11. Devon City

Two hours later, it was already full dawn, and a jeep sped out of the Ranger camp.

Although in a hurry, Roger kept his promise and repaired Rayson's exoskeleton. I also learned that Rayson was also going to Devon City, and I picked him up by the way.

There were three people sitting in the car, in addition to Roger and Rayson, and Jiaming, who had already bandaged his head and buttoned his hat. Having seen Rayson fight alone in black armor without falling behind, he didn't dare to be presumptuous at this time.

"yes, okay, got it."

Jiaming put down the radio and reported to Roger: "Commander, the camp has been counted. Both armors are scrapped, and it will take a long time to repair them; Our casualties...... More than half, the search team and the combat team combined, and now there are less than fifty people who can still hold guns. Bob...... Didn't come back. ”

Speaking of this, Jiaming took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

After a long while, he continued: "According to your instructions, the recruitment broadcast has now stopped, and the search team has arranged several groups of people to go out to find other suitable places to set up camps, and strive to transfer all personnel, materials, and equipment within twenty days, and if we haven't returned by then, they will notify us by radio." ”

Roger didn't speak, just nodded in response.

After a long period of silence, Jiaming turned his head, looked at Rayson in the back seat, and asked tentatively, "What are you going to do when you go to Devon City?" ”

Rayson was closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't open his eyes: "Find someone." ”

"Looking for someone?" Jiaming was stunned: "We are also going to find someone, are you ......?"

"What I'm looking for shouldn't have anything to do with your people." Rayson interrupted directly.

For Yan Na, the girl who had wanted to woo herself to join the Rangers, Rayson didn't care too much. It's not cold-blooded, it's just that as a person who can't even be sure how long he will live, he doesn't dare to waste his time on other things. All he wanted was to find Su Ling as soon as possible.

Seeing that Rayson obviously didn't have much enthusiasm to continue chatting, Jiaming stopped talking.

On the contrary, it was Roger, who suddenly spoke: "Devon City is different from our Ranger camp, there are a lot of fish and dragons there. Young man, after that you have to be completely on your own, you are careful. ”

Rayson was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he suddenly asked, "Do you know that the saints will?" ”

"Like...... I've heard of it. Jiaming thought for a while: "It is said that it is a group of guys who believe in some sun god, and it seems to be quite mysterious." Devon City is supposed to have their people, but we haven't seen them before. ”

After speaking, Jiaming looked back at Lei Sheng in the back seat again: "The people you are looking for are related to them?" ”

"Probably." Rayson finished and closed his eyes again.

About half an hour had passed since I came out of the camp, and not far away, a city appeared at the end of the desert.

The car approached the past. Because it is a big city, it is impossible to build a wall on the perimeter like the Ranger camp, but the main entrance and exit are still guarded. At the pass into the city, I saw that only two avenues were blocked for driving, and the others were blocked by large stones, and there were three well-equipped soldiers standing on each side of the avenue outside the pass, as well as a power armor patrolling, bunkers, heavy fire weapons, and automatic batteries.

Even those soldiers are uniformly dressed and armed, and it can be seen that the forces behind these people must be extraordinary.

Roger slowed down the car and said to Rayson in a deep voice: "These are all the people of Millega, the city lord of Devon City, there are at least one thousand eight hundred in the city, and there are more than a dozen power armors. Young man, I know you have some abilities, but here I advise you to keep a low profile. ”

The patrolling power armor came up and stopped the jeep, and when it saw that it was Roger, he greeted him: "Rare guest, Roger." Why are you here this time? ”

"There are some things to deal with, and maybe, I'll talk to your boss."

The wearer of the power armor nodded, not looking at Jiaming, but paying attention to Rayson.

Rayson's exoskeleton is now worn under his coat, and if he doesn't bring headphones and monocles, he can't tell that he has mechanical equipment on him. But the enemy analyzer of power armor can detect it.

However, he didn't seem to care, and asked Roger casually, "Raw faces?" Your people? ”

Roger thought for a moment before he said, "Sort of...... My friend. ”

Although they fought together, Rayson also saved his own life. But Roger was well aware that Rayson didn't need himself as his friend at all and didn't care. I say this just to make it easier for everyone to go into the city.

"Okay, let's go inside." Power Armor waved his hand to signal to the soldiers behind him, let the jeep go, and told Roger more: "Remember to follow the rules in the city, even if you meet someone you don't like, don't get into trouble." Don't make everyone look bad. ”

Roger didn't speak again, and stepped on the gas pedal with a gloomy face.

When the jeep got inside, the power-armored wearer knocked on the metal head in confusion.

"Is the analyzer broken? How could the danger index of that person just now not be analyzed? ”

Not long after entering the city, the jeep stopped at random at an interface. Rayson got out of the car, everyone had their own things to do, and then, he was on his own.

