Chapter 274: The City of Steel
The hue of the whole planet is dark, and all kinds of exhaust fumes have polluted it to tatters, like a fifty-year-old smoker, who takes a breath and makes a "hiss" sound rolling with phlegm in his throat.
It's a bit of a depression to watch.
Looking down from above, you can see patches of rudimentary instruments made to save money, these buildings don't last long, they don't last long, the quality is not very good, and then they still have these functions and are faster than those high-tech buildings with ornate shells.
This is a product of war.
Patches of white smoke and darkness rose from the night, as if the entire city was filled with such exhaust fumes during the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century.
A noise came from the machines, the whole city was very dirty, there were hardly any decent buildings to be seen, and the planet was clearly once an abandoned planet.
The demand for war has led to the current scene, and because of the war, the buildings here are very simple, and no one knows when war will break out on this planet.
In the midst of war, all ornate and expensive buildings will be reduced to worthless ruins, so what's the point of spending money to build them?
And what kind of people live here?
Most of them were soldiers of the Empire, and then some outlaws, or some hunters, or even fugitives from other countries who had committed a lot of crimes.
There are all sorts of people in distress, prostitutes, bars, inns are the most common and must exist.
Violence is always there, there is no order here, although the army of the empire is nominally in power, but as long as it does not get in their way, and does not trouble them, they care so much about you?
I am all a butt of troubles and things, where is the leisure?
Even some officers occasionally come out to have some "fun".
The Purgatory Legion's barracks are huge, and at a glance, there are terrifying standard warships parked, as well as the Gundam Base, where some robots are busy up and down, and flash cars are rushing through them.
Most of these warships are not combat-type, all of them are space-jumping, have stealth capabilities, and are all transportation equipment of the Purgatory Squad, they take these warships to the battlefield, stop where there is no space defense line, and then start to complete the task of the upper hair.
It can be seen that one battleship after another takes off, and then one after another lands, very frequently, and the wounded are constantly sent for treatment.
The whole camp was very busy, running like clockwork.
Because of the huge size of the camp, it is even equipped with a flash car, which is a car that can jump on a small scale and can reach the destination extremely quickly, which shows the heritage of the Demon Empire.
Their factory is like tofu, tall and neat, sweeping past with no end in sight, but exhaust fumes constantly wafting out of it.
Where the source of those smoke in the sky is.
And where is also the calmest place in the entire camp, there is no single figure in sight on the surface, and there are many protections set up around it, and it is heavily guarded, which is obviously a major place for the manufacture of scientific and technological weapons.
According to a slight estimate, the logistics staff is about one million, and all of them are serving these tens of thousands of purgatory elites.
And the only city on this planet, the city of steel, is even more full of "characteristics", and at a glance, tall buildings are extremely rare.
Most of them are simple buildings that resemble concrete, and as for the image?????? Basically, here, if you don't lack a brick in that house, and drop a large piece of wall ash, you're embarrassed to stand in the Steel City.
Clutter is the theme, and most of the buildings here are covered with some mixture of pitch black, on the walls, on the signs, on the windows, more or less.
This is a substance unique to this planet, floating in the air, sticking to things will slowly gather more and more, and over time something similar to this sticky matter will form.
The streets are also very messy, with dirty water pooling on them, all kinds of garbage floating on them, and in some places you can see wine bottles all over the floor, and the city administrators, who pay the cleaners to clean it up once a week.
But it only takes one night for everything to go back to the way it was, and everyone is used to it, and no one cares.
Cultivators won't get sick anyway, who cares?
Some of the streets are neon-green, and prostitutes sit on couches in the halls in revealing clothes, seducing passing visitors, and most of the streets are such establishments.
It was also one of the most popular places for Imperial soldiers.
However, there is a bar almost every two streets, and for the City of Steel, this is the only place of entertainment, so even with so many bars, business is never bad.
Strange city.
And then there are a lot of residential areas, even if this planet is messy, it is also in the high-level star field, and the intensity of the aura is not to be said, and the cost of renting a house is extremely expensive.
You must know that the Iron City and the Purgatory Barracks are in the Iron City, and the remaining small areas are places of death, and it is impossible to cultivate, even if your cultivation is very high and you are not afraid of those places, but it is light to cultivate in it.
This planet is also one of the few open planets, because he needs to accept outsiders to serve the empire, so many cultivators flock to it, and the price of the house skyrockets.
