Chapter 32: The City in the Clouds
"After the Dark Age, it was Eric who re-established the human order, and this beautiful and magnificent city in the clouds is a witness ......"
Dressed in brown retro robes, Eric stood on the high platform, the whole hall echoed with his preaching, but under the high platform were countless pairs of numb or indignant eyes, Mu Lan mixed in with the scavengers, and did not forget to use detection spells to remember the structure of the Cloud City along the way.
This is the city in the clouds, the world of the Erics, the spaceship has been in the air for a long time, about eight hours, according to the speed of the ship, this should be a place very far from the city.
As Andrew said, the Eric people do live in the sky, a city built on the sky.
The Eric transporter unloaded the cages in the hold one by one like a cargo, and then drove all the scavengers into a closed room, and after closing the door, Mu Lan thought that her plan had been miscalculated, thinking that the Eric people really wanted to kill all the scavengers en masse.
The disinfectant water with a pungent smell fell from the sky, Mu Lan was directly drenched into a soup chicken, and Eric disinfected all the scavengers in a simple and rude way, and she took an unforgettable "cold bath" in the reincarnation world.
After confirming that it was disinfectant water instead of poison, Mu Lan was relieved, she still thought that this huge secret room was similar to the gas bath that efficiently slaughtered Jews in the World War, since the Eric people disinfected them, it means that the living scavengers are useful, and her plan has a basis for realization.
From the moment she learned that the reward for living scavengers was twice as high as that for death, she was a little curious, and the extremely inefficient killing behavior of these Eric people was more like a fun mentality, and this so-called "hunting season" was more like a "show".
The "hunting season" is actually the act of capturing slaves for the Eric society, and the "show" is like an add-on, and the ground is a playground used to satisfy the Eric people's desire to kill.
After the cleaning, all the scavengers were brought into this wide hall, Mu Lan found that the Eric people have a special love for silver, most of the buildings in the cloud city are silver-white, this hall is a bit like the main god space, their architectural style is magnificent without losing the sense of technology, the white hall that can accommodate thousands of people is full of metal statues with a unique artistic style.
"Eric shelters you outcasts in the wasteland, gives you clean food and rooms, you need to be grateful, and contribute to the prosperity of the Cloud City......"
Thinking back to the present, the robed Eric man was still preaching loudly at length, and from his words, Mu Lan learned that the scavengers would become an important labor force in the cloud city in the future, and they would be assigned to various positions in the city that needed production.
It's similar to what Mu Lan guessed before, the Eric people look up to themselves as superior people, so how does this magnificent cloud city run, they didn't click on the technology tree of artificial intelligence, there are always people who have to take on the labor, and the scavengers on the ground are the best choice.
Mu Lan didn't think that the Eric people would treat the scavengers very well, judging from their wanton killing, they didn't treat the scavengers as their own kind, and draining their blood in the infinite labor was probably the final outcome for most people.
When Eric, the robe, had finally finished speaking, he nodded at his entourage, and the Eric with his guns stepped forward and shouted, "Children under fourteen years old!" ”
The crowd suddenly became noisy, but no one stood up for a long time.
The Eric man fired directly with a gun, and the scavenger in front of him fell down in an instant, and the blood was pouring from the silver-white ground, and he used not a stun gun, but a lethal real guy.
"Disobedience is death! I don't have patience! ”
People looked at each other, some boys and girls came out consciously, while some young people who were crying out for their own people stood up directly, but before they could take a few steps, they were shot and knocked to the ground.
The cold-blooded and ruthless method of intimidation caused many people to kneel on the ground in fright, and many children walked out of the crowd trembling.
"Don't take my baby!"
The cries of women were heard in the crowd, and the Eric people impatiently pushed away from the crowd and walked in that direction, the scavengers all consciously getting out of the way.
Mu Lan saw that a scavenger woman held the little girl and refused to let go, and the little girl was also crying, and at the same time looked at the Eric man who was approaching in horror, trying to get rid of her mother's control.
"You're going to die...... Let me pass! The little girl said as she sobbed.
When the scavenger women heard their daughter's dissuasion, they cried even more bitterly, and many of them lowered their heads.
"I said, I'm impatient!" Eric shouted angrily, and when he saw that the little girl was not in the queue, he turned his gun on the scavenger woman.
Mu Lan saw Lin Yiyi in the crowd, she was lip syncing to herself, meaning whether to do it or not.
Mu Lan glanced at the surrounding environment again, she has been perceiving the surrounding structure since the spaceship docked in Cloud City, Cloud City is actually a large spaceship in the sky, they were brought into the interior from a dock-like place, her perception range is limited, but with the speculation of understanding the environment, this should be the bottom of Cloud City, there are a large number of factory workshops, and the captured scavengers should be involved in labor here.
The upper floor should be the activity place of the core residents of Cloud City, that is, where the Eric live, Mu Lan thought that it would be sent to the factory in batches in the future, and this might be the best opportunity, so she slowly approached Lin Yiyi.
took out Lin Yiyi's bow and arrow from the carry-on space, and handed her an arrow, there were a lot of people around, the Eric guard didn't notice him, Lin Yiyi touched the bow and arrow as if he had touched a treasure, and said excitedly: "This is the enchanted bow and arrow that I spent a lot of evolution points to exchange, and I don't feel at ease when I put it there with you!" ”
"Are you sure?" Mu Lan asked.
"Don't worry, you can watch me kill in all directions!" Lin Yiyi put on the arrow as she spoke, and then her eyes became focused on the smile, and a golden light flashed on the bow arm, she pursed the corners of her mouth, and then the arrow came out of the string.
The arrow turned into a red light and went straight to the place where the Eric guards gathered, and then the white light flashed, and the flesh and blood of several Eric people in the center of the explosion point were directly blown up, and the entire hall was instantly chaotic.
"Enemy attack!"
"There's an enemy attack!"
The Eriks turned their guns on the crowd, and then several more arrows hit the ground, and explosions rang out one after another.
Eric, who wanted to snatch the little girl, saw the explosions around him, and immediately wanted to squeeze out of the crowd to support his teammates, but was stopped by Mu Lan.
"Fuck off! Inferior ......"
Before the Eric man's words were finished, he froze in place, and after Mu Lan released the spell [Chaos], she took out Johnny's sniper rifle from the carry-on space, and because it was very close, she directly held the gorgeous rifle against the Eric man's chest and pulled the trigger.
Shots rang out, blood splattered, and Eric fell to the ground.
