At the south gate of Ping'an Street, under the huge wall dozens of meters high, there is only a two-car-wide arch and a small door for six people to walk side by side.
The big archway car is taken, and the small door is taken.
A team of soldiers stood at the city gate, guarding the passage into the city.
On the one hand, it is to check that small nuclear bombs, infection sources and other contraband are brought into the city, and on the other hand, it is to charge city gate taxes to those entering the city gate.
This is exactly the same as the Sixth Block four years ago.
However, there are a little more sub-crystals in Beijing, and Ping'an Street is also larger, so the city gate tax is naturally relatively expensive.
In addition, there is no such thing as an inner circle or an outer circle on Ping'an Street. The huge concrete walls include the entire survivor settlement, so you have to pay taxes when entering the city.
In the sixth block, only the inner circle is protected by concrete walls, so naturally taxes will be collected only when entering the inner circle.
At the small door, survivors lined up.
City gate tax, one person four crystals.
The survivor dressed in the hunter was slightly stunned, blushed and said angrily.
Four sub-crystals?Didn’t you give me two sub-crystals yesterday?Why did the city gate tax become four-point sub-crystal today?!Damn, why don’t you grab it?
When he heard that the city gate tax had doubled, the people queuing behind him were in a panic.
Wasn't it all two-point sub-crystals before?Why did the price suddenly rise?
What ah!
Grass, at worst, I can go to the east gate to take a look!
……
The soldier guarding the door was expressionless, and there was a police-type power armor standing next to him. The man who collected the city gate tax raised his chin impatiently and pointed his chin at the notice at the door.
It was changed last night, and it was the same for each door.If you have any questions, go to the city hall and ask, hurry up.Those who want to go to the city will pay the money, and those who don’t have money will give it aside.
Although the two sub-crystals increased, everyone had to grit their teeth and accept the price.
There is no way, there is the largest market and industrial area in Beijing. Only when hunters go there can the hunters dispose of the good things cut off from their prey, the scavengers can replace the good things full of baskets with sub-crystals, and the mercenaries can replenish ammunition and find new employers...
As for forced impact?
hehe.
Not to mention the police-type power armor at the door, the heavy machine guns on the huge wall are enough to make those who are ill-hearted to weigh it carefully.
After the initial riot, the queue began to move slowly. Although many people left the team, most of them stayed.
Standing at the end of the queue, Jiang Chen touched his nose embarrassedly.
If he guessed correctly, most of the reasons for the increase in the city gate tax was because of him.
The team moved slowly and quickly reached his position.
Twenty-one people.Walking forward, Jiang Chen said.
The tax officer looked impatient and was about to speak when he saw the twenty people behind Jiang Chen, his arrogant aura suddenly faded a little.
Twenty personal guards stood behind Jiang Chen. Although the clothes they were wearing were no different from those of the survivors around him, their momentum was not at the same level.
It was like a group of special forces standing among a group of new recruits, and they could tell at a glance.
84-point Asian crystal...Who are you?The tax officer asked a lot.
Mercenary.Jiang Chen threw a dark green crystal on the table, raised his thumb and pointed at the twenty personal guards behind him.
The tax officer twitched his lips, obviously not believing his nonsense, but he didn't take it seriously.
He is only responsible for retrieval and not for checking the household registration.
Go in.
Without talking nonsense to him, Jiang Chen nodded, gestured to the guards behind him, and according to the procedures, he placed the guns at the gun storage point behind the city gate, and walked towards the bustling Ping An Street.
After learning about the messenger of Hell from Zhou Guoping, Jiang Chen divided his personal guard into two groups.
One group of people returned to the military base on the same road, and the other group of people disguised themselves and followed him to the south gate of Ping'an Street.
At this moment, he was wearing a camouflage necklace around his neck and hid under his collar.
This type of camouflage necklace was very common before the war and almost replaced the existence of cosmetics.
Holographic technology has modified facial features to a certain extent. Although it is still the same facial features, it is much older than before. If it weren't for close people, it would be impossible to recognize them.
The reason why I have been so busy entering Ping'an Street is that I want to meet the legendary former Pan-Asian cooperation intelligence personnel in person, and on the other hand, I want to see the city.
Although the level of industrialization here is not high, far less than the Sixth Block under the rule of NAC, it also has its unique features.
For example, gun control.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ping'an Street in Beijing should be the entire Pan-Asian cooperation area, and the only large survivor settlement with a complete ban on guns. Even the Sixth District failed to do this.
In this wasteland that regards weapons as life, survivors in Beijing not only did not show resistance, but instead silently abide by this regulation.
Even the most powerful lone traveler is impossible to stay alert at any time.
At least on this Ping An Street, people can sleep peacefully in a real sense without worrying about being awakened by gunfire at night or being blown away by an enemy.
