"There are so many homeless people, who knows if they are carrying any infectious diseases? At a time like this, a basic inspection must be done, or else everyone will die together." Feilin is quite familiar with similar procedures.

"Yeah." Long Yuehong nodded, and then asked, "Hey, why are there no old people..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses:

"I understand."

In such a cold season, and lack of clothing and food, those who are a little bit older will definitely not be able to make it to Weed City. It is better to kill yourself and concentrate resources on future generations.

This might even include their dead bodies.

This recognition made Long Yuehong feel uncomfortable.

Fei Lin then patted Long Yuehong on the shoulder:

"Hey, get used to it, it's dust.

"Wait until the first snow falls and it will get worse."

Having said that, he looked to the north:

"I heard that it's snowing in the Black Marsh Wilderness..."

"Snow disaster..." Bai Chen, who was driving, recalled something.

Jiang Baimian immediately comforted her:

"Fortunately, Shuiwei Town doesn't have to worry about these problems."

After moving slowly for a while, the convoy finally passed the inspection and entered Wild Grass City.

Long Yuehong looked outside subconsciously, and found that the road was paved with blue or gray stone bricks, which looked very regular, but they were a bit narrow, barely enough for two cars to pass.

The buildings on the side of the road are not too tall, with a maximum of five floors, and the tops are in the shape of cornices and bucket arches.

The ground floor is a row of rooms facing the street, which is very similar to the ruins of the city deep in the swamp.

Similarly, they all have their own signs.

Long Yuehong took a quick look and saw names such as "Time-honored Noodle House", "Axiu Non-staple Food", "Zhangji Grain and Oil", "Ziyuan City Office" and "Shooting Internet Cafe".

Even on the electric poles beside the road, there are sheets of white paper with the words "Specializing in the treatment of difficult and miscellaneous diseases" written on them.

In addition to these, Long Yuehong also saw many signboards written in Honghe script.

This includes words like "restaurant", "club", "bread".

It wasn't until this time that Long Yuehong deeply realized that "Wild Grass City" was a part of "Original City"—nearly half of the pedestrians on the road were black-haired and brown-eyed, but only half.The rest have blond hair, brown hair, blue eyes, and green eyes.

Of course, because it was winter and the wind was biting, there were not too many passers-by outside.

"It looks very lively." Long Yuehong said with emotion.

"That's not to mention, for the past two months, cars couldn't be driven." Flynn said with a smile, "The roads here were not originally designed for vehicles. They are narrow and easy to be crushed."

"That's it..." Long Yuehong nodded, and looked out the window again, just like Shang Jianyao.

On the telephone poles, all kinds of lines are pulled to different places without planning, which looks very messy, as if dividing the sky.

As the vehicle moved forward, Long Yuehong saw another signboard:

"South Street Slave Market"

Long Yuehong fell silent for a moment.

Chapter 14 History

Felin didn't seem to notice Long Yuehong's silence, and continued to introduce:

"Wild Grass City is not big, and the layout is very simple. It is divided into southeast and northwest streets. There are also some alleys on each street. Well, only one car can enter and exit.

"South Street is mainly a market. You can buy all kinds of things as long as you find the right person, including marijuana from Bliss Island..."

Flynn didn't finish speaking and skipped the following content:

"The East Street is dominated by hotels, hotels, warehouses, and parking lots, while the West Street has hunters' guilds, bars, teahouses, bathing centers, and nightclubs.

"To get to North Street, you must first pass the central square and the municipal building, and then there is a small bridge with a dozen or twenty heavily armed guards on the bridge.

"North Street is where noble lords, owners of various manors, and wealthy businessmen live, and the City Lord's Mansion is also there."

What Fei Lin said was known to Jiang Baimian and others. After all, there was a competent guide like Bai Chen, but they still listened carefully, as if they didn't want to miss any details.

As the convoy moved forward, Flynn withdrew his gaze and asked thoughtfully:

"Do you have hunter badges?"

"No." Shang Jian Yao was very calm.

"No." Jiang Baimian and Long Yuehong shook their heads, but Bai Chen didn't answer.

Flynn smiled:

"If you have a chance, go and register as a relic hunter.

"It's okay in other places. In Wild Grass City, there is no hunter badge, so it's not so convenient."

"Has this become a city dominated by the Hunter Guild?" Jiang Baimian asked knowingly.

She has a certain understanding of Wild Grass City itself, and Bai Chen is very familiar with it.

Flynn thought about it seriously and said:

"From a certain point of view, it really counts."

He smiled and explained:

"You know the situation when Wild Grass City was first established?"

"I don't know." Bai Chen who was driving was the first to answer.

In the past, she was a wanderer in the wilderness struggling to make a living. Her understanding of Wild Grass City was more about the information that could be used immediately, and she didn't pay much attention to its history.

Seeing that Jiang Baimian also turned his body to look over, Fei Lin stroked the gray beard around his mouth and said:

"At that time, the surviving people gathered here, naturally forming a dozen or so armed groups.

"After a fierce internal firefight, there were seven left, and no one could do anything to the other.

"In addition to the threat of wild beasts, monsters, and 'unintentional people', they realized that if the fight continues like this, everyone will die, so they compromised with each other and set up a council. Each armed group has one vote, electing the city lord, and working together. "

Hearing this, Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"Primitive Military Democracy."

Then she sighed:

"The cycle of human civilization..."

