Chapter 490 Mobstone Market

The military boots struggled to pull out of the knee-free snowdrift, and then fell forward, plunged deep in the snowdrift, performing mechanical and endless repetitive movements.

Zero looks ahead from afar.

In front of us is the wind and snow. At this moment when the ice and snow have melted in the east, there is still a cold wind roaring and ice and snow in the western tundra. Looking around, there was a scene wrapped in silver makeup, and even the woods were covered with a layer of silver frost, and there was no green at all. Yes, there is only endless cold, and there is a line of white!

Looking behind, the team dragged the elder. In the silver snow, people become black spots. The black dot line is not neat, twisting around, as if it will blow away the wind and snow at any time.

It has been three days since I met Adi Mili.

For three days, they went down the mountain and traveled all the way west under the guidance of Ademili. After going downhill, the originally towering mountains quickly sank into this endless snowfield like an ice knife inserted diagonally into the earth. There was only a faint black trace left in the forest in the distance, and most of the trees were submerged in the vast snowfield. Occasionally, several old-era electric towers suddenly appear on the snow, and their leeward side is already covered with snow. The steel bracket was overwhelmed and bent by the snow. The iron structure has been very fragile by the low temperature of all year round, and it will be broken and collapsed by snow at any time.

It can be said that after entering the snowfield, zero talents have really set foot on the land of the west tundra. The environment here is harsh and more difficult than anyone can imagine, and it will be very difficult for animals and humans to survive in this environment. As a standard soldier, Ryan's face has not been relaxed since he stepped into the snowfield. The aliens who can still take root in such a bad situation must be frighteningly determined.

In three days, more than ten servants have forever become ice sculptures on the snowfield. The harsh climate and environment make these incompetent soldiers completely unbearable, and with the deepening of the snowfield, a small number of soldiers have suffered frostbite to varying degrees. The cold weather and the presence of a lot of radiation snow have turned the walkers into a tough competition.

The competition between death!

"Our soldiers won't support it for long. For God's sake, tell me how long it will take to get to the damn Mobiston market?" Rennes pushed away several fishman warriors and went straight to Adimyli, who was regarded as a goddess by the Gegna people, and asked loudly.

Adi Miri stretched out her arm straight in the canopy and pointed in a certain direction to the west: "Continue to move forward, converted into human units of measurement. About 120 kilometers away, we will see Zambis. There is a hidden tunnel that has been left over from the old times. Through the tunnel, we can reach the Mobiston Market, where Mount Zambis blocks the cold wind and ice, and we can rest there.

"Okay, 120 kilometers!" Rennes retreated and shouted at the soldiers behind him, "Do you hear me, boys? There are still more than 100 kilometers left, hold on to it. When we get to the market, we will have wine and meat. Tell me, can you still support it?"

"Can!" The servants shouted and looked excited.

"He seems to be too excited. Did he forget that our dear fishman friend said that the Mobstone market is far from a friendly place, especially for us human beings. Starley walked beside Zero and whispered, shaking the bottle to zero, "What do you want?"

Zero was rude and took a sip of Staley's bottle. Starley was both distressed and happy. After finally putting down the bottle, Starley quickly grabbed it and took a big sip of himself.

The spicy ** flows into the body through the esophagus, and all the heat in the wine is absorbed by the zero body, and then converted into replenishing the body's energy. During the whole transformation process, the loss of energy is basically controlled at less than 1%. If Zero's body is regarded as an energy converter, it is definitely the most efficient machine.

Experience the process of converting spirits into energy, and Ling remembered the words that Ademili described to them about the Mobiston market before departure.

It's a market, an alien market.

The high-level creatures living in the western tundra somehow discovered this old-era town that survived in the Zambis Mountains. At that time, there was no Mobistong market, and the name of the market was later. This town, which blocked the wind and snow, was originally only used as a resting place for foreigners passing by near Zambis Mountain.

But later, some aliens simply lived in the town and got something. From rare mute beasts to all kinds of information and information, over time, it has formed an inter-ethnic market. Of course, occasionally there will be human adventurers. It's just that there are few human beings in the west, so there are basically no human beings in the Mobiston market.

If human beings appear, it is either an adventure merchant or a wilderness exile who is captured by aliens as slaves or food*.

Unlike humans, the Mobistong Market has a management class such as mayors or committees. There are no rules for fairs composed of different races, and it is very common to denounce force without saying a word.

That's a real impossible place.

Adeemili chose to pass through this place, on the one hand, to rest halfway, and on the other to meet the lost Baltimore. When they were attacked by Betsy and Pederfani, the site of the attack was already near Mount Zambis. Therefore, as long as Baltimore is not dead, it will wait for Ademile in the market as previously agreed. Of course, Adimyli did not mention this second reason to anyone else, except zero.

Out of racial exclusion, human beings are almost all alien natural enemies. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that human beings, especially fully armed soldiers like Zero, are not welcome in the Mobiston market.

So in the evening, more than 100 kilometers after walking, when Adimile took the crowd to a tunnel left by the old era, a dispute broke out.

Ren blushed and roared like an angry lion at Amili: "What? Do you want my soldiers to stay in the tunnel? This is impossible. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I refuse!"

Or worried about the safety of Adimili, several strong fishman warriors guarded it and clenched the hilt of the epee to prevent Rennes from suddenly from injuring people.

