After packing up their things and eating some dry food, the four of them left the Black Eagle Regiment's camp and ran hundreds of kilometers overnight. At dawn, we stopped to rest for three hours, then continued our journey, finally arriving at Duck Town in the evening of the next day.
There is a rusty iron sign hanging on the gate of the town, with a line of words written in white paint: "Welcome to the oasis in the journey to Dake Town."
Duck Town is a "post town". Unlike edge towns like Orchid Town, its location is relatively safe and there are not many dangerous creatures around it. Its main function is to provide food and accommodation for passing travelers and businessmen, so it is not large in scale. .
In addition, Yi Town also has another function, which is to provide a residence for "quasi-citizens". The rules set by the Human Survival Committee are relatively fair. Citizens may become refugees due to crimes or breach of trust, and refugees may also obtain citizenship for good behavior.
Quasi-citizens refer to refugees who have long-term jobs, stable income, and basically no criminal records, and are about to be accepted into mainstream society. In addition, those with special skills or special contributions, like Xianluobo, can directly apply for citizenship.
Driving into town, I saw it all in one glance. There is only one street in the town, which cannot even be called a street. It is just a small square with a fountain. The bricks on the ground are old and severely cracked, which is better than the mud floor. Not to mention the fountain, half of the statue in the middle is missing, and it is overgrown with weeds and moss, making it impossible to tell what it originally was.
On the periphery of the small square are five or six bars, where several children are playing and chasing each other. When I saw Chen Xing and the others, I ran over and asked them if they wanted to see the car.
This type is called "car-watching boys", which are children who help guard the cars of passing passengers in exchange for pocket money. If someone came to steal a car or something, they would immediately run into the bar and report it to the owner.
"Sir, the car we are looking at has never been stolen." "We are the Lifu brothers, the best watchers in Duck Town." Two dirty boys said.
Chen Xing parked the car, took out five or six copper coins from his pocket, threw them to the two little boys, and then said, "Work hard, and you will be rewarded later."
Although there are a large number of firearms on the car, this is inside a town, and basic safety can still be guaranteed. Looking around, several fully armed guards were patrolling. Just imagine, if accidents happen frequently, who would dare to come here to rest and if things continue like this, the whole town will be ruined. Therefore, the public security in Yi towns is usually better than that in edge towns. Of course, the security of Edge Town is related to the income of the mayor, and crimes cannot be committed casually.
"Thank you sir, you are such a good man." The older boy said sweetly.
Afterwards, the four of them entered a bar called "The Big Pumpkin" and chose a seat near the window. There is no other reason. From here, you can see their vehicles. After all, there are thousands of gold coins in the car, so there is no room for loss.
It's seven o'clock in the evening, and there are many people eating in the bar. However, compared to Edge Town, the popularity is still a bit low, with only half of the tables filled.
Chen Xing ordered a piece of macaroni with meat sauce, a plate of fruit salad, and a glass of cherry wine. He had been eating solid food these days and felt his stomach was about to cramp. The other three also ordered a lot of things, and Cassie even ordered a piece of "Overlord Beef"
Overlord beef is a dish that is large and full of wilderness and ruggedness. Roast a whole piece of beef, about four or five kilograms, over a firewood and then serve it. The outside was burnt, but the inside was still bleeding when cut open.
Arqiao Mu seemed to have forgotten the tragic experience last night. He had a good appetite and ate a whole roasted lamb leg.
After eating and drinking, the four of them gathered around the small table, drinking ale and discussing the next thing.
"Find a room where you can see the cars outside and take turns guarding it tonight."
"Tomorrow Cassie and I will go to the back alley to see if there is anyone suitable to sell some of the goods."
"Danny will stay and guard the vehicle. Aqiaomu will go buy some military rations and come back. Preferably from Nakamura Foods, but also from Eastern Continental Company. The compressed biscuits are too unpalatable."
It was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was Chen Xing who was speaking alone and the other three people were listening.
"Where's the caravan?" Cassie reminded. He and Chen Xing are both refugees and must rely on the caravan's guarantee to enter Crow City.
Since the refugees themselves have no social credit and no corresponding assets, the cost of committing a crime is too small. Someone must bear joint liability to minimize the crime rate.
It has to be said that in the satellite signal coverage area, the crime rate is very low. The existence of a black watch is equivalent to having a 24-hour, 360-degree body-worn camera that records every move, word and deed of the person involved.
Although the system will not interfere with people's behavior and will protect personal privacy to the greatest extent, law enforcement can easily obtain the crime video through the cooperation of the victim, or even if the victim is dead, and use it as a submission. Testify in court.
Under systematic surveillance, criminals are almost invisible.
"Don't worry about this, we will observe slowly." Chen Xing said.
You must be careful when choosing a caravan, because it is a double-edged sword with restrictions on each other. In addition, without the introduction of acquaintances, the initial trust of both parties is zero, and it is not that easy to establish a cooperative relationship. When he was in Beauty Town, he quickly gained the trust of the Fatty Leader because he was introduced by the bar owner, and the bar owner was introduced by Lao Gou, so he had a foundation of trust.
But here is a post town, with a large flow of people. People come from all over the place, and they don’t know where they are. If we cooperate, God knows who will trick whom.
Another point is that they are mercenaries, wolves of the wilderness, combat units, while caravans are mules, transport units. To put it bluntly, mules are afraid of being eaten by wolves. In the wilderness, there is often only a thin layer of paper between mercenaries and robbers.
Just like the Black Eagle Regiment, it's okay to say they are mercenaries, and it's okay to say they are bandits.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xing looked at A Qiaomu and Danny and asked, "How is your social credit?"
In addition to caravan guarantees, personal guarantees can also be made, but the social credit must reach the "excellent" level, and the number of people is limited and cannot exceed three.
Danny smiled sheepishly, lifted up his sleeves, revealed the black watch on his wrist and said, "I bought it for two gold coins, a high imitation."
"Yeah" Cassie gestured to Danny with a pistol, and then the two high-fived each other.
A Qiaomu didn't say anything, he directly opened the black watch screen and stretched out his hand to show Chen Xing.

After reading the information, Chen Xing scratched his hair in disappointment. Social credibility is at a freezing point, and we are just one step away from becoming a refugee. Let alone being a guarantor, he does not even have the rights of a normal citizen.
However, Aqiaomu's strength is very good, and he is actually called "Scorpion Wanderer", which is the title of the elite warrior of the Yellow Kingdom. Correspondingly, those of the Red Kingdom are "Dragon Warriors" and those of the Qing Kingdom are "Sacred Mountain Guards".
Then, that innate ability of "extraordinary endurance" may be the secret to her ability to maintain her physical strength last night.
