Old Hunter of Tomorrow’s Ark

Technology, resources, materials, manpower, this hundreds-year-old heir of Sarkaz has witnessed the development and progress of mobile city technology to the present, and naturally has a lot of relevant information.

Similarly, Teresia, who is now confronting Theresia, also has the same ideal as hers—to build a mobile city belonging to the Sarkaz people.

But in fact, the establishment of a mobile city consumes an astronomical amount of resources. Even if there is a black technology power source like the source stone, it is extremely difficult to build a large-scale power furnace that burns the source stone and drives the city. Spend money like water.

Teresia, like her brother, also dreamed of building a mobile city, but later she realized the reality - the mobile city is too laborious and costly, and only a united country is qualified to build it, so she finally gave up this unrealistic Instead, he bought the giant land cruiser under the ruins of Rem Billiton.

Not too bad.

Of course, even if it is a country, if it wants to build a small mobile city from scratch, it will take a long time for all parties to keep arguing about it. The contractors’ bidding is full of tricks, and the final decision is made by the supreme leader. After all, it is thousands of dollars. A large list of trillions is not a small proportion for a country's finances.

This is the case for small mobile cities. The financial resources spent on the establishment of a super-large mobile city like Longmen, even compared to Dayan, are equivalent to investing several years of fiscal revenue.

Therefore, like Chernobog and Cavalliaki, the great knight leader, large mobile cities are often built in divisions and finally spliced ​​together.

The original Longmen was just a small frontier town with a total town area of ​​less than ten yuan and a population of only two to three hundred thousand people. Benefits—this was admitted by the black snake Tallulah herself.

With Wei Yanwu regaining Longmen, Longmen City began to develop rapidly. Perhaps because of some exchange of interests between him and the new emperor, Longmen got a lot of resources from the capital, and the old city renovation plan was quickly implemented.

Soon, several new city blocks were successfully built, and the original old towns began to be repaired and remodeled little by little, many of which became today's Midtown.

But in some urban areas, there is no further renovation plan.

There is no other reason. Renovating an old city is a thankless job. With the development of Longmen, more and more pioneers, refugees, homeless and even infected people have come to Longmen City. There must be a place to resettle them. Even citizens are reluctant to spend their tax dollars on these outsiders who compete with them for jobs.

Afterwards, more and more outsiders came in, and most of them managed to go to the Midtown to settle down, but there were also many people who fled to the Lower Town or were sent to the quarantine area for infected persons.

And the final result is obvious.

The entire Longmen is divided into two parts, and a virtuous circle and a vicious circle are naturally formed in the upper and lower urban areas.

The power of reform became more and more difficult to implement in the lower urban area. Later, even the Longmen Guards Bureau could not penetrate into it.

And that part of the lower city that has been completely reduced to lawlessness is called a slum.

To be precise, "slums" have always been just a folk name. In the official planning of Longmen, there is only the so-called "downtown".

Even Ursus, who blatantly cleans the infected people, only dares to pretend to mark the areas where the infected people are killed as "special mines".

Longmen has never acknowledged the existence of slums in the official statement, but both the government and the public have drawn an unwritten dividing line intentionally or unconsciously.

This situation is very common in various countries. Kavaleriaki has plot zero to isolate the infected, while the slums of Chernobog have become the place where the integration movement launched an uprising and opened the first shot of the revolution— In fact, rather than fighting against the military and police, ensuring that the residents of the slums do not carry out violent and terrorist activities has put great pressure on the fighters of the integration movement.

In comparison, Kazdel does not have such a huge class gap—everyone is poor, so who is nobler than whom?

"Oh, a fool can't see where the slums are."

If the commercial street at the junction of Xiacheng District and Zhongcheng District that Gao Qi saw last night was only full of disorder and chaos, but he could still see the prosperity of Longmen, but as soon as he stepped here, Gao Qi could only feel the to decay and decline.

Although the architectural styles are relatively similar, the slums seem to be painted with a khaki filter.

Holding Skadi's little hand, Gao Qi was strolling among the slums, and Chen Huijie, who was carrying a short knife on his waist, followed them silently, while Neng Angel and Croissant, holding the sketched portraits from before, went to find the slums. Ask the local residents.

