Chapter 108: Locke White (1)

Why don't you send a few civilian clothes when you resupply them?

Little did they know that the inhabitants of this colourful town, Lockberry, would still fill the streets like no one else. None of them went to refuge, no, should I say they didn't know?

"Oh God, are we at the biggest masquerade ever?" Yunakin muttered to himself, "and we won the best ...... in the show."

Looking around, it may indeed be true that as the Master Chief said, the inhabitants of Rogue were dressed in the costumes of the medieval aristocracy, with the men wearing suits and gowns with bows around their necks, and the ladies wearing brightly coloured and fluffy dresses, which was very troublesome just to look at. And they are often looked sideways by people like this, and it is always a little subtle to think about it.

In addition, the mechanization process here is also very different from the Nanlian cities I have visited before, and it can be said that there is a gap from there to nothing. Self-driving vehicles are also commonplace here, and service robots are everywhere, but they are machines without human form. The most impressive thing is probably the town's architecture, which is completely self-contained boxes stacked one on top of the other, and the boom erected above the city can lift a unit of house and move it around the town.

"It's so convenient," Wendy looked up at the boxes flying overhead, "and you can get to all parts of the city while sitting at home." ”

"You can't stack it higher than the boom, so people still need vehicles," Unakin dismissed, "it's just too much...... In terms of automation, or our country is more powerful, if you have a chance after the war, you let Frost take you to see it. ”

"Yes, if this is the command......"

"Hmm......" Unakin let out a grunt of displeasure from the depths of his throat, "it's too conspicuous to hang out in the street like this, it's a moving target, we need to find a place to hide......"

This is the strangest thing, Locke does not have half of the Southern Coalition army, if they were attacked, they would have suffered a long time ago, and it is no wonder that the residents did not notice it.

"Is there a place where I can hide here, Aixia?" asked Yunakin.

"Turn left into the alley, yes, this is it. Axia replied as they arrived.

The sign next to the small door was shining, and the small light bulbs in series were not in good contact, and they were told the name of the store intermittently.

Schneider's stationary hourglass. Interesting name, but no matter how you say it, it's a black shop, opened in this kind of alley that doesn't see the light of day.

There's nothing to be picky about who they are, and Unakin looked at it for a moment, then twisted the doorknob and pushed it open, stepping in with his right foot, and his right hand quietly resting on the holster.

"Welcome......" shouted someone in the store, but the lingua franca was swallowed up a third of it.

Frost followed Unakin inside. It's pretty good for a black shop, at least it's bright enough, the chandeliers and air conditioners hanging from the ceiling are running quietly, and the wall on the left-hand side of the door has been transformed into a built-in water tank, which has a swimming bionic machine, which can barely be considered "lifelike". Five sets of tables and chairs are placed in front of the bar, and at the bottom is a set of sofas, surrounded by bookshelves against the wall.

Oh, and it would have been perfect if it had been the second floor of the duplex, Frost thought. He turned his head to look at the bar and saw a boy of fifteen or sixteen, wearing a dark brown apron and wiping his hand on a coffee cup. There was a hint of surprise on the boy's face, but he was not afraid, and he looked at the three uninvited guests before continuing with the work at hand.

"What, it turned out to be Luo Lian's soldiers," the young man smiled, "Please inside, here has always been a refusal." ”

"Who are you? Unakin asked, observing the storefront closely.

"My name is John Schneider and I am the owner of this shop. He replied, "I say, 'Isn't that an obvious fact?'

"Is this your store?" Yunakin walked over and leaned against the bar, "Where's your parents?"

"Are you here for the census? Why is that all there is to it......?" replied John impatiently, "yes, this is mine, my parents are long gone, are you satisfied?"

Yunakin smiled, seeming to get a satisfactory answer. He beckoned Frost and Wendy to find a seat and continue the conversation with the boy himself.

"Three cups of raw coffee, and ...... Can you do us a favor?"

"Okay, the coffee will be brought by the puppy in a moment, you guys wait a moment. John said, fiddling with tools to make coffee, "As for the help you are talking about, what is it?"

"Where to hide," Master Chief pointed to the door behind John, "and the necessities." ”

"What a headache, I can't let the guests sleep in the warehouse, right? The room is in the innermost part, and there is an entrance next to the bookshelves. ”

"Frost, go check it out. Unakin said in a commanding tone, and Frost also very much catered to the atmosphere and immediately went into action.

He walked deeper into the café, and there was an iron door next to the bookshelf, but it was locked, so he had to ask Axia to open it for him.

The hard iron walls and the cold air exude it, and it must not be comfortable to live here at all. There were very few things in the room, just a bed, a wardrobe and a set of desks. Frost noticed a lot of nameplates hanging in front of his desk, and when he looked closely, he realized that they were the identification of the soldiers. The boy had collected more than a hundred, and it was like a medal of glory to hang in such a place.

It seems that the chill he felt from the moment he entered the store was not an illusion, John was by no means simple, either he himself or he had a backer behind him. In short, if they continue to threaten him, the consequences may be very bad.

He walked out of the room, where Yunakin and John were still talking normally. Exia may have secretly told Yunakin about his discovery, and the situation is okay.

"That's my room," John raised his voice, "the empty one is on the other side, the bathroom is behind the aquarium, you guys feel free." ”

Frost sat back in his seat, his coffee already served, his cup steaming. The glass in front of Wendy was already empty, so I'm afraid I drank it all in one gulp as soon as I came up.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to agree to us so readily, John Schneider. Yunakin took a sip of coffee and shook the cup meaningfully, "Is it really okay to be guilty of fornicating with the enemy?"

"Who knows," John shrugged, "maybe I'm in a good mood." Then again, is that young lady a tactical humanoid?"

"Tactical humanoid? No, she's an artificial ligand, simply an artificial life. ”

"Poof~ Aren't they all the same?Ah, it's me who is too talkative, can you let me see it when I come back?...... Miss Artificial Ligand?"

"Wendy. Wendy spat out her name, "There's no problem with the chief's permission." ”

"Whatever you like. ”

"It's a deal!" John's eyes flashed with excitement, "I'll help fix the problems that I have detected, but I have learned them before, and both masters are very powerful." ”

Frost looked at him suspiciously, and from his smiling face he really couldn't tell who he was.

"Feel the go, clothes...... Oh yes, and cigarettes, these are all our former favors. Turn the sign over when you go out, and it's not suitable for business recently. ”

"I know, less verbose. ”

After he finished speaking, he took the door and went out.
