Chapter 640: Finally Entering! The Twisted Melting Pot of Human Nature!

The Origin Territory, when viewed from a high place, is extremely large in scale.

Take a glance at the many buildings on the hill.

Even people who are used to seeing modern metropolises are still a little amazed that humans can actually build such a miracle among such mountains.

Before the heavy snowfall comes, it serves as the "hot cake" in the electromagnetic wave communication platform.

Not only does it have strong consumption power and considerable material reserves, it also has an attribute that is extremely difficult to replace.

Safety!

Because the people who make up the territory are too complex, there are too many sub-territories.

Here, no one cares about the origin of the items he sells, and no one cares about how much blood and sin is stained behind his back.

Before the heavy snowfall, coming in from the other side of the mountain is not only a smooth journey, but also only takes two or three days to reach, and there is no danger in the process.

For those bandits who robbed foreign caravans, or simply looted other human gathering places.

The origin territory is obviously a gold-selling cave that is difficult to find in the New World.

At the same time, for those refugees whose territory has been invaded by other alien races or humans, the origin territory is also extremely safe and worthy of their favor.

Here, there are thousands of miles of mountains as a natural barrier.

Even if a foreign race is targeting it and wants to invade, it must first consider the complex terrain inside and the possible huge casualties.

under two factors.

Before the snowfall, there was an almost endless stream of people coming and going in the central public part of the Origin Territory every day.

At its peak, the passenger throughput can even reach a terrifying 2,000 people per day.

And even if the snow falls now, there are still many people coming here, at least close to a hundred or hundreds of people can enter every day.

Of course, the route they chose would definitely not be the one Sumo and others took.

More than ninety-nine percent of people come from the opposite side, and they only need to climb about seven ordinary mountains of earth and rocks to reach it.

It takes some effort, but it’s not that difficult!

The time shifts to eight o'clock in the evening.

The entrance to the origin territory.

A team of about thirty people came slowly from the darkness in the distance and stood in front of the information bulletin board at the door.

For the first time, everyone's eyes were focused almost unconsciously.

Not only because of the various weapons exposed on the team members' bodies.

What's more, the aura of the leading man wearing a fur-collared coat was incompatible with his surroundings!

This guy

Is he cosplaying a classic character in a certain movie or TV series?

The two refugees standing as guards in front of the territory's gate had nothing to do but brag.

"I bet that if this bandit leader challenges me in a duel, I will definitely defeat him in minutes. Look at his disguise, he is not professional at all!"

"Shh, please keep your voice down. In these chaotic years, who would challenge you in a duel? Look at the brother behind him. That's a real gun. I've seen it before!"

"It doesn't matter if you have a gun, there are many more gun-wielding thugs who have died in my hands than aliens!" After being reminded by his companion, the short refugee guard on the right curled his lips in disdain, without feeling panic at all.

In the origin territory, although they were not equipped with guns, they only had simple machetes to maintain order.

But everyone knows that this place is the facade of the entire origin territory.

Don't say it's these thirty or so people who want to cause trouble.

So what if there are hundreds of gun-toting gangsters?

The new lord only needs to use that mysterious special force to crush anyone who disobeys!

However, the tall guard on the left obviously didn't believe it. He just sneered and said:

"Then it's agreed. They'll come over later and I'll be in charge of receiving them later."

"That's not possible. How can you do this kind of work alone? I have to watch them all the time and don't make trouble in our territory."

Looking at this team, they finally finished reading the notice board at the entrance of the territory, and they seemed to be heading towards the gate.

The short guard who had been bragging before suddenly became energetic.

He first ignored his companion's disdainful eyes and rejected his suggestion, and then he involuntarily raised his chest, with gleams of light shooting out of his eyes.

"This group of people are very tight-looking. Maybe they are fat sheep?"

The short guard standing at the gate said he was disgusted by the team leader's exaggerated bandit costume, but he was not too surprised in his heart.

In the long time he has been in the Origin Territory, among the travelers he has received, this kind of attire can only be considered conservative at best, and it is difficult to even qualify as strange.

Think about those people who dress up as Konoha Village ninjas, wear pirate eye patches, and keep saying that they have awakened their Sharingan and must receive the best treatment.

Think about it again, wearing an iron shell all over your body, claiming to be the second generation of Iron Man, but now your armor is damaged and you are in urgent need of a start-up fund to repair it.

Bandit leader?

Nothing could be more normal!

A long while passed.

Amid the expectations of the short guard, the team finally gave up studying the information on the bulletin board, and instead determined the direction and walked towards the gate.