Without saying goodbye, Rayson was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Roger again.

"Young man, I don't know what your name is?"

"Rayson."

Leaving his name, Rayson walked away.

"Rayson...... Rayson? Roger always felt that this name was very familiar, and after thinking about it, it matched the familiar ancients and familiar faces in his memory.

Roger hurriedly rushed out of the car and chased him out, but looking around, there was no Rayson.

"How is that possible...... Is it really him? How so? ”

Roger stood still, his face still full of shock.

At this time, Rayson was wandering around Devon City, the area around it was as dilapidated as the Spirit Capital, the kind of bustling city that Rayson had seen was a thing of the past, and all that could be seen was lifeless, civilians in tattered clothes, hunger and greed in their eyes, vigilant eyes on everything, and the smell of sulfur and dust in the air. From time to time, groups of soldiers could be seen patrolling, and civilians would hide far away with a look of fear when they saw them walking by.

Rayson is not aimless, he has always chosen the most dilapidated but still populated direction to go deeper. Finally, I walked into a small alley, where the ground was full of sewage, mixed with musty smell, and there was urine in the corner of the wall that I don't know if it was a person or an animal, and all kinds of indescribable smells.

It's a dead end, and when Rayson gets to the end, there is a group of people at the entrance of the alley.

These people were armed with iron pipes and sticks, all dressed in tattered clothes, some of them had no shoes, their hair was disheveled, they had not bathed for some time, and there were flies circling over their heads.

One of them picked up the steel pipe and pointed at Rayson: "Boy! Hand over all the useful things on your body, or I'll kill you! ”

The barefoot man stared at Rayson's leather boots: "I want his shoes, I feel like they should fit my feet." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Another guy with sharp-beaked monkey gills and a mouse-like face yelled. "Let's beat him up and pick him up!"

Standing on the outermost side of the alley was a fat man with a simple face: "I'm hungry ......"

"Eat, eat, eat! Just know how to eat! The rat face jumped up and patted the fat man on the head, and then pointed at Rayson: "Go!" You beat him! After the beating, there is something to eat! ”

In this world where human life is as thin as paper, anyone can do whatever it takes to plunder what they want. Not to mention this group of homeless people.

Rayson smiled, he was waiting, such a person.

With a cruel smile, Rayson took the initiative to meet him.

"Is this kid crazy? What to laugh at? I ......"

Half a minute later.

Rayson stood at the entrance of the alley.

The group of homeless people were all put to the ground by Rayson, lying on the ground and wailing, and the fat man was grabbed by Rayson on the head, and his head was pressed into the wall, and he was silent.

After a while, some of the defeated homeless people stood up, and saw that their burliest fat man was not Rayson's enemy, and Rayson blocked the entrance of the alley, and could not escape at all, so he was at a loss for a while.

After the rat face got up, he saw this situation and knelt on the ground very decisively.

"This boss! We have eyes that don't know Tarzan! We were wrong! Let's kill a dog! ”

Seeing this, the other homeless people knelt down and begged for mercy from Rayson. Rayson sneered, and as soon as he let go, the fat man fell to the ground limply against the wall. He didn't use the power of the exoskeleton, and he didn't even really hit the heavy hands, and this group of homeless people didn't deserve to be taken too seriously for him.

Rayson walked over to Mouse Face: "You stay, the others can get out." ”

The homeless people all hesitated, and after a while, at the signal of one of them, they got up and fled, and did not forget to drag away the fainting fat man.

The rat's face was full of cold sweat on his head, he couldn't understand, why did this master leave himself behind? So many people, do you especially hate yourself? Why is he so unlucky?

Rat Face was still kneeling on the ground, nervous, but an indifferent voice came from overhead: "I need a place where I can speak quietly." ”

A moment later, under a bridge hole.

After observing the surroundings and making sure that the partition wall had no ears, the rat face rubbed his hands and asked Rayson, who was brought here by himself, with a flattering face: "This boss, what do you want to say?" ”

"I ask, you answer." Rayson said coldly.

The mouse face nodded hurriedly: "You just ask, I promise to know everything." ”

"Is there an organization in this city called the Society of Saints?"

Rat Face thought for a while and nodded: "It seems that there is, but I have only heard about it, it seems that they showed up once at the slave auction some time ago." This group of guys is different from other forces, they rarely move, and they don't show up much, as if they are afraid that others will know about them. ”

"Other forces?" Rayson frowned: "Are there still many forces in this city?" ”

"This boss, you should be here for the first time, right?" Rat Face quickly explained: "There are more forces in this city. In addition to the Saints' Society, there is also a royal legion, which is the most arrogant, and they go sideways everywhere; Then there is another Ranger named Ranger, which can also be seen often, it is said that they are enemies with the Royal Army, and the base camp seems to be not far from Devon City. ”

Rayson raised his eyebrows, even the Ranger camp knew, it seemed that he had indeed found the right person.

