Chapter 102 (1/2)

”Alan, where can I get accessories? My boat needs repairing.” Xia Fei asked.

Allen raised his finger to the huge spotlight outside the window. The inside of the stone was dark. The super large spotlight was like an artificial sun, which distinguished day from night.

”It's getting dark. There's a rule in the red stone base. After dark, everyone must go back to their home. They are not allowed to wander outside. If you want to buy the equipment you need, you have to wait until tomorrow.” Said Alan.

”Curfew?” Xia Fei asked curiously, ”isn't this free port? Why is there a curfew? ”

Alan laughs, ”freedom? No place can be truly free. The reason why red stone base is called free port is that no matter who can come here to do business, even prisoners, pirates and drug addicts, you are welcome here. ”

”But it doesn't mean that there are no restrictions on the base. The people of Ning family here are the rules. Anyone who disobeys their control will be punished. Recently, the Ning family and a group of Pirates called owls have been very unhappy. More than a dozen people have been killed in the base. Therefore, the people of the Ning family patrol every night and are very strict with strangers.”

Xia Fei nodded, ”more than a dozen people died one after another, but I think the atmosphere on the street is very normal, people still work and eat the same, no one seems nervous.”

”Don't be silly.” Allen patted Xia Fei on the shoulder. ”There are no good people living in the red stone base. It's nothing to die a few people. The only people who are nervous are Ning family, because they are all their bodyguards and mercenaries.”

Xia Fei and Allen chatted for a while. From the conversation, Xia Fei learned that there were nearly 30000 people living in the Hongshi base, of which only 10000 were long-term residents. The rest were all businessmen, prostitutes and wanted criminals.

There is not even a planet suitable for human survival in such a vast wilderness star region. There are only man-made living spaces similar to the red stone base.

Hongshi base in the wilderness star region can only be considered as medium-sized, some large-scale bases even more than 100000 people, including all kinds of schools, personnel composition is extremely complex.

There is no trade between the human alliance and the Zerg, so the wild star region, which connects the two forces of the universe, has become an active stage for businessmen. They sell the food, textiles, coffee, and wine produced by human beings to the Zerg, and then buy a large number of ores from the Zerg and transport them back to the human alliance. The profits are very good.

The Zerg control the vast majority of the spirit heart and the production of crystal nucleus ore in the universe. On the Zerg side, a bottle of good wine can exchange nearly one gram of spirit heart. However, if one gram of ore is transported back to the human alliance, it can be sold for tens of thousands of star coins, which is hundreds of times the profit.

Most of the insects don't consume coffee and wine. These barbaric lower creatures and animals are not different. However, there are some high-level insects living in the Zerg. These insects have the same behavior habits as human beings. They are addicted to alcohol and lead a luxurious and wild life.

Although this kind of illegal border trade can be called profiteering, it also contains great risks. The wild star region is just like its name. It is desolate, savage and changeable.

Such things as the sudden interruption of communication signals, the unexplained disappearance of ships, and the robbery by pirates are common in the eyes of the local people. In fact, there are only a few ships that are buried in Xinghai every year, because there are too many.

Businessmen have the nature of pursuing profits. Every year, a large number of Terran and Zerg businessmen come here to do business at the risk of their lives. The myth of getting rich overnight happens every day. However, people don't know that overnight wealth is only the patent of a few people. There are many losers hidden behind every rich businessman.

A moment later, the huge spotlight finally went out, and Alan asked Shafei and Sara to eat in the living room.

Alan took out some old ceramic dishes, which were carefully hidden in the deep cabinet, covered with dust. It was obvious that Allen took care of these porcelain, and rarely used them.

”Eat this again? Didn't you just make a lot of money from Xiafei? When can we buy some real vegetables and eggs? I'm full of bluegrass Sarah grabs a handful of pudding out of the basin and pours it into her mouth, complaining discontentedly.

Alan reaches out to hit Sara's arm, but his action is not as fast as Sarah's, and she escaped.

”What does it look like? We have guests here today. Can't you behave yourself? ” Alan said with a sigh.

”Guest.” Sarah took a mouthful of pudding and waved her hand to old Ellen. ”You said you would kill Xia Fei at noon today. How can he become a guest again

Old Allen was a little embarrassed. He turned his lips and said, ”business belongs to business, and business with us is the guest. I haven't asked you. Why did you give me ten white dew?”

Sarah shrugged. ”That's my salary. Of course, I'll take it off first.”

Old Allen shook his head heavily. ”You child.”

Xia Fei smiles and takes out a few pieces of chocolate, boxes of canned beef, a large bag of plums and a bottle of wine from the space ring.Sarah once asked Xia Fei to hide the ring, but Xia Fei thought it was very inconvenient to do so, so she just reversed the side with the space stone. In this way, from the appearance, it became an ordinary ring. Unless someone opened Xia Fei's palm, no one would find it.

”Chocolate!” Sarah said in surprise, ripping open the package a few times and filling a large piece of chocolate into her mouth, excited like a child.

”Eat slowly. Don't choke. I have more here.” Xia Fei said with a smile.

A girl like Sarah is the easiest to satisfy. A few chocolates will make her happy to the sky. If she is a girl growing in the city, she will frown and say, ”sorry, I'm losing weight. I only eat one apple a day.”

You can't satisfy them without cars, house tickets, and even if you do, they will think it's what you should do and never be grateful.

After eating a piece of chocolate, Sarah licked her lips with satisfaction, and slipped the rest into her pocket for later.
