Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 300 The Broker 1
It is simply absurd to try to control such a village where all the people are soldiers and every adult man has a rifle with three policemen.This shows that the current government of this country has very weak control over the country.They are all supported by foreign troops.

After sighing, several people walked towards the police station.

The tour guide said before that the police station has cars and provides rental services.At first I thought it might be some kind of custom, but now it doesn't seem so complicated.Because just two or three policemen really can't do anything.Not to mention conveying the will of the government and making tribes, large and small, obey authority.That being the case, why not earn some extra money!

Yiji is clearly aware of this situation.Because it didn't take him too long to chat with the policeman on duty in the police station.After a few words, Yiji took out a handful of unknown currency from his pocket and handed it to the police.The policeman looked around, stuffed a wad of small money into his pocket, and then coughed, signaling Zhang Cheng to follow him.

But one base, two bases and three bases stood here without moving.

"Aren't you leaving?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"We have another way." Yiji said. "We have notified our location before, and the person who picks us up will meet us here."

That was the case, after all, they were invited this time.Unlike tourists like Zhang Cheng, they are supported by local people.

"Well, please leave your contact information if you can." Zhang Cheng took out his mobile phone.It's just a subconscious action.Normally, there is no signal in this kind of backward ghost place.The area around the police station, however, is an obvious exception.The four exchanged contact information with each other.They left chat software numbers, email addresses and phone numbers with each other, as well as Facebook accounts and the like.

After a while, Zhang Cheng got into the police car.This is not a police car, but a very ordinary pickup truck.In this kind of country where road traffic is actually very poor, only vehicles with strong off-road capabilities have practical value.

Zhang Cheng noticed that when Hu Chen got into the car, the whole car sank heavily.So much so that the policeman muttered softly.He didn't need to ask to know that he was disgusted with what heavy things Huchen was carrying on his body.

It took three or four hours to drive this way.Even Zhang Chengcheng began to wonder how much money Yiji gave the policeman to make him willing to drive such a long way?But then he remembered that it was impossible for the other party to perform official duties anyway, so it seemed not impossible to spend more time as a taxi driver.

The speed of a car is not comparable to that of walking.As we all know, a hard day's journey is not as far as half an hour's driving by car.Judging from the map, Zhang Cheng has already left the previous troubled place and arrived in a slightly larger city.Of course, within the territory of the Republic, this is actually the level of a township.But it is much better than the previous small town.If that small town has only one street, then this city has three streets.

This is where the police sent him.The two got out of the car, which was an amicable breakup.Obviously, the police didn't come here just to send Zhang Cheng over.He turned the vehicle in one direction and walked in another direction.

Now Zhang Cheng is really alone in a completely strange place.A strange place with different races, cultures, habits and even languages.To the normal traveler, this environment is always unsettling.But maybe it was confidence in his heart, maybe some kind of psychological change that he didn't understand yet, Zhang Cheng found himself very calm.

In the original itinerary, he should have followed the tour guide all the way to the previous small town by car.There, there will be vehicles heading for their destinations every few days.What Zhang Cheng had to do was to wait for the vehicle to arrive, then get in the vehicle, and spend more than ten hours to reach the destination.But because of the turmoil in the middle, his itinerary has changed a lot at this moment.From now on, he has to find a car here to go to his destination.

The scenery of the city itself is really nothing, just a poor and backward place.The road barely allows two cars to run side by side, and there are no other food stores besides the bakery (of course, this should be because Zhang Cheng didn't look carefully).Zhang Cheng felt that this place didn't welcome outsiders after walking around here for a while.When the locals saw someone dressed like Zhang Cheng, they immediately became wary.

