Sam and Gerry arrived at Xiata Town after they separated from Zhang Tie in Eskil City. After waiting in Xiata Town for a few days, the two of them teamed up with a large group of pioneers and arrived here.
The experience of the two people was not complicated. After arriving here, the two people and other pioneers began to try to enter the underground of the glacier crevices to try their luck in finding the city ruins. Through constant attempts and groping, the two people and their
The team members slowly figured out some of the underground conditions, so ten days ago, after some preparations, Sam and Gerry went underground with some other pioneers, and only came out today.
Although this ten-day exploration could not be said to have a narrow escape, we also encountered many dangers and twists and turns, both large and small, and everyone was tortured to the point of embarrassment.
What made everyone even more depressed was that after finally finding something underground, half of it was forcibly taken away when they returned to the surface. Facing the powerful force of the tribal alliance, they, the pioneers, had no choice at all.
Room for bargaining - either get killed and lose everything, or survive and hand over half of everything.
This is why Zhang Tie found them all dejected when he saw them just now.
"You actually harvested something from below, I wonder what it is?" Upon hearing that Sam and Gerry actually harvested something underground, Zhang Tie suddenly became interested. This interest did not come from greed, but from pure curiosity.
.
Hearing Zhang Tie's question, Sam and Gerry looked at each other, and neither of them hesitated. They took out something from the storage bag they carried with them and gave it to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie first took the thing from Sam's hand, and it was quite heavy. When he took it in his hand and took a closer look, he saw that it was a lifelike little deer made of metal. It was a handicraft. Although the surface was a little mottled, it was generally
It still retains the metallic luster and its shape is very complete.
According to current standards, this thing is about 900 to 1,000 years old. It is obviously a cultural relic before the Cataclysm. Before the Cataclysm, human technological civilization could do many things that cannot be done today, and produced many of these things.
Products that cannot be produced in this era, such as the metal plating process of the thing Zhang Tie is holding in his hand, are beyond the control of people of this era. Zhang Tie knew this as soon as he held the thing in his hand.
.
These things have a very high collection value in this era. Many wealthy people like to display a few cultural relics from before the cataclysm to decorate their homes.
With Zhang Tie's vision honed in the grocery store in Black Flame City, the thing that Sam took out would be worth at least 30 gold coins if placed in the grocery store. Of course, if it were packaged better, it could be moved to another place.
If you meet a collector who likes these things, the price of this thing may reach more than 70 gold coins or higher.
"Yes, this item has at least fully paid for your travel expenses to the ice and snow wasteland. There is still some leftover!" Zhang Tie nodded and returned the item to Sam.
Sam sighed sadly. "It was originally a pair, but those bastards from the tribal alliance took one away when they came out from below!"
Zhang Tie smiled and took Gerry's thing. Gerry's thing was a bit strange. It was about the size of a palm, and its surface was already rusty, but it was still clear that there were some digital buttons on the surface.
Zhang Tie doesn’t know what this thing is, but it is probably a product of human technology before the Cataclysm. The valuation of this cultural relic with a strong color of human technology and civilization before the Catastrophe fluctuates greatly, ranging from a few silver coins to thousands of gold coins.
There are many. These things involve too much professional knowledge and are relatively unpopular. Zhang Tie can’t tell how much they are worth.
After saying that it was good, Zhang Tie returned the thing in his hand to Gerry.
"By the way, Peter, why are you here and so close to those Slavs in the ice and snow wasteland?" At this time, Gerry had already discovered that there seemed to be a lot of pioneers around him and Zhang Tie. Many people
There are countless people surrounding this place in the distance. The situation seems a bit wrong. If they were watching the fun, those people should have left. But now, those people's eyes seem to be focused on Peter, one by one.
Seemingly a little afraid, he touched Sam quietly, and Sam also noticed.
Zhang Tie didn't care about the pioneers. Zhang Tie noticed the pioneers when they first started to surround him. However, out of confidence in his own strength, he acted very indifferently. This indifference was different from those of the pioneers.
In his eyes, there was a calm and outstanding temperament, and those people did not dare to approach easily.
"After I separated from you at the dock, I went to Eskil City. I met an enemy in the city, and I killed him. Then I was wanted by the Eskil City police station, and then I escaped.
In Eskil City, I was caught by a bounty hunter after wandering in the ice and snow wasteland for a while, so my current identity is actually someone else's prisoner and that...that...private property!" Zhang Tie caught me
He scratched his head and said, clearly explaining his current identity in two sentences.
It didn't matter if Zhang Tie didn't say it. When he said that, both Sam and Gerry's eyes widened. It wouldn't be surprising even if Zhang Tie said that he was the son-in-law of a Slav at this moment. With Zhang Tie's pretty face, it was still a big deal.
It was really possible, but what Zhang Tie told them - prisoners, made the two people shocked by Zhang Tie's answer.
"You said you are a prisoner of those Slavs now. Damn it, you can't. You are riding a saber-toothed beast, holding a beautiful woman, and there is a large group of bodyguards behind you. I think those Slav soldiers are still very kind to you.