Primitive military democracy... Long Yuehong repeated this term in her heart, and found that she knew every word, but it was a little difficult to understand when they were linked together.

Everyone is an employee of "Pangaea Biology" and receives the same education. Why can the team leader master so much extra knowledge?

Because she can read a lot of extracurricular books?

Flynn was also taken aback, he didn't expect to hear such an academic term.

Of course, with his understanding of the systems of various places, he easily understood what this meant.

"It doesn't matter whether it's primitive or not, as long as it's easy to use." Flynn expressed his thoughts, and continued, "This has allowed Weed City to survive the most dangerous period, and it has continued. Although this cannot be completely eliminated Internal strife, every power struggle is more or less accompanied by blood, but at least it is controlled to a certain extent."

He looked out the window again:

"Later, Wild Grass City became a vassal of the 'First City', and the leaders of the seven armed groups slowly evolved into the great nobles of this area.

"They each have a group of minor nobles who are in charge of the large and small manors built around Wild Grass City.

"Hehe, two words were added to the Council, and it became the Council of Nobles.

"Later, an illegitimate son of a family climbed to the position of the local president of the Hunter's Guild relying on his own efforts and the family's resources.

"It was nothing at all, but in an internal coup, the head of that family became extinct. In order to prevent the branch from inheriting, the illegitimate child was recognized and became the head of the family and became a nobleman.

"Relying on his status in the Hunter's Guild and his family's property and materials, he gradually won over a group of powerful relic hunters without attracting attention. Well, this can also be called mercenaries in other places. Anyway, I I suspect that there may be some awakened people in it.

"In short, after several internal strife, the illegitimate son was elected as the city lord. Since then, the power of the noble council has been in name only, and the election system has been played into a disguised family inheritance system."

"There is a sense of historical recurrence..." Jiang Baimian laughed after listening, "This is the reason why the local hunter guild is relatively strong."

Flynn nodded:

"Yes, now every city lord will also serve as the local president of the Hunter's Guild."

"It seems that in different places, there will be some changes in the Hunter's Guild. I haven't seen much before." Jiang Baimian is very satisfied with knowing this.

Bai Chen suddenly asked:

"That illegitimate child is the stone statue in front of the municipal building?"

"Yeah." Flynn laughed, "Xulde is known as the greatest city lord of Wild Grass City so far. When he was alive, he loosened many restrictions, making Wild Grass City the most developed, most dynamic and most agricultural in the wasteland of monks. If this is not the case for a basic city, it is impossible for Wild Grass City to not be short of food in this year's climate.

"However, after he was elected as the lord of the city, when paving the way for the next generation, in order to gain the support of the 'Original City', he abolished many important industries in Wild Grass City and imported them from there. In this area, Wild Grass City has completely become' A vassal of the First City'.

"But it's a good thing for us. Every year, we run many times between Wild Grass City and 'Original City'."

As the head of a business group traveling all over the world, he has these secrets at his fingertips.

While speaking, the convoy turned into Dongjie and drove outside a hotel.

The name of the hotel is "Grand Hotel Miri" and it occupies three rooms facing the street and the corresponding third, fourth and fifth floors.

There is an alley next to the hotel, and there is an iron fence gate that opens across the alley, leading to an empty yard surrounded by buildings.

This is the hotel's own parking lot.

The convoy of the "Sangzi" business group drove here skillfully.

A middle-aged man wearing a thread-woven melon cap and a thick army green cotton coat came out of the sentry box, opened the door, and said with a smile:

"Are you here again?"

He rubbed his hands, shivering a little from the cold wind.

"Isn't this your daughter?" The "rootless person" in front joked and let the car drive into the parking lot.

Seeing that Bai Chen took the initiative to step on the brakes and stopped the jeep on the street, Feilin asked with some regret:

"Are you going to find a place to live by yourself?"

"Yeah, I won't bother you, lest you have to be involved in anything later." Jiang Baimian said frankly.

"What's there to be afraid of? Xiao Shang and I are brothers!" Fei Lin raised his hand and patted Shang Jianyao on the shoulder.

"It's brothers, so we can't get involved." Shang Jianyao replied seriously.

Immediately, he and Flynn looked at each other, and neither of them wanted to show weakness.

Finally, Flynn sighed and said:

"Then you have to be careful in everything. If you have any difficulties, just come to me. We should stay here for a few days. Hey, the situation is becoming clear now, and those noble lords and manor owners should be able to see it too. , It is not so easy to buy food."

After exhorting, he got out of the car, held Shang Jianyao's hands tightly, and said reluctantly:

“Hope to see you again!”

"See you again for sure!" Shang Jianyao shook the hands that both of them held tightly.

After bidding farewell to Feilin and his party, Bai Chen asked the jeep to continue driving.

"Where are you going now?" Long Yuehong held back for a long time, and finally had a chance to ask.

Jiang Baimian pointed to Bai Chen with his chin:

"Let Xiaobai play freely and arrange whatever he wants."

"..." Bai Chen frowned, "Leader, why did you give me a nickname?"

"In the group, the names are always called not close." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "You can also call me Sister Jiang, Sister Mian, or Dabai."

"You are so childish." Passer-by Shang saw Yao and said something.

Jiang Baimian raised his left hand to get it out of the back of the passenger seat.

The small arc above flashed away.

Bai Chen did not speak, and let the vehicle drove to the end of East Street, along the road at the edge of the city wall, back to the south.
