Chapter 1: Sombra

Next Chapter

Taurus, early summer.

Above the wasteland, there is a city of steel like a desolate beast, and the sound of various machinery in it can be heard in the distance.

In the southeast corner, a huge waste area.

Countless household garbage, reinforced concrete, and messy piles are piled up, filling the air with the smell of rust and concrete.

Every other month, the garbage dump in the "Floating City" descends here, leaving countless amounts of household waste and countless steel scrap.

For the rich, it's filthy, a place for filthy rats. But for the poor, this is a paradise for Taobao.

Today is the day of the arrival of the "Floating City" garbage station.

Early in the morning, a lot of dirty, tattered figures carefully hid in it, facing the rising sun, and kept looking at the sky.

They did not dare to show their faces, so they could only wait patiently.

Because this is a place outside the law, in order to survive, human life is like a mustard......

Until the sun rose, ten 100-meter-tall steel discs floated out of the "Floating City" at an altitude of 10,000 meters and stopped randomly above the scrap land.

Immediately afterward, a hole spiraled in the center of the steel disc.

In the uproar, countless "garbage" were scattered.

Waste paper flutters, iron argues.

The ground shook slightly, and it lasted for dozens of minutes before stopping.

The steel discs seem to have done their job and begin to lift off into the air, returning to the Floating City.

"Rush!"

After a short silence, around the ten different locations, figures rushed out one after another, those who were close were ecstatic, and those who were far away were gritting their teeth and running.

All of them are red-eyed, searching for useful things, and once someone picks up something good, some people will flock to it and loot it.

Roars, screams, one after another.

I saw a young man in cloth about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a messy hair, dark skin, and shining eyes, because he was close, he was the first to rush to the place where a steel disc had fallen from the scrap, and was immediately attracted by a crystal that emitted a black light.

The young man looked happy, came to the crystal block, quickly stuffed the crystal block into his arms, did not dare to stop at all, turned around and left.

"Brooke, stop me!"

With a loud shout, the young man's face changed, and when he looked forward, he saw three young men who were also dressed in dirty clothes blocking his way.

"It looks like you picked up something good and handed it over, otherwise my brothers don't mind making you suffer a little!" The young man at the head hugged his arms and sneered, and the scar on the left side of his face was touched by the smile, looking quite hideous.

The two people behind him also smiled maliciously, and they were gearing up one by one.

The young man calmed down after a brief panic, stared at the scarred youth, and shouted with anger on his face: "Mondy, what do you want to do, have you forgotten what my brother said?" ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the three people who blocked it sank, as if they were afraid of the young man's brother.

After the scar youth's expression changed for a while, he suddenly smiled slightly: "Brooke, I know that your brother is sick, weak, and very short of money. But as long as you give me what you pick up, I promise, no matter what you pick up later, I don't want it, and I will protect you, how about it? ”

"No way!"

"I warn you, it's best to get out of the way, let my brother know that you robbed me of something, and you have good fruit to eat!"

The young man looked vicious and refused to give an inch, but in fact he was very scared in his heart, the three young men in front of him were not easy to mess with, the famous gangsters on Ninth Street, and they were the subordinates of Tailong, the head snake of Ninth Street, a waste land.

"Hmph, toast without eating and drinking, give it to me, I want to see what treasure he picked up!"

The young man with scar couldn't help but be angry, and with a wave of his hand, the two people behind him quickly rushed out.

The boy panicked, turned and ran.

But one accidentally kicked an iron plate, fell to the ground, and the thing in his arms rolled off in response.

Several eyes turned to the object, which was a thumb-sized black diamond-shaped crystal, neat and neat, refracting brilliant light in the bright sun, which was extremely dazzling.

"Sombra!"

The scarred youth's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but exclaim, a flash of madness flashed in his eyes.

The young man was startled and quickly picked up the black crystal block, but as soon as he got up, he saw the two young men grabbing him in a frenzy.

The young man's eyes suddenly turned red, he ran out secretly today, and he finally picked up a baby, if he was snatched away, what should he do with his brother's illness, and will he have to wait for a month.

"Wow!"

Just when the boy was in despair, a dog barked.

