Vol 2 Chapter 24: First city

More than a week later, the army green jeep was driving on a piece of scorched land.
　　 Here you can see collapsed houses, luxuriantly creepy deformed plants, and only occasionally strange-shaped beasts and hunters passing by the ruins using various means of transportation.
"This area is the place that suffered the most damage when the old world was destroyed." Bai Chen, who was in the position of the co-driver, looked out the window and said with emotion, "But it is near this area that mankind has established the first place in the new calendar. city."
In the textbook of "Pangu Biology", it only mentioned that the city was the first city built by humans relying on the ruins of the old world. It did not say that its neighboring area was the most severely damaged place, which made Long Yuehong listen to it. Somewhat fascinated, said to himself:
　　 "They should have suffered a lot and paid a lot..."
　　 but not beaten.
　　 "Well, no matter what the'Initial City' has become now, they were able to persist from the end of the day and rebuild a civilization that belongs to mankind. It deserves our appreciation." Jiang Baimian who drove the car echoed.
　　 Happiness, Shang Jianyao clapped directly.
　　 "What is there to applaud?" Jiang Baimian was a little bit ashamed and angry.
　　 Shang Jian Yao answered truthfully:
　　 "What you said just now reminds me of the teachers in school."
　　 "Are you allowed to applaud during class?" Jiang Baimian replied angrily.
　　 Shang Jian Yao glanced at her profile:
　　 "In addition to class, there is a court meeting."
　　 He looked like "Did you never go to school".
　　 Jiang Baimian grinds his teeth and casts his eyes forward.
　　 As the jeep drove fast, a river wide enough to make Long Yuehong amazed appeared in front of them.
　　 Honghe.
　　 The longest and widest river above the dust.
　　 Its water waves don't look so clean, and green floating algae and all kinds of drift over it from time to time.
　　 On the other side of it, there are densely populated low-rise buildings, with chimneys towering, spraying pale or rusty gas upwards.
　　 This makes the entire sky look foggy, even if it is not evening, the light is quite dim.
　　 A loud noise came, and two dark black helicopters flew in mid-air.
　　 A little further away, a drone hovered back and forth, patrolling the territory.
　　 This made Long Yuehong hold his breath.
　　 This means that they have arrived at the Capital City of the "First City".
　　 After leaving Yecao City, the "old tune group" went to a wilderness homeless settlement to replenish food on the way, and most of the rest of the time traveled through the wilderness.
Although the "Initial City" is known as the largest power on the dust and the population is also the first, it can actually control only large and small settlements, places that can be called cities, areas around them that can be cultivated or possess mineral resources, and main traffic.
　　 For the wilderness, forests, swamps, and ruins, the "First City" is beyond reach. Therefore, the "Old Tune Team" has only encountered too many relic hunters along the way, and has never encountered the "First City" regular army.
　　 Now, they are finally about to officially come into contact with the biggest force on the dust.
In the jeep, apart from Shang Jianyao's undisguised expression of his excitement, Jiang Baimian and others also showed a certain degree of expectation more or less. Even the intelligent robot, Genava, also followed the program analysis. The result makes myself look more excited.
　　 After driving down the Red River for a while, the number of chimneys gradually became scarce, and tall buildings made of steel and concrete rose from the ground.
　　 There are a large number of ordinary buildings between them, which together form a real city.
　　 Even compared with the ruins of Marsh No. 1, it is not inferior.
　　 "How many people can this live?" Long Yuehong asked with emotion.
　　 "It is said that there are tens of millions of people." Bai Chen was unable to give an accurate figure because the statistics department of "Chingcheng" also couldn't figure it out.
　　Moreover, there are many hunters and caravans here, and the floating population is the most dusty.
　　 While talking, the "Old Tune Team" saw a bridge.
　　 It can hold eight cars in parallel, connecting the wasteland, mountains and the first city on the south bank of the Red River.
　　 At both ends of the bridge, a well-armed regular army was stationed, each with a hundred or so men.
　　 They wore dark gray helmets, uniforms of the same color, and drove multiple machine guns. They used a few dark green armored vehicles to form a simple fortification at the bridge head, leaving only a gap for two ordinary vehicles.
　　 Every car and everyone has to stop and undergo strict inspections when they pass through the gap.
　　According to the information provided by the company before the group’s departure, Jiang Baimian knew that light weapons could be brought into the city, and heavy weapons would be confiscated, as were the rest of the contraband.
　　 Unfortunately, military exoskeleton devices are under military control.
　　Of course, the "old-tuned team" can also choose to take a detour to go to the south bank of the Red River from other places, but at first the entrance passages outside the city were also stationed by troops, and there were various aircraft monitoring this area in the sky.
　　Long Yuehong wasn't nervous about this, just glanced sideways at Shang Jian Yao.
　　 There is a "reasoning clown", where can I not get in?
　　 The army green jeep continued forward and quickly entered the queue channel.
　　 Jiang Baimian stepped on the brake and looked out.
　　 On the scorched black ground around, there are many people with old clothes squatting or standing.
