Chapter 21: Re-entry into the Poor Cellar
"I'm Lawrence! Please answer when you receive it! ”
Sitting in the hovering locomotive, Macom's communicator rang, and when he saw that it was Lawrence's call, he didn't dare to slack off, "I'm Maar!" ”
"The target has been confirmed, we are already on our way, but it will take some time to arrive. Now you follow the route I sent you and go to the target area first. Lawrence's voice came over the communicator.
"Roger!"
Ending the communication, Macomb opened the email sent to him by Lawrence on the locomotive's control panel, "Abandoned Lookout Station......"
After closing the mail, Makom headed to the area at full speed...
……
Frank's consciousness gradually came to his senses, his eyelids twitched a few times, and Nova in his arms was still unconscious, but still breathing, but unconscious.
Frank felt a wave of heat rush over his face, faintly heard a synthetic sound, and finally opened his eyes with difficulty.
"Warning, the plane is about to explode, please stay away from the area......"
When he woke up, a piercing synthetic sound came into his ears, and then he saw the plane burning, and Frank woke up suddenly, and suddenly thought of something.
"Nova ......" he looked down to see that Nova was in his arms, but still unconscious. And the warning of the synthetic voice reminded him again. He kicked open the door with great difficulty, then left the cockpit with Nova in his arms, and used what he could now do to move away from the exploding plane.
Rumble!
Just as Frank walked more than ten meters, the aircraft exploded with a bang, and the shock wave from the explosion knocked him down, but it was Frank lying on the ground, and the unconscious Nova was lying on Frank's chest, and she was not hurt.
Frank couldn't exert any strength now, and blood, dirt, and sweat mingled on his face, making it almost impossible to see his face.
He gasped for air, and his heart struggled in pain.
Weishenme will be like this? weishenme happened in advance? Is it true that fate cannot be changed? weishenme, what the hell is weishenme ...
He was screaming, screaming, and struggling helplessly, and he couldn't accept what was happening.
After the pain, Frank finally calmed down, he tried to overcome himself, not let his emotions get out of control, don't think about anything, all he has to do now is to recover as soon as possible and get out of here.
He slowly got up from the unconscious Nova in his arms, and then staggered step by step, he didn't know where it was, but reason told him to get out of here as soon as possible.
Tired Frank left the abandoned lookout station with Nova in his arms, and they walked into the 173 Ghetto Cellar, Frank looked around with his tired eyes, he knew where he was now, it must be some ghetto! He thought to himself.
His heart sank, this was the Poor Cellar, he knew the situation well, it was inhabited by the poor, and there were the expelled scoundrels, the vagrants, and the people who could only find the lowest jobs.
All the ugliness in the shadows is gathered here.
Sin is rampant in the slums.
Frank came to a narrow sidewalk, paused and confirmed with the unobtrusive artificial light that it was still daytime, but the sunlight was not shining in. The promenade he was on now led to a cul-de-sac, with no road in front of him, surrounded by all sorts of tall buildings, without windows or doors. The only door was locked with an electromagnetic lock, and it appeared to have been unused for a long time. He Xiangshang looked, there are three buildings are high and can't see the top, Xiangshang extends infinitely, and has reached the clouds, he can also see the three-dimensional traffic above, can see various brands of suspension locomotives coming and going.
Frank took a different path, although their clothes were tattered, but the haode fabric could still show that they were not ordinary people, especially the dress that Nova was wearing. The people in the slum's cellar all looked at Frank with strange eyes, and the two strangers, dressed in gorgeous and very tattered clothes, looked like fallen nobles.
Who does the Ghetto hate the most? Of course, it was the group of nobles, they looked at the pair of fallen nobles very playfully, and their hearts were extremely happy when they saw the two of them down.
……
Makom finally made it to the abandoned lookout station, but it was already dark, and all he was left with was a smoking, nothing else. After reporting the situation to Lawrence, he drove the hovering locomotive into the nearby 173 Ghetto Cellar.
……
Frank eventually sits down on a dirty sidewalk, and Nova is still in his arms in a comatose state.
"I'm sorry that you're interfering with my normal broadcast, please leave immediately."
