Chapter 555: Tragic Scene

"Sir, where are you going?" The taxi driver stared intently, he just asked a routine question, with the help of the light brain, the car will automatically board the fast suspension main รท, and it will not be a problem to go anywhere.

In Maningxing, those taxi drivers who enter and leave the interstellar airport are very leisurely, and the reason why they can make a living here is more or less background. The eyeliner of the Pantheon Organization is also mixed in, and as soon as every passenger arrives, its hologram will be transmitted to the relevant departments, so the water in it is very deep.

"Equatorial 3rd Division, 25th Settlement, thank you." The cold voice was like a cold wind blowing, and the taxi driver glanced at it, only to see a handsome young man in sunglasses sitting behind him, spitting out pale green smoke from his mouth.

"Hehe, the twenty-fifth settlement? It's been deserted for a long time, and you're a local with an accent? The taxi driver looked at the passenger through the rotating window with interest, and in fact few people went to the three equatorial subdivisions, which also had another nickname, the bloody slums.

"Abandoned for a long time? Can you give a general picture? The young man took off his sunglasses and showed a pair of piercing eyes.

"Whew, young man, your eyes are so scary, and you sit like a soldier." The taxi driver chatted casually as he ordered the light brain to climb the main road to the equator, and it was a long way to get to the equator, but the twenty-fifth settlement was indeed deserted, and perhaps the passenger could be stuffed into a small hotel with a familiar one on the way.

"I am a retired soldier, I was wounded in the battle, I walked out of Ma Ningxing more than ten years ago, and after more than ten years, I returned to the land where I was born and raised, hoping to live my duty and marry a beautiful wife. May I ask the driver, brother, is the 25th settlement really deserted? Although my childhood was not good, it was indeed my hometown. The young man seemed to recall the distant past, and his eyes suddenly became foggy.

"Alas! Speaking of the 25th settlement, I have to say that the Iron Fist Brotherhood, which was very violent a few years ago, was originally just a black organization that was spun out of some hairy children, and they occupied the 25th settlement fungus farm and slowly developed and expanded, but I didn't expect these descendants to really succeed, and the 25th settlement expanded outward, and now the 3rd and 2nd divisions of the equator are their territory.

These guys are from the twenty-fifth settlement, and after they have power, they will be drawn to join the Brotherhood of the Iron Fist, and now there are only some old and poor people left in the twenty-fifth settlement, only ruin and death remain, young man, do you still want to go? The taxi driver persuaded him well, he didn't want to go to that ghost place in the third equatorial division, he just wanted to pull the handsome young man behind him to the small hotel, and then let the proprietress introduce a few mechanical beauties, and then get a commission.

"Go to the twenty-five settlements, one hundred yuan q" The young man raised his hand and flew out a large bill, you must know that the monetary system of the Ma Ma House is linked to blue gold coins, and this 100 yuan Ma Ning coin is equivalent to twelve blue gold coins, which is a big price.

"A hundred dollars? What a big denomination. But sir, the three equatorial divisions are too dangerous, and if you go, ......" The taxi driver smiled slightly, he had a reason to do more good for himself.

"Brother driver, please don't treat me as a fat sheep, one hundred yuan is already the highest price that I, a poor soldier, can come up with, or you put me at the station, I will look at the map to find the past, I will never admit the wrong way home after so many years in the army." The young man's face was quite grim, and he couldn't help but make the driver mutter "dead face".

"Hehe, the young man is quite real, the eldest brother will take you on this trip. But I'm only going to throw you between the twenty-four settlements and the twenty-five settlements, and I won't wait for you in that hell place no matter how much money I give, so you have to think about it, once no one can carry you back to civilization, the deserted twenty-five settlements are the dead land, which is full of all kinds of diseases, and the temperature near the equator is high, and the radiation during the day can give normal people a ride to hell. The taxi driver chattered, but the passenger was like a piece of wood, with no expression on his face, if it weren't for the normal infrared system on the one, he really thought it was a biochemical robot produced by the military.

The young man in the taxi is naturally West, who has just returned home, and no one knows the truth under the cold face.

In the taxi, West called up Ma Ningxing's recent news reports and travel guides, and watched them there with relish, which made the taxi driver scorn in his heart.

Five minutes later, the taxi driver guessed that the cool young man must have been the dirt bun from some of the small warlord's troops, knowing that there were not many other things in the adjacent Kollan Star Field, but it was rich in warlords.

The taxi driver even used the power at hand to secretly search West's face, and the results he finally found confirmed his suspicions, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

West was flipping through the geography magazine, his fingers suddenly slowed down by a fraction of a second, and then returned to normal, continuing to read the information he was interested in.

After two hours of high-speed speeding, the taxi gradually slowed down, the dazzling sunlight covered the earth, the equatorial heat of Maningxing was amazing, and the rich people lived in the high latitudes, and only the poor eggs of the bitter haha would live in areas with excessive radiation.

