Return from the second dimension

As soon as Tang Zhen appeared, he was noticed by a lazy child and quickly reminded his companions loudly.

Seeing Tang Zhen's weapons on his back, these people showed a vigilant and flustered expression, and they subconsciously hid something under the sand.

Several men rushed forward, deliberately revealing their weapons, to warn Tang Zhen not to provoke them.

Bandits are rampant in this area, and their arrogant figures can often be seen, and robberies also happen from time to time. Ordinary people suffer from it, so they are full of guard against strangers.

Tang Zhen naturally noticed the expressions on these people's faces, but some information still needs to be obtained from these aborigines, so even though the other's attitude was already very obvious, Tang Zhen took the initiative to lean in.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just lost, I want to ask about some things."

Tang Zhen raised his hands to explain, and then took out a few shiny coins from his pocket and threw them to the man who looked like the leader.

This is the spoils collected from the ancient ship sand bandits, made of special materials, and contains a very special energy.

The man took the energy coin and looked it up, put it into his pocket, and saw that he was very happy, and his expression became a lot easier.

Looking at Tang Zhen again, the man said solemnly: "Generous stranger, what you want to ask, I will tell you if I know."

Money plays a role everywhere, especially since the energy coins Tang Zhen gave them were comparable to their income from working for a few days, the man's guard was naturally much lighter.

"Tell me what is outside the desert, who is in charge of it, and who should I look for if I want to get information?"

After hearing Tang Zhen's question, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously regarded Tang Zhen as the kind of mercenary who wandered around.

This kind of wandering mercenaries is actually very common. In order to fill their stomachs or improve their strength, they often shuttle between the fragmented continents. Compared with those fierce bandits, these people are obviously better to speak.

Perhaps the young man in front of him is a bounty hunter who specializes in hunting down bandits and earning commissions. He lost his way in the starfall desert in order to hunt down the ancient ship sand bandits.

Listening to the man's narration, combined with the memories he had acquired from the ancient ship sand bandits, Tang Zhen learned specific information about the edge of the desert.

There is no unified government in this world. Most places belong to private domains. For example, the city on the edge of the desert is controlled by a guy named Gurgaon, the "Transformer".

His strength is very strong, he controls a lot of wandering mercenaries, here is not much different from the earth emperor.

The old sand bandits of the ancient ship only entered the starfall desert whenever a meteor appeared because of Gurgaon’s reward order, looking for a reward that would allow them to exchange a large amount of reward.

Because Gurgaon was so obsessed with his transformation experiments and was not in the mood to manage his own territory, the public security environment here was extremely chaotic. Fights broke out in towns every day, and dead people were more common.

If Tang Zhen wanted to obtain information, he would naturally contact those mercenaries and businessmen who traveled to and fro the fragmented world. Only they could have the most complete and timely information.

In cities and towns, there are more than one such places, some are in the open state, and some are secret organizations that ordinary people can't reach, and Tang Zhen needs to look for them carefully.

The two talked for more than ten minutes, and Tang Zhen obtained all the information he wanted, and at the same time he also knew why these people were searching for sand here.

It turns out that special metals from outside the sky are buried in these sands, but this kind of metal is very small and inconspicuous in the sand. It needs careful discrimination to find it.

This is a very hard job. I often get cuts and sometimes I can't find a few special metals in a busy day.

Because this special metal can be used to manufacture advanced weapons and equipment, or to manufacture the core parts of precision instruments, it has always had a high price. The largest purchaser is also Gurgaon.

According to the man, there are thousands of people digging for special metals and precious crystals in the desert of falling stars, but most of them are concentrated in farther places. Most of them here are old, weak, sick and disabled, so they can only stay in the marginal area. The harvest is naturally pitiful.

Tang Zhen took a look at the bodies of these people and found that there were cut marks everywhere, especially the hideous wounds on his palms, and the scars had even formed thick calluses.

No matter the old people or children, they all look like this.

"Thanks for telling me, and you'd better dig a place where you are standing, there may be unexpected gains!"

Tang Zhen pointed at the man's feet, with a weird smile on his face.

Seeing Tang Zhen turning away, the man showed a hint of confusion, but he still tried to dig it with tools, because he always felt that Tang Zhen's words were not nonsense.

After only digging a few times, I saw a piece of special metal the size of an egg appeared in front of my eyes, with traces of erosion on the surface.

"This……!"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then he showed ecstasy. He held this heavy piece of metal in his hand and bowed to Tang Zhen who was going away again and again, no matter whether Tang Zhen could hear it or not.

He never dreamed that he would get such a rich return if he just told the other party some information that everyone knew.

With this windfall, they don't have to worry about being hungry for at least a year, and they can even use their surplus money to improve their lives!

Tang Zhen, who was going away, naturally heard the cheers of the poor people, but he didn't care about it at all. This incident was nothing but casual to him, not worth mentioning.

In fact, there is a larger piece of special metal nearby, but Tang Zhen did not tell the man, just because it is not a good thing for them, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.

Little wealth is a blessing, but great wealth is very likely to bring disasters, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it!

Moving forward in the desert, Tang Zhen finally reached the edge. A large number of dilapidated buildings with different shapes appeared in front of him. From time to time, you could see wandering passers-by, exuding a decadent atmosphere.

Several men carrying weapons looked at Tang Zhen with scrutinizing eyes, but did not take the initiative to approach. After all, people like Tang Zhen can often see, sometimes hundreds of people appear directly.

Some of them are caravans, some are mercenary groups, and some are bandits who come to the door. Only when this happens can the sentry's attention.

Under the gaze of malicious gazes, Tang Zhen walked through the streets full of garbage and feces, and walked slowly towards the center of the town.

Ten minutes later, Tang Zhen stopped in front of a building that was rebuilt with a scrapped warship, and amidst the lure of the warbler doing business at the door, he opened the door and walked in.

The interior space of this building is very large. There are a lot of seats in the hall of thousands of meters. A man and woman with sturdy expressions are gathering together, looking at the holographic image floating above the head from time to time.

This is a mercenary mission display system that connects the various fragmented continents. It can display the tasks issued by the client in real time. The wandering mercenaries will accept tasks according to their own strength and run back and forth on the fragmented continents.

This is a special world. From time to time, you can see the shadows of high-tech items. People can even travel between various fragmented continents through transport ships, but no one cares about infrastructure and ordinary people’s lives. The sceneries in many remote places are almost the same as those in the Middle Ages. same.

Tang Zhen walked to an empty table and ordered a piece of food from the waiter with six arms, then silently observed the surroundings, slowly collecting the information he needed.

A few minutes later, Tang Zhen locked down a few men and women who had gathered together. Compared with other wandering mercenaries, these men were undoubtedly better equipped, and their words and deeds were slightly different from other wandering mercenaries.

The waiter sent a bottle of wine to the other party, and when the other party noticed him, Tang Zhen walked over with a smile.