"In addition to these, there is also a crusader called the Crusader, who can be seen from time to time, and every time they appear, they are wearing big iron shells, and no one dares to mess with them. ”

The big iron shell should refer to power armor. Rayson couldn't help but be curious, from the time the jeep came in just now, he found that the city lord of Devon City, Millega, didn't seem to be worried about the entry of foreign forces.

"Listen to you, there's really everyone here. Aren't there any conflicts and accidents in normal times? ”

Rat Face shook his head: "Not really, although there are many forces that haunt the city, but in the final analysis, Devon City is still Millega's, and these forces, I guess they can only walk around the city with his permission." There are soldiers patrolling everywhere here, and if anyone dares to make trouble, they will be kicked out at least or killed in the street, which has happened several times before, and many people have died, and then everyone understands the rules, and they are settled. ”

It seems that the city of Devon is still a central area, and Millegar has not built it into a completely closed camp, but has made it a semi-open city, allowing others to pass through and enter.

Rayson thought for a moment, then asked, "Then, the slave auction ......?"

"Hey! Maurice! ”

At this time, a group of people suddenly appeared not far away, making a commotion. If you look closely, it is a group of teenagers, all of whom are fifteen or sixteen years old, and most of them are skinny.

However, they were full of energy, they did not look sick, and even had inexplicable arrogance and arrogance on their faces, and they all carried machetes and other weapons on their bodies.

Mouse Face was obviously afraid of this group of teenagers, and when he saw them appear, he lowered his head and didn't dare to squeak.

One of them, dressed in a waistcoat and with his ribs and chest, rushed up and grabbed the rat's face, which was half a head taller than himself, and pressed him, forcing the rat's face to bend over and become as tall as himself.

"You kid, have a guest?" The ruffian glanced at Rayson, then smiled at the rat face, "I'm glad to have a guest here, right?" That also makes Lao Tzu happy and happy, pay the protection fee. ”

The rat-faced Mauriston was shocked: "It's not that I just got ...... two days ago"

Before he finished speaking, the rat face was slapped in the face. The ruffian strangled the neck of the rat face under his armpits, as if he was very powerful, and said condescendingly: "I specially asked you to hand it over, where is there so much nonsense?" You want to disobey Lao Tzu, right? ”

Maurice didn't dare to squeak with a bitter face, and his head was pulled up by his hair again, and he was kicked in the stomach, and he lay on the ground.

The ruffian kicked Maurice who fell to the ground: "Let you talk nonsense!" Dare to question Lao Tzu? ”

This fight was very sudden, and I felt that the ruffian was just looking for a random reason, simply trying to beat Maurice.

But I have to say that this scene is very weird to watch, an adult is lying on the ground, beaten by a teenager who has not grown all his hair, and he does not dare to resist.

After kicking for a while, the ruffian stopped out of breath and sneered at Mauris on the ground: "I forgot to tell you, the new regulations, the protection fee will be paid once every three days in the future." ”

Mauriston, who was lying on the ground and humming with pain on his face, was startled, and quickly crawled over and hugged the ruffian's leg and begged: "No, I'll die if I take it like this, where can I go to find so many things for you?" ”

"It's about Lao Tzu!" It took a lot of effort for the ruffian to pull his foot out, and a mouthful of phlegm spat on Maurice's face: "I'll tell you, if you can't hand it over, just wait to be beaten, Lao Tzu has the energy to play you to death." Don't try to hide, as long as you're still in Devon City, Lao Tzu will be able to dig you out in minutes. ”

The others followed, and a few of them kicked Maurice a few times as if they were playful: "Remember to pay the protection money, or I'll kill you!" ”

Rayson always looked at all this coldly and did not say a word.

The ruffian puffed up his ribs and chest, held his chin high, and turned his defiant gaze to Rayson: "Boy, you don't know each other, huh?" Don't know how to take something to honor Lao Tzu? You want to clean up too, don't you? ”

The ruffian looked at Rayson, noticed the long cloth bag he was carrying behind him, and said angrily, "Boy! What's that thing on your back? Lao Tzu wants it! Why don't you bring it soon? ”

Looking at the ruffian's much shorter figure than himself, his face full of seven disobedience and eight resentment, Rayson only smiled disdainfully: "...... Scold. ”

This laugh immediately made the ruffian extremely angry: "Made! Are you smiling? It seems that I still have to teach you what the rules are! ”

The ruffian rushed in front of Rayson in three steps and two steps, and slapped him in the face.
