Chapter 2061 Lizard Town
Looking at the metal suitcase, Iswin came up to him at this time.
"Boss, since everyone is dead, why don't we just swallow the money? Why go to Lizard Town to make deals again."
"Don't want the ship? And besides, If this trip can be successful, we may make money by running a few times later. With the capital, we can tinker with some Dogo gadgets and we will be prosperous again. "
Although there is no crew. , but fortunately with Loken, he was able to control the servitors on the ship. After four more hours of trouble, they finally landed outside a fragmented town.
This is located next to the huge sea of sewage in the bottom nest. It doesn't even have a decent parking area. There is only a piece of rotten wooden piles and wooden boards sparsely placed on the black coastline. After the boat is parked, there is not even a place to tie the cable. , can only anchor on the spot.
This is basically the lowest level of the hive city. There is no order and no security, so there is no need to cover up. They exposed all their weapons. Only in this way can they "dissuade" the thieves. , gangsters, mutant marauders, or something else.
Although the Underhive is synonymous with poverty and chaos, it is not without value. It is precisely because of its high degree of chaos and disorder that some things will attract law enforcement officers as long as they appear in the hive city. , can only be found through here.
Rozim, who was deeply in debt, had to carry out a transaction on behalf of a gang boss in Xiachao. Since this transaction would involve an outsider, it meant that the risks and profits were both high.
Very high——
Although most areas of the Bottom Nest are dark, due to the existence of the distant and huge wastewater treatment plant above, its long and bright light almost becomes a small moon, giving this area a unique hazy feel. Coupled with the resin-like smell in the air and a breeze blowing, it is difficult to imagine that this is the bottom nest.
However, the roadside road signs made of human spines and skulls, as well as the bones of giant reptiles, clearly tell all visitors that this is by no means a paradise.
The reason Lizard Town is called this is because a poisonous lizard about the size of an adult male lives in this area, called the Sleeping Lizard.
Sleeping lizards are amphibious creatures that also move in wastewater oceans. Perhaps due to long-term exposure to pollution, they also produce venom glands in their bodies. The toxins are very deadly to warm-blooded animals. However, it is an extremely powerful and safe anesthetic for cold-blooded creatures. Therefore, some bottom nest hunters will try to hunt these creatures and remove their poison glands to make powerful hunting anesthetics. This kind of thing is very popular among alien beast hunters because of its effectiveness. It is very strong and does not kill the prey. It even protects the brain and heart and lung activity of the prey, so there is no need to carefully consider the dosage.
Alien beast hunters will use sleeping lizard anesthetic to hunt those dangerous giant cold-blooded animals in the dead world, and sell them at high prices to the rulers and nobles who come to the nest to obtain huge profits.
The target of this transaction by Rozim and others is the sleeping lizard anesthetic. Soon they arrived at Lizard Town. It was said to be a small town, but it was actually a large hastily built metal structure and various tents, with a protective wall composed of rough metal spikes outside.
When the weird wind blew, the tent coverings fluttered in the breeze, they walked along a dirt road, while Rozim observed the residents coming and going.
Most of them are savage, rude and extremely aggressive.
According to a series of information he heard before, Rozim knew that there were about six forces in Lizard Town, and they could be seen on the streets,
The sleeping lizard hunters who first settled here were a group of agile warriors, wearing camouflage cloaks and light green clothes. There were totems erected on their territory, and each totem was painted with a lizard.
Then there is a violent gangster-turned-Venom Clan. Those cruel and vicious guys are scarred from head to toe due to some weird rituals, and each fingertip is wearing a poisonous thorn, just like a big bear. Like their claws, they make harsh sounds when they speak, and are always on the lookout for outsiders, and sometimes even claim to be the defenders of the town to collect protection fees from intruders.
Then there is the White Caveman family. They are a group of bottom nest refugees suffering from family albinism. Although they do not have strong military power, they are proficient in some mysterious knowledge. You can see the sturdy weapons they made in the small town. Teepee and burning strange herbs at the door, the drowsy aroma mixed with the smoke from the bottom nest, there is an eerie feeling.
The fourth one is the church in the small town. The influence of the state church often penetrates the lower class more than the rule of the empire, but some strange changes often occur during the penetration process. The church in Lizard Town is It was established by a barbarian shaman who didn't know where he came from. He claimed that by taking a trace amount of sleeping lizard anesthetic, believers could briefly contact the emperor. In fact, they were essentially a group of drug dealers who made the sleeping lizard venom gland into a certain kind of medicine. hallucinogens for sale.
Those priests call themselves Dream Apostles, always wearing robes made of sleeping lizard skin, their eyes full of viciousness and gloom, and they will always charge outsiders or others in the name of collecting the "Holy Tithe" Unsuspecting people demand money or even turn the other person into a slave.
The last group, in principle, can be regarded as the real "managers" of Lizard Town. Their leader holds a Sheriff's Letter of Appointment issued by an unknown legal department bureau and claims to be appointed by the Imperial Ministry of Justice to protect and maintain order here. It's a pity that Six generations after that mandate was passed down, they probably no longer remember their responsibilities. Only guards in black metal armor are left walking around the crowd, demanding respect and taxes.
And the guns in their hands have become more convincing than their identities.
In addition to these people, Lizard Town also has many outsiders. Every day there are twenty to thirty thousand non-resident residents who come here for various purposes, including businessmen, bounty hunters, refugees, or people like Luo Zim is someone who is prepared to conduct some secret transactions.
You can see people wearing colorful costumes, but they all carry weapons uniformly, and they are not placed in holsters or belts, but held in their hands or inserted casually into their clothes, as if ready to duel.
There is no sign of law here, no imperial rule, and all the "higher people" are not interested in the lawless world under their feet, but Rozim has a good feeling about this place, and he has a premonition that he He will find a way to make a fortune here. Although he doesn't have much capital now, as the saying goes, as long as his thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
