Chapter 692: Exploring Midtown at Night

Robin sat down on the stool with a big grin, leisurely cocked Erlang's legs, and looked at Wang Xiaoya with a smile.

Wang Xiaoya had just seen today's news in Zhongcheng before, and immediately recognized the guy in front of her as the "second goods" in the news. "Where the hell are you from? How did you make a living in the last few years? ”

"I'm from Shencheng, and I've been living with the Dreadnought team in the past."

Wang Xiaoya had a very good memory, and she immediately recalled a list of Dreadnought team members she had browsed before, and sure enough, there was a name named Robin. "Since you are in the Dreadnought team, you should know the names of the two huskies raised by Wang Ziqiang, right?"

"You're wrong, Wang Ziqiang's two dogs are not huskies, but golden retrievers."

Wang Xiaoya remained silent, and continued: "Is the relationship between Gao Dawei and Yu Meiling public?" ”

"You're wrong again. Gao Dawei and Qin Huanchang are a couple, and they have nothing to do with Yu Meiling. ”

"Really? So did Wu Chaoqun and his ex-girlfriend Zhao Feiyan get back together? ”

"You've made the wrong mandarin duck score again." Robin sighed, "Wu Chaoqun has only one ex-girlfriend so far, Liu Xiaoxiao, who died heroically not long ago to rescue the residents of Fangcheng. ”

"Liu Xiaoxiao sacrificed?" Wang Xiaoya was quite shocked, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Does Captain Lin Zaishan have any new moves recently?" ”

"Yes, he was busy settling the survivors of Shencheng and contacting Zhongcheng."

"You're lying!" Wang Xiaoya's face instantly became serious, "Captain Lin has suffered misfortune a long time ago. You're hinting that you've seen him recently, and that's nonsense! She pressed the warning button, and a dozen or so mechfighters who had previously pointed their weapons at Robin's head rushed in again.

"Director Wang, what's wrong? Is this guy dishonest? ”

"I suspect he's a spy. You immediately take him into custody and ask Minister Chu to come over and interrogate him severely. ”

Robin smiled: "Lin Zaishan has indeed been missing for a while, but he has recently returned from the United States safe and sound, and more than 20,000 people up and down Shencheng have seen him with their own eyes. Is your message really so closed? ”

Wang Xiaoya and the mecha personnel were shocked when they heard this, and the former asked excitedly, "Are you serious?" What conclusive evidence do you have? ”

"Evidence...... Of course; But I can't show it to you. You'd better get Anne Ho over. ”

"Miss He has been in seclusion for many days, not asking about the world, and there are no major events, who dares to alarm her?"

"She's really in seclusion?" Robin asked with concern, "Is it sick?" ”

Wang Xiaoya didn't answer, and asked Robin for evidence of Lin Zaishan's reappearance.

Robin pulled out a cell phone from his arms and showed a video of Lin Zaishan speaking to everyone on a super battleship.

Wang Xiaoya snatched the phone from her hand and watched it repeatedly, looking shocked and uncertain. In the current conditions, it is simply too easy to fake a video. You must know that Lin Zaishan was a hot hero before his disappearance, and there are not a few people who imitate him and look similar to him; Many people have the ability to shapeshift, allowing them to transform into others at will; Others have abilities that can even manipulate electronic data.

Judging the authenticity of the video was beyond Wang Xiaoya's ability, she immediately dialed the phone number of Chu Yanjiao's office, she is now the head of the Zhongcheng Public Security Department.

Wang Xiaoya gave a brief introduction to the situation, and Chu Yanjiao decisively ordered: "You hand over your mobile phone and video, and ask the technical department for identification." As for that Robin, he will be put on a tracking collar first, and he will be treated as an ordinary entrant, and then another arrangement will be made after his identity is verified. ”

"Roger." Wang Xiaoya dismissed the mecha personnel and placed Robin in a small room with monitoring equipment, to be "isolated and observed" until the next morning.

Robin looked down at the tracking collar that was his neck, and smiled, "Look at the hardware, it should be Xu Yuxin's work." Look at the software, it's dynamic spell locking, and the technical content is not low, but it's hard for me. ”

He sat quietly in his closely monitored confinement cell, his eyes closed.

Separated by two sturdy iron bars was another containment chamber, which housed a middle-aged man with a fierce face and a sturdy build. The middle-aged man, who also wore a tracking collar around his neck, looked restless and restless, occasionally peering out through the crack in the door and occasionally glaring at Robin warily.

After a few moments, Robin opened his eyes, stood up, and stretched happily.

"Stinky boy, what are you looking at? Beware of Lao Tzu killing you! The big man swung his right fist at Robin.

"I've seen too many wicked and ruthless people. In this day and age, waving your fists to threaten others is too childish. Robin seems to know what to do.

"If you knew what Lao Tzu had, you wouldn't pretend to be calm there."

"What's your ability?"

"Lao Tzu's ability is used to kill people, and by the time you know it, you'll be a dead person."

"Then I don't want to be curious." Robin somehow felt a crystal fruit from there and nibbled on it with relish. The fragrance of the crystal fruit spread unhindered to the nose of the big man.

The big man suddenly turned kind, and begged, "Brother, can you give me a little crystal fruit?" Good things to share. ”

"Okay." Without the slightest hesitation, Robin took out another crystal fruit and threw it at the big man. The crystal fruit accurately passed through the two iron fences and fell into the hands of the big man.

