When all kinds of architectural scenery were already appearing outside the window, Zorro Diop was already ready in advance, waiting at the exit of the locomotive corridor.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, one meter tall and early seventies, thin build, soft facial features, high nose bridge, split curls that tend to be blonde, light blue eyes that are breathtaking, only some dry and wrinkled skin, and wearing faded short sleeves and inferior trousers can hardly magnify these advantages.

In front of him was a tall and burly man with a scar that was a full circle larger than his stature, with a fierce face on his face.

A few minutes ago, the Scar Man appeared and glared at him fiercely, and the four passengers, including Zorro, all stepped back half a meter in unison, leaving a large area for the Scar Man to be alone.

Although he was a little unhappy, Zorro still chose to follow his heart, not to mention that he didn't want to cause trouble.

The steam locomotive is slowing down, and its destination is approaching.

The station building is old, and the walls are yellow and black. The façade is divided into three parts: a middle and two wings. At the top of the white columns is a large flat-shell roof with cracks everywhere, and two bell towers in European and American styles are symmetrically built on either side of the roof.

There were many passengers waiting on the platform, and the staff were busy and maintaining order.

Passengers in all kinds of costumes lined up neatly, standing one meter away from the line, looking at the newspaper in their hands, smoking cigars with complicated expressions, or lowering the brim of their hats, and occasionally looking out of the station.

"Drop~"

A crisp locomotive whistle came from afar, and a vague serpentine black shadow appeared and gradually amplified.

With the sound of brakes, the locomotive began to brake and slow down, and soon stopped firmly on the platform.

"I'm sorry, let me go."

Zorro was at the front of the line, following behind the Scar Man, and in second, leaving the steam locomotive through the open exit between the carriages.

If two bodies are found by a transfer passenger, they will be reported to the Rank Keeper Group as soon as possible. In any case, the area near the station is difficult to give him enough security.

The composition of the station is simple.

With the exception of the old station building, the tracks, workbenches, and warning lights do not interfere with the overall unobstructed environment around it.

With no specific destination, Zorro didn't try to find a map, but walked briskly out of a corner where the crowd was loose and the buildings were gradually becoming denser.

The overall environment near the station is somewhat similar to that of the slums.

The old buildings you can see are rusty iron fences, and the white walls have long been yellowed and blackened.

Abandoned warehouses, garbage dumps, scrap yards, oil depots, underground passages, dilapidated cement roads, open-air homestays, with several beggar-like people lying inside, their hair long and messy that makes it impossible to identify men and women............

Is this really the world of the future?

Zorro muttered to himself in a wistful mood that the landscape he saw through his memories was still different from the feeling he had experienced, and that the living conditions here were even worse than those of European cities at the end of the nineteenth century.

In the distance, several huge fortress-like chimneys soared into the sky.

Exhaust fumes are released diagonally above the area along the exhaust ducts, and even extraordinarily thick dark clouds are faintly obscured from the sun.

At this time, he had inadvertently stepped into the confines of a dense alleyway area, surrounded by all kinds of gang-looking guys scrutinizing him like cheetahs.

There was no way to know if there was chaos at the station, but he didn't dare turn back anyway.

The topography of the alleyway area is troublesome, with corner passages everywhere, and in the dim darkness that the light cannot illuminate, when Zorro happens to turn in, he only feels like he is constantly adjusting his direction in a hive-like intricate labyrinth.

In the corner of the darkness, a few gangster-looking men walked by from time to time, looking at Zorro coldly.

At this time, two young men with dyed hair were talking in the shadows, each lighting a cigarette and revealing a tattoo with a black pattern on their arms.

What was being talked about was clearly captured by Zorro's ears and fed back into his brain. He had to praise the usefulness of this eavesdropping ability once again.

"Damn!

That guy from, I just came to ask me for a debt, do you have any extra change? If I can't hand it in again this Sunday, I might have some trouble. This time it's serious......."

"?

Brother Leopard, how dare you deal with that guy? Behind him are the lion hunters, the men and women of Odeh, and even the Dark Stake knows that he is a haggler. ”

"My brother has just been released, so I can't arrange a celebration... Don't look at me like that. Be.. Belch... Yes, I know I'm stupid. ”

"Brother Leopard, don't blame your brother for not helping you. It's just that I don't have a lot of money, and I spent a wave at the Verse Bar last night, and I soaked in a black girl, hehe, that taste, sultry legs sandwiched ....."

"Alright, stop. Jones, I'm not in the mood to hear you talk about this, I just want to fill the debt gap right now.

