Because he had to avoid a pedestrian crossing the road, Bai Chen stopped before finishing speaking.
Long Yuehong tried to make a guess:
"As a result, something terrible happened?
"There's some kind of danger lurking in that old world entertainment stuff on that computer?"
"No." Bai Chen said truthfully, "After he dug out those entertainment materials, he became obsessed with them and never explored the ruins of the city anymore. Relying on his past savings and contacts, he started a small business in the original city and barely managed to maintain himself. Moreover, even when he was busy in the store, he couldn’t do without that computer, he didn’t want to think about how to do business well or how to expand the scale, he just wanted to stay in front of the computer, click the mouse and press the keyboard.”
Finally, Bai Chen concluded:
"He was originally a very ambitious and capable person, and he might be able to get his own manor one day, but in the end, he was just abolished."
Long Yuehong oh oh twice:
"It's horrible, those old world entertainment materials."
Shang Jianyao said enthusiastically:
"I wanted to challenge myself to see if my will could overcome those old world entertainment materials."
During the discussion, Long Yuehong glanced at the team leader and found that her mouth was tightly shut, her cheeks were slightly puffed up, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to hold back a smile.
The team leader should have been exposed to entertainment materials in the old world... Just as Long Yuehong had such a thought, Jiang Baimian laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist:
"Haha, Xiaobai, you are so cute when you are serious!
"Ha ha……"
Bai Chen pursed her lips and did not respond.
Jiang Baimian immediately put away his smile and said seriously:
"But Shang Jianyao must not be allowed to touch those old world entertainment materials."
Just the radio programs, music playlists, and year-end report performances have caused Shang Jianyao to make so many moths. If he is exposed to rich and complete entertainment materials in the old world, will it be worth it?
"You don't believe me?" Shang Jianyao protested.
"No, I don't believe those old world entertainment materials, I'm afraid they will be polluted by you." Jiang Baimian opened his eyes, talking nonsense.
She felt that this should be the most "reason" to convince Shang Jianyao.
Sure enough, Shang Jian Yao replied:
"You have to be lucky, now it's me who is proud and arrogant."
"..." Jiang Baimian turned his eyes upwards and exhaled slowly.
The jeep drove for a while, and Long Yuehong saw someone set up a half-height table by the roadside, holding a black-covered book, and was condescendingly preaching something to the surrounding crowd, and someone was holding another thick book, constantly Chatting with passersby coming and going...
"Sure enough, there are many religions here." Long Yuehong said with emotion based on the information he had obtained before.
Because the intelligent robots in "Mechanical Paradise" don't believe in religion, and they don't care whether others believe in religion or not, many originally hidden sects have surfaced here, setting up churches, temples or pavilions, and preaching in public.
As for the "Melting Pot Sect", an organization that can openly operate in the "Linhai Alliance", it has no scruples. It not only built a church, sent "devotees", but also directly turned itself into many business companies in the "Linhai Alliance" , The Tarnan service point of the team.
Of course, another prerequisite for preaching is that there are people who need to be preached, and Tarnan has no shortage of people.
——Before receiving the information given by Han Wang, the "Old Tuning Team" thought that Tarnan was mostly robots, and humans were all caravans, hunters, and trade representatives, and they belonged to passers-by. There will be more, because knowing Tarnan, there are only a few forces allowed to trade with "Mechanical Paradise". Even if each family sends several caravans and relic hunters responsible for protecting them, the total population here will not reach a medium-sized Settlement standards.
The reality overturned this cognition. Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and the others knew before they left Hongshiji that there were a large number of local residents in Tarnan.
There are three sources of them:
One is certain members of the traveling caravan and their descendants.
Tarnan is under the control of "Mechanical Paradise" and private fighting is prohibited. The law and order is quite good, and it also has a strong armed force. You don't have to worry about being attacked by bandits or other forces. For many people, it is simply a paradise.