The latter sniffed at the side of his nose, took a sharp breath, and gnawed greedily. After a few seconds, the big man sat down on the ground and fell asleep.

Robin whistled lightly, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the confinement chamber, and instantly flashed into a dark street corner somewhere within the city walls. "Hah, it's time to visit Midtown Street."

//////

At this time, it was 20 o'clock at night, and everyone at the inspection office had already left work, and there was no personnel outside the confinement room. The management of Midtown was highly confident in their technical means, and they had arranged a powerful energy field around the confinement room, and it was difficult for those below level six Star Soul to escape to the sky. If there is any movement of the detainees, the intelligent monitoring system will detect and activate the city's anti-riot mechanism as soon as possible. In just 30 seconds at most, more than 20 autonomous intelligent flight mechs will fall from the sky; In less than 5 minutes, 10 large mechs will surround the place.

Robin moved his muscles and suddenly cast an ability, which quickly flashed around Midtown. After 30 minutes, he returned to the starting point and thought to himself: "The infrastructure construction of Zhongcheng is dozens of times better than I expected, not to mention accommodating the survivors of Shencheng, it is not impossible to support a population of 1 million." In addition to the solid surface structure, reasonable spatial layout, and solid buildings, what is even more rare is that a large-scale industrial system has been formed and a high level of apocalyptic technology has been developed. It seems that I have the best base in Huaxia to fight against the Zerg. ”

If the whole midtown is bounded by a shelterbelt composed of intelligent plants, it covers an area of about 100 square kilometers; If it is bounded by the outer wall of Lin Zaishan Detention Center, the urban area is about 25 square kilometers. From the inside to the outside of the city center, there are three wide streets, known as the 1st Ring, the 2nd Ring Road, and the 3rd Ring Road. Within the first ring is the city hall and the mansions of the two giants He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun; Between the second ring and the first ring is where the urban elite and powerful people live together; Between the second and third rings is the distribution area of the propertied people; Outside the Third Ring Road is a place where the poor, the homeless, and the criminals mingle.

The Star Soul level of the citizens of Midtown is not high, and there are only a handful of sixth-level Star Soul powerhouses. Zhongcheng's ability to hold out for so long in the Central Plains of China, where the Zerg is most dense, is mainly not dependent on the individual combat power of the strong, but is related to Zhongcheng's efficient organizational system and relatively developed scientific and technological level.

The long-term accumulation of mecha technology in the unrestricted military industry has fully transformed into advantages in urban construction and defense. With the resources collected from several strategic warehouses before the end of the world, Midtown was able to rebuild and develop a heavy industry system with mecha as the core in just a few years after the end of the world, and made great achievements in laser technology, electromagnetic cannon technology, crystal technology, and energy field shield technology.

Thanks to the breakthrough in crystal energy technology, Zhongcheng developed the crystal energy engine early on, and completely got rid of the dependence on oil and internal combustion engines. Crystal-based engines are widely used in vehicles and mechas, becoming the key to productivity and combat power in post-apocalyptic conditions. The Midtown Energy Plant uses crystalline fuel for energy and converts a significant portion of it into electricity. In addition to maintaining the operation of the two major forces and the city, the electricity generated every day is enough for hundreds of thousands of people to squander and enjoy in their daily lives. In the dark night, instead of falling into a dead silence, the light of crystal energy lamps shone everywhere.

Zhongcheng Military Industry, which was formed on the basis of the original overrun military industry, has produced a large number of advanced mechas. Up to now, there are 3 Titan Mechas, 60 Demigod Mechas, 80 Improved Meat Grinder Mechas, 200 Improved Butcher Mechas, 40 Fully Automatic Intelligent Flight Mechas, 120 Security Officer Land Mechas, 45 Transformer Mechas, and 300 Multifunctional Medium and Large Industrial Mechas. Half of the mechs are deployed in various critical parts of the city area, and the remaining mechs have formed several resource collection teams and commandos to carry out the most important and dangerous tasks.

The two major forces in Midtown also controlled a number of private and small armed forces. The sum of the combat power of the entire Zhongcheng (if you don't take into account the influence of outstanding figures such as Lin Zaishan) is definitely dozens of times higher than Shencheng.

If He Xiaotian and the overrun military industry are good at and control the industrial and mecha forces in Zhongcheng, then Huo Qiankun controls the agriculture, forestry, biology and chemical technology in Zhongcheng - these industries and technologies are fundamentally different from those before the end of the world, take forestry as an example: the forestry department of the middle city in the last days is researching and planting intelligent plants, and these things will run around and eat people!

Zhongcheng has more than 5,000 acres of cultivated farmland and more than 12,000 acres of fruit fields, with a total monthly grain and fruit output of more than 2,000 tons; In addition, there are a few breeding farms that raise thousands of animals and provide a lot of meat and eggs every month. Of course, the food supply in the last days has its own characteristics: it does not need to be "filled" with large quantities of food, as it was before the end of the world; In fact, as long as the supply of high-energy food with very light weight is enough to feed a person, for example, a crystal fruit can be eaten by a strong person like Lin Zaishan for several days. The more savvy population has laid the ground, and food shortages are not a serious problem, at least in the short term.

The residents of Midtown can be roughly divided into three groups: He Xiaotian's faction, Huo Qiankun's faction, and the third party. The main resources and power are in the hands of the two forces represented by He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun, and the two sides not only compete with each other, but also rely on each other and cooperate.
