Volume 2: Opening Chapter 64 Xingnan City
Luo Xia was so stunned that he looked at the sunset and the others who were walking away, and quickly shook his head to put this terrible thought away and walked towards the city.
In fact, with a little impulse, Luo Xia also wanted to leave with Luoyang and them to do something epoch-making, and life might become more exciting and meaningful.
But on the one hand, knowing this kind of thing, he was a little scared and hesitant, because Luo Xia himself didn't believe that he would have the spirit of dedication.
On the other hand, he was helpless, he couldn't go.
may be because he is the only survivor on the frontal battlefield except for Situ Gang, and he doesn't know why he is treated differently and needs to accept some arrangements such as 'investigation'.
Along the way, a huge tin-clad cart carried a group of soldiers whizzing by.
The lower part of the car is four huge black balls, which can be rolled at will, and there are many irregular grooves on them, faintly emitting a faint fluorescence...
In addition, there is only a heavy carriage without a front of the car, which is full of magic, and even looks a bit like trackless magnetic levitation.
Unfortunately, this type of transport is not common and is not open to the public.
Luo Xia watched the magic truck go away, and looked past the crowd at the hundred-meter-high building in the distance.
Although he had been in Xingnan City for a few days, he was still a little surprised by the alternative alchemy civilization in this world.
Although it is a mess, the stone road is more than ten meters wide.
A 7,8-meter-tall puppet creature that looks clumsy but has extremely intelligent discernment.
A four-wheel drive vehicle powered by power stones and a magic energy ball, as well as its exaggerated and gigantic construction workmanship.
Well, except for the slums, the general buildings in Xingnan City are at least 5,6 meters high for a single storey, and often the buildings of 3 and 1 floors are built with solid rocks throughout, which is wild and cold at a glance.
Except for the mysterious super technology, Luo Xia really couldn't think of any way to complete these buildings at once.
The stone city and Shiwangbao he had been to before were not far from Xingnan City, but they seemed to be two worlds here.
Seokseong, originally just a Heongnam Castle, was used as an annex city for agricultural farming, and was originally just a gathering place for some tenants and farmers.
It's just that with more than ten years of peace, Xingnan City has become more and more prosperous, and Shicheng has gradually become a small town. But in essence, she is just a farming colony.
Although Shiwangbao is also very grandiose, it is just a border city in the end, and everything is mainly militarized.
This also led to the fact that Luo Xia did not really know the world for the first time until this moment.
The style is rugged, magical in terms of violence and superstructure, but backward in terms of people's livelihood, more like the style of the feudal era.
If you think about it, it's normal that even in a world without transcendent existence, it's so difficult to achieve resource fairness.
In this world full of transcendent power, the strong have the vast majority of resources, and it is inevitable that the way to obtain resources is more crude and direct.
This has led to the fact that the world's 'technology' is completely inclined towards force and force.
As for the people's livelihood, what does not exist, there is the power to have everything. He who has no strength is not worthy of anything.
It's brutal and it's real.
Luo Xia's footsteps hurriedly crossed the main road south of Xingnan City, and turned all the way west into a side road.
Nancheng District is the main business and entertainment area of Xingnan City.
But few people know that in a remote corner near the city walls, not far from the entertainment district, there is a dilapidated manor.
Luo Xia was a little rusty and knocked on the side door of the manor a few times, then took a light breath, and took advantage of the faint opening of the iron door to flash in.
MI3, as it is commonly known, is the Empire's newly created intelligence unit in southern Xinjiang.
The MI was an intelligence service directly under the Empire, and it was originally a whole.
But in fact, in southern Xinjiang, the name of the governor is actually the grand duke of southern Xinjiang, and even the prestige of the king of southern Xinjiang is unmatched, and he has been operating and expanding his territory for decades.
The exploits and power of the governor of southern Xinjiang have reached their peak, and the empire has been peaceful for a long time, and the local government has no record in foreign disputes.
As a result, many vassals and remote lords are in a state of performing their duties, especially in southern Xinjiang, and in recent years, even the imperial capital's decree information has fallen into a state of blockage.
Therefore, whether the so-called intelligence services are loyal to the empire or to southern Xinjiang is not even clear to their own people. It's just because the governor of southern Xinjiang is still loyal to the imperial capital on the surface, so the military intelligence department has always been in a situation where it is not embarrassing or embarrassing.
It was even split into three.
But in Luo Xia's opinion, the Governor may want to start making a move, and he may be one of the 'pawns' that the Governor considers trustworthy.
Even though it sounds.
Luo Xia was not from a regular military background, but in the Battle of the Wastestone Path, anyone with brains could see that the Angry Hammer Legion was abandoned. Fighting to the death in unfavorable terrain, and the fierce battle as the commander of the corps took away the elite of the army to watch from behind.
Well, those loyal to the governor were also drawn away in advance, but no one dared to say it.
Although he later died in the frenzy, the anger and hatred of the betrayal seemed to make those who were transferred away before being kicked and transferred, and the survivors were considered 'trustworthy' by the Governor.
This logic is a bit strange, but it makes a lot of sense to outsiders who don't know the truth.
After defining Berserk as a 'traitor', and then vigorously pacifying and compensating the elite forces that remained.
The Governor's kind and touching actions quickly convinced the survivors of their loyalty, and they were placed in their new positions.
Including Luo Xia, who was only born as a coolie, because of his good performance and miraculously surviving the frontal battlefield, he was also considered a gifted and talented talent, and was kindly cared for by the governor.
Although, it was only the governor's butler who came to condole, an old man who could speak very well.
Therefore, Luo Xia became a recruit of MI3.