In the chaotic era and the early days of the new calendar, this was even more irresistible. At that time, many caravans and trade groups in many city-states had personnel who stayed and settled down through formal channels or directly separated from their original forces. So, anyway, there are too many unowned houses in such a well-maintained city ruins.
——At that time, the "Linhai Alliance" had not yet been established, and "Mechanical Paradise" was trading with multiple city-states in that area.Later, these city-states outside the polluted zone were able to form states, and then form alliances in the form of states, in fact, thanks to the help of "Mechanical Paradise", including but not limited to sending robot volunteer teams and providing water purification technology , against the "higher heartless" and so on.
The second is the wilderness wanderers in the surrounding area.
Such a peaceful and peaceful city, where necessary supplies can be exchanged, makes every group that wanders here do not want to leave.
The third is the alien relic hunters.
Around Tarnan, including the Chilar Mountains, there are many city ruins, attracting many relic hunters.They inevitably found such a safe enough city, and after living in Tarnan for a period of time, a large number of them chose not to venture elsewhere and stayed in Tarnan to cultivate farmland and explore the various ruins in this area for a living, and established a local hunter's guild.
Of course, the prerequisite for the establishment of the local hunter guild is to sign a memorandum with "Mechanical Paradise" to ensure that the various behaviors of the hunters are restrained, so that they will not actively disclose the existence of Tarnan to the outside world.
——The jewelry, electrical appliances and sundries on the roadside stalls were all found from the ruins of the surrounding cities.
Earlier, Means of Shifang Trading Co. mentioned that Tarnan’s robots do not eat food or farm, so there are very few fresh ingredients here. Everyone can only rely on canned food, biscuits and energy bars for a living, referring to "outsiders".
The local residents have cultivated farmland on this land, but because it is located in a mountainous area, the soil is poor, and many areas are still polluted and cannot be cultivated, so the food and vegetables produced are only enough for their own use.
And the animals they feed are occasionally sold.
In other words, it's not that you can't buy flour, rice, vegetables and other supplies in Tarnan, but they are more expensive and not cost-effective. Many caravans and relic hunters would rather go to the surrounding areas to get them.
While talking, Jeep finally walked out of this busy street and entered a quieter area.
The street lights here are still bright, and Tarnan seems to have no shortage of electricity, but only a few houses have yellowish or white light.
There is no one living behind a large number of windows.
"I thought Tarnan was already lively and prosperous, but I didn't even live in every room in the ruins of this city." Long Yuehong compared Tarnan with Wild Grass City.
"After all, this is a semi-secret place." Jiang Baimian said casually.
Long Yuehong glanced left and right again, and suddenly said with emotion:
"Compared to the ruins of Swamp No. 1, this is a small city, and such cities must be everywhere on the dusty soil.
"Before the old world was destroyed, most people lived here, but it's still just a small city..."
Tarnan, which is not even a fifth of a small city, can be called lively in today's gray soil. How prosperous was the old world back then?
Shang Jianyao immediately echoed:
"Yes."
He immediately said:
"So, do you want to follow me?"
"What are you reading?" Long Yuehong was a little at a loss.
Shang Jian Yao replied seriously:
"In order to save all mankind, I volunteer..."
It was not Jiang Baimian who interrupted his words, but Bai Chen.
She stopped the car, in front of a hotel.
This hotel is called "Youmeng", and it is about 300 meters away from the busiest street in a straight line. It seems to be a hotel in the old world, but it has been repaired and remodeled.
This is the place strongly recommended by several smugglers in Hongshiji, saying that it is the most comfortable place to live.
After parking the jeep in front of the hotel, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others walked to the front desk through the automatically revolving gate.
During this process, Shang Jianyao deliberately followed the rotation of the gate, and was about to turn back, but was pulled back by Jiang Baimian.
And Long Yuehong was equally curious about this kind of door that would rotate automatically when it sensed that she was waiting for someone to approach.
