When Xiao Lu heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Why is the Great Ocean?"

"This..." Cui Ming said: "Because the ocean is big."

Xiao Lu said: "If this is the case, I would choose Beiyang. Now Beiyang is an unmanned land, and scientific research ships and personnel are prohibited from entering. The buffer zone has deepened by a hundred kilometers. The snake has been sleeping underground by the wandering seal."

Cui Ming suddenly remembered that when he and Beiyue went to the Arctic, about a day after the Dragon Girl left, the crow appeared in front of him and provided him with a lot of food and daily necessities, seeing that the food was all food that could be preserved for a long time. At that time, he guessed that the Fire Cult had a temporary stronghold nearby to observe the situation in the Arctic so that he could react quickly. Now he thought, could the crow's den be in Beiyang?

Beiyang is not too big, long, with an area of ​​only 20% of the ocean and more than 4,000 islands. Beiyang has always been an alliance buffer zone, and it is not recommended to conduct trade on Beiyang routes. It can also be regarded as an unmanned land. At the same time, Beiyang has no navy, and Twilight originally planned to attack Bei % without any mistakes. However, in the Battle of Shadow Island, the elite troops were lost. In addition, due to the dragon attack and the cold weather, it is possible to build a den there that will not be discovered for decades.

The Huo Alliance countries have two sea ports in the Beiyang. These two sea ports provide trade transportation needs for the mid-mainland China. They are also very important internal trade transportation means of Huo Alliance. They can directly bypass the Spark Desert and allow Huo Alliance to realize internal trade between the eastern and western city-states of Huo Alliance at a low cost. A small boat went off the line and transported materials, food, and coal to the destination... It seems that no one would find it.

Xiao Lu’s reminder was right and very reasonable. Although it is more hidden and safe in the ocean, the Beiyang is dark under the light. Moreover, the Beiyang is not small, with more than 4,000 islands, and it is not something that a few people can find. Once there are many people, the news will inevitably leak, and the crow must have a backup plan to retreat.

Not bad, not bad, good place, retreat can retreat to the Fire Alliance countries and Spark Deserts, so that the crows always control the initiative.

Kong Huanxi, he conjectured that the hiding area that the crow might use, but the search was too difficult. There were fewer people going, how to find the vast ocean? There were too many people going, so he ran away in advance. Do you have to spend decades to search the Beiyang slowly? You are full!

Cui Ming took out the map and the only clue was the time when he met the dragon girl in the North Pole and then met the crow again. There were 15 hours in total. The dragon girl first arrived at a certain location and the crow came to find him. Two hours could be deducted in the middle because the two had to talk, prepare things, and they had to make some decisions. Thirteen hours, that would be six and a half hours.

Under normal circumstances, the speed of the practitioners walking around is about the same. Cui Ming calculated based on Beiyue as the standard and then drew a circle on the map. This circle is quite good. Not only did most of the Beiyang area be included, but the land of the three continents are also included.

Li Qing had an idea next to him: "Can you start with the procurement ship? The demand for coal must be very high, and there is also food demand."

"I don't know the location... the only way is to stare at the two ports, each ship tracking to see if there are ships that deviate from the route." It's difficult. The Huo Alliance has a large population, and 60% of the trade in the world is by sea. In addition to cargo, there are also passenger ships, fishing boats, etc. Cui Ming said: "According to my understanding of crows, he will not do something in a hurry. I think this hiding place has been prepared for a long time. Maybe it's not for use now, but just to provide a backup plan. According to this inference, this hiding place is very hidden and difficult to find. At the same time, a large amount of materials, such as coal, must have been hoarded."

Xiao Lu said: "But the food is not good. You may eat compressed biscuits, air-dried meat, etc. for a month or two. But vegetables are absolutely indispensable. Even with refrigeration technology, vegetables can be replenished at least once a month. Thousands of years ago, when there was no vegetable preservation technology, seafarers were prone to septicemia. Vegetables must not be missing."

"Can you grow it yourself?" Cui Ming denied that there are many people, at least 10 or 20 people. Such a large number of people rely on cultivation and planting vegetables to obtain food, and another group of people are needed to grow vegetables. Cui Ming said: "It is an extraordinary time now. The crow has not killed me, so I must be very vigilant. According to his personality, if vegetables, fruits and melons must be supplemented, I don't think ordinary people will be used, but practitioners."

A practitioner carries hundreds of kilograms, and as long as the size does not interfere with it, it will not interfere with the practitioner. Except for the person who is equivalent to the Force, Cui Ming.

Cui Ming said: "Leopard Girl, we are going to two ports to guard Leopard Girl."

Li Qing opposed: "Is it useful to squat? You will definitely be discovered after following it to the sea. We cannot force the leopard girl."

Cui Ming said: "Then get rid of her."

Xiao Lu hurriedly said, "I will make it clear first. I just guessed that it was not in the ocean, but more likely in the Beiyang." Xiao Lu knew the battle between Crow and Cui Ming at this level.