Frank tilted his head slightly, and he saw an AAI model artificial intelligence advertising machine next to him
Frank ignored him, he looked down at the broken Nova and straightened her blonde hair, wiping the dirt from her face.
"I'm sorry you're getting in the way of my normal broadcast, and if you don't leave, I'll have to contact the Tasanis Police Department."
AAI would only get himself in trouble, and Frank finally reacted, and he decided that it would be better to stay away from this thing, so Frank stayed away from the AAI, and he was still sitting on the street.
"Do you want to be in the air, flying faster than anyone else?" Frank looked sideways at the AAI, which looked very different from the previous one, it was now a teenager in full suspension protection, and the 3D virtual imager could change along with its appearance.
AAI's mouth opened and closed in a teenage voice, "Of course." ”
The AAI took on the form of a hovering locomotive again, and the imager projected the fast-moving ground behind it, making it look more like it was moving fast: "The new Type 428 hovering locomotive is yours today." ”
Model 428, isn't this exactly what Sewo is all about? It's a pity that there will be no new 428 locomotives in the future. Frank thought.
(Look!) Freddy, look what we see, two down-and-out nobles? There's also a chick too!
I see, Bill, wow! That chick is really good-looking.
That's right, Freddie. )
These thoughts burst into Frank's mind, driving away the moment of peace that AAI had brought to him.
He looked up, and not far away, two young men about the same age as him were approaching them, dressed in tattered clothes and smelling of them. Frank sensed the violent thoughts and the dirty thoughts in the hearts of the two men.
"Stay away from me!" Frank's voice was hoarse and inaudible.
Freddie pretended to be overwhelmed by his words: "Did you hear what he said?" Bill. ”
Bill put on the same expression: "I don't think he likes us very much, it should be like this, Freddy." ”
"We should tell him we're good people, Bill."
"That's right, Freddy." They began to slowly approach, staring at Nova in Frank's arms.
"Again, don't come here!" Frank's voice became even hoarse, he didn't want to do anything to such a scumbag, and secondly, he wanted to save himself some effort.
"Now, give us that chick and we'll take good care of her, right, Bill."
"That's right! Freddy. Tut-tut! Look at that delicate face, my heart is rippling when I see it. ”
"Scum!" Frank muttered to himself, not glancing at them.
A second later, Freddie felt a tingling in his chest, and Bill found himself suddenly dizzy and unable to see what was in front of him.
Frank finally got up and left the place, and the fate of the two men was extremely tragic, one died under the painful angina, and the other became a complete fool. There must be something hateful about the poor man, and this is exactly what this sentence says.
An hour and a half later, a hovering locomotive arrived, it was Macom, his eyes were sharp, the man lying on the ground should be dead, and next to the deceased, another person had been looking up at the sky, looking like a madman.
Makom pondered in the car for a while, Zuihou still got out of the car to look, he found that this person was really a fool, and then he looked at the corpse lying on the ground, Makom endured the smell and turned his head over, this person should have died not long ago, he thought, because this person still has residual warmth on his body. Soon, Makom discovers that there is something unusual about the corpse.
The dead man's ears were bloodstained, and Makom tied his eyelids, and his eyes were already bloodshot, and there was even blood left behind.
"Could it be ......" Makom thought to himself, and retrieved a device from the locomotive, which was a dilapidated PSI ghost sensor. He pointed the device at the corpse and turned it up to maximum power.
After waiting for a while, the instrument finally moved.
"It's ghost, ghostly energy detected." Makom couldn't help but say excitedly.
Then he quickly connected to Lawrence, "Sir, I found some faint spectral energy bands, and now send them to you, please analyze them." ”
Soon, Lawrence's excited voice came out, "That's right! That's what we're looking for. Where are you? ”
"173 Poor Cellar, uh... Be... District 99. Yes, 99th Division. ”
"Very good, you keep tracking, don't startle the snake, we'll be there in an hour."
"Understood!"
Makom stepped into the hovering locomotive and quickly left, ignoring the still alive man, believing that it would not be long before a new corpse and a decomposing corpse would appear here.
……
"Get me a clean house and hot water."
Frank finally finds a hotel and trades his personal PC for three days of lodging and food.
Frank carefully put Nova on the bed, rested for a while, and then made her roughly clear and clean, and the tired Frank finally fell asleep
