The irritable tone and displeasure that Leo showed at this moment, not to mention Nelson, even the most sluggish Jason could feel it.

Nelson knew very well that he should not approach Leo now, otherwise he would probably be called a punching bag, so he cunningly took advantage of Leo's advice and went to a simple shack under the corner of the cage wall to ask someone about something.

As for Jason, he stupidly said to Leo: "Your temper is the same as my mother's, there are always a few days a month when you suddenly ......"

"Jason, do you believe that I can knock out all your teeth with a slap?" Leo turned his head and looked at Jason coldly, and said in an extremely cold tone, "I hope you answer whether you believe it or not, because then I will have an excuse to beat you hard." ”

Sensing that Leo wasn't joking, Jason immediately closed his mouth, shrunk his neck, and stood aside to stop talking.

Leo also sensed that his emotions were really wrong at the moment, which also made him a little annoyed. He felt that this should be some side effects after memory fusion and emotion, and a little negative emotion would be amplified under the influence of side effects, but he had no countermeasures to solve this problem for the time being, and could only hope that after he adapted to the life he now has emotions, this side effect would naturally subside.

"I just asked, a week ago there was a dispute between the factory federation and the workers' association here, and the workers blocked the entrance to the apartment town with steel plates," Nelson, who had already asked about the situation, ran over, explained the situation, and then pointed to a steam elevator not far away, and said, "If you want to get in, you can only take the steam elevator." ”

"Well, let's go!" Leo nodded, and said simply.

The three of them soon came to the steam lift, which was about ten floors above their heads, and there was no one around, and just as the three of them were thinking about how to make the elevator come down, a loudspeaker sounded next to the elevator support, and said, "Go back! Our president will negotiate with the representatives of your factory association tomorrow, and we will not have any negotiations with you today." ”

An inexplicable sentence made the three of them stunned, and after glancing at each other, Nelson immediately took a few steps back, and when he could barely see the scene on the floor where the elevator was located, he stopped, and shouted loudly towards a vague figure next to the elevator: "Hello! We are not from the factory, we are from outside, come here to find a friend." ”

After Nelson shouted loudly, a moment later, the voice from the loudspeaker said, "Pick up the microphone and talk, it's right next to you." ”

At this time, Nelson saw that there was a small horn made of wood wrapped in iron sheets hanging under the horn, so he stepped forward and took it off, not knowing what to do.

Leo on the side couldn't stand it anymore, although there was no such thing as a telephone in the Earth Federation, he still knew the general shape and usage of this thing from some old movies, so he prompted: "Speak into that horn." ”

Hearing Leo's suggestion, Nelson put the trumpet mask on his mouth, pressed it hard, and then said what he had just said out loud.

"Don't be so loud, just whisper. A voice came from the horn, giving Nelson a lesson, and then asking, "Who's the friend you're looking for?"

"Catherine, Catherine Nightingale. Nelson said immediately.

After reporting his name, the other party did not reply for a long time, Nelson looked up in confusion, and then Leo, who was very eye-catching, saw the situation clearly above, and answered Nelson's doubts: "He went to the building, should he ask if the person you are looking for is here?"

As he spoke, Leo suddenly had a strong curiosity, although he was able to suppress this curiosity due to the negative effects, he still decided to follow his original thoughts, and asked Nelson directly: "I heard the name is a woman, is she your girlfriend when she was studying at the academy?"

"This ...... How is this possible!I ...... I ......" Nelson immediately vehemently denied, more like he didn't know what to say, and his face didn't know whether it was because of excitement or shyness, but in short, it became red, like a scalded shrimp.

"I think I have a crush on that Catherine. Even the dullest and dumbest Jason could see the situation at that time from Nelson's performance, and hit mercilessly: "But looking at your current performance, even if the other party doesn't find a man, I'm afraid you shouldn't be able to play." ”

"You ......" Nelson was so choked by Jason's words that he could only grit his teeth and yell at Jason, "You shut up." ”

Jason smiled and shrugged his shoulders, not provoking Nelson's emotions any more.

With no one to provoke, Nelson quickly regained his composure, but the lack of a reply from above made him very anxious, and he couldn't help but think of the joke that Leo had just said to him, maybe Catherine had died a few years ago, which made him very irritable, and kept walking back and forth.

After walking back and forth a few times, Nelson finally couldn't stand the wait anymore and begged Leo, "Leo, can you help me get up......"

"No! Leo interrupted his request, pointed to it, and said.

Nelson looked up and could see a faint voice sticking out of it, looking down, and then heard a slightly hoarse emotional voice coming from the speaker, saying, "Who took Professor Victor's underwear and where did they end up?"

Hearing this, Nelson's anxiety immediately subsided like a tide, and a happy smile appeared on his face, and he said without thinking: "The professor's pants Jeff took and ended up on the head of the library wisdom lion." ”

"It's really you, Nelson, long time no see!"

As the woman's voice came out of the speaker, the steam elevator overhead began to slowly descend. Soon reaching the bottom, Nelson couldn't wait to walk up, and Leo and Jason followed.

After a jolt, the elevator slowly ascended, reaching the position of ten floors in less than a minute. As they ascended, both Nelson and Jason became very worried and frightened, and couldn't help but grab what they could grasp with their hands, and their faces turned pale.

When they arrived at the tenth floor, after the iron door of the elevator was opened, the two of them couldn't care about seeing the environment inside the floor, so they couldn't wait to jump out of the elevator.

