Mai Dong and his friends didn't like the Black Gold Base.

Xia Lunong and his friends were not surprised by this.

If they liked the Black Gold Base, they probably wouldn't live outside the Black Gold Base.

Mai Dong and his friends described the Black Gold Base in great detail, but Xia Lunong still found it hard to imagine what kind of place it was.

The next day, they got up early and drove a truck to the Black Gold Base.

The management of the Black Gold Base was more relaxed than they expected.

They had originally thought about using some identity to get in, but they didn't expect that the Black Gold Base didn't require any identity. After the inspection, they were asked to just hand in supplies.

Xia Lunong muttered in a low voice, "It seems that the Black Gold Base is very confident."

"This may be one reason. Another reason may be that even if we report our identities, they will not be able to find out." Yan Xinian said calmly, "Be careful later. The Black Gold Base may implement a policy of loose outside and tight inside."

Xia Lunong nodded and looked at the people outside the car.

Unlike their base, many people walking on the road in the Black Gold Base wore armor.

Armor.

People wore various kinds of armor, made of leather, wood, metal, bone... Many people also wore helmets, directly covering their faces.

In addition to armor, the people here also have various animal characteristics, the most obvious of which are animal ears and animal tails.

Xia Lunong also saw several people dragging fish tails.

I don't know if it's useless for these people to have their fish tails dragging behind their butts, and what the purpose of dragging them out is.

Xia Lunong feels that these things are very strange.

Under Mai Dong's dedicated teaching, he also learned to be half-beast. When he saw the scene outside, he couldn't help but be moved. Furry cat ears popped out from the top of his head, and at the same time, the ears on both sides of his face disappeared.

The first time his cat ears popped out, Kong Zhi noticed it.

Kong Zhi raised his hand to touch his head and pressed it lightly, "Don't play."

Xia Lunong couldn't control this half-beast process. After his ears were pressed back, a big furry tail popped out from under his butt.

That is the unique cat tail of a long-haired cat.

The cat's tail is big and long, with long hair on it, which makes his own butt a little itchy.

He couldn't help but move, and his flexible tail pushed open his pants and quietly slipped out, saying, "Shouldn't we follow the local customs in this situation?"

Xia Huo said, "There are all kinds of people on the street, you don't have to imitate them. You want to show off your tail?"

Xia Lunong was not too interested in this.

He shook his head.

Xia Huo said, "If you don't want to show it off,

put your tail away. Your tail is too obvious and it's easy to be targeted." Xia Lunong had to retract her tail.

He let the tail out for a while, and he felt that his pants were empty and uncomfortable when he didn't let the tail out.

Seeing him like this, Yan Xinian smiled and said, "If you want to play, go back to the base and play."

Xia Lunong said, "We can test it out when we get back to the base to see what the difference is when using the semi-beast and when not using it."

"Okay, we'll test it slowly when we get back to the base." Yan Xinian turned the steering wheel, "Now let's find a safe place to park the truck and then take a slow walk."

There are many hotels with good reputations in the Black Gold Base.

This entire base is full of desperate criminals. If the reputation is not good, it is estimated that it will be difficult to attract business.

Yan Xinian drove the truck, did not ask anyone for directions, and did not go to the hotel recommended by Mai Dong. He quickly found a big hotel and drove them there.

There was a large open space outside the hotel, which was full of various cars, many of which were armored vehicles.

Xia Lunong was shocked when she saw it, thinking that these were tanks.

After a careful inspection, he found that these armored vehicles were quite different from tanks.

For example, the wheels.

For example, the places where the weapons protruded.

Xia Lunong whispered: "I'm afraid our trip this time was not in vain. They seem to be more than ten years ahead of us."

Yan Xinian replied: "Ours is just a small agricultural society. It is definitely not comparable to this. Our strengths are not in this area."

Xia Lunong looked at the car and said: "I don't know what the Spark Base is like now. Will the technology be much more advanced than here?"

"That's for sure." Yan Xinian said, "I haven't heard that there are aircraft here, but there are at least aircraft at the Spark Base."

Xia Huoqu said: "Don't chat for now, let's register for accommodation, carry our things and go for a walk on the street, and see it with our own eyes." As soon

as Xia Huoqu opened his mouth, the two people who were whispering stopped talking.

Each of them carried a huge backpack. Except for Xia Lunong, each of them had four sealed bamboo tubes in their backpack.

Xia Lunong had three in her backpack.

Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu carried a very sturdy-looking handbag in addition to their backpacks, which contained food.

The hotel in front of them was called the Beast Hotel.

There were many people guarding the hotel door. As soon as

they got off the car, someone came to greet them, "Sir, do you want parking or accommodation?"

Yan Xinian said, "Parking and accommodation, what is the price in your store?"

The middle-aged man who came to greet them said, "It depends on what you pay with. If you pay with rice, parking is 20 kilograms a day, and accommodation is 20 kilograms per person per day in a double room. If you pay with meat, it depends on the grade of the meat."

