Gu Jibi makes a living by repairing bicycles and selling second-hand bicycles. There are tools and objects piled up in the yard, as well as worn tires and rusty car chains. The one sitting in the corner is his His son, Xiao Jibi, was filling the chain with black oil on his hands and faces.
The yard is a 2-Layer self-built building with white paint all over. Gu Jibi, father and son, live on the second floor because of the fate of each other. There are four built houses on the first floor, and one serves as a warehouse. , The other three rooms are half-vacant, and Gu Jibi took a few bedding from the upper floor and laid them on the floor.
Throughout the whole process, Xiao Jibi silently handled the chain in his hand, only a pair of tricks looked over from time to time, curiosity and fear in his dark eyes.
While helping to lay up the mattress, Yarlin asked from Gu Jibi's mouth that the blond man was called Helmeppo, the only son of Morgan Captain, Marine 153 branch, and the surly character was Sheltstown. The bully no one dares to provoke.
It can be seen that although Gu Jibi was helpless and agreed with them to stay temporarily under the temptation of money, he still retains strong vigilance and has no intention to talk. Yarlin was also unhurried for a while. He laughed and sat down beside the stone steps in the yard, quietly watching Xiao Jibi fiddling with Bicycle parts there.
Three days passed in a flash. Although Gu Jibi still kept a little wary of Yarlin, Xiao Jibi was no longer so strange to Yarlin, and the fear in his eyes was replaced by curiosity.
"…Yarlin, are you telling me about the sea, is there really such a huge monster? Did you kill it?" Xiaoji competed with Admiral. The severed chains were slowly connected, but the ears were vertical, and all attention was shifted to Yarlin's words.
"Kill it, do you think my body is like a monster's opponent? I didn't dare to move on the deck at the time. The back was densely packed with cold sweat, and I almost fell to the ground." Yarlin glanced at Gu Jibi who was inflating tires in the yard, and said to Xiao Jibi.
"Yarlin, you were actually frightened. You are such a courageous little demon. If it were me, I would not be so scared." Xiao Jibi showed a contemptuous expression, and then in his pupils It is infinite longing.
"he he he ~" Yarlin touched Xiao Jibi's head and continued to tell all kinds of weird stories, and then occasionally mixed with some inquiries, and soon grew up in Jibi's mouth Get information about the entire town of Shelz.
The information is very simple. After all, you can hardly get detailed information on an ignorant little demon. However, it is precisely the information obtained from the mouth of this little demon that is often the closest to the real situation.
And Yarlin used these limited information, combined with his own observations and speculations, and slowly outlined the overall outline of the town in his mind, and the Marine base behind the strong wall Some vague scenes within.
In general, the town of Shelz is a small town in the middle of the country. The population of the entire town is about 50,000 to 100,000. The difference between these is very large because there is no specific statistics. Yarlin only guessed a rough range of numbers.
The town is very deserted, the commerce is barren and backward, there is a certain scale of handicraft and agricultural production, and on the whole it can achieve self-sufficiency and maintain the pass line of food and clothing.
It's just a town, and it doesn't meet the standards for establishing a country. Therefore, there is no government function in the town. At most, there are some so-called civil organizations, but in front of the Marine 153 branch, none of them Any resistance, so Marine 153 branch became the absolute ruler of this town and even this island.
All the power in Sheltz Town belongs to Marine 153 branch, taxation, commerce, public security, etc., which means that the Marine branch base is not legally recognized here, but the actual situation is that it has autonomy Power.
The deeper nature of this may involve the distribution of functions of the building in this world, as well as certain games between the central and local governments. After all, looking at the leopard, Yarlin has great confidence in guessing similar to Marine 153 This situation in the branch is definitely not a rare case.
Of course, these things, as well as the pros and cons involved, are not what he can handle now. His eyes and attention are only focused on Branch 153.
As for the general situation of Marine 153 branch, Yarlin also has a certain degree of care in his mind. First, Morgan Captain is the supreme ruler of Marine 153 branch. His character is brutal and autocratic, arrogant and bold. With high-pressure domination and exploitation.
Secondly is the only son Helmeppo, who is surly and domineering, but in fact he did nothing and did nothing. His actions have reached the point where complaints have been heard in the small town. This is much more than when he was talking about Helmeppo. The appearance of the gnashing teeth can be seen.
It can be said that Helmeppo's resentment by the town has surpassed his father Morgan to some extent, which is very terrifying.
Then, the overall situation of Marine 153 branch. There are about 800 to 1,000 Marines. In addition to Morgan Captain, there are three Commanders under it. The specific function assignment is not the town's residents. Can be clear.
I only know that there is one Commander named Ripa, who seems to be one of the few Marine officers with good senses by local residents.
Yarlin just kept this name in his heart.
Finally, and most importantly, the Marine 153 branch has a recruiting office in the center of the town. Although it is idle and deserted all the year round, it does exist, and the Sir of the recruiting office is called As Lieutenant Marine of Seng Jerry, it is good or bad for the wind review.
Because almost no one in the town has entered the recruitment office.
And among all the news, the one that Yarlin finds most interesting is Helmeppo, the only son of Morgan Captain, who can be called the "Crown Prince" of Sheltstown His Royal Highness is actually a white body, that is to say, he did not participate in Marine.
There are two guesses here. One is that Helmeppo himself does not want to be a Marine, and Morgan Captain actually "agrees". At least from the results, Helmeppo succeeded as he wished; and the other result is Yes, Helmeppo himself aspires to be a Marine and is not approved by Morgan Captain, otherwise Yarlin can't imagine. What other reasons can prevent an arrogant and despotic Second Generation Officials from realizing his "humble" career plan.
In either case, Yarlin is keenly aware of the hidden secrets that are worth studying, and may become a key bargaining chip for his future operations in the 153Marine branch.
