Chapter 90 Sand City
Xu An did not come forward to explain, she just stood quietly aside.
"I know! She has food herself, so she doesn't have to eat our food, just find her a place to live!"
Xu An looked at the dispute between the two in front of him quietly, stood aside silently, saying something that she had received the favor of Hawule now, if it were her, she would never have taken in one.
People of unknown origin, no matter what their identity is.
She suffered such a loss in her previous life.
But later, Xu An learned why Hawule chose to go against the opposition and brought her into the sand castle. There was no other reason. Hawule was a border warrior. For him, everyone belonged to China.
Of course, the people can save one within their ability, even one.
On the other side, Hawule didn't know what agreement he had reached with the man, so he walked towards Xu An, took off his face and was a little honest.
"They agreed that you went in, but you need to pay some entry fee, not a lot, just a pound of rice. If you don't bring rice, you can also use other items to pay, but it can only be food...
.This is the lowest price I can get..." He scratched his head embarrassedly, and the more he spoke, the less the voice became, as if he was a little ashamed.
Xu An didn't care. Even in his previous life, he would not have such a low price for "entry to the city". It can be seen that what Hawule said is the truth.
"I didn't bring the rice, can I compress the cookies? I can use four."
"Yes, yes, just give me three, don't worry, these three cookies will never be given for free. In this desert, there are monsters appearing at night. If you live in the city, you can protect you
of!"
This is also the reason why Hawule insisted on bringing Xu An back.
There is no way to survive in the desert alone, let alone, since the end of the world, some monsters seem to have awakened in this desert, and they appear specifically at night, and many people have been killed.
"Monster?" Xu An took out the cookies from his backpack, handed them to Hawule, and asked, "What monster?"
"We have never seen the monster look like it, but it should be similar to snakes. We found traces of crawling in the desert, but the traces are even larger than the size of a giant python."
"We had a vanguard expedition team, a group of ten people, all died in the Gobi Desert several kilometers away, and none of them came back. When we searched for it, only the wreckage was left."
"In the desert, after a person dies, the bones cannot weather so quickly, they can only be eaten by monsters."
After Hawule finished speaking, he took the compressed biscuits given by Xu An and walked towards the man in the door, and did not forget to whisper to Xu An.
"Inside, be sure to take care of your food... I can't help you too much after entering."
Listening to Hawule's reminder, Xu An nodded and said that he knew.
"For you, she used compressed cookies to hold it."
The man looked at the biscuits in Hawule's hand, with a little greed hidden in his eyes, and his white tongue licked his long-dehydrated chapped lips, "Is that just that? Does that woman have much inventory?"
The man received a warning look from Hawule, "Don't make any decisions about her. If you have paid the money for entering the city, you will be blessed by the Sand City and put away your little thoughts!"
The man curled his lips disdainfully. Although Hawule is indeed capable and is still the "captain" of their team in name, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the so-called "captain" does thankless work because no one does it.
That's why this chore fell on Hawule.
Xu An listened to the man not far away speaking quickly and spoke a string of dialects with a bad expression. Especially the man who opened the door glanced at her from time to time. She couldn't understand what they were saying. It should be their local ethnic group.
language.
After completing the procedures for entering the city, Xu An followed them in. Over the city, there was a large black net woven with unknown materials, covering the entire sand city, which avoided the invasion of wind and sand, and also blocked the scorching sun.
The scorching air is filled with all kinds of pungent and unpleasant smells.
On both sides of the sand city, several open-air shanty towns were built, and on the sandy land, countless dilapidated straw mats were placed, with more than a dozen people scattered on them, and the mosquitoes as big as thumbs were in the people.
The sky above their heads kept hovering and flying, making them turn over and sleep uneasy.
When I saw someone entering the city, the crowd lying on the straw mat suddenly turned over, his eyes full of stare, but after seeing that it was Hawule and his group, he felt a little scared.
Several people cursed, spitted at the side, and lay down again.
Xu An observed that the group ahead was moving forward very quickly and he was not squinting, so almost no one paid attention to the crowd lying around him.
"This is an outer city, you don't have to worry about them. This group of people are all marginal figures in the sand city, and they are specially robbed by single people."
"Don't anyone care about you?"
Hawule shook his head helplessly, "I can't control it. No one can obey the command in this area, and there is no order. They all rely on their strength to speak. Whoever has a gun and a strong fist will have a greater say."
Xu An looked at the machine gun in Hawule's arms, probably because no one came to rob.
However, Xu An did not expect that there would be such a refuge that had no one to do.
In the last life, even the smallest refuge must have an existence similar to the leader. They will set rules and establish order for the refuge.
It is the same as what is done on the lighthouse, except that the pattern on the lighthouse is still towards the reconstruction of a country, while those small refuges are more likely to be in captivity.
Walking fast, Xu An looked forward, and there was a row of short buildings built in a semicircular stone brick arch. Although it was still dilapidated, compared with the open-air shanty towns outside, at least there was
A place to shelter from the wind and rain.
But just as they were about to pass through the arch, a hoarse crying sound came from behind Xu An.
"Sister...Sister..."
Xu An looked back and saw a young girl with greasy hair wearing a black long skirt standing in front of her. Although she looked cowardly, her eyes were staring firmly at the package behind Xu An.
.
This kind of look is not unfamiliar to her.
Sure enough, the next second, the woman expressed her purpose, "Sister, can you help me? I haven't eaten for three days, just give me a bite! I'm willing to do whatever you ask me to do.
.....”
"No!" Xu An refused without waiting for the other party to finish his words.
"Please, sister, I'll kneel down for you. As long as you feel pity for me... Give me a bite..."
The girl said that, she wanted to kneel down for Xu An.
Xu An turned sideways and avoided the girl's move to kneel down. She has seen such tricks in her previous life. In order to eat in one bite, not to mention kneeling down, many people are willing to sell their bodies.
If you kneel down, you can get something for a bite. I guess many people are willing to kneel down. After all, in front of food, what is dignity?
Besides, she looked at the girl's slightly bent body in front of her but did not have the posture of kneeling down. She was not willing to make a full set of tricks?
Xu An sneered, and his face, which was hidden under the face of the snail, was covered in cold weather.
"I've knelt down for you, what else do you want?"
Seeing Xu An indifferent, the girl gritted her teeth, and with a "thump" sound, she knelt down straight down, stirring up a piece of dust.
"What does it have to do with me if you kneel down? I'm forcing you?"
After saying that, Xu An had a cold face and ignored the girl's expression that she wanted to tear her apart. She turned around and looked at the people beside her, "Are you leaving yet? Or are you willing to give this poor girl a bite?
”
The man who received the money from the city looked at Xu An with interest, walked forward strode forward, and directly ignored the girl.
