Chapter 602: Han Bing’s life-saving method
Translator: 549690339
It took Lu Xin some time to understand what han Bing was trying to say.
Black Swamp city had such serious pollution, but no one knew where the source of the pollution was.
Even in Black Swamp city’s request for help, it was not clearly stated what the direct cause of this pollution was.
Therefore, they naturally did not know whether the contamination was caused by some sort of unconscious source of contamination, some sort of mental monster, or even some ability user. Under such circumstances, going to their door rashly would only increase the unnecessary danger.
They didn’t even know if they would fall into an unknown trap if they went to the door directly.
It had to be said that han Bing was indeed more careful in considering this problem than him.
“I’ll listen to you, then.”
Lu Xin readily agreed to han Bings suggestion.
After a night’s rest, they continued on their way to Black Swamp city. They entered the city’s territory after noon the next day.
Black Swamp city got its name from the damp and dark swamps around it.
Originally, Black Swamp city wasn’t like this.
However, after the bloody moon incident, order had collapsed. Some water irrigation facilities had gradually decayed due to a lack of maintenance, causing a large amount of flooding. No one managed it. In addition, due to other factors such as weather and terrain, it eventually formed a large swamp.
Looking up, there were puddles and mud everywhere, giving off a dark, damp, and cold feeling.
However, the formation of this kind of swamp had become an advantage to prevent these lunatics from approaching in the past when they were running around in the wilderness. Therefore, someone had built a high-walled city in the middle of this dark swamp and gathered a large number of people.
The steel monster drove through the swamp, and the road that meandered forward seemed quiet and monotonous.
In the dark, endless swamp, withered reeds and dead trees could be seen everywhere.
There were clusters in the East and clusters in the West. Their shapes were strange, and their branches were ferocious. At first glance, they looked like quiet and motionless skeletons.
What would a city that had been robbed of half a month’s sleep look like? It was unexpected, but it was actually very normal.
Lu Xin and the others followed the main road and arrived at the East Gate of the third satellite city, which was located to the East of Black Swamp city. There, they saw the steel suspension bridge lowered. A road paved with thick iron plates led directly to the satellite city. In front of the suspension bridge, there were barbed wire, wooden frames, and sentries.
Two groups of four-man soldiers guarded the bridge and checked the passing vehicles.
Looking at the layout, it was heavily guarded, but they all looked lazy, with a sense of fatigue.
“Hello, I’m here to do business …
The car drove to the door, and han Bing handed the four documents to the lizard in the driver’s seat. Then, the lizard poked its head out, holding a stack of documents, along with a few hundred Yuan bills in the documents, and handed them directly to the soldiers who came with guns.
Lu Xin was slightly curious.
What han Bing meant was to enter the city and see the situation before making any plans without alerting the other party’s administrative office.
However, if the other party knew the purpose of their group, wouldn’t they be exposed?
But what he didn’t expect was that the other soldier only took a few glances at it and handed it back, but the few banknotes in it were gone. Then, one of the heads stuck one out into the car and said, “”Did you bring any guns with you?”
“Boss, I only brought two men’s guns. I didn’t bring any other guns,” lizard said with a smile.
The soldier immediately glared at the lizard and said,”Stop smiling.”
The lizard’s face tensed up.
The soldier waved his hand. go in. Don’t cause any trouble in the city. If you really cause trouble …
As long as you pay us, we’ll settle this for you.”
how human . . .
Lu Xin couldn’t help but sigh as the car drove into the city.
Lu Xin was still a little confused. He turned around and looked at han Bing, who was taking the stack of documents. As if she knew what Lu Xin was thinking, han Bing opened one of the documents with a smile and saw her photo inside. Her address was xxx city’s XXX company, and there was also a steel seal and official seal. She smiled and said, “I’ve already considered the issue of concealment, so I’ve prepared a few more identities for us.”
if we want to, we can be a special medical team from qingang, a vagrant from a country on the sea, a merchant from a large gathering point who sells black tobacco, or even a Knight order that works with the central city.
Lu Xin’s respect for han Bing grew as soon as he heard han Bings words. This little girl was too meticulous.
As the car drove into the main road of the third satellite city of Black Swamp city, Lu Xin and the others were greeted with the sight of the bustling city.
At this time, it was the beginning of the night. The lights of the streets and shops on both sides of the street were already lit up. The lights were red and green, and people were wandering around. There were a variety of goods and women with heavy makeup, alcohol and low-quality perfume, and the smell of vomit …
Lu Xin rolled up the car window and whispered, ” this place looks even more prosperous than Green Harbor …
“Everyone’s way of survival is different.”
