453. Outer City
Although many people think that this is probably just a coincidence, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get a real crime rate statistics table to compare, it seems to be the case from a physical point of view.
People have always believed that what they stand for is justice, but in many cases this may not be the case...... In the final analysis, the biggest reason why ordinary people will stand on the side of fairness and justice is that this can ensure their interests to the greatest extent, after all, if it is really in a world where strength is supreme, those who live at the bottom are often ordinary people who have no combat power to speak of.
Therefore, whether from a moral or interest point of view, the wave of ordinary people opposing Black Star City is a natural and reasonable thing...... But when they found that this evil would not spread to their side at all, but would reduce the "evil" around them, they would invariably fall silent and directly and selectively ignore this "capital of sin" that gathers almost all the evil in the world......
Anyway...... This burning fire of sin can't burn on himself.
Most ordinary people do think so.
But...... Is that really the case?
Yan Xiuze looked up at the occasional hovering car passing by in the sky, and thought silently in his heart.
After he and Francie Fronton docked at Blackstar Harbor, they did not leave directly, but let the two brothers be their guides, wanting to understand the many precautions of Blackstar City first.
The two brothers naturally did not refuse, and even had a little bit of a grudge against Yan Xiuze.
Of course, this is on the premise that they are already sure that Yan Xiuze is a superpower, so they will be so diligent, after all, Black Star City itself is a place where the strong are respected and the weak eat the strong, and it is a very comfortable thing to have a strong superpower as a backer.
After temporarily depositing this harvest in the port warehouse, the two brothers took Yan Xiuze to the outer city of Black Star City.
Whew-
Another long flaming tail swept by, and a hovering speeder swept over everyone's heads with a slight arrogance, but the Fran brothers seemed to have become accustomed to it, and they did not have the slightest expression.
"I don't know where you came from, but ...... Welcome to the 'City of Sin'. Francie touched his mustache and introduced to Yan Xiuze: "We are now in the 'outer city' of Black Star City, and most of the people living here are ordinary people and low-level mechanical transformers, so there should be no threat to you." ”
Yan Xiuze listened to Franci's introduction while observing the surrounding environment......
The outer city of Blackstar looks a bit of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where you'll find a myriad of technologically savvy buildings, sporadic speeding cars passing through the sky, arms store fronts made entirely of unknown metal shells, and giant unreal 3D billboards featuring a sexy bunny girl scratching her head at the passers-by.
However, corresponding to this "sense of technology" are metal waste shells, garbage, rusty, and oil-stained abandoned stores that can be seen everywhere...... and foul-smelling roadside gutters.
This clear sense of the future world and the backward urban construction made Yan Xiuze feel a strange sense of separation in his heart, but the strange thing is that although these elements are stacked together to make people feel very "awkward", for some reason, Yan Xiuze has another voice in his heart reminding himself: "This is actually nothing strange." ”
In fact, the reason why Yan Xiuze has this "strange" feeling in his heart is nothing more than that the real future world does not match the "future world" preset in his heart.
However, no matter what the future world that Yan Xiuze had preset in his heart was like, it didn't matter now......
"Welcome to Cyberpunk 2040......" Yan Xiuze whispered to himself, saying a stalk that only he understands.
"Okay, we're about to enter the real 'outtown', keep up." The three of them still walked deeper, and after a short time they came to a slightly narrow entrance to the block, and Francie turned back and said, "To be honest, I don't know much about this place, something has happened, but don't forget to cover us." ”
"Aren't you residents of Black Star City?" Yan Xiuze snorted lightly, obviously a little strange about Franci's cautious attitude.
"Of course not, we two don't dare live here." Fronton, who was following behind Yan Xiuze, shrugged his shoulders and explained, "We are actually ordinary fishermen who live in the surrounding towns of Black Star City, and we only enter the outer city of Black Star City when we are working. ”
"But even so, we don't dare to stay here longer...... You must know that there are not a few guys who die on the streets of Black Star City every year. ”
"This is just the outer city where there are no superpowers and high-level transformers, if it's in the inner city......" Fronton shrunk his neck at this time, his face changed slightly, as if the mere mention of the term inner city made his heart tremble: "If it's in the inner city...... I'm afraid that ordinary people like us will be gnawed to the point that there are no bones left in an instant......"
"Since Black Star City is so dangerous to you, why do you deliberately put yourself in danger?" Yan Xiuze said strangely.
"Of course, it's because of making money!" Francie said as a matter of course: "The same fish can be sold for three times the normal price in the outer city of Black Star City!" If it's in the inner city, it can even be sold for ten times the price! ”
"The profit is well worth the risk...... Fronton adds, "and if you don't get into trouble and keep a low profile...... In fact, there is not much danger in the outer city...... Of course, I'm referring to the normal situation, after all, in Black Star City, any accident can happen. ”
While talking, Yan Xiuze and the others have come to the depths of the block, and in the process of traveling, Yan Xiuze will see several mechanical transformers with mechanical prostheses passing by from time to time, even if there are normal people without prostheses, almost all of them are carrying some metal exoskeletons that look quite cheap, but they don't know how to actually fight.
Outside the surrounding stores, there are some hot, scantily clad street girls, throwing winks at pedestrians on the road from time to time, and there are also direct customers soliciting.
However, the Fran brothers turned a blind eye to this, which was quite a bit unbeautiful.
"This area is actually a famous red light district outside Blackstar City, but I don't recommend you to solve your physiological problems here." Francie explains: "Although there are no great characters in the outer city, in fact, there are still many dragons and snakes, and it is very likely that you will encounter black shops when you recruit prostitutes here, and the prices are ...... high."
"Sometimes it's easy to fall for a black store even if you don't run into a black shop...... Fronton adds: "There are even venues that use bionic robots to fill up ......"
"The point is that you don't even recognize ......"
