Chapter 320: The Line of Defense This is called making money. The new guy who is peanuts

When you see, there are fortresses, bunkers, bunkers, and bunkers. Just one mile away from Li Yeling and others, a large fortress group lies there, and the front width of this fortress group reached an astonishing ten kilometers. This means that the size of the fortress area facing Li Yeling alone is already greater than the fortress on the east bank of the Tuotuo River.

As Li Yeling approached Wuyun City, his heart became more and more ups and downs.

The setting of the large fortress in front of me is slightly different from the Tuotuo River Fortress before. First of all, at the outermost periphery of the fortress area is a large piece of barbed wire. This barbed wire is not vertically erected like on the banks of the Tuotuo River, but is laid flat on the ground. The width of the barbed wire is more than five meters and is about twenty centimeters away from the ground.

These barbed wire mesh are densely packed, and at the connections above, there are sharp iron spikes up to five centimeters long. Such iron spikes are enough to pierce the tires of all cars. In fact, in the sight, such a defense line surrounding the entire Wuyun City is a permanent anti-tank combat vehicle fence. With such a barbed wire mesh structure and various small parts scattered below it, even heavy tanks that are standard in the armies of various countries before the end of the world, don't expect to rush over from above in one go. The intricate barbed wire mesh will firmly entangle the tracks, wheels, and even the chassis. Not to mention that with the natural danger Tuotuo River defense line hundreds of miles away, whether heavy tanks can come is a question.

As for infantry? In the face of such a barbed wire, infantry can only struggle to move forward, and if they are trapped in it, they can only be a living target.

About three meters behind this layer of barbed wire, countless long heavy triangular steel beams were inserted diagonally into the fertile soil of Jinzhong. These giant steel beams pointing to the sky at an angle of 60 degrees are each about three meters high. Three rows of steel beams are inserted into the soil, and the spacing between each row is about three meters. Such a spacing can not only ensure the momentum of the opponent's attack, but also leave enough shooting space for your own weapons.

Even if the countless possibilities before were all destroyed, the enemy's tanks rushed through the barbed wire defense line incredibly, they would be defeated in front of the steel beams.

Seeing this setting, Li Yeling had an epiphany in his heart. It turns out that he was traveling thousands of miles to read the Astronomy and three powerful triangular steel beams, which were just slightly inferior to the seemingly invincible city wall of Steel Town.

While the high and thick city walls block the enemy outside, they also completely expose the defenders on the city wall to the artillery fire of the attacking side, which will cause a large number of casualties to their own soldiers. However, such a setting can keep the opponent out of the door at a certain distance and then cause damage to the enemy in a relatively stable and safe environment. Unless a large-caliber shell directly hits this barbed wire and three steel beams, they will not be completely destroyed. The biggest advantage of this is that it can maximize the safety of its own combatants.

A thought suddenly arose in Li Yeling's mind: If he still builds the city wall, but puts these things in front of the city wall, will it have unexpected results?

Behind the steel beam, about a hundred meters away, it is a gentle hillside. The hillside is covered with tall birch forests. These birch trees are tall and thick, and still stand proudly in the severe cold. If you look from the air, those who understand military can understand that these woods and gentle slopes will not only not hinder the combat of the defensive forces, but are completely a special deployment of integration into the overall defense.

The slope of the hillside is at most about 35 or 6 degrees, and the extremely dense shooting holes hidden on the hillside cannot escape Li Yeling's sharp eyes. The figures exposed in these shooting holes made Li Yeling a little scared, heavy machine guns, countless heavy machine guns. There are countless Yongbei firepower points located below the hillside. As long as it is fired, it will be a rain of bullets.

And in the dense birch forest, if there were no various artillery positions in it, Li Yeling would not believe it if he was killed.

Overall, this line of defense has its own advantages compared to the east bank of the Tuotuo River, but it is obviously more powerful in defense and extremely strong in elasticity.

After breathing a long sigh, Li Yeling withdrew his gaze and the entrance was in front.

In one of the barbed wire, a gap about ten meters wide was opened. This gap was no longer asphalt pavement, but paved with stone slabs. On both sides of here, a tall artillery tower was standing tall on one side. The two were covered with heavy machine gun shooting holes, and the ten-meter artillery tower armed to their teeth, like two door gods, staring at the passing pedestrians.

