The following text.

Three days later, Chen Xing ran for hundreds of kilometers and arrived outside a small mountain village in Sakala Province, Qing Dynasty.

Qingguo is a centralized power system, adopting a provincial system, and regions are divided into provinces, cities, counties, counties, and villages according to their size. It is very different from the semi-enfeoffment and semi-parliamentary red country. The Qing emperor has great power, and there is no voice in the country to compete with it.

The regions of the red country are divided into principalities, cities, large towns, fringe towns, and villages. The principality is equivalent to the province of the Qing Dynasty, but it is much larger and relatively independent and complete.

This is determined by the topography of Qingguo. Green countries are mostly mountainous, difficult to transport, crop production is low, resources are relatively scarce, industry is underdeveloped, and the provinces need to depend on each other and cannot operate independently like the principality.

The Red Kingdom is the most powerful country in the world. It is known as "the darling of the gods". It has the most fertile and flat land, rich water plants, and diverse products.

Although Huang Country sits on Dafangzhou and has the largest land area in the world, the semi-desertified land is not suitable for farming and the output is not as good as that of Qing Country.

This is also why the red-earth wars in history are the blue and yellow countries uniting against the red country. The combined population of the two countries is less than half that of the red country. If they do not unite, they will be destroyed immediately.

Taking the Red Dragon Principality alone, it is a medium-sized country on the east and west continents, and its national strength can be imagined.

Chen Xing observed for a while and determined that there was nothing unusual in the mountain village, and left the woods and walked in.

Just as he guessed, Zhao Yuankai didn't dare to publicize it because it was related to the reputation of the Seven Princesses. He only searched in a small area and did not make a large-scale wanted.

He ate all the food he brought, and he was too lazy to hunt and barbecue himself, and he planned to find something to eat in the village.

Walking into the small market in the mountain village, there are only lonely figures, and a few village women selling vegetables are chatting loudly, bursting out laughter like mountain torrents from time to time.

A small shop is half open and half closed, with a wooden board hanging on the door with the word "food" engraved on it.

"Is there anyone?" Chen Xing bent down and walked into the store. The smell of firewood peculiar to the country kitchen puffed out, making people feel hungry.

"Come here." An old man in an apron ran in from the back door, with a kind face, and asked enthusiastically while wiping his hands with his apron, "Young man, what do you want to eat?"

The shop was dark, with only two tables and benches. Chen Xing casually found a place to sit down and said, "Anything will do. Bring whatever you have to eat."

"The blue bamboo shoots I just picked this morning, stir-fry them, and get some goose stewed in soy sauce. They are delicious. There are also homemade kimchi, which are much better than those from the factories outside."

After a while, a few hot Qingguo country dishes were placed on the table.

Chen Xing tried the fried blue bamboo shoots first, and it was really crisp and delicious. This is a special product of Qing Dynasty, the blue-spotted bamboo shoots, which are said to be the cause of the formation of blue blood people.

Not only the blue-blooded people, but the ordinary people in the country like it. Because most of the blue blood people are nobles, many people think that eating blue bamboo shoots will gradually become nobles.

The goose stewed in soy sauce is also delicious, fat but not greasy, and chewy, which makes it delicious.

"This is an old goose raised by my own family. It's five or six years old. The meat is solid and tastes delicious." The old man smoked a dry cigarette next to him, saying a few words from time to time.

After eating some steamed rice noodles with minced meat, Chen Xing exhaled a long breath, eating very satisfied.

"Old man, how much is it?" Chen Xing took out his purse.

"Three copper plates." The old man stretched out three fingers.

Chen Xing thought three silver coins, but he didn't expect it to be so cheap that they would only be enough to buy a cup of milk tea or a sandwich in Longshi Town.

The mountain people of the Qing Dynasty are still relatively simple, and they will not deliberately raise the price and slaughter them when they encounter a foreigner. The most expensive hot dog sausage he had eaten in his last life was two gold coins, and he drew a gun on the spot.

Come.

Chen Xing took out a gold coin and put it on the table.

"Oh, this is too big to be found," the old man said sadly. One gold and ten silver, ten silver and one hundred bronze. The market just opened in the morning and there are not so many copper plates.

"No need to look for it." Chen Xing said. It may be hungry. I feel that this meal is almost the same as the Danjin-one-gold-one gram of Shenshan Snowflake Beef, but it is delicious anyway.

"Ah! This, this can't be done!" The old man quickly refused. A gold coin is almost half of his income.

"Old man, is there a bigger city near here?" Chen Xing asked.

"The nearest one is Linzhi City. You have to take an ox cart to the county and then transfer to a car to get there."

"Is anyone here today?" Chen Xing asked. In the past three days, he ran hundreds of kilometers on two legs and needed a break.

"I'll ask." The old man left after a while and came back, followed by a dark fat man, "The black egg is going to the county for delivery, and the gentleman can take his car."

After a while, Chen Xing was lying on the bullock cart, holding a blade of grass, leaning on the sack of potatoes behind him, looking at the sky, enjoying the leisurely journey.

The green mountains and green waters along the way make people feel relaxed and happy. Maybe one day I’m tired, so I’ll come here to find a place for retirement, which seems pretty good.

Of course, women are indispensable, otherwise life will be boring, like waiting for death...

Two days later, Chen Xing came to the nearby Chengshan County. Separate from the black egg and get on the bus. The cars were full of villagers carrying chicken coops and baskets. The car was full of chicken **** and sweat, which was terrible.

Sitting at the station in Gunshang and changing to a long-distance bus, this is a lot more comfortable.

