Chapter 136: A City in the Forest, a Pearl in the Green Sea
Ye Mingzhu went to the river to wash it, put on Li Qingchen's clothes, and then walked back. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info As soon as she walked in front of everyone, she was stunned.
It turned out that the strange pattern tattoo on her face could be washed off, not a real tattoo. At this time, she cleaned it up like this, and suddenly revealed snow-white skin and a beautiful face, and Lise was not under Li Qingchen.
Yan Fei Tieyi was a little in a daze, although Li Qingchen is a stunning beauty, she has known her since she was a child, and she has long been aesthetically fatigued, and so is Helan Minmin. But they only knew each other after all, and their eyes lit up when they saw her like this in vain.
Li Qingchen and Helan Minmin snorted at the same time, and even Tan Ye Nu showed disdain.
Yun Rui glanced at the night pearl lightly, and it was not strange. He had already seen that the Pearl of the Night was a fake tattoo. And although she was very beautiful, did he see few beautiful women? Besides, this woman had a heart, and it would be strange if he had a good impression of her.
A group of eight people trekked through mountains and rivers in the forest, either encountering wild beasts or adventurers, and there were outlaws who couldn't open their eyes, just to let Yun Rui and others get more blood on their hands, but Yun Rui didn't make a move. A few Ding-rank martial artists are enough to deal with it.
After a few days, more and more people were discovered, and even off-road vehicles, motorcycles and other means of transportation slowly appeared.
"Forest City is almost here, and there is still half a day to go at most. Ke Meng said.
Night Pearl has been more submissive these days, but as Forest City gets closer and closer, her demeanor has also changed. There was an occasional flash of coldness in his eyes.
Without Yun Rui and the others, she knew that she would never be able to go here alone. But so what? They just take themselves with them.
After walking for another half hour, I even had a mobile phone signal. It's right in the middle of the forest. It seems that the people here are really not simple, and even the signal towers have been built.
Everyone quickly took out their mobile phones to make a call. Yun Rui also called Yun Ke and Jing Xiaowan. They have been away for more than ten days, and they have not been able to contact them for so long, and they are worried. Yun Ke said to Yun Rui that Jing Xiaowan's eyes were swollen from crying, and Jing Xiaowan said to Yun Rui that Yun Ke's eyes were swollen from crying. made Yunrui cry and laugh.
Less than two hours after Night Pearl made the call, a small off-road vehicle drove out of the forest road. Night Pearl waved to the car, and the off-road vehicle drove to her, Night Pearl opened the car door, sneered and looked at Yunrui and got in. Then the car left Yun Rui and the others behind.
"It's just a white-eyed wolf. Helan Minmin said. The crowd also expressed dissatisfaction. This woman changes her face faster than she turns a book, and she still looks like a little daughter-in-law on the road, the eldest brother is long and the eldest brother is short, and she doesn't recognize anyone when she arrives here.
Li Qingchen suddenly frowned and said, "Why did I suddenly remember that she looks like a person." Then he shook his head, "Isn't she in Yanjing? ”
Passing through a forest, a stone and wood city appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Although it is a city of stone and wood and has no walls, it is magnificent.
Built on flat land in the middle of the forest, this stone town covers an area of several square kilometers from a distance, and is densely packed with buildings, and you can see cars, mules, horses, and people coming and going from time to time. They even saw a helicopter flying up from the city.
I never imagined that such a huge city could be found in the depths of the vast forest.
Ke Meng pointed to the city in front of him and said, "Brother Yun, this is the city in the forest, the pearl of the green sea. Forest City. ”
Yunrui looked at the city and sighed a little, the city in the forest is the pearl of the green sea, and the name of Forest City is really good.
Around the city are hundreds of huge windmills that rotate under the influence of the wind, apparently used to generate electricity. Just with these windmills, it looks very visually impactful.
Everyone seemed to be a little shocked by this scene, especially Tan Ye Nu, whose little face was red with excitement. The only time she went out was to the villages and towns on the grassland outside the Songmo Forest, when had she ever seen such a "big" city. Especially the huge "bird" that flew up just now almost made her unable to believe her eyes. "Brother Ping An said it was a helicopter, not a bird. But how can it fly?"
A few people entered the city for a while, and only then did they observe more details. It's very different from the city outside, and the style is very different. There are courtyards and stone towers in the east, as well as buildings and churches in the west. At the same time, there are bicycles, motorcycles, cars, horses, mules, and donkeys on the bluestone road.
There are a lot of people, and the bustling is very lively. The people who come and go are also varied, some wear suits and casual clothes outside, and some wear robes and animal skins. Most of them are Oriental faces, but there are also whites, even blacks. Most of these people looked vigilant, and the aura on their bodies was unusual.
There are more than a dozen streets in the city, and there are supermarkets, restaurants, clinics, coffee shops, barber shops, blacksmith shops, Chinese medicine shops, and tea houses on the streets. I even saw a "four-country bank".
It's a bizarre city that looks like a strong sense of unreality, how weird it looks. But Yunrui knew that this was a city that had existed for a long time.
