MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 153 Zero Bar (for losing mo

   Hou Jie didn't remember how long he watched it, and he didn't leave until the street lights went out and no one was walking around.

What he saw and heard under the monument lingered in Hou Jie's mind. As long as he closed his eyes, he immediately appeared and lingered, until he walked through the dark street and followed the road signs into the high-rise Qunyun Street. Jay came out of the scene just now.

  No.2 Qunying Street, Zero Bar.

   Hou Jie thought that this would be a place full of shrieks and smoke. It should be able to hear the rhythm of drums and howls, and it should be able to see the crazily twisting crowd and wine bottles.

But when I walked in, I found that there was no eardrum-shaking music in the bar. The singing was graceful and light, and it rang all around and overhead. With the dim lighting and the colorful cocktails carefully prepared by the bartender, Hou Jie had a good voice as soon as he walked in the door. got a little drunk.

   Maybe it was because it was the first time I saw Hou Jie's raw face. After he pushed the door and came in, several eyes shot out of the shadows and stuck to him.

   Hou Jie didn't care about it, he went straight to the bar and nodded to the bartender. Behind the bar, a woman wearing light makeup and a men's shirt and vest touched the bow at her neckline and asked softly, "What would you like to drink?"

This service attitude is far from the staff of the Yuanjiao Society I met before, but Hou Jie doesn't care too much. After all, this is not the peaceful era before the disaster. I heard Zhang Deng say that Jiangxin Island is of the highest grade. , which can really be counted as the bar of the bar, this is the only one. In the absence of any competitors and a tough background, it is not surprising that the zero-point bar shop bullies customers, and it is normal for the service attitude to be poor.

   "Give me a drink..." Hou Jie remembered that he had never been to a bar before, and didn't know what to order. But Hou Jie didn't hesitate. He changed his mind and said, "Come on, let's have the strongest drink."

"A cup of 'Battle Song of the Far River'." The female bartender said to the bartender, her attitude was so casual that she didn't look like a bartender at all. After she finished speaking, she rushed out and spread her palm in front of Hou Jie, with a piece of Arabic on it. Number plate with numbers.

   "Find a seat by yourself, adjust it later, the number plate will vibrate, you can come and get it yourself."

   Is this really a bar? baffling. Hou Jie was a little speechless. When he reached for the number plate, the bartender retracted his hand again.

   "Two dollars, pay first."

  Two pieces? Hou Jie was stunned, what two dollars? It can't be two yuan RMB, right? He was penniless and didn't even know what the currency on Jiangxin Island was.

   After a cough, Hou Jie felt a little embarrassed. He took out the twenty-denomination food stamp that he had put away in his trouser pocket in the morning, and asked tentatively, "Is this okay?"

   "Go out." The female bartender rolled her eyes and raised her finger to the door.

   There were unkind laughter and sarcasm from the small round tables and seats next to him, making Hou Jie slightly annoyed.

A man who had been staring at Hou Jie as soon as he entered the door waved his hand to his companion to shut up. The other people also wisely stopped laughing and wandered outside a lot. Everyone knows that one cannot easily make judgments about a stranger. Maybe this person is strong enough to turn around and slap his face. If it hadn't been for no one to make trouble at the Zero Bar, there would have been no danger, and they wouldn't have restrained their ridicule just now.

   "Little brother, although some places in Jiangxin Island are not restricted areas, you must have the ability and money to go." The man stood up and walked to the bar, gently putting down two glowing round coins. The area and thickness of this coin can't even keep up with the previous dime coin, but its value is many times higher than the latter, because it is pure silver.

"Exactly, I have a good harvest this time, little brother, I'll treat you to this glass of wine. Come and have a drink with us." The man's gaze towards Hou Jie did not stop at his face, but turned to his Every detail of shoulders, arms, fingers, etc., tried to judge his strength.

   Even if the harvest is good, there is no reason to buy wine for a stranger, let alone the most expensive glass of wine at zero? The man does this because his corpse hunter team just lost a trusted teammate the day before yesterday. We all know the principle of wooden barrels. It is not its long board that determines how much water a wooden barrel can hold, but its short board. A well-equipped combat team with a clear division of labor will have a sharp drop in combat effectiveness without any one person, so men are very urgent to absorb new players.

   And Hou Jie is obviously a good candidate. The layman watches the fun, the layman watches the doorway. After fighting with the **** mutant zombies for more than three months, the man could tell at a glance that Hou Jie was a capable player.

"Thank you." Hou Jie was not pretentious, he followed the man back to the small table where he was sitting, and asked curiously, "When she said two yuan just now, did she mean two coins? Is it made of silver? Why use silver as currency? "

   "My name is Cheng Xu, Cheng Xu has a great future, Xu, the rising sun, how about you, little brother?" Cheng Xu asked without answering.

   "Hou Jie."

"Brother Hou just came to Star of Hope, right?" Cheng Xu began to explain after learning Hou Jie's name, "In Star of Hope, there are two common currencies, one is food stamps, and that is official currency, and the rescue will be given to the following people. Food stamps are used to pay wages. Generally speaking, it is no problem to pay with food stamps when going to other places, but there are rules in the zero-point bar, and only silver coins are accepted.”

"Silver coins are another kind of currency, you know, some awakened people, powerful teams, or people from Xinyuanjiang, they may not always stay in Star of Hope, if you do business with them, They generally don't accept food stamps." Cheng Xu took out another silver coin, this time the size of the silver coin was two circles larger, and the thickness and quality were obviously much more, and said, "They like this kind of silver coin, because not only does it It can be used in the Star of Hope, and it is also hard currency outside. Just now, the bill was paid in small denominations, one piece is one piece, now, this is a large denomination, ten dollars a piece."

   "Use silver, because it is a precious metal? Then why not use gold?"

   Cheng Xu looked at Hou Jie with a strange look, and he asked, "Don't you know that the rune bracelet is made of silver?"

   Rune bracelet? What is that? Why is everything in this ghost place different from what you think, and how many things are there that you don't know? Hou Jie didn't like the current feeling very much. He kept his lips closed and did not speak, tacitly acknowledging his ignorance of the rune bracelet and other things.

   "Om, Om"

The    number plate just vibrated, which eased the awkward atmosphere a little. Hou Jie grabbed the number plate and walked to the bar, where there was a glass of wine.

   The wine in the glass is bright red and dazzling, a wooden sign is sandwiched between several ice cubes, and a red flag is erected on the wooden sign, which is placed on the wine glass.

   Before handing out the wine glass, the female bartender struck a match and put the beating flame into the mouth of the glass. The flame did not go out as quickly as expected, but instead ignited the wine in the cup.

   "Battle Song of the Far River, Song of Ice and Fire, please."

   Looking at the hand of the female bartender, the red flag on the glass is fluttering, the wine in the glass is rippling, and the ice cubes and flames dance together in the wine, which is breathtaking.

   Hou Jie was about to ask something when the soothing singing suddenly turned into deafening heavy metal music.

   A rough and wild male voice roared.

   "Welcome to zero, we are on the verge of victory, zero before dawn!"