Adimili said calmly in human language: "I have already said the reason that Mobstone is not a human city. If you see so many human beings at once, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. So I would like to ask you to leave the soldiers here, and Mr. Rennes and the captains will follow me into the market to buy supplies to supplement the journey.

Rennes wanted to say something else, but Zero stopped him and said, "Captain Rennes, don't forget our mission. What's more, Mobstone is the information hub of the entire western tundra. If something happens here, it is unclear to tell other aliens about our existence. Maybe you have the bravery to kill Gegna all the way, but I won't be with you."

Wreen was speechless for a long time, and his momentum was weak. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Then I won't go in either. Let's leave the purchase of supplies to you and Captain Staley."

After Rennes left, the fishman warriors lifted their guard. Adimyli nodded to zero and thanked him for his relief. Next is the deployment of personnel, and the servants of the three teams have been left. In addition to Stali and Zero, there are also Su, Feng and Leah to go to the market. Others, including Brown, Berien and Ye Liu, also stayed in the tunnel to avoid the excessive number of people entering the market and attracting the attention of aliens.

So when the remaining servants began to build march tents, Adimili and a few people went deeper along the tunnel. At the exit of the tunnel, you can still hear the wind and feel chill. But the deeper you go into the tunnel, the wind stops and the chill gradually fades away. A few people turned on tactical lights to illuminate the dark tunnel. In the old days, this tunnel was probably passed by by a train, passing through the front end covered by wind and snow, and walking further into the tunnel, and the tracks on the ground were clearly visible.

After ten minutes' walk, the exit is in sight. Walking out from the exit, there is a hillside. The hillside rocks** are dry and free of snow, not even long grass. The hillside extends down and extends into the old-fashioned town under the hillside.

Mobistong Market is located in a narrow depression. From a distance, the town where the market is located has only two main streets, east and west. East Street is facing the downhill, which is the entrance to the town. It was the first to pass through an open parking lot. Of course, no intact cars can be seen now, but only the wreckage of the car and other debris, which looks more like a garbage dump. Further ahead is an abandoned factory, and the dilapidated factory buildings and broken chimneys still retain the colors of the old times, but that's all.

It is followed by rows of shops, including grocery stores, gas stations, and even a bowling alley that still retains its original appearance. This makes Zero feel incredible. After so many years occupied by aliens, the town still remains like the old times.

However, this is also relative to East Street. As for the other street, it is a residential area of the town, which looks like wide houses surrounded by terraces and long lawns. In the distance, there is also a school that I don't know whether it is a middle school or a high school, and there are many small houses scattered in a mess, and some strange buildings with unknown purposes, surrounded by towering barbed wire.

The buildings on South Street show transformation and traces everywhere, or there are different living habits, so the appearance of the houses is different, and there is no planning at all. From the hillside, it looks like a strange abstract painting, which is so incompatible with the old-fashioned architectural style on East Street.

At dusk, the wind and snow have stopped. The sky is dyed with orange and bright red colors, and the contrast is strong and gradually spreading. The light fell from the sky, dragging the figures of a group of outsiders on the ground.

"Let's go." Adimil whispered and took the lead in walking downhill.

Zero and others mixed with the fishman warriors. They wore various styles of cloaks with the Gegna people, and wrapped their faces tightly with hoods and scarves, revealing only a pair of eyes. There are not a few humanoid life in different races, as long as the human face is not exposed, plus the smell of the Gegna people as a cover. If there is no accident, the identity of zero people will not be exposed.

As we walked towards the market, the noise in the market gradually came to everyone's ears. At the moment when night began to fall, the town had already lit up with various colors of light. From the most primitive firelight to the energy halo emitted by high-energy crystals, coupled with all kinds of strange life in the town, it gives people a strange feeling.

This place is chaotic, disorderly and irregular. The market is full of a large number of strange lives that human beings have seen and heard. In these alien lives, there are hermaphrodite, some look like overlord snails, but there are other creatures living in their thick shells, some are as small as fairy tales, and some are as huge as houses.

There are timid, cowardly, violent, irritable... All kinds of appearance and temperament are haunted in every corner of the market. They occupy the stores of human beings in the old era, and some of them sell some strange goods on the street. When he was in a bar-like building, a mantis man suddenly threw it out and fell awkwardly in front of Zero and others. Then the door of the store slammed open, and a human-like life with a rhinoceros head waved an iron fist in his hand and sent a series of unclear syllables to the mantis man, as if warning them something.

The mantis man got up from the ground with his head down, and a pair of double eyes on his head looked at Adimile. Then he took a breath as if he had found something, spread a pair of green wings behind him, turned into a cyan track and flew into the night sky and quickly disappeared under the eyes of everyone.

After the mantis left, the rhinoceros looked deeply at Adimile. But as if he didn't realize it, he turned around and walked into the bar and closed the door hard. Adimili gestured and asked everyone to continue to move forward. At this moment, the East Street is crowded, and strange lives pass by all the time. Zero people can only lower their heads and try not to attract the attention of these lives.

After walking for a moment, Leah suddenly pulled the corner of her robe and said, "Look, it's a human."

Zero looked up and saw that the entrance of an alley was surrounded by all kinds of strange life. Several naked people were surrounded by different lives, several men and a woman. These people withered and had more or less scars on their bodies, which seemed to be caused by whipping. Standing in front of these human beings is a life that looks like an octopus.

From time to time, the octopus man swept a human body with his long tentacles, leaving a bloody scar, which made Leah stand to look away.