In fact, he had no choice at all. He is infinitely weaker, and although it is an 'invitation', it is actually no different from accepting orders?
Dare to refuse the kindness of the Duke? Then don't blame the ruler for using you to establish prestige, this is the correct way to understand power.
In addition, as a 'homeless man' with nothing, he knows almost nothing about the world and has no place to belong. If you don't take refuge under the biggest force in southern Xinjiang, you will receive a little bounty and continue to be a homeless man.
If you don't have an identity certificate, you don't have connections, and you can't cultivate and grow, the future is unpredictable when you think about it.
Luo Xia comes from the information age, and naturally knows that information is the most important thing. Therefore, compared to other professions such as becoming a legionnaire, he felt that being able to blend in with the MI was a godsend.
The MI division is divided into three parallel divisions, which are very rudely one, two, and three;
One is mainly composed of forces with imperial backgrounds, and the other is naturally composed of people from the local forces in southern Xinjiang.
The third department is a newly established department, except for some backbones drawn from the second department, which is basically composed of part of the team retained by the governor with the Angry Hammer Legion, and newcomers who are mobilized from nowhere.
Obviously, there was something that stimulated the Governor to make him dissatisfied with the MIA.
Luo Xia belongs to the third group of three preparatory agents, who will be trained in this remote manor for a month to several months, and then wait for orders to be assigned.
Compared with the first group, which focuses on direct work such as assassination and bribery, the second group focuses on long-term covert work such as undercover and undercover, and the third group is mainly responsible for temporary dispatch and intelligence collection for short-term tasks, and pays more attention to comprehensive quality.
Of course, this was also won by Luo Xia himself, and at that time, he did not use the very different arguments on the earth to fool the old man who claimed to be the governor's butler.
Otherwise, if you enter a group or two groups, whether you want to be a killer or to lurk, it seems to be a very sad thing. The third group is more like the secret police department in the film and television in the previous life, and it is still a bit of 'human rights and freedom'.
Luo Xia finally came to the underground base hall in a corner of the manor.
The underground hall is about 10 meters high and 3.40 meters wide and surrounded by a solid rock wall, on which a torch is hung at intervals.
Although it was not the first time to visit, Luo Xia still found it incredible, and it was a monolithic building.
There was a high platform in the center of the square, and in front of the high platform, there were already about fifty people standing at this time.
Seeing this, he quickly blended in silently, and similarly, the people around him just glanced at him lightly, and did not say anything, and some did not even look back.
'It's a formal organization, why is it so dark and depressing'.
Just when Luo Xia was silently complaining, a bald and hunched middle-aged man slowly walked to the central platform with two big men with fierce faces.
"I'm the leader of the third group, your leader, codenamed Iron Stubborn. I didn't call it this before, but once I was in order to fulfill the order of the Governor, and almost all of my body was broken, and people said I was going to die. But I survived, and the Governor praised me for being as strong as steel. Hey, hey, hey..."
It's obviously complained about and insulted. 'Luo Xia, who is full of energy, can't bear it.
The middle-aged man slowly raised his head, and only then did everyone notice that his face and body were covered with dense scars and pockmarks, and his whole face was like dead old bark, looking hideous and disgusting. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, for fear that the person they met would be a perverted leader.
"I say this not to show off anything, but to tell you that it doesn't matter who you are here, and it doesn't matter who you used to be. Because the code name is everything to you, and the mission is the meaning of your existence. ”
And then... A lot of it, a lot, in Luo Xia's stunned, this leader who obviously looks like a villain and has a perverted temperament has turned into a chatterbox.
Ten minutes, half an hour, an hour, two hours, and so on...
This? Is it also considered that people are not disfigured?
Of course, it could also be the brainwashing of this world.
But for Luo Xia in the era of the information explosion, he immediately understood that this way of constantly consuming the individual's self-existence, and then integrating the value of the object of allegiance with his own spiritual pursuit, is the means of hypnotizing his subordinates in the legend of ancient people.
However, MLM organizations also know how to lure them into profit, like this kind of preaching that almost only has obligations and does not see much benefit, Luo Xia said, believe you ghost.
It's just that some people around me gradually became short of breath and energetic in the more and more high-pitched and powerful preaching of the pock-faced leader, as if they had found the direction and ideal demeanor of life, what the hell!?
Is it really so easy to fool the barbarian natives? Then he thought of Sunset and his companions, of the ancients in the history books who were fooled by a random 'miracle' or trick.
The corners of his mouth began to twitch violently: he instantly understood that he was the one who was acting abnormally.
As the sharp eyes of the stubborn leader continued to stare at him, Luo Xia, who had a strong desire to survive, once again played his upper body:
His lips began to tremble, his hands pinched his thighs and twisted them desperately, his eyes began to moisten with excitement, and his black and white eyes were full of green passion, showing a solemn look full of adoration and gratitude to the leader.
But in my heart I was crying frantically: 'It's disgusting, I bear it!' ’
The leader of the stubborn stone watched another problem person being influenced, and took advantage of the interval to take a breath, and returned a sincere smile, even the scars on his face seemed to be waving.
Luo Xia immediately trembled excitedly as if she was lucky to be an idol, and complained frantically as if she was convulsing: 'I'm when! Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and these feudal bureaucrats only want eagle dogs instead of civil servants. ’
Just as everyone was starting to get groggy, the chatterbox leader finally paused his mission, and left some of the members who seemed to have 'backbone' potential to talk to each other.
Maybe because of too much performance, or maybe Luo Xia's file has other additions, he was also named and left in a confused face, and he was strengthened again!
Tearful eyes, I already knew that I would close it.
