Chapter 300: The Exiled Town
Maya was still interrogating Aven, when Lin Wu and Qing Lang lifted a large wooden box from the ground and opened it to see that it was full of gold nuggets of different shapes. Everyone was slightly disappointed by this. This means that you need to sell gold to NPCs. From the known information, the villains in the event, the forces of the Black Wind Village are all over the place where the event passes, and once the gold nuggets are exposed, it is likely to lead to hunting and killing.
At present, Splash is the driver, Hongyi is the guide, and the identity of the negotiator is given to Qinglang. Sunny was full of confidence: "Leave it to me." As a negotiator, the first task he received was to sell the gold nuggion.
On the way back, everyone was in a good mood, as long as they could dispose of this box of gold nuggets, they would not have to rely on looting to get by, and they could carry the entire town on the train.
Before driving, Maya went to stand outside the passenger car for a while, looking at the full carriage of zombies with heads as big as oxen. Lin Wu stood beside her and said, "I have already complained, and Shuguang told me that it was the passengers in the carriage who were still human at the time who closed the door by themselves. ”
"And then?"
"No then." Lin Wu shot his shotgun at the car door, and the door was damaged by 1%. Lin Wu was pleasantly surprised: "It's not impossible. "A hundred shots can break down a door.
"Don't waste bullets, get in the car!" Maya asked as she walked, "Open the connecting door between the item car and the passenger car, can we block the impact of the zombies?" ”
Lin Wu asked: "Are you going to use cold weapons to kill all the zombies in a carriage and more than a hundred?" ”
Maya didn't answer, got on the car from the goods car, took the walkie-talkie and asked, "Are you all here?" ”
Sunny Weather: "Wait for me. ”
"Where have you been?"
"When we left, Evan said he wanted to drink, so I took the flask from the warehouse and gave it to him." Qinglang said: "The wine jug that Lin Wu stole at the town police station." ”
"What do you mean by stealing?" Lin Wu retorted: "That's for his good." "For the sake of your health, whether you want to or not, I must help you. Both at the height of morality, and able to harvest the flask, an excellent errand.
Maya asked, "How long?" Can you come back in a minute? ”
"It's back." Sunny ran out of the waiting room with a bundle of tubular bombs in his hand: "The flask has been replaced with this thing." As a negotiator, he gets more information from Aven, triggering Aven's mission.
"Wow, you can blow up the car door." Lin Wu stretched out his hand to pull Qinglang into the car.
Maya took the bomb and looked at it, took the walkie-talkie and said, "Let's go!" "Put the bomb in the goods warehouse.
Lin Wu asked, "Bombed?" ”
Maya said: "Find a suitable place and blow it up." ”
Qinglang said: "Evan told me. The station of Line 3 is in the center of the state capital, where the plague has already begun to spread, and he is not sure about the development of the plague and advises me not to take Line 3. ”
If the plague in the state capital doesn't get out of control, the state capital is a very good place to sell gold and buy supplies. Previously, Lin Wu received news that a group of residents were missing on the way to the state capital. Based on the above two pieces of information, it is natural to avoid the No. 3 state capital line.
Lin Wu said: "It is estimated that the next stop will be the night station, this time we don't want to choose a mother." ”
……
The next two hours are everyone's private time. Splash sat in the driver's seat, leaning back and looking at the scenery. The locomotive door opened, and he sat on the covered bridge with his five fingers on his chin and quietly looked into the distance, enjoying the comfort of the wind blowing by. The two of them spoke without a word.
Lin Wu and Xiao Wei played in the empty dormitory car. Red prepares dinner. Maya counted the cargo, estimated the coal consumption of the armor, and ranked the importance of the supplies.
With the sound of red clothes starting the meal, everyone helped to bring the ingredients to the locomotive, although it was a little crowded, but it was fun to eat together.
Today's dinner was a meat bun, a creamy bisque, and a vegetable salad. Maya and Sunny are fond of creamy soup, while Lin Wu and Splash like meat buns, strictly the meat in meat buns. To add a bit of buzz to the dinner, Aurora sent a night route: "Line 1: Continuous. Line 2: Intermittent. Line 3: Continuous. ”
Maya said: "We don't go to the state capital, Line 3 is afraid of death." ”
Lin Wu: "What's the difference between continuous and continuous?" ”
Maya replied, "For example, 1, 1, 1, it's continuous. 1…… 1…… 1. It's continuous. "The continuous frequency is relatively fast, and the continuous frequency is to maintain a frequency. Intermittent is well understood, irregular frequency.
Red-clothed raised his spoon and expressed his opinion: "It's not a zombie, and it's not a cowboy robber." "Otherwise, who can withstand an attack that lasts all night?
