After passing this iron gate, you still have to walk a little further in, and there will be a dim light illuminating every ten meters. The rest of the place is only dark, and some broken light bulbs will also emit flashes of light. The passage looks a bit weird and scary.
"We can't make a mistake, right? Is this the entrance to the black market?"
After walking for so long, Xiao Jinzi was a little confused.
Just as Ma Tao was about to speak, his eyes lit up, and then he showed a smile and said, "Don't worry, I think we are not far from the exit."
The reason why I say this is because a big number 7 appeared in front of everyone. It was sprayed directly on the wall with white spray paint. It is about one meter long and wide. I think the passage that my group of people pass is No. 7. At the entrance and exit, maybe because this number is unlucky, there are not so many people walking through this passage. Ma Tao was wondering before why this area is so easy to park. It turns out that this is the reason.
Soon, light appeared in front, and sure enough, the exit was not far away.
After everyone came out, the scene in front of them made everyone a little stunned.
In Ma Tao's mind, no! In everyone's minds, the black market should be a dirty and messy place. Not only are the people messy, but the objects are even messier, because the black markets Ma Tao and others have been exposed to before are all in chaos without exception. The scene, but the Shura Palace black market in front of you is so neat that you can't believe that the business here is shady. It is very different from the places I have seen before.
"Is this a black market? Isn't this a dungeon?"
Xiao Jinzi looked at the neat underground houses in front of him with a confused face and the smooth and clean spacious road with people coming and going. It was better to say it was a black market than an underground city.
The location they are in is indeed Channel 7. To their left and right are Channels 6 and 8. On the opposite side are Channels 1 and 2. The maximum number reaches 16, forming a huge annular space. A big hole was dug out of the ground. The entire structure was like a huge bowl. Everyone's daily life was built around this bowl. At this time, they were in the middle of the bowl, looking up and down. However, in the middle of the bowl, there is a protruding castle-like place. It is brightly lit and is the most dazzling place in the entire Shura Palace. It is like a bright pearl at night. It must be the hub of power of the entire Shura Palace black market.
"How big does this place have to be..."
The construction of human beings is great. Ma Tao, who was filled with emotion, took two steps forward, bent down and looked down. Good guy, the people below have also died in the sea.
"Where should we go next?"
In a flash, Gao Han walked to Ma Tao's side and looked around the entire structure of Shura Hall and asked.
"It's so big, I don't know where to go?"
According to past experience, everything in the black market is displayed outside, and you can tell what is for sale and what to buy at a glance. But now, this place is like an underground town. It is impossible to tell who is selling things and who is the resident. If I had known better, Just leave the sickle and the others, Ma Tao replied somewhat depressedly.
"I think you need a guide."
At this moment, a childish voice that sounded timid and a little immature interjected.
Several people looked around and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy standing at the entrance of Channel 7, looking at them expectantly.
The boy's clothes are quite old, but very clean. It can be seen that they have been washed and faded in some places due to frequent cleaning. His facial features are quite delicate, but there is a scar several centimeters long on his face, which adds to the boy's original delicate face. A kind of sadness.
"Only 10...oh no, 6 G's"
The boy looked at this group of people, bit his lip and changed it to 6G.
Several people looked at each other, and no one said a word. At the same time, they looked at Ma Tao.
"Tell me, what's your name?"
Ma Tao knew that in a place like the black market, the profession of guide would definitely flourish, because human beings must find something to do if they want to survive, but not everyone has the courage to go out and fight monsters and do something safe and secure. Of course, work is the best, but it is still rare to see such a young child. He thought for a moment and asked with a calm face.
"Everyone calls me Carrot, you can also call me Carrot"
The boy mustered up the courage to answer Ma Tao's words.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Ma Tao frowned. He saw fear in the boy's eyes. It was fear from the bottom of his heart, but he also saw determination. Thinking about it, there was some reason why he had to demand this job, but he When someone first arrives, it is taboo to easily trust anyone, and they cannot be careless at all.
"I...I didn't"
Luobo denied it, but his sudden stutter revealed his inner state at this time.
"You know me? Do you know who I am?"
Ma Tao sneered and decided to trick him. He made his eyes cold and ruthless, as if he were looking at a dead person. Then he slowly touched the semi-automatic rifle behind him and saw the boy's eyes gradually becoming frightened. Watch his every move carefully.
"No...you don't have to, just let me go. Please, don't hurt me..."
Carrot was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed to Ma Tao several times.
"He is just a child, you will scare him!"
Gao Han stepped forward and grabbed Ma Tao, then looked at Carrot who was still kneeling on the ground.
