Bohu County is a very peculiar city.
The entire city is built around Tianzhu Mountain, which is more than 6,500 meters above sea level.
Tianzhu Mountain is in the shape of a cone, with a circumference of about 50 kilometers at its lowest point. The city wall of Bohu County is built in a complete circle around Tianzhu Mountain, with a length of about 80 kilometers.
In the circular area between the city wall and Tianzhu Mountain, circles of circular streets, accompanied by dozens of radial streets, form the main body of Bohu County, where the residents of Bohu County live.
The entire mountain of Tianzhu Mountain has been hollowed out layer by layer. Some management departments, important basic factories, weapons production plants, and defense equipment are all located inside the mountain.
At the top of Tianzhu Mountain, covered with snow all year round, there is a huge seven-story iron tower. The dark body of the tower contrasts with the bright white of the snow.
This iron tower is actually the body of the "Kunlun" barrier in Bohu County.
The "Kunlun" barrier is the same as the "Jianmu" in Yaxi, supporting many tasks such as communication, defense, dispatching, identity recognition and so on within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Its quantum supercomputing core is the same level as the "Jianmu" .
Naturally, the residents within the city walls have imperial citizenship.
Unlike Yasi County, the Bohu County area was not attacked by nuclear bombs during the Great Annihilation, and the environment was relatively good. Most residents did not live underground. Only particularly important people lived inside Tianzhu Mountain.
However, outside the city wall, there is a circle of dilapidated, low, and poorly planned buildings, which are the residences of "nomads" who are not citizens of the empire.
The composition of the homeless people is very complex. Most of them are members of small tribes and small forces who did not join the Federation or be accepted by the Empire before and after the Great Annihilation.
During the Great Annihilation, the entire Gobi Desert in the northwest suffered relatively minor nuclear attacks, and there were quite a few remaining humans.
Therefore, in the end, in order to survive, these small tribes formed a city outside the city of Bohu County.
Another part of the homeless people are those who lost their citizenship due to various reasons in the empire and the federation and became hidden fugitives.
Of course, there are a small number of people whose identities cannot be revealed to the public.
All black market transactions, secret intelligence systems, chaotic gang disputes, and special behaviors not officially recognized, all these gray spaces constitute the various human conditions in the outer city of Bohu.
To put it simply, the outer city of Bohu County is a gray area that neither Dongtu nor Xixuan cares about.
Precisely because of the apparent indifference, in fact, the hidden lines of both parties penetrate and blend with each other here.
Therefore, the periphery of Bohu County has become the communication channel between the Eastern Earth World and the Western Xuan World.
As the investigator of special events in the Empire's Yasi County, Welling has certain query rights in the boundary system of Bohu County. This information was learned through the connection system when he just entered the city.
“What a chaotic and colorful place!”
Wei Ling opened his eyes, turned away from this information, and felt a little emotional about the outer city area.
He finally understood why he saw a team of different races from the East and West before entering the city.
Following the system's prompts, Shou Gong parked the flying vehicle at a large parking space between the residential area and the mountain in the inner ring of Bohu County.
This berth area is very large. Welling visually estimated that even the empire's top "Kua'e" vehicle can berth two ships.
The vehicle stopped steadily, and a small smart device was seen nearby, moving over to perform routine inspections and energy supplies for the bluebird.
This is the convenience provided by a powerful empire. All official vehicles naturally have preset programs to maintain and supply equipment in all aspects.
Welling and Shou Gong walked out of the parking lot and saw a middle-aged man in black uniform waiting at the exit before they even walked outside the berth.
As soon as they saw Wei Ling and the others, the middle-aged man came over immediately.
Welling took one look at his uniform and roughly recognized his identity.
This man is tall and thin, with a beard on his face. He seems to have non-Bactrian ethnic genes.
The most characteristic thing is that this person has a slight squint, so when communicating, his demeanor always seems a bit disdainful or arrogant:
"Hello you two, you must be Wei Ling and Shou Gong from Yaxi County. I received a system message and came to receive you two."
The "arrogant" man saw that Wei Ling and Gonggong both nodded with smiles, and continued to throw the bag:
"Let me introduce myself. I am Lu Te, a county lieutenant in Bohu County. I am in charge of civilian armed forces, public security, anti-theft, local intelligence and detection, etc.
You two are here on business. If you encounter any problems in this regard, you can consult me. If you encounter difficulties, you can also apply for assistance from armed forces and sergeants. "
"Thank you very much. Lord Laolute will come here in person. If necessary, I will definitely trouble you."
Wei Ling bowed slightly and saluted.
In fact, Wei Ling had already predicted the identity of this person just now. His clothes were the same as Yu Jin's, and he was both a county lieutenant.
