"By the way, is Patriarch Misha okay?" Burke asked, leaning against the leather cushion of the modified salamander car, moving as he spoke, and sure enough, he was still not used to the wheeled vehicle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The patriarch is very good, but I can't say the details, since the patriarch wants to see you, then I can only bring you over as simple as that, no matter more, I'm just a driver after all."
"Oh, okay." Burke said this, while quietly touching the laser pistol on his waist: "So, what happened to the fight over there just now?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the Wade family is making trouble again, and those drug dealers will make trouble like this as long as they have too many things, and they want to turn the whole nest into an underground black market for them to peddle stimulants."
"What about you?" Wright suddenly asked, "What do you live on?" Mining? ”
"Technically, almost, this young lady." The hooded driver said, "But there is no such thing as ore in Lendeneum, so we dig for something else." ”
"For example?"
"Hey, miss, you don't know nothing, do you?" The driver was a little surprised, and then sighed a little speechlessly: "That's why I'm most annoyed by you big ladies...... Listen, this young lady, the so-called minerals of the nest capital, after all......"
"It's the garbage that has accumulated over the years in the nest capital, right?" Burke said suddenly.
"Well, that's it...... Strictly speaking, the source of our family's products is garbage, endless garbage. ”
The driver said indifferently, turning the wheel around the corner, turning the corner of an intersection where a burning truck was stacked and driving onto a slightly empty road.
"Look here, basically the closer to the bottom nest, the longer the garbage dump has been abandoned, although the life of the nest is worse than death, and there is almost no way out, but in the upper nest, those extravagant nobles can still get drunk and dream, their material consumption is constantly replenished by the transport ships flying from other places, and the more, endless garbage they produce is the source of our reproduction, weapons, equipment, food...... We rely on recycling and excavation to gain a foothold in the nest. ”
Then the driver laughed, and the salamander opened a new road, and Burke's eyes lit up.
There is no doubt that this place is still a nest, but this place is completely different from the place before, whether it is the shops, the civilians on the streets, even the gang members patrolling with weapons, and the workers in overalls, they all have something different on their faces.
Hope, or rather, the desire to live.
This is something that Burke barely sees even in the upper nest.
"You've arrived at our Zeroth family's precinct, and this is the outer street, as I said...... We live off waste, but what we create from it will allow us to help more people, and that's how our family exists. ”
Can garbage recycling and mineral disposal alone change people's mental state? Obviously, this is impossible, not just in terms of material support.
Unless there is some other force quietly supporting the family.
And Burke is precisely the group of people who know who those who are secretly helping.
"Looks like a good place." Having said that, Burke had no intention of saying it, after all, the random leakage of some important information would have unnecessary bad consequences, not to mention that those things had no real relationship with Burke himself. "When will we see the Patriarch?"
"Please wait, we've just arrived at the periphery, and there's still a lot of work to go." When the driver said this, many people on the road saw the driver and waved to him, and the driver also waved to greet them, and he was in a good mood and then suddenly turned back to Wright and Burke and said, "By the way, you two, do you mind if I play a minor tune to help the fun?" I'm bored just by turning it on like this. ”
Burke shrugged, Wright was stunned, and nodded, "Feel free." ”
"That's good, it's not good to sing, please don't mind." Then the driver happily blew a ditty.

The driver hummed so happily, with a prophecy that Burke didn't know, in a cheerful and relaxed rhythm.
"Where did you learn this song?" Burke asked, inwardly thinking that the tune sounded more like a children's song.
"This one? Isn't it a big deal, it's just a popular children's song in Xiachao here, and it uses our dialect, are you interested? ”
"Of course, be sure to sing a few more of these songs, they sound great."
"Well, that's good."
"By the way, what's the name of this song?" Burkewan asked with interest.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it's probably called Little Rippy, that's right."