Respect, is this the treatment of prisoners? If this is the treatment of prisoners, please ask them if they still need prisoners!" This guy Gerry yelled all of a sudden.
Sam, on the other hand, glanced at Zhang Tie with some embarrassment, and said in a tone full of envy, "The woman you were holding just now... is really... very beautiful, and has big breasts! Such a woman is even in Bingxue.
There aren’t many wastelands!”
"Yes. And I can tell at a glance that you two are definitely having an affair. Are Slavs accustomed to giving away their beauties to their captives?"
Looking at the shocked expressions of Sam and Gerry, Zhang Tie laughed and said, "Of course that's not the case. First, I am actually a bit special as a prisoner. I only killed one bastard in Eskilde City.
Now the wanted notice issued against me by Eskil City has me carrying three lives. The wanted notice was a bit misunderstood, and I took the blame for others. In fact, I am not as evil as the wanted notice said. Secondly, they
They probably found that I had some use value, so they were quite polite to me! I met that woman because of an accident. At that time, she didn’t know the identity of my prisoner. She later found out, but because of the first two reasons, it didn’t matter.
!”
Zhang Tie explained the reason succinctly, and Sam and Gerry finally understood. They couldn't help but marvel, Zhang Tie's series of encounters in the ice and snow wasteland can be regarded as adventures.
"By the way, what are you going to do now?" Sam asked Zhang Tie.
"I haven't thought about it yet. It's not bad to stay here anyway. Maybe I will stay here for a few more days, and then leave after the wanted order is lifted!" Zhang Tie thought about it seriously and said, "
What about you?"
"We plan to stay here for a while!" Gerry glanced at Sam, then moved his head closer to Zhang Tie, and looked around. He lowered his voice very low, "Sam and I
The remains discovered this time may be a huge treasure. A GSC."
Sam looked at Zhang Tie. When Gerry said this, Sam nodded solemnly.
GSC? This title made Zhang Tie stunned. Although he, a pioneer who became a monk on the way, could often imitate the pioneers very vividly, he was not a real pioneer. He did not understand some of the secret code words and inherited knowledge among the pioneers.
In fact, there were not as many senior pioneers as there were, so when Gerry said this word, Zhang Tie didn't react at all.
"What is GSC?" Zhang Tie asked Gerry in a low voice.
"Hasn't anyone told you about this kind of knowledge before?" Gerry glanced at Zhang Tie in surprise.
"No, I haven't been a pioneer for a long time, and I'm used to living alone, so I don't know much about many things!" Zhang Tie shook his head.
"Do you know about the Star of God?"
"Know!"
"The so-called GSC refers to the city where fragments of the Star of God fell during the cataclysm to preserve the fun. Because of the strange energy of the Star of God, wherever it falls, its fragments will form a strange space-time energy.
Field, in this energy field, all inanimate matter will remain the same no matter how long it takes, without leaving any traces of time. GSC means the super relic brought by the Star of God. Do you know what this means?
"?" Gerry said with twinkling eyes.
Zhang Tie was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what he just heard, because if this is the case, it means... it means that there may be something hidden somewhere underground in this snowy wasteland.
A city or a part of it that has been completely preserved before the Cataclysm. All the inanimate things in this city remain exactly as they were on the day of the Cataclysm.
"How did you come to this conclusion?"
"It was just a guess and a lucky hope at first, because this time the ruins found in the ice and snow wasteland were too close to the legendary location where the Star of God fragments were found. Although many Stars of God were found near the ruins before the cataclysm before,
There is a precedent for fragments, but those ruins were completely destroyed during the Cataclysm. Although the special energy field of the God Star fragments can prevent the things in those ruins from leaving traces of time, the ruins themselves have been damaged due to other reasons.
If it is severely damaged and destroyed, the value of the things in the ruins will not be too high!"
Zhang Tie nodded while listening. He remembered that he had just arrived in Ewendalla and heard the reaction of the pioneers when they discovered the ruins and the Star of God in the Wilderness House bar. He then contacted the tribal alliance and suddenly went to war to destroy the ruins.
The action of blocking the entrance suddenly seemed to understand something. The pioneers were excited for a faint hope. As for the tribes in the southern part of the ice and snow wasteland, some big figures in these tribes may have learned about it from certain channels.
Some information, so I suddenly became jealous, and suddenly went to war and sent troops to seize the entrance to the ruins - one or part of the ruins of the city before the cataclysm that can be completely preserved. Its value may be higher than ordinary
The ruins are more than ten times bigger. For an ordinary ruins, the big guys in the tribe may look down on such a small amount of money, but if there is a possibility of a GSC here, then everything will be different. No one will look down on them.
Lots of money.
Seeing Zhang Tie deep in thought, Sam quietly put a small ball of something hidden in his sleeve into Zhang Tie's hand.
Zhang Tie looked at the thing. It was just a piece of garbage, but its material was a bit strange. It looked like paper but also looked a bit like the material he had seen before in the Norman Empire to make his military officer's ID card. It was red.
It felt very flexible in his hand, and seemed to be the packaging of something, but he was a little unsure.
"What's this?"
