Chapter 8 Cheap

It didn't take long for the group to reach the Peace Avenue station.

There are no guardrails at the Avenue de la Pax de la Peace, but it is unusual to see it – there is no faint light of fire marking the border line before entering a metro station in advance, and there are no barricades along the way.

When they reached the exit of the tunnel, the noise was boiling, and Su Mengfan saw a scorching light.

They went up the iron-cast staircase from the left, and walked past the platform.

The Commander's boots clicked on the iron staircase, and after a few steps, the tunnel turned to the left, and when he turned around, it suddenly became clear that they were already in the subway station.

A white light shone on their faces, and they couldn't see it through the dark tunnel, and here, beside a small table, sat a man in a strange and outdated old gray uniform and a peaked cap.

"Welcome." He greeted them and removed the flashlight, "Are you here for business or are you passing through?" While the commander explained the purpose of the trip to him, Su Mengfan stared at the subway station of Heping Avenue Station in front of him.

On the platform, the fork in the road was hidden in the darkness, but from the arch came a soft yellow light, all of which looked so familiar and warm that it made people's hearts ache.

Although Su Mengfan had never seen anything like it in the previous subway station, this kind of light reminded him of the distant past, and a strange picture suddenly appeared in front of him:

A small house, filled with yellow lights, shows a woman half-lying on a backless bench, she is reading a book, but her face is blocked by colored wallpaper and dark blue square windows, out of sight.

The sight suddenly flashed through my mind, but it was gone for a moment. This made Su Mengfan confused and excited.

What did he just see?

Is the faint light from the subway station a fragment of his childhood memories?

These memories are hidden in the subconscious, into an invisible screen, the young woman leaning back on a spacious and comfortable backless bench reading a book peacefully.

Could it be his mother?

When the commander showed his credentials, it didn't take long. It looked like a man dressed as a high-ranking officer and walked directly towards the commander.

The commander explained some precautions to Su Mengfan and the others, and followed the officer in.

It is not the All-Russian Exhibition Center Community, which is part of the Circle Line, but also the Lufthansa Union. The Lufthansa Alliance forces mostly revolve around Ring 5 and have great mobility.

The Lufthansa Alliance thrived, so they had more emergency lighting than all the metro stations Su Mengfan knew for as long as he could remember.

No, these are not the same as the lamps in the subway in the past, they are dimly lit, but there is a lamp every 20 feet that emits a scorching light, and they are connected by a metal wire that runs through the entire subway station.

But for Su Mengfan, who is accustomed to emitting a faint red light, illuminating the inside of the tent with the flickering light of the fire or the faint light from a small pocket portable flashlight, the lights of this subway station are too weird.

(Everything is based on the memory of the protagonist of the game.,As for the memory of the past life, it only plays an auxiliary role in explaining.,Otherwise, according to the memory of the past life to substitute the current game world.,You will find that what you see and hear is not a big deal)

The logo of the Lufthansa Union is a large snag with a small circle, white with a brown one, with a total of four circles.

Soon after the dissolution of central control, the station federation of circular railways appeared. These stations spanned all other rail lines and were important hubs for trade routes. They quickly became the place for all traders, and in a short period of time they had an incredible amount of wealth.

Soon, they realized that their wealth would be the envy of others, so they made the only possible decision: they formed the Federation.

Its official name is rarely used, as people soon called them "Hanza" after the Hanseatic League, a medieval alliance of trading cities.

The strength of the Lufthansa Alliance is not just the size of the area. The militarization of the Hanseatic League was to protect its wealth; All of its garrisons are heavily guarded, and it has motor transport and fire. Flamethrower, its militia is armed with high-end military-grade weapons.

The Hanseatic police station is also very strict when it comes to entering and exiting the police station, and non-Hanseatic police personnel require passports or other forms of identification, and their weapons are confiscated before leaving the police station.

However, the weapons of Su Mengfan and others were not forcibly confiscated unexpectedly, but in order not to attract others to snoop. Su Mengfan followed Cage and handed over the weapon.