Leo calmly walked onto the platform specially built for the elevator, looked at the people standing in front of him, and instinctively incorporated the surrounding environmental data into the subbrain, and simulated an optimal plan in his mind.

"Nelson, it's great to see you here. I saw a mature woman with brown curly hair and a blood-blue lady's apron in the crowd walking up quickly, holding Nelson in her arms without hesitation, and said very kindly.

Not only did Nelson feel a little distracted by the intimacy of the mature woman, not knowing where to put his hand, but it also surprised Jason and the others around him, and several even whistled.

"Shut up! it's all gone, it's my old classmate, you know?" the mature woman let go of Nelson and yelled at the crowd behind her, swinging her fist.

The men immediately laughed and dispersed, leaving only two elevator guards standing by the fence and watching the movement below.

"These two are ......" Catherine didn't immediately ask Nelson about where she was going, but looked at Leo and Jason, who were obviously not as reassured as she was with Nelson.

"This is Leo Dodd, this is Jason, they are my companions. Nelson introduced the two and explained the relationship, but perhaps felt that the companions were not appropriate enough, and added: "There are comrades-in-arms." ”

"Comrade-in-arms?" Catherine was stunned, looked Nelson up and down, with an expression of disbelief, and said, "You went to war?"

"Academy Mission. Nelson smiled bitterly, then his face became gloomy again, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that it failed, and several of my students died on the battlefield." ”

"Is there a war between England and France in the Bret area?" Catherine seemed to confirm to Nelson, and as if she was talking to herself, she raised her hand to stop Nelson from speaking, and said, "This is not the place to talk, go to my clinic." ”

After saying that, she turned around and walked into the hall in front of the elevator, and walked up from a welded suspension ladder on the side, and the three Nelson followed quickly.

After walking more than a dozen floors along the hanging stairs, the group came to a bustling building market.

The originally dark market was full of oil lamps, so even if it wasn't as bright as the outside, it was enough to make people see the inside of the market.

I saw that this market was transformed from a two-story building, and the small shops like square boxes divided the entire floor into pieces, and those who had money rented these small shops, and those who did not have money set up stalls directly in the aisles.

There are a lot of things sold here, from general food, to daily necessities, to all kinds of weapons, and there are some mechanical parts that can't understand the function, but the most traded items are still some crude oil that has not been processed, and in an environment like Cage City, it is very sad to have no lights.

There were a lot of people in the market, most of them wearing workers' clothes, and only a few of them wore some deliberately strangely cut leather trench coats. These fur trench coats seem to be in charge of the entire market, patrolling the market back and forth, although they don't show their weapons, but judging by the uneven shape of the trench coats, everyone should be equipped with a short knife and a crossbow, which seems to be the standard equipment of a certain cage city gang.

Catherine seems to have a lot of prestige here, not only the workers who come here to buy things will salute her, but even the vendors who set up stalls will stand up and salute, and even the unruly gang members bow their heads when Catherine approaches.

"Looks like you're in a very high position here!" Nelson couldn't help but say when he saw this.

Catherine replied flatly, "I just saved some people, and you will be like me when you come here." ”

As she spoke, she led the three of them into the alley at the corner of the market and came to the end of the alley. There is an open door here, and when you walk through the door, you will see a very large room, this room is almost the same size as the previous market, the interior is very clean and hygienic, the beds are neatly arranged in the room, each bed is separated by a white cloth, and there are more oil lamps hanging here than in the previous market, so that the light in the room is very bright.

"Teacher, the patient in the seventh bed has relapsed again. In addition to many patients in the room, there were many men and women dressed as doctors, and one of these women, dressed similarly to Catherine, saw Catherine walk in, and immediately stepped forward quickly, and said anxiously.

When Catherine heard this, she didn't bother to greet the three Nelson, trotted to the position of the seventh bed, took out medical equipment, and carefully checked the patient's condition.

Seeing such a scene, Nelson couldn't stay idle, and hurriedly picked up his medical bag, walked over quickly, and cooperated with Catherine to check the patient.

After Nelson left, Jason looked around a little boredly and found a random chair to sit down.

Leo walked around and looked, and according to his habit, the first thing he noticed was the doors and windows of this big clinic and small hospital.

The door they came in just now should be the back door, the main door is directly opposite the back door, where a white cloth is also used to separate the inside and outside, although the room is sealed, but it does not make people feel stuffy, I think it is related to the ventilation pipes rolled out of the iron sheets in the upper corners of the room.

It's just that the outside air is industrial waste, even if it is introduced into the room by the ventilation pipe, it still makes the air in the room very bad, and in such a bad air environment, the patients here can still be cured.

After the surrounding environment data was incorporated into the paracerebral system, Leo walked to a small open room next to the main entrance, where he saw a variety of sun-dried herbs and animal specimens.

After glancing, he was about to turn to leave, but he stopped, and his eyes fell on a black hard object on the table that looked like an ordinary stone.

With suspicion, Leo stepped forward to pick up the hard object in the shape of a stone, and saw a message from the auxiliary brain system, saying: "High-energy matter has been found, and the energy level is too low to be absorbed." ”

After getting the answer he wanted, Leo put the hard object down, looked at some of the unwiped tools on the table, and then looked at the dismembered mouse-like animal parts in the trash can next to the planing table.

Leo suddenly smiled and said to himself, "It seems that this day should not be boring." ”