Bowing slightly, when the team approached, the two guards stepped forward and uttered the greeting words they had prepared.

"Welcome to all guests from far away, thank you for your hard work."

"This is the most powerful gathering place for humans in the thousands of miles of mountains, the center of the origin territory!"

When they said this, the two of them raised their heads again involuntarily, trying to decide the next arrangement through each other's reaction.

However, in an instant, when they met the eyes of the leader, their hearts trembled violently.

When they were far away, the oppression brought by this person was almost non-existent, and people basically could not feel the so-called bandit aura.

But when they were close, the eyes with scarlet spots were like a beast, and people felt cold in their hearts just by looking at each other.

"Damn it"

"Is this a real bandit?!"

The short guard muttered in his heart, but a slightly dull voice came to his ears.

"I'm here to find Marshal Wang. He owed me a debt before, and I came to collect it!"

"Marshal Wang?"

The short guard was stunned for a moment, and answered subconsciously.

"Didn't Marshal Wang run away a long time ago? His territory has been replaced by a new lord!"

"Oh? Ran away?"

Facing the murderous face above Cangmang's beard, the short guard felt his heart freeze for a moment. He wanted to say something perfunctory, but his Adam's apple moved and he said.

"Marshal Wang was the lord of the Jiuqu Peak, a mountain with the "Kai" brand in our Origin Territory. He has more than 4,000 subordinates, which is one of the top few among our previous 16 lords. If he is still here, it is not a problem to pay your debts. I can even take you there directly."

"But unfortunately, as far as I know, this Lord Marshal Wang betrayed our Origin Territory more than a month ago, fled with a mysterious treasure, and even abandoned his territory and wife!"

"Now, our new lord's wanted order for Marshal Wang is still hanging. You should have seen the S-level wanted order on the information bulletin board just now."

Pointing to the bulletin board not far away, the short guard dared to raise his hand and wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead until he finished speaking.

Face what kind of person, use what kind of attitude and method.

If it were normal, he would never say these words so easily.

In the past, there were many people who came to the Origin Territory to seek revenge, but most of them were incompetent and furious, and returned empty-handed.

But facing this man and this team in front of him.

The short guard was sincerely afraid that they would turn their anger for not finding Marshal Wang on him.

But fortunately.

Standing opposite, the bearded man did not have any big emotional fluctuations. He just nodded, without saying thank you, and led his people to the gate.

He did not seem to worry that the guard he asked for directions would lie to him.

Seeing this performance, the short guard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly chased after him with courage:

"Sir, I don't know what your name is yet."

"Although our Origin Territory is not large, I believe you also know that there are not only many people in it, but also very mixed, and the forces are also intertwined."

"With the strength of your team, although you don't worry about those flies coming to cause trouble, you will always waste time on some things you are concerned about."

"But you only need to hire me as a guide. In the next three days, I will try my best to help you understand the Origin Territory, whether it is the trading market, the distribution of forces, or even the way to sell stolen goods."

"I can help you!"

Patting his chest, the short guard trotted and chased the bearded man in the lead to recommend himself.

According to the previous market.

As long as the travelers passing by want to enter the Origin Territory, they must pay an entry fee, more or less, depending on the person.

Among them, most of them will be embezzled by the guards at the gate, leaving only a small part to be handed over to the territory behind.

Considering the fixed income, the position of guard is naturally a good job.

But the recurring disasters doomed such a good situation to not last long.

Since the heavy snow fell, the new lord strictly ordered all guards not to charge entry fees in order to promote the economic recovery in the territory.

The lives of these guards have plummeted.

So much so that now they have to "actively solicit customers".

"Sir, please consider it, my price is very cheap." Seeing that the bearded man was still walking forward on his own, and the people following him ignored his self-recommendation, the short guard was extremely anxious.

According to the usual quotation.

The price of hiring for three days is generally one day's food in the origin territory.

Quantified to specific materials, it is probably about 380g of raw rice, or 400g of flour.

But now, with the natural disaster, everyone is not well-off, and there are very few people willing to hire.

The short man could only grit his teeth and offer a price that was two-thirds of the usual price to disrupt the market rules that were already in name only.

"Only 300g of raw flour can hire you for three days?"

Finally, after hearing the offer, the bearded man became interested and stopped.

In unison, the more than 30 people following him also stopped immediately, looking like they were following the man's lead.

"Yes, only 300g of raw flour is needed, or other equivalent materials can be converted!"

Feeling the hope of a deal, the short guard nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of hope.

