Bleach Stronger by AFK Chapter 153: Enter the island
Latest website: The long whistle echoed in the air, and the warm sunshine shone on the sea surface.
Amidst the turbulence of the sea water, a huge white cargo ship slowly approached the port and slowly stopped.
The ladder was lowered, and workers who had been waiting at the port immediately swarmed forward, preparing to move supplies.
Beside the fence, Lin Lichuan stretched out his hand to hold on to the railing and stared at the busy people coming and going at the port.
On the deck behind him, there were forty or fifty people like him, wearing various clothes that were very different from the uniforms of freighter crew members. Some looked haggard, or looked numb, or had cold expressions, but there was no trace in their eyes. Exceptions include men and women who look confused.
These people are all refugees and criminals who have lost their place on the mainland and fled to Black Flame Island. For the island in front of them, which is rumored to be a paradise for refugees and criminals, deep in their hearts, in addition to expectation and excitement, they cannot help but feel With a trace of confusion.
Half an hour later, the materials on the freighter were finally transported. It was only then that the group of people Lin Lichuan was allowed to get off the freighter. Amid the impatient urging of the crew, dozens of people spontaneously lined up in a long queue. , walked down the stairs in turn.
Mixed in the queue, Lin Lichuan slowly moved forward with the flow of people while calmly observing the situation at the port.
Right now, he is an important criminal wanted by the Tania Empire. After paying a transportation fee to the forces behind the freighter, he successfully boarded the freighter and arrived at Black Flame Island.
Similar transactions are not uncommon. Rather, it is the case for people who can board freighters. This has even formed a complete gray industry chain in the mainland, with thousands of people passing through this method every year. Enter Black Flame Island.
The Black Flame Island does not reject anyone who comes to the island. No matter what their status is, whether they are ordinary people or extraordinary people, they are all admitted to the island.
Of course, it is easy to enter the island, but it is not that easy to leave.
In a sense, the refugees and criminals who entered Heiyan Island are not much different from the materials on the freighter. To be more precise, they are a population resource.
Not long after, everyone, including Lin Lichuan, got off the freighter and gathered in the open space in the middle of the port. Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black uniforms with flame patterns embroidered on their chests came over and started. Register people.
Lin Lichuan looked around without leaving any trace, and found that these men moved quickly and neatly when walking, and their eyes were sharp. They obviously had good skills and had undergone strict training. Their strength was estimated to have not reached level 6 extraordinary. The realm is not far different.
There were more than thirty similar people at the scene.
"These people should be the law enforcement team under the Black Flame Council." Lin Lichuan thought secretly in his heart.
The Black Flame Council is a very special organization on Black Flame Island and has a transcendent status on the island.
It is said to be a parliament, but it is not the highest governing body in the secular sense. It is only responsible for external affairs, such as communication with mainland countries and the entry of foreign people into the island. At most, it encounters a huge crisis on Black Flame Island. , for example, they would take action when foreign forces invaded, and most of the time they would just act as bystanders, allowing various organizations and gangs on the island to spring up one after another, and then fight each other, but always ignore and interfere.
It is precisely because there has never been a leader with sufficient prestige that Black Flame Island has become the extremely chaotic state it is today.
But if it hadn't been for this, perhaps it wouldn't have become a paradise for refugees and criminals.
While his thoughts were racing, a man wearing a black uniform and short red hair walked slowly up to Lin Lichuan, holding a stack of documents in his hand. He glanced up at him and asked lightly:
"Name?"
"Aiello."
The red-haired man rummaged through the documents for a while, and soon found the paper with Lin Lichuan's photo on it. After looking at the information for a few times, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up at Lin Lichuan in surprise.
"Are you an extraordinary person?"
"That's right." Lin Lichuan nodded.
Hearing this, the indifferent expression on the red-haired man's face immediately softened, he forced a smile, and continued to ask: "What is your biological energy level?"
Lin Lichuan raised his eyebrows: "Must I answer this question?"
"Not really, but Silver-level extraordinary beings whose biological energy level exceeds level 10 can apply to join the law enforcement team under the Black Flame Council. No assessment is required. As long as there are no problems with the background check, they can pass directly."
Lin Lichuan was relieved and immediately shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
The red-haired man was stunned, but he was not annoyed. He shrugged with regret, then took out a small chip card from his breast pocket and handed it to him.
"This is a trading card. There are 1,000 kana in it. It is a benefit given by the Black Flame Council to every transcendent who enters the Black Flame Island. This is the only time."
"In addition, Heiyan Island only recognizes kana and prohibits the circulation of other currencies."