These are some of the applications in his area of expertise.
Sitting at the front desk of the hotel was a woman in her thirties. She was a gray earth person, wearing a colorful and unique thick woolen dress. She had pretty good facial features and a rather charming temperament.
While winding her hanging hair, she smiled and said to the guest:
"Your choice is very wise. If you go to those places in the city where no one lives, and find a room to sleep in, you may encounter..."
Having said that, she paused, and said in a sullen tone:
"ghost."
Shang Jian Yao was immediately excited:
"Where? Where?"
"..." The woman suspected of being the proprietress of the hotel was dumbfounded.
Chapter 136 Solo Action
Jiang Baimian laughed secretly, and helped to "explain":
"He's a ghost lover and has been proving that ghosts do exist."
The woman suspected of being the proprietress of the hotel looked back and forth between the four of them several times, and said with a sigh:
"I didn't expect such a person to exist."
"The world is big, full of wonders." Jiang Baimian replied quite sincerely.
Even she, who claims to be a well-informed person, often feels that she is a frog in the bottom of a well, especially Shang Jianyao, who often plays tricks that she could not imagine beforehand.
Before the woman in the gorgeous dress could speak, Jiang Baimian asked first:
"Are you Ms. Aino?"
Several smugglers in Hongshiji mentioned that the proprietress of the "Youmeng" hotel is called Ainuo.
This is not her real name, but the name she chose after she came to Tarnan. It can be treated as a gray earth name, and it can also be seamlessly connected with the name of Red River, which is similar to "Odick".
As for who this lady was and what she did before she came to Tarnan, no one knew, it was like a mystery.
"Yes." The charming woman let go of the hair wrapped around her fingers.
She then smiled:
"It seems that you were introduced by an acquaintance."
"It's from Hongshiji." Jiang Baimian didn't hide it.
Aino was a little surprised:
"Ha, you can still make friends with those people who often hide out of sight, and get information on Tarnan?"
"We happened to encounter murlocs and mountain monsters invading, and we fought side by side with them for a while." Jiang Baimian spoke the complete truth.
But that doesn't cover their experience at Redstone at all.
Ainuo just remarked casually just now, without any in-depth thought, and asked instead:
"How many rooms do you want?"
"Do you have any recommendations?" Jiang Baimian asked without answering.
Ainuo looked Jiang Baimian up and down, and said with a smile:
"You really look smart.
"Our 'Youmeng' hotel is different from other hotels, because I specially remodeled the layout of the rooms for the relic hunter team and the caravans of various forces.
"A team like yours certainly doesn't want to be divided into several rooms, which will prevent you from communicating and reuniting in time when you encounter an accident, but if you are all crammed into a room with four beds, you will live comfortably. It's not very comfortable, and it doesn't seem to be fundamentally different from the wild."
At most ten years older than me, he actually joked in the tone of an elder... Jiang Baimian slandered, expressing his attitude:
"We don't mind this aspect, two adjacent rooms are fine."
Ainuo turned his eyes and said:
"But there are good choices, who would pick bad ones?
"I recommend two types of rooms: one is two adjacent twin rooms with a door in the middle directly connected, which is convenient for you to come and go; the other is a suite, which is similar to the three-bedroom and one-living room in the old world, and the four of you can just live there , the environment is good and secret.”
"What's the price?" Jiang Baimian asked.
To be honest, she was a little tempted, just like what Ainuo said, when there are good choices, who would pick bad ones?
Moreover, she glanced and found that Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong nodded slightly, indicating that they had chosen well.
Our "Old Tune Group" is not short of supplies now!
——They have just received a large number of portable computers from the Ten Fang Trading Company Means.
As for Bai Chen, he lived in environments that Long Yuehong and the others could not imagine, so he didn't care too much about it.
Of course, with a good environment, she will also feel happy and satisfied.
There were dimples on Aino's cheeks:
