long night fire

Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and looked out the window.

The air was foggy, the glass was heavily stained, and the window-sills outside were dusty, not without flecks of soot.

Pedestrians are all dressed in simple, low-key colors, which is exactly the style of the "White Knights".

At this time, a group of people came from the train station.

They are basically Honghe people. Most of them have disheveled faces and ragged clothes. They are shivering a little in the spring near the ice field. A few of them even have sarcoma and other distortions, which are equivalent to half a subhuman.

The leader was wrapped in a fur coat, holding a megaphone, and said loudly:

"Look at the surrounding situation, I didn't lie to you, did I?

"Here, you will have the opportunity to work, and work can be exchanged for bread, for meat, for clothes like mine, and for warm shelter!

"This place is not very suitable for planting, and the conditions for grazing are not good, but countless flour, meat, and salt were pulled here by train and replaced with coal, steel, and various metals.

"Here, as long as you work hard, you can buy everything and get everything!

"This is heaven, this is the 'new world' in the real sense!"

Those Honghe people were excited when they heard it, and the people passing by were also a little infected, and their expressions were all excited.

This settlement belonging to mining and industry has always seemed to be in full swing.

With a little bit of soot falling, the group was led by the leader to the factory area behind the castle.

"Although the industrial pollution here is a bit serious, people are full of hope..." Long Yuehong also came to the window and sighed sincerely, "The 'White Knights' seem to treat the workers pretty well, at least they haven't cut back much."

Jiang Baimian let out a "hmm":

"Compassion and justice are the contents of their creed. Even if the present is not as good as before, the superficial efforts will still be maintained."

"The 'White Knights' will distribute food to the poor every once in a while." Bai Chen said the rumors he had heard in the "Original City".

At that time, she was quite envious.

"Not bad." Shang Jian Yao nodded in satisfaction, just like the head of the "White Knights" who came to inspect.

After chatting for a while, after driving for a few days, they each found a place to sit down and relax.

In the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, time passed quickly.

Seeing that evening was approaching, Long Yuehong asked casually:

"Team leader, where shall we investigate next?"

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"Let's start with the old tune team.

"Although more than ten years have passed, there are very few gray earth people here. If they didn't do much camouflage at that time, many people should have left a deep impression on them.

"Well, the premise is that they really came."

After a pause, Jiang Baimian added:

"Ask the Hunter Guild. For outsiders like them who want to inquire about information, the first choice is often the local Hunter Guild."

"Okay!" Shang Jian Yao Zhong replied angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bell rang outside.

when!when!when!

Chapter 58 Customs

Seeing Yao, Shang immediately stood up and ran to the window, looking for where the bell was coming from.

He looked excited, with undisguised curiosity.

This made Jiang Baimian feel like this guy was only about ten years old.

She followed to the window, judging from the reactions of passers-by on the road, the ringing of the bell should be something that the residents of this place are accustomed to, and it is not worth making a fuss about, so be on high alert.

However, she didn't turn her head away, and ordered Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to turn on the lights to dispel the darkness brought by the evening to the room.

She still stood there, following the sound of the bell and looking towards its source just like Shang Jianyao.

This is the self-cultivation of a folklorist.

Soon, Jiang Baimian confirmed that the bell came from Gust Castle. As the tallest building here, there seemed to be a big bell installed on its top floor.

Not long after the bell rang, one bicycle after another rushed out of the factory area and entered the streets and alleys of this settlement.

They are like white pigeons out of the cage, but the color is not so uniform.

On these bicycles with different styles, the workers are either beaming with joy, full of longing to go home, or exchanging gossip and gossip with the surrounding riders happily.

Compared with their counterparts in the "Original City", their skin is also darker, with more traces of sun, rain, and smoky fire, and it is also difficult to hide the tiredness. ", no feeling of numbness.

After the bicycles were almost out, the tide-like crowd left the factory area on foot.

Their clothes are either gray or blue, and the texture is quite rough, full of stains and sweat marks. Their expressions are similar to those on bicycles, and few of them look depressed.

"So it's the bell for getting off work..." Shang Jianyao suddenly realized.

Speaking of this, he, Long Yuehong, and Jiang Baimian who were born in "Pangaea" are no strangers at all.

At the same time, some elderly residents and the obviously disabled flocked to the gate of the ancient castle, where a soldier in thick linen-colored clothes brought out black bread and other food and prepared to distribute it.

"There are fewer elderly people than I imagined." Jiang Baimian murmured to himself thoughtfully.

She originally felt that, with the style of the "White Knights" often helping the poor and the characteristics of being good at biological and medical research, there are at most fewer elderly people over [-] in Gerstberg than "Pangaea".

But now, it looks like the original city.

"The factory should be very hard." Long Yuehong has her own explanation for this.

The charged Gnava interjects in good time:

"Before the old world was destroyed, the area occupied by the 'White Knights' was not suitable for planting and grazing."

"When I was in the 'First City', I also heard that the living conditions of the 'White Knights' are relatively poor." Bai Chen nodded, and added a few words, "It is all due to the rich mineral resources and advanced biotechnology that can be exchanged for satisfaction. Basic necessities."

