Being able to open your arms and let the other party find out how many deadly weapons you carry on your body represents the trust and friendship of the people in the hive city.

Many transactions, negotiations, and calculations can also be completed secretly through the "sign language" hidden under the cloak.

Sure enough, the two held hands for a while, laughed at the same time, lifted up their cloaks, and embraced each other passionately.

"Old Yu, you're not dead yet!" The contact person slapped Zhou Chong on the shoulder hard enough to kill a tiger and leopard.

"Tengu, even if you die, I won't die!" Zhou Chong responded with a bear hug that could crush his spine.

This is meeting an old friend.

For hunters, the nest city has a very special meaning.

In Dragon City, the most popular extraordinary profession is hunter.

Join the Power Rangers or simply go alone, go deep into the wilderness, dance on the blade, without any restrictions, rely solely on your fists, swords, blood and brains to make a living. As long as you have the ability and a little bit of luck, you can become famous overnight.

, soaring through the ranks, how free and refreshing!

In order to manage a large number of free and unorganized hunters, the Extraordinary Tower established the "Hunter Association", which is responsible for training, assessment, and allocating hunting areas and tasks. Of course, it can also coordinate conflicts between different extraordinary teams and encounter large-scale battles.

Or when the doomsday beast appears, several to hundreds of different Power Rangers can be organized and put into the battlefield at the same time.

However, the most important responsibility of the Hunter-Killer Association is to collect money.

"Although the Extraordinary Ones are unparalleled, without the firepower and logistical support provided by the Red Dragon Army, and without the support of tens of millions of Dragon City citizens, it would be impossible to survive and fight in the depths of the fog with just their own strength.

"Therefore, a large part of the harvest of the hunters should be shared by all Longcheng citizens."

Based on this theory, every time a hunter kills a monster, he must spend one-third to one-half of the harvest in the form of "hunting tax, special resource collection tax, hunter association management fee, extraordinary tower

Construction tax, Red Dragon Army construction tax, special national debt, etc., etc. are paid in the name of etc. The higher the realm, the higher the tax rate. The tax rate for strong people in the divine realm often exceeds 70%.

Recently, Dragon City has launched a "comprehensive renovation of old communities" and a "nutritious three meals for all teenagers" plan, which has imposed even more taxes and fees on extraordinary people, especially predators who are fighting on the front line of business.

On the other hand, many monsters, especially the rare hell beasts and even the doomsday beasts, the materials in their bodies are unique strategic materials. It does not mean that hunters can sell them to whomever they want, but

After unified acquisition by Chaofan Tower, it is used where it is most needed according to the needs and importance of each department and project.

This kind of exclusive buying and selling method often fails to reach the market price and cannot satisfy the hunters who lick blood from the knife edge.

For the overall development of Dragon City, high taxes and fees, as well as exclusive purchases and sales, are both reasonable and necessary.

Human civilization is an inseparable whole. Without the strong backing of the general public and the Red Dragon Army, it is indeed impossible to defeat the monster civilization by relying on hunters alone.

But for hunters, they risk their lives, pay the price of being bruised and bruised, and even watch their comrades die tragically in the mouth of the monster. There may still be a lot of hidden wounds left. After finally killing the monster, they have to hand over more than half of it in vain.

Materials, feeling psychologically unbalanced is also human nature.

As time goes by, there will always be people who have to take advantage of the situation.

Forget about the flesh and blood of swords, halberds, demon pigs and armored rhinoceros, which are bulky, heavy, but relatively cheap in value.

Once they encounter small but priceless rare materials, such as crystallized nerve balls of monsters, heart blood, eyeballs, spinal cord, etc., hunters often do not declare them to the Hunter Association.

Instead, he hid it secretly, took it to the black market in the nest city, and secretly exchanged it for the resources he wanted.

Or exchange them for chips for the various monster arenas in the nest city, and gamble in the arena.

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, the key point is to cleanse all the chips. When the Transcendent Tower audits all the Transcendents next year, there will be no worries about the unknown origin of huge amounts of property.

This gray industrial chain connected by smuggled monster materials is an important economic pillar of Nest City.

How could the Survival Committee and Transcendent Tower not know this little trick of the Hunter?

But if the water is clear, there will be no fish. If we severely crack down on smuggling and black market transactions, on the one hand, it will severely dampen the enthusiasm of hunters. People will not be able to work hard, and "Buddhist hunting" and Chaofan Tower will not be able to do it.

On the other hand, if the hunters don't come to trade on the black market, the food, drink, gambling, and prosperous tertiary industry in Nest City will all come to an end.

You must know that most of the nearly one million people in Chao City rely on the tertiary industry to make a living.

Countless Dragon City citizens who are stressed out and depressed by zombies and monsters have to go to the nest city every now and then to relieve their stress so that they can continue to survive in this cruel alien world.

Destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs and almost the only outlet for lower-class citizens will do no good to today's Dragon City.

Therefore, as long as the hunters and gang members in the nest city don't go too far, the survival committee and the Transcendent Tower can only turn a blind eye.

In fact, it was also based on this consideration that the authorities chose to let senior hunters form the first wave of arrests.

"Man-Eating Shark" Zhou Chong and the others were frequent visitors to the black market in Chao City in the past. They have a deep relationship here and are brothers to many gang members. They cooperate with each other and have a relatively tacit understanding.

"What's going on now?"

The two finally let go of each other, and Zhou Chong asked the contact person named "Tengu".

"Yesterday, Su Lun, the 'Red Eyebrow' of the Gold Tooth Gang, brought the message from Lord Jin, saying that hundreds of outside thieves came to the Golden Tooth Nest City, and there were also people who secretly opened a banned drug factory here. These thieves

After taking banned drugs, everyone becomes crazy and has infinite strength?"

Tengu said, "Whether it's the Golden Tooth Gang or gangs like us, everyone hates thieves and gangsters who don't follow the rules of the world, especially those guys who use banned drugs to burn out their brains.

"Everyone comes out here just to make money and make money by being friendly. These bastards are causing trouble in Golden Teeth Nest City, which means destroying everyone's jobs, even your hunters' sales channels...

Bar?

"What's more, even Mr. Jin, who has not been seen for a long time, spoke personally.

"Then all gangs will naturally be mobilized to launch a comprehensive investigation of the entire Golden Teeth Nest City.

"That's what we think. The other party committed hundreds of robberies outside at once and robbed a large amount of cultivation resources. Naturally, they would go to the black market in the nest city to sell the stolen goods.

"If the stolen goods are not sold, they will be directly used as raw materials to refine new 'magic capsules'.

"Refining a large number of magical capsules naturally requires a large-scale workshop, factory, or at least a well-equipped laboratory.

"Judging from our experience in refining various types of genetic medicines, during the refining process, a large amount of waste gas and waste water will be produced, and a lot of spiritual energy will be consumed.

"So, we focused on investigating hundreds of black markets, laboratories and private workshops of various sizes in Chao City.

"Especially in areas where private medicine refining workshops are densely populated, we collected groundwater samples there for analysis. As a result, we found that the underground wastewater in three areas contained ingredients suspected of being the 'Shenbian Capsule'."

There are a lot of mad scientists dormant in the hive city.

As well as the crazy cultivators who try to use genetic medicine to break through the limits of life.

The alchemists here are more professional than outsiders think.

"Because you have reminded us not to alert the enemy, we do not dare to conduct a large-scale search, nor do we dare to go too deep into these areas."

Tengu continued, "Currently we only know that these areas are in the 'three no matter' zones at the junction of the major gangs' spheres of influence. There are many 'lone wolves' who do not belong to each gang. At most, two or three people can establish

A small underground laboratory or black workshop, we are not sure which underground black workshop the target you are looking for is hiding in."

"It doesn't matter. Being able to narrow the search range to such a small area has saved us a lot of trouble. Next, it's up to us!"

"Man-Eating Shark" Zhou Chong said, "Everyone is ready to debug the 'Neural Tactical Data Link System', check the surrounding environment, and lock on two known targets."

Meng Chao, like the senior hunters, rolled his eyes, dilated his pupils, and concentrated.

With the interaction of neural data, the walls of the surrounding warehouses seemed to become transparent, and their sight could pass through the walls unimpeded and see the panoramic view outside.

The layers of illegal buildings stacked on top of each other, like blocks piled up by urchins, grew crazily from all directions, swallowing up large areas of the sky, leaving only vents smaller than patios.

The mottled building facades are covered with colorful graffiti. Many of the graffiti are sprayed with fluorescent paint mixed with monster blood. They exude a strange charm under the dim light, as if they are monsters.

Jump out from the wall.

In order to attract business, the outsides of almost all buildings are covered with neon lights and display screens, or they use extremely charming brushstrokes to outline a fascinating human body, or they play videos of monsters running rampant and knocking each other to pieces.

The scene of being pierced and torn is both bloody and exciting.

Many young men wearing cloaks, spring pulleys, and ghost masks flashed through the back alleys with lightning speed. No one knew that there were smuggled materials and blood-stained materials hidden under their cloaks.

Chips, deadly weapons, or crazy banned drugs.

Someone was laughing loudly at the entrance of the Monster Arena, throwing small chips into the invisible sky, and making a "dinging, clanging" sound on the ground.

Someone was crying silently next to the garbage dump. After shedding his last tear, he clenched his fists and walked toward the depths of darkness with a fierce look in his eyes.

Countless grotesque scenes all exude abnormal, monstrous, and uncontrollable vitality.