Five or six stray dogs sprang out of the steel waste not far away, and pounced on the two of them with great ferocity.

The two young men were startled, subconsciously stopped their movements, and stepped back, dodging the attack of the stray dogs.

The stray dog didn't chase after him, but stood in front of the boy, grinning with his teeth open, his throat swollen and letting out a low growl, making a defensive gesture.

"Toast without eating and drinking? Who do you say? ”

A young man in Tsing Yi about twenty years old walked from not far away, and when he saw this person, the expressions of the three young men with scars changed.

"Lin Fan!"

"Brother!"

The young man looked surprised, but his face showed worry: "Brother, why are you here, didn't you say to rest at home?" ”

Lin Fan glared at Brooke, and said slightly angrily: "Can you leave if I don't come?" Don't let you come out, you just want to come out. ”

Then he looked at the young man with the scar, and his face turned cold: "Acquaintances, hurry up!" ”

"Lin Fan, you ......"

The young man with the scar had an ugly expression, stared at the black crystal block in the hand of the young Brooke, gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Fan, you don't want to be rampant!" Do you know what it is? ”

"What the hell is going on with you?"

Lin Fan glanced at the black crystal, looked down at the six stray dogs in front of him, and said with a smile: "These little cuties of mine haven't eaten meat for a long time, don't you want them to open the meat?" ”

The stray dog immediately roared in unison.

"Okay, you are ruthless, but this black crystal is not a person like you or I can take it, I will tell Brother Tyrone about this matter, and I will see that you still dare to be hard-mouthed!"

"So what? Can you roll? ”

Lin Fan's eyelids rolled, and his gaze was cold.

"You wait!" The young man with scar roared, turned around in hatred, and left with the two of them.

"Brother...... Am I in trouble? ”

It wasn't until the three of them left that Young Brooke looked up at Lin Fan with a frightened expression.

Tyrone, the famous snake on Ninth Street in the Land of Waste, has hundreds of younger brothers, and in addition to collecting protection money, he has also heard that he has specially searched for useful things in the Land of Waste for a certain big man in the city.

It is even rumored that Tyrone's body has been modified, and he is a cyborg, which is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"Trouble?"

Lin Fan looked at the black crystal block in Brooke's hand, squinted his eyes and chuckled: "Let's go, go home first." ”

……

Scrap Street.

It is mostly inhabited by the homeless poor, with a total of nine blocks surrounding the entire waste land.

There is no governance.

Dilapidated, chaotic, is synonymous here.

There are often people who starve to death, and there are often people who fight and kill each other for food, for something or for the right to belong to a woman.

There is no one who can survive here who is not a murderer.

Cowards don't even have the qualifications to live!

"It's been seven days."

Lin Fan stood at the window, watching the people coming and going on the dusky street outside, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a plump woman at the mouth of the opposite corner of the alley, as if he noticed his gaze, and the woman immediately threw a wink at him, and her fragrant tongue teased her red lips.

Not far away, a few yellow-haired thugs were punching and kicking an old man who was setting up a stall, rampant and domineering.

Everything looks so real.

The only thing that is not true is Lin Fan himself.

Lin Fan has a secret, a secret that does not belong to this world.

He was originally just an ordinary college student, and after fighting all night in the Summoner's Canyon with his dorm mates against the computer, he knelt twelve in a row, dragged his tired body and collapsed mood to sleep, and woke up to find himself lying on the bed in this simple wooden house.

At the same time, I saw a young man walking in with a bowl of freshly cooked decoction, helping him up, and carefully feeding him the decoction.

Lin Fan's mind was blank at that time.

Thinking that he was dreaming, after drinking the medicine, he fell asleep again with a groggy head.

But wake up, it's still here, nothing has changed.

The only thing that has changed is that a few yellow hairs who collect protection money are punching and kicking Brooke as if they were doing to the old man outside.

Lin Fan's mentality was a little broken, although he didn't know who the young man was, but he vaguely remembered that the other party had fed him medicine and called him "brother".

Lin Fan dragged his weak body and rushed out, and as soon as he rushed out, for some reason, countless stray dogs rushed out of the streets and alleys, and they bit at those yellow hairs with great ferocity.

