Jonson sneezed, and he rubbed his nose, which was red from the freezing wind. \net

The time is eight o'clock in the morning, although the sky is already bright, but in the cold winter season, the weather is not warm because of the arrival of the day. Sunlight is a product of the old age, but in the new age, people can only enjoy the skylight that diffuses to the earth from behind the thick radiant cloud.

Looking around, there was a white world outside Pavaric. Radiant clouds piled up on the road, turning the entire land into a snowfield. The branches and leaves of the abnormally tall cedars have been shed, leaving only the yellow-brown epidermis. Without the branches and leaves, the fir does not have to bear the weight of radiant snow, and the fibrous roots that are nearly kilometer long allow them to draw water from some flowing groundwater deep in the ground, waiting for the spring to grow branches and leaves in the coming year. Chance.

Jonson couldn't help shivering when he looked at the almost borderless dense forest of silver frost outside Pavaric. Under the quiet forest on the surface, if someone digs into the ground, they will find a country full of fibrous roots. In that country, you will see mountains of bones. After all, plants in the new era no longer rely solely on sunlight and rain to survive, they have become bloodthirsty beings.

So Jonson is grateful that he lives in Pavaric, even though this is a place where birds don’t shit, even though he has to stand guard in the tower before five o’clock every day. But at least in this small town, Johnson has a job and can support his wife and children. With the efforts of the mayor Mensa and several big figures, Pavaric's days are getting better every day.

In addition to the hunter union under Chairman Fred creating huge profits from the fur income of the town every year, it is also because Pavaric has an important client. Qiaosen couldn't help but glanced at the dense forest southwest of the town, where a group of magical lives lived. They built magnificent underground cities and controlled an oil well that seemed to have no limits.

oil!

One of the most lacking things in the new era, those aliens living underground use this fuel called "black gold" to barter with Pavarics. This business alone has greatly benefited the whole town. Naturally, most of the benefits are in the hands of big people, and small people like Qiaosen only get a small amount of dividends every year. But even this little dividend is worthy of Joeson's three-month salary!

In this cruel age, there is bread to eat and clean water to drink every day. If you are sick, you can ask a doctor. Joson believes that for many people, Pavaric is already paradise.

The weather was too cold, and Jonson rubbed his flushed hands. He felt itchy on the back of his hand, and couldn't help scratching his fingers a few times. On the back of Qiaosen's hand, there was a layer of fleshy cocoon that was not too thick. The chunks of meat cocoons are spiral, with dark red silk threads running through the meat cocoons like capillaries. Looking at this layer of meat cocoons, Jonson thought he had to find time to go to the hospital.

This is a mutated tissue, a kind of "skin disease" that almost every ordinary person living in surface towns will suffer from. The existence of mutated tissues will make people like Qiaosen endure the radiation on the surface, but they are double-sided blades. In addition to improving the physical fitness of ordinary people against radiation, they will also desperately absorb the vitality of ordinary people, making them much shorter lives than those who live in underground cities and have a well-protected environment.

Fortunately, the only small hospital in Pavarichri has the qualifications for surgical removal of variant tissue. It's just that there is no way to completely eradicate it. The residents of the town have to undergo such an operation almost every three years to extend their lifespan a little.

While calculating whether his savings would be enough to pay for an excision operation, Jonson suddenly heard about the car engine. He looked towards the snowy field outside the town with some surprise. At first it was just a black spot, but after a while. A modified jeep smashed the snow on the ground through a snow removal system and sprayed it from both sides, allowing it to drive out of the dense forest of silver frost and head straight towards Pavaric.

There seems to be a cargo hopper behind the jeep, which is covered with a tarp, and I don’t know what it is.

Only after the initial surprise passed, Jonson regained his composure. Except for this car, he couldn't see anything suspicious. He thought that it should be risky merchants, although risky merchants are rarely seen this season. But there are also some desperate guys, taking advantage of this winter snow to close the road, and when prices are rising, they risk their lives to cross the wilderness to make a profitable business.

People like this, Pavaric meets two or three every winter. And usually, the following year rarely sees those who dare to take risks. The wilderness is not safe, especially in winter. In an environment where roads are difficult to pass, it is difficult to get rescue if you are in distress. However, this is also the reason why risky merchants obtain huge profits.

After all, profit is always with risk.

Knowing, but Jonson still faithfully fulfilled his duties as a gatekeeper. He first used the walkie-talkie to notify the guard to keep the soldiers of the city defense team on guard. Following him, he picked up an old-time firearm rifle and aimed it at the approaching vehicle under the guard tower, and then said loudly, "Hey, stop man!"

After shouting three times in a row, the car stopped in the snow a few hundred meters away from the entrance. The door of the jeep opened, and a person jumped out of the car. In terms of body shape, he should be a man, tall and tall, but his body shape is not very strong, but rather fragile. This wraps himself in a hooded cloak to maintain his body temperature.

He stretched out his hand under the cloak and opened his hood, revealing an Asian face. From the outside, this man is quite young and his facial features are very handsome, making people feel good at first sight. It's just that he has a blindfold on his right eye, which makes Jonson feel uncomfortable for some reason.

