Songhe is also quite dangerous. To get to Zhou Tian Island or other places, you will encounter various monsters in the river.

The Black Hand occasionally sells tickets, but they are very expensive, often requiring a large debt to purchase. Once you arrive in the outside world, you still have to repay the debt. Even so, those tickets are extremely difficult to obtain!

The high price of the tickets is due to the fact that only Black Hand Lu Gang controls the safe passage out of the port. All merchants and goods coming here rely on his fleet. Therefore, every additional passenger requires additional supplies and accommodation. Furthermore, this is a monopoly, so no matter how much Black Hand Lu Gang charges, others can only accept it; there are no other options.

People do travel by land, but it is much more dangerous than by sea. The journey involves traversing a vast fog, spending countless nights along the way, and attracting wandering spirits in ethereal form and many terrifying monsters.

Although there are rumors of several "safe routes," these are undoubtedly classified.

Chen Jing quickly figured out the reason for the price increase.

It's probably because many people are worried that the lockdown will last longer, so they are willing to spend money to stockpile various supplies, and merchants have taken the opportunity to raise prices.

Unexpectedly, Lu Gang, the mastermind, gave up the pursuit of the assassins in the city so quickly and lifted the city lockdown order. Those who hoarded supplies are probably regretting it now.

Chen Jing pondered for a moment, thinking, "Perhaps someone saw Wan Tong on the road, and Wan Tong and the others are wanted by the police?"

"If that's the case, we need to think of a way..."

Chen Jing frowned and pondered, when suddenly, he had an idea.

What should a brother do when his upright and honest brother, who has just joined a mafia gang and whose sister, who was sold out, returns but is now wanted by the police?

Chen Jing quickly came up with a solution.

Of course, he also had to make two preparations to prevent the Black Hand gang from really relentlessly pursuing his sister and others who were used as sacrifices, leaving no room for negotiation.

"I'm going out for a bit," Chen Jing said to Li Huaxing. "Take good care of your sister and don't let her go out."

"Okay." Li Huaxing nodded.
