Chapter 71 Danlin Town and Chip
“Thank you, big brother!”
Hearing this, Huo Qing was immediately overjoyed - according to the habits of the local people in Fuchen, if he was caught and questioned for his tongue, he would have to thank the emperor if he was not silenced afterwards.
As for the injury on his shoulder, it is not serious at all. For a practitioner, it will be almost healed to the point that it will not affect activities in a few days or so.
But now, this injury makes it difficult for him to move. With no one to help him, he really can't return to town before morning.
When the time comes, if you encounter those 'jackal monks' who pick up corpses, or teams from other gangs who collect corpses, the other party will definitely not mind turning him into a real corpse!
Once you're ready, it's time to set off.
Under Huo Qing's narration, Anjing also had a general understanding of Danlin Town.
Danlin Town is located to the east of the central part of Fuchen Plain. It is one of the largest towns among the seventeen towns in Fuchen Plain. It has a permanent population of more than 50,000 and houses eight large-scale alchemy workshops, ranging from muskets to sword boxes and production lines for various magical instruments. , there is also an extremely developed spiritual grass cultivation industry.
Almost half of the elixirs in Fuchenyuan are produced here, as well as the initial processing of raw materials for many large enterprises in Xuanye City.
In addition, some special wooden magic weapons, ornamental spiritual plants and accompanying combat spiritual plants are also produced here.
With An Jing's speed, he quickly carried Huo Qing to the area around Danlin Town.
Its center is not a huge furnace like other Fuchen original towns, but a giant tree over 300 meters high. Its canopy shades half of the town, and it looks like a green hill from a distance. , the roots penetrate deeply into the earth and rise into mounds.
Dense white greenhouses cover its roots, using the power of this giant tree to cultivate many spiritual plants.
This is the 'Danleaf Green Wood', which is the greenest plant that Anjing has ever seen in Tianyuan World. Most of the plants in this world have become charred and decayed due to the erosion of demonic energy and acid rain. Only this giant tree is full of vitality.
"There may be such a giant tree deep in the mountains of Huaixu Realm." An Jing looked at the giant tree in the distance and sighed in his heart: "Creation is so magical that it can create such a great thing!"
"That's it..."
Seeing the familiar giant tree, Huo Qing, who had been pinched on the back of his neck all night, breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm back."
As the night passed, the morning light began to dawn, and the shouts of killing in the floating dust field gradually stopped, and all the convoys returned from various places in the wilderness.
Among them, there were also many wounded soldiers like An Jing and Huo Qing who helped each other return to their respective strongholds, stumbling back to their respective strongholds.
"Phew, it's safe." Looking at this situation, Huo Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "The gang just sent a message, saying that the temporary truce will not affect the normal production of the town during the day."
"We can go back to town, brother."
"Sending a message?"
An Jing also noticed the unusual light in Huo Qing's eyes, and the fact that the other party suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had received some news: "When."
And Huo Qing pointed to his forehead honestly and said: "It's a chip. People in the wilderness don't have it. Only those of us in the safe zone and the city have it."
"Interesting, there is such a thing?"
An Jing also became interested at this time. The technology and various magical artifacts in the Tianyuan world have really reached an extremely powerful level. Although it is not yet known what this kind of chip is, it may be similar to some concepts he knew in his previous life. ?
If it is really that kind of brain chip, can you try to get one yourself?
If the functions were richer, I feel like having a chip would be a dimensionality reduction blow in the Huaixu world!
"How can a...wilderness like me get a chip?"
He asked as soon as he thought of it, An Jing's tone was rarely full of longing.
But Huo Qing was in trouble: "I really don't know this...my chip was given when I was born. Every newborn in the safe zone has it, which is considered a proof of identity."
“Those who don’t have it are all ‘wildernesses’.”
Speaking of this, Huo Qing searched his mind and recalled some rumors: "But I know that there are indeed rumors that the wilderness people have obtained chips, but it is very difficult... I will go back and help you find relevant information?"
"Then I'll trouble you."
An Jing is not in a hurry, as long as he knows there is such a thing.
His current main goal is to use the weapons and equipment of Tianyuan Realm to get rid of the demon sect's pursuers in Huaixu Realm.
If you can't handle this, everything else is just lies.
With its walls, ditches and towers, Danlin is more of a small fortress than a town.
The entire town is surrounded by a special kind of lead-gray masonry. Each of the four gates has two strange high-voltage towers erected like high-voltage electric towers. The smooth spiritual inscriptions flash, outlining four different colors of formation patterns.