The young man said in a calm voice: "Hello, we are adventure merchants from the far south. I heard that your furs here are of high quality, so I want to buy a batch. Moreover, we bring some goods, you should Will be interested."

Joson nodded, Zhonggui Zhongyuan's self-introduction was nothing special. He pointed the barrel to the cargo bucket and said, "Sir, please uncover the tarpaulin on your cargo bucket and accept the inspection by our guards."

"No problem." The man was very cooperative. He waved to the car, so two more figures jumped off.

Judging from the body, it should be a man and a woman. Although she couldn't see her face because of the hat, while the woman's cloak was fluttering, the curve of the figure occasionally revealed from inside made Jonson's throat dry.

At this time, the alloy gate of the town was separated from both sides with the help of hydraulic machines, and four or five guards ran out of the town quickly and jumped onto the cargo bucket to check. After a while, a guard shouted to Jonson on the guard tower: "No problem, mostly food, and two boxes of rifles. It was wrapped in tarpaulin, and it looked like a good quality."

After the guard jumped out of the car, the young man shook hands with him, as if to say thank you for letting go. Jonson smiled and put away his rifle. If the guard is lucky, he will get a tip if he encounters a generous businessman. Of course, for city guards like them, even if they are tipped by generous merchants, they are generally divided equally.

Jonson no longer cares about the affairs of the city, and directly informs the gate to let him go. He didn't know that the guard did get the tip, and it was a lot.

The guard felt something stubborn in his palm and pressed his palm. When the young adventurous businessman withdrew his hand, he found a small piece of yellow gold in his palm. There was a burst of joy in his heart, this small piece of gold was almost equal to his half-year income. When he was happy, he heard the young businessman say in a gentle voice: "I don't know which shop in the town has the best reputation. You see, we have a lot of business to do, and we must find a reliable merchant to cooperate."

The guard secretly hid the gold and nodded: "When it comes to credibility, naturally you have to find the Owl Company. Their boss is the chairman of the chamber of commerce in our town, and credibility is definitely not something to say."

The young businessman said again: "Then please tell me where this company is, can you please?"

The guard took advantage of others, and saw that the young man was very polite and had a good feeling for Dasheng. He patted his chest and said, "Well, let me take you there."

"That would be better." The young man smiled.

When the guards left, the young man and two other companions got back into the car. There was still a petite girl in the back seat of the carriage. The four of them drove the car and swaggered into Pavaric as the guard opened the way. These people are naturally zero, Berion, Su and a Ye Liu. The linkage convoy of the three giants of Asgart arrived on the other side of the Silver Frost Forest as early as last night. It was a cold winter and the road was blocked by heavy snow, and there were no residents of Pavaric. Even the hunters in the town are at rest at this time, so the convoy is not afraid of being discovered by the people in the town.

In this morning, Beyonce gave a false identity for Zero Class to enter Pavaric, and then pretended to be an adventurous businessman. In order to gain Pavaric's trust, the food and even the guns on the hopper were actually being purchased from some factories on the southern coastline. Even the people of the Pavaric Chamber of Commerce conducted a rigorous investigation of these commodities, and eventually only found out that they were from the south.

Zero naturally has nothing to say about Beyonce's carefulness. In the early morning, when the sky was drenched, they walked through an edge of the dense silver frost forest with Berion to reach the town. Now that they have drove into the town, it is half the plan.

In the car, Su said, "The captain looks good when he is dressed as a businessman."

Berion, who was sitting in the back seat, said: "Where is such a young adventurous businessman, if it were me, I would definitely have to capture an old man to dress up."

Ling smiled and said: "The old man has always been serious, and how many people dare to cross the wilderness to come here at this time. And only a bird like me who seems to have just entered the industry can'great desire' travel thousands of miles. Besides, As long as it is profitable, business professionals will not care whether their partners are young or old."

While talking and laughing, the car drove through the gate. The guard who received zero benefits did not break his promise. He drove a motorcycle to lead the way, leading a few people to drive behind him. It was late, pedestrians began to move around in the town, and shops on the main street opened one by one, and the town was gradually showing vitality.

Zero drove on the main road of the town. The residents of the town were curious about these early morning visitors, and cast all kinds of eyes on their vehicles. Occasionally, when the tarpaulin of the cargo bucket is lifted by the wind, and the box containing the gun is exposed, the residents will cause a small commotion. Although the economy of the town is good, the trade is mainly fur and the unknown "black gold".

And guns are undoubtedly another hard currency besides black gold. Limited by its technological level and backward production capacity, Pavaric does not have such a product as an arsenal. The firearms used by the hunters and the city defense guards were also purchased from elsewhere, and they lag far behind in terms of performance. Therefore, compared with other commodities, in Pavaric, guns are more favored by merchants.

Among them, several businessmen were very interested in these two boxes of guns. When they saw the zero vehicle parked in front of the door of the Owl Business, these businessmen had nothing but to die. The owner of the Owl Business is Sharon, the chairman of the town's chamber of commerce, and that profiteer will certainly not let go of such highly profitable commodities as guns. If Sharon makes a move, how can ordinary businessmen like them intervene.

