1519 Chaotic towns_1

Tang Zhen had just appeared when he was noticed by a lazy child. The child hurriedly warned his companions.

A trace of vigilance and panic appeared on the faces of these people when they saw the weapons on Tang Zhen’s back. They subconsciously hid some things under the sand.

A few of the men even rushed to the front and deliberately revealed the weapons on their bodies to warn Tang Zhen not to provoke them.

In this area, bandits were rampant, and their arrogant figures could often be seen. Robbery also happened from time to time, and ordinary people were often harmed, so they were full of vigilance against strangers.

Tang Zhen had naturally noticed the expressions on these people’s faces. However, there was still some information that he needed to obtain from the mouths of these natives. Therefore, even though the other party’s att.i.tude was extremely obvious, Tang Zhen still took the initiative to approach them.

“Don’t misunderstand, I’m just lost and have some questions to ask.”

Tang Zhen raised his hands and explained. He then took out a few s.h.i.+ny coins from his pocket and threw them to the man who seemed to be the leader.

They were the spoils of war collected from the ancient s.h.i.+ps and bandits. They were made of a special material and contained a special energy.

The man took the energy coin and looked at it for a moment before putting it into his pocket. He was obviously very happy, and his expression had softened a lot.

The man once again sized up Tang Zhen before speaking in a deep voice, generous stranger, what do you want to ask? I will tell you if I know.

Money had its use everywhere, especially the energy coins given by Tang Zhen, which were equivalent to their income from several days of work. The guard in the man’s heart was naturally reduced a lot.

tell me what’s outside the desert, who’s in charge of this place, and who I need to find if I want to get information.

The man sighed in relief after hearing Tang Zhen’s question. He subconsciously treated Tang Zhen as a mercenary who was traveling around.

This kind of wandering mercenaries was actually very common. In order to fill their stomachs or improve their strength, they often shuttled between the various fragments of the mainland. Compared to the fierce bandits, these people were obviously easier to talk to.

Perhaps the young man in front of him was a bounty hunter who specialized in hunting down bandits for Commission. He had gotten lost in the fallen star desert in order to hunt down the ancient wars.h.i.+p bandits.

After listening to the man’s story and combining it with the memories he obtained from the ancient s.h.i.+p bandits, Tang Zhen knew the specific information about the edge of the desert.

There was no unified government in this world, and most of the land was private territory. For example, the city at the edge of the desert was controlled by a guy named ” the modified ”

He was very strong and controlled many wandering mercenaries. He was not much different from a local tyrant here.

It was precisely because of the bounty order from Gurgan that the ancient Pirates would enter the Starfall desert whenever there was a meteor, in search of a bounty that could allow them to exchange for a large reward.

As Gurgan was obsessed with his modification experiments, he was not in the mood to manage his own territory, which led to an abnormal chaos in the security environment. There were fights every day in the town, and deaths were common.

If Tang Zhen wanted to obtain information, he would naturally have to come into contact with the mercenaries and the merchants who traveled to and from the fragment world. Only they would have the most complete and timely information.

In the town, there was more than one such place. Some were open to the public, while others belonged to secret organizations. Ordinary people couldn’t come into contact with them, so Tang Zhen had to look for them carefully.

The two of them talked for more than ten minutes and Tang Zhen obtained all the information he wanted. At the same time, he also knew the reason why these people were rummaging through the sand.

It turned out that there was a special metal from outer s.p.a.ce buried in the sand. However, the metal was very small and inconspicuous in the sand. It could only be found after careful inspection.

This was a very hard job, and his body would often be cut. Sometimes, he would be busy for an entire day and would not find a few Special Metals.

Because this special metal could be used to create high-grade weapons or the core component of a precision instrument, it had always been very expensive. The biggest buyer was also Gurgan.

According to the man, there were thousands of people digging for Special Metals and precious crystals in the fallen star desert, but most of them were concentrated in places further away. Most of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled, so they could only stay at the edge of the desert, and their harvest was naturally pitifully little.

Tang Zhen sized up these people’s bodies and discovered that there were cut marks everywhere. In particular, their palms were filled with hideous wounds. The scars had even formed thick calluses.

Be it the elderly or the children, they were all like this.

thank you for telling me. In addition, you’d better dig a place where you can stand. You might get an unexpected harvest!

Tang Zhen extended his hand and pointed at the man’s feet. His face carried a trace of a strange smile.

A trace of doubt appeared on the man’s face when he saw Tang Zhen turn around and leave. However, he still tried to use his tools to dig a little. This was because he felt that Tang Zhen’s words were not randomly spoken.

After digging a few times, he saw a special metal the size of an egg, and its surface had traces of melting.

“This Tao Wu!”

The man was stunned for a moment, then his face revealed a look of ecstasy. He held the heavy metal in his hand and bowed repeatedly to Tang Zhen, who was far away, regardless of whether Tang Zhen could hear him.

He had never dreamed that he would get such a generous return by just telling the other party some information that everyone knew.

With this unexpected gain, they would not have to worry about hunger for at least a year. They could even use the remaining money to improve their lives!

Tang Zhen, who had gone far away, naturally heard the cheers of those pitiful people. However, he did not care about it at all. This matter was something that he had done casually and was not worth mentioning.

In fact, there was an even larger piece of special metal nearby. However, Tang Zhen did not tell the man because this was not a good thing for them. It was very likely that they would attract unnecessary trouble.

A small fortune was a blessing, but a great fortune could very likely bring disaster, which ordinary people could not afford!

Tang Zhen continued to advance in the desert and finally arrived at the edge. A large number of dilapidated buildings with various shapes appeared in front of him. From time to time, he could see wandering pa.s.sersby, whose entire bodies were emitting a decadent aura.

A few men carrying weapons on their backs sized Tang Zhen up with scrutinizing eyes. However, they did not take the initiative to approach him. After all, people like Tang Zhen were often seen. Sometimes, hundreds or even thousands of people would appear.

Some of them were caravans, some were mercenary groups, and some were bandits. Only in such a situation would they attract the attention of the sentries.

Tang Zhen pa.s.sed through the street that was filled with garbage and feces as he slowly walked toward the central area of the town under the gazes that harbored ill intentions.

Ten minutes later, Tang Zhen stopped in front of a building that had been modified from a sc.r.a.pped wars.h.i.+p. He pushed the door open and walked in under the seduction of a prost.i.tute doing business at the door.

The interior of the building was very large, and there were many seats in the hall that was more than a thousand meters long. Men and women with fierce expressions were gathered together, looking at the holographic image floating above their heads from time to time.

This was the mercenary mission display system that was connected to the various fragment continents. It could display the missions issued by the client in real time. Wandering mercenaries would accept missions according to their own strength and travel back and forth between the various fragment continents.

This was a special world. From time to time, the shadow of high-tech items could be seen. People could even travel back and forth between the various fragment continents through transport s.h.i.+ps, but no one cared about the infrastructure and the lives of ordinary people. Many remote places were almost like the medieval times.

Tang Zhen walked to an empty table and asked for a portion of food from the six-armed attendant. After which, he quietly observed his surroundings and slowly gathered the information he needed.

A few minutes later, Tang Zhen locked onto a few men and women who were gathered together. Compared to the other wandering mercenaries, these people’s equipment was undoubtedly better. Their words and actions were also slightly different from the other wandering mercenaries.

He got the waiter to send a bottle of wine to the other party. When the other party noticed him, Tang Zhen smiled and walked over.
