"The outside world turned out to be like this, the real wind, the real air, the real sky and the sunshine that wasn't always bright······ sure enough, the real scenery was more pleasant, but ······ Is this Uptown? ”

Standing on top of a tower made of dark metal, Qingyin condescendingly overlooked the scenery in front of him, and let out a sigh of emotion.

From his point of view, the dusty sky crossed the line with the half-barren and half-green earth in the distance, and the mountains were faintly visible, like the backbone of a giant, and like a giant beast lurking.

The two not too bright suns were covered by heavy dark clouds, which made this vast and boundless world slightly dim, desolate and oppressive, even if it was not lacking in emerald green colors, and the beasts and birds that were faintly visible in the sight also brought some life to the world, but the majestic and heavy momentum of nature still warned the world of the dangers contained in it all the time.

If you can't detect the oppression of the wilderness and the unknown threat from the scene on the horizon, then you can get a glimpse of the city under your feet.

The area of the entire Shangcheng District is not as large as imagined, Qingyin just drove the hovercar for more than 20 minutes to arrive at the outer city wall where it is now, the buildings seen along the way are almost all dark metal casting, not as tall and chic as the buildings in the underground city, but appear heavy and thick, the architectural style is also to abandon all the individuality of the same, the important thing is that the entire perimeter of the city is surrounded by impenetrable tall walls, the closer to the edge of the city, The more you can see the various forts and weapons placed on top of the buildings, which match the monotonous dark colors of the city, giving people a sense of breathless depression and solemnity.

It is rare to see ordinary hovercars in the city, replaced by heavy four-wheel drive vehicles, all kinds of military flying equipment flying in the sky of the city, and even the pedestrians in the city have many soldiers in various military uniforms patrolling and guarding.

The so-called Upper Town is more appropriate as a military fortress that allows civilians to enter and exit.

Such a scene made Qingyin have some understanding in his heart, it seems that the outside world really contains great danger, otherwise the city on the surface would not have built such a tall and heavy wall, and the high-power anti-aircraft turrets and energy weapons deployed in the city have also proved this in the shapeless.

This also made Qingyin have new doubts, it stands to reason that the Federation has discovered the Azure Star, a resource-rich habitable planet, for hundreds of years, and it should not be difficult to clear the threat of desolate beasts on this planet with the force controlled by the Federation, rather than spending so much financial resources and materials to strengthen defense, it is better to directly clear this planet, so as to completely control this planet? Isn't this a thankless and thankless task?

Maybe there are other reasons for this, Qingyin is not ready to delve into it, to put it bluntly, the world doesn't need him to worry about anything, he just needs to take care of his own safety and that of his family.

"The host ······"

In the small space at the top of the tower, a cloud of black smoke rose from behind Qingyin, and the splinter Hassan respectfully appeared behind him, reporting to him the latest situation.

"Oh, ready to get out of town? It's a little faster than I thought, so let's go first. ”

Qingyin thought about it and made a decision, and with a thought, the hovering sports car parked at the bottom of the building it was parked under it started on its own, opened its roof, and spewed a stream of air towards the top of the tower.

Qingyin jumped down with the splinter Hassan, caught by the hovering sports car just in time, and flew towards the perimeter of the city wall.

A team of federal soldiers on duty above the city wall couldn't help but laugh shamefully when they saw this cool hovering sports car flying into the field: "Another ignorant rich second generation, stupidly driving a high-end hovercar to the field to find excitement, and when the car breaks down, you have to trouble the rescue team to run, I really can't stand these idiots." ”

Another soldier with him smiled and said: "You care so much, the rescue team still wishes there were more idiots like this, they didn't take this opportunity to knock a lot of money, anyway, these guys are very rich, and they are willing to pay any amount of money after being scared by the monsters outside, and we can't envy it." ”

"That's right, by the way, the special combat team led by General Reinhardt has gone out to exercise in this direction these days, if he is lucky, he may be able to meet it, there are generals in charge there, but no one dares to blackmail the citizens casually, I just don't know if he has that luck."

"You think so much, anyway, it's not our turn, it's better to finish duty early and go back to take a nap early."

"You know how to sleep in a day, can you have a little bit of fun."

"Less, aren't you the same?"

·················

On the other side, under the guidance of the elite team members of the Starfall Mercenary Regiment, Qianyin registered the card hunter and mercenary qualification certificates, but it took more than half an hour to complete the formalities, and by the time they came to Shangcheng through the ascending passage, it was already close to noon.

Time is limited, and Asakane has to go home in the evening, so after the unanimous consent of the team members, the captain Reynolds decided to set off immediately to the mission location and strive to complete the mission within today.

Sitting in a rented outdoor driving car, a group of nine people sat in three cars, purchased a small amount of supplies, and drove out of the city unhurriedly.

It was also the first time for Qianyin to go out of the city, and looking at the heavy and oppressive scenery outside the car window, her eyes couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After all, it's the first time she has come to the outside world, and she's about to go into actual combat, even if her personality is calm, it's inevitable that it will be so, after all, she is just a fourteen-year-old girl.

It seemed to see her nervousness, and the intellectual big sister Delia, who was sitting in the back seat with her, gently soothed: "Xiao Qianyin, don't be too nervous~, this mission is only a low-level beast hunting mission, and the beasts on the periphery of the city are generally not too dense, so although it is inevitable to encounter battles, it is not too difficult for our team, you just should come to the outside world for sightseeing and experience life." ”

Hearing her words of comfort, Asain blinked her big watery eyes and wondered, "Is that so?" But the senior asked me to come here to increase my practical experience, and wouldn't it be too troublesome for you? If there's anything I need to do, please let me do my part, please, Sister Delia! ”

The serious light sound is also inexplicably cute, Di Liya saw it in her eyes, the smile on her face was more gentle, and she saw that the light sound was serious, and naturally she would not say anything like letting her treat her as a tourist, and we would protect you, but thought about it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Since you said so, I suddenly remembered that there is really something I want to ask you." ”

"Please, I'll do my best!"

"Sister, I'm a card master who specializes in skill cards, responsible for long-range support in the team, and many times will attract priority strikes from the enemy, but I'm not very good at hand-to-hand combat, so I need someone to protect me, Xiao Qianyin, this task is very important, can I entrust my safety to you?"

After listening to this, Qianyin nodded solemnly, and replied with a serious expression: "I know, Sister Delia, please leave your safety to me to protect!" I'm not going to let anything hurt you! ”

It's so cute~, I can't stand it~

That expression was really cute, Delia only felt that her heart was about to melt, and she couldn't help it anymore, she opened her "Wei'an" embrace, and hugged Qianyin tightly in her arms and kept rubbing:

"Well~~~, thank you so much, Xiao Qianyin, my sister really likes you so much~"

"Hmmm······"

A certain three cute things said that they couldn't understand it, and could only accept the inexplicable embrace and caress of this gentle big sister with a bewildered face:

······ Although I was entrusted with a task, I don't know why, I always feel that something is wrong, what is going on~

Captain Reynold, who was driving in the cab, saw this scene from the rearview mirror, and his calm face couldn't help but smile, and at the same time praised the wit of his deputy in his heart:

Sure enough, Delia is better at coaxing little girls, and she is worthy of being the most empathetic Delia in the team, so she can understand what I am thinking without saying it.

Anyway, with Delia's help watching, this commission shouldn't go wrong, and I can breathe a sigh of relief.

·····················

As the traffic progressed, the mercenary team drove out of the huge open city gate and followed the flat wasteland avenue into the wild frontier of the planet, the heavy wheels crushing the dry earth and raising yellow sand like smoke······