At this time, Carrot was kneeling on the ground, his whole body was shaking like chaff, his breathing was rapid, his eyes were closed tightly, he didn't dare to get up at all, let alone look up at the people in front of him, he just hoped to be forgiven by these people.
Although the Shura Palace prohibits killing, it does not treat everyone equally. If you kill someone here, you must hand over a large sum of money to the black market to solve the problem. This is a privilege. After all, the life of an ordinary person is as different as the life of those who are rich. Comparing the sponsors, it is self-evident who the black market will target, but for Luobo, all he has to do to kill himself and the other party is to hand over a large amount of money. To the rich, this is nothing at all, but his own Life is only once.
"I don't want to either"
Ma Tao, who was pulled aside, spread his hands, but his eyes were still looking at the little boy. He didn't want to be a bad person, but he didn't want to be used by bad people either.
Ma Tao needs to thoroughly confirm the identity and credibility of this little boy. From now on, there is nothing wrong with this boy named Luobo. Both his eyes and body movements are normal. He is just here to make money. Ma Tao had to confirm that he was not an undercover sent by someone named Yan, but if this boy was really an undercover, then his actions just now could at least deter him and make him retreat.
"It seems that Brother Tao was deeply troubled by that nun in Rock..."
Xiao Jinzi lay down and whispered in An Ruo's ear. The latter looked at Ma Tao and said nothing.
"Get up quickly"
Gao Han reached out to help Carrot, but as soon as Carrot got up, he looked up and saw Ma Tao's eyes and fell to his knees in fright, saying nothing and not daring to get up.
"It's okay, that guy is just scaring you, get up."
Seeing that Carrot was unmoved, Gao Han turned around angrily and shouted at Ma Tao, "You should say something!"
Ma Tao was startled by her, and said to himself that he had already made enough observations. In this unfamiliar place, he and others really needed a guide. After all, using a child would be easier to control than using an adult. "You get up"
As if he had been granted amnesty, the boy hurriedly got up from the ground and kept saying thank you, but he still didn't dare to look at Ma Tao. As he said thank you, he turned around and left.
"Where are you going?"
When Ma Tao saw him turning around to leave, he immediately stopped him.
Luo Bao, who had just turned around, froze and froze there. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried his best to suppress them.
"me……"
The boy didn't know what the man who had just killed him wanted to do. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He didn't even have the courage to look back. He was afraid that when he turned around, he would see the muzzle of a cold gun and kill himself. At the scene of the funeral, I secretly wondered why my life was so miserable. Channel 7 was indeed a fatal place.
"Aren't you here to make money? Why are you leaving now?"
Ma Tao looked at his thin shoulders trembling slightly, then looked at Gao Han beside him who was glaring at him, and said helplessly to the little boy.
"You...where are you going...I...I don't want money..."
The boy was so frightened that he turned his back to them and shook his head.
"No money? That's not okay, hey! Go on!"
Seeing this, Ma Tao took out 10 G directly from his pocket, called the boy and threw it away.
When Luo Bo heard the shouting and turned around, he suddenly saw two things being thrown over and subconsciously reached out to catch them. When he lowered his head and saw that it was G, and there were ten of them, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but it immediately turned into a blank look. Xiang Ma Tao.
"From now on, you're hired"
Ma Tao, who had always kept a straight face, finally showed a smile. This smile was a huge surprise in the boy's eyes, and he even couldn't believe it was true, until Carrot bit the hard G in his hand with his teeth to confirm. It was real, and he looked happy.
"This is what a child should look like."
Looking at the carrot jumping on the spot, Gao Han sighed.
"In the apocalypse, where will there be children?"
Ma Tao glanced at her and answered.
"You...really want to hire me?"
It seemed that he still didn't believe that he had such good luck. He was excited as he held the 10 G carrot and looked at Ma Tao and asked again.
how? "Are you still planning to take the money and not do anything?"
Ma Tao asked him back, which made the little boy stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.
"Then where do you plan to go? Oh! No, I will take you wherever you want to go today."
After accepting these ten Gs, knowing that the other party was really planning to hire him, he would not be in danger. Luobo calmed down his excitement, and when he saw Ma Tao, he was no longer as scared as before, so he took the photo He patted his skinny chest and said.
"You little brat, you can go anywhere. I want to go to the castle down there, can you take me there? It's not a good boy to talk big."
Gao Han saw that the boy was scared to death a second ago, and now he started talking nonsense again, and he shook his head helplessly.
"I...I'm not boasting. If you want to go, I can take you there now."
Unexpectedly, the carrot in front of him was not convinced when he heard Gao Han's advice. He puffed up his chest and spoke righteously.
"Okay, okay, we believe it"
Ma Tao and others did not take Luo Bao's words seriously, and only regarded them as a joke to get rid of people's anger.