Yan Xinian smiled, "Are the instruments here accurate?"

The middle-aged man said, "Of course they are accurate. We are open for business and guarantee honesty. Level 1 to level 5 meat is no problem."

Yesterday, Mai Dong and his friends said that the Black Gold Base can already measure the energy contained in various mutant beasts.

Level 1 is the lowest and level 5 is the highest.

If there are no beasts that mutate at all, there are no levels.

However, these days, there are basically no beasts that do not mutate at all.

Yan Xinian smiled: "Then let's go in and test the grade of the beast meat we brought. The car is parked outside, you guys help watch it."

"Okay, don't worry, there are people watching here." The middle-aged man smiled, "Look, so many armored vehicles are parked here."

Hearing this, Xia Lunong couldn't help but turn his head and look at the various armored vehicles in the parking lot.

He counted quietly, there were a total of 27 armored vehicles.

It was indeed a very large number.

It was not known whether these armored vehicles were parked by guests staying in the hotel or by the staff of this hotel.

No matter which side it was, it hinted that they needed to be extra careful after entering.

Xia Lunong took a look and then retracted his gaze.

The middle-aged man had a very good attitude. Seeing him looking around with a smart look, he smiled and said nothing.

The middle-aged man led them into the hotel.

There were two half-animal women working at the hotel reception desk.

They were tall, beautiful, and more elegant than many models before the disaster.

It was unclear whether they were working as reception desk staff part-time or full-time.

Xia Lunong was thoughtful, and was embarrassed to stare at people's faces, so she turned her gaze to their abdomens.

Xia Lunong soon discovered that the two reception staff had abdominal muscles under their thin clothes, and they didn't look easy to mess with.

The two receptionists ignored their gazes and explained the price of accommodation to them with a smile.

Yan Xinian took out a large bag of fish meat covered with straw from his handbag, "There are more than 20 kilograms of fish meat here, what grade do you think it is? How do I pay with fish meat?"

"Okay, please wait a moment, I will test it for you."

The front desk staff took the fish meat and walked directly to a large metal instrument on the side.

She opened the door of the instrument, put the fish meat in, and then pressed a button on the side of the door.

The instrument started to hum. If someone who was not familiar with it saw this scene, they might think it was a microwave oven working.

Xia Lunong took a closer look with curiosity.

It is unknown when this instrument was invented. Whether before the invention of the instrument, the people at the Black Gold Base noticed the subtle difference in energy between animal meat.

The receptionist smiled perfectly, "The test will take three to five minutes, please wait. During the test, please fill in the information."

The hotel was very perfunctory in collecting information. They probably just asked them to fill in what kind of beast they were and what weapons they were carrying, and that was it. There was no inspection at all.

Xia Lunong thought to herself, this place is said to be loose on the outside but tight on the inside, it's simply too loose.

I don't know if this Black Gold Base is simply incapable of detecting all kinds of beasts and all kinds of special people, or if they don't bother to care as long as these people don't cause trouble and don't go to sensitive areas.

They filled in the information quickly.

While filling in the information, the microwave-like detection instrument made a "ding" sound and announced the test results in a flat electronic voice, "After inspection, the meat is fish meat, third-grade fish meat."

Everyone heard the announcement.

The receptionist and the guide smiled more warmly and sincerely.

The receptionist squinted and said, "If you pay with third-grade fish meat, a double room will cost half a catty per person per day, and the parking fee will be half a catty per day."

Yan Xinian nodded, "Then let's put the fish meat on the account first and use the fish meat to pay for it. Can the unused fish meat be exchanged for other supplies and returned to us?"

The receptionist said, "Of course, we have second-grade animal meat or various grains to exchange. If you need it, you can also give it to us. You can exchange it for black gold coins."

The receptionist finished speaking and added: "Our hotel itself has an exchange service. If you have other things that need to be exchanged, we can also help you exchange them. We only need to charge a certain fee. Of course, except for high-grade beast meat, there is no need to pay a fee for exchanging high-grade beast meat for supplies."

Yan Xinian said: "Then please leave five catties of fish meat first, and we will exchange the rest for black gold coins."

"Okay, please wait." The receptionist said, "The piece of fish meat you left is a total of 27 catties and 3 ounces. According to today's market price, one catty of third-grade beast meat is 30 black gold coins. Do you want to exchange it?"

Yan Xinian nodded.

They didn't plan to stay in the hotel for long.

After they exchange the money for black gold coins, they will go out shopping. It is much more convenient to take money out directly than to take meat out.

Besides, their space bamboo tube is also their unique secret. It is too easy to expose the meat if they put it in the space bamboo tube.

The two receptionists did not expect to make a deal so easily. The smiles on their faces became warmer and their service attitude became visibly better.

The receptionist took a photo of them, then handed them the room card and said with a smile: "There is hot water heating and internet in the room."

Before Xia Lunong could speak curiously, the receptionist said: "Local area network. There is a lot of information about the black gold base on it. If you are interested, you can take a look."
