Chapter 7: Screaming

By the time the mercenary police squeezed through the hatch, the screaming elevator kicked in.

Jeno, who was standing inside, didn't feel much, but he felt a strong tremor at first, and then calmed down.

The cable on the top of the elevator contracted rapidly, and the fixed pulleys around it tightly snapped into the grooves on the giant iron pillar, so that the scream would not produce any shaking, and Jeno wondered what kind of machine it was on top that could easily lift tens of tons of weight.

Jeno didn't know how high he was at this point, and the presence of the poisonous mist affected his senses' judgment of the speed of ascent.

The metal conducts heat, and the screaming activation makes the nearby iron railing heat up quickly, and the person leaning on the railing is scalded and screaming, Jeno is glad to have come in early, and the person standing in that position is not himself.

The usual screams are not ridden by so many people, most of them are some merchants and wealthy people who come to some places in Zu'an to have fun, there is plenty of space inside, everyone can find their favorite corner to stay, you can also dance and sing in it, and the usual railing is just warm.

But in this special period, a large number of fugitives have filled this only screaming squad, and even overloaded, in the case of exceeding the maximum load, increase the running speed and shorten the buffer cooling time, but it is strange that it is not hot, and if it goes on like this, the scream will break down sooner or later.

The people standing on the edge of the railing frantically squeezed towards the center area and the glass wall next to it to avoid being burned, and the crowd surged again, and the chaotic footsteps on the grid steel plate made the latter squeak and scream from metal fatigue.

The crowd squeezed him and Orianna together and couldn't move, Orianna lay on the inner wall of the glass like a wet tissue, and Jeno who was protecting her was also slammed on Oryanna like a piece of stinking shit, he swore that he had pressed his hands against the glass wall very hard, but how could he resist the flood of force from the crowd.

Orianna leaned against the glass wall, facing Jeno, this magical position that went further than the wall dong caused by embarrassment or embarrassment, both of them could feel that the other was different from their own, at this moment, they were both growing rapidly.

In addition, Jeno always has an inexplicable feeling that he will fall at any moment.

Because the glass wall is inclined outward, they look suspended against it, like walking on the glass plank road, it is impossible not to panic, and the screaming inside is so dense, maybe when the glass will be burst, then he and Oriana will fall down as soon as possible, so he thinks about it, he is even more panicked, and he can only hope that the quality of this glass in front of him is comparable to that made in Huaxia.

Orianna watched Jeno give up the treatment, no longer trying to use her hands to help her open up the activity space, and then pasted it with a panicked face, and her expression under the mask became even more panicked.

It's the first time to do such a strange thing with a guy like this, although she knows that there is no way, but she still feels that it is too unruly.

"It was a terrible experience." She thought that if Jeno hadn't been so dirty, he would feel much better than he was now.

If she hadn't had a mask on, she wouldn't have thought that when she smelled Jeno.

Syllable!

Just as Orianna was in a state of despair and Jeno was in for a moment, a crisp collision sound was heard outside the glass cover above their heads.

When I looked up, a boy dressed in patches and messy hair rushed out of the poisonous mist, and after the crow took the plane, the whole person pounced on the dome.

Then he quickly stood up, vacated his position, and shouted diagonally upward, and a few seconds later, a girl in a floral dress threw herself into his arms in a panic.

The boy danced happily and hugged affectionately, while the girl glanced at him fiercely and hurriedly covered her skirt, and the people under the dome let out a burst of boos.

Some in the crowd let out a few exclamations when they saw the scene, but many more said they were used to it.

"What are they doing?" Orianna covered her mouth in surprise.

"Dog food."

"Dog food?"

"Show affection!"

"Not this! What I'm asking is why they jumped on it! Oriana's tone was a little quicker.

"It's like ...... Pickpocketing screams. Jeno said uncertainly, he had no memory of this, this body had never left Zaun, only heard it in the mouths of those who had bullied him.

Screaming is one of the many rituals that the children of Zaun need to go through. Other rituals include climbing to the top of the Old Hungry Lord's Clock Tower on all fours (Ike's rite of passage to climb the tower with his bare hands), cutting his wallet with one of the alchemy's men, or teasing a ditch scavenger who is on stilts (to avoid skin contact with sewage in the gutter, as these people can easily cause them to fall into a poisonous gutter, which is a bad behavior, as Jeno was a former scavenger). These rituals are endless and sinister, but only then can you prove that you are a street kid you can't mess with.

This is the reason why there are few people in Zaun and the mortality rate remains high.

These people came through a narrow ventilation duct to a small hole in the patio wall, and there was no child in Zuan who did not know about this road.

Picking up the scream, in fact, is to stand on the hollow when the scream rises, predict a leap of faith in advance, and then land steadily on the dome.

This kind of Jackie Chan-style action, which can basically only be seen in movies, is one of the trials of many street boys to prove their courage in Zu'an, successful people can take a day trip to Picheng, which is full of wealth on the street, to see their favorite Picheng girl, and then find a rich man to go back to Zu'an Shimmer Bar for a dip, drunk and dreaming of death; Those who fail will not be drunk and will die directly.

And Victor said, "Scream, there is no money and no money." It means screaming.

But now it is different from usual, the thick poisonous fog covers the sky and the sun, and Jeno who is standing in the screaming can't see the mouth of the ventilation duct, so the people on the ventilation duct are naturally difficult to see the location of the scream, which leads to an increase in the difficulty of prediction, and the danger factor increases sharply, even those who are experienced are likely to die because of this, you can imagine how happy the kid above is to see his beloved girl safe and sound.

And those children who want to leave Zu'an through this often have different degrees of poisoning, and at this time, what is the difference between using this sick body to do such a dangerous thing and giving away people's heads?

This kind of thing is usually done in groups, and the way the girl keeps waving and waving in the air indicates that someone will fall to the dome next.

The girl's concern was palpable, and her screams pierced the dome and reached Jeno's ears:

"Jump! Lukewarm! No matter how late it is, there will be no chance! ”

"Oh...... Looks like the next one is a rookie who skipped the tutorial for beginners. ”

Jano's words lifted Oriana's entire heart to her throat, and as soon as she finished speaking, a figure slammed into the glass.