"Here, it's here." The guard jumped off the motorcycle, said to Zero, and called out to the shop that had already opened to welcome customers: "Old Rob, get out of here, there are big customers."

Zero left Berrien in the car and jumped out of the car. At this time, I saw a skinny old man slowly coming out of the shop. The old man glared at the guard first, and said with an old manner: "In the early morning, you are not afraid of making noisy people. The kid from the Octa family. I haven't seen him for a few days. I don't see anything else. , The voice is much louder."

The guard laughed and pointed at the old man and said to zero: "This gentleman, old Rob is the supervisor of the Owl Company. You can ask him for any business. I will bring you the place, then I will walk. The pile of work is waiting for me to do it."

"Thank you, and may the omnipotent Lord bless you, sir." Ling said with a cross on his chest.

Before coming here, Beyonce told him that adventurous merchants usually travel through dangerous wilderness, so they believe in the existence of gods more than anyone. So if Zero can add some elements of this aspect between conversations, his identity will look more credible.

Sure enough, after Zero said that, the old man's eyes lost a bit of distrust.

"This guest, since you were brought by the kid from the Octa family, come in. I don't know what kind of business you are going to do?" The old man beckoned to Zero, and walked into the store with his hand.

Several people in the Ling Chao car winked, and the other three, including Ye Liu, got out of the car and walked into the store with Ling. Old Rob took them to a quiet room, sat down, took out from his body the list of goods prepared earlier, and handed it to the old man: "These are the goods we brought, and they are all produced by the southern factory. Wait for the goods, I think Pavaric will need them."

The old man took it over and took a look. The list listed a series of different canned foods, as well as some artificially nourished fruits, which were considered rare in Pavaric. But what made old Rob really fascinated was the two boxes of sophisticated firearms. Although they were imitations of the old age, they were much better than the old ones that Pavaric bought from elsewhere, and they were also included with the guns. It comes with a considerable amount of ammunition, and not many merchants will be unwilling to see it here.

Old Rob was unmoved on the surface, and said indifferently: "Since you can find our Owl Company, I will naturally give you a good price for these goods. Wait a minute, our appraiser is still at work, or you are interested. Go to our town?"

"No, in fact, when we came this time, we still want to resell some specialty products of your town." Ling showed a deep smile.

Old Rob lowered his head and looked at Zero with his turbid eyes: "Thank you, please be clear. We have a lot of specialty products, and fur is one of them."

"More valuable than fur, I want to buy some black gold." Ling said.

Old Rob said "Oh" and said, "Guest, you are well informed, but black gold is not as common as fur. We charge cash."

"I know this." Ling Chao Bei Lien made a gesture, and the latter threw him a backpack. Zero opened the leeward, hung upside down, and immediately fell out of a gold bar from his backpack.

Old Rob's eyes immediately dazzled the gold. He rubbed his eyes and picked up a gold bar from the ground with no less speed than the young man and bit it in his mouth. He said in surprise: "Good fellow, purity. good."

"The old gentleman is very knowledgeable. I don't know how much black gold can you buy from these gold bars?"

Old Rob made a gesture and asked the zero to collect the gold bars, and then said: "You want more weight than I can call the shots. I have to inform my master that he should be interested in discussing this business with you. Everyone please Wait a moment here, I will come as soon as I go."

After all, Old Rob resigned.

Berion wanted to say something at this time, but Zero shook his head slightly, so he swallowed the words back into his stomach, and waited quietly in this small room with the rest of the people. Before the few people were allowed to wait too long, Old Rob opened the door and beckoned to the few people: "Everyone, come with me. My old father Sharon wants to see you."

Sharon stretched and struggled to get up from this big bed of grass. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com He looked at the jade bodies on the bed, and laughed happily. He is not young anymore, but his energy has not degraded at all, but he is more vigorous than ever. Last night, he and these three beautiful young women almost fought all night. They played a lot of tricks and didn't go to sleep until the early hours of the morning.

Originally, according to Sharon’s habit, such a carnival last night, no matter what, today I have to sleep for the whole day. But just now, old Rob, the supervisor of the firm, called and said that an adventurous businessman was carrying a full backpack of gold bars to buy black gold. This was a big deal. So no matter how unhappy Sharon was, he could only leave this warm bed temporarily.

However, Pavaric's black gold trade has always been secretive, and the source of customers is fixed, and there are few new faces. Especially according to old Rob's description, these adventurous businessmen are very young. Of course, only young people dared to make money desperately in this season, just like Sharon's youth. But he is no longer young, and time has given him mature and thoughtful thinking.

Sharon thought for a while and asked Old Rob to bring the guests to his apartment, and at the same time he transferred a guard of his own. He wants to find out the details of this group of people, if it is not good intentions, killing someone in Pavaric is not a big deal.

Sharon chuckled, stretched out a big hand and grabbed one of the white ass, before leaving contentedly.
