My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 533: Goodbye humans! News of a super large gathering place!
Chapter 536 Goodbye humans! News of a super large gathering place!
The last time I walked in front of this nearly 20-meter-high wall, for fear of exposing myself, Su Mo simply looked around a few times, and then immediately looked away.
Today, with Turner leading the way, the salary exchange is not what it used to be.
For the first time, Sumo finally had the time and opportunity to raise his head and measure the general details of the high wall.
Like the city wall outside Liberty City, the material of the high wall is also made of this kind of dark red masonry, which is constantly swallowing light under the sun.
In terms of defense, the entire high wall did not use an external watchtower, but instead used embedded observation windows.
Every thirty meters or so, there will be a gap opened. From time to time, people from the guard stick their heads out to observe the situation in the neighborhood outside.
In terms of the overall defense strength, the high wall can only be regarded as average, and it is at the stage of preventing gentlemen but not villains.
But if you add the eyeball in the center of the wall that is somewhat similar to the Blackstone Camp, the entire wall will lose its majestic feeling in an instant.
On the contrary, there is an indescribably weird feeling, which makes people shudder.
Seeing the complicated expression in Hao Qiang's eyes, Turner would have misunderstood it, and explained: "Friend Hao Qiang, don't worry, it's a big deal for a mercenary to have his identity removed by others." Big, even small”
"I see that your mark is blue, and you don't seem to know the rules here. You should be the group of people who came out when our city was not completely built at the beginning?"
Speaking of this, Hao Qiang could only nod.
Turner patted his chest: "Now you don't have to worry anymore. After Liberty City was built, the lord introduced the policy of mercenaries to maintain the concentration of the territory. You can use the excuse that you haven't come back for a long time. , besides, when you come back to pay the fine, it is to create income for the territory, and with Hal and I guaranteeing you, there will be no problem!"
While speaking, after turning a street corner, a gate appeared under the high wall.
Different from the gates guarded by people before, only ordinary gate stones were placed at the gate under the high wall, and no one was seen.
But after the three of them entered, two staff members in uniforms walked up to them.
A man and a woman, both are standard vultures. They are slender and good-looking, exuding a charming aura.
Observing the gender of the three people, the leading man stepped back, the woman came out, and bowed deeply: "Welcome three adults to the inner city, we are the on-site guides responsible for arranging for the three, please trouble three Let me verify the information first, so that we can arrange the best service and guidance for you”
Like other entertainment service organizations in Liberty City, the fox girl is releasing her innate aura no matter when she speaks or bows.
Unfortunately, facing two dwarves and a reformed human whose lower body was made of iron, her temptation failed.
As Turner pressed his hand on his mark, Su Mo immediately copied his operation in a decent manner.
Wow!
A simple message was shot out through the air through the imprint, and after sensing the receiving end, it flew into the receiver on the back of Fox Girl's hand.
Then the fox girl skillfully lowered her head, called out the received information, and bowed again after her complexion changed slightly: "Master Hal, Lord Turner, you are our VIP in Liberty City, you can enjoy the purple mark in the inner city Treatment, please follow me!"
In Liberty City, the sense of superiority brought by the imprint level is everywhere.
Although the color of the imprints of the two is still blue at present, internally, they were adjusted to purple by the guards, which is quite a compensation.
"Okay, let's lead the way, we really need some good mercenaries"
"And help the person next to me deal with the identity problem!"
"OK!"
Walking along the city gate for about 100 meters, the view becomes wider again.
The buildings that can be seen on the roadside are full of people, carrying items that cannot be traded outside the city.
For example, everyone’s daily fixed ration, a lumpy plant that can be made into paste, is like roadside garbage, piled up into hills.
There are constantly carts responsible for loading, and then pulling them to a fixed location outside the city for sale.
There are also a lot of rare ores for making weapons and armor.
Just looking at it, Su Mo saw several high-grade ores glowing with faint blue light, randomly placed on the floor of the store, and let the guards choose at will.
Rare medicinal materials, high-level plants, weird technological modeling items
Going all the way in, like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, Su Mo felt more clearly about the background of the Demon Soul Clan.
Inside and outside the high wall, it seems like two worlds, setting a clear dividing line between poverty and wealth.
Outside, there is a decaying empire that can be smashed with one stab, and it seems that anyone who comes here can destroy it.
Inside, there are intertwined and deep-rooted underwater icebergs, making it difficult to see where the real end is.
There are eyeballs hanging high on the city wall for surveillance, and things in the inner city are not afraid of being stolen.