Ke Meng pointed to a huge stadium-like dome and said, "That's where things are traded, and our herbs are generally sold there. ”
Yun Rui asked, it turned out that it was the trading center of the Northland Forest World, and there were people from Great Xia, the Mongol Khanate, Tsarist Russia, and even Goryeo and other countries. Here they trade precious stones, gold, furs, herbs, flora and fauna, drugs, munitions. And, of course, luxury goods from all over the world.
In addition, the smuggling business here has been monopolized by several major powers, and as long as you trade inside, you have to pay a fee. Everything here belongs to these forces, and even the shops on the street are rented out by them.
There are also quite a few people who come from all over the country as fugitives, poachers, adventurers, trouble-solvers. Definitely one of the few cities in the world with a predominantly at-risk population.
That's all Ke Meng knew. It's just that Yunrui and the others want to know more in detail.
Everyone was also hungry, so they found a domestic style restaurant and ordered some meals and drinks. When I look at the menu, my goodness, the meat is ridiculously cheap, but the vegetables and rice are frighteningly expensive, and the drinks are sky-high. When you listen to Coke, you will need 50 Chinese yuan or its equivalent in foreign currency.
Fortunately, the cash on several people adds up to a lot, and it is not embarrassing.
A thin black young man in plaid clothes looked at Yun Rui and the others, and stepped forward with a smile and said, "You are new here, right? Welcome to Forest City! Oh, get to know me, my name is Akai." The guy sat down next to him as he spoke.
This Akai knew at a glance that it was the old fritter who was mixed here, but Yun Rui didn't give him a face, and said, "We are here to find friends, and my brother is a local?"
Akai honestly poured a cup of tea into his mouth and said, "Brother, I'm a rectum, don't be weird." A $1,000 opening fee, I'll tell you everything here. Whatever you ask within half an hour, as long as I, Akai, know. ”
As soon as the words came out, they immediately exchanged the eyes of the whole table. Yunrui was also a little unhappy, asking a few words for a thousand yuan? Why don't you grab it?
Seeing the appearance of Yun Rui and the others, Akai hurriedly said to Yun Rui: "Big brother, you are new here, if you don't know the situation here, you will accidentally offend people who shouldn't be offended, and break into places that shouldn't be broken." Truth be told, human life is the least valuable here. If you throw your life here in a daze, do you say that you are wronged or not? Don't look at me moving my mouth, it is definitely worth this money. ”
Yun Rui sneered, he accidentally put his life here? But he didn't want to get into trouble he shouldn't have. So I decided to ask clearly.
Yun Rui collected a thousand yuan, put it on the table, and said, "You pick the important ones, as long as you are not perfunctory, this thousand yuan is your reward." ”
Akai swept the stack of banknotes and said in a very professional tone: "Forest City is at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and it is the largest smuggling distribution center in the Northland. There are three biggest forces here that cannot be provoked. One is the Baron's estate, the second is the Golden Family, and the third is the nightclub.
The Baron's Manor was an organization established by the Kolchak family, a Russian nobleman, who mainly smuggled arms and monopolized the gold business here, and 30% of the industry here came from the Baron's Manor.
The Golden Family was founded by the Mongol Khanate of Hulihai and is said to be a descendant of Genghis Khan. The Golden Family had a monopoly on the skins here, as well as munitions and drugs.
The nightclub is not a nightclub, but their owner's surname is night, so it is called a nightclub. Nightclubs have a monopoly on gems and artifacts, and of course other businesses do the same.
These three forces divide 80% of the business of the forest world equally, and the rest are some small forces. There are more than 100,000 people here, but few people dare to offend these three families. Because not only do they have great financial resources, but they also have their own armed forces.
It's easy not to offend them. All of their people have their own characteristics. For example, the people of Baron Hill are mainly white, wearing top hats and carrying revolvers. Of course, not all of them are from their Baron's Lodge.
The people of the Golden Family are also very recognizable, and most of them wear Mongolian robes with scimitars. As for the nightclubs, they are the most difficult to recognize, they are mainly from our Daxia people, but the source is very complicated, and there are no characteristics. However, if it comes to the smuggling of gems and artifacts, you should be careful, and there will be no major problems.
There are also some guys, such as some exiled fugitives, killers, these people look ruthless, but they don't dare to be presumptuous here. Don't look at the danger here, but the basic order is still there.
Also, once you offend the people of the three major forces, don't have any resistance. As long as you don't want to die, you have to promise anything. ”
After Akai finished these in one breath, Yunrui asked again: "There is a one named Night Pearl, do you know?"
Akai's face immediately changed, and he said, "You're here to find Miss Yeji, and she's your friend?"
Seeing that Yunrui didn't say no, Akai immediately said nervously: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!Big brother, I didn't know that you were a friend of Miss Yeer, I won't take this money, even if it's free, hehe." After saying that, he ran out without taking the money.
Yun Rui and the others looked at each other, they were a little depressed, at this time, where did they not know that they had offended a force here?
Looking at Mingzhu's changing face before leaving that night, the idiot also knew that she was looking for trouble.
