C22 Strange Fortress
The submersible slowly surfaced, and Lee Liang walked out under Binn's lead.
Only then did Lee Liang see the internal structure of the fortress clearly. The place where the submersible vehicle was parked was like a large circular pool. The tunnel they passed through seemed to be the only way in and out of the fortress.
The top of the fortress was sealed, and there were many lamps.
The interior of the fortress was designed like a miniature version of a town. There were houses everywhere, and one could not see the end at a glance.
Some of the houses were designed neatly, while others were relatively messy, as if they were casually built.
The streets were filled with pedestrians. These pedestrians had stiff expressions on their faces and did not make a sound. Moreover, they were all rather thin and looked malnourished.
"What about my friend and Captain Lu?" Lee Liang felt that this fortress was a little strange, but he could not say it for a moment.
"I don't know where they were taken to. If you want, I can find you a temporary place, okay?" Binn obviously did not want to talk about Yang Ying and the others, so he changed the topic.
There was a problem!
Lee Liang directly refused.
"I should go around by myself and familiarize myself with the environment."
Binn did not force Lee Liang to leave. He handed him a communication device and said that as long as it could be turned on, he would be able to find him. After saying that, he left.
Lee Liang walked around the fortress alone. Almost all the people he met were men. He rarely saw women. Even if he saw them, they were old people or very young children.
Where did all the young women go?
Lee Liang felt that something was amiss. However, judging from Binn's attitude just now, it was obvious that he did not want to talk too much about it.
After the two of them separated, Lee Liang walked alone in the fort. The surrounding people looked at him vigilantly, as if he was a stone thrown into a calm pond, stirring up layers of waves.
"What's wrong with these people?" Lee Liang was puzzled and tried to find someone to ask, but everyone hid from him and kept a certain distance from him, but followed him closely to see where he was going.
This feeling was really strange.
After walking for a while, he came to the front of a bar.
Although it was called a bar, there was actually his own speculation about the cost inside. Because there was a string of empty beer bottles hanging on the door, he could only go in and try his luck.
Lee Liang walked in. Those people who followed him outside did not go in. They just watched the situation inside through the window glass.
This was a single building. Its structure looked very messy. Some parts were damaged or even deformed, and it looked like a dangerous house.
Lee Liang walked into the house. There were a few people sitting inside. There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air, which was similar to what he had guessed.
The innermost part of the house was a bar counter. There were some wine bottles scattered on it, but they were all empty.
"Excuse me..."
"Newcomers?"
Before Lee Liang could finish his sentence, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out. The man had a big beard on his face.
"This is a bar?"
"Are you blind? ___ asked. Did you see the word bar?" Big Beardy was a little unhappy, but he did not completely deny it. "Since you're new here, I'll tell you the rules. I have everything here, but it's not free! "
Big Beardy knocked on the bar with his finger, looking a little impatient.
"I don't have money!" Lee Liang said directly. Ever since he woke up, he had never seen how money in this era looked like.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone in the room was amused by his words. Even the people watching outside laughed.
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Big Beardy laughed, but at the same time, his expression was a little ugly. "Who still needs money to buy things now? Boy, you're not joking with me, are you?"
As he spoke, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive. Lee Liang looked around. There were many traces of fighting on the table and floor. It seemed that the other party was not a good person.
"Gugugugugu ~" At this moment, Lee Liang's stomach started to growl.
As he recovered his appearance, he also recovered his senses. He would feel hungry, but unless he was starving to death, his stomach would not make such sounds.
"Hmph, another hungry ghost!" The bearded man was somewhat disdainful. "I have food here, but you have to exchange it for something. I don't want any useless paper, you came from outside. Give me everything you've brought with you. I can give you half a steamed bun. "
Lee Liang finally understood. Where did this bearded man open a bar? It was clearly a bandit's den. It didn't matter if you had money or not, you had to rob it again and again.
Lee Liang put his hand into his pocket. The surrounding people stared at him. They saw him touch his clothes and pockets, then stretch his hand out. When he opened it, the bearded man kept staring at him, but he didn't see anything in his palm.
"Empty?" The bearded man understood that he had been tricked by Lee Liang.
"I think you don't want your life anymore!" Big Beardy gave the people around him a look. The other people who were sitting immediately stood up and walked towards Lee Liang.
"Humph!" Lee Liang took out the dagger from his waist and slashed at the bar in front of the bearded man.
Although the dagger did not cut the bar in half, it still cut a big hole in the bar. A little further and it would reach Big Beardy.
"Stop, all of you stop!" The bearded man's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He had almost lost his life just now!
"So you are so capable. Why didn't you say so earlier!" The bearded man said with a smile. At the same time, he retreated. Clearly, he was afraid.
"Do you want this dagger of mine?" Lee Liang asked with a smile.
Big Beardy's legs felt weak. Why did he meet such a ruthless character today?
"Get something to eat. I have something to ask you." Lee Liang stopped teasing Big Beardy and put away the dagger. He found a place to sit.
The bearded man called for someone to get something to eat. At the same time, he walked to the door and chased away the onlookers.
"Hehe, may I know how to address this friend?" The bearded man asked with a smile, but he still maintained a certain distance from Lee Liang.
"Lee Liang!"
Someone had already brought a few grains, mantou, and some drinks over.
"We only have these things here. Please don't be angry."
"It's already very good" Lee Liang did not expect to eat anything good. He picked up a steamed bun and ate it.
"Let me ask you something."
"Okay, okay. As long as I know, I will tell you."
"Why haven't I seen any young women here?"
Lee Liang was eating and casually asked the question that he was most concerned about. Unexpectedly, Big Beardy and the surrounding people's expressions changed drastically.
Big Beardy called for someone to close the door.
"Shh, lower your voice. This matter cannot be asked!"0