If I hadn't made up the debt by Sunday, Dago's shit would have broken my leg. He never jokes. ”

"Okay, Brother Leopard, look at everything. There happened to be a person over there, who looked a little unfamiliar, and looked like a newcomer from out of town in a steam locomotive, are you interested in making a stroke? ”

"Such torn clothes, it looks like a poor person, it is estimated that I live in the suburbs, and I can't afford to pay a few. Forget it, you can still extort a sum of money. ”

.....

Hearing this, Zorro frowned, he didn't want to cause trouble here, but the disaster happened to him for no reason.

Two tattooed men had already walked in his direction.

Among them, the young man known as Brother Leopard, wearing sunglasses and a beard, clasped his hands together, made a crunching sound of "clucking", and the corners of his mouth were filled with a dangerous smile.

"Hey, little brother....."

As the three of them got closer and closer, Brother Leopard even greeted Zorro.

Zorro didn't hesitate any longer, looked at him coldly, took out the gun half-hidden from his underwear pocket, and exposed the front end of the barrel to the two thugs, as if he was going to draw his gun and shoot at any moment.

"Guns!"

When Brother Leopard and Jones saw the pistol, their expressions immediately changed from fierce to pale and fearful, raised their hands, and stepped back.

"Little brother... No... Big brother, we just want to exchange feelings with you, don't get me wrong, you can communicate well if you have something, put the gun down quickly. ”

The speed of changing his face is really fast, it is really two guys who are very inward-looking, Zorro did not put down the gun, but asked by the way,

"Where is the city located?"

"Big brother, you're new here. Hehe, this is on the outskirts of the city, and the city is there... Big brother, go around the industrial area in front and you will see Haolin Street, which belongs to the urban area. ”

Brother Leopard, who has thick muscles and a rough appearance, flatters Zorro with a bird-like tone at this moment, for fear that the latter will shoot. On the outskirts of Sleepless City, there will be no one to do justice for him.

"Thank you."

Zorro hung down the gun, but did not put it in his pocket, so he was properly calm and vigilant, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other party.

Seeing this, the two thugs did not stay where they were, and hurriedly hid back in the alleyway.

After staying where he was for a moment, Zorro hid his gun in his inner pocket and walked towards the chimney with dark clouds.

The act of pulling out the guns was purely to scare off the two.

After all, it's just robbery, and in Huaxia's words, the crime is not fatal. If he shoots and kills people without scruples because of this incident, his heart will not be able to cross this hurdle for the time being.

As Zorro waited to leave the area, he could faintly hear the faint sound of discussion in the alleyway.

"Jones, you guy, you almost killed Lao Tzu."

"Who knew that guy would have a gun!

Looking at his dress, I thought he was a newcomer to the city, trying to make a way in the city that never sleeps. This time, I have to pay attention next time, and don't lose my life for no reason because of such a trivial matter. ”.....

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zorro.

Walking to the chimney area, he had a futuristic sense of technology.

The exhaust chimneys are hundreds of meters high and even wider. Huge factories are everywhere, made of steel and concrete, covering thousands or even tens of thousands of square meters, and with his unusual vision, he can even observe the flickering figures in the transparent glass windows.

What surprised him the most was the luxury sports cars that drove in and out of the factory from the wide road.

The body exudes a jewel-like luster, the shape is quite avant-garde, the curved taillights, the indicator lights, brake lights, and reversing lights are condensed together, the four wheels are more like four large turbines, and the body material is likely to use biofibers, like the future cars that appeared in science fiction movies.

If you have to use an analogy, the appearance is somewhat similar to the concept car of the 21st century.

But just by the acceleration, the silent features, he can conclude that this is far more high-end than the sports cars on the planet.

In the distance, a train whizzed past the 100-meter-high overpass, and in just half a minute, it disappeared from Zorro's field of vision.

The road outside the factory is actually empty.

On the sidewalks on both sides, there are basically no pedestrians.

Occasionally, a few men and women in uniforms walked by, but after looking at Zorro with a blank gaze, they quickly staggered past him.

In the conversation between the two factory sisters, Zorro probably learned something.

They are workers at the nearby "polytitanium refinery" and are responsible for one of the processes in the assembly line.

These busy workers apparently see themselves as a type of person, who is just an outsider looking for work.

Zorro looked around, a sudden emptiness in his heart.

This situation is somewhat similar to the mental touch of going to the big city alone in the previous life, lonely and lonely.

He let out a long sigh and walked with his head down.