Shui Hua said: "It can't be a continuous encounter. "Otherwise, you don't have to drive, everyone gets off the train and pushes the train away, and you can save burning coal."
Qinglang said: "Lin Wu, you guessed right last time, what do you think this time?" ”
Lin Wu said: "My first thought is music, only music has discontinuity, continuity and continuity. ”
Maya slapped herself on the thigh: "It's the voice, the continuous sound, the staccato sound and the continuous sound." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Intermittent should be thunder, occasional thunder. It should be raining continuously, and the raindrops are densely hitting the carriage. Last? It's about the same as raindrops, but it's less frequent, and that's hail. Maya said, "It should have been continuous." However, it is a continuous line 3, so it can only be selected between continuous and intermittent. ”
Maya said: "If someone figures this out, there is a good chance that they will choose the continuation of Line 1." Because the intermittent thunder of Line 2 is very unfriendly to people who sleep. But if my guess is correct, the constant hail will destroy the carriage. Therefore, there is no other choice for ordinary trains, and the intermittent line 2 is their best choice. ”
Red-clothed nodded: "We are an armored train and are not afraid of hail, so we choose the continuation of Line 1." ”
Maya said, "That's right, if I'm right, we can all get a good night's sleep tonight." "The train can't be without a driver, and both Maya and Splash can control the train, as long as they change shifts.
The splash chose Line 1, and after a while, I saw dark clouds, raindrops falling with hail, and everyone high-fived each other to celebrate that they had finally guessed correctly. The hail hit the carriage, and the movement was relatively large, but it was bearable.
Everyone was in a very good mood for dinner tonight, especially Lin Wu and Shui Hua, who had eaten meat for the first time in two days. Previously, it was either cake, bread, or fruit.
Along with the selection, the guide Redcoat gets the information of Line 1: "Line 1, Town 9: Exile Town." ”
"Why skip 7 and 8?" Lin Wu complained, and the result of the complaint was that they had abandoned Towns 7 and 8 in their previous choice.
The town of exile is a paradise for criminals. The causes are complex, in short, rampant crime, police force, and prisons in state capitals are overcrowded. So the state government put some of the prisoners in isolated places to live, and after building the infrastructure for them, they were left to fend for themselves. A train passes through the area once a month to drop off new prisoners and some basic items before leaving.
After looking at the background of the town, everyone thinks that the town of No. 9 is an extralegal place with no laws and no rules. They believe in the law of the jungle, big fists are the last word, and the weak can only be bullied and slaughtered. The town of exile is located in an oasis in the desert, and since there is no means of transportation, almost no one can get out of it.
The good news is that the penal town has no guns or bullets, and to a certain extent, the Orient Express has overwhelming force.
The bad news is that the Eastern Train, in their opinion, is the best way to escape the desert prison and get to freedom.
Maya made a decision: "If they hit the idea of the train, we'll blow open the door of the passenger car." Until then, we need to gather as many resources as possible. I don't think gold is worth much here, it's sunny, you don't need to carry gold bullion and any trading goods, you can negotiate directly with the other party. If the bid is high enough, we can consider selling a few guns. Lin Wu, you accompany Qinglang, be careful of others playing in the shade. ”
Lin Wu said: "It's better for us not to get off the train, just shout a few times at the train station and let them come to trade with us." ”
Maya nodded: "You can try." ”
Hongyi said: "I suggest we first think about how to sleep tonight?" ”
There were only three blankets, and the floor was stiff.
Lin Wu raised his hand: "I can break my leg and be eligible to be admitted to the hospital bed." ”
The red man laughed and pulled out his stick: "I'll come!" ”
Lin Wu hurriedly said: "Just kidding, just kidding." "In an era when there were no painkillers, a broken leg was no joke.
Maya ignored their arguing and said, "Three blankets are spread flat, enough for four people to lie down." Everyone should pay attention to their physical condition and go to the hospital bed for treatment if they are sick. ”
Qinglang said: "Maya, I find you very special. ”
"Special?"
"You can be serious in a relaxed atmosphere and not be averse to interruptions, teasing and joking."
Maya looked at Lin Wu: "Sometimes it's not that I'm not disgusted, I just can't bear it!" ”
"Why are you looking at me?" Lin Wu was dissatisfied: "It's sunny to speak, you can't just bully a single dog." ”
Maya sighed and stood up: "I ate well, thank you Hongyi, it tastes good." ”
Lin Wu was unhappy: "What does she mean by sighing?" ”
Qinglang smiled: "Sighing is sighing, and it is usually a manifestation of a person's helplessness." Logically speaking, people will restrain themselves from sighing, so as not to affect others with their emotions. And her sigh is for you, deliberately for you to hear. I think the general meaning is: if you don't shut up, labor and management will beat you to death. ”
"Ha, as if I'm afraid of her."