At this time, Shang Jianyao retracted his gaze, touched his stomach and said:

"The 'White Knights' are distributing food, and it's time for us to think about what to have for dinner."

He used body movements to show that he was hungry.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"Old Ge continues to charge, let's go downstairs and ask the front desk to see what food we can get in the hotel, and try not to go out."

This hotel named "Fire and Iron" did not install wired telephones in the rooms, or most places in Gerstburg did not have this condition.

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao went out first.

He pedaled from the third floor to the ground floor, and asked the man at the front desk:

"Can I order food?"

"Order?" The person didn't seem to understand why he ordered at a hotel, "Shouldn't this be a restaurant?"

"You guys!" Shang Jian Yao was heartbroken, "How can such a service develop and grow? In the old world, in other places..."

He talked a lot, blah blah, and finally let the front desk understand what ordering service is.

The blond man shook his head and said:

"None of our hotels here have such a service."

He didn't mean to improve on this at all, but instead persuaded Shang Jianyao:

"Staying in the room all the time is boring and boring, it's better to go to restaurants and cafes.

"If it weren't for the relatively cold weather, I wouldn't even want to do this job. Carrying a shotgun, hunting on the ice field, and looking for ruins along the way is what descendants of knights should do."

Although I can't say all of them, this should represent a certain ethos of the "White Knights"... Jiang Baimian nodded quietly, and asked before Shang met Yao:

"Are there any restaurants near here, can I order by phone?"

"No phone calls." The receptionist shook his head again.

In Gerstburg, there are only a handful of places where telephones are installed.

The area where people live here is neither small nor big, and two to three 10 minutes are enough for a healthy person to walk to any destination.

"Then we can only go out to eat." Jiang Baimian frowned, "Or get some canned food in the car and deal with it casually?"

Thinking of eating canned food again, Long Yuehong instinctively showed a embarrassed expression.

Shang Jian Yao said righteously and sternly:

"There is a problem with the latter plan."

"What's the question?" Jiang Baimian asked amusedly.

Shang Jianyao glanced at the front desk and walked a few steps towards the hotel door.

When Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen followed, he said in a low voice:

"There is not much food left, and if you consume a few more meals, it will definitely bottom out.

"At that time, we will have to go out to purchase supplies. With Xiaohong's fate, it is also easy to cause accidents and cause a chain reaction. If this forces us to leave Gerstburg, then not only will our batteries not be fully charged, but also No food, worse!

"So, we must ensure that the food reserves are above the safety line."

"Obviously it's your destiny..." Long Yuehong retorted in a muttering way.

Apart from this point, he actually felt that what Shang Jianyao said made a lot of sense.

Jiang Baimian, who was caught by Shang Jianyao attacking his shield with his spear, was speechless for a moment.

Although the remaining food of the "Old Tune Group" is not as small as Shang Jianyao said, after so many days of consumption, it is indeed not too much.

After deliberating for a while, Jiang Baimian sighed and said:

"Hey, you go upstairs and tell Lao Ge to let him charge at ease. Let's find something to eat nearby."

"Okay!" Shang Jian Yao was overjoyed.

Based on caution and fear of causing accidents, the "Old Tune Group" found a nearby restaurant on the street of the "Fire and Iron" Hotel.

It was called "Old Henry," and it was dimly lit with only two lights on.

Shang Jian Yao and the others were about to look for seats when they suddenly saw the waiter serving four dishes to a table of guests.

One of the guests with light blond hair and hooked nose pointed to the strangely shaped meat in front of him and said:

"Is this steak?"

"Sir, it is indeed a steak, but you should be very clear that most of the steaks you can eat in Gerstburg are of the abnormal variety, and the price also speaks for itself." The waiter replied quite calmly.

"Aberrant?" The hook-nosed guest was taken aback.

Is this thing edible?

The waiter suddenly showed a vigilant look:

"Aren't you from our 'White Knights'?"

The hooked-nosed guest said in a daze for a few seconds:

"We are from a ranch in the south. We have just joined your 'White Knights' recently. I heard that Gerstburg has a lot of job opportunities and can earn a lot of supplies, so we came here."

The "White Knights", like other big forces, can only rule the towns on the main traffic lines. There are still large and small human or sub-human settlements in the mountains, wilderness, and Gobi in this area.

The waiter's expression softened:

"No wonder you don't know about mutants.

"A long time ago, there was a kind of cattle that was deformed and became suitable for the environment here, and could reproduce better. Our 'White Knights' took this as a model and used genetic technology to breed this kind of cattle. It has a lot of meat, Cheap, is the first choice of most people.”

"Why is it cheap?" asked the hook-nosed guest.

The waiter smiled and said:

"Eating too much can easily lead to distortions and various malignant diseases.

"Don't worry, you won't have any problems if you only take it a few times. When you find a job, save enough money, and buy genetically modified medicines, you won't be afraid. The cheapest X-3 medicine will allow you to fight This ability to deform..."

This not only made the guests look at each other in blank dismay, but even Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen all looked at each other, and there was a sense of magic.

In terms of biotechnology, "White Knights" and "Pangaea" seem to be heading in different directions because of their different environments.
