Chapter 557: Return to the Black Carpet
When: One week later. Location: On the outskirts of the old area of Black Carpet City, at the top of the metal scrap tower.
"Black Carpet City, I'm back. A dark shadow looked into the distance and sighed.
......
Since the alien invasion three months ago, Black Carpet City has remained shrouded in gloom. This time the loss is too great, the main battlefield of the battle between the aliens and the chickens is in the new area, where it has long been burned into a piece of char by the high temperature, the sandy ground is about to be burned to glass, and the surface of the ground has been plowed out by the alien deathlight cannon with countless terrible and huge dents. The old area, which was originally relatively well preserved, was completely damaged by one-third due to the crash of the space battleship.
This sudden disaster caused about 100,000 civilians to die in the old and new districts, and countless people were disabled. The five major forces that originally ruled the city were also reshuffled.
The tuna bar, which belongs to the peripheral forces of the Zero Ring, completely turned over this time, leveled the other four competitors in one fell swoop, dominated the rivers and lakes, and became the king of the underground world of Black Carpet City, turning the protection fee into a legal tax, and its gangsters and hooligans also successfully put on black uniforms.
The well-preserved crayfish nightclub moved its headquarters to the nearby steel city as soon as possible, saying that it would no longer participate in the power struggle in Black Carpet City.
As for the super-oppressive peripheral organization Iron Lunch Box, after playing several games with the Ring of Zero, it was completely defeated, and the armed forces were disbanded, becoming a professional smuggling courier company, and no longer setting foot in the dark side of Black Carpet City. For this soft nail that has been lying in the old area, Zero Ring doesn't care. After all, super pressure is made of steam armor, which has nothing to do with the biological field, so there is no need to be too guarded.
It turned out that the Black Flag Army, one of the four major forces, had the worst fate, and they originally had a second-level sub-divine vein, so they should be the strongest of the four major forces. At its peak, it even controlled the police system of the entire old district, and it was in the limelight. It's a pity that the center of the alien battleship's fall this time is the headquarters of the Black Flag Army and the Insect Repellent Pioneer, and as a result, these undead and Cesara suffered the heaviest losses.
When Zero Ring entered the Black Carpet City and took control of the deep forest in the north, the first thing he did when he turned his head was to recruit the divine veins of the Black Flag Army. These downcast undead will not agree. chose to resist, but was beaten by the Ring of Zero, and died again. The Black Flag Army, which had originally returned to the underworld in illusion brocade clothes and competed for the position of the god of death in the Central Underworld, was completely disbanded, and the remnants of the miscellaneous fish rolled back to their hometown in the Central Underworld.
It's not much stronger than the Black Flag Army, and it's naturally the insect repellent vanguard mastered by Cesara. When Zero Ring officially entered the Black Carpet City and excluded dissidents, Holmes also seized the opportunity. Returned to the black carpet, banished the milk, deceived Byron, and successfully incited Tolkien and others to defect.
After that, there was only a group of stragglers and brave 'insect repellent pioneers', who were dealt with by the Zero Ring in minutes, and finally only one of the 'bargaining kings' Molière, who lost his job, jumped ship to join the Zero Ring. In their back office, they are quietly doing the procurement work.
......
It was already the beginning of August, and the weather was at its hottest. The reconstruction of the Black Carpet City is also in full swing. However, the most important construction area still occupies the Zero Ring branch of the old site of the new district. As for the badly damaged old area, no one cares about it.
However, the cunning people in the old area are not covered, although the black carpet of this cosmic invasion suffered heavy losses, but the originally flat land suddenly had a huge space battleship as a mountain, and there were crashed alien spaceships in the streets and alleys. Those big forces will then complete the ship. After the valuable equipment was taken away, a large amount of garbage was left behind. The displaced refugees have lived in abandoned alien warships, and they have given full play to the spirit of ant moving, dismantling this side to make up for that. The new Black Carpet City was rebuilt. In addition, in recent times, Ceylon's black technology level has grown out of control, and the originally backward black carpet has changed greatly, becoming a deformed city where prosperity and backwardness, primitive and civilization, magic and technology are mixed.
Even though it was the second time I saw this scene, I couldn't help but admire...... It's spectacular!"
I don't know when, on the outskirts of the old area of Black Carpet City, on a twenty or thirty-meter-high tower formed by the fragments of a broken space battleship deeply inserted into the ground, two small black shadows wrapped in black cloaks appeared.