Under the artillery tower, a whole guard with hundreds of people was patrolling here. All pedestrian caravans passing by had to undergo careful inspections. However, these were obviously excellent soldiers, and they were all very official. After reading the list of goods and checking that there were no contraband, they were released. The whole process was transparent and efficient, and they were not extorted. They were many times stronger than the old Chinese bureaucrats in the past.

After passing here, I walked forward for more than a hundred meters. It was an ancient city tower-like building. This place was actually a gap in the hillside. The city tower was towering and was also highly vigilant. Here is the last checkpoint leading to Wuyun City, the tax customs.

Here, tax personnel in blue military uniforms checked and checked each car with the list of goods that Wang Jun had prepared in advance. After confirming it, they would charge a tariff of 5% of the total price of goods worth 5% of the total price of goods according to the market price of Wuyun City today. Wuyun City's tax policy is very flexible, which can be precious metals such as gold, or physical objects, or even money-crystals.

Of course, things like magic crystals and magic beast skins are the most popular.

In fact, Li Yeling still doesn't understand why Wuyun City uses gold and silver as general currency. Moreover, if these precious metals are used as currency, the authorities' financial system must have a considerable amount of monetary reserves, that is, gold! Gold is not difficult to obtain, but as a god-selected person, is it worth it to exchange precious exchange points for inexpensive gold in item stores?

Wang Jun paid a total of 30 Wuyuncheng standard gold coins, which is equivalent to 600 grams of gold. This means that the total value of the goods Wang Jun carried this time reached 12,000 grams of gold, which was replaced by a relatively easy-to-understand number. According to Guan Pingyin, which was commonly used in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period, one tael is equal to 37 grams, which means that the total value of the goods on the latter carts is more than 300 taels of gold.

The goods that Wang Jun himself carries are not worth so much. In fact, the things he carries from the old era covered with blood, that is, one percent of the total value, and the most expensive and the most important one is the fur of those monsters.

It was not until Li Yeling saw the reluctance on his face that Li Yeling felt moved when he saw the layers of neat monster fur. These tax officials had hoped that Wang Jun could use monster fur to pay gold coins at a fair price, and had monster fur to pay taxes. He even promised that if he used monster fur to pay taxes, he could enjoy certain preferential policies, but was rejected by Wang Jun, who was smiling.

"Why, are they so interested in the fur of the monster? This must be what they explained above. So, what is that person's intention?" Li Yeling thought about it, and suddenly realized it and cursed himself as a fool.

He immediately entered the item store, looked at the ratio of exchange points to exchange gold and warcraft fur, and immediately understood.

This time, the Tiger Head Tribe asked Wang Jun to bring the fur of the monsters to be sold, with a total of 131 pieces, with a total value of 560 gold coins. Among them, the fur of the second-level monster is twenty-five. According to the tax officer just now, each piece is worth 5 gold coins. Five gold coins, that is, one hundred grams of gold. This hundred grams of gold can be exchanged for one redemption point in the item store, while the fur of a second-level monster can be exchanged for three redemption points in the item store!

This means that the actual value of a monster fur is equivalent to 300 grams of gold, that is, fifteen gold coins, which is three times the current market price of the monster fur in Wuyun City. If the gold coins are definitely mixed with a lot of other metals during the minting process, then a second-level monster fur is enough to offset the price of twenty or even more gold coins.

Huge profits are definitely naked huge profits.

In Wuyun City, as long as it is a transaction or tax, it is a huge profit that reaches 800% or even 100% of the profit.

Li Yeling finally understood why the Wuyun City has such a great demand for all related to monsters. I am afraid that it is not just monsters. Everything that can be exchanged for redemption points in the item store is very popular in Wuyun City. You can meet, these materials are bought at relatively low prices, or are charged as taxes, and one of the Divine Chosen One of the rulers in Wuyun City will include them in the item store and exchange them for redemption points. Only a small part of these redemption points will be exchanged for gold equivalent to the market value of the item to fill the market, and the remaining redemption points will be exchanged for various required materials.

After understanding this, Li Yeling finally understood why Wuyun City has so sufficient supplies, with so many guns and cannons, and is rich and powerful. They used a trading center to attract everyone within hundreds of miles around to trade, and then used the method of collecting physical taxes, official trading and controlling market prices to obtain all the things that can be exchanged for exchange points, and then exchanged these things for weapons and equipment.