Han Bing explained with a smile, ” there are many swamps around Black Swamp city, and it’s difficult to grow crops. However, because of this large swamp, the roads on the East and West sides are isolated. If you want to take a detour, it’s too far, and if you want to cross, you have to pass through Black
Swamp city. Therefore, this place has formed a business-based survival mode. It’s mainly used as a transit for goods and collecting taxes from major business groups.
in addition to these, the caravans and people from all walks of life such as business groups, Knights, and travelers gathered here, giving birth to a large number of gambling dens and brothels … That kind of business, plus the fact that Black Swamp city itself is the largest black grass plantation base in the Alliance, has accumulated a lot of wealth. But because of this, Black Swamp city is in chaos. The upper levels are greedy for pleasure, while the lower levels are mixed with all kinds of people.”
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for us to sneak in!”
“Black grass?”
Lu Xin understood han Bings words, but his attention was caught by a few strange words.
He had also heard of this name when he was in qingang, but it seemed that it was strictly forbidden in qingang.
“Yes, it’s the kind of thing you understand.”
Han Bing said, ” although blackmarsh joined the Alliance with his wealth, strength, and important central position, his way of living is closer to the wilderness in some ways. Things like black grass are strictly prohibited in other high-wall cities. But here, on the surface, they abide by the Alliance’s laws and are forbidden to circulate, But in the dark … Hehe, I support the trade of this thing.”
Lu Xin could tell that han Bing was already being very tactful.
However, he didn’t feel anything strange when he heard these things.
Even though Black Swamp city was right outside the window, he still subconsciously felt that these things were very far away from him.
It was probably because every city had its own temperament.
What seemed unbelievable in Green Harbor was only natural in the black Swamp.
The lizard drove slowly through the crowd without interrupting Lu Xin and han Bing.
“We’ll talk about the blame later. Captain, where are we going now?”
Lu Xin snapped out of his daze and looked out the window at the busy streets.
The buildings on both sides of the city were dark, and the crowd was like a web. One could only know how big the city was if they were in it.
Especially since this was only one of the satellite cities of Black Swamp city. There were four other cities of similar or even larger scale …
It was too huge …
And such a huge place had already been completely enveloped by that mysterious contamination?
At the very least, no clues could be seen from the surface.
Lu Xin sighed and turned to han Bing.”Do you have any suggestions now?”
Han Bing was holding a small spiritual energy detector and was looking at the numbers on it. When she heard Lu Xin’s words, she raised her head and smiled. my suggestion is that we can find a place to stay after traveling for several days. We can make other plans later.
“Then let’s find a place to stay,” Lu Xin said.
“Since this place might be contaminated, you’ll be fine, right?”
Han Bing was not an ability user. Naturally, her resistance to contamination would be weaker than his.
After hearing Lu Xin’s words, han Bing put on the small mental energy detector on her wrist. It looked like an ordinary electronic watch. She raised her head and smiled. since I’m going to work in such a dangerous place, I’ve made some preparations. If there’s any pollution approaching me, I can at least detect it in advance and hold on for at least ten seconds …
“And then?” Lu Xin asked.
“Of course I’m going to ask for help from Mr. Shan Bing …” Han Bing looked at him and said.
Lu Xin couldn’t refute that.
After deciding on a place to stay, they began to look for a suitable place. Soon, near the city center of the blackmarsh satellite city No. 3, they saw a luxurious hotel. They parked the car outside and entered the hotel together.
The lobby was quiet, but loud music was playing behind the counter.
A lady at the front desk was wearing a professional suit. She was facing a digital camera on the front desk, shaking her head and flicking her hair wildly to the music. In this empty Hall, The Sound of Music reverberated, making it more or less empty and strange.
However, she was very excited. Her hair was like a mop, making a rustling sound.
“Big move …”
The lizard also twisted to the music, then knocked on the counter and said with a smile, king-sized rooms.”
“Why did you specifically ask for a king- sized room?” Lu Xin asked, confused.
Behind the counter, the woman who was jumping to the music didn’t seem to hear the lizard’s words.
“Hey … Four, king-sized room …”
The lizard reached out and turned off the speaker, raising its voice.
“Swish!”
The music suddenly stopped, and the front desk lady suddenly stopped.
It seemed a little strange that it had suddenly stopped after a crazy shake.
Under the hair that was scattered in front of her, a pair of bloodshot eyes turned over and looked at them with a hollow gaze..