Sometimes the situation that can break the smart people is ordinary people. The idea is simple, not too tortuous and complicated, but can point the key points of the problem. Either three cobblers are equal to Zhuge Liang. Or they also say that one person is a dragon, three people are insects, or they also say that three monks have no water to drink.

Cui Ming smiled: "Evelyn has a trick. She can track her prey. If she helps, it may not be impossible. So, we will divide into two groups and two ports. If the leopard girl appears in a certain port and Evelyn is in another port, then we will not disturb her."

Li Qing said: "Junior brother, this strategy is a bit passive."

Cui Ming said: "Helpless, there is no other good way."

"That's OK, but we still have to pull a few thugs. I don't know what's going on with the crow."

Xiao Lu said again: "I'm not sure it's Beiyang, I'll just say it."

I really don’t know where it is, and I don’t have any sense of direction. Cui Ming only knows that it is at sea by purchasing materials, because some materials have to withstand seawater corrosion. As long as I get close to the sea, anything may be corroded by seawater. Cui Ming must be the ocean, which is exactly... I think the ocean makes sense. The Beiyang looks more similar, and at least it is more convenient to replenish. I have no choice but to try it first.

The good news is that if the Leopard Girl appears in two ports, it means that Beiyang is right.

...

Five days later, Cui Ming, Evelyn and Li Qing came to Glo Port. Xiao Lu, Wei Wei and Ye Ying went to Boer Port. Ye Ying was brought by Cui Ming. He called and said that Ye Ying was needed. Ye Xin didn't ask what to do, but just asked how urgent it was and where it was. He told Ye Ying that everything was followed by Cui Ming's command. Glo and Boer Port are two port cities, and the two cities with the most developed commerce and commerce in the Fire Alliance. The coastline is 1,500 nautical miles long, which is equivalent to bypassing the Spark Desert.

The Huo Alliance planned to build a railway around the Spark Desert decades ago, but because of the funds, technology and the alliance's trade agreement, the plan was still alive.

Originally, Cui Ming thought that the Fire Alliance countries were similar, but when you went to Glou Port, there was a big difference. Although Glou Port still retains religious customs, its values ​​have undergone tremendous changes. To put it bluntly, it has degenerated. Everything is based on economic interests. Is your piousness not the standard for mother-in-law to determine you, are you rich? Do you have a house? What about your father and mother? Will it drag your family after marriage? And so on.

There are many smuggling ships in Glo, and there are a large area of ​​ships outside the port. Some of them are smuggling ships opened in the eastern part of the Western Continent, western part of the Central Continent, and the Nordo City. Because the embargo on the trade agreement has brought huge profit margins to smuggling. Normally, there is no customs tax in the world, and normal trade is not a space for smugglers to survive... By the way, except for salt, this thing cannot be bought across villages, why is salt? What's wrong with it?

This population is much larger than Cui Ming thought. The fish market is next to the port, and there is no end to see it when it goes down. Buyers are negotiating prices. Most of them are smugglers. There are delicious fish that are not available in the Globe Port for 200 nautical miles. They are called goldfish. The meat of this fish is more expensive than gold. But this fish does not stay in other places, and lives in the Globe Port for a large number of breeding. Due to the embargo of the trade agreement, salvage and smuggling goldfish have become one of the most popular industries in the local area.

There are also spices transported from mainland city-states, which are also the top luxury goods. Special mahogany, tequila in a certain city-state, etc. are all not available in the three continents.

The government of Glo Port does not care about smuggling. They collect taxes on ships and how much does each ship cost to the port. They are only responsible for maintaining public order. Trade agreements are nothing here. Alliances cannot manage these, so they can only be responsible for the customs and anti-smuggling of their own countries.

Because of the development of commerce and trade, there are a lot of wealthy people. Even if you can apply for a labor permit to work in this port, your income will be quite high. Because the wealthy people have to pursue life enjoyment, some low-level labor will be hired to do it. (It should be noted that Cui Ming believes that labor is not distinguished from the high and low.) It’s just that applying for a labor permit is very difficult. Therefore, schools, residences, communities, golf courses, etc. are indispensable.

Because of the alliance's embargo, Glou became one of the richest cities in the Fire Alliance and one of the top ten population cities in the Fire Alliance.

Cui Ming, the idiot, didn't know this situation. In his imagination, Glou should be a small town, and there were some dilapidated wharfs, some shops along the street, many wooden boats on the sea, and at most one or two hotels, with a population of no more than 50,000. But the fact is that Glou's population exceeded three million, so Cui Ming was shocked and caught blindly. Three million people went to find Leopard Girl?

Why didn't Cui Ming hear that this is a negative energy in the alliance? Because of the embargo order of the trade agreement, the alliance has developed coldly, ignored it, and turned a blind eye. Even Evelyn and Li Qing didn't know that. The three of them went to the city and stood on the road in the middle of the city and looked at the tall buildings from left to right. They were stunned.

Looking left and right, although Glo Port is not as large as Chuxiao City's population and perfect public facilities, Glo has already appeared in the prototype of a modern city. In less than twenty years, it will not be worse than Chuxiao City today. (To be continued.)
