Catastrophe

After passing through the large farmland, the group finally saw the first human gathering area after entering the Central Plains at night.

Zhang Fang looked at the large tracts of houses and street lights in the distance, and his face was full of surprise: "Don't all the fortresses in the Central Plains have city walls?"

"This is not a fortress, but a market town in the Central Plains." Su Fei explained: "According to our direction of travel, this should be the No. 1 settlement in the refugee area managed by the No. 122 Fortress of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the only refugee under the 122 Fortress that has electricity. Settlement, because this is the transfer station for the Song clan and other chaebol trading teams, and that building over there is the fortress."

Zhang Fang looked over there. The fortress in the distance was the size of a matchbox. If Su Fei hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

After listening to Su Fei's explanation, Ning Zhe asked him, "That is to say, there is an army of the Song clan stationed here, right?"

Zhang Fang nodded: "Yes, but we don't need to worry too much, because the Song clan troops here only hand over the messengers and transport teams of other chaebols, and rarely deal with refugees. Entering the settlement, no one will notice us."

Ning Zhe thought for a moment: "Our destination is not the Song clan, but the Yang clan through here, and entering this market town is only for supply, there is no need for so many people to go in to take risks, so let's let it go. The others left the guard weapons, Zhang Fang, Ren Jiao and the four of us went in."

"Brother, take me in too!" Lin Bao was curious about everything when he first came to the Central Plains. Seeing that Ning Zhe didn't bring him, he immediately pleaded, "We finally came to the Central Plains once, so take me in to see you. See the world!"

"We came to the Central Plains this time to do business, not to watch flowers. It is because you are curious about the situation here that I can't take you, so as not to leak." Ning Zhe patted Lin Bao. shoulders: "Be obedient, just wait here."

Lin Bao nodded angrily, and hid in the crops outside the market town with Zhang Ying and others, while Ning Zhe and the others walked towards the market town.

The market town in the distance is particularly lively, and because it is a transportation hub, there is no curfew system.

As Su Fei said, after the group entered the town, no one paid attention to them at all, and both sides of the street were busy, with many homeless people setting up stalls to sell animal skins, dried meat and picked fruits from hunting. , sold to the transportation teams of various chaebols and past merchants.

The houses in this village are all made of wooden planks and look very neat. From time to time, there are flags of the Four Northern Wildernesses hanging on the streets, as well as vehicles with other chaebol and company flags, and there are also mercenary troops of the Song Dynasty. On patrol, it looks like the area inside the fort.

Because this small town needs to receive a large number of outsiders, there are also a variety of shops and hotels. Ning Zhe and the others found a place to sell food, and they did not rush to buy food, but bought a few sets of clothes to change, and then went out on the street. Go for a walk.

Zhang Fang patrolled the streets for a week, and after seeing two imposing buildings in the distance, he said in surprise: "Speaking of which, this should be the most prosperous refugee settlement I've ever seen, and it's the first time I've seen a refugee who can drive here. kind of shop."

"You think too much, these are not the industries of refugees, but the chaebols of the Song family. The transportation teams here are frequent, and the business environment is very good, so the Song family did not let go of this fat."

Su Fei shook his head gently: "In this town, the existence of refugees is to serve the transport team, and only those stalls on the roadside are the business of refugees. It is not the result of the management of the chaebols, but a natural factor. If there are no large tracts of virgin jungle around and they cannot hunt, they will not even sell dried meat and fruits."

Ning Zhe looked at the pedestrians on the street and the noise in the taverns and restaurants, and said, "I think we should change our strategy. There are many chaebol transport teams, and some of them lead to the hinterland of the Central Plains. We are completely Take their rides."

"It's difficult to do this, isn't it?" Ren Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Although we are in different positions, the fortress people's contempt for refugees has not changed. It's not enough, the transport team won't deal with us."

"At first, I thought it was unlikely, but until I saw this place, I suddenly felt that it was not impossible."

Ning Zhe pointed at a casino in front of him: "For gamblers, as long as they have enough interests, there is nothing they can't do."

...

There were a total of eight gaming tables in the casino of No. 1 settlement. At this time, it was crowded with people, shouting and shouting.

"big big big!"

At the dice table, a strong man looked at the dice cup in the dealer's hand, patted the table and shouted loudly.

"Buy and leave! Go!"

The dealer raised the dice cup: "One, three, four, eight o'clock!"

"Damn it!" The strong man made seven misses in a row, looked at the dealer and scolded: "I think you have a ghost in this place! You want to cheat my money!"

The dealer seemed to be used to gamblers like brawny men, and said with a blank face: "Sir, you need to tell evidence! You lose money, and some people win! We don't need to be you! I remind you, here is the Song Clan's business~www.readwn.com~ If you ask for trouble, I will immediately call the patrol to deal with it!"

A gambler in the back also urged impatiently: "Hey! You still want to bet or not. If you don't bet, get out of the way immediately. I'm waiting for the bet!"

"Damn!"

The strong man was ruthless, tore off his gold necklace, and asked the dealer, "Can this thing be bet?"

"Yes." The dealer put an electronic scale on the table: "According to our name!"

The strong man waved his hand: "Whatever! One is divided into three, one is betting! One is betting big! There is also a single betting seventeen points!"

The dealer quickly opened the card: "Three twos! Six o'clock is small, the leopard will kill!"

"Fuck you!" The strong man punched the table and turned to look at the young people behind him: "You guys, who has money, give me some!"

A young man shook his head angrily: "Captain, you have borrowed all our money!"

The strong man gritted his teeth, looked at the dealer and asked, "I am pulling goods in the car, can I bet with sorghum wine?"

"Yes, but we have to follow our rules. After the sommelier has completed the appraisal, it can only be calculated at 50% of the market price." The dealer took out a receipt and put it on the table: "This is the price list, sorghum wine. That's three dollars per pound!"

The strong man narrowed his eyes: "Are you kidding me? I'm back from Meng Clan, and I'm going to send the wine to Yang Clan. Meng Clan's sorghum wine is notoriously top-notch!"

The croupier still looked like a poker face: "You are the nectar of the Queen Mother, and it is only worth three yuan to us. It's up to you to change it or not!"

"Damn it! Wait!"

The strong man dropped a sentence, pushed the crowd away, and walked out, while Ning Zhe, who had been wandering in the casino, heard the conversation between the strong man and the dealer and followed.
