"They actually looked at us …" Ivan said in a low tone with a hint of surprise.
"That’s because we carry guns … the guards are mainly to prevent the captured slaves from escaping, and we are not slaves." The hound swaggered into the settlement with a pie mouth.
Ke Lan noticed that almost every shack was crowded with naked exiles, all of whom were slaves. They were thin and almost skinny, and their skin was covered with large areas of ulceration-all of them were radiation patients, who had to be exposed to radiation for most of the day, and it was impossible to get rid of the root cause without protective measures.
Even those sentries and supervisors have poor protective equipment, not to mention that they can’t even meet the needs of slaves.
They stared at the four people who entered the settlement with extremely dull eyes. These slaves’ self-personalities have long been wiped out by hard work, and their survival ability still drives this walking corpse. They have no interest in other things except food. As far as hounds are concerned, these slaves are no longer people. They are just a group of animals in captivity.
This should be the main source of income for the slave trade. People living here in Chengdu are regarded as "businesses", and normal exiles account for a very small part.
"There should be a strong armed force in this settlement. They will regularly rob the Ark transit or some other weak settlements, and then train the captured prisoners into slaves and sell them to other trade settlements in exchange for living materials and weapons," said the hound.
"Look, there’s a shop over there." The speaker is Ivan. He is pointing to a shack that looks less broken. Kelan turns to see a piece of wood charcoal hanging outside the shack that says something that can be traded.
To buy hard currency is not a symbol, nor a precious metal such as gold and silver, but a gray potato, which is an alpha star soil. Similar to potatoes, it will make starch-rich tubers the most important staple food of exiles-but compared with potatoes, they taste worse and contain trace neurotoxins. The long-term consequences of eating them are radiation sickness and hemiplegia.
One kilo of "meat from different sources" can be changed to five to ten kilos of grey potatoes, depending on the radiation content of the meat; An ark produces a type 1 rifle, and the caliber millimeter powerful rifle bullet is worth 150 kilograms of gray potatoes; It is not as valuable as a bullet for a male adult slave who is "strong and can do heavy work" to ask for 65 kilograms of gray potatoes.
The most expensive price list is a drug called "Xiaofuning", which can reduce the radiation content of human body, inhibit the development of radiation sickness and prolong the life span of radiation sickness patients … One gray potato costs as much as 700 Jin and sells three pills a week.
However, it is not difficult to understand whether to play or something else needs simple tools. Although the workmanship is so rough that it can’t be seen, it can at least be eliminated. This thing has an ark surface to produce drugs. The main way for exiles to get drugs is to attack the ark and set up Alpha Star for transit everywhere. But this kind of line is extremely dangerous, and once it is discovered by the ark, it is likely to lead to disaster.
"Do you need anything?" Seeing four people staying at the door, the shopkeeper hurriedly emerged from the shack. This is a chubby figure-this guy must be doing well in this condition.
"We are picking out slaves and will come to you when we have chosen them-don’t follow our ass. We don’t like being stared at and we don’t need advice from others." The hound said in a very arrogant tone and touched the type 1 rifle hanging on his side in a demonstrative way
"Okay, okay, no problem." Fat nodded wisely. "The first shack from here to the corner there are all my slaves. You can pick any place you want and then go on. The surname is Li. His slaves are all infected. If they don’t live long, they will buy one and lose one."
"I’ll see for myself." The hound coldly lost a word and ignored the slave trader and walked on.
At this moment Leighton suddenly pulled his eyes and motioned for the direction of one or nine o’clock.
It’s a shack bigger than a "shop", almost four or five meters high. From a distance, it gives people a sense of standing out from the crowd. The black canvas outside the shack is tightly covered, and even the door curtain is a thick black blanket with white lime painted with some strange patterns.
"What’s the matter? Do you suspect that this is the leader of this settlement? " Asked the hound
Leighton, however, shook his head. "That’s not a key. Look at the glass tube shining on the door frame … That thing is not a lamp. It’s a complicated crystal tube that can be made by Alfven … It’s a core component of’ dead light’."
"Death beam core components? Are you sure? But … Those ambushing people are not exiles … "
"Sure but a" death ray "inside such crystal road tube has ten thousand root where they might be picked up …" Leighton said carefully.