Along the way, after turning several turns, when I came to a strange building surrounded by walls but without a door to enter, the fox girl stopped suddenly and made a gesture of invitation:
"Master Hal, I don't know whether you should deal with this person first or go first"
"Let's go and see other mercenaries first, and we will deal with their identities together!"
"OK!"
Nodding again, the fox girl stretched out her hand and waved slowly at the wall. The originally closed building wall cracked open, revealing the passage leading to the bottom.
Noticing that Sumo's sight fell on the inside of the passage, the fox girl explained: "The original open-air mercenary paradise, considering that people from the Guangming Empire often come to invade and it is inconvenient to manage, we have relocated it here. In addition, several new items have been set up, including not only the demon souls who lost our mark, but also other wild alien races, which are available for purchase”
"And on the basis of the rules set by the lord, we have made more changes to protect the rights of buyers"
"In the previous management of subordinate authority, the master could only manage the life and death of mercenaries. It seems to be very strict, but according to our investigation, there are very few people who use it, and there are many accidents."
"So we modified it so that as long as the purchase is made, the owner can freely check the movement route of the mercenary within three days. At the same time, he can also call the creature that the mercenary has recently contacted through the imprint"
“As for the mercenaries, on the premise that the mercenaries cannot harm the master, we have established countermeasures through other rules. , will immediately deactivate its imprint permission."
“In other ways, we did the same.”
On the way to the underground through the deep stairs, the fox girl kept talking about the new and improved rules.
From the master's jurisdiction over the mercenaries, to the mercenary's loyalty options to the master, to the design of various details.
From the inside out, the whole system has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, this initial mercenary elimination system established by the Demon Soul Clan Lord was a helpless move to force everyone to move and go out to make money.
So evolved to the present, and finally embarked on another wrong path, becoming more and more out of control, revealing the real purpose of exploitation below.
After becoming a mercenary, it is basically equivalent to losing all rights, and even the right to commit suicide is forcibly deprived.
In addition to helping the master to work hard, hoping that one day the master can redeem himself, the mercenary will have no other choice.
After listening to all the rules, Su Mo grasped the key point: "Can other alien races also buy, but how to ensure that they are also governed by the rules?"
The fox girl shook her head in surprise: "Hey, is Master Hal going to take other alien races out to work? This is not acceptable. They have no mark and cannot be restrained, which will harm the rights and interests of the master!"
"We can only guarantee that the identity information of these alien races has not been collected and sold, that is to say, Mr. Hal can get the first-hand information and make it into a template for sale"
"As for their lives, after the information is collected after purchase, the owner can continue to sell them here for a second time. At the same time, we can also be responsible for sending them out of the city and let the owner decide whether to stay or not!"
"In short, they can't live in the city!"
After listening to Fox Girl's introduction, Su Mo nodded irrefutably.
As imagined, regarding the most important imprint, the Demon Soul Clan was not open enough to be loaded by others.
However, it is no different from what the fox girl said, no one will put a time bomb by his side.
For the Demons and Souls, as long as there are better mercenaries and templates that can be replaced, they don't need alien slaves to work at all.
The biggest function of these slaves who can be bought and sold is to squeeze out all the information and form a template for sale.
"Here we are, please don't come in close contact with mercenaries and slaves who have no relationship with you, so as to prevent unnecessary risks"
"Of course, during the purchase process, we also hope that customers will not conflict with other people, so as not to spoil everyone's shopping experience!"
At the end of the corridor, after another vulper interacted with the entrance verification, the door that blocked the line of sight opened suddenly, revealing the scene inside.
Even if he came here to buy mercenaries, Turner still sighed: "Oh, it's really big inside!"
"Yes, this is not only the place where we usually trade mercenaries, but also the place where we transfer civilians after the battle"
"The entire space can accommodate about 100,000 people!"
It is a bit similar to ground buildings, and the underground blocks that catch the eye are brightly lit, as bright as day.
In addition, on both sides of the extremely long road, there are also various mercenary exchanges to attract and yell the passing guests.
At first glance, the flow of people here is not small, even slightly stronger than the block where the Xinhuo Exchange is located.
But after careful observation, Su Mo keenly discovered the mystery inside.
Just like other people outside who buy and sell goods into genetic stocks every day, more than 90% of these surging people also have the same thoughts.
They buy different types of mercenaries every day, and sell them a few days later in order to earn the difference.
It is also a commodity, one trades things, and the other trades people, with the price list released by the exchange every day, the ground and the underground are extremely harmonious in this respect.
