Chapter 153: The Decaying City of Steel
Murray left the venue, not caring about the people in the venue at all, for Murray now, those guys can be crushed to death at will.
It's just that now he still needs to save the lives of those guys, because he knows very well in his heart that this chaos that has swept the West was provoked by the great mechanic who betrayed the Dragon Kingdom.
No matter what the other party's ultimate goal is, you can't easily give the other party a chance, someone must compete with the other party.
Therefore, for today's Murray, Viscount Lane is a part of the power that can compete with the betrayer.
They must be left behind, and they must be given some support so that they can stand up to the betrayers.
The most important thing at the moment is to meet Aunt Shanna and see if the matter on Aunt Shanna's side can be reversed.
The thought of Uncle Raul's death, and the thought of Aunt Shanna, who is now a dark witch, made Murry's heart burn with anger.
But Murray knew very well that he had to restrain his emotions and never let anger ruin everything.
Just as Murray walked towards the outside of the Steel City, walking in the now abandoned Steel City city.
The current uptown town has long since lost the prosperity it once had, the streets are a little cluttered, and the shops on the streets are closed.
From time to time, some ragged civilians would pounce on them, begging Murray to give them some food.
Or maybe the nobles who were still dressed in good clothes passed by, and naturally sneered at those ragged commoners.
Ostensibly, the commoners now have their power to compete with Viscount Lane and the nobles.
In reality, however, most of the civilians have become poorer, trapped in the steel city and left to live on the streets.
Seeing a few women with children, Murray couldn't bear to step forward and give a sum of money.
But suddenly, I heard a sudden sound of braking not far away, and then a voice shouted: "Come quickly, come over for me, come to work, and those who want to work and eat come over quickly." ”
The next moment, a group of people who had been surrounding in front of Mo Li quickly ran towards the stopped car.
And it was not only the commoners who ran over, but also some nobles who were still well-dressed.
At this moment, it reflects the equal status of nobles and commoners, because everyone needs to work and eat.
A young man stood on the steam cart and shouted loudly to the crowd that gathered around him: "Listen, there is a wave of sea tribes attacking on the southwest coastline, and there is an urgent need for a group of men there. ”
"Tell you guys, you can go over there to move stones to build walls, and those who have the ability can also go over there to lead troops to fight with the Sea Clan, everyone has a chance, and those who are selected to go will be rewarded with three copper coins, and as for food, there will be one over there. ”
The young man said very clearly, and the conditions were naturally very harsh, not to mention the low remuneration of three copper coins.
Food must also arrive at the battlefield, and I'm afraid it will be a question of whether you can eat it when you get there.
Murray faintly heard an elderly man next to him muttering, "Hey, now that the road to the west is blocked, it is a question of whether he can survive or not." ”
It may sound like the situation on land is also very difficult, but even so, many people rushed to sign up.
A young man who looked like he was born into a famous family shouted, "Hey, hey, I, I've been trained as a proper knight, and I can definitely defeat the Sea Clan." ”
Glancing at the young man, an iron sign was quickly thrown out of the steam car: "Okay, take this, go to the western suburbs, the team will gather there." ”
After catching the iron sign, the young man hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord in the car, I, can I get three copper coins first?"
There was silence in the car for a moment, and then the voice sounded again: "Have you ever heard that you get paid first if you don't work?"
The young man did not give up and continued: "My mother, my mother is seriously ill now, she, she really needs money to see a doctor. ”
Soon, an indifferent answer sounded in the car: "I'm sorry young noble master, but at this time, no one will pity you." ”
The young man felt very lost, thought for a moment and asked again, "So, can I get some food?"
This time, the people in the car were visibly enraged: "Damn it, Dont, get this bastard out of me, don't waste time here." ”
The young man on the roof of the car immediately raised the muzzle of the black hole and pointed it at the young man and said, "Young nobleman, you'd better leave obediently." ”
Facing the muzzle of the gun on his head, the aristocratic young man had bruises on his arms, but in the end he left with the iron plate in his hand.
After the aristocratic young man left, when he saw the gun in Tangte's hand, the rest of the people lined up in a very orderly manner.
The men on the steam cart soon issued another batch of iron signs, and those who could see that they were capable of fighting like aristocratic young men were all iron signs, while the commoners who could only work as coolies were wooden signs.
Watching everything happen in front of him, Murray suddenly found that he could do nothing about it, and he couldn't help so many people.
In the end, he could only leave silently, leaving the upper city where the crowd gathered, and running all the way to the lower city.
Before heading to the Viscount's Castle, Murray wanted to visit the factories on the outskirts of the Lower City and meet Augustus.
Walking into the lower town, the scene here is completely different from the upper town, and it looks even more dilapidated.
It can be seen that the entire steel capital has been devastated a lot, and the lower city should be the hardest hit area of that devastation.
As you can see, some of the houses on the street have become dilapidated, and there are hardly any people in the street.
Occasionally, there would be a few heads of people, and when they saw Mori from afar, those people would consciously dodge.
The little dragon lying on Mori's shoulder suddenly whispered at this time: "Someone has been following us all the time, all the way here." ”
Murry nodded calmly: "I know, it's those half-blood dragon country people, they really don't want to give up." ”
Xiaolong then asked, "Do you want me to dispose of him?" ”
Murray thought for a moment and said, "No, let him come, in fact, I would like to meet him and see what the group of betrayers is doing." ”
Continue along the more familiar streets of the lower town, where you can barely see people.
However, through Xiaolong's perception, there are actually a lot of people gathered in the seemingly dilapidated houses on both sides of the street.
Judging from the dragon's description, most of those who took refuge in the lower city did not want to participate in the war, so they had to choose to dodge.
It's just that Murray is puzzled, these guys are hiding here, what do they eat to survive?
There was a loud "boom", a small building in front of it was uprooted, and the people hiding in the small building were full of horror.
These people who were hiding from the war did not expect that someone would directly uproot the small building where they were hiding.
Xiao Lou went straight to Moli, obviously the other party was going to kill Moli as soon as he made a move, and there was no mercy at all.