"Go and see" the hound made a decision.
"Didn’t you say don’t get into trouble?"
"This has been trouble riding face how to hide? Is it a blessing or a curse? Have you heard this sentence? "
With that, he walked towards the shack, but before he got close to ten meters, two people in black cloaks came out from the next corner and stopped the hound.
"…’ Praise the glory of the true God and praise the greatness of the true God’" The two men looked at one of the four of them and suddenly uttered such an uncanny remark.
The hound in the mind a tight "finished how there is such a crop? Is this sentence an incision? "
He held the dagger in the sleeve and tapped the ground with his right heel-the code word "prepare for battle" that the hound and the other three had agreed on earlier.
Praise the glory of the true god … When the situation was deadlocked, Kelan vaguely felt that this sentence was familiar …
It’s that inscription! There is this sentence in that inscription. Although it is difficult to accurately translate it into human language, the general idea is almost like this!
"Praise the glory of the true God and praise the greatness of the true God!"
This is an alpha prayer!
Then the next sentence should be … self-sacrifice? Or give yourself? Kelan searched his memory as much as possible … The inscription says that if it is similar to human rhetoric …
"’May the true God give everything in victory’"
Koran consciously blurted out that even the hounds were all stunned, and after hearing this, the two men in black were even more frightened to disgrace and retreated!
Shit … Is this a revelation? Isn’t this nothing to do with that stone tablet root?
The hand behind Kelan’s hiding has been insured with a rifle. If the hound pulls out the short knife, he will immediately raise his gun and shoot at the two men in black.
What should I do next? I can get out of this settlement alive first.
But let Koran they didn’t expect it to be a second. Two men in black were actually kneeling to shake their bodies tightly and said, "I didn’t expect it to be the prophet’s adult! We failed to ask the Prophet for forgiveness! "
Prophet?
Kelan looked puzzled. What the hell is that?
Chapter 31 priestess
Good two men in black are afraid to look up, or they will definitely see the wonderful expression on the faces of Kelan.
"Why … what happened?" The hound stepped back and moved to Kelan’s side and gently pulled his skirt and asked
"I don’t know … I … I’ll follow what they said and pick it up casually …"
"Are you now? ！” The hound was startled
Kelan nodded, so it seems that it is true. After all, stone tablets are a vague concept. This secret code is really his present compilation.
It is difficult for human beings to translate different languages into each other, let alone to describe the Alpha prayer in human language at all … It is more appropriate to write a proposition according to the gist of the inscription than to translate it.
This kind of situation can be right, it’s just a blind cat killed and consumed.
"Well … are you going to lie down like this all the time?" Koran some headaches to see the eyes two men in black dare not move the temperature is now very low, the ground is as cold as ice … He is not worried that these two guys freeze to death is that you want to die before yourself.
When the time comes, the exiles in the settlement will find out that it can’t be explained clearly …
"If the Prophet doesn’t give us forgiveness, we dare not get up," said the man in black, with a hint of vibrato in his tone, which seemed to be freezing.
Crazy? what is this? You’re freezing. Are you still holding on? Or do all the exiles have a serious tendency of self-abuse? Kelan secretly condescension way
"Come on, I’ll give you forgiveness." There’s no way that Kelan can show off. He doesn’t know how long he can maintain his inexplicable "prophet" status, but for now, these two men in black don’t seem to doubt the authenticity of this fake at all.
But then again … Does the "prophet" in their mouth also have the ability to read the Alpha language? Otherwise, how could they use the stone tablet prayer as a code word?
Is there another stone tablet in this way, and that "prophet" ability may be obtained from another stone tablet?
"Thank God for his greatness!" Two men in black rushed to get up from the ground. In less than a minute, their cheeks were already blue and purple with cold.
I let you up, and you actually thanked the true God … Kelan’s heart silently vomited another sentence.
"Prophet’s adult, please come in." The two men in black finally realized that it was more disrespectful to let the Prophet stay outside in the cold than not to meet him far away. They quickly pulled the black curtain and made a gesture of coming in.
"What should I do?" Koran eyes asked the hound.