Poverty and backwardness plus no cultural landscape plus no social environment of a tourist city, there is really nothing to see.After wandering around here for a while, Zhang Cheng was convinced that what he had to do was to find a place to stay for one night, and then find a car to leave tomorrow.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng found a gun shop in a corner of the city.It's a pity that people here obviously don't know how to do business at all.Back when Zhang Cheng was in the United States, a roadside gun dealer approached Zhang Cheng to sell firearms.It fully demonstrates that under the market economy system, even the sale of firearms requires sales staff to promote vigorously in order to obtain satisfactory sales.But here, the clerk faced Zhang Cheng with a rude attitude.In fact, he went in and looked around before being kicked out by the clerk's bad attitude.Because Zhang Cheng saw that these were all second-hand broken guns for sale (after Thomas’s training, Zhang Cheng already had a certain appreciation for firearms), and the price of the goods was high.However, it may be because the shopkeeper deliberately raised the price and was exposed. He actually shouted angrily, announcing that he did not want to sell weapons to heretics.Zhang Cheng had to leave.It's a shame that no one buys anything from this shabby store!
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Cheng didn't have much to do anymore, and began to plan to find a place for himself to spend the night.In this regard, Zhang Cheng is not in a hurry.Anyway, if it really doesn't work, you can go to the Void Castle.However, there will be such a portal in and out of the void castle, which is inconvenient to be seen.When he started to look for the hotel, Hu Chen casually made a gesture to signal Zhang Cheng to be followed.

Stalker skills suck.Because Zhang Cheng, an ordinary person without any training, noticed the stalker with just a little attention.

It was a man in local dress and a turban on his head.It's not clear when he started following him, but it feels like he's been following him for a while.Speaking of which, this person's clothes are not shabby (according to local standards), and his demeanor and demeanor do not give the impression of a "thief" at all.In fact, he is very amateur in tracking. He followed behind Zhang Cheng hesitantly, as if he wanted to come and talk to him, but he didn't dare for a while.

Zhang Cheng stopped, turned his head to look behind him, and used practical actions to show that he had found the stalker.

Sure enough, the stalker came over hesitantly.

This is a local man who is much older than Zhang Cheng, with a delicate outline and a little frailty, and his movements can almost be called feminine.He nodded and bowed, with a flattering dry smile on his face.Zhang Cheng has seen this kind of smile enough times. Strange salesmen usually wear this kind of smile when they approach you. It is the same at home and abroad. For example, the gun dealer he met on the streets of the United States last time was like this.

"Hello, sir," said the stalker, speaking in not-so-fluent Mandarin. "Kasim is at your service."

Zhang Cheng has to admit that the status of the motherland in the world is indeed getting higher and higher, and people who can speak Chinese can be found anywhere.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Cheng." Zhang Cheng replied.He pointed to the people around him, "This is Huchen."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang Cheng, Mr. Huchen, it's an honor to meet you for the first time." The person who called himself Kasim nodded and bowed. "I can see that you're a tourist here, aren't you? Do you need a... guide?"

"No, I don't need a tour guide." Zhang Cheng replied.With Tricks of the Trade, he doesn't actually need a translator.He didn't come to visit the mountains and rivers to visit the cultural landscape, so he didn't need a tour guide.And even though this man was smiling and nodding, Zhang Cheng was inexplicably unhappy when he saw him at first sight.

"Dear friend, I have been observing you for some time," said Kasim. "I can see that what you need now is an inn, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Cheng had to admit that what the other party said was correct.Of course it is not difficult to see this.

"I have a good recommendation here, if you can," Kasim said. "Please come with me. There is a very good hotel at the corner here. Small, but clean and tidy, with complete facilities. The most important thing is that the price is cheap, and it can be regarded as good quality and cheap."

Zhang Cheng began to wonder if this guy would direct a classic scene of that kind: he would be led into an alley, and then a dozen big men would jump out from all directions, each armed with knives and guns, and surround the prey.Kasim, who was still grinning just now, changed his expression in an instant. With a smirk, he shouted out the famous saying that countless robbers have said, "You want money or you want your life!"

If it was an ordinary person, Zhang Cheng would definitely be careful, at least he would not follow the other party rashly.But as a planeswalker, especially when he was surrounded by Rakshasa demon and Huo Dou guards, he was not afraid of this possibility.Instead of following a hidden danger, it is better to directly clarify the matter.