The ground, the walls, and the signboards of the few unopened shops around are covered with thick dust, as if they have been forgotten by the years, and they look very old under the sunlight.

Part of the building has been destroyed, and each room has become the best proof of the broken window effect. The glass was shattered, the interior was emptied, garbage was piled up in the corners, and some even had large bloodstains.

In several houses, there are still a few pairs of eyes staring at Gao Qi and Skadi vigilantly. They are scavengers who are completely homeless.

No matter how pitiful they were, Gao Qi didn't dare to throw some snacks in the bag - that would only make the hidden people in the whole street flock to them.

In the slums, humans are not even allowed to have much kindness.

There is no neat wall, only small advertisements that can be seen everywhere like dog skin plasters, a few bullet holes, a little blood, and no sense of art and beauty, only graffiti showing endless despair.

However, it is not entirely true to say that there is no vitality here, only decadence is left. In fact, there are many residents here, and they all live in narrow buildings. No matter how bad the environment is, human beings have the right to live .

"You are lying, you just stepped on the line!"

On the side of the road, a Luper child and an Ursus child were playing hopscotch one behind the other in a frame drawn with branches on the yellow mud.

"Ice Pops—Old Popsicles!"

A muscular man with full hooves is pushing a cart and selling old popsicles in a plastic incubator along the street. A thick, long and heavy iron rod is placed where it can be reached at any time, and it is even a little bent. .

When doing business in the slums, rather than making money, what needs to be guarded against is being robbed of money. This is not something that can be done simply by paying protection fees to the gangsters—only tough men dare to come out and set up small stalls.

"Hmm... It feels like this place is better than Saltwind City—um."

Following closely beside Gao Qi, Skadi looked at everything around him without any scruples, with the same curiosity as usual in his eyes.

She wanted to say some derogatory words, but after seeing those children, she swallowed the words back into her stomach. She has been on land for so long, and she also understands that not all words can be said casually. In many places, there are people who are worse and more terrifying than Haisi.

"Yeah...Longmen, the gap between rich and poor here is really scary."

Nodding his head, Gao Qi has been in Longmen for less than a day, but he already has a deep understanding of the huge class gap in this giant city.

Although in the original work, the integration movement came to Longmen, it was a conspiracy launched by the black snake to provoke a war between the two countries, but in Gao Qi's view, maybe the integration movement really needs to come here.

Of course, compared to most countries and cities, Tallulah’s uncle Wei Yanwu has done a good job, but the bad places are more obvious because the good places are done so well.

"I don't know? That's bothering you—shh, shut up, Gao Qi, Skadi, don't look around here, and don't whisper in front of others. They may think that you are talking about them, try to keep a low profile."

Soon, Chen Huijie, who was asking passers-by where "Nian" was going, rushed up from behind, and pressed the heads of the two of them.

It was really not a wise move to bring two children to the slums. Chen Huijie also thought about letting Gao Qi and the others stay outside, but the two firmly refused, so she had no choice but to give up.

"Yeah, I understand, ah, sister, go forward a little."

Gao Qi nodded with a smile, took Chen Huijie's slender hand, and pulled her forward.

Wow——

Immediately, a basin of water fell from the sky and landed on the place where Chen Huijie had just stood.

Gao Qi could see an old film lady pouring water from the balcony on the third floor, apparently aiming at Chen Huijie's head. If Gao Qi didn't pull it in advance, Chen Huijie might be able to react, but it was inevitable that someone would get wet.

"you-"

Sensing the intention of the other party, Chen Huijie raised her head and looked up, but the film woman just rolled her eyes and walked back to the room.

"Sorry, sir, I didn't see you just now, after all, we rarely have police in this poor place~~"

Although Chen Huijie was not wearing a police uniform, the saber on his waist was the model of the Guard Bureau, which was obviously recognized by others.

And in this place, even the police officers of the Guards Bureau don't have the same authority as in other areas - they can't protect the people here, and even if there are villains, it is difficult to arrest them.

