Chapter 156: The Silk Road
Robert raised his eyebrows, then laughed wickedly, "Yes! Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info, though, I can give you a chance to do something for me, like ......"
He smiled brightly, and reached out to pat Ah Le's shoulder. Ah Le didn't hide, and his eyes became extremely cold when he looked at him.
Robert continued: "For example, hurry up to the base and get the xenogene!haha,!As long as the xenogene is brought back to the research institute of the Bright Empire, with the advanced intelligence of your human beings, there will be a way to make exclusive ammunition against xenogenes." When the time comes, once the war between light and darkness starts, the outcome will not be obvious, and the old things of the Death Conference will not be in a good mood. And as long as I see those old things upset, I feel really good!"
The atmosphere that had already begun to tense was like a punctured air bag, and suddenly deflated. Ah Le felt like he couldn't cry or laugh, and said angrily: "Nearly a thousand viscounts, how can it be so easy to snatch!"
Robert touched the short beard on his chin and said, "So you don't know the situation at the base yet!"
Ah Le was slightly stunned, and the meaning of Robert's words seemed to mean something else.
Robert looked at Ah Le with a blank look and explained: "Xenogenesis has not yet taken shape, although they have the strength of the viscount, but they are not yet awake, so they are not terrible." The others are the second ancestors of the ten major families who came to gild and mix some merits, and besides, you don't have to worry, the black dog that came with you can't even be fathomed by me!"
After Ah Le came back to his senses, he saw that Robert was looking at him thoughtfully, and his heart couldn't help but jump slightly.
Robert continued: "I remember the first time I saw you, there was a faint feeling in my body that made me faintly familiar, and I thought that you were a teenager from the top ten families, and when you got close to you, you found that the breath was not like the dark side, it was really a strange thing!"
His last sentence is also the greatest curiosity about Ah Le!
"You didn't kill me at the time, do you think I might be a member of the Ten Families?" asked Ah Le.
"Oh no, if you're a member of the Ten Families and you've already become a mess of corpses, I just think there's a good chance you'll be a potential ally of mine in the future. Robert said calmly.
Ah Le frowned: "You are really direct, but what makes me curious is that if you are sure that we will be allies in the future." οΌβ
Robert smiled mysteriously, "A man's sixth sense." β
Ah Le glanced at him and stopped talking. Robert turned his gaze to the barbecue grill on the campfire, the ribs and pork legs were already golden brown and almost ready for the fire. He took a deep breath and grinned, "It's also a very important thing for future allies to fill their stomachs. β
Ah Le was silent for a moment and said, "I like to eat cooked food, which is really a strange hobby for zombies." β
The smile on Robert's face froze, and when he took the golden roast, he began to chew again, regardless of the master's demeanor. The two of them camped out here that night. When Ah Le woke up the next day, he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he would fall asleep in the end. However, with Robert present, the fierce beasts in the field did not dare to approach, but had an exceptionally calm night.
When Ah Le opened his eyes, he saw Robert looking at the west in a dull manner.
After a few moments, Robert walked over and said, "It's time for us to go, we'd better go to the base together to get a sample of Xenogenesis." β
Ah Le asked, "What's wrong?"
Robert thought about it, but told him anyway, "The Morgan family seems to be nearby!"
Ah Le nodded, frowning again. No matter how friendly Robert is, Ah Le can't fully trust him.
Robert didn't seem to see Ah Le's hesitation at all, and smiled casually: "Let's go now, leave this ghost place early." I don't want to run into Morgan's guys, and you probably don't want to!"
Qianye suddenly realized that Robert should always be suspicious of his identity, and it was not a whim to propose to go to the base to collect samples together, probably to prevent himself from revealing his whereabouts in this forest.
So no matter what thoughts were going on in their hearts, the one person and one zombie tried to avoid the Morgan family during the next two days of the trip, and set off towards the hidden entrance of another part of the base.
After leaving the forest, there is a wilderness in front of Ah Le, which is different from the plateau, much more rugged and vibrant. In addition to large trees with well-developed root systems that draw water from deep rivers, vegetation that clings to the ground grows.
The land is full of weathered stones, and at the end of the line of sight, there are more than a dozen tall stone pillar trees standing on the horizon, like ancient ruins. Half a day later, a low building appeared in front of me, an oasis that was not marked on the official maps of the Empire of Light and the Dark Realm, with a lush forest growing on it, the fresh green contrasting with the surrounding gray-brown wilderness.
