Chapter 8 Hold Your Hand
As the name suggests, Midnight City is at its busiest and busiest after midnight. When the day passes, and the deadly radiation brought by direct sunlight weakens, it is the time for all living beings to come out, and the whole city comes alive, brightly lit and noisy, and men and women are venting their endless ** and fear of survival in the most savage and primitive way. It is only in a place like Midnight City, where there is a lot of energy that can be wasted, that there is such unrestrained lighting possible.
When Su entered Midnight City, it was still morning, and the whole city was quiet, and the people who had gone through the ** carnival were still recovering in their sleep. As far as the eye can see, the wide streets are littered with discarded garbage and closed nightclubs. There were also a few people who were too drunk to wake up on the street. It's still very cold at night, and if you're drunk and lying like this, even if you have a first-order defense enhancement, you will probably lose your life if you come a few more times. But who cares when the fun is in full swing?
Like all cities of this era, Midnight City was built on the ruins of an old-time city. Able to raise a population of tens of thousands, the Blade of Destruction can indeed be proud of this, of course, this is closely related to the fact that they have enough energy, clean water and food. However, compared to the huge ruins left behind by the old era, Midnight City's current city area only occupies a small area.
Similar to the Dark Dragoon, Midnight City also has radiation cleaning technology, and the radiation range inside the city is much lower than outside the city, which is not an easy task. It is important to know that the priority target of nuclear weapons in a war is a large city, so the radiation in the ruins of the city is often much higher than the surrounding natural environment. However, the anti-radiation force field built by Dragon City that can protect the entire city is definitely not the same as the Blade of Destruction.
Around Midnight City, there are several similar cities, more than a hundred kilometers away from each other. The Gates of Steel occupied the mines left over from the old era, established the metallurgical industry, and thus formed a complete military-industrial system that could produce all kinds of weapons, from bullets to chariots. The city of Nova Milan is known for its biotechnology, and most of the formulations in the region are produced in it. In addition to this, there are several smaller cities and factions. Further west, there are large mountain ranges, whose cold climate, barren environment, and creatures have mutated over the decades, making them an area of human absence.
If you look at it as a whole, it's actually an exceptionally prosperous area. More than a million people live in this area, and while most struggle daily for food to survive, at least they have the right to live after selling their bodies, their dignity and other things they can sell. And most importantly, they know they can live tomorrow, if not particularly unlucky.
This is fundamentally different from the wilderness dwellers, who wander the wilderness to survive and never have a tomorrow.
Midnight City was still asleep, but Sue could already feel the vibrancy of the city. Compared to Dragon City, it has a small population, dirty streets, and significantly less developed technology, and looks at least thirty years behind. But the vitality and vitality here is something that Su Bu has never experienced in Dragon City.
Jack takes Sue to the hotel area on the edge of the city, which is full of ** residences, which can meet Sue's need for quiet and privacy. Food, water, women and men, this is where Sue can be provided with the qiē he needs and with limited security. Additional bodyguards are available, but they are available for an additional fee. After symbolically asking Sue for his opinion, Jack reported the information of Sue and his party, and promised that it would not be long before the opportunity to make money came. The area around Midnight City is not peaceful, and while it is not as warlike as the Dark Dragoons, skirmishes erupt from time to time. And every once in a while, there will always be one or two big battles. Such an environment is quite good for the ** army that wants to make money.
Regardless, compared to the war-torn Dark Dragoons, this place is still as calm as heaven.
Su Bao has built a villa, which is big enough for five people, and there are two off-road vehicles in the yard. After a short rest, the group prepared to walk around the city, take a look at the environment, and also look for opportunities by the way.
Su had a vague idea in his heart, but this idea was not real at the moment, and it was not a field he was familiar with. But he also felt more and more clearly that if he wanted to let the people around him live a peaceful life, maybe this was the only way.
In the afternoon, Midnight City began to wake up. In this city, the main forms of entertainment are sex, alcohol, drugs, ** and fighting, in fact, there are no more tricks than in the old days. The difference is only that there is more chaos here, more of the law of the jungle.
Adapted to the way people live, the roads here are lined with bars, night clubs, pharmacies, weapons shops and clinics. Hotels are rare, and there are enough abandoned houses in the ruins of the city to provide free shelter and entertainment for those struggling at the bottom of the city. Sue can only rent hotels for a small group of people at the top of the biopyramid.
Quinn went to find the tools and some raw materials he needed, and he wanted to see if he could make bullets for the electromagnetic kinetic rifle. As for the currency, the universal ammunition brought out this time is the best hard currency. Li couldn't stay idle, and ran out with Rigore. Sue, on the other hand, walked aimlessly with Medirri.