The Infernal Legion has made a windfall by making good use of these "resources", and it is a continuous windfall.
Not to mention cultivating on the streets, for such a chaotic place, that kind of behavior will undoubtedly wipe your neck.
This is the current situation of Tianyu, cultivators in small places have to drill into the high-level area by all means, and under such a rich aura, the cultivation speed is naturally greatly increased.
And this planet is such a strange existence, and it has also attracted a lot of cannon fodder and masters for the empire.
You're cultivating here, what if you run out of money? It doesn't matter, the Empire's Levy Points allow you to earn money, it's simple, just go to the battlefield and kill the enemy.
This is how many people become hunters, some die on the battlefield, some benefit a lot, and the realm rises again and again, in the past few years, there are several holy areas that have come out of here, which is enviable.
And Fu Han is now one of them, and he has come to this area alone, basically penniless except for the shadows.
The reason why he didn't take money from the warehouse of the Great Qin Empire is very simple, it doesn't make any sense to him if he takes less, and the Great Qin Empire is in a financial crisis if he takes too much, so don't take it.
The levy point is the tallest building in the Steel City, and the space inside is still very large using the space technology.
It has the most complete photograph of the Iron City, with the words: Imperial Levy Point.
A pair of black leather boots stopped under the photo, and Fu Han, dressed in a black suit, came to the gate of this conscription point, surrounded by people coming and going, there were all kinds of races, their clothes were of different colors, some were extremely powerful, and some were relatively weak, and there was a solemn atmosphere on their bodies.
Among them, there are groups of people, which are some spontaneously organized hunting squads, after all, it is too dangerous to walk alone, although the team will get fewer rewards, but the safety factor is relatively large.
This is also a combat mode modeled after the Purgatory Squad, a model that has been verified by countless battles.
Of course, there are also a lot of lone rangers, they are either extremely powerful beings, or they are not used to trusting the existence of others, and there is no doubt that the lone ranger is the most powerful of all hunters.
However, there are also wars between these hunters, and out of this planet, most of them are in a relationship of mutual war, and there are even special hunters who directly rob others of the results of their battles, which is a very common thing.
Therefore, to participate in the recruitment of the Demon Empire, you must not only face the guns in front, but also beware of the cold shuttle behind you.
It's a dangerous job, but in order to get ahead, there is still a steady stream of people involved.
Happiness and meaning are rarely thought about, so why get ahead? Most of them don't know what it's like to get ahead, but they just know: I must get ahead.
As everyone knows, the strength of the heart is the foundation, up and up, over this mountain, found that there is a big mountain ahead, but when you can really ignore everything, you suddenly find that everything has lost its meaning.
Entering it, Fuhan has a feeling of sudden enlightenment, most of the buildings in the Steel City are crowded, and the streets are also very narrow, because the space is used to the maximum, and entering it, the spacious hall, neat carpets, and gorgeous lighting make it seem to enter another world.
At a glance, there are thousands of counters in front of you, each with a long line in front of it, this is the mission hall of low-level hunters.
And these people in line are all for the same purpose as Fu Han, to obtain the status of a hunter, to receive a certification badge and a detailed battlefield intelligence map.
Of course, maps can change from moment to moment, and updates may not be so timely, and if you believe in the map with a dead brain, you will die a miserable death.
The one who hands in the task is on the next level.
There is a level for every two tiers, with the Hunter being the lowest, the Butcher at the top, and so on.
Fu Han's honest party, about two hours later, it was his turn, and at the counter was a soldier in a black uniform with dark gold stripes, and the rank he had on his shoulders showed that he was a second lieutenant, and his cultivation was in the late Xuan rank.
His expression was flat, he looked at Fu Han, pointed to the instrument on the table and said mechanically, "Put your hand on this." ”
Fu Han did as he was told.
After a "drop", a badge appeared, and the second lieutenant handed the badge and map to Fu Han and said, "Next." ”
Fu Han took the thing and looked down, the pattern on the badge was very simple, a dagger was inserted into a skull, the map was a parchment scroll, but it was an electronic map, and it would be automatically updated within a certain range.
The role of the badge is simple, it is equivalent to a pass.
Of course, the most basic badge does not have any authority, but when the level reaches a certain level, it can enter the rest of the Demon Empire, and can even be granted military ranks, of course, these military ranks are not equipped with real power, but only have some privileges of this military rank.
Let's say something like "manslaughter quota".