"Well…"

The blue dragon tail behind him couldn't help but slapped the ground. Obviously, for a moment, Chen Huijie was extremely angry.

But soon, she took another deep breath and calmed down. She went deep into the downtown area to carry out missions not once or twice, and she had long been used to this kind of hostility and rejection.

"Let's go, Brother Gao Qi."

Holding the little hands of Gao Qi and Skadi, Chen Huijie sighed softly, the loss in his eyes could not be concealed, and all of this was seen by Gao Qi.

"We're back, brother Gao Qi, we didn't ask at all, your relative is really good at hiding."

After a while, Croissant, who went to the front to ask people, came back a little disappointed, while Angel Neng came back from the other side with a smile, and there were two more rotten leaves on his uniform.

"Ahaha, I didn't ask at all here. There are so many Sarkaz residents here. It's terrible. I, Sakota, are still not suitable to come forward."

A Sakota walks among the Sarkaz people. Even if she can send this skilled messenger, she still feels a lot of pressure. She usually tries to walk around the Sarkaz settlements—but just now, she directly Got half a box of dish smashed by a Sarkaz.

But there is no way, Kazdel is the most chaotic country around Dayan, and there are naturally many Sarkaz refugees. The recent civil war has shrouded Sarkaz, and many Sarkaz people have chosen to go to Yan. .

"It's okay, big sisters, we are not in a hurry, everyone must pay attention to safety, you can take your time, everyone has worked hard."

Gao Qi immediately stepped forward and helped the angel take off the rotten vegetables thrown by the residents of Sarkaz on his shoulders. Gao Qi gave her a big hug and helped them cheer up—this was originally His work, but in order to keep a low profile, caused these girls to suffer so much. Gao Qi felt distressed and decided to repay them well.

As for Skadi, she also followed suit. Recently, she walked with Gao Qi. She also has a little understanding of her own cuteness. She understands that she is different from when she grew up. will get more happiness.

"Well... Fortunately, there is Gao Qi's younger brother—Okay, Gao Qi's energy has been charged, we can continue to look for it!"

Neng Angel and Croissant immediately hugged the two cubs in their arms, and quickly regained their vitality.

"Ha, you two messengers, can you be a little more formal, we are doing business, okay, there are still people engaged in human trafficking in the lower city, you are so careful to be regarded as human traffickers!"

Seeing Angel Neng and Croissant enjoying themselves, Chen Huijie couldn't help shaking his brows, and urged him impatiently, but this instead aroused Angel Neng's desire to refute.

"Hey, just hug, anyway, this is our client, brother Gao Qi is also willing, we can hug whatever we want - I think you are envious! I want to kiss!"

He hugged Gao Qi in his arms, gave him facial cleanser, and kissed him lightly on the forehead. He is usually kind to others, and the slick and capable angel can't back down when talking about Gao Qi's younger brother. Instead, he showed off to Chen Huijie .

However, Gao Qi is not a piece of wood for such an intimate gesture, so how could he not respond?

"Hmm - I can be an angel!"

Being hugged by such warm and fragrant nephrite, Gao Qi suddenly felt that it was difficult to press the gun, and wanted to struggle out, but it was still a step too late.

"Eh-"

And soon, Angel Neng felt that the soft flesh on his thigh was stabbed by a gun, and then let go of his embrace in a panic, and looked at Gao Qi with a trace of surprise.

"Okay, since I know that there are many residents in Sarkaz here, you, Sakota, keep a low profile for me and wrap up your aura. I will take you to find someone who can help us—don't cause trouble for me. !"

Seeing her inexplicable reaction, Chen Huijie sighed, pulled Gao Qi and Skadi away, and walked away quickly, leaving Angel Neng in a daze for a few seconds, reaching out to touch his thigh .

Just now, she seemed to feel something extraordinary.

"What's the matter, Aneng? Let's go."

But when Croissant patted her on the shoulder and asked with concern, Angel Neng blushed and asked her a strange question.

"Well, Croissant, let me ask you, for a boy as old as Brother Gao Qi, how old should his... be?"

Can the angel suddenly realize that the memory of his drinking last night, maybe—isn't it all fake?