Of course, it is not ruled out that someone secretly brings the gun in.
But at least on the surface, everyone is abiding by this iron rule.
After passing by the slum and walking in the market at the south gate of Ping'an Street, Jiang Chen looked at the surrounding streets.
Compared with the Sixth Block, the lives of the people here are obviously much worse. Not to mention the magnetic levitation road, many people don’t even have decent cold-proof clothes, and some even wear strange clothes sewn with different fur.
However, from their calm faces, we can see that this seems to be the norm for survivors in the wasteland?
The survivors in Shanghai who are well-fed and well-dressed are a little abnormal.
Lu Fan.
yes.
Don't be so reserved, don't forget that your current identity is a mercenary.Jiang Chen said softly.
Since Li Wang was promoted to Captain Order by him, Lu Fan has served as the new captain of the guard.
This bodyguard in his thirties is good everywhere, and his loyalty is no less than Li Wang. He is not as flexible as Li Wang, and he is prone to serious transitions in some places.
Lu Fan hesitated for a moment and nodded.
yes.
Jiang Chen shook his head and gave up correcting his respectful look.
Anyway, the probability of meeting Ding Liwei and Fang Peng here is almost zero, and he is not worried that he will be questioned if he shows his foot.
Ping'an Street is very deep, and some neutral survivor forces are even worthy of the Beijing Survivor Alliance.
Jiang Chen paid special attention when he entered the city.
On the way, he met a group of bodyguards who were either rich or noble but had a face-to-face look. He had seen no less than three.
The Hell Messenger is located in the commercial street at the north gate. However, Jiang Chen did not go north, but instead walked around the market at the south gate and walked a section towards the industrial area behind the slums.
It is similar to what he saw on the Order Number, Ping An Street has a very thin industrial foundation, but it is quite outstanding by wasteland standards. Compared with the Sixth Block more than four years ago, it is at least twice its size.
Of course, the current Sixth Block can undoubtedly be a few blocks away.
The surrounding buildings began to become low, and the pedestrians on the street were mostly slaves or workers with disdain.
Thinking that Jiang Chen had taken the wrong path, Lu Fan hesitated for a while and stepped forward and whispered.
The messenger of hell is in Beimen Commercial Street.
I know.Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Lu Fan was slightly stunned.
Then why are we going here...
Have you ever seen anyone go to the bar early in the morning?Jiang Chen smiled, raised his chin in the direction of the industrial zone, and continued, not to mention that going to the Hell Messenger to inquire about Eden Technology is just a matter of by the way. Stopping around this Ping An Street is the main purpose of standing here.If it's just to inquire about information, it's not the same who I'll send?Why do you have to take action yourself?
I want to ask...Is this meaningful?Lu Fan said hesitantly, my suggestion is to leave us the information about inquiries, you are not safe here.If you encounter any emergency, you have a few things, we
OK.Jiang Chen waved his hand. I care more about my own safety than anyone else. You don’t have to worry about those unnecessary hearts, just follow me.
After pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen continued.
I'll answer your previous question now.How come it doesn't make sense?
Looking up at the towering Pan Asia building in the middle of Ping'an Street, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "We will be in the middle of the sky."
You mean.Lu Fan was slightly stunned, his expression became tranquil, and his pupils were filled with excitement. After solving the CCP person, we counterattacked...
Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed.
There are many ways to solve the problem, and I hope you can consider the problem from a different perspective.If you can't think about the same problem from multiple perspectives, you may miss a lot of better options.In this case, how can I feel at ease to entrust you with important responsibilities?
Lu Fan immediately lowered his head and said sincerely.
The subordinates have no intention of having high positions and generous salaries, but they hope to be the marshal.
It’s good to have this heart, it’s enough to have this heart.Jiang Chen laughed, NAC needs talents, loyal and reliable talents.Even if you want to stay in the position of captain of my personal guard for the rest of your life, you have to ask me if I agree or not?
The subordinates dare not, and are willing to obey the marshal's arrangement.Lu Fan said in fear.
Jiang Chen smiled, didn't answer, and stood not far from the entrance of the industrial zone, stopping.
What I just told you, should I consider the problem from a different perspective?In addition to the option of armed occupation, we have many more gentle and effective options that can more thoroughly take this place for ourselves without leaving a drop of blood.
Lu Fan did not interrupt, but just stood respectfully beside Jiang Chen, waiting for the marshal's following.
For example, we can buy it here.
Looking at the towering chimney of the steel mill, Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and smiled.
And it's with their own money.
The big archway car is taken, and the small door is taken.
A team of soldiers stood at the city gate, guarding the passage into the city.
On the one hand, it is to check that small nuclear bombs, infection sources and other contraband are brought into the city, and on the other hand, it is to charge city gate taxes to those entering the city gate.