"A simplified version of the Four Spirits Suppressing Demon Array." Sword Spirit commented: "North Xuanwu, West White Tiger, East Green Dragon, South Suzaku, four spirits in four directions, suppressing demons and condensing energy, and there is an evergreen red wood in the center as a large array Once the central suppression is activated with all its strength, ordinary Zifu masters will not be able to get in. "This town is well built and has expert guidance."
"The spiritual energy is also much richer." An Jing also felt that the air was much fresher after approaching Danlin Town, with a sweet smell in the mountains.
He took a deep breath, and even felt relaxed and happy: "There is a huge difference between the town and the wilderness, and the air quality is far better."
No joke, An Jing believes that if the average lifespan of people in the wilderness is only forty or fifty years old, then with the air alone, people in cities can live twenty years longer than them.
However, considering the brutality of the fight between urban gangs, we can only refer to the natural life span.
An Jing took Huo Qing to the South City Gate. The sergeant guarding the gate was extremely well-equipped. He was wearing a light blue exoskeleton armor. The style was somewhat similar to An Jing's Mingguang Armor in his previous life, but it was nearly three meters tall. , mostly composed of steel.
The sergeants, who were clearly not gang members, checked the faces of everyone who entered the town, scanned and registered them, and then let them go.
When it was An Jing's turn, An Jing was not nervous and took off his face mask and gas mask generously - this immediately shocked Huo Qing who was standing beside him. He didn't expect that his savior would also show no mercy. The person holding a gun to his head and asking him for information turned out to be a teenager.
"Wild man?"
The city guard sergeant did not search Anjing's appearance from the database of past entries into the city, and he did not care much: "It costs five good deeds to enter the city for the first time, and one good deed each time after that."
Of course An Jing has no such thing as good deeds, but before he could say whether it would be okay to replace it with something, Huo Qing on the side quickly said: "I'll pay for him!"
The payment was very simple. Huo Qing and the guard looked into each other's eyes, and the orange light flashed in their pupils.
"The strength is not low..."
After An Jing followed Huo Qing into Danlin Town, he looked around thoughtfully. He could sense that the gates and towers of Danlin Town were guarded by practitioners who were probably high-level or even peak Qi refining practitioners. The owner of the medicine shop is still strong.
In the city, they saw an entire brigade of armed sergeants patrolling the city as soon as they entered the city.
"If the force is so strong, why are there still gangs?"
An Jing couldn't help but ask, but Huo Qing on the side was a little puzzled: "The city guard troops are directly under the mayor, so they must be strong in force, but why do they have to control gangs?"
"We pay taxes honestly, and it doesn't bother the mayor or him, right?"
However, upon reflection, An Jing was indeed a wilderness man who knew nothing about the town. Huo Qing explained the nature of the gang to An Jing.
It turns out that the gang is essentially a ‘military force’ jointly supported by major companies in Fuchenyuan.
Take the Dayhu Gang as an example. Behind it are three large-scale magic weapon forging workshops and several mining companies in Fuchenyuan. Baoguang Pavilion, which mainly manufactures 'Qingling Powder' in Danlin Town, is also their supporter.
Further up, behind these workshops and companies, there are also the main companies and large groups of Xuanye City.
The mayor of Danlin Town was actually appointed by a large group in Xuanye City. The two parties were originally from the same family. One was a directly affiliated force, and the other was a local armed force spontaneously put together by a small company below. Naturally, they could not offend each other. Difficult.
On the contrary, different gangs, representing companies from different camps, may be competitors or may have enmities with each other.
In short, if force is needed, the gangs will fight, and the company is responsible for arming these violent gangs to destroy the targets of rival companies.
——So, the gang war here is also a business war in a sense?
An Jing couldn't help but laugh at his own thoughts, but if he thought about it carefully, if the essence of gangs was the mercenary groups of major companies, this definition was really okay.
"We have entered the city, what should we do next?"
Thinking of this, at this moment, Anjing's stomach turned and made a loud noise after a hard night's work.
Don't get me wrong, a warrior's stomach won't move on its own. An Jing moved it himself.
"Big, big brother..."
At this time, Huo Qing, who had seen An Jing's true face and true age, was a little unable to say the word "eldest brother".
But in the end, he couldn't think of any other title and said with difficulty: "You sent me back to town safely. Words cannot express my gratitude. If you don't mind, I would like to treat you to a meal and then discuss the remuneration?" "
"That's a good feeling."
After succeeding, Anjing rubbed his belly. Naturally, he was not polite. Although he had sneaked into the town, he didn't have a penny on him, so he couldn't move forward.
If he could get some gold coins from Huo Qing, or if he knew from him a store where the loot could be recovered, Anjing could start purchasing the weapons and materials he wanted.