The tower, formed by the wreckage, is distorted in shape, made up of countless deformed metal parts, and is stunningly visible from afar. But compared to the wreckage of a battleship that looked like winding mountains in the distance, it was a single hair on the body of a colossus, and it was inconspicuous.
The black flat battleship was deeply embedded in the earth, and the originally hard surface became full of holes, and the huge holes sprayed out by the chicken cutting cannon were clearly visible. The huge volume resembles a mountain, with a vertical height of several thousand meters, which is awe-inspiring, and the highest peak is even entangled with white clouds. And on the surface of this metal mountain, from time to time, there are humans who are smaller than ants, crawling around, as if gnawing on something on the surface of the cliff......
Today's Black Carpet residents are armed with a cutting tool made by the Original Sin Syndicate, which is inexpensive and uses industrial magic fuel. Only with this tool can these alien warships be cut. The new job of the Black Carpet residents is to cut the metal made of these alien unknown materials and sell them for money. Or work in the alien creature cultivation base of the Ring of Zero, and engage in breeding work.
The former type of work is heavy and hard, but it is highly rewarding. Alien metal, whether it is used to make mecha or metal weapons, is the best material. The only downside is that it's difficult to enchant and can't channel magic, and it seems to be mutually exclusive with Ceylon's supernatural power system. However, there are still many people who are willing to buy, and in just two months, the per capita income of these homeless residents in the old district has exceeded three times the average salary in the central region. The only thing that makes people unhappy is that the industrial mana sold by Original Sin is too expensive.
"It's no wonder that Black Carpet City is gradually being accepted by all parties, and has even been rated as one of the cities with the most potential to become a top metropolis. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I understand what it means to be shocking. Speaking of which, originally I was not afraid of aliens, and the horror of the disaster god was unimaginable to mortals, but seeing the wreckage of this battleship, my heart was a little scared. The shorter man in black said.
"Don't worry, the water in Ceylon is very deep, so don't worry about us little trash fish. You say it has the potential to become a top city?"
Hearing Duncan's assessment, Cesar was a little surprised. The geographical location of the black carpet is indeed not good, it is too close to the central underworld, there are no specialties, there is no top-level true divine vein, and there is no strong power to support it, so it is difficult to develop. Even if there was a giant battleship wreckage now, he couldn't see any future. It would be nice to develop into a tourist city.
"You don't understand, the forest north of the black carpet is the only place where 'Creature Magic Stones' can be produced at the moment. Zero Ring has great ambitions to develop this place into a biotech city, on an equal footing with the magical technology mecca 'Usen'. And then there's this battleship, although the best part has been scraped off, but the wreckage itself is a resource. As you can see, the technology of Black Carpet City is improving rapidly, and it is very likely to develop into a technology city with the style of an alien civilization. Duncan, hidden under the cloak, explained.
"Oh, is that so? It's a long experience. Cesar nodded, but secretly sneered in his heart.
The association is urging itself so urgently, where is the fundamental purpose of the 'biological magic stone' or 'battleship wreck', what they want is nothing more than the sub-divine vein they have mastered. He had long felt that there was something strange about that thing, just a second-grade inferior product, it could actually extract the divine power of the true divine vein quality, it was definitely not an ordinary thing. There are also those seventeen-year-old cicadas, which are also strangely tight, but unfortunately he can't delve into the mysteries, so he can only occupy the treasure land and raise flies.
"Are you going to help me in this operation?" asked Cesar suddenly.
"Don't dream! My mission this time is to observe your every move and see if you are sincere in joining the association. ”
"Just talk about surveillance. Cesar sarcastically said, "What good is it that I have done so much to complete the task?"
"As soon as you complete the mission this time, we will return your mobile castle. ”
"Cut, that's a nice thing to say. I bought the slipper itself, and it was my own personal possession!, and the castle is now in my possession, where do you get your superiority?"
"If you can't finish it, we'll take back the castle!"
"Old face, you threaten me again, be careful of my passivity. Cesar looked down as teams of men and horses drove in and out of tattered hovertrucks, transporting cut metal.
"And when are you going to act?"
"It's not far away, it's today!" Cesar suddenly looked up, his covered eyes looking into the distance, as if he was looking at something, as if he was waiting for something. (To be continued......)
