Chapter 2: A Tale of the Flood (2)
"Elijah, we're going out."
"Hmmm! People have been ready for a long time. β
After a simple dinner, Feng Jie took Illya out to breathe, this is also the happiest time of the day for Illya, in that room, there is no entertainment, Illya can only pass the time by sleeping during the day, but she can't sleep all the time, right?
Illya has been able to persist until now, and there have been no psychological problems, to a large extent, Feng Jie will take Illya out every night after returning home.
At this time, Illya was ready to go out, her body was covered with patches, dirty and unrecognizable thick robes, as if a huge rag had been worn on her body, and her hair was also tucked into a huge hat, which even covered half of her face.
The rest of her face was also smeared with a pile of black mud, and her original skin color was almost invisible, and in addition, there was a bunch of red tumors stuck to her face and palms...... It was made of flour and paint by Feng Jie, and with the addition of these disguises, Illyaguang looked like a slum kid with a severe disease......
This kind of child is not uncommon in the slums, and many white-skinned and dark-skinned paupers, in order to have a full meal, have to go to those artificially created high-radiation areas to work, to grow some crops that can only grow in high-radiation areas, these crops usually have some special functions, either for the cultivation of cultivators, or for unimaginable deliciousness, or for special scientific research value......
In short, for the sake of these damn crops, countless white-skinned and dark-skinned civilians...... There are also some yellow-skinned civilians who have been infected with all kinds of terrible radiation diseases in artificially created high-radiation areas, and even their families and descendants have been infected with various kinds of terrifying diseases to varying degrees.
When he went out, Feng Jie locked the door, which was the only valuable piece of furniture in Feng Jie's house, which was worth more than his rent.
This is a door that Feng Jie spent more than 500 credits to find in the second-hand market, a door equipped with genetic determination, and remote alarms, while also defending against a certain degree of physical and energy attacks...... The installation of this door in this place is actually a bit conspicuous, but Feng Jie has no choice, although the probability of being burglarized in the slum is extremely low...... No thief would choose to steal in the ghetto.
However, this does not mean that there will not be some idle and bored aristocratic teenagers, or those "racists" who are extremely disgusted with different races, or even disgusted with people of other colors, will come here to "have fun".
People living in the slums have a very cheap life, and no one will take care of them when they die, and the corpses will be put into the trash cans by the cleaners who clean up the garbage, and then recycled into food to feed the alien slaves......
In this case, if Feng Jie didn't want to go home that day and see his door broken, and then see Illya being killed by a group of "children" with naΓ―ve cruelty. Feng Jie can only choose to install such a good door in his home, those idle and bored aristocratic teenagers and racists usually don't waste their strength to attack this kind of door that looks very sturdy at first glance...... In particular, there is a risk of misunderstanding: if this is the warehouse of some underground force, then they are in trouble.
There will be no shortage of underground forces no matter where they are, and the housing prices in Taihao City are not cheap, so many underground forces will choose to get a house in the slums to store goods.
Walking down the street, there was darkness all around, only the sporadic fires and lights, which shone a little brightly......
It's not because it's night, it's actually like this even during the day.
Because, this is the underground street of Taihao City...... It is located under Taihao City, which is hundreds of meters deep. This was originally a place to house those alien slaves, but later, a large number of poor human beings poured in to settle here, and gradually evolved into a slum area...... It's a place where alien slaves live, and it doesn't cost anyone anything to live there, provided you're not afraid of death.
The lights and lights around were either poor people sleeping on the streets who couldn't even afford to live in their houses, or some small traders who mingled with these poor people, selling a mess of small goods that they didn't know where they came from.
The stalls set up by these small vendors are also Illya's favorite place to visit, because there are always a lot of strange and interesting small goods on these stalls, and sometimes Feng Jie will buy one or two things for her to take home.
"Huh? What is the ...... Shimu? Illya deliberately pretended to be inarticulate, which was also a kind of protection for herself.
In addition to what Elijah was holding in her hand was a black and unflinching, like an iron ball, and on top of that, there was a bag of grain of unknown kind, a skull of unknown race, a tattered pistol, and more trash that couldn't be seen to be anything.
And the owner of the stall, a yellow-skinned middle-aged man with a beard, wearing the latest automatic temperature control and chemical protection suit, and holding a feather fan in his hand, said to Iliya with a smile: "This young lady has a really good eye, let me tell you, I don't dare to show others, this ......."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man with the mustache deliberately lowered his voice a little and said, "...... This is the Flood Desolation Open Heaven grenade refined by the cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Sect, which is to kill the gods and kill the Buddhas when they meet the gods...... It doesn't matter what giants, dragons, phoenixes, eight-armed King Kongs, King tentacles, and mechanical demon pigs you encounter...... As long as you throw this Flood Desolation Open Heaven grenade like this, it is guaranteed to blow the other party into ashes, last month, the cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Sect went to exterminate a remnant of the Titan Giant Tribe, and only three disciples went to throw three Flood Desolation Open Heaven grenades towards that Titan Giant tribe together, guess what? Regardless of men, women, and children in that tribe, all the hundreds of Titans were blown up and disappeared......"
Iliya listened with relish, her eyes lit up, but Feng Jie was speechless...... This boss is also really bragging, okay...... boasted that there was nothing wrong with his goods, but there were too many slots in these words, Feng Jie was not a fool who didn't understand anything. I won't mention the name of the Honghuang Open Heaven Grenade, which is full of slots, if it is really the Heavenly Dao Sect of the Xiuzhen Sect, which is very famous in Taihao City, how could there be something left outside, and it just happened to fall into the hands of this profiteer?