"The wrapping paper of ham sausage, the wrapping paper of ham sausage before the Cataclysm. This kind of paper was called plastic before the Catastrophe. Such wrapping paper, if it were not in the special energy field of the Star of God, would have experienced such a long period of time.
Time, it cannot be so well preserved, and, more importantly, the contents of this wrapping paper seem to have been eaten by someone, which Sam found in a hidden corner underground four days ago!"
"Did you find this thing underground?" Zhang Tie's expression became solemn.
"Yes, we don't know who threw this thing, but it is obvious that someone has discovered something underground, and the preservation of those things is definitely beyond most people's imagination. The guy who threw this thing,
It may be that a pioneer wanted to come out from below, but because he ran out of food, he had to take out the food he got below and eat it! At this time, the guy who left this thing behind,
Either he has made a fortune and traveled far away with the most valuable thing he found, completely away from this place of right and wrong, or he is still somewhere here preparing to come again for the second time! Or it is also possible that he was killed by someone else.
Got it!"
"You want to have a fight?"
"This kind of opportunity is what every pioneer dreams of. How can you be willing to do it if you don't win it once!"
"Peter, let's do it together!"
"Sem and I both remembered the underground passage where this thing was found. As long as we prepare here for a few more days and explore along that underground passage, we will definitely gain something!"
"Wait for me to think about it, okay? My current identity is a bit sensitive. If I want to act alone, it may bring some unpredictable dangers and troubles to you two!" Zhang Tie thought about it carefully and did not immediately agree to the two of them.
, but did not refuse. What attracted Zhang Tie at this time was not so much the wealth in the ruins, but the GSC, which might still have intact the appearance of the city before the cataclysm, the super ruins created by the Star of God.
.
…
After chatting with the two people for a while, telling them some things they should pay attention to at this time, and promising to give them some necessary help, Zhang Tie was ready to get up and leave.
Seeing Zhang Tie about to leave, the group of pioneers who had been surrounding him in the distance made a slight commotion. A pioneer in his sixties, surrounded by several people, walked towards Zhang Tie from the crowd.
"Mr. Peter, I am very grateful for everything you did that day. You saved many people's lives. Because of you, many of our companions did not shed their blood and sacrifice in vain!" The elderly pioneer gave Zhang Tie a pioneering speech.
Etiquette used to show respect - cross hands and shoulders, bow slightly.
"You're welcome!" Zhang Tie nodded.
While the two were talking, seeing all the pioneers around Ao becoming quiet, Zhang Tie knew that the old man must have something to say to him.
"I heard that you are also a pioneer?"
"Not bad! If you have anything to say, just say it..."
The elderly pioneer looked around, then gritted his teeth, "After just discussing with the leaders of the various pioneers, we have an unkind request. We would like to ask Mr. Peter to be the leader of all the people gathered in the ruins at the moment.
The general leader of all the pioneers in the canyon! Lead us to complete the excavation of the ruins."
Pioneers are a relatively loose organization, but many pioneers in this organization will automatically group together to form some temporary pioneer teams that gather for certain goals. The leader of the team is the team leader. Because
Usually used to being loose, once the pioneers gather together, they will pay great attention to the group's mobility and the leader's authority. This gives the team leader great authority in these temporarily formed teams. This kind of authority has already
As powerful as the leaders of many paramilitary organizations.
When the army of the tribal alliance expelled these pioneers, it was the pioneers led by several team leaders who fought against the army of the tribal alliance. In this process, the personal will of those team leaders played a big role.
.
The general leader of these pioneers? Zhang Tie did not expect that these pioneers would actually make this request to him, which surprised Zhang Tie.
You must know that in addition to having great power, the general leader of a pioneer team also has 3% of the distribution rights of the wealth discovered by the entire team. Look at the seven or eight thousand pioneers gathered in the ruins canyon. This 3%
The amount of wealth distribution and the power of the general leader are not small.
"Have you thought about it?" Zhang Tie asked with a smile. Of course he knew what these people were thinking. Until now, Zhang Tie has never found any bastard spirit in himself. Such a good thing,
Generally speaking, there will be no share for him.
The old man nodded along with several people around him.
"Okay, I accept it!"
Smiles just appeared on the faces of several people, and Zhang Tie's next words made their smiles freeze on their faces.
"The first order I give now is for everyone to squat down with their heads in their hands and imitate the frog's jumps a hundred times!"
Looking at the dull expressions and motionless looks of those people, Zhang Tie sighed, and the wise gleam in his eyes almost made those people dare not look directly at him, "So, in fact, you haven't thought about it, right? The tribal alliance is starting to fight with you.
The conditions offered will not change just because of me!"
After saying this, Zhang Tie didn't say anything else and left the pioneer camp directly.
…
Zhang Tie had been thinking about the underground ruins all the way. He had just returned to the Gray Eagle Tribe, and Aurora's first words when he saw him made Zhang Tie realize that he actually didn't need to think about anything.
"You've been living quite a life these days!" Aurora sneered, her voice hard, "But don't forget, you are my private property and you have to obey my orders. I will now officially inform you to prepare.
,Enter the entrance of the underground ruins with me tomorrow!"
