Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland
Chapter 119 Hub Station
One month later.
black market.
The gate collapsed, the stone arch beam was broken in two, and debris of abandoned buildings and furniture were everywhere.
Compared to before, this place looks even more dilapidated.
Under the impact of the Fog Man, ordinary residents either returned to their respective streets, or gave up their original resident status and moved with the Brotherhood, but in short they would not continue to trade here.
As for those big shops, they were scattered in all directions. Unless they had a close relationship with Tie Bangtang himself, they generally did not move with them.
The existence of the black market was due to the convergence of interests. Now that the situation has changed, it is natural for people to take advantage of it.
However.
At the former site of the black market, a watchtower rose from the ground.
Objectively speaking, it now only has a skeleton and foundation, and it still needs stones, bricks and other building materials to fill the flesh and blood, but after all, it has begun to take shape.
This is the Brotherhood's Tower of Thieves.
After discussing with Lu Beiyou, Lao Tang felt that unlike the underground activities in the past, their business at the hub was no longer limited to traditional craftsmanship and could be done more openly.
The role of the Thief Tower is not only to provide shelter for the members, but also to serve as a symbol of their presence here.
The wide first floor hall is used to entertain visitors, the second floor is the accommodation area, the third floor is where internal members communicate and trade with each other, the fourth floor is the practice area with training dolls and locksmith boxes as before, and the fifth floor is yes……
This location was recommended by Lu Beiyou.
When Old Tang asked him, he just smiled and said: "Familiar."
I've probably lived in the black market for a while, so it's inevitable that I'll have some familiarity with him. Old Tang thought so.
So does he.
But when they actually sent people to conduct in-depth exploration of the site, they discovered that the stratigraphic foundation here was really suitable, as if it was tailor-made for the Thieves Tower.
Obviously, when the black market was first formed, no one considered building large buildings here, so it never attracted attention.
This is a beautiful coincidence, everyone thinks so.
In the future, they plan to build it higher and stronger.
The Brotherhood's activities at the hub have officially come to light.
"Hub", as the name suggests, is located in the center with connections in all directions. When the order of the hub station gradually stabilizes, the entire city will once again become a favorite place for merchants from all walks of life.
In this case, with a landmark building that serves them, the prosperity of this place will be greater than before.
But the fraternity is not the only one doing this.
The Lang Ninja Group is also working overtime.
Compared to the Brotherhood, the Lang Ninja Group is expanding faster.
The long-term elite route has allowed them to accumulate a large number of backbones. Although their status is relatively low within the Lang Ninja Group, outside, almost everyone is enough to become the backbone that can organize dozens of people. .
In addition, there are many refugees at the hub, many of whom are oppressed or wanted by the Holy Kingdom. These people have become the reserve force of the Lang Ninja Group.
Just like Huo Buyang's mother Li Liu, she was originally a peasant girl from a surrounding village, but she probably had some "forbidden" knowledge and fled to the hub when she was facing religious trial. Needless to say, the hardships involved.
However, although the manpower is quite short, Leiber is still very cautious and strict in the selection of official members.
There are countless opportunists and spies from various forces among them. If they are recruited all in one go in order to pursue the number of people, it will be harmful rather than beneficial. In serious cases, it may even subvert their organization from within.
After all, there are only a few people with firm ideals at any time.
Their career has just started and is still full of dangers.
"So you really don't want to consider joining the Lang Ninja Group?" Wei Hong said while rubbing her right shoulder.
The bandage and splint were removed from her right arm just a few days ago. There are still slight red marks from the collarbone to the shoulder and elbow. This is a sprain and dislocation caused by the recoil.
It is indeed beyond her ability to operate a powerful crossbow like the Eagle Crossbow.
In order to shoot that arrow, Wei Hong hung on a dead tree all night.
Lu Meng shook his head.
She thought she had succeeded in pretending that she had spoken inadvertently, but after so many inadvertent remarks in the past month, it was too obvious.
"Still not."
His answer was still the same.
They are in the east area, and the structure of the mine has been initially set up.
The original slaves have regained their freedom. After spending the early days of receiving relief, they are now gradually organized and put into new production.
There were even many surviving scavengers from other places who heard the news and moved here.
For them, this stable job is an unimaginable luxury.
The population of the East District is gradually rising, but its capacity is far from reaching the upper limit.
However, there are fewer residents coming from the streets. Although the mine here is a copper mine and the wages offered are much higher than what they originally paid, it is not attractive enough for them who can already live a stable life. , after all, I still have concerns.
Only a few more ambitious residents chose to move here, such as Aping from Qingyang Street.
As a miner, having a wife willing to join him so early at the hub actually shows that he is hard-working and hard-working, and is a man who can make people feel at ease.
Before making a decision, he actually wanted to discuss with the old doctor and his family whether they should go to the East District together.
Xiao Huo is a young miner and will have a better future; and a person like the old doctor will not be buried wherever he goes, and the managers of the East District will definitely welcome him.
It's just that I'm tired from the journey and needs a lot of care.
Aping is ready.
But the day after he learned about the new mining area, Aping went to visit the old doctor again, only to find that his family suddenly disappeared.
Not only the people, but also no traces of life were left behind.
It is said that it was cleaned up overnight by members of the Qingyang Gang.
But when A Ping asked them, these gangsters couldn't explain why, they just missed the old doctor's strong hands.
The number of comas decreased, and I always felt that something was missing in my life, and my sleep was no longer sweet.
The senior officials of the Qingyang Gang remained silent on this matter.
Aping even wondered if this was a dream for people like him. After waking up, the characters in the dream disappeared.
But everything did change.
Fortunately, a gang member named Fan Fei casually revealed some news.
Some time ago, drastic changes occurred in the hub. Many forces conflicted with each other, resulting in many deaths and injuries.
The old doctor went to save lives and heal the wounded.
The hub station is very large, and there are still many people waiting for treatment.
Aping sighed at the old doctor's broadmindedness and knew that this was their choice, so he moved his wife to the East District with peace of mind and started a new life.
Lu Meng stood on the high platform and saw this familiar miner walking below.
He has now returned to his original appearance. His white hair is smooth and hanging down obediently. He looks obviously younger than Aping.
There is no need to take advantage of others anymore.
Wei Hong sighed, actually he already knew what kind of answer the other party would give.
"Oh? Are you afraid?" the girl regained her mood and joked, "Afraid that joining the Lang Ninja Group will provoke a behemoth like the Holy Kingdom."
"I'm really afraid..."
Lu Meng laughed.
"What I'm afraid of is that if I join you, I'm afraid the Holy Kingdom will not be the only behemoth you have to face in the future!"
He walked down the high platform, and Lei Bai in the distance had been waiting for a long time.