The words of this profiteer are nothing more than an IQ filter...... If any fool really believed his nonsense, this profiteer would surely drain the last penny from the other party's pocket.
In the end, after the profiteer finished telling his nonsense, he said: "I see that everyone is so fateful, why don't I sell it to you for a hundred credits, what do you think?" β
After speaking, this profiteer still had a painful expression on his face, and Feng Jie had to admire his superb acting skills.
"I'm calling for ......," Illya shook her head and put it back, but the profiteer was not discouraged, and went on to sell Illya something else.
"It doesn't matter if you don't, I have a lot of other good things here, such as the skull of this little dragon man, it can be used to make tea, but it can nourish yin and yang, activate blood and dispel stasis......"
While Elijah listened with relish to the profiteer's bragging, there was a noise in the distant street......
"Stop!"
"Don't let her run!"
"Damn alien!"
"Damn, I'm going to peel her skin!"
Feng Jie's sharp eyes saw a figure rushing towards this side from a distance, that figure looked extremely slender, although the speed was fast, but it was a little frivolous, and it seemed to be a little exhausted.
Feng Jie was worried that there would be trouble, so he took Illya's hand and said, "Illya, let's go to another place." β
"Hmm......" Illya nodded, stood up and shrank beside Feng Jie, and prepared to leave here.
However, Feng Jie wanted to avoid trouble, but the trouble seemed to be about to hit them in this direction.
After causing a commotion all the way, the slender figure actually rushed straight towards Feng Jie's side.
Feng Jie frowned, picked up Iliya, moved slightly under his feet, and the whole person suddenly disappeared in place with a wonderful figure.
Behind that figure was a group of big men wearing power armor, and the power armor on their bodies was obviously not a city defense army...... That is, the power armor of the chengguan, which has obvious traces of transformation on it, which is obviously contraband after private modification. The people who have these contraband are generally underground gangsters and other forces, and it is obviously not a good thing for ordinary people to be involved.
The figure being chased by the gang was like Illya, with a dirty rag-like robe draped over her body.
I don't know if it's because of this, this figure turned his head to look at Feng Jie unexpectedly when he saw Feng Jie leaving with Iliya in his arms.
Feng Jie also caught a glimpse of the other party's face out of the corner of his eye...... It was a very beautiful face, with a strong gaze in the soft female face, and the skin was whiter than snow, not the sickly white, but the kind of healthy complexion that was white and red, if it weren't for the appearance of the yellow-skinned race, Feng Jie might still think that the other party was a white-skinned woman.
"Damn, got you, you fucking bitch!"
A big man was already approaching, and the power armor they were wearing was not a decoration, and the speed was still very fast.
However, just as he was about to catch this woman, three dark blue fireballs the size of goose eggs suddenly appeared behind this woman!
"Ahh Cultivator?! β
There were some uninformed people on both sides of the street, and they immediately screamed loudly in fright, but after all, such fools were very few, and some people immediately reacted......
"Are you stupid?! What kind of cultivator is that woman, she is of a different race! β
The robe on the woman's body was lifted, revealing a mature and plump snow-white jade body inside, and on this unhung body, there were some fiery red hairs growing to cover the key parts, but this kind of concealment would only make people think more about it, and behind her, a fiery red tail waved, and the three blue fireballs the size of goose eggs were inspired by this tail.
The three dark blue fireballs the size of goose eggs instantly hit the big man wearing power armor, it stands to reason that the kind of power armor that can seem to be extremely strong physical attacks and energy attacks is impossible to hurt the user, but the big man suddenly let out a miserable scream, and the whole person fell to the ground and rolled wildly.
Feng Jie glanced at the fox girl, because this inappropriate scene for children made Feng Jie cover Illya's eyes, but he was silently analyzing in his heart......
"Red tail...... A branch of the fox clan, the fire fox clan? The talent that this clan is good at is the fox fire that can arouse the deepest fears in people's hearts, with her appearance, even on the ground, it should be the top brand of a small prostitution parlor, or it is the private pet of some powerful people...... It's just that why can she use her racial ability in Taihao? Shouldn't she have a demon seal tattooed on her body? β
This question was answered the moment the fox girl turned around...... I saw that after this fox girl knocked down the chasing man, she didn't dare to stay for a moment, turned around and fled, and the moment she turned around, her back was exposed...... I saw that the back that should have been snow-white was blurred with flesh and blood, as if someone had cut off a large piece of skin!
And so it was...... It was tattooed on her back, so the skin on her back was cut off in order to escape. It seems that she still has accomplices, maybe she has been caught, it seems that this is an escape operation that has been organized for a long time, otherwise she would not have been able to escape here, if she is allowed to escape into the living area of alien slaves, maybe there will be a chance of survival, but unfortunately......"
Feng Jie's heart was cold, and he analyzed all this with a calm mind that even he didn't understand, and he didn't know where to exercise.
"Loose the rope, you idiots!"
In that group of big Han people wearing power armor, someone shouted so loudly.
Suddenly, those big men reacted and raised the guns in their hands...... The gun said it was a gun, but it was more like a small steel cannon, shooting at the fox girl, who didn't seem to care at all about injuring someone by mistake.
And after hearing the other party's shout, the fox girl's face also changed, and she frantically rushed into the crowd and grabbed a person...... It wasn't that he was taken hostage, but that he pushed this person out with his backhand.
At this moment, a cannonball shot out of the barrel of the gun and hit the man's body, which immediately turned into a huge net and wound the man into a rice dumpling.