"Okay, I can't inquire about your investigation. According to your authority level, the system has already arranged your temporary residence.
I will leave you my citizen number, and you can leave me a message at any time. By the way, please pay attention to safety outside the city walls. "
Welling nodded:
"Okay, Lord Lute, I will pay attention to safety. As far as you know, is there anyone in Bohu County who is particularly well-informed about unofficial news?"
Lute tilted his head and nodded:
"Well, it seems that you are an expert and know a lot about Bohu County. In terms of gossip in the entire Bohu County, Mi Meng in the outer city is the most knowledgeable."
When Lu Te spread the rumor, he lost a package, including the Mi Meng's appearance, identity, place of residence and other information.
Wei Ling and Shou Gong looked at each other in shock.
Isn't this the little man who was chased and beaten when he entered the city?
That guy looks unreliable no matter how you look at him.
"There is no problem for the time being. Thank you again for your care."
Seeing that Wei Ling and Shou Gong had no other requests, Lu Te also felt relaxed.
Along with a little smile, the sense of "pride and prejudice" caused by the squint becomes even stronger.
So the two parties bowed to each other and said goodbye.
Saying goodbye to Lute, Welling and Shugong walked towards the block below the berth.
“Let’s go shopping first, and then we have three things to do.
The first is to go to the homes of Ma Bo, Ma Lin and Ku Ma to understand the situation. The second is that although it is not sure whether Murong Langgan really went to Maiji County, it cannot be ruled out that he actually went to Bohu County.
This leads to the third thing, go find the well-informed Mi Meng. "
After receiving Wei Ling's arrangement, Shou Gong nodded slightly.
Her big, bright eyes exposed in her veil were observing the houses of Bohu County with great interest.
The market in Bohu County is completely different from the Patbon in Xixuan.
Although the neatness and beauty here are not as good as the second and third floors of Yaxi County City, because after all, Yaxi City is an industrial metal underground fortress.
But Bohu County has its own characteristics. It is equally neat and orderly. In this dry place all year round, a large number of green plants and flowers are still planted.
Welling also noticed that these green areas basically implement fully automatic root drip irrigation.
It is estimated that the water comes from Bo Lake. According to the law of plant growth, a drip irrigation system has been installed for the greening of the whole city.
With such facilities, the entire ring-shaped city looks very beautiful and has a more natural feel than Iasi.
The clothing of the soldiers and civilians on the street is roughly similar to that of Iasi. The imperial militia, sergeants, and warlocks all wear black uniforms, but the decorations are different.
The clothing of ordinary residents in Bohu County is more bright and colorful.
While walking around, Shou Gong and Wei Ling also bought some grilled fish and kebabs from Bohu, which were sprinkled with many herbal spices and were very distinctive.
The two of them didn't care about their appearance, and ate while walking. It looked like they were shopping, but in fact they were walking along the path closest to Kuma's house.
According to system information, Kuma's father died earlier and her mother lives alone in Bohu County.
When he was eighteen years old, he started serving as a reserve member of the militia regiment in Bohu County and stayed in the army, from the militia to the sergeant of the Kunlun Corps. Later, due to personal reasons, he was transferred to the Western Wasteland Corps in Yasi, and he was considered a professional veteran. A soldier.
It's just that this time, Kuma's behavior was a little too abnormal.
Since I went home to visit my mother, how could I lose contact with her?
After passing through several blocks and entering a slightly narrow alley, I saw the small courtyard recorded in the system.
Above the low stone wall, half a branch of a fruit tree covered with fiery red pomegranate flowers poked out.
The information automation in Bohu County is not as good as that in Yaxi. Such small courtyards and residences do not have access control systems installed and cannot provide system notifications.
After tapping the door catch on the wooden door a few times, I heard the faint sound of walking inside.
The door opened slightly, revealing the face of an old woman. She was obviously confused:
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
She used mind-body communication, which was not as stupid and backward as she imagined.
Wei Ling smiled slightly, while using his disease spell to detect the characteristics of various diseases in the old woman, he replied:
"Hello, old man, I am an investigator from the Empire's Yasi County, and I need your cooperation on something."
The elderly do have many common diseases among the elderly, but with the medical level of the empire, they are not serious problems. As long as you spare some time, even if Bohu County is a little behind, you can get good medical care in other counties in the empire, such as Iasi County. Treatment.
From this point of view, Kuma's claim that her mother was critically ill was obviously an excuse.
"Oh, Yasi County, my son Kuma is a sergeant in Yasi County. Did something happen to him?"
The old man was a little anxious and opened the door:
"Please come in, please come in. If there is anything that needs to be investigated, I will cooperate with you."
Wei Ling and Shou Gong looked at each other slightly and walked into the small courtyard.