No wonder people have money! Such a large-scale way of making money has a profit of ten times or a hundred times greater than that of Li Yeling as a two-arms dealer.

Li Yeling's way of making money was to kill zombies in exchange for energy crystals, and the people occupied the mountain here as king, and countless exchange points rolled in. Isn't Wang Jun a typical example? After the Tiger Head Tribe established a long-term trade link with Wuyun City, things like monster skins, bones, and even monster crystal cores would definitely flow into Wuyun City in large quantities, which indirectly promoted the development of Wuyun City.

Thinking of this, it is not difficult to explain why the core members of Wuyun City are so coveted by the Tiger Head Tribe. For the senior management of Wuyun City, a group that can hunt monsters in large quantities will bring them huge benefits.

Li Yeling couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the person who came up with this idea had such a deep scheming and wisdom that was incomparable to him at this stage. At least in terms of financial management, he was beyond his reach. If he was a big landlord, he would be a tenant.

This trip to Wuyun City is really worth it, and I learned a lot.

After passing the tax customs, I truly entered Wuyun City.

Once you pass the tax customs, you will see a surviving prosperity. In front of you is an extremely wide street, with people coming and going, and cars are running one by one, making Li Yeling suddenly realize that he has returned to a metropolis before the end of the world.

Received the extremely noise above, all kinds of noises mixed together, which greatly impacted people's eardrums and brought waves of noise. It seemed that in an instant, he stepped into the world from a dead place and stepped into the world.

The vehicles moved forward slowly, and this rare prosperous scene in the apocalypse also made Li Yeling, who was living in the wilderness and was unable to see two or three people a day, and opened his eyes. Steel Town can be regarded as a major port in the apocalypse, but compared with this place, it is not known how many times inferior.

The main road in front of me was more than 100 meters wide, but even so, it was filled with a large number of vehicles and crowds. Li Yeling even felt a long-lost experience called traffic jam.

On both sides of the street, there are not ordinary houses, but towering Gothic tower buildings, with spires high and colorful flags of various brightly colored roaring among them.

Extremely stunning and gorgeous.

The towering birch trees on both sides of the street, the hot springs on the corners of the street, and some flowers covered with glass covers and deliberately decorated are all illuminating. This city is great. These exotic buildings make people obsessed with it. This can be seen from the intoxication of Peanuts' face.

Liu Yun also had similar expressions. For the first time, she and Peanut joined forces, and they were clamoring to get out of the car and take a walk. Li Yeling refuted it with a stern face. Unlike Peanut's disappointment, Liu Yun was secretly happy in his heart. She already knew Li Yeling's plan. After staying in Wuyun City for a few days, she would have to take a few people to Phoenix City. Now he doesn't let himself go out to avoid being targeted, so he naturally means taking him with him.

Li Yeling did not notice the cunning little thoughts of the girl. At this time, he was busy fighting against the negative emotions in his heart. The guy who plotted against him in Kinmen Town yesterday has taken action again, and the surging energy is coming towards him. This kind of spiritual energy is different from the general attack energy, invisible and tangible, and it cannot be noticed at all, and it is directly applied to Li Yeling's mind.

However, Li Yeling was already prepared this time. Although waves of surging energy kept coming, the feeling of panic and even dying like yesterday did not appear. However, the negative emotions, such as depression, pain, sadness, sadness, etc., came one after another, making his face turn blue and white, and looked very strange.

Li Yeling cursed in his heart that it was not a big deal to resist like this. He has always been in a passive position of being beaten. It has never been Li Yeling's style. He desperately revolved the energy in his body, trying to find an opportunity to fight back. However, the attack method of the opponent he had never met was so strange. Waves of spiritual attacks, invisible and intangible, rushed towards Li Yeling desperately, layer by layer, making Li Yeling feel a little weak when he resisted, let alone counterattacking. All the energy and spirit were used to resist this tide attack, and they could not draw out a trace of it.

If you want to counterattack, you must first resist the attack, at least for a moment.

