48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng smiled and didn't have much to do with the problem.

And five minutes later, all the people on patrol tonight arrived downstairs, and the entire patrol consisted of twelve men, generally divided into two groups, one responsible for daytime policing and the other for night patrols, so that both groups could rest.

However, a 12-member patrol is already insignificant for such a large area, let alone divided into two parts, and there are not even many Blacktail Snakes.

And these people are old, young, they don't even have a lot of good fighting experience, except for Alice, the captain with the broken legs, who went to war.

In fact, the people who would have been assigned to this area would have meant that they had been abandoned, either for making a mistake, or for offending some big person, and besides that, they did not rule out some bad luck that had no way of getting there, and were dispatched here in vain.

And once we get here, it's hard to walk again.

In fact, it is not that Alice and others have not tried, after all, that no one wants to stay in a place filled with criminals and chaos, even if they do not think for themselves, but all their efforts have proved futile for some well-known reason.

Aris is kind of a more responsible captain. When he first came here, he also wanted to change the environment. He didn't know how many letters he wrote to the top to react to the problems here, hoping to send more people to allocate funds, but these letters ended up in the middle of nowhere.

He also tried to start from his side, do what he could, influence the people around him a little, and bring order back to this neighborhood.

Yet this is like a huge mud pit, where whoever stands inside and wants to move forward is incredibly difficult, and eventually it only gets deeper and deeper, until it swallows it, and Alice doesn't know how long she can last, and this place is hopeless in his eyes.

“You guys don't look so good.” Zhang Heng opened his mouth and saw Aris take out his armor and put it on neatly before the patrol. This armor was worn when he was on the battlefield before, and then came with him to the patrol. It was well maintained.

However, his five men were less fortunate, and some of them had rusted their armor, or were missing something, and others simply had no armor.

“Because each time we are assessed as the last, it gives us very little money, barely enough, and weapons and armor have to do their own thing.” Aristotle, “do you have armor? ”

“I don't need that kind of thing.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Believe me, if you have one, you'd better wear it, because you'll use it.” But Alice insisted, "I know you're amazing, although I can't see you in the arena, but I guess you must have hit your opponent all over the head, maybe even two at a time, but this is different from the opponent you met during a gladiator show, the gladiator is honorable and doesn't do anything to keep the audience from saying anything, but unlike the people here, fighting probably isn't face-to-face, it can happen anytime, anywhere, maybe people around you suddenly draw knives, you don't know who he is, why stab you. ”

“Thank you, but I can handle the assassination without armor.” Zhang Hengyang raised his eyebrows.

He has been learning and familiarizing himself with the assassin's way of fighting for so long that if he could be stabbed, Dadatis would have taught him for so long.

After all, it was the first time that Alice had met. Alice merely reminded Zhang Heng of his colleague's relationship. The latter did not do as he asked, nor would he be forced to do so. However, the Orientalist had been labeled arrogant in his eyes, so that Alice herself had no hope for Zhang Heng.

In spite of rumours that His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to this Oriental, and yet being assigned here can already explain a lot of things in itself, Aris, out of kindness, cautioned, “Have you offended anyone lately? ”

“Sort of.” Zhang Heng smiled again, but he didn't seem to want to get involved on the issue, so he quickly changed the subject, "you mentioned the rating earlier, can you tell us the specific rules of the rating? ”

This part can be attributed to information that he had not previously been able to hear and that is only available to the members of the patrol.

“Of course, that's what you should know.” Alice nodded, "As you can see, each of our patrols has its own area of responsibility, and every two months they send a statistical check, mainly to see how many crimes have occurred in each region, how many of them have been killed, how many of them have been stolen, whether they have increased or decreased, what the rate of breakdown is, and they randomly draw residents from the region to ask about their satisfaction with security. ”

Aris said, "We're in a very special region, and I'm sure you'll see when you get here that there are a lot of Jews living here, and there are some guys from the Eastern Province, and immigrants from Egypt or Mauritania and other ghosts who know where they're coming from. Some sneaky guys, in short, are very complicated, and so many different people come together in this little place, and there's clashes almost every day between them. ”

“That's not surprising.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Either this robbed the one, or the one who beat this, even among his own people often erupted, and in order not to be bullied, many people chose to hug, and eventually many armed groups emerged, dozens less, hundreds more, and many of them, after mastering enough force, simply went on the path of crime, even the little thieves and gangsters on the road had groups behind them and backed up against the mountains, sometimes you had no idea what kind of trouble you would get into... the patrol had no way of doing it, after all, we were just a cripple, leading a group of people on the brink of disguised exile, and couldn't even get enough pay. ”

Aris had previously been worried about the extent of the deterioration of the security situation here, turning the other way around, but after so many years of life, he had become a little numb, and in his view nobody in the place could solve the problem at all, and unless the army drove directly in and killed everyone, it would always be nothing but a paradise for thieves, villains and murderers.

“Good thing we're patrols, we don't have any oil or water, and normally the criminal forces here won't be watching us, but if you want to live long enough here, remember the principle that you shouldn't be meddling.” Aris warned.
