Chapter 144: Steel

"I won't be back in the evening, there's something going on."

"Isn't it, classmate Lu, you actually want to spend the night outside?"

"And Wei Bo'an."

"It's with a man."

“……”

Xia Chuluo is not very serious at times.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Wen saw Wei Bo'an's disdainful eyes.

"If you don't go home at night, you have to report?"

"Lest she worry."

The two returned to the car.

Wei Boan posted the situation of the relevant case on the public channel, and everyone in the tenth district was stunned.

"Freesia Village? Are you sure? Don't run in vain when the time comes, I'm really tired enough these days, and I'm choked by that Lu Wen. ”

"Now that the case has been reported, it must be true."

The crowd quickly began to chat.

Wei Boan also posted a message in the channel.

"If you're okay at night, if you feel energetic, you can come and have a look."

By the way, he passed on all the information to Lu Wen.

"The informant was a local villager, who said that he saw blood flowing out of the door, and the villager was more courageous, walked up and knocked on the door, but there was no response after a long time, so he kicked the door open."

"It's not long since we died, and it will take us two hours to get from here."

Lu Wen calculated the time in his heart.

"The scene wasn't destroyed by those villagers, was it?"

"It's hard to say, I contacted the informant and asked them to maintain the scene as much as possible, but I heard from the person that they had already carried the body to the entrance of the village."

That's more troublesome.

There will definitely be a lot of traces, fingerprints, footprints, and even spittle left at the scene.

It is uncertain whether any of them were left behind by the murderer.

There have been many similar cases in the 13th arrondissement, where a passerby spat at the scene of the crime and was taken away for interrogation a week later.

……

Meanwhile.

After a long four-day trek.

The body in No Man's Land had finally managed to reach the outskirts of Baker City.

The car was in shambles.

During this period, I changed tires twice, traveled through countless extreme weather zones, and was almost hit by lightning.

The windshield persevered very tenaciously, and the appearance was shattered into slag, but it still did not fall, and it deserved to be bulletproof.

I've also encountered some small android organizations these days.

I have communicated with some of them, from Baker City and from Mou.

A very small number of them were hostile, and they were all sent on the road by Lu Wen with heavy machine guns.

"It's finally here."

Lu Wen found a motel outside the city and booked it for a week with a fake ID card.

He looked into the distance.

The massive steel monster crouched on the ground, dark red lights floating on the city's surface.

On the outskirts of the city are countless abandoned steel factories, an industrially developed place that was once the most prosperous city of the post-war period and has now been reduced to the bottom of the Nine Cities.

Walking on a desolate road.

Rusty giant pipes, twisted metal columns, scarlet steel beams can be seen everywhere.

The same clouds.

It's just that there is a strong red in the gray.

"Welcome to Baker City."

This is the prompt for the entrance to the city.

Rusty street signs are crooked, and spiders are webting on them.

"As a result of the expansion, Baker City is more than twice the size of Mou, but now has less than half the population of Mou."

Lu Wen got these contents in the information.

He randomly found a bus stop.

After a long wait, the old-fashioned bus with a dilapidated appearance slowly drove along the edge of the street, with black exhaust fumes behind it, and people covering their mouths and noses.

The paint shell of the bus body fell off a lot, the rain corroded the metal inside, and the rust fell as the vehicle moved.

Lu Wen walked to the car and found a place to pull over.

The lights in the car were not bright, and they flickered from time to time, but the passengers around them were obviously used to it.

"It's more tattered than I thought."

Depressing, dim.

The road was very dark, with the storefronts on both sides of the street ajar closed, and the faint light was not enough to illuminate the surrounding streets.

Dark red strips of light clinging to pipes along the street.

People come and go.

Homeless people lit flames in the streets with discarded newspapers.

Countless dim fires flickered red in the dark corners of the city, and beside the fires were a pair of dead eyes.

"The city of Mou will not allow fires on the streets, and there are not so many wanderers."

Observe almost.

Lu Wen casually found a stop to get off the bus.

The shops on both sides of the street are very interesting.

Most of the signboards on the storefront are rusty irregular iron plates, and there are some miscellaneous lamps on the iron plates to piece together the name of the store, and the lights are very dim.

"Hand over the money you're on."

He didn't take a few steps after getting out of the car, and a cold object pressed against Lu Wen's waist.

And that's where things get interesting.

The android has a strong sense of hearing, so Lu Wen knows that someone is approaching behind him.

The system also gave a hint, but he didn't pay attention.

"The steps are not steady, a little hurried, frivolous, the tone of speech is unstable, the breath is sometimes gentle, sometimes rapid......" Lu Wen smiled, "The first time to do this kind of thing?" Or do you have a respiratory condition? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hand over the money!"

Listening to the voice is a young man, not very old.

"Interesting, I've encountered scaring people with fake guns before, and it didn't take long for me to come across it again."

"How do you know...... No, shut up if you don't want to die! ”

"The psychological quality is not good, I said that I leaked my mouth after a little fraud, it seems that I am indeed a newcomer, I haven't done it a few times, and I can save it."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you feel a chill in your neck?"

Speaker.

A mechanical spider crawled slowly up the young man's clothes to his neck.

The deformed spider legs are very sharp and sharp.

The cold machinery touches the skin on the neck.

"This ...... What is this, tell it to go away! ”

"It's just a little pet." Lu Wen smiled faintly, "Have you had dinner?" Why don't you find a place to eat and have a good chat? ”

"You...... You ......"

"If you don't agree, I'll let it stab in."

"Okay."

That's it.

A hijacking turned into a counter-hijacking.

The last thing Baker City lacks is steel parts, large and small.

So much so that the tables and benches in the restaurant are welded with scrap steel.

Black appearance, sitting on it is cold and cold.

"You're walking slowly, so I know you're not a local, and I want to get some money......"

"Do you have to hurry up at night?"

"It's generally like this, no one wants to stay too long at night in the city, except for the homeless."

"So you're one of those homeless people?"

The two sat facing each other.

The young man's name was Xu Eryi, and he looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Very thin and dark-skinned.

Yellowish hair, malnutrition.

Lu Wen also saw clearly that the so-called gun in his hand was actually just a worn-out steel pipe.

Xu Eryi looked at the menu of the restaurant and swallowed his saliva.

"Haven't eaten in a long time?" Lu Wen asked.

"Hmm."

Xu Er nodded.

His eyes stayed on the menu for a long time, and then he looked at Lu Wen, a little hesitant.

"Answer me a few questions and order whatever you want."

……

Good night, book friends!

I committed conjunctivitis, I went to the hospital and delayed a while, and I will make up for the update tomorrow.