"What that, ah-hey, you didn't mean that!"

Croissant, on the other hand, looked at him with horrified eyes—my colleague, he wouldn't really have any unreasonable thoughts about Brother Gao Qi!

———

Alas, this inner guard is really difficult to fight, and he was still killed after a year.

To be reasonable, this kind of boss that triggers a special effect every time a percentage of HP is lost is really more troublesome than the other. Sister Black Knight’s disarm, Andorn’s group dodge, I really don’t want enemies with such skills anymore up!

Of course, the most disgusting thing is the forced beheading by the inner guard, but with Ling Jie's summoning skills, it is much more convenient to fight.

40. The sisters are united and covenant with the royal court.

Although on the outside he is just a cute boy who has just entered junior high school, but inside, Gao Qi is still a healthy adult.

Gao Qi is not like the male protagonist in welfare comics. He can make the heroine pregnant that night according to the normal plot development, but he has to delay the conversation until the next day before suddenly having two children.

For the girls in the family, he has always followed the principle that if you dare to wipe the gun, I will go off. No matter if it is Senomi or W, as long as they dare to make any provocative behavior in this regard, they will be greeted like a storm. The indiscriminate bombardment guarantees that an extra sheet will have to be laundered the next day — and sometimes the bed will have to be repaired.

Posted by a group of messenger girls all day long, Gao Qi can only say that he is trying hard, but it is still difficult to hold on—he can pretend to be a child on the outside, but little Gao Qi will not lie.

And just now, Gao Qi didn't hold back.

But now, Gao Qi could feel that a surprised and strange gaze was staring at him closely—it was the gaze of an angel.

[I feel wrong, no, how could such a big child be like that—these things were not taught in Rutland's physical health class! 】

At this moment, Chen Huijie was leading the way in the slums, using the stern and cold gaze honed by her old police officer to hold back those downtown residents who planned to plot against them.

Gao Qi and Titi, the demigods with the highest combat effectiveness in the two teams, still happily played the role of a young girl with zero combat effectiveness and was protected in the middle.

Behind them, Angel Neng was rubbing his face with Croissant, whispering something.

Of course, as far as Gao Qi's hearing is concerned, it is still very simple to hear clearly.

"Don't argue with me, you just have unreasonable thoughts about Brother Gao Qi, that's—as your friend and colleague, I can't let you slip into the abyss of crime!"

"No, no, what are you thinking, how could I be different to such a lovely child—brother Gao Qi, he, he is very special, believe me, Croissant, I just hugged him just now A moment, and then, what, he pushed, pushed..."

The pretty face was flushed, and the skin was burning hot with embarrassment. The energy angel pressed his long wine-red hair to his face with both hands, trying to cool himself down, but obviously it didn't work.

She was 100% sure, just now, she seemed to be hit by brother Gao Qi's... between the thighs, and something.

That's definitely not an illusion, but a real fact—it's impossible for Brother Gao Qi to carry a gun on his body! How could she, a Sakota native, not know the texture of the weapon?

However, even with the analogy of guns, brother Gao Qi's current state is like a sniper gun installed on the strap of a small gun - no matter how you look at it, the model is completely wrong!

"Huh? That's it, what am I supposed to do, pfft—brother Gao Qi is a boy no matter what, it's normal to have such a reaction, why are you so shy, a big sister in her twenties!"

However, after hearing Angel Neng's words, Croissant couldn't help laughing out loud, patted Angel Neng on the shoulder vigorously, and joked with her in a low voice.

"And he's only so old, at most, a little bit, and Skadi's sister isn't even jealous, so why are you so excited here? Look, you can see that casually, don't you?"

Obviously, Croissant didn't pay attention to Angel Neng's words. Instead, he pinched his index finger and thumb together to make a small size comparison, and pointed to a little boy on the street who was urinating against the wall, feeling ashamed He immediately pulled up his pants and ran to the depths of the alley.

"No, Gao Qi—forget it, I can't tell you clearly! Go, go, go, it seems that you and brother Gao Qi are still posting less, tell you, don't teach me bad children."