Li Yeling had an idea and thought about it. He held the direction in his hand and was still driving, but his heart became calmer and calmer. Finally, this calmness and indifference gradually turned into paralysis and numbness. In the end, Li Yeling's whole mentality became a state of no resentment, no anger, no joy or sorrow, like a god. At this time, Li Yeling's whole person and entire spiritual realm were like being wrapped in a thick cocoon, without a trace of gap or weakness.

At this moment, Li Yeling was impeccable, and his whole spirit reached a state that was simply beyond his reach with his current strength.

This state can only be maintained for a moment, but even this moment is enough.

And this time, the sneak attacker hidden in the dark, the layers of spiritual attacks like a tide, hit Li Yeling's thick defense line densely around his mind, and then bounced away heavily and returned in vain.

The opponent who was attacking seemed to have felt the changes of Li Yeling. He also saw the opportunity very quickly and was very clever. After discovering that Li Yeling was wrong, he immediately pulled away and wanted to leave. However, Li Yeling was beaten so hard for so long, how could he not fight back?

Li Yeling's eyes suddenly opened, and the light in his eyes shot out. He snorted heavily, held the hands of the steering wheel, and pinched them down hard.

An extremely powerful energy condensed into the shape of a sharp arrow, emanating from Li Yeling's body, rushing towards the sneak attacker. The dozen lines of defense that the attacker had set up in haste were easily broken through like a hymen in front of the thug. This energy sharp arrow stabbed hard and hit the attacker heavily.

In the dark, Li Yeling seemed to hear a painful hum, and then the aura that made Li Yeling feel very uncomfortable disappeared.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yeling's mouth. Just now, his energy arrow gave the sneak attacker a fierce attacker. Although he could not kill him with one blow, it was enough to seriously injured him. For Li Yeling, who was attacked twice, he let out a strong breath.

But Li Yeling was also very uncomfortable. This can be seen from the dense layer of sweat beads appearing on his forehead. The energy sharp arrow he had just condensed had consumed one-third of his body's energy. At this moment, he consumed 30% of his total energy, and no one would be able to relax. What made Li Yeling even more burdened was that he had entered that impeccable state at that moment.

According to Li Yeling's own strength, he could not enter this realm at all, but under the stimulation of the sneak attacker, he actually became a blessing in disguise and realized this realm. The benefits of this realm needless to be said. When he practiced to enter this realm of no self and no other, he could be immune to almost all mental attacks, and in this moment, his own strength also improved significantly.

For this state that transcends one's own realm, Li Yeling named it "Domes of God!"

From the name, you can see how rebellious Li Yeling was in his heart. The power that only God can control is what he pursues and seeks.

Although the effect is powerful, the price to pay for entering this divine realm is also very good. However, at that moment, most of Li Yeling's mental power had been consumed. The loss of a large amount of mental power made Li Yeling, who had always been energetic, suddenly feel dizzy, and a wave of dizziness came, and the scenery in front of him was vaguely shaking.

This discovery made Li Yeling very frightened. He quickly mobilized a lot of energy in his body and rushed into his mind frantically, slowly penetrated and invaded, nourishing the almost exhausted brain.

This is more comfortable.

After a while, Li Yeling looked up at the two people and said, "Okay, don't worry, it's okay."

Just now, Liu Yun and Peanut saw that Li Yeling's expressions were blue and white, changing constantly. In the end, they even trembled all over. They didn't know what was going on, but they were both scared. Now that they saw that Li Yeling could still laugh, they were relieved.

Except for the three people who escaped attackers, no one knew what happened just now. Li Yeling's convoy was still walking slowly in the traffic flow of this metropolis, following the cars in front and heading towards his destination. The traffic was full of traffic and there was nothing to do when he was free, Li Yeling turned his eyes to the crowd outside the window.

Li Yeling and others walked on the right, and next to it was the main road for non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians to walk. From his perspective, the expressions of the people below were clearly visible. You should see how this place looks, what style it has, and what living standards it has, which can be seen from people's faces.

This is like in the Iron Town, the people on Li Yeling's side, because they have just formed a new army, and Li Yeling's supply of various subordinates has always been good, so their expressions on their faces are positive, full of hope and full of enthusiasm; the people on Xu Shouyi's side are lively and with a little careful spying and treacherous, so they always have false smiles on their faces; while the people on Lin Hongda's side are the simplest, and their daily work and stable life bring them fatigue and satisfaction.