After going all the way, I finally reached Linzhi City, feeling very backward, worse than Gray Point City. The degree of development is between Dragon Stone Town and Gray Point City.

Chen Xing inquired about and came to the mercenary gathering place in Linzhi City.

"I want a ticket for the New World." Chen Xing pushed a gold coin in front of the bar owner.

He did not dare to return home immediately, because Zhao Yuankai was likely to send people to intercept at various checkpoints, and could not take the main road or take public transportation. In addition, Qingguo’s roads are underdeveloped and there are many faults. It takes at least a month to buy a second-hand car and drive back.

If you have some spare time, you might as well go to the New World to try your luck.

Now that the New World is being developed, there are floating boats going everywhere. However, most of them are modified cargo boats, half of cargo and half of people, comfort and private floats are not the same thing.

But in order to conceal others' eyes and ears, Chen Xing had to hide in the army of mercenaries flocking to the New World for gold.

The bar owner looked at Chen Xing a few times and asked, "A foreigner?"

"Something committed." Chen Xing said frankly. Although he can hide the black form information, his accent can't be changed. The bar owner who has been dealing with monsters and ghosts all day can easily hear it.

"Thirty golden junks, no bargaining." The bar owner said, wiping the plate.

The logic of this kind of place is exactly the opposite of that of other places. Criminals are commonplace, but serious people have to be careful.

"Didi!"

[You transfer 30 gold to "Park Young Chul"]

[The transfer is successful, and the holdings are being updated...]

[Gold holdings: 8 gold, 0 silver, 0 copper (cash), 1579211 gold, 5 silver, 1 copper 9% (bank)]

"Tonight's boat will gather at ten o'clock and set off at eleven o'clock. The location is east of the suburbs. I will send you the coordinates one hour in advance. According to the old rules, we won't wait until the expiration date."

Chen Xing nodded and left.

Many mercenaries have large or small cases. He has been in the field all year round, with weak legal consciousness and armed force, making it easy to commit crimes.

Choosing to start from the suburbs in the middle of the night is to avoid surprise inspections.

Obviously it is a serious transportation industry. When it comes to mercenaries, it becomes sneaky, like a thief.

In fact, this is related to the original sin of the mercenary industry. Mercenaries are armed forces outside of the regime, and no ruling class would like them, but due to the conditions of the world, mercenaries have to exist.

At half past ten in the evening, Chen Xing came to a freight warehouse on the outskirts of the city according to the coordinates sent by the bar owner.

The civilian floater was parked on the open ground. The hull was in tatters, and there were traces of repair and patchwork everywhere. The propellers were covered with black and gray, which made people wonder whether they would fall apart halfway and fall into the sea.

More than a dozen mercenaries are moving supplies and transporting green leather boxes to the warehouse.

Chen Xing only carried a military mountaineering bag, with the psionic silver star that the mayor gave him at his waist, and went into battle lightly.

Everything is stored in the storage space, enough to eat two or three months of military rations, as well as some special guns and ammunition.

He now has the power of psionic manifestation, and ordinary ammunition and firearms can be directly manifested without the need to carry.

He now has three guns on his body. In addition to the psionic silver star on his waist, which is the future version of SCAR, there is also a "hunting angel".

Hunting angels are powerful and can be used against large units.

After getting on the floating boat, Chen Xing casually found a corner to sit down.

"Hurry up, hurry up, take off soon!"

Under the repeated urging of the captain, the mercenaries finally moved their things and entered the cabin panting.

The sound of gas filling sounded from above, and the floating boat slowly lifted off the ground.

With the development of science and technology, the cost of producing helium has been greatly reduced, and with the development of planes, more new materials are available. In addition, jet aircraft are only allowed to be produced on a small scale. The main transportation force of the red earth world.

Before the cataclysm, the rich liked to show off private yachts, and now the rich like to show off private floats.

"Brother, do you want to take risks alone?" "Yeah."

Green Continent is very far away, and it takes at least five days to fly. The boat was boring, and a young mercenary guy talked with Chen Xingpan.

"Big brother is really amazing, I dare not go alone." The young man glanced at the brawny man with his eyes closed in the corner of the cabin, and introduced, "The one at the far end is my uncle. I'll follow him..."

"I wanted to come out a few years ago, but my uncle said that I was young and would not let me follow, so I went to the militia camp and exercised for a few years. Now my marksmanship is accurate, and one can be killed 100 meters away. Chickens."

"My uncle told me that if I can stay alone in the mountains for a whole month, he will take me out."

"As a result, do you know how long I stayed?"

"Forty days, if it weren't for my uncle to come to me, I would have forgotten to come out."

The guy said to himself, Chen Xing was idle anyway, just to pass the time.

"Brother, have you ever touched a woman?" the guy suddenly asked, looking excited.

Chen Xing was stunned, then shook his head. The young man is so young, it is better to have some illusions...

"I have something good." The guy looked around, then mysteriously took out a magazine, "Look at this milk/child, it's white and big!"

Chen Xing glanced at it, and it turned out to be a mercenary magazine from Hongguo. The cover was a glamorous beauty. She wore a thin and pure white dress with amazing curves. The large swathes of snow came into her eyes, and she saw the blood of the people. No one else, it is the Allure Princess Lacey Maris.

"Don't look at her, she is not a good woman." Chen Xing said.

"Is that so? It's okay, I have another one here." The guy took out another magazine, and the woman on it was equally glamorous, more dignified and less enchanting than the former.

"Big **** therapist, how about this?" the guy said excitedly.

"Or, let's see one..." Chen Xing suggested.