The gray city has no walls, it is full of low houses, and the three-story building is the grandest of the buildings. The wilderness is windy and sandy, and when the wind blows at night, it is sometimes so big that it can blow camels into the sky. The buildings built here need to be extremely strong and not too high, otherwise it will be difficult to resist the might of nature. In addition, gray cities are not fixed, and every few years, the people of the Death Council will sweep around the perimeter, and gray beings such as low-lying towns will be re-established in different places accordingly. Moving back and forth like this, naturally there will be no gorgeous buildings.
Like a Moro lily in the wilderness that produces small yellow flowers, even if it is uprooted, it will still grow tenaciously from a gap after the wind and sand have stopped. Seeing the gray city, Ah Le's heart sank slightly, and asked, "What kind of place is this?"
Robert laughed, "It's called the Silk Road!"
The so-called Silk Road is actually a gray city on the border between the Empire of Light and the Dark Realm. These cities are also scattered along the borders of other continents, differing only in size and content, where anything can be traded, and there is no law or order to speak of.
Ah Le subconsciously touched the dark night dawn and the saber on his waist. In such a place, there is no order or credibility to speak of, and every day people die inexplicably. Whether it's protecting a trade or protecting oneself, power is the only thing that can be relied upon.
Robert next to him smiled again, and said nonchalantly: "Don't be so nervous, this kind of place just looks dirty and messy, there is no danger at all, you can walk sideways here!"
Alel tugged at the hood of the traveler's cloak, not wanting to bother with him at all. These gray cities, which are equivalent to personal domains, usually have one or two counts sitting in the town to maintain the most basic order, and at least two or three of them have developed to the scale of the Silk Road in front of us. And with Robert's current earl rank, he can run rampant here!
When Ah Le approached the gray city, Ah Le saw scenes of humans and zombies talking happily, as well as scenes of humans and zombies bargaining, and even a carriage pulled by zombies swaggering by, and the people sitting in the car were all Terrans.
These scenes, unless you see them with your own eyes, are simply unimaginable. Gray cities have no walls and no guards, and come and go freely here. When Ah Le entered the city, he realized why the dark race and the human race lived so peacefully. The humans walking around here are all extremely fierce, and they have to overwhelm the dark race in terms of murderous aura and might. From time to time, passers-by glanced at Ah Le and Robert, as if assessing the fatness of their prey.
This kind of gaze is not strange to Robert, any underground world, any place of disorder, it is the weighing of unfamiliar faces. Ah Le and Robert are both wearing the most ordinary traveler's cloaks, Ah Le does not hide his rank, the fourth rank is not the strongest here, but it is not weak, and it can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Robert didn't know what to think, and all his breath was restrained, and even the race was not obvious. The Silk Road is home to hotels, casinos, bars, fighting rings, and even a sizable auction house. And here, after only walking a short street, Ah Le saw almost all the strange phenomena, even a Glorious Viscount was the owner of a grocery store.
Passing by a gun shop, Ah Le involuntarily stopped, looking at this completely inconspicuous small shop with some surprise. There are two AC heavy snipers at the entrance of this shop, one of which is an extremely rare XM109. The XM109M is a powerful heavy sniper that appeals to Ah Le, especially since the American firearms of the old era have always been known for their precision and workmanship. The only thing that is uncertain is whether Yuan Li can be blessed with this sniper rifle.
Ah Le moved his gaze to the price list that was staggered to the side, but was taken aback, the opening price of this XM turned out to be a full 30,000 imperial coins. This figure was able to keep a small nobleman running for two months.
Ah Le picked up the gun and took a closer look, but found traces of renovation in several places, and the technique was quite clever, but it still couldn't escape the eyes of Ah Le, a closed-door disciple of a mechanical expert. In other words, this is not a new gun, but a second-hand product. Counting depreciation, the opening price of this gun is at least two times more expensive.
Ah Le shrugged, put down his gun and prepared to leave. What's more, I can't afford to pay the sky-high price of XM. Ah Le has a kind of peerless gun that has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is not necessary for XM at the moment, if he needs a long-range combat position on the battlefield in the future, with the knowledge he learned in mechanical experts, 30,000 imperial coins are enough to customize an exclusive heavy sniper for himself, and all aspects of the function can overwhelm this second-hand XM109 sniper rifle.
It's just that any inconspicuous small shop can put out an XM109 sniper rifle that even the Bright Empire army is difficult to equip in large quantities to support the faΓ§ade, which gives Qianye the most intuitive understanding of the Silk Road.
As soon as Ah Le turned around, a fierce voice came from behind him: "Stop!"