Su Mengfan walked into the station and found that the hardware equipment and technology here far exceeded that of the All-Russian Exhibition Center Station. Through the baffle, it is directly visible that a large amount of pre-war technology has been preserved, including plastic isolation panels, metal detectors, working computers, medical scanning equipment, and biohazard equipment.

After the outbreak of nuclear war, many factions appeared in the Metro, in addition to the fanatical fascists of the Fourth Reich in the previous Commander's story, and the Hanseatic Alliance also had their own ideology:

They are modeled after the 1900-1960 period, where there were little or no regulations on the free market, and everyone had the right to make their own rules. While this can be pleasant to look at, it also exudes an atmosphere of "all for yourself".

This is also what the red line of another force fears. Even though they are a free-market economy, they are not a completely free society. Therefore, there will be great criticism, and if it is not dealt with in a timely manner, the people's minds will slowly corrode to the extreme.

But it is undeniable that the Lufthansa Union and the Polis Metropolis seem to be the most democratic factions in the Metro, and many citizens from the Fourth Reich and the Red Line have expressed a desire to move to the Lufthansa Union or the Polis Metropolis.

However, neither Stalinists nor fanatics could tolerate refugees: both groups usually killed the refugees who arrived.

Those who were lucky enough to reach the Hanseatic train station were often turned away by the Hanseatic because the Hanseatic was suspicious of outsiders.

In general, the Lufthansa alliance is undoubtedly the most powerful faction in the Moscow Metro, both economically and militarily, tightly controlling the Metro Ring.

In addition to lamenting the military strength of the Hansa Alliance, Su Mengfan found that the trading market here was also very lively, with many strange things on the stalls.

There was tea, strips of sausages, plenty of lamp batteries, jackets made of pigskin, ponchos, and tattered books, most of which were pornographic.

The half-litre bottle contained what appeared to be a suspicious liquid, and the label read "home-brewed" crookedly. There really wasn't a single trader in the tobacco business here, and this thing used to be available everywhere.

Even the short and thin man with a blue nose and tearful eyes who was selling suspicious liquids didn't understand what Su Mengfan was talking about when he heard Su Mengfan ask him if he had some "gadgets".

There are people selling firewood, chunks of logs, and branches brought down from the ground by stealth heroes. It is said that these branches can burn for a long time and produce very little smoke.

Here you can punch with a shiny Kalashnikov in color. Sharp guns and bullets to buy things. 100 grams of tea are exchanged for 5 bullets; A sausage is worth 15 bullets; The price of a home-brewed bottle of wine is 20 bullets.

They affectionately call them "little bullets": "Come on, man, listen, look at this, what a cool jacket, it's cheap, it's 30 little bullets, and it's yours!" What? Too expensive? Well, 25 pieces, is it a deal? ”

Seeing the neatly stacked "small bullets" on the counter, Su Mengfan had seen about Kalashnikov on the Internet. A quote from the spear.

Probably means: "Kalashnikov invented the punch to himself. The Blade Gun is proud of the fact that this gun is the most popular in the world. It is said that he was particularly pleased with his invention and proud of its ability to secure the borders of his homeland. I don't know, if I had such an invention, I think I would go crazy. Think about how many murders have happened with the help of the machines you invented! This is even more terrible than the invention of the guillotine. ”

One bullet – one human life.

Some people's lives are gone. 100 grams of tea is 5 lives. What about a sausage? Sorry, it's cheap: only 15 lives. A good quality jacket, like the one sold today, costs only 25 bullets at a discount, so you save 5 people. The day-to-day transactions of this market are closely related to the life of the entire population of the subway.

Human life is worthless here, so there are only 100 people in each subway station.

"Well, did you buy yourself something?" Cage walked over and asked.

"I'm not interested in anything here." Su Mengfan blocked this question back.

"Aha, you're right, there's only garbage here. But, little boy, this little metro station has it all. At that time, when you get here, they will compete with each other: weapons, DP, girls, forged documents. Cage sighed dreamily.

"But these idiots," he said, nodding toward the banner of the Hanseatic League, "have turned this place into a kindergarten: you can't do this, you can't do that......

Okay, it's time for us to move on, grab your equipment – we're going to move on. ”
