“This main road is often used by the people from the city, so tents are not allowed to be set up here…”

While she was explaining, the crowd suddenly scattered in disarray, quickly clearing a path.

On the road, four or five cars roared past.

Meng Xian quickly led everyone to dodge to the side.

“SUVs!”

In the post-apocalyptic world, those who could still drive were invariably hold some social status.

Although the five SUVs were battered and didn’t even have a shelter to shield against the wind and rain, the longing looks from the crowd were nonetheless apparent.

“We will definitely be able to get such cars too!” Meng Xian quickly cheered them on.

In fact, cars were still relatively common; in some of the larger automotive cities, there were many intact vehicles.

In the post-apocalyptic world, what was truly lack of was gasoline. At the abandoned fuel stations, they could still find some leftover gasoline, but once these ownerless resources were exhausted. Gasoline could only obtained from the major city.

The price of fuel was a number so high that ordinary people didn’t even dare to think about it. Whoever owned the gasoline or cars holds the symbol of status and power.

Most of the people nearby were accustomed to this sight.

Only outsiders like Meng Xian and her companions showed looks of envy.

“Is this your first time here?!”

At that moment, a sleazy-looking middle-aged man with his hair combed back using some kind of gel approached them.

“There’s an entry fee for the city. You newcomers can stay outside the city; 1 just happen to have some tents you can rent…”

“No need! 1 know the boss of the Seven Rings Snake…”” Meng Xian interrupted him.

“Seventh Ring Snake?!”

The sleazy man quickly backed off from them.

This phenomenon caused the rest of the group members wondered what was the ‘Seventh Ring Snake’.

Xiao Liu too asked quietly, “Sister Meng, what is this Seventh Ring Snake?”

“Black Rock City is very large, with six main roads constructed inside and each main road was named as one ring. In the old days would be up to the sixth ring…”

“The seventh ring refers to these camps outside the city. Of course, people inside the city don’t recognize the seventh ring, but those who lived outside recognized it as the seventh ring…”

“The Seventh Ring Snake is a organization outside the east gate of Black Rock City, in charge of eight camps…”

Meng Xian pointed to the campsites on both sides of the road and continued, “Do You all see these square mark? Each square represents one camp, and these camps are managed by the factions…”

“There are about thirty to forty camps, and there are more than a dozen to twenty different factions of all sizes; the Seventh Ring Snake is one of them…”

Xiao Liu scratched his head and asked, “Sister Meng, aren’t we going into the city?”

“With these things, we probably can’t even afford the city entry fee. We will deal in the seventh ring…” Meng Xian laughed and pointed to the goods they were pulling behind them.

After her introduction, everyone understood that every time they came here to trade, they didn’t really go in Black Rock City. Instead, they traded in the seventh ring outside the Black Rock City. There were many trading centers and markets here.

This is because some of the trader from the city came to seventh ring for trading for the purpose on avoiding taxes. So they dealt with it here in advance. There were also other dealers from other gates who brought their goods here to deal with it.

“Didn’t we stay in the city last time?”

Xiao Liu was a bit confused; he wasn’t very familiar with Black Rock City. The previous times he had come, it was all handled by Meng Xian, who directly took them into the city.

“We used the exclusive privilege pa.s.sage of the Reed Group last time. Only those who signed up to use the genetic elixir could enjoy it. This time, I’ll stay outside for the night…”

“All? Sister Meng, 1 thought you were going to inquire about Zhao Yu’s news with that manager Huang?!” Xiao Liu asked.

“I have other ways to get in, but 1 have to wait until tomorrow. You two go ahead for today…”

“What about the rest of the group?!”

“We’ll just stay outside. The rent for these tents isn’t expensive and we still have some acquaintances…”

Only then did Xiao Liu remember Meng Xian mentioning she knew the boss of the Seventh Ring Snake.

“Alright…”

After more than two hours of trekking, Zhao Yu finally led the troop to the vicinity of their destination.

From a distance, he could see a camp constructed out of wood.

“Stop the cars!”

At a safe distance, Zhao Yu took out an eight-times scope to watch from afar.

In the camp, several watcher from the defend towers had spotted Zhao Yu and his troop as well.

The arrival of Zhao Yu and his team had caused no small amount of disturbance in the camp.

“Boss, this is bad. An army has stopped outside our gates…”

Someone just ran into a camp for reporting.

“An army?!” The leader of the camp with a shiny bald head and a face covered with few horizontal scars was worried and quickly brought his men to the gate.

From the top of the watch tower. The leader could see that about ten to fifteen off-road vehicles were stopped on an open ground two to three hundred meters away from their camp..
