Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1280: Robbed at the Assembly Point

However, Chu Chen's snowmobile was forced to stop about 10 or 20 meters from entering the cave.

Because there was no snow left on the ground.

Instead, it turned into a hard cement floor.

Several large lights overhead illuminated the entire passageway brightly.

Chu Chen parked the snowmobile next to him, took out the key, and walked inside with his bag on his back.

About ten minutes later, the scenery changed again, making Chu Chen feel as if he had returned to Roland's world, to the place where Hudlow was.

It seems that human creativity is truly limitless.

A street stretched out before them, disappearing into the distance.

The streets are lined with all kinds of shops, but there is no sun or sky above them.

Chu Chen walked along, looking around as he went.

They discovered that the entire street was not much different from the modern society they had been living in. The only difference was that there wasn't a single plant on the street.

To his surprise, he actually saw a vegetable shop.

I didn't know the prices or the currency here, so I could only grit my teeth and keep going.

Just then, a familiar voice came from a shop that was lit up with pink lights.

"Hey bro, come on in and have some fun!"

Chu Chen was taken aback after hearing this, thinking that this industry could endure no matter where it was.

It seems that as long as there is demand, there will always be a market, and where there is a market, there will be products.

Filled with curiosity, Chu Chen stepped inside.

Of course, Chu Chen wasn't after the scenery inside; he was simply there to gather information and learn more about this human gathering point as quickly as possible.

Everyone he met outside said that the human gathering points were officially established. So, is this official body the government of the entire country, or is each city an independent entity?

Chu Chen was skeptical about this. If it was the Chinese government, then paying snow crystals to enter the assembly point was a practice rarely seen in China.

"Handsome, alone? Or with others?"

Hearing this "handsome guy," Chu Chen suddenly felt a long-lost feeling.

He immediately put on a smile and said to the receptionist, "Yes, one person, two people! How much does it cost?"

"Handsome guy, are you from outside?"

"Gold or silver crystals, either is fine!"

Chu Chen nodded, waved his hand, and took out a small yellow croaker from the bag behind him.

The receptionist beamed with joy when she saw the yellow croaker.

Such a generous offer suggests that this person is quite wealthy, but he doesn't seem to understand the monetary system at the gathering point.

After the city was sealed off by heavy snow, and decades later, the original paper money had long since lost its effectiveness.

People began using gold and silver, and due to the scarcity of resources, prices soared.

"Handsome, this place isn't cheap. What kind of services are you interested in?"

After saying that, the receptionist took out something that looked like a menu.

Chu Chen took the order, casually selected a few items, and then paid the price of half a small yellow croaker before being led into a room with pink lighting.

Holding the remaining half of the small yellow croaker that had been cut off, Chu Chen exclaimed that prices were too high.

The small gold bars I took out must have weighed at least 100 grams, and in just one hour, I used up 50 grams.

If we consider the prices before he transmigrated, this would be practically gilded.

An hour later, Chu Chen walked out of the pink-lit room.

With a slight smile on his lips, he had a general understanding of the so-called gathering point.

It turns out that twenty years after the city was sealed off by heavy snow, the entire social order was completely disrupted, and all sorts of forces emerged one after another.

The most formidable are those combinations of large warehousing companies and various security companies.

This place was previously leased by a large company for use as a warehouse. After the city was locked down and the whole world was in chaos, the company joined forces with several large security companies to set up their own base and gather people for refuge.

After numerous conflicts, things gradually stabilized.

Having developed to its current state, it has long since become the de facto official entity of Shacheng.

This place is now controlled by a man named Ma Biao, who was originally an unknown small business owner.

However, they were ruthless and powerful, with a group of daring and ruthless people around them. So, while the government was busy with disaster relief, they took over a small military base and then led their people to occupy it.

The Shacheng Human Gathering Point was established, nominally under official control, but since the official authorities were located in the far north, Ma Biao became the de facto local tyrant of Shacheng.

He controlled everything in the assembly point, collecting a population tax, and specifically, only snow crystals. Over time, snow crystals became the most important resource for the people there, besides gold and silver.

After leaving the chicken coop, Chu Chen continued walking towards the street.

Little did Chu Chen know that the moment he stepped out the door, the receptionist picked up the phone on the table.

Before long, four or five men emerged from various alleys on both sides of the street. Their target was clear: Chu Chen, who was ahead of them.

Chu Chen immediately noticed the tail behind him. With his powerful spiritual perception, no matter how well it hid, it couldn't escape.

He thought to himself, "Perfect timing. I was just thinking of going to meet Ma Biao. I didn't expect to be targeted as soon as I entered the city. I hope it's one of Ma Biao's men."

So he traveled and inquired along the way, and soon arrived at Ma Biao's location, the administrative center of the human gathering point.

Looking at the underground structure made entirely of reinforced concrete, Chu Chen couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of his heart.

These were previous military facilities, and they're underground, so I doubt anyone could breach them.

Unless you use super weapons, this is also Ma Biao's confidence.

Upon seeing this place, the four men were still following, which suggests that these people were probably not just ordinary thugs.

So, like someone who doesn't know any rules, he walked straight toward the main entrance of the building in front of him.

As soon as he passed through the first door, the four people behind him surrounded him.

Then the four of them dragged and pulled him to a dark spot nearby.

"Boy, hand over what you have!"

"who are you?"

Seeing their direct and decisive manner, and the pistols pointed at their stomachs, Chu Chen most likely guessed their identities.

I learned from the young lady that here, ordinary people have to undergo regular checks, let alone guns or even knives. So these people must be Ma Biao's men.

"Hmph, aren't you talking a bit too much?"

"Heh, even the officials have switched to robbery. Is this rendezvous point really that poor?"

"Hmm? Kid, you're pretty smart. The strange thing is, you've been losing money."