On the other side, the bearded man did not disappoint him, but just nodded lightly and uttered two words:

"Yang Jian!"

[A group of fat sheep came to the gathering place, 32 people, staying in the Sanyuan Hotel, with guns, a lot of them! ]

[According to reliable sources, they came to seek revenge on the missing Marshal Wang]

[The possibility of having information about Marshal Wang is not ruled out]

Outskirts of the Origin Territory.

In a seemingly ordinary stone house, a man wearing an antique brown jacket sat in front of a brazier burning charcoal, unfolding a crumpled piece of paper in his hand.

Beside him, there were a dozen people sitting around another brazier, playing poker and shouting loudly, which was quite noisy.

But the man always turned a deaf ear to them, just repeatedly playing with the paper in his hand, pondering the information on it.

His name is Hou Tielong, a small lord of the New World before, and now a bounty hunter.

In the Origin Territory, the profession of bounty hunter is not a rare thing.

Walking outside, if you randomly catch ten people and ask them, it is very likely that nine of them are so-called bounty hunters, who are familiar with the bounty information on the bulletin board.

Most of them are jealous of the rewards on the bounty order, and can clearly tell the life origin and appearance characteristics of each bounty holder.

But Hou Tielong thought he was different from these people, completely different.

The reason was very simple.

First, he had received the bounty from the new lord of the Origin Territory, and

more than once!

Second, his reputation was not very good.

Just a week ago, he used his keen sense of smell to detect the abnormality of nearly ten people in advance, set up a trap to arrest them, and sent them to the prison in the gathering place.

Once the prison interrogated and confirmed the information, the reward could be settled to him.

And the reason for his bad reputation was also here.

He might have misunderstood a good person and tortured him into confessing. He was not well received in the gathering place. Everyone was afraid that Hou Tielong would find an opportunity to do the same to him.

However.

Who cares?

At least Hou Tielong was quite satisfied with his life.

Doing those hard labor and menial jobs, you can't even fill your stomach at the end of the day, let alone dignity.

Going to the outside world to rob a caravan, you would overturn the car and be hacked to death if you are not careful. How risky it is.

Compared with these, catching the traitors hated by the lord in the gathering place may require a simple game to obtain ten or a hundred times the supplies of the former.

Good reputation?

Not as good as a steamed bun!

However, on the road of bounty hunting, Hou Tielong has not never failed.

Letting Marshal Wang slip away easily under his nose is the biggest black spot on his resume!

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Putting away the note in his hand, Hou Tielong looked up at the men who pushed the door in.

"How is it, did you see it clearly?"

The man who came in nodded and began to report respectfully.

"Brother Long, I've got a good look."

"Preliminary observation shows that they all have guns, mostly standard pistols, which look quite new. They are probably unearthed from the ruins, and they are quite powerful. Because it involves the ruins, it is not certain whether they have rifles or machine guns, which are powerful weapons. If we want to move, we must be careful."

"There are quite a few of them, including the leader, a total of 32 people. From their actions, it is basically certain that they have received a certain degree of training. They are not a mob, nor a temporary refugee team. If We can't catch them all at once, or we might get horrible retaliation from them."

"For fear of alerting the enemy, we haven't rashly asked Huang Bing what the specific purpose of this group of people is. But judging from their posture, they should have a lot of good things in their hands. They are very generous, so we can focus on observing them."

"I asked the hotel owner that they will stay here for more than three days, so we don't have to worry for the time being. We can monitor them carefully during the day tomorrow."

""

The man has an amazing memory. He reported five or six items in a row and still blurted them out.

However, after he finished the first item, Hou Tielong, who was sitting opposite him, frowned and his face darkened.

"According to you, this group of people looks like a tough guy."

"You continue to monitor, try to get ahead of others, and report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation!"

After giving two orders and watching the man push the door and leave, Hou Tielong stretched out his hand and threw the note into the brazier casually, watching the flames rise faintly and swallow the whole note.

People who are not familiar with his past actions, looking at this performance, may think that he has chosen to give up this risky behavior.

But people who are familiar with him know

"There are guns, supplies, information about unknown ruins, and the possible whereabouts of Marshal Wang"

Danger is often accompanied by huge benefits.

Just a group of foreign dragons, what tricks can they play!

The more he thought about it, the more excited Hou Tielong became.

He even began to worry about one thing, that the other bounty hunters in the gathering place would take action before him.

"If I eat this wave of fat sheep, I will not have to worry about the supply problem in the next three months, or even half a year!"

"Done!"
