The morning before departure, the butler Afford came to ask Yang Xi if there was anything he needed in particular, such as personal medicines, clothing, etc.

Yang Xi said a few things casually and settled the matter.

At the speed of a six-star alchemy ship, it will take about a week to arrive at the free customs, provided that there are no unexpected incidents at sea, so it is right to prepare more in advance.

Relatively speaking, the circumcontinental route is relatively safe. Only after passing through free customs, the probability of high-level alien beasts appearing will increase, or you may simply encounter a pirate organization with superpowers.

This is not because humans have such a powerful ability to control the probability of high-level alien beasts appearing in the waters within the customs.

On the contrary, humans have chosen the location of customs offices based on the range of arrival of higher-level alien beasts from the very beginning.

The existence of free customs has many meanings. In addition to protecting the inland, it is also a gateway to prevent residents of the four sea areas from returning to the inland.

In addition to privileged people with passes from major forces, ordinary residents from all over the world who want to return to the mainland need to go through complicated procedures, such as visas, non-leak guarantees, etc., and have to pay a high additional fee before they can return.

inland.

Traveling from the inland to the four sea areas is not so troublesome.

The reasons are very complicated. The simplest one is that the three major forces and the federal government do not want the inland areas to know the existence of the four seas.

Once the existence of the four sea areas is revealed and ordinary people know the fact that humans are at war with other worlds, it will cause panic, and there will be instability in the economic operation of the inland areas, humanity's rear area.

The four major sea areas can maintain the situation on the front line by relying on the prosperous economy developed by the compatriots in the inland areas who have been "kept in the dark".

Many daily supplies such as medicine, food, clothing, etc., if it were not for the stable human blood transfusion from the rear, the supply of supplies on the front line would have collapsed long ago.

Therefore, the four sea areas are under the control of the three major forces and pursue a policy of easing entry and strict exit.

In order to achieve this goal, the federal government even revised textbooks.

All of this is for humanity to continue on the Blue Star.

In fact, compared to the compatriots who were enslaved by the colonial mainland and the ordinary people who lived in fear in the four seas, the people in the interior lived in a whitewashed relative peace and were already very happy.

Occasionally, alien beasts attack. Apart from the unlucky ones at the scene, more people watch the hero's live broadcast online and criticize Fang Qiu on the barrage. It's very enjoyable.

Moreover, in the mainland, supernatural organizations are shady, they do illegal and criminal things, and they have to be cleaned up regularly by the Heroes Association.

In the Sihai region, organizations of superpowers can exist openly and openly. If you apply to the offices of the three major forces, you can obtain the qualifications to establish an organization.

Observers from the three major forces will also conduct regular inspections and ratings.

There is no way around this. Although the three major forces have their own core armies, the number of armies is not large, because the minimum standards for joining the core army are D-level superpowers, F-level superpowers, and even cannon fodder.

Nothing can be done.

Moreover, each special-powered soldier must provide expensive standard alien equipment, so in terms of the number of soldiers, there is no way to compare with the previous human army.

They could only block the army of alien beasts on the frontal battlefield. They were really powerless to deal with the impact of other all-pervasive alien beasts.

This has given rise to a large number of supernatural organizations, which are actually similar to the mercenary system. The three major forces will set up some strange beast disasters that they have no time to take care of in the form of tasks in offices on nearby islands, and the superpowers will complete the tasks.

Afterwards, you will receive rewards and ratings.

How should I put it? The forces directly under the three major forces are like well-established civil servants with high salaries and benefits, while the small organizations of superpowers are more like outsourcing companies. They talk about performance, do a job, and make money.

A single.

What he does is licking blood from the knife edge.

Therefore, the folk customs in the four sea areas are strong and the average life span of residents is much lower than that in inland areas.

The situation in the Free Alliance sea area is more special than that in the Hero sea area and the Iron-blooded sea area.

Although the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is more standardized and orderly than those large and small superpower organizations in the Chaotic Sea, in essence, it is also a collection of private armies of several major chambers of commerce.

The military uniforms are uniform, but each legion commander is the helmsman of his or her own chamber of commerce or the head of a family. As the commander-in-chief of his immediate superior, each family takes turns.

When there are benefits, we all support each other, and when there are difficulties, we hold each other back.

From what happened with the Qian family, it can be seen that if other chamber of commerce families rushed to the rescue at all costs, the number of strong men from the Qian family would not have fallen to such an exaggerated level. Even the current head of the family, one of the top ten strong men in Qian Youqiang's order, was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

, was sent to the Iron Blood Army headquarters for treatment.

These are the contents of the information sent by Liu Yuan, and Yang Xi has been studying it carefully.

In general, the four sea areas are the last line of defense for mankind and a paradise for adventurers.

As long as you are strong enough, you can even find an island and dominate it as the king.

In addition, the island chains in the four sea areas were not formed naturally. Instead, with the cooperation of the three major forces, nine island chain defense lines in each sea area were gradually formed.

Of course, after so many years, there are always cases where the island chain is lost.

The current situation is that there are six island chains in the Chaotic Sea, six island chains in the Heroic Sea, seven island chains in the Free Alliance Sea, and eight island chains in the Iron-Blooded Sea.

In fact, among the four sea areas, due to its geographical location, the chaotic sea area has been affected by the least impact of alien beasts. However, due to historical reasons, there is no unified control of the big forces, so the situation in the chaotic sea area is the same as that of the most dangerous heroic sea area.

.

The heroic sea area has borne more than half of the attack of the alien beast army, and it is not easy to be able to stabilize the six island chain defense lines.

…

The next day, Yang Xi, who was wearing a high-end suit sent by the butler Afu, a tie, a brooch, and leather shoes made of top-grain cowhide, arrived at the port of Lukang City with a group of girls dressed up in gorgeous ways.

The reason for not setting off until now is to wait for other passengers on the six-star alchemy ship.

The six-star alchemy ship of the Brahma Sea Chamber of Commerce is not easy to make a round trip, and a large number of tickets need to be sold to avoid losing money.

Of course, if it weren't for Mr. Qian's face, this six-star alchemy ship would not have entered the inland sea.

As an alchemy ship that travels to the four seas, the "Dolphin" is naturally not comparable to a cruise ship that can only sail around the land.

Just its sturdy appearance and huge body made other inland residents who didn't know the inside story envious for having such a beautiful ship.

As the owners of the alchemy ship, the Qian family naturally has VIP access to the gangway for Yang Xi and others.

However, when they came to board the ship, they found a group of people making trouble. There was a lot of excitement near the six-star alchemy ship "Dolphin".

Qian Lao frowned and ordered: "Afu, go and see what's going on."