Before leaving the hotel, according to Jack's previous plan, Sue brought a large-caliber ** that was known to be powerful at a glance, and deliberately hung it on the outside of her clothes, so as to avoid some unnecessary trouble. There's no shortage of guys in Midnight City who want to get some money for alcohol or drugs.
In this way, Sue took Medirri and walked aimlessly in Midnight City, passing through the eyes of the ** of all shapes and shapes. From books from the old days, Sue knew that it was called shopping, and it was an entertainment that almost everyone had. And now, even in the relatively peaceful and free city of Midnight, this is still a right that only a few people can enjoy. These are two very different eras. In the old days, people were divided into two kinds, the poor and the rich. In the new era, the most common classification is still to divide people into two categories, the living and the dead.
In the leisurely stroll of the two people, almost all the eyes of the people on the street turned to them. Su didn't hide his face anymore, and his pale blonde hair fluttered in the wind, as if dyed with a warm glow. Although the long brim of the combat cap covers most of Medirri's face, the small part of the face exposed, the perfectly proportioned figure and unique temperament still attract the attention of all male creatures. The two of them walked most of the street, but there was no one looking for trouble. This is not because of the deterrence of the new era**, but because Medirri's beauty is so amazing that it completely surpasses the psychological endurance of ordinary ruffians. They didn't even dare to look at Medirli!
While strolling, Medirli took Sue's hand very naturally, all the movements, all the expressions, so natural, so natural, just like eight years ago.
In Su's heart, in an instant, it was indeed like returning to the years when he was young.
Medirli knew Sue's thoughts, without any reason, without using any power, she just knew. But she didn't show any expression on her face, she just followed Su like that, as if she hadn't done anything.
Anyway, already holding your hand.
But trouble always comes at the most inopportune time.
Sue and Medirli were barricaded in the middle of the mall by a group of malevolent men, a dozen of them, all dressed in colorful leather coats that also bore the symbol of the Blade of Perdition. Unlike the street thugs, this group is armed with heavy firepower, and the two heavy machine guns are not something that anyone can get their hands on.
A strong black man with the appearance of a leader came to Sue and Medirri, looking Medieri up and down with unscrupulous eyes, and did not hide the burning ** in his eyes.
"Hi boy! You're new here, right? Sue me, where did you come from? **, this girl is really *** terrible! The black man swallowed loudly.
Sue raised his head, looked up at the strong man who was a whole head taller than himself, and said with a smile, "It was Scythe Jack who brought us in." ”
The strong black man thought hard about it, and finally remembered who Jack was, so he showed a cruel smile and said, "Jack? Who are you trying to scare with that soft egg? Even if he himself is standing here, he doesn't even dare to let out a fart! ”
"Really?" Su glanced at his overly strong body again, and suddenly asked, "You have a third-order defensive ability?" ”
The black man was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently: "It's the third order!" But Lao Tzu is more than a third-order defense! There is also the power of the third order..."
Medirli wanted to take a step forward, but suddenly felt a tightness in Sue's hand. So she bowed her head slightly, and returned to her place, standing quietly, like a girl who could easily be hurt.
Then, in the pupils of the black strong man, Su leaned back, stood in front and back with his feet, clenched his right hand into a fist, and after accumulating enough strength, he punched out and hit his ** chest!
In his eyes, every movement of Su is so clear, so rhythmic, but each action will bring out countless afterimages, and in an instant, he actually saw countless Su, thousands of Su finally converged together, and converged into a punch in the air!
Hit by a tank? It was the last thought in his consciousness.
Before Su's fist was solid, the black man's ** mouth collapsed, and then the huge body of more than 100 kilograms flew up in the air, and in front of the eyes of more than ten subordinates who had watched hundreds of ruffians before, they were hit by Su Yi's punch and flew upside down for 100 meters!
When the body finally falls, it is no longer ** shaped. After the cavity of the black strong man collapsed, the residual strength was not dissipated, and it was transmitted to the limbs and head, and where it passed, the bones and muscles were torn apart, and the organs that had long been squeezed and shattered were mixed with minced meat and blood, and shot out from the countless cracks around the body.
The third-order defense power that the black strong man was rampant with was as if there was nothing in front of Su!
There was a dead silence in the long street.
Looking at the corpse a hundred meters away, Su said lightly: "...... You should ask me what level of power I have. ”
Sue took Medirri's hand again, didn't even look at the black man's strong men, and walked forward leisurely. Medirli had her right hand in her pocket, and her other hand was holding Sue, as quiet as a cat, just following him like this. Suna's unreserved punch made her heart very peaceful. So at this time, she didn't care what Su thought.
Because, anyway, it's still holding your hand.
