiar with the boy, so he ignored him. His eyes turned, but he looked at Li Mo.

It's just that when he saw that Li Mo was a man with a gun, he really didn't dare to offend. He kicked the boy in the ass again before he muttered and walked away.

The man left with his front feet, and the owner of the house also walked out of the house with his hind feet. (To be continued......)
