    Chapter 233: Tangled

    "As far as I know, the situation in Hidden Moon City at that time was more than just a dispute."

    Bergson bowed respectfully and said: "They dispatched all armed personnel and surrounded the convoy of Lord Brooke and Lord Boris. Perhaps because he did not want the goods in the car to be damaged, Lord Boris made certain remarks to the people left behind in the city.  This kind of concession. Due to identity restrictions, the intelligence personnel I sent could not enter the inner city to gain a deeper understanding of the situation. During that time, Hidden Moon City seemed to be in a stalemate, and the convoy was under surveillance and control. Until the refugees who recently joined the city lost supervision,  sparking a full-blown riot.¡±

    Kleist slowly picked up a glass of red wine on the table, looked at Bergson's face with a flattering expression, and said casually: "I'm not interested in other situations. Be more direct, your people, there are  Didn¡¯t you see Brooke and Boris leaving that city?¡±

    Bergson quietly paid attention to every emotional change that could be captured on Kleist's face, and at the same time, his mind was rapidly thinking about every word that the spy had said to him.  After pausing for a few minutes, he answered decisively: "The convoy has left, but I don't guarantee that Mr. Brooke and Mr. Boris are among them. At least, my people have not confirmed this."

    Kleist suddenly raised his head, and bloodshot eyes were rapidly filling his eyes at a speed that could be detected by the naked eye.  His pupils suddenly tightened, and he stared at the Luton family patriarch standing in front of him as if he were staring at prey, and asked coldly: "Are you sure?"

    Bergson couldn¡¯t help but shiver. The temperature in the room seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant, with no sign of stopping.  Suppressing the fear and ecstasy in his heart, he tried to maintain a calm and stable tone and said seriously: "The team and the individual are two completely different concepts. Although Brooke and Boris are powerful, anything can happen in this world.  . It is not uncommon for lions to be eaten up by ants.¡±

    "Crack-"

    The glass in Kleist¡¯s hand shattered, and broken glass shards were scattered all over the table. The wine slowly flowed down his wrist, like bright red blood.

    Kleist's face turned livid. After a few minutes, he slowly took out a dark gray checkered handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped away the residual alcohol stuck to the surface of his skin bit by bit, while also wiping the corners of his mouth.  Gradually, he opened up and revealed a devilish smile: "You should understand that making trouble in front of me will not bring any benefits at all. Anyone who wants to indirectly use me I will make him die miserably."

    With just one sentence, Bergson already instinctively felt fear and a real threat.  He took a deep breath, barely controlled his body's urge to tremble, and with a stiff smile on his face that was no better than crying, he said mechanically: "I don't dare to lie to you, and I don't dare to have any intention at all.  The idea of ??concealing or deceiving. Everything I just said is true. Regarding this, I am willing to accept your test at the cost of my life¡ª"

    Kleist narrowed his eyes slightly, and his constricted pupils slowly expanded.  No need to speak, just relying on his gaze, he had completely controlled the thinking of the man in front of him.  With strength and coercion, the weak rabbit did not dare to lie in front of the violent lion, and it was impossible for him to lie.

    After a long time, he put away his pressing eyes that exuded a strong aura of death, returned to his normal state, and asked calmly: "Which direction is the convoy going after leaving the city?"

    ¡°¡­North, north.¡±

    The relieved Bergson let out a long breath.  He suddenly realized that his entire vest was soaked in cold sweat.

    Kleist nodded and did not ask any more questions.  Overall, the information he had was similar to what Bergson said.  The only difference is that what the patriarch of the Luton family said was more detailed, and it included facts about the team and individuals that he had not thought of.

    "Hidden Moon City." He silently recited the name in his heart.

    "Your Excellency, you"

    Bergson always had a smile on his face.  He wanted to continue to add a little more weight to his own benefit to Kleist's violent thinking, but he was forcefully forced back by the other party's cold eyes. He could only stand there with a smile, and opened his mouth, but could not say anything.  In practical terms.

    "I like honest people."

    After a long time, Kleist finally turned his cold eyes away from him, but his tone of voice was still chilling, full of violent and frenzied death threats: "I will personally investigate this matter. If what you said  Everything is true, I may unscrew the head of the young man named Lin Xiang and let you get everything he has. On the contrary you will understand the consequences of deception. Hahahaha¡ª"

    ??White mud is smeared on the white rocks to form a dull, pink and greasy, an unchanging fixed color.

    Houses made of large stones are strong and durable, but they cannot be transformed into square and angular shapes according to design drawings under the support of reinforced concrete like in the old days. They can only use the simplest method to carve on the surface of the stone.  Dense twill patterns are produced, staggered and joined together to form a hard and thick handmade structure.

    Like all the houses in Hidden Moon City, Wang Biao's house also uses the same construction methods as others.  Of course, this is just the superficial appearance. When you walk inside, you will immediately be attracted by the various patterns of different shapes on the walls.