Soon, several yellow hairs were wounded and fled in terror.

Seven days have passed since then.

Properties Panel. Lin Fan silently thought, and a row of vague data appeared in his eyes.

Name: Fan Lin

Race: Human/?

Constitution: 4

Cosmic energy: 2

Reputation: 143 (Nobody)

Totems: dog, cat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig;

World Spirit: 100/100000 (asleep, dying)

Lin Fan's gaze paused at the last note, and he sighed and rubbed his temples, trying to make his thoughts clearer.

In the past seven days, he has understood everything he should know, and he can basically determine three things.

First: I have crossed by myself, and I can summon these data at any time in front of me.

Second: this is a modern technological world, and it is also super technological, real and brutal.

Third: The Spirit of the World is dying!

The first point does not need to be said, and it is impossible to delve into it.

The second point, after understanding it, Lin Fan learned that in addition to ordinary people, there are also mechanical transformers and powerful fighters in this world.

A mechanically modified person is when some parts of an ordinary person's body are replaced by machinery.

Fighters are human beings who have cultivated "cosmic energy".

There are 12 huge steel cities around, the population of the city has exceeded 10 million, and there is a "floating city" inhabited by "superior people" above 10,000 meters above each city.

As for the third point...... The only thing Lin Fan thought of was that once that [World Spirit] died, this world might collapse!

If that's the case, you're in big trouble!

The spirit of the world is on the verge of death!

And the city he is in now is called the Golden Bull City.

The rich and the poor who live in this city are all inferior.

As for the Floating City, it is rumored that it is a paradise on earth, whether it is the environment, facilities, food and clothing, everything is ten thousand times better than the Taurus City, and it is the place that every inferior person yearns for.

The goal of the vast majority of inferior people is not only to live, but also to earn enough money to live in the floating city.

At the beginning of each month, ten garbage stations are lowered in the floating city, scattering items that are not needed by the upper class, and most of the people in the nine blocks of the waste land rely on scavenging in the waste fields in exchange for money and food.

For some reason, Lin Fan's body was very weak and he needed to drink nutritional decoction every day to maintain it.

Brooke is his younger brother, but not related by blood.

According to Brooke, he almost starved to death six years ago, but fortunately met him, and he kindly took Brooke in, and the two have been together ever since.

"Taurus, Floating City, Zodiac, why not a rat but a cat? Spirit of the World...... What happens when you die? It's not going to be for me to save the world, is it? Hey, I'm just a little person, how can I be a hero to save the world! Also, the spirit of the world should be the "soul" of this world, right? How did it come to this? Because of that legendary war? ”

Lin Fan had all kinds of doubts, except for the spirit of the world, the [dog] in the "totem" was lit up, pale gold, and the others were gray and white.

Lin Fan found that his sense of smell and hearing had become extremely sensitive, and he could even sense stray dogs within a radius of one kilometer and manipulate them!

Even if those stray dogs are all hiding during the day and dare not show their faces, they can be summoned at any time as long as he wants.

In the past few days, anyone who dared to provoke him has not eaten good fruits, and he has also made some prestige in the ninth district, at least those jokers who collect protection money do not dare to provoke easily.

"Brother, it's time to eat."

At this time, a voice broke Lin Fan's thoughts.

Lin Fan retracted his gaze and ignored the scene outside, this kind of thing happened all the time, and it was already very difficult for him to ensure that he and Brooke lived in peace now, and he had no ability to care about anything else.

"Brother, is this really the legendary Sombra? The kind of treasure that can make people cultivate cosmic energy and become fighters? ”

As soon as Lin Fan sat down, Brooke on the opposite side was already full of excitement and took out the thumb-sized black crystal block and put it on the table, with a look of hope in his eyes: "It should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?" ”

"100,000 gold starts." Lin Fan casually picked up the black crystal block and looked at it, and the moment he got it, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.

"Bang!"

He didn't have time to think.

The door of the house was suddenly kicked open, accompanied by a loud laugh.

"Lin Fan, I heard from Mundy, your brother picked up Black Crystal in the scrap field? Haha, your brother is really lucky, it looks like you two brothers can live a good life in the future! ”
