Chapter 178 Another World, Voodoo Wizard
"So, you rarely have entertainment or go out?"
Su Ziyu looked out the window as if he was thinking.
From his perspective, we can clearly see that the streets are covered with sloppy civilians. Although they are not as ragged, there are many dirty and ugly ones. There are even a group of teenage children sitting on the roof of a high garbage truck, as if they are hunting for treasures inside.
"You're still out?! The government can only say that the control of the whole country is barely powerful." Xiao Chen said and pointed to the corner of the street in front. "Did you see, although the people here are poor, their swords and guns are so popular that they are outrageous. It is so extensive that they can't be managed extensively, which is no different from herding sheep."
"Our biggest entertainment is to play basketball and poker in our own basketball courts, football fields, which are already very good. After all, it's okay in the city. The oil well is in the Faravon Province. By the way, this province is equivalent to our country's province, but in fact, except for the central province and some near the harbour, the others are places where birds do not shit. The environment there... you will know when you go."
Xiao Chen said with a hint of a smile. From his expression, he knew that he would not be able to get better.
Several people looked in the direction of his fingers and just caught a glimpse of two young men carrying AK and 56 cheap weapons, talking and laughing, and turned out of sight, and looked at each other. It seemed that the situation here was indeed chaotic, and civilians carrying swords and guns could be seen everywhere on the street.
After Xiao Chen's introduction along the way, they probably learned about the current situation of this so-called country.
Although Africa has relatively modern countries, it also has very backward wilderness, and Ningbe is one of the most backward countries.
Most people do not have any clear understanding of such a country. They are nothing more than a scale-shaped armor learned from TV and documentaries. They can be roughly described in eight words: economic backwardness and people are living in poverty.
In fact, it is not wrong to fall behind, but people will not live in poverty. Because there is a unique climate and natural resources here, there is no shortage of food in most of the time. There are all kinds of mature nuts to eat during the dry season, and the food in the rainy season is even more crazy. Unlike most parts of the world, people need to prepare four or five months of food to survive the long winter and spring farming.
It is precisely because of this historical reason that local civilians have no sense of crisis. It was not until the modern population explosion that a tragedy occurred.
Because when the population is small, even if the rainy season is delayed, civilians can still wander around and go to other places to find food. However, when there are too many people, the land will not be enough. It is precisely because of the long-term unique environment that people do not have the habit of storing food. Once famine comes, people will starve to death.
Fortunately, famine is rare, so the locals are still as lazy as farming? No need! With the integration of global civilization, high-yield crops such as potatoes and cassava have also spread here. Just a few of them will be a large area in two years.
Such agriculture is not even extensive, it is simply a savage life.
So most of the time, civilians are truly free from food and clothing, so they are naturally extremely lazy. If they want to hire local workers, then being a one-day rest is considered an extremely diligent person.
Such a society is too fragile and has no ability to resist risks. No wonder it has become a colony of major powers in modern times. But in a certain way, perhaps for the locals, such a life is simple and happy because there is no need to have any sense of crisis.
Only those upper-class people, the so-called elite class, want to control power, will struggle.
So after listening to it, Su Ziyu and the other two felt a strange feeling in their hearts. They didn’t know how to evaluate such a society, as if they had reached another world isolated from the world.
When they arrived at the Haoyuan Group's headquarters, they met General Manager Feng Sichao, who was a serious middle-aged man, but they obviously knew the identities of several people and seemed very polite. They did not arrange to send them to the oil well area as soon as possible, but invited a few people to participate in a simple welcome dinner.
Originally, Su Ziyu and the others had no intention of eating, but they just needed to learn more about the local situation as soon as possible, so they agreed to Shan Ruliu.
The dinner was quite lively, and some high-ranking figures from Ningdan appeared, including a high-ranking official, Balami Kasa, who was a fat guy who was very polite and enthusiastic to several people and spoke Chinese sloppy. His position was a bit long, the Minister of Energy, Oil and Mineral Exploration, Water Conservancy and Renewable Energy Development.
The few people were a little surprised at first. Only Feng Sichao knew their true purpose. They were just senior employees of the company and could alarm a minister to attend the welcome dinner. However, after listening to Feng Sichao's explanation, he understood that Ningdan had no ability to explore and mine at all. He relied entirely on cooperation with the country. After leaving, he could not play anymore, so it was normal for them to be enthusiastic.
"Xiao Chen must be running the train again, right? Don't listen to him. Although Ning Dan can't help but guns, it's not dangerous to us. Ning Dan's official is very polite to us, and local residents generally won't hit us." Feng Sichao seemed to know Xiao Chen very well, and explained while talking.
What he said was very clear. For locals, those minerals were useless at all. Only when aid companies came and brought better material conditions could they play a role. Therefore, locals generally still welcomed themselves and would not have any hostility.
"Is that true? Since that's the case, why did our people suddenly disappear?" Qin En didn't buy it and looked at him with a sneer.
Feng Sichao was stunned for a moment and shook his head with some distress: "This is also my strange place. To be honest, only the living environment in the city is better. Although the area where the oil well is located has opened up special resident locations, the conditions are still relatively harsh, diseases are rampant, mosquitoes, wild animals and even swamps are quite dangerous. The local natives have been used to living here for a long time, but we outsiders are not very adaptable..."
"We know all this. Are there any other dangers?" Su Ziyu interrupted him directly.
Perhaps what the other party said was true, but some diseases and insects and beasts could not pose a threat to Wushi.
"Hey... brother, to be honest, I really don't know. You also know that your identity is quite mysterious, and you won't tell me what you do..." Feng Sichao shook his head helplessly, although.
Su Ziyu and others looked at each other. They were all experts who could keenly sense people's feelings. They could tell at once that Feng Sichao was telling the truth. For local aid companies, the identity of the Special Defense Bureau was also relatively mysterious. Feng Sichao thought that they were agents with special missions and would not interfere too much.
However, in this case, you can't ask any useful news. Judging from the other party's meaning, it is obvious that Wu Si and the others often move alone and will not inform the trend.
At this moment, Su Ziyu suddenly saw a man in a strange dress and asked quietly: "Who is that person?"
Although the local people were wearing various clothes, the elites who attended today's dinner were still dressed in modern outfits and suits and shirts. Only the person he saw was tied with a white cloth strap on his head, a white linen robe, and a bunch of weird decorations.
Feng Sichao turned his head and looked, "Ah". "That is the wizard of the Vodou religion. He has a high status in Ningdan, which is equivalent to... the archbishop in Catholicism. By the way, Vodou religion is Ningdan's national religion, and everyone believes in this religion."