    The preference for beautiful patterns and bright colors is probably something that all women have in common among humans from the old era and the new generation.

    Nina also likes to decorate her home beautifully.  Unfortunately, the wasteland world lacks supplies. When food and drinking water are not guaranteed, humans have no interest, time and energy to transform and beautify the surrounding environment.

    ? Mix clay with water and stir evenly, adding a part of the gum boiled from animal bones, which is the best red pigment.

    The powder scattered from the coal is crushed more finely with a stone mortar, and neutralized liquid is added to make it the most natural black color.

    There are many other ways to make pigments - azure extracted from purple cauliflower rhizomes, goose yellow obtained by mutating dendrobium orchids, and fluorescent stones that have been soaked in radiation puddles for many years and have already changed their molecular structure.  Grinding it into lake blue In fact, the new generation of humans does not lack the wisdom inherited from their ancestors in the old era. They just focus more on how to obtain food and maintain survival.  Once they have enough food and clothing, they will naturally become interested in other things around them.

    Nina is not a painter, and has never received any tutorials related to aesthetics, but this does not reflect her love and yearning for beautiful colors and patterns.

    Thick coal-black lines are outlined on the pink and white walls, and bright colors are filled in them. There is no clear meaning or theme in the picture, it is just a spliced ??combination of color blocks and lines, curved, straight, triangular, square This is not  The hunting ritual images smeared with red mud by primitive humans in ancient grottoes cannot be compared with Michelangelo¡¯s solemn church ceiling paintings, nor can they be compared with Picasso¡¯s abstract combinations that evoke imagination.  It is just a decoration of the room wall with color blocks. It is rough yet delicate. It can find the existence of tranquility in the colorfulness, and can make people feel the majesty of the mountains and the vastness of the sky.  Even in the haziness, you can vaguely see the faint rainbow shrouded in a pink halo under the sky after the rain.

    Living simply for survival, the world is full of cruelty, blood, and death.

    However, it will not remain dark forever.

    Because, after all, there are still human beings on this planet, this world, this desolate wasteland full of devastation.

    ¡­¡­

    After owning his own city lord¡¯s official residence, Lin Xiang had not been to Wang Biao¡¯s house for a long time and tasted the polenta cooked by Nina.

    Too many things distract your energy, the issues that need attention are becoming more and more complicated, and you have to make the final decision by yourself on all matters big and small.  Re-establishing order in a chaotic world requires iron fists and bloodshed, and it also requires the thunderous arrival and intimidation of those in power.

    Of course, this situation mostly exists in the early stages of creation.  When everything is on track and develops steadily according to the predetermined plan, more managers will help the city owner spread the burden.  Time and leisure will naturally increase gradually.

    Holding Ying Jia¡¯s hand and walking on the hard and flat cement road, Lin Xiang felt as if his heart was like a light feather, being blown higher and higher by the warm wind, slowly floating in the air.

    Shopping with your girlfriend is a sweet enjoyment for every man in love.

    Lin Xiang had never received this kind of treatment in the old days.  At that time, the love he received was a bit illusory, mixed with too much blood and death.  In the end, it was completely destroyed and shattered by nuclear bombs falling from the sky.

    The streets of Hidden Moon City are spacious and clean, and workers assigned by each block management committee clean them according to fixed periods every day.  Most of this work is done by women and the elderly who are relatively weak in physical strength, but they can also receive their own piece of bread just like strong men.

    Basically all the houses facing the street have been converted into shops, and a considerable number of them are official material exchange places.  Citizens can use various types of goods, and the value will be verified by professional reviewers here. According to different personal needs, they can be exchanged into two circulating currencies, Sospian dollars and Ferdinand dollars, and then re-purchase the goods they need.

    The livestock farm has been expanded three times in a row, and the two-headed cows and bighorn sheep captured from the wildBreeding has already begun.  According to Lin Xiang's order, all cow's milk and goat's milk must be defatted. After the butter is separated, it can be supplied in batches to high-level citizens with ration qualifications.

    The reproductive capacity of mutated pigs is much stronger than that of domestic pigs in the old days.  Intense radiation changed the fixed internal structure of the body. In order to survive, they also evolved sharp fangs.  Sadly, pigs are still pigs.  It has been less than a hundred years since the end of the war. They were unable to completely change themselves in such a short period of time. They got rid of obesity and became as real as rot wolves and hyenas. They could only settle for the second best. Forced by the harsh environment,  Forcibly change the inherent reproductive system and desperately continue the population in a prolific and high-yield manner.

    Giving birth to thirty-six cubs in one litter was a special case that would have shocked biologists in the old days.  Now, this surprises no one.  Looking at the round piglet curled up on the belly of the old sow, biting and sucking the fat vagina, humming in comfort, and not even wanting to open its eyes, people will only feel excited and happy.  As long as these fat little guys can survive to the growth stage, after eight to ten months, they will turn into fried or stewed meat on a plate, exuding the aroma of oil.