In addition to cars, the most common means of transportation outside is bicycles. Before the end of the world, you can't see any electric bikes that were popular in large and medium-sized cities across the country. Li Yeling knew it in his heart. It seemed that Wuyun City had relatively sufficient oil reserves, but the electricity energy was not enough to be enough for people to squander in this way.

The faces of people outside the car window are undoubtedly full of vitality. They are either laughing or crying, but without exception, they are full of hope. This is also the commonality of all newly established forces. As long as people who have experienced the pain of the end of the world have a grateful attitude towards ordinary life, whether they are poor or rich. What Li Yeling values ​​is the kind of peace he sees from the faces of these people. This peace is based on the perspective of self-confidence. It seems that no matter how the outside world changes, it will not change their hearts and their lives.

Li Yeling keenly discovered that behind their calm and confident, there is a kind of piety hidden. This piety is just like Christians who may not be respectful to this spiritual idol in their words when talking about their God, but there is a kind of perseverance that can give everything for it.

And the source of this piety, needless to say, at the end of this street, the majestic and majestic Buddha statue can explain everything.

According to Wang Jun, this street starts from the west-facing entrance and leads to the foot of Mount Wutai, located at the easternmost part of the city, which is fifteen kilometers long. At the end of this street is the towering and towering Buddha statue at the foot of Mount Wutai. This Buddha statue can be seen from fifteen kilometers away, and we can also imagine how majestic this Buddha statue is.

In fact, this giant cement-covered Buddha statue, which is as high as 135 meters, has become the tallest building in the entire Wuyun City, and even the city lord's mansion building in Wuyun City is slightly inferior.

Of course, Li Yeling did not know these details, but this did not prevent him from seeing the facts from all angles. The construction of this Buddha statue must be extremely wasteful of money. Not to mention that Wang Jun learned a lot from Li Yeling that the layer of copper wrapped outside consumed all the savings of Wuyun City. The refugees who fled to Wuyun City and the surrounding small villages were searched for all the copper utensils on their bodies. For a long time, paying a certain amount of copper products can become protected people under Wuyun City, which has become an unwritten rule.

From this we can see how much effort the entire Wuyun City has put into worshiping Buddhas. In all the small villages that Li Yeling passed by before, there must be a small temple with a small scale but complete body.

It was originally developed by Danan Zen Temple. It would be strange if you disrespect the Buddha. Moreover, from the expressions of these people now and the small Buddha statues hanging on their necks, these people have been greatly influenced by Buddhism.

When the vehicle moved forward, when it reached an intersection in front, it turned to the right and into a quiet alley. As soon as it entered this alley, the ten feet of worldly world outside, the noisy and vanity disappeared immediately, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet. Only the wind could be heard passing through the branches of the birch forest. This alley, called Xiangzimiao Street, is only about five meters wide, with low buildings on both sides, and the highest is about three or five floors. Most of the alleys are located in warehouses. Therefore, the flow of people is not large, and it is very quiet.

Wang Jun's voice came from the intercom: "Sir, we are now staying at the inn on Xiangzimiao Street for one night. This inn and we stayed in Kinmen Town last night. I believe you are used to staying there. Settling down first, I will contact someone to sell all the goods. The whole process may take two or three days, do you see?"

Li Yeling said: "You arrange yours, don't worry about me. After you settle down later, I will take the initiative myself. If you do your own thing, just go to the Tiger Head Tribe to hand in the service. I will contact you again at that time."

"good."

After a while, there was indeed a family in front of me that was exactly the same as the ancient inn in Kinmen Town yesterday. Wang Jun was obviously familiar with the people here and quickly settled everything.

After Li Yeling entered, he prepared for some time. Ten minutes later, three people dressed in desert gray camouflage combat uniforms dressed in soldiers quietly slipped out from the back door of the inn. This time, Li Yeling just wanted to go out for a walk, so he didn't take the orc team. It would not be too late to call them when he set out to Phoenix City.

Military uniforms can be said to be the most popular dress in the entire apocalypse. Just like mercenaries and warriors in some novels from other worlds, soldiers have become an indispensable part of this chaotic world after the end of the apocalypse, and are the most colorful note in the symphony of the entire era.
To be continued...
