By the time night falls, when the cold suddenly sets in, everyone knows the moment they've been waiting for has arrived. I don’t know who started it first and picked up his weapon first, and then the third and fourth people walked out of here in a tacit understanding.
Their directions may not be the same, because everyone has their own path, but their final destination is actually the same, that is, they still have the courage or the confidence to drive forward in this kind of war. It is a trading market at night.
As a captain who seeks stability, he is not the first to leave in the hall. Likewise, he is not the kind of maintainer who delays leaving until the last and safest time. He just followed his own rhythm and felt that he should leave at this time, so he left.
The torches of these people who have a good understanding of each other are lit and stretch into this quiet path.
At this time, perhaps the hall was chatting and laughing, and the captains who knew each other had shed their overly enthusiastic personalities and became the majority in silence. They walked here quietly, trying their best to reduce their presence, hiding their respective figures in an ugly manner among the vast crowds gathered from all directions, becoming the most common members of the black market.
Then, a wall that was not particularly small for everyone suddenly appeared in front of everyone. This is a temporary wall built by the city defense army to resist the rebels.
Behind this wall is a stable and ordinary residential area, which is also the most basic protection area for the people in the entire base. According to what was behind this wall, there should be ruins, war and chaos.
There are many defenseless houses there, and there may still be resisters and ordinary people behind the broken walls. But in terms of a peaceful and protected and patrolled area, the group of people who were excluded from the wall were actually equivalent to the part that was abandoned before the riot started.
The most impressive thing is that this black market is set up on the opposite side of the wall. That is to say, stable and safe people like them need to cross the wall to purchase supplies on the other side where the turmoil breaks out.
At this moment, several people actually realized that the most restless things in the edge areas were actually where the warehouses of their teams were stored.
Before the cold winter comes, most teams will probably empty their warehouses in an attempt to exchange for the most useful emergency relief items. But the same materials that cannot be processed at once or are of no great use during the cold winter period will be locked up in this part of the warehouse as they are. Wait until the cold winter period is over or the ban is lifted and the base is stabilized, then return to your warehouse to get it.
Now, in a chaotic or occupied area, what will be the fate of their warehouses? Many people know what it will be like without even thinking about it. Seeing that the wall of the black market is blocked here, what else can't you understand?
This also explains why there are all kinds of things in the black market. It explains the origin of these things and also tells everyone that it is better to hide the precious things you want to buy cheaply for a short time.
But these people who went to the black market from safe areas could definitely think clearly, but no one raised any objections to this. Everyone walked behind the wall like no one else. The moment they entered, Mai Fan and his captain put a batch of thick cloaks made of animal skins on his head as agreed in the first place. .
Behind the wall, Mai Fan thought of countless possibilities, but he really never thought that after turning around the wall, what he was dealing with was not just discarded objects or ruins burned by war. There were still needs on that side of the wall. A preliminary identification of entering the black market.
The area identified was as clean and empty as a beautiful square. In this square, there is only a pair of unknown identities that control the army here.
Yes, Mai Fan felt the aura of the regular army from them. It was because of this feeling that Mai Fan, who came here for the first time, was shocked again. To be able to open a black market with a mixed bag of good and bad people here and still need to be strong. Methods maintain the rules here. Is it impossible for a rebel army to do this like a lunatic who kills people when they see them and robs things when they see them?
So in fact, the direct controller of the black market in a chaotic area is and can only be the official. And what is popular in the black market? In fact, the relationship and significance with the official is not very big. What they want is the control here and the rights of the source of information.
Everyone who enters here will leave a certain fee for entering the market. This fee is equivalent to buying money and can guarantee some very basic personal safety in this trading area for a very short period of time.
This is a rare thing for a black market. As long as you don't cause a large-scale search and participate in bloody massacres in this area, everything you do here will be allowed by the tacit rules of the holding army.
The materials you sell and the things in your hands will be smoothly realized in this market. What news do you want to know? Want to know something? As long as you can afford it, you can buy it.
As for whether there are desperadoes inside? Then we need to wait until everything is over before settling the accounts. The current official is using the black market as a means to leverage the beginning of peace. To gather intelligence in this most chaotic area, it is necessary to have control over it.
When the city gates in the cold winter period are officially opened, the reckoning will begin, and it will also be the starting point for the army to re-energize. Although the Ninth Base is a very ordinary base, the true ruling level survival wisdom of this base can be seen from it.
They may be mediocre players who were transferred or promoted from other bases to manage this base, but they are surprisingly suitable for the steady operation of this new base.
In the comparison of several Tianjiao bases, people often overlook the stable Ninth Base. However, in this cold winter period, several major events happened in succession, and even the entire base would have almost been unable to survive if it had not relied on foreign aid. Comparing these sharp pioneer cities, no one would find that the performance of the Ninth Base during this cold winter period, or for such a long period of cold winter, was so stable and outstanding.
All small-scale disturbances here are kept under control.