    The breeding situation of chickens ranks among the best among all domestic animals. Their egg production rate is also higher than that of their ancestors in the old era. The special chicken cage structure makes their strong desire to peck at eggs eventually become a dream.  These birds, with their sharp claws and shells, are more ferocious than pigs.  They are struggling all the time, trying to tear out the keeper's throat and devour fresh flesh and blood.  But they will never be released from their cages throughout their lives.  Captivity and free-range breeding, which have been proven since ancient times to be effective in increasing vitality and enhancing muscle tenderness, can probably only be used on their next generation, or the next generation after that.  The premise is that they must obey human orders honestly, stay in their nests, lay eggs and hatch babies, and provide more high-energy nutrients to their breeders.

    As for the fruit trees planted on the hillside, they only produced four pears the size of a fist and a peach not much bigger than a thumb.  If you really want to taste the fruit, you have to wait until at least next year, or the year after that.

    Despite this, everything in Hidden Moon City is still novel to those refugees who have just joined the city.

    They saw so many unimaginable things here.  They had never even imagined that precious butter and cheese could be sold in shop windows like ordinary goods; smoked bacon and cured meats with an attractive luster were sold in public goods stations with crude materials.  There are ropes hanging all over the roof; there are also salted fish and various seafood products that are obviously transported from the seaside, with crystal grains of salt still remaining on the surface As long as you have enough money, you can get them.

    You can also see some other things in the store - cans and biscuits with black skulls on the surface, pots and jars collected from the ruins, which look more or less clean, clothes and shoes that can be worn on the body, and soap bars.  Decontamination powder made from similar shrubs Of course, there are also jaggery made by many wilderness refugees, which is obtained by squeezing the juice from sweet-tasting plants, drying it, and drying it.

    The materials in Hidden Moon City are richer than most settlements, but this does not mean that everything can be bought here.  Those large family organizations that were the first to emerge from the underground shelters after the nuclear war were able to produce some very special objects that could not be obtained through ordinary production methods.

    For example: beautiful women's underwear, light and smooth stockings, exquisitely crafted high heels, men's razors, perfume, coffee, skin care products and wine.

    These things cannot fill the stomach, but they represent part of the civilization inherited from that era of destruction.  Most of them are luxury goods from the old times.  Louis.  Vuitton's leather goods, Gillette blades, Chanel perfume, Lafite wine symbols that have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years, have been sworn by future generations to protect and continue at the cost of their lives.  They strictly adhere to the production procedures, and the recipes are still passed down from generation to generation according to the old family rules.  Due to limitations in the environment, raw materials, energy and many other aspects, the output of these things is not large and the scope of supply is extremely limited. However, the value is still extremely expensive, even more than in the old times.  If we must find a difference, then it is probably that in the past, people used banknotes to purchase, but now they use grain, gold, and other materials that can be used as hard currency to exchange.

    The products sold in Hidden Moon City are currently only targeted at the lower class people.  Rough and durable, it is far from beautiful and delicate, but it can meet the requirements of refugees living on the hunger and poverty line.  Their goal is actually not high, just enough food and clothing.

    This kind of product model will probably last for a long time.  As the number of high-level citizens increases, the benefits obtained from farming land and trade become more and more abundant, and their requirements for goods are not limited to simple food and water.  Medium and high-end trade networks must be established,These have no function in the eyes of the refugees in the wilderness. They cannot keep warm when worn, and cannot satisfy hunger when eaten. The short skirts and wine that exist only to satisfy human desires will soon become the treasures they compete for among themselves.

    Human desires are always satisfied and vented in various ways.  The so-called luxury goods, to put it bluntly, are actually the best tools to use exquisite workmanship and artificially limited quantities to empty consumers' pockets as much as possible and quickly complete asset plunder.

    If you want to get these, you must target Sosbia.  Although the Luton family does not have the ability to produce heavy machinery like the "Black Iron Furnace", it can produce some other clothes, hats and shoes with good quality and exquisite styles.

    "Plundering and usurping is a sin, but Lin Xiang has no choice."

    This is originally a chaotic and dirty world. If you want to survive among robbers and bandits, you must become a more cruel, ruthless and violent devil than others.

    ¡­¡­

    The weather in early spring is still a bit cold, and the breeze blowing on your face is refreshing and refreshing.

    The white thick velvet pantyhose outlines the slender legs. Under the high-collar cotton jumpsuit, the girl's proud breasts are highlighted. A pair of short boots that are full of feminine charm but cute, and with large horns.  Made of lambskin, the white shawl wraps around the upper body. The whole appearance is full of childishness and charm, making people want to hold it in their arms for protection, and at the same time, they can't help but be tempted to make a move.

    A skinny black figure stood in the alley on the side of the street, staring at Ying Jia and Lin Xiang who were walking slowly from a distance with fanatical and jealous eyes.