　　 Some of them are of the standard Red River race, with sunken eye sockets and eye-catching hair color, and some of them have darker brown complexion with black eyes, thin and slender.
　　 The latter is a branch of the Grey Turks migrating to the Red River Basin, called the Hongan People.
　　In "First City", most of them have citizenship.
　　 Seeing Jiang Baimian roll down the car window, a red banker with a maximum of 1.65 meters stood up and walked to the "old tune group".
　　His black hair has obvious natural curls, and his dark brown face has a pleasing smile:
　　 "How many, do you want to help?"
　　He uses pure Red River language.
　　 pure refers to the original city accent.
　　 Jiang Baimian raised his eyebrows without answering.
　　 The red banker glanced left and right, pressed his voice and said:
　　 "I have a way to let you enter the city without being checked, but I need you to pay some money."
　　 He used his index finger and thumb to count banknotes.
　　 Jiang Baimian thought for a moment, and then made eye contact with Bai Chen and the others.
　　 Then, she said to the guy outside the car window in Honghe language:
　　 "How do you call it?"
　　 "Jadi." The red banker replied with a smile.
　　 "How much do you need?" Jiang Baimian continued to ask.
　　 "50 Ore." Jadi reported the number, "It's very cheap."
　　 Jiang Baimian pretended to be thinking, and said after a few seconds:
"How to do?"
　　 Jiadi’s smile is more obvious:
　　 "You follow me, go somewhere else and wait."
　　 Jiang Baimian hit the steering wheel and asked Jeep to follow the "guide" and slowly drive towards the ruins on the bank of the Red River.
　　 There are no people here, it seems very quiet.
　　 Jiadi pointed to a roadside room that was still intact and said:
　　 "Sit down and wait, I'll discuss with the guards when to enter the city."
　　 Tables, chairs, benches and other utensils are placed in that room.
　　 Jiang Baimian glanced at both sides of the room, and opened the car door unnecessarily.
　　 With a sincere smile, Jiadi watched several members of the "Old Tune Group" come down one by one.
　　 When Gnava's tall silver and black body came into his eyes, his expression changed in an instant.
　　 At this time, Jiang Baimian pointed to the roadside room and said:
　　 "You can let your companion out."
　　 Jiadi tried to squeeze a smile:
　　 "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."
　　 As soon as his voice fell, Long Yuehong had opened the trunk, picked up the individual combat rocket launcher, and aimed at the direction Jiang Baimian pointed.
　　 After a short silence, four or five people came out there, all of them red shore people with dark brown complexion, with slightly old assault rifles and mini submachine guns in their hands.
　　 "You are very enthusiastic." Shang Jianyao said with a smile.
　　 Jiadi forcibly explained:
　　 "This is just a little protection for our own safety."
　　Shang Jian Yao walked over, taking advantage of his height, stretched out his hands, helped Jadi squeeze his shoulders, and asked in a very friendly tone:
　　 "Are you comfortable? Do you want to use more force?"
　　 I heard Jiang Baimian and the others' mouths move slightly. I don't know what disease this guy has committed, or what old world entertainment materials have been read recently.
　　 Jiadi felt fear inexplicably, and could no longer control himself, shouting loudly:
　　 "Put down the gun, put down the gun!"
　　 The Hongan people slowly bent over, put down their guns, and raised their hands.
　　 Shang Jian Yao continued to massage Jiadi's shoulders, and asked in a soft voice:
　　 "If we don't enter this ruin, what are you going to do?"
　　 "Yes, I will help you buy those guards and let them simply check your car." Jiadi replied tremblingly.
　　Shang saw Yao smile and asked again:
　　 "How many people do you usually grab like this?"
　　 "No, not many, most people are not fooled, but come." Jiadi said with a sad face.
　　At this moment~EbookFREE.me~ Jiang Baimian asked:
　　 "How many ore does it take to buy through the guards?"
　　 "That's enough," Jardi replied fearfully.
　　 Seeing Yao's face suddenly changed, Shang kicked this guy down and took out the pistol from his waist:
　　 "You want us 50.
　　 "You profiteer!"
　　 Seeing the black faint muzzle aiming here, Jiadi almost couldn't control his bladder, peeing on his pants.
　　 "We, we only rob and don't harm people." He hurriedly cried out injustice.
　　 Shang Jian Yao suddenly smiled again, pulled him up, and patted the dust on his body:
　　 "Don't be afraid, we are very kind, but I still want to ask you some questions."
　　 Watching here, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his face.
　　 There are so many scenes with this guy!
　　 Jiadi glanced at his companions stared at by the robot, and smiled hard:
"Speaking."
　　 "Are the guards here easily bought?" Jiang Baimian asked Shang Jian Yao, "helping" him.
　　 Jiadi nodded quickly:
　　 "As long as it is not a big problem, they all prefer Ole.
　　 "Anyway, whatever contraband was found, it also benefited from the above. For ordinary citizens like Ole, it is real."
　　PS: I said it yesterday, there is only one watch today.