"Master Hal, Lord Turner, I can only accompany you here, if you think our service is quite satisfactory, please return"
"Okay, you guys go, here is fifty contribution points, you get two points!"
Before the fox girl finished speaking, Turner, who was familiar with the world, took the initiative to interrupt the conversation between the two, and generously gave a tip.
Then, seeing the two happily returning along the original route to lead the next wave of guests, Su Mo smiled and looked away.
"The mercenaries I bought last time are really rubbish. They were infiltrated so easily. This time we have money, why don't we just go and buy something better?"
You get what you pay for, and in Liberty City, that rule applies most of the time.
Pointing to the exchange where the two bought mercenaries last time, and then pointing to the exchange behind which there are fewer people, but the decoration is obviously higher, Turner said through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry, just take a look around and take a look. Being good doesn't mean loyalty. Besides, what we need now is not thugs, but working people. We don't need such good ones!"
"Well, let's transfer separately, first keep the people who meet the requirements in mind, and then we will gather together and choose slowly"
Turner nodded: "That's fine, anyway, I'm fine this afternoon, I'll go and have a look at the back first?"
"Good!"
After agreeing on the agreed time, the three separated.
Turner walked straight to the big store at the back, while Hao Qiang joined in the fun and went to the exchange with the most people.
Watching the turbulent flow of people submerge the figures of the two people, shaking his head, Su Mo turned around and walked into the shop near the main entrance, where the Xingyue Exchange was hung.
"Oh, this is a rare visitor, Lord Hal, please come in!"
As soon as he entered the door, the servant who was in charge of attracting guests greeted him immediately with enthusiasm.
Except for some refugees outside the city, no one well-informed is unfamiliar with the manager of the Torch Exchange who has recently become famous in Liberty City.
Even the other demons and souls who bought the dwarf artisan of Hal before, also broke the template into the cold palace with tears in their eyes after the wind direction changed.
"Come and see the mercenaries, let's lead the way!"
“Okay~”
Different from goods that can be placed on shelves.
Before the mercenaries have no masters, due to their uncertainty, they will basically be imprisoned in the dungeon, covered with chains that restrict their activities.
Following the servant's lead, they came all the way to the back hall, and after passing through a downward passage, the two came to the dungeon under the ground.
A room of about three square meters is the living space for every detainee here.
Watching Somo come down, after seeing the short dwarf's body, most of them just raised their heads, and then fell down powerlessly again.
Obviously, in the hearts of mercenaries, the identity of a dwarf naturally represents poverty!
Don't care about the performance of these people, from the beginning to the end, after keeping all the information of the mercenaries in mind, without any communication, Sumo returned to the first floor again.
Most of the mercenaries at the Xingyue Exchange are good at hard work, and there are not many people with bright minds.
If this kind of person can be brought to the depression, it will be a good cheap labor force, which can quickly increase the speed of the formation of the disaster relief base.
But in Liberty City, where social interaction must be full, it is the most expensive "fool".
Shaking his head, he walked into the opposite exchange again, following the sequence, Somo began to browse quickly.
Along the way, unlike others, Su Mo just watched and didn't ask. After briefly recording the recorded information in his mind, he left immediately.
On the way, he would stop to take a look and ask questions only when he encountered an exchange that sold other alien races.
But unfortunately, after visiting seven or eight exchanges, there is still very little information that can be obtained from other alien races.
"Hey, Hao Qiang, have you finished shopping behind you?"
According to the length of the block, the exchange on this street alone is not under 50. Even if you take a quick look at it, it will take at least half a day.
As soon as he came out of the ninth house, Su Mo was surprised to see Hao Qiang who was waiting at the door and looking around.
"No, I only visited three, and the shopkeeper ~IndoMTL.com~ made a big discovery!"
"Oh?"
Seeing Hao Qiang's astonished expression, Su Mo frowned, and casually walked towards the place where there were few people.
A moment later, they came to a street with few people, and found an exchange at random, and the two walked in.
Then, after sending away the servants, he chose to go shopping by himself.
In the passage, Hao Qiang came up:
"Boss, it's a big problem. When I was shopping at the exchange behind, I saw our own people. Yes, they are human beings!"
"I don't know if I'm insane. When I saw me going in, I yelled at me that he had news about human gathering places. As long as I buy him, tell me everything!"
Hearing the words, Su Mo paused: "News about the human gathering place?"
"Yes, he said he knew the location of a very large human gathering place with about 30,000 people!"
"And the trouble is, according to his vague description, this location happens to be within a thousand kilometers to the southeast of our depression!"