It turns out he was paranoid.Kasim did lead him into an alley, but instead of jumping out more than a dozen big men, there was only a clean and tidy small hotel.After a little understanding of the hotel rooms and prices, Zhang Cheng immediately realized that this hotel really deserves the word "high quality and low price".Of course, the republic is a third-rate or fourth-rate standard, but it is quite rare for this war-torn country.

Zhang Cheng noticed that after he reserved two rooms, Kasim actually reserved a room.This surprised him greatly.

"Mr. Kasim..." Zhang Cheng said.

"Just call me Kasim." Kasim quickly responded.

"Aren't you from this hotel?" Zhang Cheng thought just now that Kasim was a staff member of the hotel, who was only there to solicit customers.

"I'm not a local, Mr. Zhang Cheng." Kasim said. "I mean, I'm not a resident here. But I come here often, so I know some local conditions. By the way, Mr. Zhang Cheng, do you want to try the local specialty barbecue?"

It's really hard for Zhang Cheng to refuse.

He originally thought that he had come to a place without any tourist value, but it turns out that as long as he can dig deeper, he can always find something interesting in any place.Zhang Cheng was taken by Kasim, and had a barbecue in a shop that couldn't be seen from the outside and had no signboard.I won't say whether it's delicious or not, but at least it really deserves the words "local characteristics".Its barbecue style and condiments are indeed quite different from those in China.

After eating, pack the remaining barbecue and take it back to feed Xiao Huihui.After everything was settled, the three of them (including Hu Chen) turned out to be AA.Of course Hu Chen paid Zhang Chengfu.

All the way back to the hotel.Kasim's attentive questioning all the way made Zhang Cheng feel a little embarrassed: because he really didn't intend to hire Kasim as a tour guide and translator, even at this moment.He has a strange dislike for this person. As I said before, Zhang Chengcheng didn't like this person from the first time he saw Kasim, but during the hour of getting along and even having dinner together, this dislike didn't diminish. increase.Zhang Chengcheng considered the appropriate words.Some decent reason, plus a little tip, should settle the matter.

"...If you want to buy something, then I can definitely help..." Kasim was still talking about it endlessly, playing the magic conch kung fu passed down from generation to generation by brokers.

"I want to buy some weapons." Zhang Cheng said suddenly.The topic made him temporarily ignore his distaste for Kasim.

A bell rang from Kasim's waist. "Sorry, Mr. Zhang Cheng, I'll answer the phone first." He ran away and started talking in a deserted place a little far away. His voice was soft and fast, mixed with a lot of local slang and the like.He ran back after the phone call.His running movements are quick and smooth, but it doesn't make people feel like a cat, but rather slippery.Zhang Cheng began to understand that it was this oily or greasy feeling that was the reason why he disliked Kassim more and more.But as I said just now, in order to accomplish my goal, it doesn't matter if I endure it for a while.

"You just said weapons..." Kasim did not forget the topic just now. "I know a good place."

"I want to go there." Zhang Cheng took out the map and indicated his destination to Kasim. "I heard that you can buy good things here."

Kasim took a look. "I have to say, dear friends of the Republic, my Mr. Zhang Cheng, I'm afraid you don't know the situation during this time." He pointed. "The partisans launched an offensive here and destroyed the police station here. So the main road leading into the city was temporarily blocked. Now the place is empty and there is not much to sell!"

Zhang Cheng frowned unobtrusively.Without convenient transportation, the black market may indeed be difficult to maintain.

"If you just want to buy some casually, I can take you to a gun shop here. The store is not good, but the quality of the weapons is still very reliable. If you plan to make more purchases, I suggest you go here." He Point to a location on the map. "There are several villages here, and there are large quantities of weapons and equipment for sale here."

Zhang Cheng stared at this point. This is not a city, but a remote corner.And the most important thing is that it is not the kind of territory that is on the control line of the two warring parties.In fact, it is entirely on the side of the government forces.Not only that, but a military base of foreign troops was also marked on the map.This village is very close to this base.

After a little closer inspection, it can be determined that this is a remote village controlled by the current government of this country.
