I Was Born In The Underworld Chapter 262: Chiyang city-state, golden barley (3)
A few hours later.
The crowd finally passed through the perilous rainforest.
This rainforest, which is full of layers of crises and hides terrible monsters, is still unimpeded... Maybe this is the blessing of Lucky Star's special ability.
"Shit!"
"I can't feel my feet."
Old Musketeer leaned against a tree, and let go of the trousers he had strangled in with a rope.
At this time, his feet were swollen like light bulbs, bruises mixed with blood clots, and there were many marks of mosquito bites on them.
In the tropical rainforest... the most terrifying thing is often not the ferocious beasts, but the ubiquitous poisonous insects.
Although the old gun has rich experience and has already used rope to tighten the "pants legs, cuffs, collar" and other places where poisonous insects can easily get in, those mutated insects still tore up some pieces of cloth and got in.
Old Musketeer's whole foot is almost useless.
A finger-long parasite has already penetrated into the sole of the foot, greedily sucking blood, causing its belly to grow bigger and bigger.
Fortunately, he was prepared.
The cunning hunter will collect some herbs in the forest from time to time.
In ancient China, there were some concepts in Chinese medicine. Within ten steps of poisonous substances, there would always be medicinal herbs that both generate and restrain each other, which seemed to coincide with the cycle of heaven.
He first took out a long needle and picked out the blisters and sores on his feet.
Then gouged out a piece of flesh around the parasite's mouthparts.
These parasites all have protection mechanisms, and they will release stronger toxins when they encounter danger. The easiest way is to cut off all the small pieces of flesh and blood...
Old Muskete took out anti-toxin medicine and injected it on the bend of the leg, and then took out some herbs to cover the soles of the feet and the wound.
This is the end of the process.
Look at Gu Fan and Little Lucky again.
Gu Fan's strength is terrifying, and the toughness of his skin is far from what those mosquitoes can bite and tear.
As for Little Lucky, he is even more of a despicable coward, who can always avoid the bites of those poisonous insects, and there is hardly a pustule on his whole body.
It's really enviable and jealous.
As for the bandit leader named Cai Tuo, he was not so lucky.
There were many bulging pustules on his body, and there were a few "poisonous leeches" that fell from the tree on his back, sucking the blood, and soon became the size of a fist, propping up the vest high.
However, no one cares about his life.
"Okay, let's go directly to Chiyang City-State."
"It's not far from here, and the scale is not small, at least 7,000 to 8,000 people."
Old Muskete put on his shoes, limped a little, and showed a rich smile: "Bandit, you can be relieved when you get there. People in Chiyang City State hate robbers the most."
Chiyang city-state.
It was a city-state built on mountains and forests.
In fact, it is a city-state, at best it is a town before the end of the world, but it sounds nice, as if it is a small independent country.
The leader there is nicknamed Lieyang.
He is a very powerful hunter, and his grade has reached the top of human beings - fine steel grade.
Lieyang has a large number of subordinates. There must be at least 70 strong men who have reached the level of hunters, and the number of evolved men is more than 300.
This number... sounds like a joke, and it's not even comparable to a troop in a military base.
But in fact, for human beings who are struggling to survive in the cracks of the last days, they are already considered very powerful, and a city-state of about 8,000 people is already very large.
There are many similar city-states in the Dawn Alliance, and they can only be called powerful if they are united.
Soon.
The crowd arrived at their destination.
A soil wall more than ten meters high wraps the miniature city.
The defense of this earth wall is very average, but it is no problem to resist ordinary corpse monsters.
The few people went through the investigation very simply, and soon came to the city-state. The simple environment was like a small mountain village, and many people built weed huts together.
Cut down some bamboo forests on the mountain, pull up some weeds, and start building houses.
If it encounters strong winds and heavy rain, most of these houses will be overwhelmed, and it is even more common for rain to leak.
But the strange thing is that the living conditions of these refugee survivors are surprisingly good, and everyone has a happy and satisfied smile on their faces.
A woman is building a farmhouse, and many special plants in the last days are planted nearby.
It is something similar to "barley", which grows many times faster than ordinary barley, and the grain produced is like a bunch of large grapes, almost crushing the straw.
Mutated barley.
The end of the world has caused most creatures to mutate.
But there are also some plants that are developing in a good direction. For example, the golden bunch of mutated wheat in front of me was obtained from a big businessman in the Dawn Alliance.
"Huh?"
"That's golden barley."
Gu Fan recognized this creature, and the golden barley is very precious.
"Yeah, golden barley."
"Dawn Alliance, distributed seeds for free."
"But when the harvest is good, 30% of the tax revenue will be handed over to Chiyang City-State, and 30% will be handed over to the chamber of commerce."
"But even so, the remaining 40% is enough for the people to live, and there is even a lot left."
Remaining.
Poor refugees, grow food, and finally have some left over.
In the last days, this is absolutely unimaginable.
The Dawn Alliance seems to be a little different from the previous life? ?
In the last life, this golden barley was firmly controlled by some powerful "nobles", and it was even illegal for ordinary farmers to grow it.
In the end, those dignitaries will distribute the harvest of golden barley, and frantically extract other materials from the common people, or use a small portion of food to drain their labor force, all working like slaves.
But now it has become a free distribution.
No wonder the woman's face was brimming with happiness and full of energy. She carefully took care of these hard-won golden barley, and it turned out that 40% of it would eventually fall into her own hands.
In the last days, being able to eat enough is more important than anything else.
"The Butterfly Effect."
"A little butterfly flapping its wings will set off a storm on the other side of the ocean."
Gu Fan thought to himself: "My return from rebirth seems to have set off a small wind ~IndoMTL.com~ and this wind has become bigger and bigger, gradually forming a new storm."
Obviously.
The seeds of golden barley are extremely precious, but if they are distributed for free, they can be widely planted and more money, food and taxes can be extracted.
The free one is the most expensive, and the reward is the biggest.
This style of doing things, why is it so similar to the one under Gu Fan... Could it be said that the Chamber of Commerce of the Dawn Alliance also has a place for Wang Dafu? ?
"Big Brother Gu Fan."
"I'm going to turn this kid over to Chiyang City-State, and then exchange the resources in my hands for some money."
Old Musketeer suppressed the leader who was so strong, and at the same time gave Lucky Star a look: "Take our boss and have a good time in Chiyang City. We have gained a lot this time, and we can squander it for a while."
Play around.
When Lucky Star heard this, his eyes became much more obscene.