After slowing down, the vehicle detached from the main suspension road to "sunbathe", and the locals are afraid that they will not be able to take it, and use tools such as hovering cars.

The driver was very skilled, and he drove himself, and the car raced above the almost desert surface, and a cloud of dust and smoke rolled up from the rear of the car.

Soon, the taxi came to a narrow crack above it, only to see that there was bottomless darkness below, which was the junction of the 24th and 25th settlements, and it was also a place to enter the "Thank you, big brother, driver, I am finally home." West let out a sigh of relief and opened the door, and then he jumped down in a daze, causing the driver to break out in a cold sweat.

Three seconds later, the taxi showed the image below, the young man in sunglasses had an anti-gravity force under his feet, and he slowly fell into the darkness, and anyone who saw his boots would exclaim and exclaim that it was really a good piece of equipment.

West's feet lightly jumped, jumping on the huge steel bars jutting out of the rock wall, and about a minute of diving down to the Bindai landslide that reached into the ground.

The massive landslide resembled a concrete embankment, so West's magic boots replaced the skateboard and went down the slope, sending two clouds of dust and smoke out of his heels.

"Poof" a lot of dust kicked up in the dark, and there were crooked sheep intestines and steel suspension ladders overhead, it seemed that West had taken a shortcut, worthy of the captain of the First Mobile Brigade, and had the courage that ordinary people could not match.

The ruined arch stood not far away, the twenty-fourth settlement to the left, and the twenty-fifth settlement to the right, and West walked towards the arch to the right without thinking about it.

The tunnel extends at the foot, and there is a dim light every 100 meters, which is a solar crystal embedded in the wall, which can use the outside solar energy to bring a little light to the dark underground world, but it is too old here, it is estimated that few people take this road, there is a musty smell in the air, and there is a breath from the depths of the tunnel.

West didn't show discomfort, instead he stretched his muscles comfortably, and his body turned into a dark shadow and quickly shuttled through the tunnel.

"Tsk, is this the twenty-fifth people's point? There were probably no more than ten people alive. West sniffed as if his nose was more sensitive than the Life Signatory.

The slender figure walked out of the tunnel, and West weaved between the dry, cold, and gloomy buildings. Settlement 25 was supposed to be an underground bunker long ago, but over time it has become a ruin, littered with filthy garbage and horrific bullet marks, and this is not a place for people at all.

"Bang, bang, bang" There was a sudden sound in the dim environment, and West approached step by step, only to see a one-eyed old man sitting in front of the ruins chopping a ball of flesh and blood, and he could vaguely tell that the blood mass should be a mouse.

"You, don't steal my food." The old man hugged the blood ball in a panic, and picked up an ancient firearm covered with strips of cloth from under him, he trembled and looked at the sturdy young man more than ten meters away, his cloudy sniper eyes were a little puzzled.

Now the twenty-fifth settlement is in ruins, and all the adults and children who are fighting have gone out to fight for the territory of the Brotherhood of the Iron Fist, and those guys are alive and well outside, and even if they die, they will not come back.

"Old man, I want to ask, is the Led family in the fungus farm still there? And Leon, if he still looks after the fungus field. West took out a few pieces of bread and a bottle of mineral water from his travel bag and handed them over, which should be rare food for the elderly.

"The Ledders? Leon? You, who you are, I seem to have an impression of you. The old man said and grabbed the bread and gnawed frantically, it turned out that his left arm was a prosthetic.

"I'm the third in the Led family, West." The young man puffed out his chest, revealing an imposing momentum.

"How is that possible? Isn't the West of the Ledder family far away, dropped? West ruined hope and sold mycelium to people outside, boy, what do you say your name is? The old man almost snapped his eyes, his tone tinged with extreme anger.

"Uncle, I've been wandering outside for more than ten years, and I've finally mustered up the courage to face the mistakes I once made, and it seems that I'm coming back late." West sighed heavily, his expression becoming lonely.

"Fuck off, you're not welcome here, although the former twenty-fifth settlement was bloody, everyone barely survived by relying on the fungus farm, it's you, it's you, the bastard, who made the house what it is now." The old man gasped violently as he spoke, and from a spiritual point of view, the old man's life sign instantly weakened a lot.

West shook his head, he was going to walk more, and at the same time he was very interested in the mushroom farm here, if the people of the twenty-fifth settlement were united and worked together, they would never lose hope. Obviously, the people here pin their hopes of survival on foreign plunder and expansion, and of course they can't be said to be wrong, but it seems a bit immoral to leave the old man in the ruins to die.

At this time, a cry was heard in the distance, and West "said goodbye" to the one-eyed old man and walked forward quickly. In fact, he is not the real West, but he is just going to help the real West fulfill his wish as a certain trade link.