……
The Exile Town is a cross-shaped town, the largest town in size of any town seen before. The train station is in the center of the Cross, and the railroad tracks run across the town.
The town was built by the state capital, and clothing, seeds, and tools were regularly delivered to the townspeople. Due to the large size of the oasis, a variety of livestock cubs are also brought in to encourage the townspeople to raise them. The train station is also different, with no waiting hall and only a large yellow circle.
The game's introduction tells the player that the previous train brought prisoners and supplies with soldiers and weapons. When the train stops and unloads people and supplies, all townspeople who step into the yellow circle are shot by the soldiers.
The train dispatched by the state government is an armored train, and if the personnel or train are attacked by the townspeople, the state government will cancel the next month's supply of supplies.
It sounds like not only a place outside the law, but also a very bad and disorderly world, commonly known as chaos and chaos.
In fact, this is not the case, there are many onlookers, but they are far away from the yellow circle. A man walked outside the circle and stood waiting, dressed in ordinary clothes, with a straight waist, as if he was not a prisoner who had come to ask for something, but a landlord who had come to collect rent.
Lin Wu stepped forward: "Hello." "The train only opened one door for the goods car, and behind the door everyone got guns and waited for the clash to happen.
"Hello." The man said, "I'm the mayor." Two green letters appeared on the mayor's head.
Lin Wu rarely met someone who introduced himself so formally, so he replied: "I'm a player...... Well, my name is Player. ”
"You're not from the state capital?"
"No, we are the Night Moon Steamship Private Railroad Company. I got lost because I was not familiar with the nearby railway, so I strayed into this town. ”
The mayor nodded, took a few steps forward, and shook hands with Lin Wu: "This town only supports barter, and outsiders must also abide by the rules. No crime, no provocation. If you are treated unfairly, you can go to the town office to find me. We need tools, pesticides, fertilizers. ”
Lin Wu regretted: "We don't. ”
"It's okay, you can just hang out." The mayor turned to the townspeople and said, "Passers-by, don't be watching. ”
Lin Wu followed and asked curiously, "Mayor Town, how do you manage them?" They are all said to be criminals? ”
"There are many kinds of criminals, one is what we often call criminals, who commit crimes for profit, even for personal preference. One is forced to make a living, forced to commit a crime out of desperation. There is also a group of people who have been wronged. All the people who come here, no matter what kind of criminals, they have a chance to be reborn. ”
"If someone is stubborn, we will dispose of them unceremoniously."
Lin Wu: "I'm just curious how they would listen to you?" Because good people want to live a quiet life, only bad guys want to be the boss. ”
The mayor replied, "Anyone who wants to be the boss will be killed by the townspeople." I'm not the boss either, I'm the one they've chosen to handle and decide the town's chores. ”
Lin Wu: "Don't you show favoritism to others when you deal with things?" ”
"Every Saturday night, we have a bonfire where five random townspeople are selected to supervise me for a week, and they have the right to remove me from the campfire. I see you're so curious, why don't you come with me? ”
"Okay."
The mayor and Lin Wu entered the town office, and there were people waiting inside. It turned out that two peasant women had worked together to make a large piece of feta cheese, and they said that it would be 55 points, but they couldn't divide it in many ways, so they asked the mayor to divide the cheese. Of course, this task belongs to Lin Wu, and the mayor said, "Please cut the cheese for them." ”
Lin Wu picked up the knife and looked at it for a while, then handed the knife to the peasant woman A: "You come and cut it, you divide the cheese into two parts, and she will pick it first." ”
Mission accomplished.
Because Lin Wu's set is close, Lin Wu unlocks the infinite task of the town office: processing official documents. Kumon has multiple-choice questions, subjective questions, and true/false questions.
For example, if A and B are neighbors, and A occupies 0.1 meters more of B's land when he builds a stone wall, how will it be decided? This question is a 5-point question, and you can get 5 knives if you answer it correctly. 5 dollars will be deducted for incorrect answers.
Lin Wu's answer was: A apologizes to B, strives for forgiveness, and gives a certain amount of material compensation. If B disagrees, the wall is removed and rebuilt. The score for such a decent answer was only two points, Lin Wu asked on the walkie-talkie, and Maya gave a more reliable answer.
Maya believes that if B questions or prevents A from building the wall, A should be held fully responsible and the wall must be completely demolished. If B does not make any representation, then it is determined that the fence is valid and B does not need to be compensated, and A is recommended to give a small amount of symbolic compensation.