Lin Lichuan took the trading card, turned it over and looked at it a few times, and found that it was similar to a bank card, except that there was a black flame logo printed on the front.
The red-haired man then asked a few more questions, then ended the registration, indicated that Lin Lichuan could leave, and then went to register the next person.
At this time, many people have registered and are walking towards the exit one after another. Most of them have a sad look on their faces.
The first difficulty of surviving on Black Flame Island has emerged.
Most of these people who have just set foot on Black Flame Island are just ordinary people. They do not have the benefits of extraordinary people, and they cannot use other currencies. They can be said to be penniless. After leaving the port, they must first face The question is how to earn enough kana to survive.
Lin Lichuan saw this and couldn't help but touch his pocket. Feeling the hard touch from his palm, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Heiyan Island respects the strong and the law of the jungle, the jungle law of the weak, is fully reflected the moment you set foot on the island.
This land is not so much a paradise for refugees and criminals as it is a paradise for the strong.
Shaking his head, Lin Lichuan gathered his thoughts and stepped out of the port.
The port seems to be located in a rather remote location. When you come outside, the first thing you see is a sparse forest. Looking through the gaps in the trees, you can vaguely see the desolate sand and gravel land on the opposite side.
When I walked out of the forest, I found that the surroundings were far more desolate than expected. The left, right and front were filled with bare hills and rocks. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but sand and stones.
Fortunately, the building complex finally appeared in the distance.
"That's the town of Black Flame Island, right?"
After calming down, Lin Lichuan strode towards the town.
The rest of the people also cheered up and continued on their way.
After walking for about two or three kilometers, everyone suddenly came to a place with less sand and gravel, and not far ahead was the entrance to the town.
However, everyone who looked around, including Lin Lichuan, looked shocked.
What you can see is an asphalt street full of potholes and cracks. On both sides of the street are countless high-rise concrete buildings, including buildings with more than ten floors and shops with two or three floors. These buildings are all without exception. They are all dilapidated, with cracks all over the outer walls and peeling paint. Some are even covered with vegetation, vines and moss, giving off a dilapidated atmosphere that has been invaded for a long time.
There are even huge holes in the walls of some buildings. Through the holes, you can vaguely see many figures in dirty gray robes inside the building, lying on the same shabby beds or sitting by the bonfire. As he ate in front of him, he seemed to regard these dilapidated buildings as his own home.
This... is completely a ruined town!
Lin Lichuan was stunned on the spot.
Even though he had learned from intelligence that Black Flame Island was a backward and desolate place, he never expected that it would look like this. It looked like an empty city after a disaster.
Many people stopped and stared blankly at the city in front of them, with their mouths wide open. It was obvious that they did not expect that Black Flame Island would be in such a scene.
After a while, Lin Lichuan woke up, his eyes moved slightly, and landed on the outer wall of a tall building not far away, with a scrawled '11' scrawled on it in pitch black letters.
Heiyan Island has a total of 12 cities, each named by a number, followed by a district. For example, the city closest to the port is called District 11.
Taking a gentle breath, Lin Lichuan withdrew his gaze and stepped onto the bumpy asphalt street.
There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and suddenly there were forty or fifty people, which immediately attracted the attention of the gray-robed figures in the building. Many figures got up and came to the window, standing there and staring.
Although his face was hidden under the brim of his hat, Lin Lichuan was still keenly aware of the malicious, heart-stopping gaze hidden in so many eyes, like a poisonous snake.
Some of the more sensitive people in the crowd also noticed ~IndoMTL.com~ their faces immediately turned pale and they hurriedly quickened their pace.
As we go deeper, the integrity of the buildings gradually increases, and there are many more clean and complete houses, and these houses are generally used as shops and restaurants.
There are gradually more pedestrians on the street, and it has become more lively. The pedestrians' clothes are no longer just dirty gray robes, but have become normal casual clothes, which are not much different from the clothes in the outside world.
Compared with the lifeless outer areas of the city just now, although everything in front of them was still crude and dilapidated, it still had a lively atmosphere of fireworks, which made the dozens of people who had just stepped into the city secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The crowd of forty or fifty people was quite conspicuous, attracting the attention of many people one after another. Seeing this, some of the smarter people in the crowd quietly left the crowd and disappeared into the flow of people on the street in the blink of an eye. Disappear.
Lin Lichuan did the same. He walked a few steps quickly, naturally separated from the crowd, and quickly and silently turned into a nearby alley.
Seeing this, several people in the crowd who had been looking at him rushed out of the crowd and followed him into the alley. Map of the Great Way of the Heavens
