Just when Hui Jin was very distressed, she suddenly heard a familiar word in her ears.
Is this English?
Although the pronunciation is very strange and the accent is also very strange, there is no doubt that it is English.
Looking back, I found that the sound was coming from a fruit vendor.
Hui Jin walked towards the stall, picked up a piece of fruit with his hand and asked him, "How much does this fruit cost?"
"Nine pounds and 9 pence! This beautiful lady!" The shopkeeper greeted her warmly, but this price was considered a deception in the eyes of the people next to her.
It's obvious that they are here to rip off customers.
It's really English! But fortunately, Hui Jin only came to ask and didn't really want to buy the fruit, otherwise she would have really been tricked.
At the same time, she took out the dollars she had on her to see if she could use them.
But unexpectedly, the other party shook his head.
"Which country's currency is this? I've never seen it before. As a treat, you can change it to another currency or just use red gold."
What is red gold? She was not surprised that the currency could not be used normally.
So Hui Jin took out a small piece of 100 grams of gold from his pocket, but the other party showed an expectant look.
It seems that red gold is gold.
After getting the accurate answer, Ashes dusted himself off and ran away.
He didn't plan to buy fruits or anything like that. There was no shortage of this material for them for the time being. They had vitamin supplement pills that could prevent scurvy and physical disorders. It wasn't really worth it to exchange precious supplies for fruits.
Moreover, the other party was clearly trying to trick them, and everyone around them seemed to be laughing at themselves.
Hui Jin is a unique elite in the counter-terrorism industry. Observing people's emotions and observing the surroundings is a required course for her.
How could the boss's expression of wanting to trick her be hidden from Hui Jin's eyes?
After observing, Hui Jin saw through the opponent's boss's tricks at a glance.
Chapter 492 Dialectical thinking is required
But she didn't directly scold her. Maybe some of her people would have to live here for a long time, and they couldn't leave a bad impression on the local residents here.
The behavior should not be too high-profile, otherwise it would be very troublesome if it arouses the prying eyes of the official forces in the area.
Because he is incompatible with the people around him.
Hui Jin walked to an alley and began to summarize his observations.
It would have been easier to say that it was an ancient society, but after her observation, Ashes found out.
There are already external forces involved here.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for primitive society and technological society to coexist.
The current situation in this area reminded him of a term.
colonial.
and a company name.
East India Company.
A high-rise building located in the center of this small town is the most conspicuous building in the city.
Ashes couldn't even see the sun when he raised his head. The length of the shadow cast by the sun on this tall building could cover the entire town.
After investigation, she discovered that there was a steady stream of miners-like professionals transporting various huge stones into the production company.
These miners wear equipment similar to chemical protective suits, which looks very tiring in the sun.
Having just finished transporting a wave of raw materials, they couldn't help but take off their thick equipment and lie down under the big tree to enjoy the cool air.
If my guess is correct, this town should be a colony of a certain country.
After more than half an hour, Rainbow Team gathered near the agreed place.
One after another, they comprehensively summarized the information they had and verified each other.
Chariot was the first to speak: "There is a large local feudal aristocratic family here. It used to be the largest local snake in charge of this area, but things took a turn three years ago. It was introduced under the records of the official power in charge of this country. The Scorpio Group, a huge international capital group.
Almost all the corrupt old forces in this area were destroyed with the force of thunder, and they were beaten back to their original form. Now, except for their own family's original industry, they basically have no authority over this area. "
Flash smiled and said: "It seems that the so-called Scorpio Group is doing well. I don't think they seem to be maliciously exploiting the people here."
Chariot leaned under a dead tree and said thoughtfully: "They are all the same. Before I really saw the truth, I still had doubts about what they did, but at least it looked on the face of it. , they are helpful to the development of this area.”
The chariot comes from a country founded by the noblest ideals of mankind, but this country was destroyed by the most despicable greed of mankind.
Chariot hates capital and imperialism, but he is not brainless because dialectical thinking is rooted in his soul.
Mindlessly smearing an idea or a system is a very irrational behavior. It also depends on the environment in which this idea or system is located.
"People here treat us like rich kids. If we're not careful, we won't be able to live here for more than three days with enough money."
Everyone lowered their heads slightly, and they were also thinking about how to communicate with the local people here.
Hui Jin spread his hands: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's first try to communicate with them with normal people's thinking. We will try our best to bargain for the goods that can be bargained for. At the same time, we will ask the official staff what the normal prices are here. What does it look like?”
So the Rainbow Team started to make a living here.
Then after two or three days, the first person found a job.
"To be honest, raising these bugs is just like raising a pet dog. There is nothing difficult about it."
On a farm, a chariot wearing a helmet dropped buckets of feed into a fence.
While fighting back, he hummed an unknown song.
It was as if he had returned to his boyhood.
Since the chariot's working hours were perfect, the towering building just blocked the sun when he was working.
Basically, the afternoon working hours are covered by shadows, so he doesn't need to take off his heavy helmet.
This is simply his perfect job.
And you can earn 20 loaves of bread for one day's work.
Feeding a team of them is no problem at all.
Shuanghua went hunting nearby. She bought crossbows that are commonly used by people in this world. She couldn't use the bows and arrows because she really couldn't pull them.
You can only buy more expensive crossbow arrows.
Blitz and Ashes couldn't find a job for the time being, so they took on the task of investigating the customs, customs and terrain of this area.
At the same time, he was observing the Scorpio Group, the real ruler of this land.
It's becoming more and more like the East India Company, except that the things they do are much kinder than the colonial company.
During these days of observation, Ashes discovered some waves hidden under this peaceful town.
That is, the original small nobles in this area seemed to have some criticisms of the Scorpio Group.
The guards of their family often clashed with the guards in this area, basically a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days.
But fortunately, it did not cause any waves and was quickly suppressed, but was quickly fished out by members of their family.
Most people just see the joke on both sides.
"I have to go inside this company to find out the information. Are they really just here to build a factory?"
Ashes came to the door of the company, and now there is a recruitment advertisement hanging in front of the company's door.
Recruiting a strong security guard requires sufficient fighting skills and the ability to mediate disputes.
Hui Jin touched his smooth chin and thought for a moment.
Counter-terrorism officers can also be considered as mediators in disputes...
perhaps.......
Probably a ghost!
Hui Jin looked at the long queue of applicants and decided to give it a try.
Anyway, you won't lose any meat if you try it. If it really succeeds, it can reduce the burden on the team.
.......
At this time in a dark corner.
In a collapsed cave.
A wrinkled old man lifted the stone covering his body and woke up, wearing a white coat.
His face was full of madness and fanaticism.
He didn't have the kindness and kindness of ordinary old people at all, as if he had escaped from a mental hospital.
"It's not good. I've lost too much blood. I've been unconscious for too long. There are signs of slight bone fractures in my legs. It's impossible for me to run out of this hole with my ability. I'm still waiting for rescue..."
The old man in a white coat lay on the rubble, thinking about what he thought was the most rational and perfect plan.
But it wasn't long before the sound of shovels prying stones apart reached his ears.
Someone seems to be discovering something?
Hearing this voice, the man in the white coat had a strange smile on his lips.
Chapter 493 The physical fitness of the Terran people
"What kind of monster-like physical fitness are these? What kind of world is this?"
After some testing, Ashes looked at his own evaluation.
What can be said about Ashes is his confident physical fitness, as if he is like a baby in front of the locals here.
She didn't even pass! Everyone here basically passes.
In other words, she ranks last in terms of strength.
She wasn't even as good as the scrawny beggar who took the test.
